Polt/Relationship

The following is a description of Polt's relationships and interactions with other characters in Monster Musume: Everyday Life with Monster Girls.

Polt's interactions differ somewhat between the manga and the Anime, as in OAD 1: Everyday Life at the Pool, Polt had many and different interactions with various characters with whom she had little interactions in the manga series.

Poltfan
Poltfan is a human man who was originally just one of the visitors to Polt's gym. However, he eventually took a job as Polt's interpreter when she traveled abroad. In Chapter 64, due to the apparent presence of two wedding rings, it is hinted that Polt and Poltfan have become closer and possibly even married, although this has not been definitely confirmed in the series so far, as Poltfan, when Kimihito visits the Kobold Casino (chronologically after Volume 16), introduced himself to Kimihito only as Polt's interpreter and not as her husband.

Polt's exact relationship to Poltfan is not entirely clear, but since he is her interpreter during important negotiations, she probably trust him because of his competence, and if he is really her husband, the two are probably very close to each other.

Kimihito Kurusu
When Polt introduced herself to the Kurusu household in the anime, she shook hands with each member of the Kurusu household including Kimihito before giving them a tour of the gym. Polt and Kimihito oversaw the demi-human girls trying out the "pigeon pose". Later on in the pool, Polt and Kimihito took the roles as commentators on the race mainly between Miia and Meroune but the commentators ignored Centorea who was also in the race.

Since their first encounter in Chapter 17, Kimihito and Polt have become very good friends, although Kimihito sometimes finds Polt's unwavering optimism and almost fanatical enthusiasm for the Extra Species Exchange Program a bit strange. But he also greatly admires her for her tireless determination and hard work in trying to improve the living conditions of the Liminals in human society. In return, Polt trusts Kimihito very much and is always willing to ask him for advice or help, such as his review of the Kobold Casino. But she also feels guilty when inconveniences happen to him.

Kuroko Smith
Polt had been good friends with the Interspecies Exchange Coordinator Smith. Not only Smith called in favours with the kobold woman to have the Kurusu household to try out the gym in Chapter 17, Polt also allowed the M.O.N. squad to workout in the gym at the agent's request in the anime. Polt and Ms Smith share a mutual respect for each other and it is also assumed that it was Ms Smith who placed Draco and Lilith under Polt's supervision.

In Chapter 29, Ms Smith asked Polt to use the Kobold Stadium for the duel between Centorea and her mother, with Ms Smith apologizing to Polt for bothering her with this. However, Polt blithely dismissed this and assured Ms Smith that she would be happy to loan her the stadium whenever she wanted.

Miia
When Polt introduced herself, she shook hands with each member of the Kurusu household including Miia before giving them a tour of the gym. The kobold took note to come up with different exercises corresponding to the different body types as she was aware that Miia, Meroune, and Centorea could not use the treadmill. Polt later gave Miia, Meroune, and Centorea special racing swimsuits before they could swim in the pool. The kobold then took note to come up with different stretches when she saw Miia and Meroune could not do the normal stretches because of their lower halves. Polt and Kimihito took the roles as commentators for the race between Miia and Meroune. When the lamia was slowed down as she was losing body temperature, the kobold took note to set the pool temperature to high.

In Chapter 43, Miia asked Polt for a job as a gym trainer, an offer that Polt was only too happy to accept due to a shortage of trainers. Unfortunately, due to the different body physiology between Lamia and humans, Miia's stretching exercises resulted in injuries to her students, which is why Polt eventually had to dismiss Miia, to the mutual regret of both of them.

Papi
There was not much interaction between the Kobold and the Harpy. When Polt introduced herself to the Kurusu household shaking in the Anime the hands of each member before giving them a tour of the gym, she shook one of Papi's wings and one of Suu's hands simultaneously. Later on, Polt let Papi play in a shallower pool for kids.

In the manga, Polt and Papi have barely interacted with each other, even though they know each other. While Polt and Papi mostly get along well, Miia also mentions in Chapter 81 that Polt yells out at the Harpy every time when she plays in the gym pool at the Sports Club Kobold because the pool is only intended for swimming.

Centorea Shianus
When Polt introduced herself, she shook hands with each member of the Kurusu household including Centorea before giving them a tour of the gym. The kobold took note to come up with different exercises corresponding to the different body types as she was aware that Miia, Meroune, and Centorea could not use the treadmill. Polt later gave Miia, Meroune, and Centorea special racing swimsuits before they could swim in the pool. The kobold did not pay any attention to the centaur who was swimming normally and during the swimming race that was mainly between Miia and Meroune. Polt as one of the two commentators was unaware of Centorea winning the swimming race.

Suu
There was not much interaction between the slime and the kobold. When Polt introduced herself to the Kurusu household shaking the hands of each member before giving them a tour of the gym, she shook one of Papi's wings and one of Suu's hands simultaneously. Later on, Polt let Suu hang around in her bucket floating in a shallower pool for kids.

Meroune Lorelei
When Polt introduced herself in the anime, she shook hands with each member of the Kurusu household including Meroune before giving them a tour of the gym. The kobold took note to come up with different exercises corresponding to the different body types as she was aware that Miia, Meroune, and Centorea could not use the treadmill. Polt later gave Miia, Meroune, and Centorea special racing swimsuits before they could swim in the pool. The kobold then took note to come up with different stretches when she saw Miia and Meroune could not do the normal stretches because of their lower halves. Polt and Kimihito took the roles as commentators for the race between Miia and Meroune. When the Mermaid was slowed down due to the chlorine making her sick, the Kobold woman took note to use ozone to disinfect the pool.

Rachnera Arachnera
There was not much interaction between the Arachne and the Kobold. When Polt introduced herself to the Kurusu household before giving them a tour of the gym, she shook hands with each member including Rachnera. The arachne had used some of the gym's equipment for bondage on Papi, Suu, Lala, and possibly Polt. The kobold revealed that she had a special eye-washing faucet for the arachne who had six eyes. Polt allowed Rachnera to relax in the lounge area.

In the manga series, Polt and Rachnera have barely interacted, even though they know and respect each other.

Lala
There was not much interaction between the kobold and the Dullahan. After Polt shook hands with each member of the Kurusu household when they first met, the kobold was seen playing with the dullahan's detachable head as if it was a ball for a short period of time before the Kurusu household tried out the gym.

Tionishia
Polt and Tio generally get along well, but as shown in Chapter 41, Tio can influence the Kobold woman, albeit rather unintentionally, with her loving, motherly aura. Under the influence of this aura, Polt felt into a tired and lethargic state, in contrast to her usual hard-working nature, and also showed an emotionally vulnerable and insecure side and poured her heart out to Tio, whereupon Tio assured her that she knows better than anyone else how much and how hard Polt works to manage her own gym and that she tries to help bridge the interspecies divide. This means that Polt and Tio get along well as friends, but also that Tio's aura is not without problems for Polt.

Zombina
Polt and Zombina have barely interacted throughout the manga series, but they get along and respect each other.

Manako
Polt and Manako have barely interacted throughout the manga series, but they get along and respect each other.

Doppel
Polt and Doppel have barely interacted throughout the manga series, but they get along and respect each other.

Draco
After Draco was caught because of her misdeeds, like going out without her host family, she now has to do community service more or less willingly under Polt. As stated in Monster Musume: Monster Girls on the Job!, Polt occasionally tends to take advantage of the fact that Draco tends to jump to conclusions, such as when Draco heard that Kimihito would be visiting the Kobold Casino, which Draco was prepared that she would help Polt, as she hoped that Miia would accompany Kimihito to the casino; Polt didn't lie to Draco, but she also didn't tell her that Kimihito would come alone so that Draco would help her.

Basically, Polt has a lot of patience and is unimpressed by her constant complaints, but Polt can also reach the end of her patience when she finally became quite unnerved by Draco's complaining about the reverse bunny girl suit and said that Draco could just take it off. But as Kimihito also notes, Polt never gave up her belief in Draco, despite all the trouble the Dragonewt woman constantly causes, for which Draco is very grateful to her.

Kii
Polt and Kii have a good relationship and the Kobold woman is one of the few friends of Kii. Polt often cleans Kii's forest of the trash left behind by the humans, although Kii, at least initially, was not enthusiastic about Polt's efforts as seen in Chapter 41, as she has not asked Polt for help and feared that cleaning up the trash would cause even more disturbance in the forest. However, after Tio convinced the Dryad that Polt's efforts were for the best for her, Kii finally agreed.

Polt knows very well how stubborn Kii can often be and that's why she was more than amazed that Tio managed to convince the Dryad so easily. As later revealed in Monster Musume: Monster Girls on the Job!, Kii is often willing to help Polt, such as with the Kobold Casino, although this "help" was not without ulterior motives, as it gave Kii the opportunity as card dealer to financially ruin humans without violating the Cultural Exchange between Species Bill. As Kimihito notes, like Draco and Lilith, Kii is also very grateful to Polt, that the Kobold woman never give up her belief in her, despite all the trouble the Dryad often caused.

Lilith
After Lilith was caught because of her misdeeds, like going out without her host family, she now has to do community service more or less willingly under Polt. Lilith often tries to avoid certain tasks that she doesn't like with her childlike charm, although Polt mostly sees through this. Due to her always optimistic nature, Polt generally shows a lot of patience towards Lilith, although she is always ready to reprimand the Devil woman severely, for example when she crushed Lilith's cigarette pack when she smoked without permission on the casino premises. But as Kimihito notes in Monster Musume: Monster Girls on the Job!, Polt never gives up her belief in Lilith, despite all the trouble the Devil woman constantly causes, for which Lilith is very grateful to her.
