--- How did this happen?
It's just that other people are different.
And yet, they call me a monster, or they say it's valuable as a commodity.
It's okay. I'm sure you'll find someone who can take care of the viola.
We may not know yet.Still, someday I'm sure...... ”
My father and mother say that, but they don't know how I feel.
Because they don't look like me, they're beautiful and cool.
Blood is connected to the same race.
Of course, there are ways to improve your appearance.
It's about raising the level.
Raising a level means raising its status as an organism.
That's why I'm turning into an excellent body as an organism... "
It could be strength or appearance.
From genetics, everything changes.
Literally, it's going to level up as a species.
My parents have traveled a lot as adventurers, so they naturally fight monsters and level up in the process.
And after travelling with those two, I had a chance to raise my level.
--But nothing changed.
Fathers say it's a tribal trait, but why are they so beautiful?
Why am I so ugly?
Even though I am me, people around me determine my worth.
After all, I can't live a normal life.
I have no choice but to be held hostage to the standards of the world.
"Nh...?"
Protecting the girl who had fallen in [Great Demon Realm], I felt a sign that the girl would wake up.
Ah, are you okay?
When I immediately spoke to the girl who woke up while preparing water and [Fully Healed Grass Juice], the girl showed a blurry look for a moment, but she immediately looked at me with vigilance.
"Ah!?"
"Don't be alarmed... it may be difficult to say, but I'm not an enemy..."
Raise your hands as you set aside the juice to show that you are not hostile.
Then the girl looked around, wary of me.
"Home...?!... yes, I..."
"Hmm? Oh, I think I woke up."
Then, when she noticed the sign of the girl, Sky Night appeared gently.
The girl stared at Sky Night with a stunned expression, and her gaze continued to her feet.
"Ciaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Haunted EEEEEEE!?"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!? Haunted yeah, yeah, yeah!?"
In response to the girl's words, Sky Night also began to look around in a hurry.
"Um... Sky Night. I thought it was you...."
"Ha!? Speaking of which, I'm dying!?"
"I don't know, it's really light in response to a dead person...""I think I misunderstood that it was such a surprise..."
Even though I was supposed to be dealing with monsters as a witchdoctor in the first place, I think the way I was surprised by the ghosts was really abnormal.
"Um... well, leave this guy alone..."
"Why are you so calm when the haunts are normal!?"
"This man is safe."
It's not safe for a haunted person!
Is that so?
Well, it's true that even in Japan, the image of a haunted person is nothing but scary.
"Anyway! You fell in the woods, so I brought you here for now."
The girl who heard me peeped sharply when she showed a little thought.
"... what are you aiming for?"
Huh?
"You're after money anyway, aren't you?"Right, this ugly woman has no use other than selling it out, right?Because I can't do lust with my opponent.I'm sorry to hear that. If it was a better woman, there would be other uses. "
"Um......"
I don't know what you're talking about, but the content of the words is not moderate, such as how you spend your money.
Well, according to Sky Night's guess, this girl would have been caught by a slave dealer, so I guess I had no choice but to be like this.
"I'm not trying to harm you."I don't think I can suddenly trust a stranger... but I just saved you because you fell in the woods. "
……
Staring straight into the girl's eyes and saying so, the girl opened her eyes in a slight surprise.
When I straightened out my feelings, I remembered something I had to do when the girl woke up.
"Ah, yes! I'm so, so sorry!"
Huh?
The girl was surprised that I suddenly lowered her head.
"Um... actually, when I found you, I was weak, so I used the [Fully Healed Grass Juice] that I had prepared here."I can cure any injury with this... but your skin was still green, so I was wondering what was wrong with it.Then... you were a different race than the humans.I decided it was a bad thing without even knowing it... so I'm really sorry "
I would have actually seen a species that I had never seen before on Earth, but it was completely out of my mind.
Then, the girl who heard my words opened her mouth with an increasingly puzzled look.
"Eh... me, isn't this disgusting...?"
"Huh? That's right. Since it was a characteristic that no one like me had, I decided that I was in a bad physical condition on my own... but if that's not the case, then nothing..."
We're not human, we're just like the people with the animals' ears and tails.
If there are aliens, they might be surprised to see humans.
Like hair or something unusual?
But the girl shook her head in disbelief.
"Ugh, I'm lying! It's not just this skin.Even though you're so fat and ugly... you don't think anything of it!? "
……
I've been in terrible trouble with my looks, so I know how a girl feels.
I think the girl in front of me is definitely more plump than the average woman you see in Japan.
But that's all.
Even if you think that your face is beautiful as a personal sensibility, you don't deny it because it doesn't apply to you.
Not to mention against strangers.
I think I need a sense of cleanliness to keep people from getting uncomfortable... but no matter how clean I was, I got beaten and kicked every day, and it was quickly dirty and full of scratches.
I just don't think I can believe how much I've said that.
That's what I am.
Instead of ignoring other people's words, it's already staining my body.
I'm ugly.
So no matter what I say, I can't believe it, and it's hard to change.
The longer that period, the more...
I don't know anything about you.
Huh?
"I don't know who you are or what life you've led."That's why you in front of me are just the woman I fell in the woods.I just wanted to help. "
If we exchange words and know each other, personal likes and dislikes may appear, but at least not now.
If I stay here for the time being, I won't be able to rest, so let's get out of here.
Thinking so, I got up and moved to the door, and the girl stopped me.
Hey, hey!
Yes?
"... why did you apologize?"
Huh?
"Because if you shut up, I wouldn't have known... but why?"
"That's... oh, I see. Self-satisfaction....."
Huh?
When the girl pointed me out, I realized once again that my actions were selfish.
"I'm sorry. I did apologize for the prejudice, but on the contrary, I'm going to tell you that I was aiming for something that wasn't very pleasant, so I hate it... you're right, I didn't have to feel that way if I stayed silent... I'm sorry I put my emotions first unilaterally without thinking about it."
……
A girl with a stupid expression in my mouth.
No, this explanation is also my priority in the end... and it's going to be impeccable if I keep it that way.
I don't understand why I apologize.
"Oh, I've got something to drink here, so if you need anything, just let me know."
While dumbfounded by his words, he told the girl that he was leaving the room.
