#Touch My Younger Brother and You’re All Dead — A Collection of Trivia No One Asked For
– Editorial Department

【Meaning Behind the Pen Name ‘Morpho’】

I chose this nickname with the lifelong desire to sip honey.

※The Morpho butterfly is a collective term for butterflies belonging to the genus Morpho in the family Nymphalidae. Most are found in South America, Central America, and Mexico.
‘Morpho’ means ‘to change’ or ‘to transform,’ derived from the phenomenon where the butterfly’s wing colors shift brilliantly depending on the angle of light.

【How Long Will Theodore’s Unrequited Love Continue?】

He thinks, “Why doesn’t she marry me when she clearly loves me?” and walks down the wedding aisle,
then later thinks, “Why does she care so devotedly for my wife and children when she loves me?”
At seventy years old, his one-sided love for her shows no signs of cooling—a truly exasperating man.
His character is absolutely killing.
I suspect his misunderstanding will never be resolved in his lifetime.

【From the Scene Where Lucilucil Arrives】

If I were to be with Lucilucil, there was only one form I desired. Everything else was unnecessary.
“I don’t wish to become Lucilucil’s possession. I wish to possess Lucilucil.”

I wrote it myself, but Rosalite really is trash. In the side story, you can witness Rosalite kneeling before Glen because of this. I’m looking forward to it.

【Epilogue Preview】

In a perverse setting and situation, that certain something
in the bedroom of the Hofen Territory’s Baron Hofen, who produced Glen,
Rosalite pins Glen down and seals his lips.
Coming soon.

※Before submitting the epilogue manuscript, the author gave this advance notice to the editorial team. And Morpho is truly a person of integrity.

【Character Secret Settings Revealed】

Asterion Rocksburg
Silver hair, purple eyes.
He’s a harmless puppy in front of Rosalite, but in front of anyone else, he’s a viper incarnate.

Aster Brown
Brown hair, brown eyes.
He’s perfectly fine on his own, but when he’s with Rosalite, he tends to outsource his intelligence to her.

Jack Brown
Brown hair, brown eyes.
Fundamentally sensitive to cleanliness with obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and pathologically despises breathing the same air as people he dislikes. The primary reason he wears a gas mask is to avoid inhaling Aster’s exhaled breath. He carries numerous concealed weapons beneath his uniform.

Will Brown
The only one with black hair and black eyes.
He still agonizes tremendously over whether he might be an adopted child.
Moreover, when he observes his brothers, they’re all larger and taller than him, and their names begin with the letters J, J, J, Q, K in order—if you remove him, it’s a perfect trump card sequence.
On top of that, there’s another suspicious matter: his brothers, parents, and even their temperaments all exhibit canine tendencies of seeking their masters, but he alone possesses feline traits, brooding in solitude like Snufkin. Will carries the conviction that he must be an adopted child, spending every day contemplating the mystery of his own birth.
Of course, he is the biological son of William and Anna Brown, and his appearance and personality are simply recessive traits. His grandfather was exactly like this.

Sage Oswald
Excessively bleached, dry blonde hair and crimson eyes.
Surprisingly, he’s lawful-aligned.

Theodore Alein
Blonde hair, blue eyes.
The most handsome.

Marius Aidemock Largol
Pearl-colored hair, blue eyes.
He adores his older brother, but his older brother won’t play with him. And his older brother….

+From here on, the author’s turn

At the Magic Tower, mages wear shawls of different colors depending on their circle. From the 1st Circle onwards: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. Serena doesn’t wear a shawl because she is a transcendent of something.

The author has an external memory storage device. This person is one year younger than me and goes by the name B.
B knows everything I don’t, and I tend to forget trivial details about characters in the story—their ages, eye colors, hair colors, and such. When this happens, I contact B to ask what kind of person they were. If I can’t reach B, then you can assume any character appearing in that day’s manuscript is a fabrication by the author.
Marius’s hair being black one moment and white the next, Lucius’s age fluctuating—all of it is B’s fault. Not mine. If B had just answered my calls properly, these mishaps wouldn’t have happened. It’s entirely B’s fault.

The woman who made it to the finals of the Rocksburg Beauty Pageant alongside Jack Brown and Asterion was Cerepia, a pseudo-Amazon and daughter of a chieftain from a small nation. She belongs to the same tribe from which Rosalite learned the dance of combat in a previous chapter.
Most of this tribe’s population is female, and upon reaching adulthood, they travel in search of genes that don’t carry a lethal trait. They call this journey “seed-pouch hunting.”
Yes, this woman stared at Jack with piercing intensity, wondering if he might make a good seed-pouch for her, and was watching for any opportunity to strike.
I wanted to explore this episode separately, but at the time I was receiving complaints about slow story pacing, so I set it aside thinking I’d write it later as a side story. When it came time to actually write it, I questioned whether it was even necessary, and so it became a buried episode.
As a result, due to the absence of the pseudo-Amazon searching for a seed-pouch, the woman in the Beauty Pageant finals became a MacGuffin. But that’s the backstory behind it all.
I even inquired on Kakao Page whether I could use the term “seed-pouch,” but unfortunately it didn’t work out.

There’s another episode that should have branched off from the Beauty Pageant but vanished into darkness.
During the Beauty Pageant, there was an incident where someone drew a slip of paper labeled “National Treasure” and brought the Duke. This was meant to be setup for the mysterious thief X who frequents Rocksburg to discover what precious treasure exists in the Mansion. At that point, I intended for the thief to kidnap Eddie, and for the Mother to appear upon sensing Eddie’s danger. But again, this episode was cut for the sake of faster pacing.

The number of times the author apologized to the editorial department during serialization is approximately 180, I’ve written two late submission explanations, one reflection essay, and 43 emails that began with “Hello, I’m garbage.”

Actually, the section where work happens in the bedroom had far more content than what remained. It all got filtered down to this much after passing through the all-ages rating barrier.

Let me reveal the secrets of the side stories, selecting only those without copyright issues:

Asterion’s side story “If I Were to Compare My Sister to a Summer’s Day”
: Taken from Shakespeare’s Sonnet 18.

Glen’s side story “Even If I Fill My Life with Tears”
: It’s a song by Na Hun-a. The song is really good.

Lucilucil’s side story “Waiting for RozRoz”
: Taken from Samuel Beckett’s play “Waiting for Godot.” In the work, Didi and Gogo wait for Godot. Godot’s identity is unknown and is left to the interpretation of readers and audiences. Godot could be an omnipotent being, a savior, or a meaningless entity.

Serena’s side story “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”
: A musical composition by Mozart; the title “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” was given later. Mozart arranged a French folk song called “Ah! Vous dirai-je, maman” after his mother’s death. Though unrelated, Maria’s full name—Theresia Constantia Adelheid Friederike Maria—is the name of Mozart’s eldest daughter.

Rosalite’s side story “still alive”
: Portal. Great game.
