Ch.386[Episode 386] Rest…?

If you skip a day, you regress two days.

The original meaning was to never skip training, but Sir Dominic thought there had never been a time when this adage was more fitting.

“My senior was right.”

Sir Dominic recalled the face of the senior who had taught him this adage.

Ironically, that senior had frequently skipped training sessions and gotten scolded, but that wasn’t particularly important information in the current situation.

“Skip one day, and regress two days. No—”

Sir Dominic looked at the number displayed on the scale before him.

He had gained a whopping 200 pounds, or about 90kg, more than usual.

It wasn’t that skipping one day caused him to regress two days, but rather that he had regressed by 200 pounds.

Sir Dominic’s appearance after gaining 90kg was quite a spectacle.

His neck was so enveloped in fat that it was barely visible, his body resembled a round ball or balloon, and his limbs looked as if they had been taped onto that ball.

Sir Dominic tried taking out his sword and shield just in case, but his rounded body made it difficult to even swing them properly.

“This is quite a predicament.”

“Y-yes, it is.”

When Sir Dominic spoke to Captain Elang, the captain somehow avoided eye contact.

In truth, Captain Elang was responsible for over 90% of Sir Dominic’s transformation.

Sir Dominic had agreed to pay for everything in exchange for Captain Elang teaching him about relaxation.

Too excited by this fact, Captain Elang had visited buffets four times a day, gone to cafes eight times, and eaten desserts six times.

And that wasn’t all.

There were five fancy meals, nine snacks, and seven candy and cotton candy consumptions.

All of this had happened in just one day.

No wonder Sir Dominic had gained weight like an elephant.

Sir Dominic began waddling forward with a very troubled expression.

“At this rate, I won’t even be able to enter the knights’ dining hall.”

Sir Dominic remembered that the door to the knights’ dining hall was slightly smaller than his current body.

“Is that the problem…?”

Captain Elang looked at Sir Dominic with an incredulous expression.

Sir Dominic saw Captain Elang’s expression but merely shrugged.

“It’s a rest period, after all.”

Sir Dominic’s words had many implications.

Basically, the underlying meaning was that during a rest period, it was acceptable to eat and play more.

But conversely, it also meant that Sir Dominic normally trained vigorously enough to burn that many calories.

In other words, Sir Dominic could return to his original state if he put his mind to it.

“…That’s quite an enviable body.”

Captain Elang grumbled, seemingly having caught the meaning behind Sir Dominic’s words.

It seemed that Captain Elang had a body type that didn’t lose weight easily.

“Anyway, I’ve only rested for one day so far.”

It had actually been a day and a half, but Sir Dominic simply called it a day.

“I realized today that there are so many good foods in Gacharland. Thanks to you, my perspective has broadened. Thank you, Captain Elang.”

“Ah, it’s nothing.”

Captain Elang felt awkward about Sir Dominic’s gratitude, but was also burdened by Sir Dominic’s suddenly fattened body.

Especially that chin! That double-folded chin was the problem.

Eventually, Captain Elang voiced what was on his mind to Sir Dominic.

“Um, Sir Dominic? While continuing to eat is fine, wouldn’t it be better to lose some weight first…?”

“Hmm?”

“Don’t you think it would be better to lose weight rather than staying this fat? When I look at mukbang GachaTubers, I notice that there are more slightly thin people than fat ones. Wouldn’t that body type be more advantageous for eating a lot?”

Captain Elang began rambling to persuade Sir Dominic.

Sir Dominic pondered Captain Elang’s words for a moment, then thought his suggestion made sense.

Since Sir Dominic also frequently watched GachaTube, he roughly knew what kind of physiques mukbang GachaTubers had.

“Indeed. When you put it that way, it makes sense.”

Sir Dominic tried to nod, but couldn’t because he had no neck.

“In that case, I should lose some weight right away.”

After saying this, Sir Dominic suddenly started rolling toward a nearby alley.

“…? Sir Dominic? Why are you going into the alley?”

Captain Elang questioned Sir Dominic’s actions.

“You’ll see.”

Sir Dominic rolled along the ground and entered the alley.

The alley was just wide enough to fit Sir Dominic’s body.

Captain Elang tilted his head at Sir Dominic’s sudden action but decided to follow him.

He thought he might as well be a bit more ambitious while working on gaining favor.

And so, Sir Dominic and Captain Elang entered the alley.

…

“No, I’m telling you, the probability isn’t that high! Last time was just really bad luck!”

-No, it wasn’t.

-Is there a Star with worse luck than the streamer?

-For real lol just admit it lol

“Ah! Come on! You guys are just watching my stream to make fun of me!”

The Star I’m Not Little had come to Gacharland after a long time.

The reason was extremely simple.

She had run out of shampoo at home.

I’m Not Little thought it was a good opportunity and started walking through downtown Gacharland with her stream on.

She could have gone quietly, but I’m Not Little was a born broadcaster.

A broadcast-obsessed streamer who turned every aspect of her private life into content.

“Ugh, thinking about it makes me annoyed. Everyone, this is exactly where I encountered robbers last time.”

-For real?

-Yeah, it’s true. Looking at the photos she posted on SNS, it’s exactly the same place.

-You’re still looking at that?

-[Message deleted by moderator.]

“I wonder what that person said to get banned. Anyway, look. Nothing is happen—”

That’s when it happened.

“Hehehe. Girl, hand over everything you have and I’ll spare your life.”

“Boss, this is Gacharland. The concept of death doesn’t exist here.”

“How stupid! Look at that clueless face! She clearly doesn’t look valuable!”

…A very rude band of thieves had appeared.

Moreover, judging by their appearance, they were the same thieves who had caught and threatened I’m Not Little before.

“…”

-Wow! Thieves!

-You know these thieves! By the way, they are. very. evil.

“No, is this even possible? Meeting the same thieves twice in the same place?”

-There are cases of giving up two grand slam home runs to the same person in one inning, so what’s the problem with meeting the same person in the same place?

-For real lol just admit it lol

I’m Not Little was irritated by this situation, which seemed too coincidental to be a coincidence.

“Why does this always happen when I go outside? I seriously get involved in incidents no matter what I do. Only I have such bad luck! Only me!”

-Think of this as karma for drawing both Sir Dominic and Sir Dominica cards at once last time.

-It does seem like you’re paying off a lot of karma, but karma is karma, streamer.

Despite I’m Not Little’s irritation, viewers just snickered, saying it was karma being repaid, and showed no intention of helping her.

In fact, the viewers knew I’m Not Little quite well.

She wasn’t really angry right now.

She just thought pretending to be angry would keep the content alive.

She was a Star.

Stars don’t get worked up over the affairs of mortals.

They only pursue their own enjoyment.

That’s why I’m Not Little’s viewers weren’t worried about her.

The most useless worries in the world are worrying about politicians and worrying about I’m Not Little.

Above all, the viewers knew I’m Not Little’s pattern well.

A continuous cycle of getting involved in incidents whenever she tried to do something, and then escaping from those incidents through incredibly bad luck.

I’m Not Little’s viewers thought this time would be the same.

“Ugh, I just came out to buy shampoo. Next time, I should order things through Heaven Delivery. You know? Heaven E-Mall, the shopping mall run by Heaven Delivery.”

-That name sounds a bit strange, streamer.

-Ah, she got sponsored and is doing so much PPL lol

-[Message deleted by moderator.]

“Shut up! Anyway, I should consider buying from there in the future—”

“Hey, little miss.”

I’m Not Little, apparently not afraid of the current situation, began confidently promoting the advertisement.

However, this behavior seemed provocative to the thieves, as the leader of the thieves growled at I’m Not Little.

“Do you think we’re joking? Huh?”

“No, think about it. This kind of thing should only happen once or twice, but every time I go out there are thieves, every time I go out incidents happen—isn’t the pattern getting tiresome?”

“…?”

The thief leader growled threateningly at I’m Not Little, but I’m Not Little, in a case of the pot calling the kettle black, got angry at the thief leader.

“I’m saying be more original, more original! So I can use it as content!”

I’m Not Little now growled at the thief leader like someone who was desperate to die.

The sight was similar to a Chihuahua seeing a stranger.

“…This little brat has a death wish.”

The thief leader spat on the ground in response to I’m Not Little’s provocation.

“Fine. I’ll kill you as you wish. Think of me, the thief leader, as you wail in the afterlife!”

The thief leader swung his knife toward I’m Not Little’s neck while delivering a line worthy of a third-rate villain.

Of course, naturally, that knife never reached I’m Not Little’s neck.

-?????

-What is that?

-Is it… a ball?

Because something like a ball rolled through the alley, knocking down or sending the thieves flying like bowling pins.

“…What is that?”

-Like we would know?

-Wow, but it’s really round.

I’m Not Little and her viewers were surprised by the sudden appearance of this ball and could only blink in confusion.

Then, suddenly, a voice came from the upper part of the ball!

“Hmm? You’re the one I saw back then…”

“Huh?”

I’m Not Little was startled by the sudden voice and raised her head toward the source of the sound.

And there was…

“Aren’t you I’m Not Little?”

“…Sir Dominic?”

-What?

-Sir Dominic?

-But why is he so fat?

“…It is Sir Dominic, right?”

It was a seriously overweight Sir Dominic.

“Um, could you move aside a bit?”

He was currently crushing the thief leader beneath him.
