You had finally made it, you were finally in Mondstadt, the gates loomed over you as you entered with Aether and Paimon
 
Luckily for you, you only had to get eaten once more by Paimon on the way here
 
Yaaaay
 
Never again would you sleep anywhere close to the tiny fairy
 
“There's still a couple months until the rite of descension, so we'll spend a bit of time here, is that okay with you?” Aether asked you
 
Not like you had any other choice if you wanted home… and Aether wasn't the worst company to have
 
“No, I'm fine with it, any place you wanna visit first?” You ask
 
“I was thinking if visiting Amber, but I'll put that on hold for now, usually she is with Eula this time of day” he answered “I could show you around a bit”
 
Honestly you already knew all the places of interest, but you nodded to his proposal as to not seem suspicious again
 
You both walked around Mondstadt for a bit, nothing unusual happened, Paimon started rambling every time you went close to either a restaurant or the shop, by the time you were done it was starting to darken on the sky and there was just one last stop on your tour
 
Angel’s Share
 
Aether opened the door for you and let you go in first, the place looked… cozy, Charles was working at the bar so it seems unlikely that you would see Diluc, a bit sad but not the end of the world.
 
You could hear music being played in the background by some bard you couldn't remember the name of.
 
“What can I get for you today traveler” Charles asks
 
“Just some dandelion wine, I'm touring my friend here and I want her to experience the best of Mondstadt” Aether replied
 
Charles looked at you with squinted eyes, almost judging you, it made you nervous because you knew who this man worked for
 
“Very well, but you'll have to drink upstairs, the few tables empty down here are reserved for others”
 
“That works, thank you” Aether said, he grabbed the bottle and lead you and Paimon upstairs, there at one of the tables sat a very recognizable face, Venti sat and drank happily away
 
“Come, we should sit with him” Aether said and dragged you along, ignoring the “Ugh, do we have to” from Paimon
 
“Why if it isn't the traveler, Paimon… and who's this” Is what Venti said as you all walked closer to him, he looks just like you remembered from the games
 
“H-hi” Was all you could get out, you might have liked Venti as a character but you wouldn't trust him, not after what you've already been through
 
Venti simply smiled at you before he returned to his mug for another sip as you all sat down, Aether poured a glass of wine for you and you had to admit, it was delicious
 
*GROOOOWL*
 
“Ehe~ sorry, didn't get a chance to get a bite earlier” Venti said
 
“Maybe if you spent less on your wine you could afford anything other than apples” Paimon responded dryly
 
“Hmmm, I did earn a bit recently, maybe I SHOULD get some real food… Traveler, quick commission, I want you to bring me a sticky honey roast, I'll pay you back”
 
Aether sighed but stood up anyways like he has had to do this dozens of times before. He looked at you and said “Wait here for me, this shouldn't take too long”
 
“Paimon will follow you as well, if you aren't around then Paimon might strangle this tone deaf bard” Paimon said and left with Aether
 
*Grooooaan*
 
“AND HURRY, I'M HUNGRY” Venti shouted after the pair when they exited the bar
 
After Aether left with Paimon for the commission, it was only you and Venti left, you heard his stomach growl again, you shifted around nervously, that sound never made you feel comfortable… maybe leaving would be in your best interest
 
“I-I should probably get going, I'm sure Aether will return with your sticky honey roast” you said standing up, until you felt a hand on your shoulder
 
“Now what's the rush, sit down, he'll be back soon” Venti said
 
“N-no, I r-really should lea-”
 
“I've always liked the shy ones, you keep on stuttering and looking away from me… are you afraid of something?” Venti asked
 
*Grooowl*
 
The sound made you instinctively look away
 
“Ah, I see why you're in such a rush, you're afraid of becoming fat on this bards tush” Venti teased
 
You backed away from him, hitting a wall
 
“Well I guess an appetizer will do before the traveler comes back” Venti livked his lips
 
“W-wait n-”
 
*Gulp*
 
In an impressive show of speed, Venti had descended his maw on you faster than you could think, it felt different than when Aether or Paimon did this
 
*Glulp* *Glrrrk*
 
The maw, the throat, they all felt looser, more stretchy, like he has done this for a long time, and knowing Venti's age he probably had eaten his fair share of people
 
*Schlrrrp* *Glulp*
 
His impressive speed in which he sent you to your acid bath was unreal, already down to your stomach, he took teasing bites every now and then
 
*Gulp*
 
The second your head was inside the stomach you could smell the stench of alcohol, you could hear and feel him humming a tune
 
*Glrrrk* *GULP*
 
Venti made sure to remove your shoes, while it would be no problem digesting them, the shoes never tasted good, he gave a few last nibbles before sending his prey to meet their fate
 
*Guulp*
 
“*Phew* Yup, the shy ones always taste the best, compliments to the chef” Venti said, he sat down in his seat pushing his belly under the table hiding it from view
 
Venti continued his drinking, he noticed the lack of movement from within him
 
“Hmmm, you seem way too calm for someone eaten, normally people scream in pain or beg for mercy or something like that”
 
“Mmmmph…mmmmph”
 
“Yeah I don’t understand what you’re saying, well I guess it’s none of my business” Venti said, his cheeks reddened, the alcohol finally affecting him
 
“Oooooh, I know, I should write a song to remember you by, that sounds like fun”
 
*GROOOOAAAN*
 
His stomach kicked into high gear as it worked down it’s meal, the position he had his belly in under the table pressed on his stomach
 
“A traveler far from home walked to a bar~”
 
He didn't have a lyre to play with at the moment but his singing voice was enough to make it sound good, even when he was a bit sloshed from his wine
 
“They walked with a hero traveled by star~”
 
He could hear you make some sounds at that, he grinned and continued his song
 
“Inside the bar they met with a bard~”
 
He could feel you start kicking up a storm inside of him, it worked against you however as the belly's enzymes started working faster
 
‘Finally you start fighting back a bit’
 
“Who was determined to turn the traveler into lard~”
 
His belly smoothed out, digesting it's prey in a speed only an experienced pred could hope to achieve
 
“The traveler was quickly turned into sludge~”
 
The door to the bar was opened and the heavenly smell of sticky honey roast filled the tavern
 
“Their fate was ultimately to be the bards Pudge~”
 
The belly smoothed out even further as the steps came came closer and finally Aether stood in front of Venti, Sticky honey roast in hand
 
“You're finally back traveler, consider the commission done”
 
Venti clenched his belly
 
—--
 
*Inside Venti's stomach*
 
Once again you landed in someone's belly, you shed frustrated tears, why did this always have to happen to you, compared to your time with Paimon and Aether, this time you felt more snug in there, like there wasn't any room at all, also felt like something was pushing you down from above
 
You felt the familiar sting of stomach acids as it ate away at you
 
“Hmmm, you seem way too calm for someone eaten, normally people scream in pain or beg for mercy or something like that”
 
“There isn't any point in panicing, it'll only speed this up” You replied
 
“Yeah I don’t understand what you’re saying, well I guess it’s none of my business”
 
Wine was poured unto your head, drenching you even more in the stench,
 
“Oooooh, I know, I should write a song to remember you by, that sounds like fun”
 
Oh please no, was he really gonna make your end into a tale he'll sing about in taverns, you felt a breeze hit you… wait how could there be a breeze inside a stomach
 
“A traveler far from home walked to a bar~”
 
‘Why is he singing about Aether?’
 
What was once a breeze turned into wind, splashing acid all over your body, Venti had used his power over wind to cause a swirl reaction in his stomach
 
“They walked with a hero traveled by star~”
 
‘Wait what… does that mean’
 
“HEY, DO YOU KNOW WHERE I CAME FROM” You shouted yet you gained no response from him as your skin turned red from irritation
 
“Inside the bar they met with a bard~”
 
“LISTEN TO ME”
 
You did everything to get the bards attention yet you didn’t get anything from him
 
“Who was determined to turn the traveler into lard~”
 
“Why…”
 
You realized your mistake as the acid level rose, you felt your skin melt off your flesh as the stomach forced you into a ball
 
“The traveler was quickly turned into sludge~”
 
“No please, I need answers”
 
Your voice was raspy, maybe it was from the shouting, maybe it was from your throat melting along with you, you didn’t care, you just wanted out
 
“Their fate was ultimately to be the bards Pudge~”
 
You gave up at this point, was there even a point to fight back at this point, you were practically dead anyways
 
“You’re finally back traveler, consider the commission done”
 
‘It’s Aether!!’
 
“AETHER HE-”
 
*CRACK*
 
—--
 
“Where are they, Venti did they leave?” Aether asked having not heard your plea
 
“*Hic* Last I saw of them they walked out on the balcony, but that was a while ago” Venti said sloshed
 
“*sigh* Alright, I’ll leave your food here for you, I’ll see if they’re still there” Aether said, his stomach was a bit pudgier than Venti remembered and Paimon was nowhere to be seen
 
The rest of the night went by real fast, he remembered Aether rushing from the balcony and leaving the tavern, most likely to search for you, Venti left the tavern once Aether was gone, his belly swaying from side to side with that extra jiggle you made
 
“You’re… you’re gonna make me fat *hic*”
 
Venti eventually left the city and laid down by a tree, resting for the night and allowing his stomach to finish what little of you that was left
 
“Goodnight… tasty traveler”
 
*Disposal Warning*
 
Venti squatted behind a bush, he had been woken up by his need of relief and your need of release
 
“Hmmmm, now be good for me, it's morning, don't wanna have a bad start you know”
 
The anal ring of the femboy opened up, your new form emerged from it in all it’s brown glory, his stomach was strong, at least stronger than a regular persons, there was nothing left of you, no bones or cloth, only brown turds
 
“*Hmmmrg* I so love this game Celestia allows the world to have every 100 years”
 
The brown muck splattered on the ground twisting around to create a pile. Ventitook his time to enjoy the feeling, he was sure that time would reverse in a couple hours anyways, so why should he rush this
 
“You should be thanking me,*Hmmmm* I could have digested your soul as well, but the game would be over then and that’s *HNNNNRRG* no fun”
 
Venti felt himself loose pounds of weight just by dropping you off
 
“Please make sure to visit me again, I would love to do this again”
 
The last of you was squeezed out of his ass, he used some nearby leaves to wipe before he dressed himself again
 
“Now time to hit the tavern, maybe I can get a drink before time is reversed again”
 
—--
 
 
“You seem to have a lot on your mind, anything you wanna talk about” Aether said
 
You regained consciousness once again, then you noticed those familiar words
 
‘NOOOOO, did I really have to go this far back’
