01x04 - The Baron's Dog and the Floating Pig

[bunniefuu]

Are you hungry? Want some of this?

What a cutie! Do you want a snack?

Don't feed it junk.

Maybe I have leftovers from lunch

Well, well. Back again, are we?

Here, doggie! For you!

Good boy!

Oh wow. This doggie has a big fat belly.

Plus-Sized Elf

The Baron's Dog and the Floating Pig

Sure enough!

Jogging is the best exercise for an elf!

Can't say the same for those losers

Jeepers! I'm gonna shrivel up!

I can't take any more of this.

I'm wilting

Twitch Twitch

BAAAARF

I invited them to join me,

but they all went home early!

Well, too much exertion can lead to injury.

By the way, do you come to

this park often, Elfuda?

Are you kidding?

Alternate Dimension

Entrance

This is where I crossed over into your world.

Huh?!

So, this is the gate to your world?

Yep. It's how I come and go.

Hold on. Does that mean

I could visit your world, too?

Only if you have mana.

Oh

Alright. Let's get back to running!

Sure. I'm right behind you!

Whew, I'm beat. Time for a post-run snack.

SHAZAM!

Where the heck were you keeping that?!

What's the deal?

I'm betting it wants your fry.

But jeez! This doggie sure is big!

Seems a little fat if you ask me.

When it comes to animals:

the rounder, the cuter!

Who's a good doggie?

Aren't you just the cutest fluffball!

I always wanted to have a pet dog

when I was little.

Hey, come back!

Time for more pets!

Not the kinda guy who should keep a pet

There, there! Good doggie!

Cut it out!

Look, Elfuda!

This dog turned into a person!

That's a lycanthrope.

Otherwise known as a werewolf.

They're prideful creatures that stand at

the top of the food chain.

But most of them have moody personalities

that are annoying to deal with.

Oh, shut up!

I'm not taking that from an elf

who reeks of grease!

I do NOT reek!

Elves have a floral aroma!

Don't take it personally.

Dogs just have a sharp nose.

I'm not a dog!

Why don't you just get lost!

I'm trying to exercise here!

Exercise?

I recognize the roundness of those curves

You're on a diet, aren'tcha? Fatty fido!

I'm a wolf!

Humans bring me lots of yummy treats.

And I don't want to let any go to waste.

But eating all of them made me FAT!

f*cking humans!

What a dirty mouth

I keep running my a*s off,

but haven't shed any pounds!

And my body is so heavy

that it drags me down!

Then why not do some stretches

to help keep you moving?

Stretches?

Even just stretching for 5 minutes will have

a significant impact if you do it daily.

There are a lot of muscles clustered

near your hip joints in particular,

so loosen them up and get your

lymphatic system moving!

Man! Stretches really work!

My body feels nice and warm now.

You're pretty amazing for a mere human.

I'll give you permission to join my pack!

Pack?

Yeah, I'm the boss!

She really has a thing for you.

Lycanthropes typically operate in packs

only with their own kind.

It's rare for them to include an outsider.

Maybe you should learn to "shake."

Then she'll like you even more.

"Shake?" That's only for dogs

Ah! D-Don't get the wrong idea!

Shake.

Sit.

I dunno why, but I can't control myself!

You know, these guys can't disobey orders

from those who are higher up in the pack.

I'm betting she subconsciously

regarded you as superior while you

were instructing us on stretches.

Now she'll do whatever you want.

Even "beg" if you say the word.

"Beg"? Get serious

Begging?! Absolutely not!

Uh, I'm sorry!

Oh no! I can't stop! Please no!

I'm gonna beg!

She reverted to her original form.

The overwhelming shame made it

impossible to stay as a human, I guess.

Wah! I only wanted to lose some weight!

I'm really sorry about this!

What kind of pathetic pooch

cries over a little begging?

Excuse you!

Come on, Elfuda. Don't be so mean.

Nobody gets away with making fun of me!

You've got guts to fight with an elf.

All right. Let me teach you some manners.

Sniffle

Plus-Sized Elf

Plus-Sized Elf!

Let's move on from jogging.

It's time to try the exercise

that's most helpful for dieting.

One, two, three, four!

Five, six, seven, eight!

Chlorine ain't good fer me

Oopsies. I sucked up too much water

Tremble

Aw, jeez. Guess I gotta haul

you guys to the rest area.

Hup! Heave-h*!

Hey! Be more gentle!

I'm a wolf, but I can swim like a fish!

Just watch!

See?

So slow

Hey, human. We're done warming up.

So, why'd you recommend we try swimming?

He just wanted to see us

wearing swimsuits, duh.

No!

Swimming is the perfect exercise

when you're on a diet.

It takes a lot of energy to move

when you're underwater.

And the water resistance helps to evenly

stimulate all the muscles in your body.

Plus, the buoyancy reduces

the strain put on your joints,

which means less injuries!

Makes sense! I'll give it a shot!

You should have told me

that you don't know how to swim!

Fortunately, water walking has

just as many benefits.

Make sure to move your whole body!

And after 30 minutes or so

Huh?

Oh, hey! Boss!

What a coincidence!

You came for a swim, too, boss?

Pardon me, but I think you're confused.

I'm not this "Boss" person.

My name is Oku.

Huh?

Oops. I guess she does look

a bit larger than the boss is

Shucks! You look just like her.

I'm so sorry.

That's all right.

Your friends seem to be having

a lot of fun in the pool.

I'm actually a recent

transplant in this worl—

I mean, this city.

I haven't made any friends yet,

so I'm a little jealous.

Oh yeah?

We finished exercising for 30 minutes!

Nice job!

I'm really feeling it in my legs!

And with proper nutrition,

you can double the effect!

All it takes is some vegetables

and high-quality protein

Elves only eat vegetables.

But that's just a preference, right?

I recommend you try meat.

Thigh and tenderloin

meat is the best!!

Specifically pork, which is rich

in vitamins and carnitine.

Don't you dare!

Eating pigs is beyond cruel!

Whoa. Those ears

Sneaky! I didn't realize because of

how slimmed down she is,

but this girl is an Orc!

"Orc"?

A race of creatures that live in

the forest just like us elves.

Their bodies tend to be very stout.

To put it simply

They're piglike humanoids.

No, we are not!

I mean, I guess we do share

a slight bond with pigs!

Slight?

A legend passed down among Orcs, you say?

Yes. It speaks of a technique in this world

that even Orcs can use to lose weight.

So I came here and discovered

the ancient art of the "diet"!

It taught me that pool exercise was best

for people with hefty bodies like me.

And after giving it a try,

I found it was very effective!

Once I learn all the diet techniques

and return home,

then Orcs will never get made fun of

for being "fatheads" or "slowpokes"!

You could learn a thing or two from her.

Well, if an Orc can lose this much weight,

then you weren't kidding about

how effective swimming is.

Yeah, I've never seen an Orc

this in shape before.

R-Really?

Not bad for an inferior Orc.

Well, shucks!

They're making fun of her.

Swimming really is the better exercise, huh?

I think I'll give it a try.

Why not save it for another day?

My legs feel like jelly,

so there's no way I can swim.

Less jelly and more flab, in your case!

What did you say?!

Death to dark elves!

You first, fatty!

You're more of a pig than the Orcs!

Stop! It's dangerous to

roughhouse by the pool!

Are you okay?!

I'm s-s-s-s-s-sorry!

I'm such a good swimmer!

Nothing like a popsicle after a good swim.

Indeed!

Really warms ya up!

Wait, that's backwards!

Massage Relaxation

Beauty - Health - Diet

How's it going?

Have you been swimming every day?

Nah only once in a while

is enough for me.

Aw, jeez.

Oh, welcome in.

Mister Human!

Oku?!

What on Earth happened to you?!

They shut down the pool

at the gym for renovations!

And it caused my weight to bounce back!

What am I gonna do?!

Well

Don't fret. It'll be okay.

Let's turn that frown upside down

by eating some French fries.

Oink! But I'm trying to lose weight!

Please! Teach me other ways

that I can shed some pounds!
