Rinkoku kara Kita Yome ga Kawaisugite Doushiyou - Vol. 1 Ch. 5

[fighte-o]

Yes. And to be honest, I wonder why the author went that route. It just feels... kinda redundant? I don't know, the main character is still the dude. So... why was the reincarnator part needed?

I guess someone wanted to write about how reincarnated people look from the outside. As valid as anything, really.

 

[Kamimamimashita]

My guess is that the MC was injured sometime ago and she helped him recoop.

Reminder Anemia is considered a "women's disease" because women are more likely to affected by lack of iron due to blood loss due to menstrual cycles.
In modern times you see a higher rate in women due to greater odds of women avoidance of red meat for a variety of reasons.

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? There's a few cooking methods that don't need that much utensils in the process so I bet that's the case for him.

The shift from cast iron cookware caused the rates of anemia to rise sharply.
Its possible they are cooking on some sort of enamelwear using wooden utsenils with porcelain serving wear?

It is difficult to gain from the iron accumulations of animal tissue sources because your body has to break down the tissue to a level where it can absorb the nutrients it needs, and if your digestive tract does not have enough acid and enzymes the tissue you eat just passes through as waste or even harmful sludge.
Basically the easiest ways to get iron is by ingesting plants that accumulated iron from the soil that was broken down through natural oxidative or chelation processes.
Vitamin C is mandatory for the body to absorb and utilize iron in pharmaceutical forms like iron sulfate.
There are now some supplements that use chelated forms of iron that can easily be absorbed by the body without the utilization issues and side effects of iron sulfate.
There are lots of vegan sources of iron because the critters all get the iron in their body from environmental sources in the first place. 🦠⛓️

lolno. Unless you have serious gut issues the human body will break down animal tissue to get that iron no problem. That's vegan propaganda that it requires some heroic effort to get nutrients from meat, using examples of people with digestive defects and trying to extrapolate that to the general population.

Plant-based sources require the additional help (like additional acids, long cook times, or milling for grains) because the human digestive system doesn't handle cellulose well, and more of said source is required due to the lack of concentration. Animals concentrate those trace elements into their tissues, hence no effective plant-based dietary source of B-12.

Vitamin C isn't strictly necessary to help absorption. Any acid will do (which is why the nail-in-wine thing works, wine is slightly acidic) but Vitamin C - Ascorbic acid - is usually easy to obtain and is essential for the human body to produce collagen (plus a few other reasons) so Vitamin C/Citric Acid is the recommended acid.

I was expecting more teasing/fanservice of the couple but it just ended and now I wait for more.

But it really would be funnier if they did get pregnant before the ceremony lmao

 

[GambierBay]

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

I suspect she wasn't a doctor. It's just that she took a school health class and that usually carries the basics behind nutrition and whatnot. So what she would consider basic stuff kids learn in school is revolutionary stuff in the world/time period she lives in now.

And yeah, I agree that she's a reincarnator cause she said he looked like someone she clearly knew and seemed attracted to in her past life.

 

[Mah_Buddy_Keith]

Did she perhaps meet Truck-kun in the past?

The King's Chariot can't be stopped!

 

[DarekaNa]

Hmmmmmm.... A transmigrator? I've read a similar manga, too bad it hasn't been updated yet

 

[Jstar338]

Did she perhaps meet Truck-kun in the past?

Maybe? She recognized MC and called him by a clearly Japanese name

Arming swords weigh like 800g (that's under 2lbs). Longswords (125-135cm length) weigh ~1,5kg (a bit over 3lbs).
They use leverage and the kinetic chain of the body. Big muscles help, sure. But they don't bypass skill.

I never disagreed with this, though…? Not sure why you appear to think otherwise. And yes, I'll grant you that sword-play is no-where near as dependent on musculature as unarmed forms of combat.

Also oly fencing weapons can easily kill if sharp, an epee is basically a smallsword which was super deadly.

Not to down-play your point of view, but it seems to me like you're thinking of opponents that are solely unarmoured humans. The reason I explicitly mentioned monsters with a thick hide is to illustrate a need for heavier thrusting weapons whose attacks need commitment. There's a reason that estocs were developed instead of pointed sticks.

I'm also fairly puzzled that you should mention the épée specifically. Olympic fencing in general, and épée fencing in particular, are not meant to emulate combat, but rather a duel to the first blood. The épée needs merely a light touch to score a point, whereas the foil and sabre at least need the contact to have a slightly longer duration.

Far be it from me to denigrate Olympic fencing –there are two reasons why I deeply respect it, detailed at the end of this post– but you'll have to agree that, whenever it's had to choose between becoming more combat-like or more sport-like, it's consistently chosen the latter. I'm not even talking about how they don't need to navigate 2-D space, or about how everything stops if one lightly pushes the other, or about how they permit the usage of arbitrarily-light swords, or how you can't switch hands on your weapon, or how it's explicitly permitted to bend your sword to reach the opponent more easily; I'm talking about things like foil losing the point if you move your shoulders wrongly or sabre losing the point if you lunge with your back foot.

And oly fencers can destroy most HEMA fighters (using historical weapons like sword/rapier obviously) thanks to their speed, too. What use are the muscles if you've already been poked through?

So… you're saying that Olympic fencers make superior HEMA players than HEMA practitioners themselves do? Forgive me for being skeptical.

My point of view is that each sword was created with specific circumstances in mind; circumstances that must be taken into account when evaluating them, and (for this discussion specifically) circumstances that must be compared and contrasted to the ones detailed in this fictional piece. Let me remind you that the etymology of the word “rapier” itself is denigrating, as it means “dress sword”—after all, it was used much more commonly in society than in the battlefield.

As for your rhetorical question, let me answer it with one of my own: If your wrist is poked through shortly before you bisect your opponent, who has lost, really?

---

So far as I can tell, the benefits that physical strength gives to sword-fighting are not direct, but they are nonetheless important. Things like wielding a larger sword if one's speed doesn't suffer, or if holding the handle nearer the pommel to gain reach and momentum, or even using a two-handed weapon with one hand to free one's other hand for other uses.

PS: The main two reasons why I respect Olympic fencing are as follows:

1. Learning to accurately control the tip of one's sword is very important, and Olympic fencing is the best at practicing that
2. Even if the techniques themselves were useless, Olympic fencing would have my deep respect for another reason: When it comes to equipment safety, they don't fuck around. I've personally tested a kitchen knife against a mask's bib, and the bib wasn't even scratched.

 

[booterror]

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

Or a huge health nerd. Always remember the wise words of Doc from 'Red vs Blue': "Well, a doctor cures people. A medic just makes them more comfortable while they die."

 

[theOOFman]

He low-key cute ngl, if my bro looked like that and we just got some downtime after a battle... I don't even need to say it. But it could be a tomboy in disguise who knows

 

[Xerlith]

Not to down-play your point of view, but it seems to me like you're thinking of opponents that are solely unarmoured humans. The reason I explicitly mentioned monsters with a thick hide is to illustrate a need for heavier thrusting weapons whose attacks need commitment.

Well, I brought receipts.

Here's a still from a video of a rapier lunge penetrating a 350N jacket, the fencer's bicep, and bruising their chest. A blunt-tipped weapon.

We've seen 800N materials (the "thick hide") be penetrated with thrusts, too. It's not about the blade being heavier, it's about being thinner usually. And stiffer. The force does not come from the blade's weight, but from the body structure. Here the guys lunged into each other. See how the guy's in black rapier bends to disperse force? That's how fencing safety works. Because, well, see how the guy's in green rapier just stays stiff? The force transferred into the jacket and tore into it.

I mentioned Olympic weapons because Oly fencing has a larger kill count than HEMA has. And Epee specifically is the larger, heavier weapon, one that is closer to the smallsword in blade characteristic. No idea why you'd say epee is the worst. Epee needs only a slight touch because that'd've been a killing blow.

So a really thick hide would be needed, indeed. And if we're talking fantasy beast hides, then we're talking fantasy materials, so that might very well be offset depending on the author's whims.

I'll refer to your Oly fencer tip control respect here, too - why penetrate thick hide at all, if you can aim for soft fleshy parts? That tip control used to pierce a weak spot would deal infinitely more damage than a bunch of heavy hits into a thick hide.

So… you're saying that Olympic fencers make superior HEMA players than HEMA practitioners themselves do? Forgive me for being skeptical.

It so happens my country is the home of a chunk of the top 1% HEMA fencers. Some of them are in my club even. They're quite open about olympic fencers having way better footwork than HEMA fencers. Many of the guys have Oly fencing background (or have gotten themselves certified as olympic fencing instructors) themselves. We steal drills from Olympic fencers for a reason. Distance management and explosive footwork are like the 90% of a successful bout. Be sceptical all you want, but those are facts.

As for your rhetorical question, let me answer it with one of my own: If your wrist is poked through shortly before you bisect your opponent, who has lost, really?

If your wrist is poked through, you're not bisecting anyone or anything. Those things stop you immediately. A disabled wrist is a disabled hand, and a disabled hand stops the entire force generation of a strike. Not to mention the shock. People get stopped in their track by handsnipes through longsword clamshell gloves. Bare flesh? Yea that hand is dead weight now. Refer to the video above, it's easy to find. I also remembered this vid, the guy doesn't even hit with the edge aligned.

Things like wielding a larger sword if one's speed doesn't suffer, or if holding the handle nearer the pommel to gain reach, or even using a two-handed weapon with one hand to free one's other hand for other uses.

Eeeeh. Using a weapon one-handed is more about its length/balance and leverage than strength, because we're still limited by physics. See here.

 

[Grishnag]

Genuine question, where is the "cuteness" of the girl? Cute is not one of the things I'd be calling her, pretty or beautiful or refined is something I'd be more inclined to call her.

 

[harryhansy001]

"Put old nails in wine and drink that"

Yeah, I'll just have anemia, thanks.

Or just cook your food in a iron vessel. Anything works if it seems some iron particles in food.

 

[Psychronia]

Drinking an old nail? I...guess that's one way to get iron. Kinda sounds grosser than any sort of fish or meat though.

I also have iron deficiencies. It's a pain eating those specific foods, even when I love meat.

She's definitely a reincarnator, right?

 

[Haydrion101]

At first I thought Vandel was just a pretty boy, but then I saw those childbearing hips later in the chapter!

I've seen feminine guys with similar hips tbf. It's very attractive even then. (I may be biased.)

 

[blackLuna]

I don't know about the European diet at that time but I'm pretty sure a vegan lifestyle is possible in Asia in the medieval times. She did state a few green foods that can help with the iron deficiency which are pretty commonly found in Asian cuisine.

I think you mean vegetarian diet.

A vegan lifestyle would also mean not ridding horses, wearing or using leather or wool, and so on. Prior to modern synthetics and technology, that was impossible unless you were cloistered (or never travelled far outside populated areas) and lived in select areas whose climate allows for thinner clothing and footwear. For Europe and most of Asia, a vegan lifestyle was outright deadly (and is still a major health risk — humans are naturally omnivores, so vegans need to take even more supplements than vegetarians to avoid such problems).

Also, eggs and dairy are never mentioned in this exchange: an East Asian diet would definitely include eggs, while the diets of Europe and Western Asia would have both.

And yes, a vegetarian diet was plenty possible in the actual European Middle Ages, and was used by some hermits and ascetics. It was also a typical Lenten diet (and remains so for many Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Christians).

That being said, almost none of these series' settings are based on the actual European Middle Ages (least of all, aesthetically) — so be wary when comparing most series to any "real-life" counterpart, this story included. Or at least grab a whole fist-full of salt.

 

[UncleKaos]

My friend does suffer from this. he did tell me that he did faint at work and ended in the hospital because of extreme iron deficiency anemia.. he barely got ANY oxygen in his body. He couldn't breath, stay awaked and did move around like a zombie. he only wanted to rest and sleep all the time. Now he is eating more iron rich food, iron pills and B12 vitamins.

So yes. not limited to women indeed.

I mean the author tend to go with the rose tinted European theme so I bet there's some holes in their adaptation in European culture for this kind of series. It is true that there are some that actually do their research to fill up what are missing but if they did, there won't be much fantasy story to inject in.

It's a comedy series anyway so the salt is already there.

 

[colorlesseatstomboys]

So confirmed reincarnator.
She recognized MC when it was her first time meeting him, knew about a whale, and has more than the average medical knowledge compared to this world.
