Description

The Empress of the Park and the Demonic Dinner Tomoatsu, Elfuda, Kuroeda, and Oga are at a park where Oga engages positively with the children. She soon becomes infatuated with Kobo, an ill-tempered kobold who has claimed the playground as her territory and demands candy from the group to allow them to continue using it. Kobo justifies her actions by stating that she was abandoned by her parents and is simply trying to survive. However, Elfuda observes that her physique suggests otherwise, noting that someone truly starving would not have such excess weight. When she finds herself stuck in a playground tire after struggling to dodge Elfuda's arrows, Tomoatsu recommends that Kobo engage in facial exercises and adopt a healthier diet. In return for these suggestions, Kobo agrees to honor her promise to Tomoatsu not to misbehave any further. Later, at Smiley Boar, Elfuda notices Tomoatsu's own weight gain, prompting Tomoatsu to embark on a weight loss regimen, which proves ineffective. He eventually discovers that the source of his weight gain was a satyr named Satero, who had hypnotized him into overeating in order to feed off his avarice. Kuroeda and Elfuda step in to assist him, with Elfuda using her arrows to forcibly remove Satero's clothing, causing her to flee in embarrassment. Recognizing that satyrs have a strong bond with their prey, Elfuda suggests that all the mythical beings under Tomoatsu's care reside with him for his protection, while Satero observes from a distance near his apartment.
