Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Tail Diet

"Tohru..." Kobayashi stared at the plate of food before her with an expression filled with suspicion. It was dinner time in the Kobayashi household. Her dragon-horned, twin-tailed maid stood over her with a cheerful smile as Kobayashi's bispecled gaze drifted up to her. Tohru simply tilted her head obliviously. The pale redhead's brow furrowed; Tohru was acting.

"Remember that talk we had back when we started living together? I don't eat dragon meat. Especially not your dragon meat." She pointed her chopsticks at the meal in front of her. It looked like beef curry with fluffy white rice; a Japanese staple. Tohru had gotten a knack for cooking traditional stuff, so the curry itself looked typical and familiar...at first glance anyway. Looking a smidge closer showed that the "beef" itself seemed to have some greenish liquid dribbling from it. The only other thing she had seen before with that kind of trait was a cooked piece of Tohru's own tail. And speaking of, her tail was nowhere to be seen, the green and scaly appendage usually always hanging idly out of her maid uniform. "I'll give you points for almost passing it off, but these glasses aren't just for poor eye sight..."

"Heeeh?!" Tohru stepped back in honest shock. Her ruse had failed despite everything she did to cover up the meat's true origin. "B-But I made sure the sauce was thick and fragrant enough to hide that sort of thing! Curse that cookbook...I'll make it a life duty to hunt down its author and devour them for failing me..."

"Oi oi, plan your hunting when I'm not in the room please...And not with Kanna-chan around, either." She pointed her thumb over to Tohru's much younger dragon friend and, at this point, her own adopted daughter, Kanna. The little girl was busy practicing her coloring for school, scribbling red all over a crudely drawn knight.

"Kanna will ensure my victory~! Right???" Tohru grinned, giving the little dragon-human a thumbs up.

Kanna looked up for a moment before lazily nodding and returning the gesture. "Those who lie are sacrificed..."

"Ngh! A-Anyway!" The redhead fumbled, "You or Kanna-chan can eat this. I guess I'll just get some take-out or something..."

"B-But Kobayashi-san! I insist! I mean...I know you keep turning me down, but I'm not even asking you to indulge just for my sake!...T-Though that's a very strong part of it...Guehe...Guehehehehe~" The dragon maid cupped her red cheeks as her red reptilian eyes glazed with infatuation.

"...Yeah, I'm getting take-out."

"AH! WAIT!!" Tohru's hand immediately grasped onto Kobayashi's arm as her face quickly shifted from a look of love to a pleading expression, her lip trembling ever so slightly. "I-I just...want you to try new things! Yes, I know it came from my tail but...I-I mean it's the easiest source outside of going home and slaughtering one of my enemies, you know???" Kobayashi really wanted to question that last bit, but for the sake of the moment she let it slide. "It doesn't hurt to try new things, right? Just this once?...Please...?"

Those round, glistening eyes...Kobayashi mentally cursed herself for having such a weak heart when it came to Tohru. Yes, she was good at keeping her in line, what with being a dragon in a primarily human world, but seeing her less than happy still stung a bit. She glanced back at the dragon tail curry on the table, then back at Tohru's pleading eyes. "...Fine..." she sighed, "but the moment I react negatively is your sign to never serve it to me again, alright? I don't care how well-cooked it is."

"OF COURSE~!" Tohru beamed as she slid Kobayashi's chair back out for her to sit in. "Please! Enjoy~! I guarantee you it's better than you may think!"

Kobayashi gulped, taking her seat and regaining her chopsticks. She stared at the dish one last time, still warm enough for the heat to slightly fog her glasses. Tohru watched on, knee-deep in anticipation of her master's reaction. Even Kanna had paused her coloring schedule to lean over the edge of the living room couch, watching with her child-like curiosity at full attention. The human head of the household picked up a small piece of curried dragon meat. She glared at it, the sauce mingling with the greenish juices before dripping to the plate. She gulped a second time.

"One piece...One piece and never again."

Like pulling off a band-aid or taking bitter medicine, she quickly popped the piece into her mouth and clenched her eyes shut as she quickly chewed with the intent to swallow as soon as possible...That was the plan, at least. What Kobayashi didn't expect was the flavor of the meat itself. It wasn't gamy, tough or strange-tasting like she was anticipating. The meat almost melted in her mouth, the spices of the curry sauce and the juices combined to form a smooth yet comfortably spicy taste. To be completely honest, it was possibly the greatest tasting meat she had ever had in her life. "...T-The hell...?" Her cheeks went flushed as she finally finished savoring the piece and swallowed it. "This is-...This is delicious...!"

"...Ha! HAHA~!" Tohru's cheerfulness practically exploded at the positive reception as she knelt down beside her at the table. "Do you really mean it, Kobayashi-san? Really-really???"

"Mmh!" Kobayashi nodded eagerly before eating another two chunks without a hint of hesitation. "I can't believe it but-mmph-this is actually one of the best things I've ever tasted! I don't know if I should be relieved, surprised or freaked out...!"

"Hmhmhm~" The maid stood proudly, hands fused to her hips and chest pushed out triumphantly. "Dragon meat is so coveted that even fellow dragons hold it in high regards! It's packed full of vitamins, nutrients and everything you'd need to grow big and strong! The ultimate food~!"

Kanna nodded from the sidelines. "Mmh...Dragon Tail Stew is yummy..."

Kobayashi gleefully shoveled the rest of her meal down her throat happily, her plate totally cleaned as she let out a content sigh. "As weird as the cooking method is...I gotta say Tohru, you were absolutely right. That was amazing."

"Ah, please! If you'd like some more, I made plenty~" Tohru smiled, motioning to the pot of curry still sitting on the kitchen stove..

"Seconds, huh..." After a brief instance of thought, the office worker smiled and nodded, patting her middle. "Sure. Why not? As a way to celebrate a new type of meal, I guess."

She was glad this meant Tohru could cook something more exotic for her. In fact, she was already looking forward to what else her maid had in mind in terms of dragon tail entrees...

--------------------

Kobayashi glanced at the clock on the office way for what was probably the tenth time in the past hour. Her brow furrowed in annoyance. It felt like the transition from 11am to lunch break was taking an eternity rather than a measly sixty minutes. Her stomach let out a small growl. She was really feeling peckish today. Then again she felt peckish yesterday, too...And the day before that...

"Hey, Kobayashi? Mind helping me with this data section? I swear I think my math's off by like a single number but I don't know which." Kobayashi's co-worker and drinking buddy, Makoto Takiya, waved the ponytailed woman's attention back over to their desks, his usual cool and laid-back smile all over his face.

"Ah-...Ahah. Sorry about that, Takiya-kun. Yeah, sure lemme take a look at what you have..."

"You've been spacing out a lot recently, huh? And always around noon, too." Takiya pointed out as he slid his office chair over to give Kobayashi some space. His gaze ran up and down his fellow office worker curiously as she scooted into his computer area.

"Mm? Ah, yeah, I guess. Lunch break means a breather from staring at a computer screen for an hour, y'know."

"Yeah, I get that...Totally..." As Kobayashi ran her fingers along the keyboard, entering numbers and symbols with the speed of a sports car, Takiya's eyes continued to roam her figure. After another minute or so, he just couldn't help but point out the glaring fact that had been rattling around in his mind. "Speaking of lunch...Is it me or are you looking a bit more well-fed than usual."

"Huh? what do you mean?" Swiveling her seat back to face Takiya gave the young man a better look at Kobayashi's figure. She definitely looked...well...plumper. Her cheeks looked slightly rounder, her dress shirt looked a little tighter than usual and her pants looked a tiny bit snugger than they probably used to be. On top of all that, Kobayashi's usually flat torso now gained a small curve at her mid-section. Overall, the usually thin Kobayashi looked what many would consider healthy. She definitely showed that she had been eating well lately. The woman glanced down at herself. Honestly, she felt fairly normal still, even if her clothes had been feeling tighter recently. "Ah, you think so? I guess Tohru's cooking recently has helped balance my diet out a bit more normally."

"Aha, Tohru-chan's certainly the type to want to ensure you eat properly." Takiya laughed. "I'm guessing her courses lately have been really up your alley if they have you excited for lunch all the time."

"A-Aha...haha...Yeah..." Kobayashi chuckled awkwardly. She couldn't exactly go into detail on what she'd been eating and where it came from. Even if Takiya had been amazingly down-to-Earth about her having a dragon for a maid, a dragon for a surrogate daughter and dragons as acquaintances overall, mentioning that one of her favorite meals consisted of dragon meat?...That would probably be too much for anyone. "She, uh...She sure has a way of making even the most exotic-sounding foods taste delicious. It must be a dragon thing."

"Heeeh...I should come by for dinner sometime then. Eheh, I know Tohru-chan doesn't exactly like me much, but that sounds too good not to want."

"Aaah..." That hope of Takiya's only managed to make Kobayashi glance off into space with a pitiful smirk. "Knowing her, she'd probably try serving you for dinner instead...Hey, how about we go out drinking tonight? Sound good?"

"Huh?...I mean sure, always does. Why so suddenly?" Takiya asked, caught off-guard by Kobayashi's sudden eagerness.

"Just wanna unwind after work is all. And to grab something to eat that's not made by Tohru. I also sorta wanna give her a break tonight..." She scratched her cheek sheepishly. With how frequently she'd been asking for cooked dragon tail, she didn't want to be too selfish -- especially considering it was Tohru's tail meat...

So the day progressed into the evening, which soon transitioned to night. Tohru was still fuming. Not at Kobayashi's call about being out drinking for the night, no. She could never be mad at her beloved master. She was annoyed at her spending time with Takiya. Then again she always fumed every time she called about drinking with him after work; Business as usual. While Tohru pouted through her to the end of dish-washing, Kanna let out a small yawn from her spot on the couch, her head drooping every few minutes as she fought off sleep as best she could.

"Oi oi, Kanna...You're tired, aren't you? It's time you head to bed, okay?" Tohru advised, drying her hands before joining her little companion in the living area.

"Mmn...Wanna wait...for Kobayashi..." The young dragon shook her head sleepily, nodding off again almost immediately afterwards before catching herself again.

"Kobayashi-san would want you to get your sleep, don't you think? You have school tomorrow, after all." The dragon maid smiled, picking Kanna up gently. "Come on, off to sleep with you. You can see her in the morning~"

"Mmmnnnn...Tohru-sama...Nn...Zzz..." The dragon child finally dozed off as Tohru carried her to their shared bedroom. After changing her out of her clothes and into her pjs, covering her up and giving her a goodnight kiss on the forehead, Tohru quietly and carefully slid the door closed with a content sigh...The moment didn't last long before the front door suddenly slammed open.

"ToooooohRUUUUUU!!!"

The startled dragon maid immediately snapped to attention before getting a look at who beckoned her. Kobayashi had finally come home after her evening out with Takiya -- Still firmly drunk and red in the cherubic face. Her gaze was hazy and glassy as she fumbled with the simple act of closing the door. For Tohru though, this was no different from the Kobayashi that saved her on the fateful night that they met.

"Kobayashi-san~! Welcome home! How was work? Did you enjoy your drinking? Did Takiya-san finally drink himself to death~? He did, right~???"

"Mnf...Tail..." Kobayashi mumbled with a slur. "Gimme...Gimme shome tail..."

"T-Tail...?" It took a moment for Tohru to process the request before lighting up like a Christmas tree. "AH~! K-KOBAYASHI-SAN WANTS TO TAKE ME AWAY RIGHT HERE AND NOW~?! I-I...OH MY, IT'S A GOOD THING I PUT KANNA TO BED~" She blushed and swayed bashfully, seductively pulling the collar of her maid uniform down over her shoulder. "I-If you really want me, I don't mind if we just do things her on the floor~"

"Hah? HAAAAH???" Kobayashi snarled drunkenly. "GIMME SOME DRAGON TAIL YA...YA...Hic...YA IDJIT! I'M CRAVIN' IT! I'M NOTHIN' WITHOUT IT!! DRAGON TAIL GIVES ME LIFE!!!" She stomped over to the dining table, immediately taking a seat before pounding her fists to the table. "DRAGON TAILS, DRAGON TAILS~! I WANNA EAT SOME DRAGON TAILS~!"

"...E-Eh?...Ah..." A twinge of disappointment ran through Tohru's mind as she made herself decent, but it was quickly replaced with her love of nurturing Kobayashi at every moment she could. "Not the tail I was hoping you were asking for, but I'm always willing to cook you something! It's just an indirect way for you to eat me after all...Huwah~" Cupping her cheeks happily, the dragon floated back into the kitchen, grabbing a pair of knives and ready to get cooking. "What would you like to eat then, Kobayashi-san~? Dragon curry? Dragon stew? Ah! Dragon udon???"

"Hic...ngh...Make me...one'a errything..." The office working hiccuped, her cloudy gaze narrowing as she slapped the rounder stomach sitting under her snug shirt. "N'keep it comin'...This belly needs FOOD."

"ONE OF EVERYTHING COMING UP~!" With that order, the next few hours flew by in a flurry of various dragon tail-based dishes. All of which Kobayashi greedily sucked down without a second thought. She'd find herself left with a massive hangover and an over-stuffed belly the next morning...but even then, she'd never turn down something as delicious as a breakfast of fried eggs with grilled dragon tail slices...

--------------------

"Hff...ngh...H-Has Kanna-chan's school always been this far...?" Kobayashi groaned as she and Tohru walked through town towards the elementary school Kanna attended. Usually she'd be at work around this time, but a day off meant she could do stuff like this. Plus Kanna loved it when Kobayashi picked her up from school, too...though she didn't remember the actual trek to the place being so straining and tiring. "Ugh...My legs...hah...are killing me..."

Tohru immediately brightened. "Eh~? Kobayashi-san, if you're tired, I could always-!"

"No...hff...No dragon-back rides...hff...I'd rather take the leg pain over the...ngh...the motion sickness..." Kobayashi stated flatly, bringing a fist to her mouth as her cheeks puffed out. "URP...Guh...I don't think those dragon tail burgers are sitting very well with me..." She gave her stomach a ginger rub -- Granted there was plenty of it to rub, too. A month had passed since her first real taste of dragon meat and her growing addiction to the stuff really showed now. It wasn't possible for a human to grow so wide and heavy so quickly, but so far Kobayashi's life was anything but normal. Her face had gone from slightly chubby to mostly round with fuller cheeks and a fluffy second chin. Her usual button-ups strained against her collection of torso flab as the buttons strained to stay on, diamonds of pale pudge pushing out through the spaces they could. Her arms couldn't stay flushed to her sides anymore, not just from her arm fat, but from the tightness of her sleeves as well. Her slacks popped a few stitches on the walk over as thigh fat peeked out from beneath the fabric. They probably would have burst off by now if her belt wasn't fighting a valiant battle beneath her stomach rolls, struggling to keep fastened as she waddled her jiggling self along beside her dragon maid. Drops of sweat poured from her fat face to her damp shirt. It wasn't exactly a hot day, but to Kobayashi, it felt like the peak of summer.

"Was it the bacon? I added too much bacon, didn't I..." Tohru pondered.

"N-No no, definitely not...It was delicious. Probably-URLP...E-Excuse me. Probably just from all the physical activity afterwards...Mmh." Kobayashi nodded to herself, her spare chin inflating a bit in the process. "Ough...Maybe next time I'll just let you pick Kanna-chan up..."

"Eheh, I'm certain Kanna-chan will be happy to see you, though, Kobayashi-san. She's become extremely attached to you...Though obviously I'm still superior in that regard~" Tohru huffed proudly, clinging to Kobayashi's doughy arm and lovingly sinking her nuzzling cheek into it's flesh.

"So you keep saying..." The obese woman huffed as she and her dragon maid slowly but surely made their way to the elementary school they had enrolled Kanna in. Kobayashi squashed her bulk against the school's gate with a husky sigh. Walking never felt so exhausting before. She would have gone through the effort of hoisting her arm up to wipe the sweat from her brow if Tohru wasn't immediately on-hand with a handkerchief. Before long the school bell rang and slowly but surely the young students began to funnel out of the gates and back home. Brushing off the glances and stares from the children that passed by her over-bloated form, Kobayashi's jowls lifted into a smile as she locked eyes with Kanna, who immediately lit up, as much as her personality allowed anyway, before scurrying over to her Earth-bound guardians.

"Kobayashiiii." The little dragon wasted no time clinging to the human woman's billowing belly with a low, reverberating 'thwump' and happily nuzzling her cheek against the jiggling flab.

"Ready to head home, Kanna-chan~?" Kobayashi's plump hand lovingly pet Kanna's head before a jolt of appetite-fueled excitement caused her to turn to Tohru. "Tohru already has dinner planned out for us and everything, right???"

"Mmh~!" The dragon maid nodded happily. "Dragon tail curry with some dragon katsu sandwiches, left over dragon tail stew and something new I wanted to try; Dragon tail sashimi~!" After counting on her fingers happily, she looked back to Kobayashi only to find her a fair ways down the block from her and Kanna already.

"Hff...hff...hah...W-What are you two waiting around for...hff...We need to head...hff...head back home...!" Despite her size and girth, Kobayashi was already waddling off down the street back to their apartment. The thought of all the dragon meat she'd be treated to, all thanks to her wonderful meat provider-...Maid. Her wonderful maid. A small string of drool escaped from her lips at the mere thought of a table full of dragon tail dishes. At this point, a life without the delicacy seemed non-existent. Her dragon companions casually followed her. Even a normal walking speed was enough to keep up with their human partner at the size she was at now.

"Tohru-sama..." Kanna tugged on Tohru's apron. "Is Kobayashi gonna marry an ogre chief...?"

"M-Marry...?" Even if it wasn't aimed at her, the thought of Kobayashi marrying period made her flush a bit -- especially when she inserted herself in as the other half. "A-Ah...~ Uh...No. No she's not...And if she were, I would have charred said ogre chief ages ago~"

"But then..." Kanna pointed to Kobayashi, the office worker literally dripping in sweat thanks to her earlier gluttony-filled burst of energy. "Why is she so big?"

"Mmm...Big? She seems fine to me..." Of course, being a dragon from another world meant Tohru had a lot to learn about ours. Based on her experiences and knowledge of her home dimension, someone Kobayashi's size meant they were extremely prosperous. Usually said individuals came from royalty. That just made her daydream more: Her queen Kobayashi atop a gilded throne as she took her place upon one of her deliciously flabby thighs, lovingly feeding her meals fit for a monarch. "D-Doesn't she...h-haaaah~...D-Doesn't she look like some sort of ruler at that size anyway, Kanna~?"

"Mmmmm...Mmh." The child dragon contemplated before nodding silently. She could care less about Kobayashi's size, too. She was still very kind. Plus, hugging her felt so much more soft and comfy.

Meanwhile Kobayashi continued to wheeze and heave her way back home, her mind clouded with the thought of food. "Hff...hff...stew...hff...sashimi...hah...sandwiches...hah....seconds...~"

In the back of her mind, a part of her was growing ever the more concerned over her growing frame. Walking was harder. Moving in general was a chore. Her clothing was growing snugger by the day, even with her up-sizing. Chairs and beds creaked worryingly under her now, too. Perhaps she should address this issue? Maybe ask Tohru to cut back on the dragon meat? If she did, perhaps she could start getting back into reasonable shape...Perhaps...Perhaps...she could also have an extra serving of dragon tail stew if she double-fisted the sashimi fast enough...

--------------------

"Tohru-sama, Tohru-sama...! Hungry, hungry...!" Kanna hopped up and down in her seat at the dining table, watching Tohru diligently whip up a storm of food. It was morning, which meant it was time for the morning routine. For Tohru, that was wake up, bathe, clean, prepare everyone's daily clothing and finally cook up as much food as she could to appease Kobayashi's rampant appetite. Her current line-up included a few plates of seared dragon tail omurice, all with neatly-etched ketchup hearts place on top, two pots of miso soup and at least three loaves worth of toast. Currently the dragon maid was in the middle of crafting Kanna's breakfast: A much more modest and normally portioned meal if two fried eggs, a piece of toast and a small salad with juice. Perfect for a growing grade-schooler. A human one, anyway.

"Mmh, it's almost done, Kanna~" Tohru chirped happily. If she were a normal human, she'd probably be exhausted after doing so much kitchen work. Thankfully being a dragon meant stamina by the barrel full. "Are you excited for Kobayashi-san to walk you to school today~?"

Kanna simply nodded enthusiastically; A simple little dragon with simple needs if there ever was one.

After a while, loud yet muffled thuds began to emit from behind Kobayashi's door. The apartment itself even felt like it was trembling a bit with every instance.

"Ah, Kobayashi-san must be awake~" Tohru mused happily as the bedroom door opened, only for the doorway to be immediately filled with blue pajama-covered flab. Kobayashi had repressed her dietary worries in order to enjoy eating Tohru's dragon recipes and now it really showed. Her belly completely covered sight of her legs, the upper half of her body covered in a really tight pajama shirt with buttons straining over her flabby chest as her inflated, apron of a belly cascaded practically down to the floor. Her fat-filled face winced, glasses tightly perched on her jowl-like cheeks as her four chins compressed from her open-mouthed panting. She gripped the doorframe with her rounded hands and grunted huskily as she tried to squeeze herself out of her room, a fat foot and leg clothed in equally tight pj pants stepping out awkwardly from behind her curtain of adipose. She'd been up for a total of maybe five minutes and already the close to half-ton woman was exhausted.

"Mmmmnnngh...hff...T-Tohru...hff...Hate to...to bother you while you're busy...hah...b-but do you mind perhaps...hff...hfffnnnnngh!!...helping me out...?"

"Kobayashiii...~!" Kanna hopped up from her seat and immediately scurried over to hug her caretaker, even if she was having a personal dilemma. Nowadays, she couldn't get enough of Kobayashi's immense plush, using it like a comforting, warm pillow whenever possible. She nuzzled the fatty's bare belly fat happily and contently.

"Ah...hff...K-Kanna-chan, can you wait until maybe...after I get out of the doorway?...Hff...T-Tohru...!" Kobayashi's cheeks went red. This wasn't exactly a good-looking spot to be stuck in.

"Coming, Kobayashi-san~! Ah, you look like you digested last night's dragon tail hot pots rather easily~" Tohru mused as she fluttered over to her master's side. Normally one would try to pull the stuck object out from its place, but Tohru had a better idea...

-KRAKSH!!!-

A swift punch to both sides of the door frame completely obliterated it and some of the surrounding walls, freeing her obese master instantly. Kobayashi was sweating even more now, what with the casual damage her maid caused. Luckily, she could easily restore it once she passed through.

"Ngh...I really wish you wouldn't use...hoh...extreme measures like that..." Kobayashi wheezed as she waddled slowly to the living room couch, her belly practically dragging at this point in her growth. Everything was a chore now at her size. Even just the act of getting up in the morning took ages. "Hfff...Ugh...Gimme a sec...Gotta...hff...gotta sit and-IYAAA!!!"

The moment her weight made contact with the couch, the orange seating cracked and splintered within, bending inwards and sending the blob-like office work straight to the creaking floor with a crack-infused THUD.

"Ngh...Crap..." Kobayashi huffed huskily. "That's something else...that needs fixing..." She sighed., sinking slightly into her fat in disappointment. "Ugh...I can't believe this is...really me..." She glanced down at herself, seeing nothing but a pair of small, drooping moob-like breasts clothed atop an apron of peach-colored flab. She had more sense than to let herself get so out of shape...Hell, out of shape was long past. She was obese. More than obese. Almost inhumanly so. All because she just couldn't say no to Tohru's dragon tail. If she wasn't so damn insistent on trying it, maybe she'd still be able to walk normally...

"Kobayashi-san..." Tohru spoke in a worried ton as she knelt before her master's grand stomach, feeling it gently. "You're not hurt, are you...? Not to worry. I can fix the couch easily. I can even reinforce it a bit so you can sit normally. Like I did with the dining chairs~!"

As Tohru reassured her, Kanna wasted to time going back to nuzzling her fat lovingly. Like a cat cuddling up to her side, in a way. She couldn't understand it. Were these two really oblivious to her size? They didn't seem worried or concerned or even put off by her massive form...Yeah, they were from another world and all, but wouldn't someone this fat still be extremely unorthodox...?

"Say...Tohru..." Kobayashi called out weakly, her dragon maid perking up from her position, her belly rubbing brought to a stop.

"Mm~?"

"...You...really don't mind me being so...y'know...so big?" To emphasize her point, she gave her middle a pat, the sack of flesh wobbling like a water balloon.

"Mind? Not at all!" Tohru explained happily, going back to rubbing Kobayashi's stomach through the ripples. "Why would we? You're still my precious Kobayashi-san, whether you're as large as a castle or as tiny as a grain of rice~! Nothing will change that!" She nodded confidently. "Besides, you look so happy when you eat my cooking, I couldn't bare to be without that look on your face for too long~"

"E-Eeeeh? But I mean-...I can't just-...Look at me! I'm just so...s-so...-!"

"Soft~" Kanna cooed out happily as she continued to snuggle up against Kobayashi's flab. She looked extremely at ease and content. Not to mention Tohru herself still looked as bright and cheerful as ever, even after her drastic change...Was this really okay...?

"...I-I can't control my appetite, y'know. It's like I can't imagine not eating dragon meat anymore. If I continue on like this, I'm not sure what will happen to me or to us. With how hard it is to move, I can't even get to work without problems anymore..." She tried to warn. But Tohru's smile never wavered.

"As long as you're happy, it'll be fine. Right, Kobayashi-san~?"

"...A-As long as I'm..." She wasn't wrong. Eating made her happy. Taking care of her made Tohru happy. Even her fat alone made Kanna happy. In all due respect, it was an overall positive thing. Maybe this was okay?...It'd take some accomedations, for sure, but perhaps a strict diet wasn't exactly needed right now.

Grurgrugblrugl...

As if to enforce her decision, Kobayashi's belly let out an audible growl. She couldn't deny it: She was absolutely starving. All the movement earlier worked up one hell of an appetite. She sighed to herself and shrugged as much as her wide, padded shoulders could. She took a whiff of the air around her, smelling the dragon tail omurice waiting just for her.

"Tohru, can you dial up work and hand me the phone?" She asked with a smile. "I need to talk with my boss about maybe working from home from here on out." Kobayashi sighed one last time, leaning herself back into the broken couch, her feet poking out from beneath her curtain of belly fat as she rested her hands on-top of it. "And while I do that, you can serve me up breakfast. I'm absolutely famished~"

Tohru simply beamed, her smile as bright as a dragon's fire. "As you wish, Kobayashi-san~!"
