The Human Saint Is Bored, So I Was Summoned To Another World

*A few 'long sleeps' back…*

"I DON'T WANT TO BE SEEN LIKE THIS!" Her Holiness cried out desperately as Kuro and Lily watched her go on her tantrums. "I'M FAT AND I'M UGLY NOW!"

"Well, if I may be honest Your Holiness…" it was Kuro, "Even though you're like that, you're still cute—"

"Silence! I don't want anyone of you patronizing me!" The Saint declared in between her sobs. "I can't be seen by anyone else! They'll think of my beautiful old self, and then they'd think that I wasted my figure!"

"…" Kuro and Lily could only exchange amused looks.

"See?! You guys are making fun of me!"

"Come on, Maddie! Pull yourself together!" Lily sat beside her wailing friend. "We can still do something about your figure, I think?"

"Yep, you know, back in my world, we do this thing called 'exercise' or 'work-out'." Kuro explained. "It's a strenuous physical activity with the intent of wearing you down and making you sweat like crazy. In the process, you'll lose the deposits of fats in your body."

Her Holiness suddenly stood up and grabbed Kuro in an iron-vice grip, "TELL ME HOW TO DO IT! I'M DESPERATE HERE, SEE?" Her bloodshot eyes almost creeped him out.

"Well, for starters, we have to keep you on moving around. There's this activity called jogging." Kuro began demonstrating it, "It goes like this…"

The Saint and Lily began to copy what Kuro was doing. Then he slowly increased the jog rate, which they also emulated.

However, a few moments later, and the Saint was back on her bed, wailing her woes once again.

"I CAN'T DO IT! JOGGING IS VERY TIRING!"

"Well, it's too be expected. You're not that active in your lifestyle, eh." Kuro tried consoling her.

"I WON'T DO IT!" Her Holiness kept on her pathetic self, "HOW CAN YOU MAKE ME DO THAT EXHAUSTING ACTIVITY? I'D RATHER EAT CAKE!"

At that moment, Kuro felt something snap in his head. He grabbed the Saint on her shoulders in a vice-grip and propped her up in the bed.

"IF YOU DON'T SHAPE UP SOON, YOU'LL BE A PIG FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE." Kuro furiously whispered, "WOULD YOU RATHER LIKE US TO CALL YOU THAT?"

"Ayt. So, where should we jog?" Her Holiness had a change of heart faster than anyone could say 'knife'.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Ah, anyway, so you might be wondering how the Human Saint was able to get inside the carriage when she doesn't want to be seen in her current form.

Well, the answer for that is, Her Holiness is in disguise. You see, back when Kuro and Lily were trying to convince her to take a break, the Saint pointed out this situation as an excuse to stay. Lily, however, was able to see through her friend's intention and implied that she could go out in disguise for some time. Kuro got wind of that quick and she was again bombarded by pleas to get herself back into shape.

The plan worked. For everyone else who doesn't know the Saint's secret, she looks normal as before. Her Holiness is really vain when it comes to her physical appearance—just like her ancestor, and she has to put on a magic disguise every time she has to go out in public.

"…"

You may ask, 'Why didn't she use it during the seasonal mass?' It's because Her Holiness isn't that much well-versed in that kind of magic. She's always used to showing herself off in public gatherings, and to do things like that is something of a complete character change from her.

Lily even had difficulty in convincing Her Holiness to use it just for her to come out of her room.

She could only keep up her 'slim disguise' for some time—not like the Beastman Saint who even managed to fool a noble in Arles about her being a male slave. And so, knowing those conditions, Kuro has decided that while she keep up her 'fake appearance' to others, he'll help her trim back to her old figure as long as time permits it.

Like for example, back to that time one 'long sleep' after her secret became known to Kuro…

"Maddie! Have you already put on your disguise?" Lily asked as she put on her work clothes.

"Mmm…I did." she would answer in a half-asleep manner, all the while rubbing her eyes. "Lily, do we have to do this every time?"

"Mister Kuro says you should do some stretches before you go on a jogging! Good thing he knows what to do in your situation…else, that would be the end of the beautiful, slim Maddie that I know."

"Mmm…mmm…" Her Holiness' eyes were still droopy from the sleep.

"Well, you haven't put on your disguise! I could still see how fat you are!"

"!!!"

The Saint would become totally roused from her sleep by those words. It seems the word 'fat' has an 'adrenaline-inducing' effect on her.

Well, most ladies have that kind of ability though…

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Alright Your Holiness!" Kuro met her with a big smile at the courtyard in front of the Saint's Chambers. "I guess you're ready for—what the heck is with that dress?"

"It's what you've requested for, Mister Kuro!" Lily answered, "You told me that Her Holiness has to meet you here with her work clothes on."

"Uhh…Lily, I did say that she has to come here in her 'work clothes' but I think I made a mistake. Her Holiness' work clothes aren't the type that can be used for the activity that we're about to do. Do you think she could run in that long, c.u.mbersome, holy gown?"

"Oh? So you mean, that 'jogging' you're talking about is actually 'running'?"

"It's a level lower than running, but she has to be able to freely move, all the same. Please make her wear clothes that gives her that freedom of movement."

"Oh, okay I got it." The Head Maid then quickly led Her Holiness back into her room to change. A few moments later, they came back, with the Saint wearing a much shorter version of her earlier dress.

"…"

"So, what do you think, Mister Kuro?" Lily asked. Her Holiness' face was a bit red, and she was squirming a little when she came into his view.

"…"

"Mister Kuro?"

"Ah yes! Right, now, where was I?"

"Are you okay?"

"Y-yeah. It's just that I'm thinking of something else."

"Oh alright." Lily nodded in understanding, "So is this set of clothes okay?"

"Uhm…ye-yes!" he replied, quite awkwardly. Well, Kuro can't keep himself from blushing the moment he saw the Saint in the shorter version of her dress. I mean, even though she's in her disguise, her ample b.r.e.a.s.ts are still bulging out, and her legs display their smooth, silky white splendor.

To be honest, the Human Saint looks like a cute cheerleader right now.

And Kuro's mind is going haywire…

'Come on, Kuro, she's still a child.', he kept telling himself. 'She's a kid.'

But still, Kuro's battle with his hidden urges was a losing one…

'Come on, Kuro, she's wearing a disguise!', he then changed tactics, 'The Saint is actually a fat slob!'

"!!!"

A flying tree branch then hit Kuro in the head, much to Lily's surprise. Her Holiness just stood by, watching him, her face was red in embarrassment and annoyance.

It seemed like Kuro had forgotten that she can read minds.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Well, anyway, after making sure that Kuro didn't hurt himself that much from the flying tree branch—maybe Her Holiness healed him discreetly, they continued on their 'work-out'.

"Your Holiness, you should always count one to eight and then back every time you do this, so that you can keep track of your progress."

"One, two, three…haaa…" the Saint counted in between her labored breaths, "Four, five…haa…six…"

"Louder!"

"SEVEN! EIGHT!"

They went around the palatial gardens in circles, resting at different intervals so that Her Holiness doesn't exhaust herself too much. Lily watched them from a distance, with a pitcher of water on standby in case they have a need for it.

"Hey, Head Maid, what is Her Holiness doing? She looks so tired!" the little maid, Eris, asked her out of curiosity.

"Oh, hello, Eris! Well, Mister Kuro was helping Her Holiness keep her beauty." she replied. Of course, no one who knew about it would dare speak of the Saint's physical condition right now, on the pain of being cursed for his or her entire lifetime.

"Ahh…how does running slowly like that while counting loudly help?"

"Hmm…according to Mister Kuro, it's called 'jogging'. And what they are currently doing is part of what he calls a 'physical work-out'." Lily explained, "He explained to me earlier that doing such kind of activity from time to time burns fat in our body and keeps our figures in a healthy, slim shape."

"Oh…"

"That's what he said. Also, Mister Kuro has told me that there were more things like that that can be done in order to properly tone our bodies."

"Hmm…Mister Kuro really does have strange, but brilliant ideas in his mind."

"Indeed, he is. That's why he's a very important person to us."

The Head Maid and Eris kept on watching the pair continue on their activity until they eventually went to rest. For several 'long sleeps' they did the same thing over and over again, which was only interrupted when the time to go to the Saint's hometown in Fen finally arrived.

"…"

However, for the young maidens of the Holy Palatial Gardens, Kuro's 'physical work-out' became a hot topic. And very soon, battalions of maids and guards can be seen 'jogging' around the palatial grounds, in an effort to keep their bodies 'beautiful and slim'.
