It was about a 25 minute bus ride from the airport. It was odd for most of the students since Japanese roads run differently than those in Zenith City.
 
 
“All right, kiddos,” Ms. Blazeheart says as Shiro’s group departs from the bus, “all of you go to the inn and get yourselves settled. If you’ll excuse me, I’ve got business elsewhere.” She rubs her flat belly as she ogles a couple attractive men passing by. As Ms. Blazeheart went off on her own, Shiro’s group made their way into the inn. The decor was in a traditional Japanese style, a far cry from the modern Zenith City.
 
 
The rooms are divided for one group or about six students per room. The boys and girls sides were separated by panels with a common area between them. There was a community bath for both boys and girls, but each gender will be allowed to enter at different times. Breakfast and dinner are provided by the inn every day and all students and teachers have curfew by 9 pm. Unlicensed predators are prohibited to eat the locals without proper consent or permission.
 
 
“...and that’s basically the rules.” Haruka says as she sets up her futon.
 
 
“So basically eating people without asking is against the law here?” Tsubaki asks.
 
 
“It makes sense when you think about it.” Lily comments. “The Japanese government wants to rein in the nation’s predators, especially after the recent war.”
 
 
“Shiro,” Haruka asks, “do you happen to have that book I lent you the other day?”
 
 
“No,” he replies, “but I think Cynthia might have it. I’ll show you to her group’s room.”
 
 
“I appreciate that!” The two left as Rachael and Lily were left alone with Tsubaki in awkward silence.
 
 
When the two approached the room, they heard a scream followed by a loud gulp. In the room, they saw a girl about their age with short dirty blonde hair and what seems like a woman wearing a kimono flailing her legs outside of her mouth. The girl continues to ignore the woman’s pleas as she quickly swallows up her waist, then her legs, and finally her toes slip past her lips. “Japanese food is so yummy!” the girl says as she rubs her thrashing gut.
 
 
At the same time, another girl with dark skin and silverish teal hair sitting in the back of the room let out a hefty belch as her own belly, a few times bigger than the blonde girl’s, squirmed and shook between her legs. All the groups and members were supposed to be gathered in their respective rooms, however there were only these two girls here.
 
 
As the blonde girl massaged her swollen gut, she noticed Shiro and Haruka staring at her in the doorway. Her face quickly turned red, “I-It’s not what it looks like!” she pleaded.
 
 
“*sigh* Why am I not surprised, Cynthia.” Shiro says sarcastically.
 
 
The blonde girl’s name was Cynthia Auburn. She was known around the school infamous for her pranks and mischief. Last year, she pulled a prank on Shiro when she ate him since he fell asleep in class. The dark skinned girl in the back was named Sumika Yamazaki, but everyone calls her Su. Despite her small chest and slim frame, she’s a very gluttonous predator and a star member of the school’s track team.
 
 
“Umm...Cynthia, is it?” Haruka asks. “Do you happen to have that book Shiro lent you?”
 
 
“Oh, um...I think so.” She points to her bag. Shiro went over and reached into her bag to pull out a book titled ‘Love and Vore - Volume 6’. As he opened the book, he was met with a pair of pure white panties in between the pages. Shiro freaked out a little when he realized what they were. He could then hear Cynthia snickering behind him.
 
 
“Sorry Shiro,” Cynthia apologized, “I didn’t have a bookmark so I used whatever I could find.”
 
 
He sighed. “So what happened to the rest of your group?”
 
 
“In that gut right there.” She points to Sumika’s massive gut. The girl was fast asleep as the unfortunate students continue to struggle to escape their digestive fate. “They were just some stupid boys who all said ‘flat-chested’ and then she snapped. I don’t think I need to explain the rest.”
 
 
“Then what about you?” Haruka asks as she rubs Cynthia’s churning gut.
 
 
“Hehe, that tickles! It was just some cleaning lady. She just looked so tasty I couldn’t resist, though it’s a bit late to let her out now…” Cynthia smacked her softened belly which responded with loud sloshing and gurgling. “Please don’t snitch on me. I’ll owe you one, I swear!”
 
 
Shiro sighs again. “Fine. This is the fifth time you know.”
 
 
“And I’ll pay you back for each one, I promise!”
 
 
In the end, Shiro walked out of the room with Haruka’s book and yet another favor from Cynthia. Meanwhile in another room…
 
 
“I wonder how Sweetie is doing…” Yuuna thought as she laid out on her futon. She looked around the room to see what the rest of her group was doing. One of the other girls was missing, but there was a girl with golden blonde hair and hazel eyes sitting in the corner reading a book. Her name was Eleanor Blazeheart, Rika’s somewhat uptight little sister. Yuuna didn’t like her very much and the other girl even less. Meanwhile, the boys in her group Yuuna didn’t even know the names of, kept staring at her from across the room. As much as she would like to teach them a lesson and devour all three of them, she restrained herself because she couldn’t afford to gain weight on this trip for she had a special plan for her boyfriend.
 
 
After a hot shower and relaxing bath, Shiro and his friends went to bed and soon fell asleep, eager to wake the next day and explore the wonders of Japan.
