18. Discrimination

“Ah! Hey, Liz! Don’t swim in there!”

“Hahaha! This bath is amazing!”

“Oh noo! L-Liz, please be careful! Water is getting into my bunny ears!”

“I can’t handle it… Beyond that door are a big-breasted bunny, a well-endowed elf, and a sexy cat girl, all in their birthday suit… Maybe I should’ve shortened the length of the bathrobe?”

Listening to the voices of the girls from the large bath, I was feeling aroused.

After removing their slave collars, I gathered the magic pouches and belongings of the deceased noblewomen, offered a silent prayer, and left them where they were.

In the dungeons back in Chiba, I’d have collected the bodies, but here in this world, it seems common practice to leave them behind to avoid burdening with each other’s survival.

Although I could fit them in my spatial storage bracelet, taking them above ground and bringing them out would be problematic.

Slaves aren’t typically allowed to carry magic bags, and if someone from a conquered nation presented the body of a noble from an opposing country, it could lead to serious trouble.

Even if I said I retrieved them from a dungeon, people might accuse me of killing them out of hatred for the Empire.

Since these were people who had mistreated Liz and the others, I decided to leave them behind. They must have known what they were signing up for when they entered the dungeon.

After that, since there was no nearby small room, I used a gate key to transport us to a room.

Estina and the others were shocked and their eyes were wide open—they’d never seen such a magic tool before.

Apparently, it was rare. I explained briefly, had them go through the gate, and then set up my luxury grade magic tent.

Estina, Liz, and Sheena were awestruck, saying things like “A silver tent, neither white or brown…”, but I didn’t know how many types there were, so I told them to ignore it and go inside.

Once inside, they were once more blown away by how spacious it was.

So, I invited them to take a bath first.

I had left bath towels and robes in the changing room, so they’d definitely wear them after their bath. But I dont have women’s underwear, they’d likely be without bras or panties.

So, I get some juice in the fridge and waited anxiously on the living room sofa for them to come out.

Eventually, cheerful voices came from the changing room, and Estina and the others appeared with damp hair, wrapped in robes just as I’d expected.

I couldn’t help but take quick look on their beauiful body, one by one.

“Akutsu, thank you for the bath. And these nice towels, too,” Estina said.

Estina has well-proportioned fearures that could be expecten from an elf, her eyes long and narrow. Her height is about 160cm with a petite face and slender frame except for her ample chest.

Everytime she dried her long golden hair with towel, her white F-cup mounds pushed up against her bathrobe, jiggling and shaking, as if they tried to jump out of the robe at any moment.

Her back view from before she got here looked very delicate, and her firm buttocks were irresistible.

Liz, emerging from the changing room with energy, said, “Akutsu! That bath! It could fit twenty people! It had all kinds of soaps and shampoos! I felt like a noble! It was amazing!”

Her strong-willed eyes contrasted with her cute cat ears poking through her short, shoulder-length black hair. But her features are very beautiful

She was tall, roughly 175 cm, similar to my height.

Perhaps because of her tomboyish personality, she was currently strolling around in a bathrobe.

Her bathrobe is open and her breast are visible, and her cherry almost peeked out. They are about C-cup. Her legs are so long. Her butt is also nice and prky like a model’s

Finally, Sheena, with her snow-white hair and bunny ears, shyly said, “Thank you, Akutsu. I feel like a true white rabbit again not a gray one.”

Her facial features were as good as an elf and her slightly droopy eyes gave her a soft, serene aura.

She was a little shorter than me, and had hyuuuggee breast that looked like they were holding watermelons inside the bathrobe. I guess they were atleast H cup?

Apparently her bathrobe looked too small which he did not expect. As it was hanging above her knees.

Whoa… the cleavages… Estina’s like melons, Sheena’s like watermelons… Liz is about a C, but they’re well-shaped, and her robe shows off her cleavage the most.

I swallowed nervously and tried to keep my voice steady as I guided them to sit on the couch across from me.

“Well, I’m glad you’re enjoying it. I found this tent in the boss room. Here, I’ve got some juice ready, so go ahead and take a seat over there.”

“Thank you for everything,” Estina said, bowing her head slightly, pressing her two “melons” toward me, almost as if to say, “Go ahead, take a look.”

“Are you really human? Why are you being so kind to us?” Liz asked, tilting her head and put her hands behind it, which caused her bathrobe to lift up, exposing her fair thighs.

This… is too much…

“When worlds change, so do people. There are plenty of bad people on Earth, but I’m just doing what I want to do. Anyway, here, try this juice. I’m not sure what kind of fruit it is, but it’s pretty tasty.”

I handed out four glasses.

After they each took one, I picked up the remaining glass and took a sip.

I did that to show them there was nothing weird in it, but they drank without hesitation, even before I did.

They took seats on the opposite couch, sipping their juice. I couldn’t help but gaze at their exposed thighs, peeking out from their shortened robes as they sat.

I can… see… everything… So, no underwear… gold and white, she is black… they’re all so thin… wait, hold on! They’re way too defenseless!

Their lack of caution made me wonder if they even saw me as a man.

I mean, if they were wearing something short, wouldn’t they at least try to hide your triangle zone right?

They weren’t doing anything like that; in fact, I could glimpse… important areas.

While they weren’t fully spread out, I could still see… the “grass.”

While I stared, mesmerized by their thighs, my gaze accidentally met Liz’s.

She looked at me with a puzzled expression, then followed my line of sight.

After a moment of realization, she gave me a mischievous smile.

Caught off guard, I quickly looked away.

“Oh my… could it be that Earthlings find demi-humans attractive?”

“Huh? A human… finding us attractive?”

“What? Liz, what are you saying? That can’t be. After all, we’re treated no differently than animals.”

“It’s strange to be treated that way! I-I mean, it’s not like… well, you’re beautiful, really. I can’t understand why anyone would treat other people like animals. As far as I’m concerned, you’re just like any human…”

I blurted this out, surprised by Sheena’s words, but stumbled over the rest and became flustered

“No way… I was just kidding. But to think someone actually sees beastkin as… as humans, and even thinks we’re beautiful…”

“An elf as the same as a human… that’s how you see us…”

“W-What?! I-I’m just a rabbit… a beastkin. Doesn’t that make you disgusted?”

“Not at all. If anything… well, I think your ears are kind of cute.”

“W-Wha… as a rabbit, that’s… that’s so embarrassing.”

I was embarrassed, but I wanted to make it clear to Sheena, who seemed to think of herself as disgusting, that that wasn’t the case.

Her face turned bright red, and she pulled her bathrobe closer, covering her chest and thighs while looking down.

When I looked over at Estina, her face was also flushed as she shyly covered her chest and thighs. Liz turned her back to me, so I couldn’t see her expression.

Oh no! I should’ve pretended I wasn’t interested!

If they thought I didn’t care, maybe we could’ve taken a bath together! What was I thinking?!

“A-Anyway… those three rooms on the right seem to be for women, so I think you’ll find some clothes there. They weren’t mine to begin with, so feel free to use whatever you like. Probably you should get a change first?”

With that, the three of them quickly left the sofa and headed for the rooms.

Sigh… I really messed up, huh? But if they didn’t notice me, they might never think of me as a potential partner.

Yeah, maybe this was for the best.

Still… for people of other world not to even react to how beautiful they are… It’s more than just poor eyesight; there’s something deeply rooted here… a strong prejudice, perhaps.

Many stories inside novels & manga about other worlds depict beastkin and elf women being enslaved or raped by humans, but that’s only possible because they’re at least seen as desirable.

For example, on Earth, you couldn’t ask us to view a horse or a cow in sexual way, right? (Well except for some sick minded people)

But in that world, these humans, the people of Termina, must view them like that.

To think that’s possible, despite how similar they look, suggests some serious discrimination.

It might even be something religious. They must have seen elves and beastkin that way for a long time. It’s probably why they have no hesitation in killing them.

Realizing how deeply ingrained this discrimination is among Terminans weighed heavily on me.

The Termina Empire had already conquered Earth’s world, according to what the girls said.

I didn’t care much about how they treated Japan or the people who abandoned me and Baba-san, but I worried about what lay ahead for me after leaving this dungeon.

If the Terminans found us, we might be hunted or caputered.

But before that, I had to avenge everyone…
