Reu quickly calculated if he'd have enough space for the Apotnoth meat he promised to bring home to Goa, that Gore Magala he had incidentally fattened, gave sentience to, and subsequently befriended. She seemed to be settling in nicely to the caravan life, though admittedly all Goa did was literally sit around with the occasional foray into the local village for sight-seeing. Her naive mind often didn't register that she was, literally, the biggest sight to be seen wherever she went.

Of course, her size came with an appetite to match, and Reu regularly found himself bringing along an extra pouch to fill with meats from various herbivores, though Goa seemed to favor Apotnoth.

The ground shook slightly, prompting Reu to take cover in some rocks. It was just in time, too, as the rocks mere yards from Reu's hiding spot tumbled about and the enormous form of a Tetsucabra emerged.

Thankfully, it didn't see him immediately, and that was all the time he needed.

Reu unfolded his bow and grabbed a vial of what he called "Taming Coating." It was a coating from the same source that had given the odd lance, which had resulted in Goa.

Loading up the coating and nocking an arrow, he drew back the drawstring and aimed down the shaft. It wasn't difficult to find a good spot.

With a *thwft* the arrow flew and struck its target
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Reu walked towards the shrinking form of the Tetsucabra, alarmed. Goa had merely fattened and gained sentience, Reu hadn't expected such a drastic change THIS time.

The Tetsucabra's eyes opened, alarmingly human, and it sat upright, disturbingly human-like in its movement. Its shrinking ceased, but remained several heads taller than Reu, even kneeling as it was.

Reu sighed in relief when the Tetsucabra saw him and, also, did not display hostility. Instead of Goa's confusion, the Tetsucabra turned to observing its own body as the secondary effects kicked in.

The Tetsucabra's fattening was more hourglass, as just its bosom and buttocks swelled. There was a bit of pudge added to its belly, but just enough to balance out the blimping chest and posterior. It's breasts ceased their growth rather quickly, though still at a size to make any girl jealous, while her butt continued growing beyond.

She (as her growth indicated she was such) looked back in Reu's direction towards her posterior as it didn't show any signs of stopping. Her expression was obviously a mixture of confusion and pleasure as she batted her eyelashes. (When did she get eyelashes? Reu hadn't noticed them appear.)

The purr coming from her showed the pleasure she was feeling, despite her stoic expression. Reu stood back and holstered his bow, chin in hand as he thought.

"Y'know," Reu said as the Tetsucabra's butt continued to grow, "Kabura would be a good name for you."

The newly-christened Kabura turned (with slight difficulty due to her increasing assets) and blinked at him once.

"Y--you really think so?" Kabura said, stopping in shock that she could both understand and reply to the Hunter.

"I know so," Reu smiled, not missing a beat.
