僕は美しい人間について、この新しい世界で悟った事があります。僕が異世界に召喚される前の世界では美しさは物理的な造形にあり本能や文化に準じ判断する事が出来ました。しかしこの異世界では美しい人間は魂の美しさの度合いが高い存在の様です。
僕の美の基準では僕は美しい人間では無い筈なのに浄化しただけで麗しい人間と判断されたのか普段はバイトで皿洗いエンドレス作業なのですが唐突に給仕をやらせて貰ったのです。僕は皿洗いで他のウェイターやウェイトレスに比べると制服が汚らしく見栄えが悪いのですが、お客様はそんなのは全然見ておらず霊的なもので美しさを判断していたのか非常にスムーズに接客が出来ました。つまり新人類の見栄えは肉体やら美術だのファッションだのデザインには無く霊的な魂の見た目の美しさにあったのです。見た目の美に固執するのはこの新世界？では異常なのでしょう。つまりはデザインだのファッションに拘るのは本来は異常と判断されるのだと思います。
しかしあくまで霊的な魂の見た目の美であって心が汚くても社会性が低くても過大に評価される様なのです。つまりは魂をカスタマイズした整形魂が最も美しいとされると判断できます。僕は生来の内面重視なので人を結果と行動を評価しますが、宇宙人は魂の見た目重視の様で性格が悪くても犯罪者であっても大量殺戮者であっても美しいと判断される様でした。
この様な宇宙的な美の基準は社会に所属している僕的には間違っていると思いますけど、これが現状の様です。
I have come to realize something about beautiful people in this new world.
In the world I lived in before being summoned to another world, beauty was primarily found in physical appearance, and people could judge it according to instinct and culture. However, in this other world, beautiful human beings seem to be those whose souls possess a high degree of spiritual beauty.
By my own standards of beauty, I should not be considered a beautiful person. Yet, perhaps because I had been spiritually purified, I was apparently judged to be an elegant and beautiful person, and was suddenly allowed to work as a server. Normally, my part-time job consists of endlessly washing dishes. Compared with the other waiters and waitresses, my uniform looked dirty and I certainly did not look particularly presentable. However, the customers did not seem to care about that at all. They appeared to judge beauty based on something spiritual, and I was able to serve them remarkably smoothly.
In other words, the appearance of the “new humans” in this world does not seem to be determined by their physical bodies, art, fashion, or design, but rather by the beauty of their souls—the way their souls look from a spiritual perspective. If that is the case, then being overly attached to physical appearance may actually be considered abnormal in this new world. In other words, I believe that excessive concern with design or fashion would naturally be regarded as abnormal here.
However, this seems to be specifically about the spiritual appearance of the soul. A person may still have an ugly personality, poor social skills, or even behave terribly, yet apparently receive an excessively high evaluation simply because their soul looks beautiful. This leads me to conclude that a surgically or artificially customized soul—essentially, a “soul that has undergone cosmetic surgery”—would be considered the most beautiful of all.
I have always placed greater importance on a person's inner character, judging people by their actions and the results of what they do. However, the extraterrestrials seem to place greater importance on the appearance of the soul. From what I have observed, even people with terrible personalities, criminals, or even mass murderers may still be judged as beautiful if their souls are aesthetically pleasing.
As someone who belongs to society, I personally believe that this kind of cosmic standard of beauty is fundamentally wrong. Nevertheless, this appears to be the current reality of this world.
