Translating a copy of anything was hard, but translating an actual magical language was even harder. It was hard enough with just Sarah working at it, but she insisted on teaching me the language which slowed the process by a lot.
Ruth was helping by taking care of Loki while we worked and once in every few hours one of us went to check on them.
So far I could read extremely simple sentences and some singular words. Whenever Sarah left I would reread the note that Mori attached to see if we were reading it right.

To whoever is reading this:
If anyone were to open this and not be a monster or a resistance member, destroy it. If you are a monster or resistance member, see that it makes it to either a queen or Y/N L/N, he might not know the language but he is resourceful. I only ask for one thing in return for getting this book to them, when they translate the page, I would like to know what the satyros section says.

I banged my head on the table and let out a groan. I felt a fluffy hand that was roughly the size of mine on my back and sat up.
"What are you working on?" Dawn asked.
"I'm working with Sarah to translate the original copy of the monster girl encyclopedia" I answered.
Dawn looked at the paper I was writing on.
"Are these magic runes? My entire prison block knew basic runes in order to communicate in a way that couldn't be translated. I don't know half of these though." Dawn stated.

"Wait... how did you learn?" I asked.

"Back in the early days of the monster soldier project, various individuals were allowed to buy monsters in order to train them. One man came in and I thought he was just a pervert looking to take advantage of our natural biology. Once the order left us alone he began to talk to me. Our visits were between 20 and 30 minutes as he visited every girl in my prison block. Eventually he gained the trust of most of us and the order allowed him to control our bonds. The man, however, had to flee after a soldier walked in on him petting a werewolf's ears and showing affection rather than showing blind rage. Rumor is that he escaped but we can never know for a fact." Dawn explained.

Sarah walked into the room and yawned.
"What's going on?" She asked.

Dawn repeated what she just told me and her jaw hit the floor.
"Only one human has been able to teach that language, and coincidentally the same human is the only human who is able to gain the trust of any monster so quickly without getting raped." Sarah began. "But that's impossible... the wondering scholar dropped off the face of the earth in 1944. Everyone assumed he died in a concentration camp but a body was never located nor had anyone seen him. He was fifty-two then and the monster soldier project started in 2025. He would be the oldest human on record! This has to be impossible." Sarah exclaimed.
Dawn shrugged.
"Maybe he became an incubus." Dawn suggested.
"The closest thing he had to a wife was a Leanan Sidhe, nothing would think of attacking, let alone corrupting, him." Sarah argued.
"I don't know why we're arguing about this, why not just ask your mother?" I asked.
Sarah sighed. "That is a fair point."

We found the demon queen relentlessly teasing a man who looked no older than twenty, I couldn't hear much of what she was saying because most of it was whispers, however based on what I could hear I could see why the man was blushing mess.

"Mom, we need to talk about something." Sarah said as if this wasn't at all awkward.

"What do you need?" She asked as if this was a casual conversation.

"Do you know the fate of the Leanan Sidhe that assisted the wandering scholar?" She asked.

The queen stopped moving and shifted her position to hug the man closer to her. Just the name alone made her tense up.
