Girls with huge appetite are cute. Food bills are not though. It's a good thing that the MC is a farmer.

Well, this is subtle, but if you look how MC acts: treats this female with so much reserve, never belives in her stories. MC calls for authorities right away and even not informed her about it. From this last conversation with his ex seems like he wanted some kind of compensation for keeping her. He is never fully truthfull with her, does a lot behind her back. There is also a scene in previous chapter when he shows map of Europe and says that people like her live there. There are more of those little examples. Whats more when you think how japanese people treat westerners: they are open to visitors but if you try to live there you would meet with a lot of racist comments and behaviours. There are many places in Japan that won't accept non-japanese people (hotels, restaurants etc).
In the end it might just be me overthinking this. But I never felt this wierd when reading other isekai stories.
EDIT:
@kanzakill - hey I learnt new word and even google it to know what it means. Thanks mate.

@Yamibi You are indeed overthinking, she came out of nowhere and she told him that she came from another world, he is somewhat older than her and it seems that he has not a romantic relationship for a while. She indeed looks European considering that most asians have black hair and different skin tone most of the time, he was thinking about her appearance.
he feels bad about how he cannot sell his products, which is the way he sustain his livehood.

@Yamibi: For the most part I don't interpret it that way. Not believing her at first, that she's from another world. I can see that. Then not listening to here, as she's from another world and might misinterpret things in ours (Though not listening to the stories of her world is not bright.) Calling the authorities, might also be considered the best for his business in the long run. (Though in hinsight of typical corruption maybe also not the brightest thing to do.) Also asking for some sort of compensation as you already informed the authorities is normal. And telling her, that and where people with natural blond hair and similar facial features like hers live on earth, I don't deem that as a bad thing. Maybe she knows a legend about the lost home of Romanca, Europihia, Frankon or Brita or something.
But...

Whoot? *lol* That can't be right. Really? Wow....that, that is really hostile to foreigners. And many you say?...Wow

I actually still don't get how you think the protagonist is being racist. Let's go through your argument point by point.
1) "treats this female with so much reserve, never belives in her stories."
- Would you believe her if you're not into mangas and animes? It's a normal reaction by people who doesn't dwell in fantasies. In comparison, you can see his ex-gf believing her from the very start.
2) "MC calls for authorities right away and even not informed her about it."
- That's actually what every law-abiding citizen is supposed to do. You have a girl who claim she's a knight (possible mental institute patient), has no identification (probably illegal immigrant) and claims arrived via magic (possibly dangerous person). I know many mangas downplay this as if it's normal to meet strange people, but that's not what you're supposed to do. If something goes wrong, you will be held responsible and may be punished to the full extent of the law that governs that offense.
3) "From this last conversation with his ex seems like he wanted some kind of compensation for keeping her"
- It's not that he wants compensation. He deserves compensation, because the government (his ex) told him he can't meet anyone, he can't sell his produce to anyone and he can't leave his farm. When the government imposes such restrictions that causes the individual to lose their income, the government must compensate them for their loss.
4) "He is never fully truthfull with her, does a lot behind her back. "
- He thinks of her as a kid. As a parent, do you always tell the truth and nothing but the truth to kids?
5) "There is also a scene in previous chapter when he shows map of Europe and says that people like her live there."
- Because she looks like European. It's not wrong that if she goes to Europe, she will meet more people like her. She herself misunderstood him to be a slave trader when he showed her pictures of Europeans who look like her people.
6) "Whats more when you think how japanese people treat westerners: they are open to visitors but if you try to live there you would meet with a lot of racist comments and behaviours."
- Which country isn't racist to foreigners? Name me one. Just one. Certainly not America. America is racist to their own people.
7) "There are many places in Japan that won't accept non-japanese people (hotels, restaurants etc). "
- When foreigners go into their restaurants talking loudly, throwing food around, complaining loudly about the food or the waitress's bum or whatnots or generally disrespectful of local customs, can you blame the Japanese? This happens very often, even to this day. There are signboards stating 'Japanese-only', yes, I admit those exist, but they aren't actually enforced. My Chinese friends who speak Japanese often dined in restaurants labelled 'Japanese only'.
You can blame a lot of recent Japanese prejudice against foreigners to one guy, Debito Arudou (David Christopher Schofill), an American who managed to become Japanese due to marriage and then ruined everything up for everyone by suing everyone.

"Many" because it's not few. That does not mean "most". But maybe "some" would be better here. All in all it definitely is a problem. You can read articles about this f.e. in the japan times. First thing I found just now is article from Jun 4, 2017. So quite recent. And if you bother googling this you will find quite a lot of articles, blog posts and similar.
@Darkion
I blame my english skills for not being able to convey what I mean in a way that would be esier understood and not by just selling you few cheap arguments
EDIT:
@Aichan
Let it be known, that I've read you comment. You posted it when I was typing this so I put it in edit. I have somehow missed the part when he was told not to sell his produce. I will reread this part. And probably because I did not understand the scene fully I started to overinterprate all the previos ones. Darn missunderstanding can be fatal. I will accept all your arguments as logical and valid. So I stand corrected and retract my previous statements regarding MC of this manga. Still I myself had mostly unplesant encounters with Japanese people so the rest might be my prejudice. I can't say that there is not a single country that isn' racist (maybe there is one ?). I cant speak for others. I know my countrymen are definetly racist in general. Even my parents and grandparents are racist (and also catholics). I am very much ashamed by their behavour.
Also. I didn't yet know about Deibito case I have to read about it. I would appriciate if you send me some sources where I can read upon it.
