Episode 10 · Plus-Sized Elf

Plus-Sized Elf

Tomoatsu Naoe spends his days kneading shoulders and backs at a massage clinic. Regular guy, regular job. Then a new client walks in, and she has pointed ears and a problem. Erufuda is an elf from another world, and she is not going back anytime soon. Not because of magic or a broken portal. Because of french fries. In her homeland, dinner meant fruit and vegetables, nothing else. Then she landed in Japan and found out about frying, salt, and convenience stores open all night. Naoe agrees to help her slim down so she can go home. She actually does it. She hits the goal. And then he runs into her again, and the pounds are back. Worse, she is not the only one. Other visitors from her world keep turning up with the same complaint and the same weakness for greasy food. So now Naoe is running what amounts to a support group for overweight fantasy creatures, one snack at a time. Can he really get them all in shape, and can Erufuda walk past a fryer without stopping?
