“	What's this? Despite all appearances, you're quite humble.	”
—Yelme, to Riko

Yelme (イェルメ, Ierume) is a Moon Whistle Delver and a member of Ozen's delver squad, the Subterranean Bandits.

Appearance

Yelme has dark green hair, with a lighter tone of green in the middle. He wears typical delver's gear with a dark brown muffler.

Personality

From his brief appearances, he seems to be nonchalant and lighthearted. However, he is still generally kind, as well as loyal to Ozen. He appears to care a good deal for Marulk especially, as he is willing to disobey direct orders from Ozen at the child's tearful request. He also playfully teases Riko when she shows modesty during their send-off from Seeker Camp.

He's skilled at gathering information in a discreet manner, as shown when he puts on a drunken facade as he approaches Cravagli and Tepaste to get them to let their guard down. He is also able to avoid Tepaste's first attack despite her agility, although she is still able to strike him twice right after.

History

Pre-Orth Arc

Spoiler warning: The following section contains spoilers. Read with caution.

The conversation in the Tumble Tavern between Tepaste and Cravagli is interrupted by Yelme, who appears to be drunk. He then tells Tepaste this tavern is no place for non-Delvers, remarks she doesn't seem to be from around here, and notes that the abyssal twist in her hair can only come from diving deep in the Abyss. As such, he asks if she's merely hiding her whistle and if she could just show it.

Tepaste teasingly replies she shouldn't do that here, not that she minds doing it in public. As she leans in, she threatens Yelme, who currently has four prior criminal offenses, and teasingly states how it would be a shame if he were to get banned from delving or even demoted to a lower whistle rank again. She also highlights being aware of his group affiliation as a Subterranean Bandit. Tepaste attempts to stab Yelme's hand with a metallic claw on her hand, which he avoids, but he is hit by a chin jab from her and stomped on the foot while avoiding the claw.

As he staggers over, Cravagli catches him and places him on his lap. He tells Yelme a proper greeting is important, as it is the basis for communication. The Hamoroge Bowl ordered by Tepaste arrives, and Cravagli feeds it to Yelme while elaborating on the dish as well as noting it works well against tipsiness from drinking too much on an empty stomach. As he feeds it to Yelme, Yelme asks for Tepaste's name, to which she energetically replies but also notes she doesn't think they will meet again.

After the two left the pub, it turned out Yelme picked Cravagli's pockets, noted that Tepaste had a really keen eye, and Cravagli also didn't give him much room to work with, which caused him to only be able to steal a few scraps. Zapo notes Cravagli to be a genius solo Delver, and as he picks up a note Yelme manages to steal. Neither Simred nor Yelme can make sense of the note reading "Faraway Nest," to which Zapo is surprised they have never heard of that.

Seeker Camp Arc

Marulk goes to get Yelme and the other Subterranean Bandits during the fight between Ozen and Reg, in hopes they can help to stop them.

After Reg regains consciousness, Yelme and the other Subterranean Bandits inform him about what happened after he passed out and that Ozen was only testing them to judge if Riko and Reg are ready to hold their own in the next layers.

During Reg and Riko's training, Yelme and the other Subterranean Bandits keep an eye on them and report their progress to Ozen.

When Reg and Riko leave the Seeker Camp, he sees them off with the other Bandits.

Abilities

Delving Skills
