After the movie had ended, Inko and her daughter Yuuna along with Shiro in her mother’s stomach, left the theater to head to their next trial.
 
 
“My god that movie was terrible!” Inko complains. “The book was so much better!”
 
 
Yuuna was too distracted to hear her mother’s remarks. She was preoccupied thinking about Shiro and how he was faring in her mother’s stomach. It was certainly not a situation he was unfamiliar to, but she couldn’t help but worry.
 
 
Inko stroked her belly and said, “Your little boyfriend is pretty cooperative. I’m surprised he hasn’t begged to be let out yet.” She then lightly shook her gut and sloshed around Shiro in digesting popcorn and snacks and a fizzling pool of soda. Shiro’s nose began to burn with stifling air building up around him as Inko let out a loud belch. “Oh that feels much better~” Yuuna grew more impatient by the second seeing her mother toy around with Shiro, mostly because she wanted to play with him in her own belly.
 
 
For the next few hours Inko and Yuuna drove around the city doing various activities, each one testing not only Shiro’s tolerance and determination but also Yuuna’s thin patience and trust in her lover’s words. When they finally returned home, Yuuna was inches away from snapping. Shiro was getting exhausted from all the torment Inko put him through, but it wasn’t over yet as she started doing some yoga which made her stomach squish and squeeze his body tightly everytime she assumed one of her seemingly impossible poses.
 
 
“It’s late.” Yuuna thought as she checked the time on her phone.
 
 
“Mm....he feels so good in there.” Inko says as she gets into a more relaxed position. “Maybe I should stay the night and keep him inside-”
 
 
“MOM!!” Yuuna exploded. “I’ve had enough! Why are you doing this to him? You’re always gone and never there for me, and now you want to take Shiro from me?!”
 
 
Yuuna spoke the bitter truth. Yuuna was only in elementary school when her mother returned to the acting scene. Since then, she was hardly ever home on top of her now divorced father leaving home soon after. For years she lived alone until the boy she came to love gave her a place to come home to.
 
 
Inko sighs. “I guess that’s enough fun for today.”
 
 
“What are you talking about?”
 
 
“Yuuna, I knew all along about you and your boyfriend’s relationship, even before I saw you two. I also know about this boy’s not-so-little secret.”
 
 
“Wait, you knew!? B-But what about...we did…”
 
 
Both Shiro and Yuuna were completely in shock. Not by the fact that Inko knew about Shiro’s ability, but the fact that everything they went through today was just for nothing except Inko’s whim.
 
 
“M-Ms. Murasaki,” Shiro asked, “how do you know about me and my...you know?”
 
 
“Oh, that? Just something I heard from a friend of mine. I’m sure you know her very well.”
 
 
Suddenly it all made sense to Shiro. He only knew one person who would callously yet playfully tell his secret someone like Inko at such a crucial point in his relationship with Yuuna.
 
 
Shiro sighs. “I should’ve known my mom was behind all of this.”
 
 
Inko then gets to her feet and embraces her daughter in an awkward hug due to her belly. “I’m sorry I couldn’t be there for you all this time, but as a mother, I couldn’t miss the chance to see my little girl again before a man takes her heart away.”
 
 
“...It’s a bit late for an apology.” Yuuna pouts as she tries to hide the tears on her face.
 
 
“I’ll let you see your boyfriend again, except…” Inko grabs her daughter’s head and shoved it into her mouth. Yuuna panicked and flailed in surprise as she was being swallowed by her mother. Inko giggles as she tilts her head back and quickly gulps down her daughter’s body.
 
 
“Welcome to the stomach!” Shiro greeted and Yuuna’s head popped inside.
 
 
“Eww, I hate being in here…” Yuuna complained as she was pushed into the stomach alongside her boyfriend. The walls were soft, warm, and sticky and Yuuna hated it. However, it was easy to look over if it meant she could see her sweetie again. Soon, she was completely inside the stomach curled up along with Shiro. Inko sat down and rubbed her huge belly that was now double its previous size.
 
 
“I’ll let you two have some ‘alone time’ while I take a quick nap.” Inko says as she lays out on the floor. Meanwhile, Shiro and Yuuna stared awkwardly into each other’s eyes as their bodies were squished together in Inko’s tight belly.
 
 
“So...I guess this means your mother approves of us.” Shiro says.
 
 
Yuuna giggles. “It seems so.”
 
 
The two lovebirds held each other in their arms and soon too fell asleep together inside her mother’s warm belly.
 
 
The End
