To find out what happened to my wife during the time of our divorce, I questioned all the humans and creatures who could have had contact with Medusa in order to understand her emotional changes and speculate on the potential effects of long-term interaction between humans and creatures.

The following excerpts are from the oral account of "Leya the Succubus":

"After you left, I stayed with your wife in the cave for a few days. She often seemed very sad, so I comforted her. I didn't know if you would come back, so it was difficult... One day she said she wanted to wear my clothes, so I helped her put them on. She looked happy. I thought it might make her feel a little better, so I helped her with her hair (she wanted braids, according to her words). It had been about five days since you left..."

"Then I took her to Night Fall Town to buy things that we Succubi like, um, I mean things we find enjoyable. We had dinner at a bar, and she had a good appetite, eating a lot of chicken... I was with her all the time, and gradually she stopped being sad. One night, we talked about you, all we wanted to know was if you could come back. Since I couldn't leave your wife alone and go find you, I said I would temporarily ignore you... She became sad again, but I didn't comfort her much, and she was okay again."

"Later, we talked about other things, including my memories with Clefairy. She asked me what love is. I couldn't really say, I was afraid of making her sad... In the end, we concluded that if she became more like a human woman, she would understand what love is. (To this, I refute: You already look very much like a human, so do you understand what love is?)"

"So we used all means to make her become more like a human, including dressing, behavior, eating, and living environment. That carpet of yours, we had someone in town sew it... She seemed to really enjoy the human way of life and no longer mentioned you to me. I felt somewhat relieved."

"I brought back food from town, and it would last for several days... Cooking? We don't know how, so we just ate pre-made food."

"On the day I saw you in Night Fall Town, I was planning to go back and live there. We didn't expect that you would be working at the bar, so we were surprised. She was in a very bad mood that day, but she didn't say anything to me... Later, she went to Night Fall Town on her own and asked me to help her catch a man. By that time, you had already left with Gray, and I thought you really wanted to leave her, so I didn't discourage her... Luckily, it took us two days to catch a man."

"After that, she lived with that man. I only knew that the man ran away several times... I didn't really ask her about her situation anymore, although sometimes she would ask me. As for food, since we decided to become more like humans, we would go to town to buy food and bring it back. She probably stopped hunting. Yeah, especially after you went to the kingdom, she went to town almost every day to buy food..."

"I taught her how to dress up, and I accompanied her to buy clothes and jewelry. Smoking was her own... "

"I'm not sure about magic, but she did stop using the bow and arrow for a long time. She felt that humans don't shoot arrows or fight like Medusa. I also agree with this sentiment. (To this, I add: You're also a fool.)"

"Is she treating that man well? How would I know?"

"That's about it... Then it was the day you came back. I knew you went to see your wife, and I was afraid that you two would do something dangerous, so I sent that blind Medusa back and rushed to your house. Then, um, that day you were a bit, how should I put it, not quite normal."

The following excerpt is from the oral account of "Simmon":

"Your wife, oh, she's good. (To this, I say: No need to be so polite.) Your wife came to the bar a week before you and Wolfrang came back. She wasn't wearing a black cloak, and we were all surprised because you weren't with her. Fortunately, Leya was there, so we didn't think much of it.""They ate a lot of food, well, mostly your wife ate a lot. Then they went shopping, I'm not sure what exactly they bought."

"She drank... well... not much, Leya usually has three drinks, so she probably had three too."

"When you and Wolfrang came back, we found out that you two had broken up, but I never thought about that before. Leya went to town to get food? I don't know because she rarely goes to the bar to eat. Maybe she bought it from the farmers?"

"On the day she met you at the bar, after you left she smashed a glass, I didn't tell you because I was afraid you... there was nothing else, she just smashed a glass. She was probably not in a good mood."

"The day after you and Gray went to the kingdom, she came to buy food. She really likes eating buns, well, they're called buns, right?"

"She had twenty of them and bought a lot to take home. What was she wearing? Oh right, I remember, she was always wearing dresses afterwards, the ones you brought back from the kingdom. And also formal dresses."

"While you were at the bar, did she come? Hmm... no, she didn't."

"Was she with other men? No, I've never seen her with anyone else."

"After you came back, you reconciled with her."

Excerpt from the narration by "Wolfrang":

(Before asking, I specifically said, 'Wolfrang, I've always treated you like a brother, so just tell me whatever it is.')

"No, Raul, it's like this. When she was at my place, I definitely didn't know what happened, right?"

"So we didn't go back? After that, you said you wanted to go to the kingdom, and Gray taught you lessons, right?"

"And then you met your wife, I wasn't at the bar that day, I was in the cow shed, and you even took my horse, Simmon told me all these things."

"Then... you went to the kingdom."

"After you left, she did come often, buying food and taking it away. The problem is, I didn't really talk to her."

"Other men? I've never seen any, she always came alone."

"You should ask Simmon or Leya about this... I'll tell you what I know."

Excerpt from the narration by "Park":

"Your wife? I've seen her a few times, couldn't tell if she was real or not. Looks just like a real person."

"Ah, sorry, sorry. (At this point I protested, 'Your wife is not a real person?')"

"I don't talk to your wife much, you know. But for a while, she and Leya were together all the time, and they got along well."

"Dressing table? I don't know, I haven't done that in a long time."

"I did sell two beds, but it wasn't your wife who bought them. Calina's family up north is a furniture store, I sold them to them."

"Hey, Raul, tell me, how did you two reconcile?"

Excerpt from the narration by the "Clothing Store Auntie":

"Medusa... ah yes, she has been here, several times. Every time she came with Leya, she bought a lot of expensive clothes. But she didn't talk much, Leya helped her choose."

"How much did she spend... I estimate it's over a hundred gold coins."

"You said it, your wife looks beautiful in anything~"

Excerpt from the narration by the "Jewelry Store guy":

"I remember, I remember, that's Mr. Raul's wife, right?"

"She and Leya came together to buy a lot of things, cosmetics and jewelry. Like this lamp, they bought one on their third visit. That's all."

"The usage of this lamp... well, you turn it on first, then light it up, and put it down, yes, that's it."

"Raul, when can you teach me how to ride a horse?" (It's not that I won't teach you, but you look too effeminate...)

Excerpt from the narration by the "Furniture Store Boss, Calina":

"Medusa and the succubus did come to buy furniture, a bed and a dressing table. They spent a total of fifty-five gold coins, I have it recorded here."

"Ah? That's your wife?!"

"No no, the way she dressed, it startled me. Do you know? After she put on makeup, she looked just like a human!"

"Uh... beautiful, beautiful. How could your wife not be beautiful..."
