Chapter 19-1
Ogres are monsters that typically live alone. Each one had a huge activity radius, almost like a territorial animal.
Furthermore, they had no sense of kinship, so if they happened to run into each other, they would fight to the death.
However, these solitary ogres gather together only once a year, during the mating season in autumn.
Strangely enough, male ogres do not have a mating season. Only females do.
During mating season, the female ogres in the heat become abnormally strong and their size increases by more than 30 percent. Their sexual desires also become incredibly vigorous, and their temperament becomes much more vicious.
So, when they encounter males, they beat them to near-death and forcibly mate with them. This was very gruesome.
During each mating season, the bodies of male ogres who were beaten to death or killed themselves out of shame were commonly found.
Therefore, during mating season, males would form groups of at least seven to eight individuals to survive. This was to prevent being killed by females.
“You know how crazy the females are right now, don’t you? It’s the time when males also form groups to survive. It’s too dangerous to attack ogres now.”
