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

Q. Were there any Cavalry members who sensed the romantic atmosphere between Kishiar and Yuder?

A. If you're talking about someone other than Kanna... The atmosphere did change a bit around the time of the Imperial Palace party, but there's no one who's certain yet.

Q. I'm curious about Kishiar and the Cavalry's reaction if Yuder smiles very brightly and widely.

A. Kishiar has no comment. The Cavalry would probably suspect for a moment that they were under the influence of an illusion ability.

Q. What did Kishiar and Yuder do for fun when they were young?

A. Kishiar often snuck out of the palace and roamed all over the place up to the 2nd district. He naturally pretended to be a little attendant while hiding his identity, rode horses, had sword fights, and did everything he could to have fun.

Yuder also had a great time playing alone, roaming the mountains. He sucked flower nectar, picked fruits, climbed trees, observed plants and animals, caught insects, and helped his grandfather. Even just climbing the mountain every day, the day would pass by quickly.

Q. Are Kishiar and Yuder closer to being a beauty or a handsome man?

A. That's a difficult question. I think it would be hard to distinguish between beauty and handsomeness for Kishiar's appearance, but if I had to choose, he would be closer to a handsome man. For Yuder, at first glance, rather than being a beauty or a handsome man, his eyes look scary, so ordinary people don't recognize it well, but I think he's actually above average.

Personally, for Yuder, I imagine his features to be neat and his impression to be decadent when I write.

Q. At what point in the story structure is the current turning point?

A. Looking at the structure of introduction-development-crisis-climax-resolution, I think it's currently at the beginning of the crisis.

Q. A question that came to mind from the scene where Yuder was teaching His Majesty the Emperor: if there's a situation where Yuder has to train or teach Kishiar, what style would it be? Although Yuder has a fair and impartial personality, would it be the same as with the members or Keilusa, or could there be some special treatment or special aspects for Kishiar without him realizing it?

A. If Yuder were to teach Kishiar, I think he could teach him the optimal ways to deal with awakener enemies with various powers (derived from his 11 years of experience). Usually, he would teach how to use power, but he would judge that part to be meaningless for Kishiar.

Of course, if he had to teach something, he would treat him as publicly as possible, but as soon as the class ended, I think the special treatment (whatever that may be, I'll leave it to your imagination) would begin.

Q. In the previous QnA about the modern AU for Kishiar and Yuder, you answered that Kishiar would be a politician and Yuder would be a student or a farmer. Then, may I ask how their first meeting would take place?

A. Since Kishiar is a politician, I think they would meet and get involved while he came to solve a problem related to a local issue (that Yuder is entangled in). Yuder would prejudge him as a star-type politician who only boasts about his appearance and doesn't work, not expecting anything from the beginning, but Kishiar would probably have sparkling eyes seeing Yuder, who protests like a bulldozer and has good judgment despite having no reliable backing. And as a result, the two of them would work together and solve it well.

Q. I got the impression that in this life, Kishiar found Yuder impressive from the beginning when he came to take the Cavalry entrance exam. I'm curious about Kishiar's first impression of Yuder at their very first meeting in the previous life!

A. Of course, even then, Yuder would have been a very impressive applicant to Kishiar La Orr. Especially in the previous life, since he revealed all his abilities from the beginning, it would have been even more so. However, apart from his abilities, his personality was very different back then, so I think there would have been some differences in the impression of that aspect compared to this life.

Q. Kishiar found out that Yuder's soul is older than him, but has he ever thought of him as an older brother, even once? Or maybe he called him older brother in his mind...

A. He hasn't done that yet.

Q. Still, Yuder is a nine-year, fresh-faced younger guy. If there was a time when Kishiar felt a younger vibe(?) from Yuder, I'm curious about when that would be!

A. When dealing with people who are good at their abilities, do their job skillfully, and treat him sincerely (mainly Gakane and Kanna), Yuder shows awkward or clumsy reactions. At those times, Kishiar probably misunderstood that he was still young. ^^

Q. Both when you answered in the previous QnA and looking at the descriptions in the story, I could tell that Yuder's body scent (pheromone scent) is the scent of a ripe fruit tree. I wonder if I may ask what kind of fruit tree or fruit it is...

A. Although I wrote that it's the scent of a ripe fruit tree, it's actually just a feeling, and it's difficult to specify it as exactly the same or similar to something that already exists in this world. It varies depending on the condition of the day and the person perceiving the scent, making it even more so.

However, Kishiar has thought that when Yuder's desire becomes particularly strong, it becomes similar to the scent of overripe grapes.

Q. Yuder doesn't sincerely accept it, but Kishiar seems to genuinely think of Yuder as a beauty and naturally speaks his true feelings. Then, I'm curious if Yuder looked like a beauty in Kishiar's eyes even before he became aware of his feelings blooming for Yuder!

A. It probably wasn't as definite as it is now, but even before he became aware, unlike others, he never once thought that Yuder looked fierce. However, regardless of Yuder's own preferences, he probably judged that perverts with bad taste would be interested in and attracted to him. In fact, that happened in the previous life.

Q. When Kishiar and Yuder fall asleep together in the same bed, I'm curious about what posture they sleep in! Like hugging each other, using an arm as a pillow, or one of them sleeping while being held by the other!

A. When nothing happens, they usually sleep lying on their sides facing each other, with Kishiar lightly placing his hand on Yuder's waist or back. Right after a night together, they just tangle their arms and legs and sleep tightly hugging each other without a single gap. Sometimes, Kishiar also sleeps while patting Yuder on top of him. (Like in the recent heat)

Q. Yuder has no interest in clothing or jewelry at all, but Kishiar is stylish, right? He once gave Yuder a lot of gifts that would suit him, but I wonder if there are any clothes or accessories in his closet that he bought thinking of Yuder but hasn't been able to give him yet.

A. The Kishiar of this life tends to give things boldly as soon as he buys them, so there's nothing he wants to give but hasn't been able to yet. However, in case Yuder comes to the Commander's bedroom where he stays and needs to change clothes or leave after changing, he has prepared various types of clothing and accessories under the name of disguise items.

Q. I'm curious about Kishiar and Yuder's favorite skinship with each other!

A. Kishiar really likes touching or being touched with bare hands because he had long forbidden bare skin contact with others when he had problems with his vessel.

Yuder isn't very aware of it, but he likes kissing the most.

Q. I want to know the seal patterns of each family!

A. It would be difficult to write them all, so I'll just write the ones that seem important for now.

Imperial family official: A lion that swallowed the light

Emperor: The sun

Empress: A meteor

Crown Prince: 5 small lights

Peletta (although it's just Kishiar alone): Flames burning in multiple branches

Diarca: Branches spreading in two directions and a hawk

Apeto: 3 petals and 2 swords crossed in the center

Tain: Deer antlers wrapped around a shield

Herne: A winged spear piercing 4 waves

Q. Does Kishiar know that Yuder 'really' 'very' 'quite' likes his face (and appearance)? Sometimes when I read Yuder's rambling descriptions of Kishiar's appearance, it feels like he's looking at him almost as if he's enchanted (although he looks expressionless on the outside), so I couldn't help but smile, thinking that Kishiar, who is sensitive about Yuder, couldn't possibly not notice this. I'm curious if Kishiar is aware of it and enjoying it while pretending not to know, or if he hasn't noticed Yuder's infatuation(?) yet.

A. He knows it has a good effect since Yuder often gets enchanted when he wants him to, but he doesn't actually guess Yuder's exact thoughts. If he could know his true feelings, he would probably be quite moved.

Q. Are there any plans for future episodes related to Kishiar's heat? -Adding a personal bias, I hope the suppression device development remains incomplete until then..^^-

A. Yes, there are. ^^

Q. If Yuder and Kishiar's hair colors were the opposite, would the image felt from their appearance have been different from now? Since both of their hair colors are uncommon in novels, they seem to have some influence on their external atmosphere. I'm curious about how it would have been if Yuder had light hair and Kishiar had dark hair.

A. It's an interesting point that I haven't imagined. In Yuder's case, his features would have stood out more, giving him a first impression of looking easy to the ignorant, and the shock would have been multiplied by 10 when he later revealed his temper. In Kishiar's case, he would have lost half of his sunniness, but his eroticism would have increased by 500%, and he might have been criticized for being obscene just by walking around...

Q. Who was the first member to come up with the catchphrase 'The spirit of the Cavalry, the quality the Cavalry is proud of = Yuder'?

A. It's hard to say it was made precisely, but the trigger was provided by Devran. After being rescued by Yuder during the Eastern Hartan incident, he started to shield Yuder quite diligently to his colleagues who were struggling with Yuder's training. Until then, he himself felt awkward about the situation, so it often turned into a nonsense festival. Among all the nonsense that came out in the process, the parts that resonated the most with the members' hearts were combined to complete this catchphrase. Now everyone uses it sincerely.

Q. I'm curious about the standard of being full for Yuder. If we take a cake (1 whole - 8 pieces) as an example, how many wholes can he eat? Or if he doesn't set any limits himself, he can eat endlessly... Our Yuder is the best in the world, not only in ability but also in appetite!

A. He would judge 1 whole to be enough to be considered well-eaten, but if someone keeps giving him without limits after that, he can eat as much as he is given. If he eats more than 5 wholes, he would refuse, thinking the time spent eating more would be a waste.
