- "A furniture normally stands by the side of its master in silence without intruding or giving opinions. When the master needs it, it reliably fulfills its role only by the necessary amount. I serve everyday thinking a servant also should be like that."
- — Episode 8, Chapter 2
Genji Ronoue (呂ノ上 源次 Ronoue Genji) is the head butler who manages the servants who work under the Ushiromiya family. He is the one who has served Kinzo the longest, and has obtained his greatest trust.
Since he is Kinzo's immediate servant, he is thought of as Kinzo's spy by Krauss and his wife.
Appearance
Genji is of Chinese descent. He appears as a tanned, slim and old man with short white hair and wears a butler uniform with the One-Winged Eagle Crest. He is quite tall, has a light skin complexion and black eyes. In the manga, as a young man, he had jet black hair falling down his shoulders with rather curly bangs falling down his eyes. He usually keeps his hair tied up with a ribbon.
Personality
In the past, he shared a rivalry with Kinzo. According to Kinzo, even though he was a serious and silent individual, he was a schemer who would shamelessly scam others. In present times, he was still stoic but strict, as was expected of the chief butler. He is also very devoted to Kinzo for having helped him in the past.

Turn of the Golden Witch
Missing
This unselfish furniture seeks nothing but rest in the Golden Land. However, since a fool obstinately blocks the Golden Land, his rest is extremely unlikely to come for now. Afterwards, he was torn to pieces and eaten by the demons, and went to hell.
Banquet of the Golden Witch
Death
His body was found in the honored guests room on the second floor. The weapon is assumed to be a gun or a spear-shaped object. Genji worked for many years of service, so the family let him sleep in the honored guest's room.
Alliance of the Golden Witch
Death
His body was found in the dining hall. His head was half destroyed. It is probably appropriate to think that he was murdered with something like a powerful gun. However, the witnesses don't believe that he was killed with a gun.
End of the Golden Witch
Death
His body was discovered in the servants' room on the first floor of the mansion.
The direct cause of death is unknown, but his neck was slashed open by a sharp knife. The wound is very deep, so anyone can easily see that he definitely died.
