"!!!" Meatball was so angry that all its fur puffed up; it was already fat, now it's simply too much to even look at.
For many people, no matter how fierce an animal is, once it becomes associated with being fat, it becomes entirely different. Now Meatball is just like that; people used to think it was a wolf and were somewhat afraid of it, but now they see it puff up like a ball and they're not scared at all.
An aunt who sells dried fish and other dried goods nearby even came over and threw a thumb-sized dried fish to Meatball.
"..." Meatball.
Just as it was fiercely getting worked up, seeing the dried fish suddenly thrown in front of it, it didn't know what to do momentarily. Not eating it seemed unkind, but eating it seemed to damage its dignity, especially since this was its first appearance in this area. It had to hold itself together.
While Meatball was struggling, the butcher uncle nearby was still talking about breeding matters.
