Maou Gun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta

When I finished negotiating with the King of Dwarves, I literally took a breather.

He nailed the King's Alliance by crushing the 2nd legion, during which time he was dizzily busy negotiating, to Ismas assault across Rosalia, to Gunter rescue.

Honestly, I just wanted another one of my bodies.

"Could you ask the captain to make me another one?"

That'll halve the job.

That's what I said with the intention of joking, but Sati, the maid who was lying next to me, raises her hands and agrees.

"Be sure to do so"

Anything, then they won't have to spare me while I go to war.

"With that said, what's Satie doing while I'm away?

"I'm basically cleaning"

"That's what you do all the time."

"I'll do it with more in mind than usual"

He said, "I'm the only one living in this hall, so when I'm gone, they really won't have anything to do.

So they'll either clean it more carefully than usual, or they'll only be able to do it recently enough to stroke the stomach of a cat who's lived in the garden.

It's pathetic to be tasteless.

It is true that this other world is not the same as it was in previous life, with little entertainment, etc.

Naturally, there is no Internet or TV.

Theatre, crooks, etc. exist, but Ivaris is a small city, and it's a frontline city, so that's not how it comes.

It's just hard to imagine Sati going to go there, even if there was a theater in this city.

This girl is either humble or surprisingly ungreedy.

Assuming you go see it in theater, you give it money, you buy it as a gift for me, or you give it to the poor.

A girl named Satti was that kind of girl.

"... um, I have to make a hobby out of this girl."

I get to that idea.

In the future, I will have more chances of leaving Ivaris.

Each time Satti puts out the essence for cleaning, the dust (dust) may be swept out of this building.

In fact, this hall was unusually beautiful.

One piece of dust has not fallen.

Try to come close to the bookshelf and look at the end of the bookshelf with your finger.

It's like an imitation of a girl coming out of a Japanese TV drama, but she never gets dust on her fingers like a drama.

I mean, that's how carefully it's cleaned.

I'm not saying don't do the cleaning, but you won't have to do anything so far.

I have to think so.

"This bookshelf is just a book I read once in the first place. You can dispose of it."

"Will it be disposed of?

"... No, I don't think so"

Books are valuable in this world.

No such thing as print in print has been invented, so the only way to do this is to write one book at a time by hand, or the magician copies it with the magic of "Copy".

Thinking that way, Satti makes unexpected remarks.

"But Satie can't read books, but I love books"

"Does Satie like books?

"Yes."

"Right. Then why don't you read while I'm gone?"

"I can't do that"

And she runs out.

"Borrowing your husband's on your own is something you shouldn't do as a maid of honor. And..."

And she goes on.

"Satti likes books, but can't read the letters. It's pointless to borrow it."

"... I see Sati can't read the letters"

Well, I'm not sure about this otherworldly literacy situation, but at least there's nothing in this Everlise that I can call an educational institution.

Sorcerers and scholars open private schools and teach their children letters and simple calculations, but that would have limits.

Besides, Satti is a slave child.

I guess I don't even have that kind of minimal education.

"Why can't I read a book, by the way, but I like books"

"I like the smell of books. Plus, I feel like I'm smart just looking at the back cover of the book. And then there's the illustration when I occasionally pull the book apart, and I just lose track of time watching it. There's a painting of a land I've never been to, or a beautiful woman -"

Rarely do Sati's words stop.

I guess that means I'm interested in books.

Originally a smart daughter.

Maybe people are twice as exploratory.

I thought so. I decided to teach Satie some letters.

"Oh, can I?

She asks back, excitedly, sorry.

"Oh, now Lord Gunter is writing to Dwarves everywhere. It reaches the Dwarves, and we have a little time before they come to this city. Until then, I'll teach you the letters between my duties."

"Is it true!? Glad!"

I'm just glad I don't jump.

Satti is a daughter who doesn't put her emotions on the table. It's rare to get so expressive.

Watching that make me happy this way.

Says Satti.

"I want to read this book first when I can."

When she says so, she goes to the library and brings a lot of books with her hands.

He looks like a kid who got Santa a a present.

The first thing she spread was a cookbook.

"This is a recipe book for cooking, right?

"Yes."

"If you can read this, Ike, there will be plenty more types of dishes to make and give you. And you can make it even better."

It's still delicious enough, but she doesn't even have time to say it.

The next thing I opened was some adventurer's Oriental sight, a diary-style reading of a real person who existed about 100 years ago, about a man who ventured all the way to a country called the Seika, east of this continent.

"Oh, I read that, too. I don't know where it's true and where it's lying, but it was pretty funny."

Satti never even went outside Arsenum City until she met me.

Maybe I admire the adventures of this hand.

"Yes, Satie wants to try a guy called Adventure because he can do it once. I'd like to ride a horse to a strange land."

"You're acting unexpectedly. Like a girl, I thought I'd prefer romantic novels."

"I want to read that too. Anyway, Satie wants to read a glass of books."

Satti declared forcefully, but realizes that there is a book with sensual novels among the books she brings.

- It's what the previous lord left behind.

In the meantime, as keeping all the dangerous books in that hand hidden, I just decided to start teaching her the letters.

The letters in this world are complicated and strange.

Pronunciation and spelling (cont 'd) were often different, as in English, and grammatical deficiencies were noticeable.

The difficulty of acquiring may be more difficult than in Japanese.

"Well, still, isn't it better than Satie sparing time"

When I said that, I decided to teach from the simplest letters.

It's a word that hits' A 'when it comes to the alphabet and' A 'when it comes to Japanese.

Satie listens enthusiastically to my lecture.

It's about her smart.

In less than a year, a simple book would make it readable.

That's what I thought, but her wit was more than I expected.

- A month later, she came to me with a happy little run.

"Ike, Gunter taught me how to write letters."

Apparently she can now not just read, but even write letters.

She gives it to me.

It's a boring letter there, but it had proper words written on it.

"Oh, my goodness, I love you."

- I know it doesn't mean anything profound, but it was kind of a word that made this one embarrassing.

Anyway, at this rate, Satie would be a reader in less than six months.

It's a different world with little entertainment.

Luxury enough to read a book should also be tolerated by the maid.

With that in mind, I taught her letters while waiting for the Dwarves Gunter called to gather.
