please just let him be a dude and not a crossdressing girl please please please 🙏🙏

 

[Phantaminium]

So I can still hold out that it's a chick, we're got like 70% confirmation at this point. Maybe visit their land and parents let it slip

I think they mean iron hammering nail, not finger nail. If that's what you are thinking.

Then the translator really should avoid this ambiguity, because having two different meanings to the same word within a couple pages is extremely jarring.

"Put old nails in wine and drink that"

Yeah, I'll just have anemia, thanks.

Hey I wanna ask am i insecure bitch if i think that main girl should not talk too much to other guys or not be friendly toward other guys? Pls answer if yes I need to change then.

There could also be a chance it affected her mother and she doesn’t want to disclose it.

 

[talas]

I bet she's a reincarnator/transmigrator and was a doctor or something in her last life

She already called the other MC by a Japanese name in Chapter 1, so she totally is.

Today I learned that iron deficiency produces the effect called spoon nails

Her fiancé’s in the room with them both, and he’s clearly a friend suffering from an illness she has knowledge of. Don’t see why this would be an issue at all.

There's some weight in that adding nails in their wine. I heard cooking with iron utensils helps in this kind of cases. Thou it feels weird that he is suffering from anemia when iron cookware is still a thing in the Renaissance era. Maybe it's the cuisine?

It's definitely his imbalanced diet. He avoids meat and even most fish (meat are iron-rich). Plant iron are much less efficiently absorbed (vit C helps a bit hence the advice to season with lemon).
Also, I suspect a high risk of vitamin B12 deficiency, the only source of which is animal products. It can lead to not only anemia but also neurodegenerative disorders. And unlike the vegans today, I don't think they have synthetic supplements to fill the gap of B12.

Yeah, I really want to know more about that, is he a transmigrator and maybe she’s a regressor or something? Otherwise not sure why he’d have a Japanese name.

Putting a nail in your drink to get rid of iron deficiency feels like total BS

Maybe she is actually a reincarnator from the past and MC is a descendant of the person whos name she mistook him as?

You are, in fact, an insecure bitch, yes.

Say what you will, there exist IRL iron things made to be boiled inside food for this exact purpose.

No, it's probably real. My father's side of the family suffers from chronic iron deficiency. Doctors advice includes cooking in cast-iron skillets and the like. I don't know the science behind it, but I figure that iron is juuuust soluble enough that trace amounts get absorbed into food or drink.

 

[Ironclad]

Did she perhaps meet Truck-kun in the past?

And go to med school at that. Koilonychia isn't that well known. Also for shame all you people insisting he was a girl when he was just a girly man with a girly illness.

Just don't have it be a purely rusty one. The alcohol in wine will kill off most, if not all of the bacteria on it, and dissolving small portions of it into the drink allows for easier iron absorption into the body. Now, this also has other dangers as nails generally have things that can't be removed by alcohol that are toxic to the human body, but it was a common remedy in older times.

It's inefficient, but that's only from a modern perspective.

I don't think it's too much of a leap of faith. Dietary iron is the same as nail iron. Things made of iron interact with moisture in a way where small bits come off, most often for us water makes it rust away. If it's in a liquid, small bits are coming off, and you drink that liquid, then the small bits are in your body now.

It would have been better if the author/translator had used 'rusty nails' instead of 'old nails', as I think more people are aware that acids, like wine, dissolve rust. I am not 100% sure rust and wine gets a water soluble iron that the body can absorb, but it makes enough sense that I wouldn't dismiss it outright.

Thanks for the chapter!
