Book 3 - Chapter 15: A Stomach's Limits
Shui, a competitive eating champion, wins a date with Boxxo as a prize. Curious about the ease with which she won the contest, he decides to test her limits.
With the organizers’ fervent gazes upon them, one fork-holding hand flies valiantly into the air before all the sand in the hourglass falls.
“Yeah, I’m finished!” With cream all over her mouth, Shui grins in satisfaction. It’s nothing short of incredible. The amount of food that disappeared into her stomach seemed like over half her body’s volume, but I’ll chalk that up to the secrets of a woman’s body. It’ll be my loss if I think about it too deeply.
“Yeaaaaahhhhh! You’re really somethin’, miss!” “You beat the Band of Gluttons?! Congratulations!”Incredibly, Shui says the words I’ve been longing to hear. She rubs her belly in satisfaction—which protrudes only a little—then leans back against her chair in bliss. Fu-ha-ha-ha-ha, I’ve done it! I’ve satisfied her stomach! I spent quite a bit doing it, but just knowing her stomach isn’t a bottomless pit is enough for me—
“I’ve been on a diet lately. I gained a little weight at the eating contest, so I’ve been calling it quits when I’m around fifty percent full.” What…did she just say? Fifty percent? That took me by surprise, but Lammis’s and Hulemy’s jaws drop to the floor as they stare in awe at Shui.
“That eating contest sure was fun. It would have been better if there was twice the amount of food.” I get it. I’m sorry. I humbly admit defeat.
