Chapter 77.3
On that day, Bash was once again trying to pick up women. His attempts were going quite well. Thanks to the wisdom of the Sage, the human women seemed quite willing to open up to Bash, laughing and engaging in pleasant conversations with him. The atmosphere was becoming quite pleasant. Why did the smiles of human women excite Bash so much? He longed to take these women home and become a respectable orc, worthy of pride.
“I’m sorry, but becoming the wife of an orc is too much for me. I think you’re a good guy, but my parents and the rest of the humans don’t like orcs…”
“I see…”
However, in the end, it didn’t work out. Even when he asked them to become his wife, no one gave a favorable response.
“Do human women hate the idea of becoming an orc’s wife?”
“It’s not that. Interracial marriages are quite popular now, and if it’s a gallant orc like you, some people will be okay with it. But…”
“But?”
“This is the Zarico Peninsula. It’s a land where orcs committed massacres and atrocities, so most people here have negative feelings toward them. Although I personally wouldn’t mind, you also have to consider social pressure. Marrying an orc can make your family look down upon, and your own family might turn against you.”
“I see…” Bash nodded firmly to her words. In the past few days, he had felt a level of progress in his dating attempts like never before. Following Druidor’s teachings and many discussions with Zell, his flirting attempts were undoubtedly getting closer to success. However, he couldn’t seal the deal. If the reason was local circumstances, then it was a valid reason.
