User blog:Bigbr/Diary 3 - Crow Tengu's Husband's Diary

You are bartering with the merchant for the books. Although you don’t have much money, you have something else: mermaid’s blood. Because you collect the diary of monsters and their husbands, it isn’t hard for you to get the merrow’s blood. Since it is rare commodities in the human settlement, you get a good deal. After putting books in your magic backpack, you leave the market. Since it is hot day, you decide to stay in the city till it cools down a bit. You enter one of the nice inn, and order a ale and a snack to eat. While waiting, you open up one of the book you bought.

Sky is quite clear in this town. Around the city, sometime sky gets cloudy or murky because of all the smoke people have been making. In this town, I can finally do my research. Although getting enough candle so I can write down at the night is pain. However, as an astronomer clear sky is crucial for the research. ]

My research has been going well. Thanks to clear sky, I can see those stars really easily. Although I do miss the nice food from the city… Recently one thing has been bothering me. If I look carefully, sometime I find something flying around at night. I thought it was a harpy, but as far as I know, there are no suitable places for harpy to breed around this area. I wonder….]

Yesterday, I finally found my answer for my question. It was a Crow Tengu who was flying around the city at night. I was observing stars with my telescope as usual, but something blocked my view. It was Crow Tengu herself, and was here to question about me. I stumbled, because I was surprised. As far as I know harpies are… well, not well mannered. However this Tengu was well mannered and seemed very intellectual. After hearing my name and bit of my history, she thanked me and flew away. It seems like she is keeping the record of this entire town.]

She comes to the town at night to observe the people and study the town. I am always on my roof to study the stars at night. She visits me from time to time because I am right there. So we became a friend, naturally. Sometimes I bring sake to my study to keep me warm during the cold night. When she came over, I offered some and she took it. Next night she brought some fruits and fishes from her mountain as thank you gift. This friendship was unexpected but welcomed. I am actually really happy that I moved to here.]

Other non-astrology notes are mostly about what snacks and sake he brought at the night, and what tengu brought from her mountain. There is one note that is written with the brush and ink, not the usual pen and ink the researcher uses. This catch your interest and you read it.

I would love to use a pen, but I am not in my house. In fact, I am not near the town. I am in Tengu’s house, in the deep mountain. It is quite interesting how I got here. I brought my sake and snacks as usual, and was observing the stars as usual, waiting for Tengu to show up. However, last night she visited my house way earlier than the usual. Before I could say or ask anything, she snatched me up and flew away. After I arrived at her house, I was able to learn that she was in heat. Well, I wasn’t sure how to do. I don’t have anything against the monster girls but don’t want to have a relationship without giving a good thinking about it. However, she was already in heat, and I could see she was slowly losing to her natural instinct. That intellectual tengu was speechless and rubbing her body all over me. Before I could make any decision, she dragged me to her room and…. let’s say we took care of the business. Now to come to think of it, I think this relationship might work. We both work at night and prefer intellectual and well mannered partner.]

When you are about half way through, the waitress brings you the ale and the dried fruits you ordered. You put away the book, for the next time.
