Chapter 445 – Myth (1)
“How are you feeling?”
“…It doesn’t seem like anything has changed.”
In general, most of the elves were slim, but other than their muscles being somewhat shrunken, which may have been a racial characteristic, the only thing that changed externally was their elongated ears.
Well, really.
The only way to distinguish between humans and elves is their basic appearance and their elongated ears, which are so different that you would think they are of different races.
If you go internally, there are more differences in many ways, such as lifespan and mana sensitivity, but this is something that cannot be seen in a general way, so let’s skip it.
Well, anyway.
This operation, in which Carmina and I transformed into elves and infiltrated, was none other than… The problem was that not much had changed externally.
“…Is this okay? Won’t we get caught?”
Literally, the only problem was that the ears were a little longer and the muscles were a little shrunk, but it was the same as usual.
That’s right, they were elves, a race even called the race of beauty.
But the only things that changed were the ears and muscles…
“No matter how you look at it, you’re just a human with long ears.”
Looking at it objectively, my face in this world, or if I were to evaluate the appearance of my face, could be said to be below average.
In general… There are a lot of races with a beautiful appearance, and the existence of mana seems to have an effect on the average appearance, which is why the average value is too high, but in any case, being below average is just being below average.
However, they are all very tall, and they are all stylish and skinny, no matter what they eat for a living… Compared to the elf men who look like noblemen from some fairy tale… What does it feel like to have a below-average appearance?
From an elf’s point of view, wouldn’t it feel like an extremely ugly man who would be remembered for an entire day, or even for several years given the long lifespan of elves, if one meets him on the street?
“Hmm, somehow my body feels a lot lighter!”
On the other hand, Carmina, who drank the race change potion with me and changed her race to an elf… Yes, she was pretty enough to make quite a few elf girls slap her.
As most elves have white skin, Carmina has light brown skin…
No, besides that.
In general, not only elf men but also women should stand out due to their overly large breasts or buttocks by the standards of elves, who often have slender body types.
But other than that, it wasn’t like he couldn’t be seen as an elf for any external reason.
Anyway.
If things continued like this, there would be a lot of problems.
It’s a bit embarrassing to say this, but he also has a well-known face.
Aside from the fact that he looks ugly by elf standards, he only has longer ears, so when the person from TV approaches…
I guess it’s a bit like that.
It won’t happen right away, but it will be noticeable a lot.
“Oh, don’t worry about that. Of course… I’m going to change my appearance.”
“Then I’m glad.”
If you change your face, it’s acceptable.
However, in response to Justitia’s words, Carmina spoke.
“…It’s strange, I heard that elves are a race of beauty, but what does the hero look like? Isn’t he manly, tall, and a strong warrior? Rather, it’s a shame that the muscles have decreased in my current appearance! But, you changed your face here… I like it better the way it is!”
“Hmm, that’s right, Hanzo? “What should I do?”
Why are you sleeping…
“Carmina, thank you for your words, but… My face is not that handsome.”
“In my opinion, the appearance of a hero is the most beautiful.”
“…Yes, I’m really grateful for that.”
That’s a bean pod.
In my opinion, my wives are the most beautiful in the world, even though they are ugly.
And this is not just a rumor, it is an objective fact.
It was an undeniable fact that I was not as handsome as an elf.
The reason Carmina thinks favorably of me is because I’m the type of person who doesn’t particularly look at her face.
Since I live in such a rough place, I feel like people from the Kingdom of Narmer seem to be strong people at first glance, or should I say that they are evaluated more strongly in terms of ability.
To begin with, the Kingdom of Narmer seemed to have been a fairly multi-ethnic society, so it wasn’t so much that they didn’t see much in terms of appearance… Rather, they didn’t pay much attention to it.
I felt like it was more important to know how well this person could take care of me, my family, or my child, rather than how they looked.
The only thing you can see externally is that he has a lot of muscles.
A big reason why the werewolves and refugees from the Kingdom of Narmer are connecting better than expected is because there are many men with big muscles among the werewolves.
Everyone in the kingdom is a muscle lover…
Anyway, if there were such muscle lovers among the elves, I guess we could look at them favorably now that they have enormous muscles by elf standards.
Since ancient times, it has been common for people of the same species to be attracted to each other.
The environment and the person’s personal tastes may also be affected.
Since they were couples that were destined to be connected from the beginning, elves have their own aesthetic sense, and this was bound to be directed towards each other.
In other words, I really appreciate Carmina’s opinion about my appearance, but that was that and this was this.
“Then, Hanzo. “Do you have the look you want?”
“Hmm…”
Since it ended up like this anyway, I decided to try to look good.
“Hmm, I guess the original hero looks better!”
I asked to make him as handsome as possible, even by elf standards, and Justitia changed my face by nibbling on it, as requested.
So, even in my eyes, he became a very handsome man.
Apparently, Carmina didn’t like it very much.
“Is it that bad?”
“It’s not that bad, but… It’s not that good.”
What is that.
Well, other than Carmina, I don’t think there was anyone who liked my changed appearance.
It was clear that everyone was tightly strapped.
“…But, looking at the reactions of those around him, it seems like the hero’s appearance is definitely drawing people’s attention.”
Carmina, who was clinging to my side, rolled her eyes around her surroundings and spoke.
“It’s a little bit distasteful to see people who don’t even know the true character of a hero become interested simply by looking at his external appearance. The hero’s true appearance is much more handsome than now! “They all have no eyes to see!”
“Um… Well. Okay.”
He was only evaluated poorly by his wives, but even by elf standards, he was unrivaledly handsome, so that was no big deal.
And…
“It’s not necessarily because of me. “Carmina is also very pretty.”
Even if I glance at the elf women looking this way, it’s because of me.
Because the man’s gaze was directed towards Carmina.
As she said that, Carmina stood up and proudly put her big breasts out in front of her.
“Hehe, a woman’s off-white color is true regardless of race! When Yeo was young, she had many people propose to her. “It’s a secret, but Karura’s father also proposed to her.”
Of course, they were both young, and even though she refused, Carmina said.
“I really think it would be best to keep that a secret.”
Even now, Karura sometimes tells her stories about her father, which she heard from her own mother.
Knowing that her father, who had never seen her face since he lost his life due to a curse before she was born, had actually proposed to Carmina… Seemed like it would make him feel a little better.
I might not really care.
Well, anyway.
It’s Carmina. Her face wasn’t known anyway, so she only changed her appearance a little… Still, even by elf standards, it was true that she was still a beauty that attracted attention.
But, that’s it.
Although it wasn’t as much as in the Kingdom of Lemer, she didn’t wear much on her body… It was Carmina, an outfit that elves liked to wear, so it was unpleasant to look at Carmina like that.
I think it was like this last time too.
Just now, I remembered a time when I had attracted a lot of attention around the time I brought Carmina and Karura from the Kingdom of Narmer.
At that time, she… She had responded by sending her gaze to Carmina and firing her fiercest punch at those who came, but she had learned the right way to deal with it from Carmina.
“Wha…?!”
She wrapped her arms around Carmina’s waist, who was next to her, and brought them closer together.
And, I made eye contact with each and every gaze that was looking in this direction.
I didn’t want to kill her and let her close her eyes.
It was true then, but there was no need for it now.
She just smiled once and said.
OK…
“…Well, there is a reward in being good-looking.”
She looked at me and Carmina alternately, and when she saw the other elves sighing and looking away from her, she felt better for no reason.
I’ve been feeling depressed lately, but I feel a little relieved.
“Hmm… It’s a shame that I don’t have much muscle, so I don’t enjoy being hugged.”
Actually, Carmina, who was hugged by me, said that while groping her chest.
“But, for the first time in a very long time… It’s nice to be able to monopolize the embrace of a hero.”
Soon, she smiled brightly as she said that.
Carmina was so lovely that she hugged her even tighter.
