Starting the scene where Nawa is cleaning up the mess he has recently made.*
"And... there. *Rubs sweat in his forehead* Phew. Now, my work here is done. Hehehe.", Nawa compiled all the cleaning materials he laid down.
Nawa's stomach growling*
"*Looks at his belly* Oh. Hehehe. I must've eaten a lot. (If only Krepte was here, he would eat the specialty I'd made for him.) But, oh well.", he didn't mind it as he already knew the reaction of his stomach.
Upon picking up all the materials, he leaves from the living room and heads to the kitchen where he can safely place all of those items back.
Nawa briefly opens the door and then closes.*
Closing door sounds*
Changing the scene to Nawa walking along the hallway.*
Nawa's stomach moves slightly*
"*Looks at his belly* Hm. *Taps his belly* Ah. That's better. *Chuckling*", he could feel himself full as he had eaten plenty of food.
Changing the scene to Nawa's face chuckling and zooming into his mouth, down to his throat.*
Inside Nawa's stomach*
Meanwhile, Krepte is in trouble as he is cornered by the three, who are known to him. There are no other options for him to escape as he has leaned himself to the rugae, which are the wrinkled wall parts of Nawa's stomach. Of course, he has to be careful as the rugae are producing more stomach acid, to be able to reinforce Nawa's digestion.
Dialogue*
: Just give up, Krepte! We've finally gotten you!
: Hehehe. I can't believe Nawa betrayed you for that. Hahaha. Serves you right, Krepte!
: Now let's settle this, once and for all, Krepte!
The three are now going to beat out Krepte.*
Krepte: ... W-wait! Before you beat me, how did you get here in Nawa's belly?
: Pfft. You already forgot how we ended up here? You idiot!
: Do you remember the time when we attempt to swipe your "precious" teddy bear which you always bring in our school?
: And we beat you really hard until that big moron came to rescue you.
Krepte: Hm? Let me remember...
Flashback*
Back in the time when they were all young, taking a break during junior high school days*
Young Krepte: *Humming* You'll be safer now teddy! So no monsters will ever follow us here.
Somewhere around the corner.*
Young : Heh. This will be easy for me.
He thrusts forward as if he wants to get something from the young Krepte.*
He successfully steals the teddy bear from the young boy.*
Young Krepte: Hey! Give that back, Leonard!
Young Leonard: Catch, Roland! *Throws the teddy bear at Roland.*
Young Roland: *Successfully catches the toy* Hehehe. Gotcha!
The two quickly run away from the young Krepte.*
Young Krepte: Oh, come on! What are you going to do with my toy? Give that back right!
The two boys are laughing.*
Young Leonard: CATCH US IF YOU CAN, BABY KWEPTE!!
Two young boys laugh*
Young Krepte: Grrr... *Runs after them*
While running, he suddenly hears a student crying in the closet.*
Young : Anyone *Sobs* Please help me, get out! *Sobs*
Instead of chasing those bullies, young Krepte has decided to let someone out of his captivity. There, a small monster has come out of the closet. Usually, the young Krepte is scared of those types of creatures. However, he gazes at the monster, only to find out that he is crying.*
Young : *Snorts* T-thank y-you, m-my friend. Those meanies put me in the closet for being a scary monster. *Sobs*
Young Krepte: S-same here, my friend. Those bullies took my t-toy. I n-need to stop them.
Young : *Snorts* A-alright, my friend. Go after them.
Young Krepte: Thanks. *Goes to a detour*
Young : *Sobs* (A-at least, someone helps me in this s-school...)
Changing the scene to young Krepte running after the two.*
Young Krepte: (Oh good. I found them... but why did they stop in this place? This place is already forbidden by the school authority. But why.)
The young Krepte decides to conceal himself from them.*
Young Krepte: (Hm. What are they going to do with my teddy?)
He watches carefully as he has seen another person who quickly approaches towards them.*
Young Krepte: (Someone's coming.)
Changing the scene to the three where they are about to talk with one another, regarding their plan.*
Young : Well, did you find something useful from that childish Krepte?
Young Leonard: You bet, Gust! We got his pathetic teddy bear, right here?!
Young Ronald: *Laughs* You miss the moment when you can see his lame expression by the time we swipe this stupid thing.
Young Gust: What are we going to do with his teddy?
Young Leonard: *Chuckles* We should tell this to our classmates about him for being a baby.
Young Roland: Yeah!
Young Gust: Excellent, Leonard!
Someone's shouts*
Young Krepte: HEY!! Let that go of my teddy!
Young Gust: What are you going to do, tell us to the teacher?
The three laughs comically.*
Young Roland: Telling it like a baby! Goo-goo-gah-gah
The three laughs more.*
Young Krepte: *Cries* Just give me back my toy! My mom gave it to me! *Sobs*
The three laughs at the crying Krepte*
Young : Hey! Let that go!
Young Gust: Who said that!
Young : Me!
The three turns their head and they see a young monster facing them bravely.*
Young Ronald: Is that the monster we lock him out for being different?
Young : Let his teddy go, Now!
Young Leonard: Or what?
Young : Y-you ask for this. *Bellows loudly*
Nearby furniture has been blown out by his tremendous growl.*
The other four are trying to resist such powerful roar, coming out from the monster.*
Young Leonard: Time to run!
The three are trying to escape from the monster as they realize that they have made him angry.*
Young : Oh no, you don't! *He widely opens up his mouth, inhaling all things near him.*
Consequently, the three are being pulled back towards the monster as they haven't had a plan of breaking themselves out. They are able to hold on by grabbing anything durable.
Young Roland: Gust, do something! We're getting eaten by that ugly thing!
Young Gust: We need to... *His hands slip.* Oh. *Screams*
Changing the scene to the monster's maw from the inside.*
Gust, who is screaming, has been forcibly entered inward to the dragon's mouth.*
Changing the scene to the two who are now being inhaled into the monster's mouth.*
The two begs for help from the young Krepte. However, Krepte is terrified that he has nothing to do but to watch them being vacuumed into the depths of the monster.*
Young Krepte: (No... I can't help them. He's too powerful )
Changing the scene to the monster's mouth sucking the two inward.*
Young Leonard and Young Ronald: NOOO!!!!!!
The monster's mouth suddenly closes upon successfully inhaled the two.*
Young : *Gulp* Ah. Tasty...
Changing the scene to young Krepte who is unable to move as he has witnessed sudden incident.*
Young Krepte: *Slowly moves backward*
Young : P-Please don't be scared, my friend. I-I won't do that to you, unlike them.
Young Krepte: B-b-but... Did you actually eat them?!
Young : *Approaches to Krepte* Y-yes. T-they're the ones who encase me in that... c-closet.
Young Krepte: *Sighs depressive*
Young : W-what's wrong, my friend?
Young Krepte: I've lost my friend, teddy. He is the one who wants to protect me from monsters.
Young : Oh...
Young Krepte: I'm sorry, my friend. You're the only one exempted to that.
Young : Ah. T-that's a relief. I'm gonna cry if you haven't said that.
Young Krepte: Let's just change the discussion. Who are you?
Young : I'm Nawa, an exchange student from monsters' junior high. I-I decided to act like a normal human and who wants to befriend them, just like you. Who are you, too?
Young Krepte: I'm Krepte, the "coolest" (read: self - proclaimed) guy in school.
Young Nawa: *Chuckles* You're honestly funny, to be honest.
Young Krepte: Aww. Anyway, is your gut feeling okay after you inhaled those bullies?
Young Nawa: *Looks at his belly and pats gently* It'll be fine, my friend. Come on, we have to go back to our class.
Young Krepte: Oh yeah! Wanna come with me, my friend?
Young Nawa: O-of course! B-but I wanted to ask you. W-will you be my closest friend? Y-you make me hopeful befriending humans, like you. M-my monster friends doesn't believe me about it.
Young Krepte: *Looks at Nawa's friendly eyes* (I'm sorry, teddy. Forgive me.) Alright, Nawa. I finally moved on from the lost of my teddy. *Sobs*
Young Nawa: Ah. F-finally! I've totally met someone as friendly as you. Oh and, I'm sorry for that. I didn't mean swallowing up your teddy. T-think of me as if I-I fuse with him.
Young Krepte: I get it. From now, I'll help you interact with my fellow kind. Let's go before the personnel might come here!
The two finally leave the abandoned part of the school.*
Flashback ended*
Back to the present*
Krepte is still struggling upon being cornered by the three and currently leaned on Nawa's rugae.*
Krepte: Nggh... (It's them! How are they able to survive themselves inside Nawa?)
Gust: Heh. This guy is having a hard time remembering us.
Leonard: Guess this guy is really dumb! *Laughing*
Roland: He's still a baby at best. Hey, Krepte! Remember this stupid teddy of yours? *Shows Krepte's old teddy bear*
Krepte: (He still has my toy!)
Roland: *Chuckling* Looks like your teddy is on our side now. *Laughing*
Krepte: ...
Gust: What's the matter, kid? Betrayed by your precious friend?
Krepte: (Ngh...) Hmph.. No... not anymore..
Leonard: Oh - hoh. Tough guy, huh?! Now that's what I like from you.
Gust: Ready for another beat up, Krepte? *Crackling his fingers*
Krepte: I... I... Hey, look over there! Is that the food Nawa is eating?
The three: Where?
Krepte: *Runs away*
Roland: Hey! Get back here!
The chase around Nawa's stomach has started.*
Dialogue ended.*
Krepte has fooled the three for the incident as he is able to escape from them and out of rugae of Nawa's stomach. From there, he runs himself along the acid shore within the organ. Although, Krepte knows that he might run in circles as Nawa's stomach is like a prison chamber, containing all the food for digestion (and people to be somewhat captive).
Krepte is running for his life.*
"(I need to hide somewhere. *Panting* But where? *Panting*)", Krepte desperately searched for anything suspicious.
"Come back here, you idiot!", one of his bullies had spotted him.
He continues to run, despite being exhausted. He proceeds to another side of the monster's stomach where he hasn't explored in there, just yet. Whilst moving away from those bullies, he can see the dead end of the other side as there are more rugae, secreting more stomach acid which can help Nawa to digest the food.
Krepte looks at the rugae flowing the acid down to the pool like a waterfall. In addition, he sees what Nawa has recently eaten.*
"*Panting* (I guess that's the specialty he brags me about. It smells good, though. But should I hide myself in it?)", he was making an idea by concealing himself.
As his body is losing much energy because of fleeing, he jumps from the acid shore and goes into the mentioned food. From there, he tries to blend himself as he can the bullies nearby.
Roland looks around.*
"Now where did wittle Krepte go?", his head kept turning as if he was eager to spot Krepte.
Suddenly, his head turns right at the food where Krepte has hid himself from him. He describes the food to be somewhat suitable for any people who want to hop in, just for fun. He deeply suspects that Krepte is hiding in the food, so he decides to check the food out.
Roland is supposedly going to leap into the food. On the contrary, he immediately changes his mind.*
"Hmph. This food can't last long enough.", Roland decided to walk away from it.
Meanwhile, Krepte gladly relieves upon seeing the person walking away from his current hideout. He asks himself about the last opinion he has heard from him. He admits himself he isn't smart enough to know about the innards of someone's body.
The food is shaking slowly.*
"(Huh? I feel the food is somehow sinking. What's going on?)", he looked down at the acid pool.
He notices the depth level of the acid rising as the latter is able to reach the floor of the food. Upon reaching the thing, it begins to break down the food as if the process is getting started.
"(I have to get out of this food.)", he quickly got out of the food.
He realizes that the food is starting to melt itself. Krepte sees the rugae, now moving progressively, as it produces more acid while maintaining its alignment. He can tell that the process of Nawa's digestion is just getting started.
Krepte jumps out successfully before the food, which he has used for hideout, finally succumbs to melt.*
"(Phew. That was close. I have to get out from this big guy's guts. But how?)", he looked at the secreting rugae.
In addition, the ground is subsequently rumbling. The shore is getting flooded as the acid is able to reach the high ground. As a result, Krepte evacuates himself by finding higher ground, whilst hiding from those three.
Krepte runs swiftly and the acid has started consuming the lower ground of Nawa's stomach.*
Concealing the innards and zooming out from Krepte's belly.*
Outside Nawa.*
Nawa's belly is growling.*
"Hm? Strange. I've never experienced this growl go loud that much. Heh. I guess I can adjust those foods I recently ate. *Chuckles*", he didn't mind his belly getting slightly upset.
Although, it isn't concerning with that in his body. In order to change the topic on his own, Nawa arranges the cleaning materials coherently. From there, he separates all the recently used up materials from those things which are tidy.
"I suppose I can wash them up later. Right now, I have to clean those dishes, first.", Nawa closed the closet upon deciding to do other necessary chores.
Closing the closet sounds.*
Changing the scene to the sink which has been filled up by the utensils.*
Nawa approaches in.*
"*Sigh* I really should use less plates from now on.", he learned his lesson.
Although he complains about the dishes getting piled up in the sink, he picks the sponge and uses the liquid to wash all the stains covered in each of those utensils. He initially intends to wash all the glasses, cups and mugs, which the mentioned things are definitely the cleanest among the dishes. Even if those things are surprisingly clear from those stains, Nawa wants to assure it to be more transparent, as it should be.
Nawa has clearly scrubbed the glass and has proceeded to pick up another of it.*
Nawa's gut growls.*
Changing the scene to Nawa's face.*
"Hm. Even my gut is complaining. *Sigh*", Nawa admitted he didn't want to do dishes.
Nawa remains sighing.*
Zooming into Nawa's mouth down to his stomach.*
Inside Nawa's stomach*
On the other hand, Krepte successfully flees from the rising acid as he has reached the higher ground. Albeit, he actually runs in circles as if the monster's stomach has a staircase. From there, there are more rugaes which are thicker and studier than the ones below. Unlike the previous, which Krepte has passed by, those wrinkled parts extract more intense acid.
"(I can already feel trouble if I stay here long enough. Hm. I wonder if those bullies are able to evacuate themselves away from the acid.)", he admitted he felt frightened, should he see those people again.
Eventually, something has snapped him as he looks suspicious on those rugaes. He is able to spot some holes which are naturally not present in the rugaes. Even though the rugae has obvious function, the hole is supposed to be microscopic.
Krepte gently rubbing the hole in the wall lining of Nawa's stomach.*
"(Hm. It looks like someone has lived here and is able to survive from digestion. But how can they do that to my friend?)", Krepte intuitively thought to himself about it.
He is continuously rubbing the hole as he reveals the concealed passage where it can lead somewhere in Nawa's stomach.*
Changing the scene to Nawa where he has recently done the dishes.*
Nawa finally puts all the dishes back coherently.*
"Phew. That took long enough to work with it. *His belly is shaking aloof.* Mmff. *Chuckles* What's going on? *Chuckles* I feel like I'm being tickled. *Chuckles* These foods must've hit my funny bone. *Chuckles*", he quickly placed his hand onto his stomach as he had been stimulated on the inside.
The monster tries to find a way to stop the meddling sensation in his body. He goes to the bathroom and he remembers something that might relieve the trigger in him.
Nawa continuously giggling.*
Changing the scene to Krepte*
As soon as Krepte continuously clears the path, he can feel Nawa's stomach, intensely moving. Upon realizing his action, he subsequently stops doing it. He already knows of Nawa's unpredictability.
"I must've tickled my friend from here. *Looks at the hole, which is now accessible for him to enter.* Luckily, I'm in. Time to see myself beyond this section.", Krepte entered through the hole.
Upon entering, the hole is getting closed as the rugae has formed a lining that conceals the entrance. Thus, the hole is now concealed, once again.*
"Hm. It feels warm here.", Krepte continued to explore deeper.
He can tell himself that he has entered a hidden chamber, deep within his friend's stomach. He intuitively makes reasons about his friend being a friendly giant. Although, some people are afraid of him because of his size.
"Now I know why his body is capable of creating chambers, just to occupy those gaps between his organs.", he concluded the reasonings.
Krepte suddenly hears someone walking in the chamber.*
"Hm? That's strange. I hear footsteps, aside from myself.", he looked and slowly moved forward.
While going deeper, the muscular stomach walls are surprisingly pumping more intensely than the outside. Unlike the outside, the muscular walls and rugae are decently moist. Krepte is confident enough to go on without worrying about those acids that much.
Krepte is walking decently while proceeding with caution. He finally enters another chamber, located somewhere in Nawa's stomach.*
"*Gasps* (No way. How did those people end up here?!)", he was surprised as he couldn't believe what he had seen.
Strangely, there are people, doing their usual business as if they never bother being eaten by Nawa. He can see children playing around, people drinking with their friends, people working on those flesh to maintain the stability of the the organ and more.
Krepte tries to approach the closest person but he hesitates to talk with her.
"(Hm. She looks familiar to me. I can recall Nawa inhaled her for a good reason.)", he thought himself.
He silently walks back from her, just to prevent confronting her unexpectedly. While walking, he notices that most people there are definitely familiar, just like his first encounter with that lady, though he hasn't talked to her. His expression has turned down upon recalling some of them.
He turns down his head, so no one may able to look his familiar face.*
"(It would be better not to let them know I ended up here.)", Krepte hid himself briefly.
He goes somewhere, just to conceal his identity. He realizes that the people are actually the ones who tease Nawa and him. Although some of them are not that rude for the two, Krepte still considers them to be rude.
"(I'm surprised they lived and stayed here for a long time. Nawa usually spits them out after he inhales them in him. How do they manage to hold themselves, though?)", he actually praised those people's efforts of resisting themselves from his friend's expulsion.
In order to gather information, he blends in to the society. He listens to other people's conversations upon learning how those citizens have maintained their establishment without adverse effects towards Nawa. Moreover, he can see some people selling products which are quite rare outside Nawa.
"(Hm. I guess Nawa has eaten a lot of things other than them.)", Krepte remarked on how Nawa inhaled those.
Setting aside, he looks at those children playing around on the village square upon arriving at it. Those children are trying to trigger a lump - like flesh in which Krepte barely knows about it.
"Weeee!"
"Yahoo!"
"Oh my, this lump is fun to jump!"
Those children must've treated the lump like a trampoline. Krepte secretly worries whether it might trigger Nawa upon being stimulated by such action.
Krepte conceals his face.*
"(I wonder how Nawa is feeling right now.)", he wanted to know about his friend when the latter had been stimulated by them.
Children continuously jump joyfully.*
Changing the scene to Nawa*
Nawa is humming whilst walking along the hallway.*
Now that the chores have recently settled by Nawa, he decides to relax by going back to the living room. From there, he looks around to see if something sparks his interest, just to prevent from being bored.
Nawa puts his hand onto his neck while thinking of a way to keep up his mood.*
Now, where is the remote? I can't even remember where I hid it. Hm... Think, Nawa think. You can do this.", he tried to recall the exact location where the remote was hidden.
Nawa thinks deeply. Eventually, his belly slightly wiggles from inside.*
"Mmff?! *Chuckles* Oh, I remember now! *Looks at his belly* Thank you, my gut. *Chuckles* That really tickles, though.", Nawa rubbed his stomach before he finally found what he was looking for.
Nawa searches the remote on the gaps between two small couches.*
"Haha! Found it!", he happily picked up before he closed the gaps.
Nawa places something which can occupy those gaps to be closed.*
Changing the scene to Nawa taking a seat on his couch.*
Upon sitting, he turns on the television as he begins searching for any programs suitable for his preference. As he finally chooses the desired programs, he leans himself on the couch while he enjoys watching comfortably.
Nawa's belly rumbling progressively.*
Changing the scene to Nawa's face.*
"*Chuckles* It looks like my gut is telling me something. It takes me long enough to finally relax myself. Cheers Nawa!", Nawa was satisfied as he could save more energy for later.
Nawa is sighing.*
Zooming into Nawa's mouth.*
Inside Nawa's stomach*
Krepte looks up, only to see the tissues moving rapidly.*
"(Heh. Nawa sure is tickled by them.)", he figured it out before it happened
Upon proceeding to the next area, Krepte is quite surprised. Different to the previous place he has recently explored, only few people have occupied the section. Furthermore, he chills himself as if the people are gazing at him fiercely.
"(Even though Nawa's stomach is quite warm, why is this place so unusually cold? These people...) *Shivering*", Krepte immediately covered his face, just to be sure those people weren't able to recognize him.
Krepte conceals himself into the shadows, in order to prevent himself from getting attention to those people.*
Luckily, the people have turned their heads as if they are hallucinating themselves seeing Krepte, who continuously walks by. Krepte, on the hand, reliefs as his chilling sensation has suddenly stopped freezing his senses.
"(Phew. Good thing I hide myself in the shadows. *Touches Nawa's stomach tissue* These excessive fats must've helped me cover my traces and my silhouettes.)", he thankfully commended Nawa's stomach for concealing.
Krepte grabs gently the tissue of Nawa's stomach wall whilst walking slowly. Krepte reaches "dead end" of the town.*
"(It's dead end. I can't go any further from here.)", Krepte thought himself.
Instead of leaving, he looks gazingly at the flesh as there is something conspicuous in those walls. Fortunately, he notices that the flesh of the "dead end"wall appears to have unusual color.
Krepte puts his right hand onto his chin and he is currently investigating such peculiar walls.*
Krepte notices that the wall has secretes a strange liquid, coming out from the other side. He takes a sample by squeezing the flesh gently and filling it on the empty bottle, preventing Nawa from getting reacted.*
"(Hm. *Sniffs* This liquid is quite different. It smells like fragrant juice or something.)", Krepte suspected the sample.
Perhaps he thinks about the other side to be another room where the access is deemed limited to most people, living in his friend's stomach. He thinks deeply on how to open the wall without hurting Nawa.
Krepte turns his head down as if the flesh starts to feel unusual.*
"(There must be some sort of switch here. I'm sure of it.)", he looked any objects that would trigger the wall.
The wall moves strangely.*
"(*Gasps* Someone's coming out!)", Krepte went back to the darkness, just in the corner of the wall.
Upon hiding in darkness, the wall strangely reveals a hidden passage. Krepte is surprised as someone has recently come out of it. In addition, the person, coming from the other side of the stomach wall, is carrying a bottle which contains a substance.
"(Hm. Perhaps a local has bought that thing from there. I should go and check it out.)", Krepte critically observed the movement of it.
Whilst Krepte keeps an eye on the local, the latter is looking for something as the person tries to remember about closing the wall, preventing any unwanted people from going through. For sure, Krepte may take benefits, once he has known how the wall opens.
Changing the scene to the local.*
"Ah. There you are. *Flicks* Hehe. Now, closing the wall.", a local flicked a lump on the center.
Subsequently, the stomach wall is now concealing the secret passage that leads to another side of it.*
The local picks up the bottle and leaves.*
Krepte comes out from his hideout.*
"(Now's my chance to enter.)", Krepte quickly ran as it was the only chance to enter.
Fortunately, Krepte successfully jumps into the secret passage as the wall has completely closed.*
The wall clears out all the things posted there.*
Changing the scene to Nawa watching the television*
Meanwhile, the monster is quite enjoying his time watching his preferred program as it satisfies his mood fairly. Although, the program has come to the conclusion that Nawa needs to change the channel, in case he doesn't like the next show after the recent program, which is now currently showing its credits.
"*Yawn* Awww, the show's over. It looks like I have to find another channel again.", Nawa didn't hesitate to change the channel.
Obviously, he already knows the next program which it might dissatisfy him. He continues to find the show until he has find another one, similar to the genre he likes the most.
He puts down the remote on the side of the couch.*
"*Chuckles* Finally! *His stomach growls* Hehehe. That tickles.", Nawa put his hand onto his gut upon rubbing gently.
Although he doesn't mind his gut mildly growling, he can feel himself full as he has eaten a plenty amount for food.
The show starts by introducing the prologue.*
"Ah. I already like where this is going.", Nawa was impressed of the prologue.
Nawa chuckling whilst rubbing his belly gently.*
Zooming into his belly.*
Inside Nawa*
Krepte has easily passed through the passage. Thus, he enters the next room.*
"(*Gasps* No way! Is that what I think it is?!)", Krepte was surprised.
As he sees, there are more people hanging around in the chamber by the time he has recently arrived. The people in the chamber are surprisingly enjoying themselves as if they don't mind being inhaled by his friend, Nawa. Some of them are spending their time telling their stories to their friends while some of them are just eating, or perhaps drinking beverages.
Krepte further conceals his identity.*
"(How did they get all of those stuffs here in my friend's stomach? It's ridiculous in my opinion.)", he was confused how they get that much food.
He sits on the nearest chair and makes order to the bartender, just to further prevent himself from overthinking about it. While the bartender is preparing the order for him, he can see some bottles of beverages containing familiar to him.
"(Hm. I guess I have to rest my case for a while.)", he realized that he needed to chill himself.
Bartender formally mixes the ingredients in perfection.*
"Here you go! Drink is served!", the bartender handed the beverage over to Krepte.
Krepte, on the other hand, has accepted the drink and he gladly thanks the bartender for the service he has rently rendered. While he holds the glass, Krepte rotates his chair counterclockwise in order to check the others.
Dialogue*
Krepte is listening to the joyful sounds of the people in the secretive chamber.*
Krepte: Hm. It looks like they're having fun in this monster's hatch.
Bartender: Yep. You said it, pal.
Krepte turns his head to the bartender.*
Krepte: Hm?
Bartender: My apologies, young one.
Krepte: That's fine for me, Mr. Bartender.
Bartender: Hm... *Looks crucially at Krepte* I don't ever remember you here. *Thinks deeply* You're new here, aren't you?
Krepte: *Sigh* Yeah, sort of.
Bartender: Did that monster inhale you down here?
Krepte: No, he didn't. He accidentally ate me whole.
Bartender: Ah. I see, young one. *Mixing brews and gives the brew to another customer.* You're lucky he didn't chomp you into bits. Most of the survivors here were inhaled instead. Although, I would say all of the people here are inhaled by the monster. Tch. Stupid monster.
Krepte: By the way, how do we get out?
Bartender: Heh. I'm sorry to tell you that I honestly do not know. I've been here for years now.
Krepte: Wait what?!
Bartender: Yeah. I was just a victim, you know. You see...
The Bartender has told Krepte a lengthy story before his arrival in Nawa's body.*
Krepte: Oh, It looks awful.
Bartender: Heh. I don't blame that monster, at all, although my mind is telling me so. I can tell he's just struggling to fit himself into our human society.
Krepte: ... *Sips the beverage*
Bartender: What's the matter, kid?
Krepte: *Puts the glass on the table* *Sigh* I hope that monster needs to change himself, even though he is physically mature.
Bartender: Just let him be, friend. He is the only one who can decide for himself whether he is eager to change himself or not. *Cleans the table* Hmm.. You seem not to expose your face, are you shy or something?
Krepte: (*Gasp* Just don't do it, Krepte. Never show yourself to them.) I... I... I can't...
Bartender: Why not? *Mixes the beverages and gives it to another customer.*
Customer #1: Thanks, pal! *Sips the beverage*
Customer #1 goes onto one of the tables.*
Krepte: I don't feel... safe myself here.
Bartender: Ah. So you're afraid of meeting with people here.
Krepte: Sort of...
Bartender: Fair enough... And I thank you for that. It feels good to talk with someone here, right in the belly of the beast. *Chuckles* *Puts something back to its rightful place.
Krepte: You're welcome. *Picks up glass and drinks up.*
Bartender: *Murmuring Krepte*
Krepte: *Nods slowly as he understands.* Thank you.
Bartender: *Vows* Have a drink, my friend.
Dialogue Ended*
Krepte looks up to his glass, just to see if there is still left. He is able to see his reflection because the clear liquid has remained in the glass. He closes his eyes and drinks all what it has left, just to give the utensil back to the bartender.
Krepte sips the last drop of beverage.*
"Ah. *Puts the glass on the desk.* That was tasty.", Krepte was happy he had experienced such a delicate liquid he drank.
"Hm. Thank you...", the bartender heard his appreciation as if he felt happier than ever.
Upon leaving the desk, Krepte is hoping to stay elsewhere whilst keeping a low profile to those people. He stands up and looks at all the people who are still enjoying their past time. He secretly questions them whether they do have something else other than just spending most of their time staying in the hidden chamber of the monster's stomach.
Changing the scene to concealed Krepte*
"(Hm. It seems they don't have the intention of trying to get out of Nawa.)", Krepte commented on those locals.
Krepte decides to leave the area as he can feel any threats lurking around the place. He uses the path where he has used to get in. However, it might be tricky for Krepte as the pathway is now concealed by the time he has passed through.
"(Darn it! I need to find a way out of here. I don't want those three to spot me here.)", Krepte kept turning his head sideways just to prevent himself from being detected.
Simultaneously, Nawa's suspicious stomach wall twitches rapidly as if someone is triggering it.*
"Man! Krepte is really getting on my nerves."
"Gggrrr... That guy really makes me angry!"
Apparently, Krepte has heard those voices familiar to him. His skin is getting goosebumps as he is already chilling himself. He is hesitant to use the concealed path to get him out.
"(*Gasp* It's them! I must hide!)", Krepte silently ran into those crowds, just to blend in.
The wall has opened.*
Upon arrival, the three look unhappy as they have failed catching Krepte back in Nawa's main section of his stomach. Leonard, the leader of the three, seems to be peeved about the situation that he looks at Roland fiercely.
"But those acids are rising. How can I search him in those areas?!", Roland explained why he couldn't go after Krepte.
"*Growl* Just shut up, Roland! I don't even care if this stupid monster's gut is going to digestus. I just want to get that moron for getting us inhaled by him (read: Nawa). I already trapped the monster in the closet, just to prevent anyone in our school being inhaled by him. *Growl*", Leonard was getting annoyed at Roland voice as he wanted to beat him up in his mind.
Leonard raises his fist onto Roland's face as if he wants to do something on his friend.*
"Whoah! whoah! Chill out, Leo! He isn't getting away from Nawa's gut. That guy must've been somewhere here. He isn't knowledgeable about this place. Maybe we could have a drink at the bartender's.", Gust suggested the peeved leader, just to cool his head.
Leonard has remained silent as he is trying to control his mood. Instead of maintaining his fist on the same level as Roland's face, he slowly depresses it down and makes a threatening look.
"*Sigh* Fine... I'm giving you another chance of this, Roland. That Krepte really tears our friendship here.", Leonard had let it slip off.
The three decide to approach the bartender.*
"Ah! Welcome back, you three! How can I help you?", the bartender greeted the three as he was already familiar with them.
Albeit, the bartender has seen Leonard's aggressive expression before the latter approaches him. He keeps things to be as usual as he needs to act naturally. Though, he wants to know the person who they go after.
"Just serve us his (read: Leonard) favorite beverage. We want our boss to calm himself down.", Gust ordered the menu.
As a response, the bartender doesn't hesitate to prepare the serving immediately. But first, he puts up three glasses and he serves water, in order for the three to relieve their distress from their failure.
The bartender amuses the three by combining all the raw beverages in a stylish way.*
"Look it up, boss! This bartender is too good to do his job!", Gust showed their leader about it.
Eventually, Leonard turns his current mood upside down as he is impressed at the bartender's entertainment mixing all of it. He stares at those items and hopes that those items must fall down for comic relief. Although, he prefers his favorite beverage to be served sooner.
The bartender has done mixing and pour the liquid down to each glasses equally.*
"Enjoy!", the bartender served the mentioned drink timingly.
Leonard looks down to his glass as the beverage has a perfect texture suitable to his taste. He quickly grabs the glass and starts to drink up at a suitable volume amount of liquid.
Leonard is gulping upon drinking the liquid down.*
"*Gulp* Ah. This drink is really nice. I can stay here for a while and forget that you know who (read: Krepte)", Leonard finally calmed down.
Gust insists Leonard to relax, so that he is able to recharge himself and resumes pursuing the specific person whom they go after. The bartender, on the other hand, prepares another batch, in case Leonard wants more of it.
Changing the scene to Krepte.*
Meanwhile, Krepte is slightly struggling as he is unable to get out of the hidden chamber, even though he already blends into the crowd. Furthermore, he already knows most of the crowd due to the fact that those people have unpleasant behaviour towards the two.
Krepte hides himself by crawling under the tables."
"(Man, these people stink. Have they ever taken a bath for once?)", Krepte was peeved of the odor.
Aside from the odor, the chemicals from Nawa's stomach have worsened the smell within the crowded area. Because of this, Krepte tightly covers his face as the stench can be nauseating to him. Despite that, he is more willing to endure the stench than to get caught by the three.
Krepte has successfully crawled out from the crowd.*
Upon standing up, he can see the crowd not noticing his presence. Although he is confident enough to remove his concealment due to the fact that the other side is hotter than near the entrance, he insists to be cautious about his identity. As a result, Krepte partially wears off some attire just to make him breathe comfortably.
Krepte faces the end wall.*
"(Now what part did the bartender say to me? I'm sure he gave me hints of getting out.)", Krepte tried to recall their conversation with the one who had chatted with him back.
He examines the wall by touching carefully, just to ensure Nawa isn't getting tickled with such stimulations. He moves his hand slowly as he searches for something conspicuous within the end wall of the hidden chamber.
Krepte has gone silent as he concentrates on the part for escaping.*
Flashback*
"Just remember this. If you want to proceed another room from here, pinch the wall on the other side of the crowd that looks like it has swollen. A hidden passageway will be revealed once you have correctly pinched the spot. The passageway is only one way out for those who aren't members in this club, my friend.", the bartender had explained to Krepte, should the latter decide to leave the place.
"*Nods slowly* I see... I realize there is another way out. I understand. Thank you.", Krepte made a compliment for hearing crucial information from the bartender.
"*Vows* *Chuckles* Have a drink, my friend.", he let Krepte enjoy his drink as he had resumed doing his usual job.
Flashback ended*
Eventually, Krepte has noticed something peculiar on a certain spot of the stomach wall. From what he sees, there is a red spot on the right side and it looks like it has pretty swollen as if it has already been irritated by other means.
"(Hm. I'm not going to hesitate about pinching it.)", he gladly remembered what the bartender had told him.
No doubt, he pinches the mentioned part and the part is now subsequently triggered. Unlike the entrance which makes peculiar sounds upon opening, the exit is surprisingly silent. Although Krepte is able to hear Nawa's blood continuously flowing, he can see those blood vessels have been adjusted, just to avoid bleeding upon ripping off the flesh.
Changing the scene to Krepte facing the hidden passageway.*
The path is now opened, though it is fairly narrow compared to the other side. Its exposure has costed slight bleeding Nawa because of the blood vessels being cut off.
Changing the scene to Krepte looking up*
"Ouch! Nnggghh... That food must've hit the wrong spot.", Nawa felt for that process.
Subsequently, Krepte is able to hear Nawa tapping his belly, just to comfort the mentioned part from enduring the pain. Krepte can see the monster's flesh rumbling.
Krepte depresses his head.*
"(Sorry for hurting you, my friend. I need to get out before they catch me and get stuck here.)", Krepte apologized to the monster for hurting him indirectly.
He wastes no time as he has entered the exit immediately. Upon crossing through the narrowed pathway by crawling, the flesh secretes more mucus, a substance which is crucial to Nawa's stomach, as it starts to form another lining, in order to prevent the flesh from being digested accidentally by the acid. Because of the process, Krepte is forced to be bathed by the substance.
Krepte crawls carefully and the mucus starts to pour onto him.*
"(Ugh... Gross! I admit my friend has disgusting substances in his body. He needs to check up.)", Krepte was digested upon being covered up by Nawa's mucus.
Despite the unwilling situation, Krepte reluctantly accepts more of being bathed by the slimy substance than being caught by those three pursuers.*
On the bright side, the flesh on the pathway is progressively pumping as it relaxes Krepte while moving. Those pumping sensations must have kept the distress from the human at bay.
Krepte sees way out.*
"(Almost there!)", Krepte grabbed the flesh with his hand, which had already covered up with Nawa's mucus.
Krepte slowly ascends and successfully comes out unharmed.*
As he has proceeded, he looks up as he is surprised to see something fascinating to him. He sees a staircase-like path, which is made up of stomach flesh, that guides him out from the stomach. Furthermore, the staircase has connected to the hole, which is called an esophageal sphincter, that can lead Krepte back to Nawa's throat.
"(My one ticket way out from my friend's hatch.)", Krepte immediately started ascending, even though he was still covered by the mucus.
Krepte takes every step of the organic staircase.*
Changing the scene to Krepte climbing as he is almost there.*
"Where do you think you're going, Krepte?", a voice was heard.
Krepte suddenly stops as if he spots someone.*
"*Gasp* No way! How did you get here?!", Krepte was surprised.
Suddenly, Roland has appeared before Krepte as the latter is confused. It appears that Roland is obstructing the way out of Nawa's stomach as he keeps Krepte contained within the mentioned organ.
"Surprised, huh, Krepte? Hehe. I already figured it out before you because your precious (read: not anymore) teddy bear has whispered to me.", Roland explained to him.
However, Krepte doesn't believe his explanation upon realizing that his teddy bear is obviously just an old toy, which is incapable of talking, or perhaps animating itself.
"Really, Roland? You're still talking to a toy. Have you already grown up with this stuff?", Krepte reminded Roland to be more mature with their conversation.
Roland, who is already annoyed at what Krepte, is getting furious. He approaches Krepte as he wants to take this opportunity to achieve his goal and reclaims his friend's trust.
"I still am, Krepte! It is you who makes Leonard go furious to me for failing my task! Now, you will never get out of this monster's stomach!", Roland seriously wanted Krepte to take him to his friend.
Even though Krepte has gone chilling to himself, he is eager to surpass the obstacle, just to peacefully get out. He initially makes a move which is unfamiliar to Roland.
Krepte stares at Roland menacingly.*
"Catch me if you can, slowpoke!", Krepte grabbed Roland's shoulders.
He quickly makes a backflip, just to pass over Roland. Additionally, he kicks the foe's back in order to trip over as he is about to escape.
Roland falls over.*
"Hey! You're going to pay for that!", Roland stood up as he wanted revenge for being kicked out by Krepte.
Upon standing up, he broadens his arms with his fingers ready to lock in, should he manage to capture Krepte accurately. Because of this, Roland growls at Krepte and quickly thrusts forward, going after Krepte who is now going up all the way out through Nawa's esophageal sphincter.
Roland is running.*
"Come back here, Krepte! We're not through!", Roland warned Krepte about that.
Changing the scene to Krepte who is running up.*
"*Pant* Darn it! *Pants* These slimes cripple me on the way out! *Pants* No more time cleaning myself, just keep going Krepte!", he resumed running.
Although, he is able to reach the opened sphincter as Krepte has endured his crippled movement. Upon arriving at the top of Nawa's stomach, he grabs the sphincter carefully, not to stimulate the monster.
"*Jumps high and grabs the sphincter* *Sighs* I hope Nawa doesn't eat anything while I'm climbing back to his mouth.", he looked up whilst ascending.
Suddenly...
Somebody grabs Krepte's foot.*
"What the -", Krepte couldn't move as he had been hooked by someone.
He looks down and he realizes that Roland manages to catch him. He can see the latter's face to be furious. He doesn't want to know why Roland is so desperate enough to capture him as he can see his expression, aside from being furious and desperate, to be humiliated.
"You will never get out, Krepte, I swear! I'm taking you back to Leonard! Nnggghh... Ahhh..", he successfully dragged Krepte down back to Nawa's stomach.
Because of such horrific trembles, which Roland has made it barehanded, Nawa's esophageal sphincter immediately closes as it has detected any threats that might injure the monster from the inside.
Roland smashes Krepte into the fleshy ground.*
"Heh. Now, I'm going to wrap you up. Hehe. Finally, I can redeem my trust in him (read: Leonard).", he used the strings made up from Nawa's flesh, just to chain up Krepte.
Krepte quickly responses as he kicks Roland.*
"Ah!", Roland had received the impact of Krepte's kick that his action had suddenly stopped.
Krepte hastily stands up as he finds another plan of getting out now, that the sphincter is no longer accessible. He looks around if there are any chances for him to use a "detour", even if it costs for Nawa to be stimulated.
Krepte looks down to the pool of acids.*
"No choice but going down to his hatch.", Krepte made an effort to run down.
Even though his movement is still crippled by Nawa's substance, he doesn't hesitate to continue his new objective as Roland is currently incapacitated, upon being hit by Krepte.
Krepte continues to go down whilst looking at the pool, which begins to act strangely.*
Nawa's stomach is growling.*
"Whoah! I never expected this.", Krepte commented on what he had seen while finding another way out.
He is surprised as he can see a huge whirlpool has been formed in the middle of the school. From his perspective, he can see the food, which is now being drained down by the stomach. In other words, digestion has started breaking down all the food within the monster's hatch.
Krepte has reached the tip of the path.*
"Man! It's dead end.", Krepte was disappointed.
Unfortunately, Krepte has nowhere to run as he has reached the edge of the path. One more step forward, it might lead him down to the pool which is currently digesting all the food. The desperate Krepte has gone silent upon thinking where he must go without being captured by Roland.
"Ngghhh... I can't swim down to his acid. What am I going to do?", Krepte was trying to keep up his cool head as he had losing more time thinking for another plan.
Someone grabs Krepte.*
"Gotcha now! Krepte!", a familiar voice immediately caught Krepte by grabbing his waist.
Krepte attempts to fight off Roland's strength but he is unable to do so because his strength is overwhelmed by Roland's power.
"Just let me go, Roland! Why are you doing this?!", Krepte desperately tried to free himself.
Roland doesn't answer on Krepte's interrogation about figuring the reason of his actions. As a response to that question, he only shows grin as he has finally gotten what he wants to obtain.
"You're coming with me, twerp!", Roland mocked him.
Roland, together with captured Krepte, is now moving out of the cliff. Suddenly...*
"Whoah!", Roland accidentally slipped himself as he is about to fall from the cliff.
Luckily, he quickly grabs the tip of the flesh as he is now in the brink whether he can climb himself up or to fall down to the pool. Because of that, Krepte is able to free himself from the bully.
"(Now is my chance to run.)", Krepte quickly turned his head as he was about to run.
Krepte is now moving away from Roland who is currently struggling to fall.*
"Help me, please! I don't want to be digested from this monster! Help me, anyone!", Roland was shouting as he was desperate to call for assistance.
Krepte suddenly stops upon hearing such deafening calls from the guy who is eager to capture him. He is thinking whether to save the guy, who is quite rude for him. Although, he barely knows him at all.
"(Oh man! Now what am I going to do? I don't want to leave him suffer.)", Krepte doubted for leaving him.
"Hold on, Roland! I'm coming to save you!", Krepte changed his mind from running.
Even though he wants to escape himself from peril, his conscience tells him to save the guy. He quickly rushes back to the cliff and he can see Roland, grabbing the edge with his hand. Of course, his hold can't handle much longer as the mucus from Nawa's stomach spills forth.
Krepte goes down.*
"Grab my hand, Roland! Come on, you can do it!", he lent his right hand.
Roland is surprised upon seeing Krepte assisting him. He can see through Krepte's eyes upon the latter is genuinely going to do the right thing, despite him being cruel to him.
"I-I can't believe you're going to save me... Why, Krepte?! Why?!", Roland was confused.
"Just grab my hand quick!", Krepte changed the topic as the time was running out for both.
Roland lifts his hand just to grab Krepte.*
"Ngh. Just don't let go, Roland!", he successfully held Roland's hand as he was about to lift up his body at a certain level.
Suddenly, a cracking sound has been heard nearby. Krepte is shocked upon seeing the cliff is about to be tear apart.
"Come on, Roland! Just lift yourself fast! This cliff is about to fall!", he warned the falling person to make haste.
Krepte and Roland synchronically gasp as the level of the cliff quickly depresses.*
"Oh no!", both weren't able to make it in time.
It is too late for two to evacuate themselves as the cliff can no longer hold its strength because of the combined weight from the two. As a result, the cliff has been fallen down to the pool, together with the two.
Krepte and Roland are screaming.*
The two are now falling down into the whirlpool as they are about to be digested during the process. They even try to fight it off by swimming, opposite to the direction.
Roland is swimming the opposite direction while Krepte is swimming the same direction.*
"You got to be kidding me, Roland! Swim the other way!", Krepte loudly shouted at Roland.
Either way, it's now too late for them to get out from the whirlpool as they are being drained down to the bottom of Nawa's stomach. From there, they see nothing but darkness the light has been obstructed progressively by Nawa's thich acids.
The two are screaming.*
The whirlpool is almost done digesting all the food. The pool of acid subsequently calms down with no more food left behind.*
Once again, the main section of Nawa's stomach has gone silent as the process has concluded accordingly.
Changing the scene to Nawa*
Meanwhile, Nawa is getting sleepy as the show has made him bored throughout the episode. From there, he put his arms onto the side of the couch upon laying down the remote.
Nawa is yawning. Nawa's belly moving.*
"HELP!!", his belly involuntarily rumbled as it had emulated the sound from the innards of him.
Nawa widens his open and looks down in his gut.*
"Mmff?! *Burps* Ah. *Pats* That's hit the spot. Looks like my belly finally breaks down the food. Heheh. Hm.. I hear strange voice, though. Heh. I guess it's all in my head.", Nawa rubbed his belly as he could feel the satisfaction of his body.
He notices that the episode, which he is supposed to watch, has ended. He picks up the remote and presses the power button, just to shut off the television. Right afterwards, he decides to take a nap as his body wants him to relax himself, for working hard recently.
Changing the scene to Nawa's mouth*
"*Chuckling* I could still feel my belly tingling from the inside. Heh.", Nawa was indeed satisfied of what he had eaten earlier.
Once again, he exhales a significant amount of air so the stomach can easily rest itself from such digestion. Such satisfaction has cost his friend to be digested, unbeknownst to him. As for the two, will they be able to survive themselves from the depths of his friend's body?
Nawa is chuckling and zooming into his mouth.*
