[Turning] Author's Q&A 2 (Part 4)

3. Perilla Leaf Debate

Yuder: Looking at the letter Enon sent this time, it seems that Robel helped cut the meat for someone who was clumsy with a knife during a meal, and his relationship with Marty became quite cold, making the atmosphere in the Western Branch not very good for a while. Robel is used to taking care of others, so he probably cut it without realizing it, but Marty's stance seems to have been that even so, helping excessively with a dish that one can cut and eat by oneself means there is interest, right?

Kishiar: Hmm. Since they are lovers, he could react sensitively.

Yuder: I don't quite understand it.

Kishiar: Think about it. What if we all went to eat and I cut Nathan's meat into pretty bite-sized pieces? How would it be?

Yuder: Unless Sir Zuckerman has learned the sword in vain or is in a situation where he can't use one arm, it's impossible.

Nathan in the distance: ......

Kishiar: Hahaha! Did you hear that, Nathan? It must be nice to receive such cold trust in your skills.

Kishiar: Hmm... then shall we change it to Pharmacist Enon?

Yuder: ...I think Enon would be miserable (cursing).

Kishiar: Nice. Then how about Gakane?

Yuder: Wouldn't it be better if I just cut it? Whoever the other person is, if such a situation arises, just order me. It will be over quickly if I use my power.

Kishiar: Hmm~...... Alright. An order it is.

Yuder: Why are you smiling like that (suspiciously and contentedly)?

Kishiar: No. No. Anyway, I got it. Since my assistant says so, I promise that from now on, I will never even look at or touch another person's meat.

Yuder: When did I say that?

Kishiar: Instead, you have to ask me first when you think you need to cut someone else's meat.

Yuder: ...Isn't the order of things getting strange in many ways now?

Kishiar: Hahaha!

Q. Is there any plan for a print edition release during the serialization?

A. Until recently, there wasn't, but... now I'm considering it in various ways.

Q. Is there a significant difference in the cycle of heat between individuals (for example, from monthly to yearly), or is it roughly similar for everyone within a certain range like the menstrual cycle of real human females? Once they have an imprinted partner, does the cycle also lengthen as they adjust to each other? As they age, does the heat cycle lengthen or disappear, similar to the process of menopause? Does the heat stop for omegas during pregnancy? If an imprinted omega becomes pregnant, does the alpha's heat also stop together? The questions all seem a bit like that as the imagination continues based on the female menstrual cycle.

A. In the case of heat, there is a large difference between individuals, but the frequency is generally about 1 to 4 times a year. ^^

For the other parts, since it has only been 2 years (13 years even considering the previous life) since the second gender appeared in the world, it is something that has hardly been observed within the worldview, so it may be a bit difficult to think of it as similar to the case of first gender females due to large variations and difficulty in generalization. Some of those things have not even been recognized as existing concepts yet.

Q. If a first gender male manifests as an omega, does it still not change the fact that he can impregnate a female? Conversely, if a first gender female manifests as an alpha, is it possible for her to become pregnant and give birth? I'm also curious if there have been such cases.

A. From what Yuder witnessed in his previous life, there were very rare cases of both the former and the latter, but all of them ended in miscarriage and the children were not born safely. Even awakeners without a second gender had great difficulty having offspring, and in the case of second gender manifestations, it is even more extremely difficult than that.

Q. When the first second gender manifestation occurred, I'm curious about how it became known that omegas can become pregnant and give birth. Is there someone somewhere who has given birth? Is it possible to realize it oneself as soon as one manifests from the beginning? Will there be an occasion for the first person to give birth to meet Yuder or Kishi?

A. The previous question may be explained in the work, so I will hold off on answering it. As of now, there is no proper person who has given birth, so it would be difficult to meet them.

Q. I'm also curious about Kishiar and Yuder's weight. Kishiar would be over 100 kilograms, right? I think Yuder would be in the 70-kilogram range since he was described as slender, but what do you think?

A. Kishiar's weight is around 97-100 kg, and Yuder's weight is around 75 kg.

Q. Are both Kishiar and Yuder right-handed? Seeing how they are good at everything, I hope they are ambidextrous stemming from being left-handed... Are there any left-handed characters among the other characters? (If it has already been described, I apologize ㅠㅠ)

A. Both of them are ambidextrous. Yuder is an acquired ambidextrous stemming from being right-handed, but Kishiar grew up putting different emphasis on both hands depending on the situation from the beginning.

Q. Are there any plans to add more cover illustrations? ㅠㅠㅠ The cover is so cool (although it's all about the cost), I couldn't resist asking out of the desire to see additional illustrations. I want to see other characters in illustrations too.

A. Yes, there are. When I come back from the break, I will try to add illustrations as often as possible.

Q. Yuder seems to have little body hair, but what about Kishiar? Like his beard, legs, or chest... Even if he doesn't eat or sleep during heat, does his beard not grow?

A. That... I will leave it to the realm of imagination.

Q. What is the average life expectancy of people in this world?

A. It varies quite a bit depending on the country or region, but it's around 70-80. In the Orr Empire, where there have been no major changes such as wars for a long time, there are quite a few people who have lived close to 100 years old even as commoners, and priests, knights, and mages generally live healthily longer than ordinary people if they don't overdo it. However, those with outstanding skills close to being masters (as explained in the work) may have a vessel that cracks as their weakened body cannot endure the power as they age, and they may spend a difficult time and die early.

Q. While writing, are there any countries/systems in the real world that served as models for each country?

A. There are, but I tried to mix in as much fiction as possible so that it wouldn't be exactly identified with real-life elements, so it's difficult to say something specific. However, if I were to mention one, the tradition of southern people in the empire passing down the family to the youngest is modeled after the ultimogeniture of nomads.

Q. While watching Thor, I saw Chris Hemsworth's full body, but Kishiar is even taller than that. I suddenly became curious about which real actors could be chosen as the closest image to Kishiar and Yuder.

A. I really thought hard about it, but... it seems a bit difficult in reality. ㅠㅠ

Q. You know the ancient costume Yuder wore when he infiltrated that underground illegal fighting ring... Could you possibly let me know the image of the costume that you think is the most similar... I'm so curious... I want to at least imagine Yuder's fatal appearance,,ㅎㅎ휴ㅠㅠ

A. I thought of a color that is white, and a form that is half mixed with ancient Egyptian and Greek costumes.

I'm attaching the image that I think is the most similar below.
