The Legendary Rebuilding of a World by a Realist Demon King

Jeanne Learns to Read

As the rest of the commanders moved out and the soldiers rested, I saw a single girl sitting at the council table.

She looked bored as she sat there and leaned on her elbow.

I considered talking to her.

But if I did, she would probably expect me to amuse her for a while.

And yet I was rather busy and needed to rest as well.

And so I didn’t talk to her. At least, until I realized that she had been staring at Eve for quite some time.

She was looking at Eve’s book, and there was something like jealousy in her eyes.

It was only a dictionary, not the most compelling reading material.
