Nine days of frenzied writing in his scarce free time had resulted in a notebook filled with detailed diagrams and meticulous explanations.
Ren smiled as he handed "Ecology, Characteristics, Abilities, and Cultivation Techniques for Digger Beetles" to Taro, his mushrooms pulsing with quiet pride.
"I want you to be the first to read it," he said while his mushrooms pulsed softly. "Though it's not entirely complete."
Taro flipped through the pages with reverence, his eyes widening with each diagram he found. There was information about tunnel patterns, living crystal composition, fortification techniques... things he hadn't even known his beast could do. Each page seemed to hold another revelation.
"Not complete?" he asked without taking his eyes off the book. "There's enough information here to take a good while reading."
