Piririka (voiced by Hiyori Nitta)

The super-naive Hinomoto otaku.

A young CEO of a company who comes from another Netherworld, brought up in a sheltered upbringing. She is a Hinomoto otaku, although most of her knowledge is gathered from different films and manga so it often differs from the reality of Hinomoto.

■ New Feature #1: The Rule-Breaking Simulation RPG Scales up with “Dodeka MAX”!
