My man made the right choice.

Hero: "I'd rather be surrounded by a bunch of smelly dudes than deal with the "antics" of an elf "harem.""

Now THIS is an isekai I'd watch!

Pros :
- loyal,
- no sex shenanigans
- others adventurers won't bully you to try to steal your party members like they're some kind of pokémons.

Cons :
- they might look down on MC because he has no beard,
- they might look down on MC because he has no beer,
- they might look down on MC because he's human,
- whenever you reach any kind of settlement with a brewery, trying to keep them together will be like trying to herd cats after some saboteur sneaked catnip in the air conditioning.

Well then, MC-kun finally has an excuse to grow a beard!

FRien said:

And drink beer!

FRien said:

Okay, yeah, got him there.

He's in a dwarf party- odds are, he'll be in there with them!

Oh my goodness, I just had a scary thought. Hanging out with dwarves, he will slowly get used to their culture, grow a beard, become fond of beer... He will become a dwarf in spirit, if not in body, and he will confuse people by being the tallest dwarf alive.

If Carrot Ironfoundersson can manage it, so can MC-kun!

A werewolf princess popped Carrot's cherry.

I mean, a werewolf would probably be a safer bet for MC-kun than an elf at this rate.

I think they'll have a hard time doing that.

Unless they brought a stool.

Old man Zelos, is that you?

Suddenly it turn into Hobbit sausage-fest!?

Oh you, ha ha ha.
You're definitely going in the book of grudges, but they'll kill you last.

I feel more inspired by the story of Sandwich Stoutaxe.

Dwarves, as short as their temper. Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Dwarf Fortress: Fortress or Adventurer mode?

Yes.

Looking at the pic again, hero missed the chance. He only needed one more dwarf party member so they can be called Isekai Hero and the Seven Dorfs.

Scarier still; he thought he was avoiding a harem situation. He thought wrong...

Or maybe their Rogue is just that good!

EDIT: From left to right, not including the Isekai Hero:
Dwarf Fighter (Two-Handed specialist)
Dwarf Monk (No Dwarf would go unarmoured and unarmed unless absolutely necessary)
Dwarf Cleric (Has a hammer)
Dwarf Fighter (Another two-hander)
Dwarf Ranger (the helmet lets him focus his vision better *taps forehead*)
Dwarf Barbarian

Mister. I do not think I like your idea very much.

Huh? This somehow remind me of Lord of the Rings, or is it The Hobbit?

The Hobbit is the one with the dwarf sausage fest.

"Aye, yeh'll still go in te' book.
But even we admit that was funny, so we'll kill yeh last."

Brothers of the mine rejoice!
