Ivy is a girl from a previous life that was cut short who is reborn in another world, where people hold multiple skills and are ranked with stars; however, she only has the no star Tamer skill. She is hated and abused by her once loving family because of it, forcing Ivy to live in the forest after fleeing her now abusive home; however, the local fortune teller takes pity on Ivy, educating and supplying her. After the fortune teller passes away years later, Ivy leaves the area and finds a weak, dying slime; she tames it, naming her new familiar Sora.
As the story progresses, it is revealed the current headman of Ivy's village is shortsighted; enforcing the bigotry that drove Ivy off and ignoring the advice of the fortune teller, leading the village into decline. He brands any villagers who desert as criminals and tries desperately to maintain his reputation, which slowly takes a toll on his sanity.
Fecilla is the daughter of Tablo and Furefe and the sister of Feton and Femicia. After her sister was exiled, she also faced an unfair and unjust treatment when she was falsely accused by her family and the Village Head as well as being (just like her sister) exiled from her home and the village as well when she was also accused of being weak. She later exposed her family's actions towards her and her sister, allowing them to be sentenced to a mine as slaves. She was taken under Oguto’s wing who adopted her and became her father-figure and currently resides in Latome Village. Fecilla was first shown with her family, at that point she and Femicia/Ivy got along very well and had a strong bond. However, that all changed one day when Femicia was revealed to be a starless beast tamer, as a result when her parents and her sister arrived home she was shocked to learn that her little sister was starless. Her father Tablo enraged that his child was starless promptly disowned and kicked Femicia out of their home. Fecilla did nothing to help her and only looked at her sister in disgust as she was forcibly thrown out of their family and home. However, this one event not only changed the life of her sister, but her’s as well. After Ivy was thrown out of the village, her family and the entire village turned on her as she had a one star skill and this was seen as inferior to everyone else, due to the Idiot Village Head’s declaration that the starless and those with a low star count are inferior. This caused Fecilla to regret treating Ivy the way she did as she now understood firsthand what her sister had gone through. This caused her to realize that all those in her village were delusional thinking that those who are starless or have a low star count were cursed or inferior and decided to rebel against the village.
Tablo is the husband of Furefe and the father of Feton, Fecilla and Femicia. For supporting the idiot village head, Tablo along with his wife and son were arrested and sentenced to a mine as slaves for their actions against the starless as well both his daughters. Tablo is a pious and prejudiced man who deeply believes in the teachings of his village, specifically that starless people are nothing more than curses and misfortunes. As such, when he discovered that his youngest daughter Femicia was starless, he became hateful, angry, resentful and abusive towards her, accusing her of bringing their family nothing but hardships, pains, sufferings and misfortunes just by existing and beating her within an inch of her life whenever he could, which ultimately drove her to run away from home and live in the forest. In anime, he didn't hurt Femicia physically, but when she tried to talk to him to calm him down when he was depressed and drinking alcohol, he angrily yells at her not to speak just because she is starless and doesn't believe his youngest daughter is really even his child. Even three years later, his hatred for her never wavered, as he wouldn't even refer to her as a human being as he was told by the Village Chief to find her and kill her under the deluded belief that it will save the village from ruin, with Tablo agreeing that she will be grateful to be dead because she'll be returned to God who can remove her "curse". Ivy, who was nearby and listening, took this as her opportunity to flee for her life, effectively destroying their relationship beyond repair with no hope to reconcile at all.
Tablo is also a coward and a hypocrite, as sometime after his youngest daughter escaped the town of Latomi, he and his wife joined the rest of the village in rebelling against or trying to escape from the chief, blaming him for the misery that had befallen the village and denying any role in Louver's death. Ultimately, Tablo pays for his evil actions when his oldest daughter Fecilla notifies Latome Village of his crimes, leading him to become a slave in the mines for 55 years, virtually for the rest of his life.
He initially held great respect for Luba because she knew when the time to harvest Zaro Fruits was and he would give his son Feton an earful for being rude and disrespectful to her, but it is implied that he doesn't like the fact he doesn’t know when he realizes she started protecting and caring for his disowned and abandoned daughter and going along with the village chief's delusions that she had been cursed by the starless.
Furefe is the wife of Tablo and the mother of Feton, Fecilla and Femicia. Furefe loves her family, even her youngest daughter, but when she learns that Femicia is a starless tamer, she doesn't wants her husband to be verbally abusive toward her family and tries to stop him from drinking alcohol too much, but he went too far in lashing out at her wife when he even he that Femicia isn't his child which upsets her while crying, her eldest son throws her youngest daughter out of the house.
When Tablo and the village head plan to kill Ivy, she imagines her mother saying if Ivy haven’t been born, Latomi Village have been better.
In the Manga, she treated Femicia like dirt, by not waking her up and not cooking something for her to eat without regret and pretended not to know that Femicia was being abused by her husband. Because she seems more focused over her own grief than her youngest daughter, she refused to stop him from hitting her and wishes that Femicia was never born in this world.
After both her daughters, Femicia and later Fecilla escape Latomi village, She sentenced 55 years as a mine slave with her husband for his involvement in several cases in Latomi town due to the Idiot Village Head's delusions of grandeur such as the falsely accusation on her eldest daughter, Fecilla.
She has great respect for Luba the fortune teller who protects the crops with her fortune telling and she respectfully apologizes to Luba on the behalf of her son's rude behavior towards her, but it is implied that she doesn't like the fact she doesn't know when she realizes she started caring for her disowned daughter and going along with the village chief's delusions that she had been cursed by the starless.
Feton is the son of Tablo and Furefe and the brother of Fecilla and Femicia. He bullies his sisters for being inferior than him on a count he's blinded by higher stars and skills. Afterwards, he and his parents were arrested and sentenced to a mine as slaves for their actions towards both his sisters. Like his father, he detests starless people believing they bring misfortune to the village. He is a selfish, arrogant, spoiled and bratty bully who suffered a superiority complex when he bullies the starless children and those who having stars weaker than him because of the misery they will bring to the village and anyone who is inferior to him due to him blinded by higher stars. Such as his youngest sister was born a starless child after they got back from church he hurts her violently and kicks her out of the house. He accused his other sister, Fecilla of being weak like Femicia. (Later, as a consequence for his false accusations toward Fecilla, he served 38 years as a slave in the mine for helping his parents with various crimes due to the Idiot Village Head's delusions of grandeur.) He shows such rudeness and disrespectfulness towards Luba because she has one star, but his father grabbed him by the ear to lecture him to watch his mouth because he didn’t realize that she saves the Zaro Fruits with her fortune telling skill.

After the greetings, Meela expresses her gratitude for what Ivy said at the sweets place. Meanwhile, Shifale tells Burksby about the plan to use the sleep sphere, while Nouga gives Burksby a special item designed to be used against powerful monsters to use against the enemy. Later, Aggrop has the special unit assembled, while Borolda and Rikvelt leads a group of adventurers to deal with the monsters with both groups consisting of mostly traitors in order to steer them away from town during the operation. Ivy and Lattrua go out for sweets with Green Gale at Meela's preferred place, which is all part of Ivy's plan. | |||||

At the sweets place, Ivy and Lattrua pretend to fall into Green Gale's trap knowing that the owner Hagg is a traitor. They talk about a special mission while Hagg prepares the sweets and after Hagg leaves, Lattrua outs the truth about Green Gale working for the organization. Tolto and Malma fight Lattrua, but Meela decides to help Lattrua by sending her tamed slimes to stop her brothers. Meanwhile, Faltoria arrives at the organization's base to order his watchmen to empty the secret room. Upon entering the secret room, the sleep sphere activates, putting everybody at the base to sleep. Outside of town, Burksby leads the special unit far enough away from town, and then uses the special item, a large net imbued with strength-sapping magic, to round up the traitors among the watchmen, while Borolda and his allies deal with the traitors among the adventurers. That evening, the traitors are rounded up and brought to the base. The town's civilians prepare to start a riot, but Burksby quells the situation by explaining that the traitors will be punished through slave labor, a punishment fitting for their crimes, but ask the civilians to be patient and let the legal process play out. Afterwards, Seyzelk orders the people found near the base to gather and get checked by Sora to determine who served as enemy lookouts. | |||||

A few days later, the investigation wraps up with Burksby and Aggrop explaining the extent of the organization's crime network to Ivy and presents a reward of 150 ladal for her assistance. Afterwards, Ivy goes hunting with Ciel and catches several rabbits and field mice. That night, Rogleef throws a party to celebrate the apprehension of the organization. Rogleef and his comrades explain that Faltoria confessed to the crimes, while Green Gale's role was minimal that likely means leniency for Meela. Borolda tells Ivy that he had to reveal Sora to Rogleef in order to catch the traitors. Ivy then shows Sora to everybody, with Rogleef taking note of its translucence that makes this slime rare. Rogleef asks Ivy if she is willing to consider living in Otolwa, and recalling Luba's words about how people are more important to place, Ivy reveals her secret about her starless tamer skill to everybody. After hearing Ivy's story, everybody praises her strength and believes that stars are totally meaningless, which convinces Ivy to continue her journey. The next day, Ivy says goodbye to the adventurers and watchmen as she leaves Otolwa having been given upgraded magic bags as gifts. As they see her leave, Ciel rejoins her with Shifale commenting about how she is stronger than those who have stars that go unused. In the epilogue, the story about how Sora met Ivy is told. |
