Mao Yoshino (吉（よし）野（の）真（ま）央（お）, Yoshino Mao^?) is one of the students from Japan who got involved in the Summoning Incident, and ended up in Tortus along with her other classmates. She is a member of Jugo Nagayama's party during the training in Great Orcus Labyrinth.

Appearance

Mao is a young girl with medium-length brown hair and green eyes.

Personality

Mao is a carefree person, who tends to not take matters as serious as they really are.

Chronology

One day during her second year of high school, Mao and her entire class was summoned to Tortus by its god Ehit in order to help humanity's war against the Demons. She and her classmates trained in the Heiligh Kingdom for two weeks, under the supervision of Knight Commander Meld Loggins, before they traveled to the Great Orcus Labyrinth, in order to fight the monsters that dwelled inside it until they were strong enough to fight the demons. During their first trip the the Labyrinth, they were all transported to the 65th floor due to a trap that was accidentally set off by Daisuke Hiyama. It was there that they were all surrounded by an army of skeletal Traum Soldiers on one side, and a Behemoth on the other. After a fierce battle, almost everyone managed to escape, but Ayako's classmate Hajime Nagumo was believed to have been killed when he fell off the bridge the Behemoth stood on, after he helped keep it at bay in order for the rest of his class to escape. This ordeal had severely effected the remaining students' morale, but Mao was among those who resumed their training in the Great Orcus Labyrinth.

She has taken Hajime's warning of killing anyone who crosses him even his old classmates seriously when Hajime killed Daisuke Hiyama for temporarily murdering Kaori Shirasaki. After returning to Earth, Mao was inspired by Hajime to start a business where she can use her magic to help people, as well as make money off of it.
