Imagine a girl pinning you down in your bed in the middle of the night, only to tell you about the race relations of your world and then kicking you out of the bed so she could sleep there. Power move.


You can lecture all you want, but plus size elf doesn't seem to ever lose any weight
That is because Elfuda is a French fry addict.

Damn she is more stacked than I thought. Honestly the lecture was a bit basic.
Washing your hands was shunned for ages in our very own human history. No one believed in viruses or airborne particles. You need to remember that these people are basically starting at the same level as a preschooler in terms of health, aka 0. They have absolutely no foundation at all, so the first and absolute most important thing to do would be to establish that foundation. In that way, this is a perfect first lesson, simple every day things you can do to stay healthy

Her friends are coming for a visit though.
So, banking on how they will react about her teaching how to make holy water; which from the earlier episode when Eccles disguise as commoner priest, is probably closer to medicine than magic because people without knowledge of healing magic can produce it as long as they know the method.

One of the biggest concepts that this series dances around is the hippocratic oath. The protagonist is constantly giving long-winded speeches about why he acts the way that he acts, but there is a sane preexisting answer that denizens of this otherworld would accept: That in order to learn medicine, he swore a solemn oath to do no harm, to help patients that he could help, and to practice various other medical ethics. He could even teach it to his students (perhaps in a modified form) and propogate it further. The first tenets of the Amami school or something.

To be fair, you can't expect people with no background on formal education to grasp more advanced concepts. You need to at least establish a baseline that's easy to relate with common knowledge before your get into more complicated topics.
Not only that, but getting an actual education is unsurprisingly a rather grueling process of learning things that seem uninteresting or impractical. He couldn't hope to maintain much interest from most of those people for long.

Why would the human side accept that? The concept of helping all, whether friend, enemy, prisoner, commoner or aristocrat is a modern thing. No one even considered it through most of history. You've heard the girl, to them having the ability to withdraw help seems like a lifeline for the entire race. They'd just call him a self-rightous traitor, who'd rather stroke his ego than tow the line. They are wrong of course, having an advantage based on denying life-saving care will just breed resentment and in the long run you can expect other races to develop their own means of treatment anyway, but such an outlook will not materialize overnight.

... Did dude just talk no jutsu her out of racism? Well done
Not exactly. Her backstory is that she came from a human village that got burned down by demi-humans, and then she was given shelter by demi-humans, who in turn had their village burned down by humans. She said it happened three times, so the third time could have also been a demi-human village, considering she didn't want to trust humans when the church guy she now follows came to take her in.

In other words, she was already either not racist, or disliked both equally.
