Chapter 205 Ugly as a Pig
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
Upon arriving in the elf nation of Lukurusa Theocracy, I passed through border control and entered the capital, Aria-done.
This theocracy allowed entry only to nobles who could guarantee payment; anyone else was regarded as a criminal by default.
I had been thrilled at the prospect of seeing a land filled with beautiful elves—but reality hit hard…
”Hahaha! Look at this guy! His face is flat and ugly like a pig!”
”Giggling! It’s true! Hey, flat-face! How do you even see ahead with that mug? Don’t run into a tree!”
I had been brutally discriminated against purely for my appearance. Still, I tried to keep my spirits up as I walked through the forest city. Peering from hollowed-out trees, elven children peeked out—an undeniably cute sight.
Yet the moment they saw me, they twisted their eyes and flared their noses into pig-like gestures. Clearly, future bigots in the making!
At the inn, the reception was no better.
”You, outsider? Sorry, but we don’t let humans stay here. Go to a human-only inn…”
”Hey! Don’t pee around here, inferior species!”
The locals were astonishingly exclusive and unwelcoming. Prices were absurdly inflated—sometimes tripled! Disillusionment set in. Terrible people… I longed to return to Keldan.
The city itself, however, was a wonder: buildings carved from massive trees and giant mushrooms, a fantasy come to life.
Still, the elves mocked my features: narrow, upturned eyes; a low nose; a round facial contour; underdeveloped jaw; and small stature.
Yet, despite their discrimination, their culinary skills were impressive. Acorn biscuits and roasted acorn coffee were exquisite! The elves’ food culture clearly surpassed that of humans.
(As a side note, to maintain appearances for my study of theology here, I donned ceremonial robes and a mitre to interact with the bishop—my reason for being in Lukurusa officially.)
The clergy themselves, plagued by indulgence and poor habits, were far heavier and rounder than I had ever been. Struck by irony, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of shock—these supposedly holy men were far more “pig-like” than I had ever been accused of being.
