“Well I haven’t had a chance to do it yet, but with all the practice I’ve gotten done, I could wolf down a whole teenage girl if I wanted right now.” Once again, Konata spoke with her usual enthusiasm, never once acknowledging the true insanity of what she had just said, or the looks both Tsukasa and Miyuki were giving her. She completely missed the devious look on Kagami’s face, but when she rushed in to jab the accusing finger at her, all she got out was “Aha-” before Tsukasa slid right in front of her, and somehow she was left unaware that she had knocked her own sister to the ground.

“Wow Kona-chan…would you…really want to eat somebody?” Tsukasa asked. Although impressed, she was also finding herself becoming quite scared of her friend. Sure, Konata had freaked her out before, but never like this. Her words though made the man, or rather girl eating beast to stop smirking and actually think.

“I don’t know actually. I mean, I’m sure I could, but would I?” as pondered that, both Miyuki and Tsukasa breathed a sigh of relief, neither of them noticing the groan Kagami let out from her aching head. She remained on the floor as Konata chimed back into the conversation with “Yeah, I totally would.”

“You know, in some games, they actually let change the look of a character you are playing as. You could have the gain regain his health by eating nothing but pies or something and if you keep doing that, then the hero or heroine will just keep bloating up. Sometimes I wonder how come that bigger belly doesn’t let you eat people in the game. I mean, I can summon fireballs, spirits of the dead, and even stop time, but I can’t gobble somebody up? Where’s the logic in that?” while she once more had her friends on edge, Konata was just left grumbling over the lack of imagination on the part of the game programmers. Tsukasa was the first one to shake herself out of the frightened stupor, and even as someone who didn’t know much about games, knew to ask this “Are there any monsters or things that could eat you instead?”

“No, not even a giant plant. It’s so unfair.” Konata whined. It was bad enough that she had to be the one to go through this, but anyone else with the same new fascination as her had to be going through the same thing; it really sucked. Finally, Miyuki returned and decided to bring the conversation back to the previous topic.

“I don’t think I could eat an entire watermelon. The biggest thing I’ve ever eaten was an entire cake. I remember that it was my thirteenth birthday and I was going through a growth spurt. I remember keeping everyone back and then sudden pain I felt after eating the last bite.” She now regretted bringing that memory up, especially when the image of her younger self, face covered in frosting and with a big gut appeared next to her head. Naturally, Konata could see that, and when her giggling smirk slid onto the frame, saying “That explains the pink hair, piggy Miyuki.” The image of Miyuki suddenly sprouted little ears, a snout, and a tail, while the real thing sweated buckets and cutely and frantically tried to deny everything “No, no, no, it’s nothing like that!”

“I remember one time when I little, my dad came home from the store with some cookies. He told me they were for after dinner, but as soon as he left the room, I got into the bag. By the time, he came back, I was on the floor whining that I had a tummy ache. I mean sure, I ate all the cookies, but still.” Tsukasa also found herself becoming embarrassed, especially when she felt like she would do it all over again if she could. Now between both of the blushing girls, Konata deduced the following “Just as I thought; compared to me, you two are total lightweights.” While both of those girls gawked at such an insinuation, even though they should be happy that they don’t gorge themselves like their friend does now, someone else finally sprung back up.

“Oh give me a break.” once more, everyone found themselves under judging microscope of Kagami, but only the girl with the tightest clothes would endure her wrath “Konata, this is so completely stupid. Everybody’s taking your dumb joke too seriously, so can you please just drop it and move onto the next bit” If Kagami could just get some semblance of normalcy before class began, then she would be much happier, but that wasn’t going to happen until Konata for once didn’t act like herself. Rather than getting what she wanted though, Kagami got a frightening grin from her all of a sudden.

“I could eat you, you look tasty.” Konata said. All of a sudden, Kagami found herself becoming a little nervous as Konata licked her lips, but she shook her head and told her to stop being gross. Instead though, Konata put her hands on Kagami’s shoulders spoke like something wonderful was about to happen “You’ve got to stop hiding from it Kagami. Truth is stranger than fiction and the truth is out there. A new era is donning for us and I want you be a part of it. Embrace you’re destiny Kagami.”

“What are you talking about?!” Konata was really scaring Kagami now, but suddenly she let her go. Now free of chubby’s grip, she said to her friend “You want proof, fine. I’ll give you proof. Now let’s see, which character has overstayed her welcome, and needs to be written out?” Konata looked like she was thinking hard as she surveyed the room, and after Kagami sweatdropped and said “This isn’t a sitcom.” Konata spotted her proposed next meal.
