Hello Vilous Fans!

We are happy to announce that the Manga will resume its course, with Episode 4 starting up on the 3rd of February. Mick and the Team will be working to prepare for it’s debut, thus there will be no Friday Intermission art.

In the meantime, we would like to present the follow up to last month’s QA session, featuring the Survey Results alongside in-character responses to all of your questions~!

As of January 22nd 2018, there have been 124 votes in total, placing Ged at #1, followed up close in second place by none other than Rain Silves herself, and surprisingly Giten taking the third place, with Yip and Yap occupying the fourth!

It seems The Dark Clouds of the Shigu chapter was a hit with fans, given the overwhelming adulation for Ged. Rain Silves occupying a place up top is no surprise. Even though she has only appeared for a scant few panels at best in the chapter itself, her reputation precedes her.

Giten’s popularity is surprising, but welcome! It seems the Master Butcher of Gold Ring has quite a bit of a charm among his crotchety old mannerism.

And last but not least, our dear Northern klutzes, Yip and Yap. They have enjoyed a very loving and supporting — though posthumuously — following. Though they are no longer with us, their spirits live on, delightfully yipping, yapping, and yiiighing away.

Q&A Session - Ask The Characters!

 korvre asks Giten: How did you become the master butcher? What lead you into the life of meat carving?

Giten: A master should never reveal all of his trade secrets willingly, especially in such a competitive enterprise such as butchery. It’s been in the family for generations and I’ve inherited quite a few techniques that the… young upstarts of today have yet to even consider or refine. Thank you for your question, young lad!

 blucandy asks the eltus children: What games do you all enjoy the most with your friends?

Bakku: I enjoy collecting stickers and cards. Sometimes eating out with friends.
Mabu: I’m better at eating~!
Ogi: Getting eaten... *Snicker*
The kids laugh.
Elica: Kickball is nice too~!
“Yes, yes~!” They all say in unison.

 Aquilak asks Yip and Yap: Are you brothers?

Yip and Yap look at each other, nod and yiiigh together.

 Snergal asks Yip and Yap: What are your given names?

Yip and Yap stare in confusion, one scratches his head whilst the other catches sight of a bird and peers his head after it, bumping his snout into the other, causing them to squabble with each other.

 Aquilak asks Ged: Who raised you to become such a brave risk taker?!

Ged: “Brave? Well... I was just doing what I could to protect my best friend Bakku. I didn't even think about being brave!"

 Bandrik asks Ogi: How do you see if your eyes are always closed?

Ogi: “How do dondokos see if they don’t have ANY eyes?! Hmm!?”

 EllPwnageNighthawk44 asks Giten: Where did you learn your combat skills when you were fighting the Actinia?

Giten: “When you’re a human as old as I am, throughout your life you will acquire a certain set of skills necessary to survive. Let’s put it this way: I know my way around cuts of meat~”

 Landyman01 asks Ged: What was your adventures when you were younger before you met Bakku?

Ged: “I.. I don’t remember much to be honest. I’ve known Bakku almost all my life, so I didn’t really do adventures. Just regular stuff. Playing outdoors with the local kids, staying up later than I should… nothing too special.”

 Landyman01 asks Kadd: What was your adventures when you were Younger before you joined the ranks?

Kadd: “Oh, I have so many stories... I wouldn't even know where to begin! Even when I was younger, I was well known back in Tesae for my skill at hunting. Perhaps not as famous as I am now, but there was this one time when I encountered a pack of huge dondokos…”

 EllPwnageNighthawk44 asks Rain: Can you recall any memorable experiences, events or moments during the world war?

Rain Silves: “I’ve only just begun, but I can say this: some screams do echo more pleasantly than others. I wonder how yours would sound…?”

 Htess1 asks Rain: What was the most significant trophy that you have in your position?

Rain Silves: “Trophies are like toys. They sit on shelves, sometimes you play with them, sometimes they break. They never last… Jakk is a very nice boy, however.”

 cheatscom asks Ged: Do you search for action and adventure or has your life always been this eventful?

Ged: “Uhm.. I don’t know. Things just happen..! Sometimes it can be thrilling to guess what is around the corner. But other than that, no. I would rather stay out of harm’s way and know that my friends are safe.”

 cheatscom asks Yip and yap: How can you tell who is who, has anything ever happened of people confusing the two of you?

Yip: “Sometimes.”
Yap: “Many times.”
Yip and Yap: “All the time~! Yiiigh!”

 curiosus asks Bakku: Sometimes you think of Ged? and you miss him?... and you still hope to see him again one day?

Bakku: “I do think of him, yes. I hope I’ll get to see him again sometime. I’ve written him letters now and then, sent by caravan.. I’m not sure if he ever got them..”


And that concludes our trial QA session for now. We hope you’ve enjoyed so far!
