“I am so sorry Lumine”
 
“Yeah ok, just help me find a way out of here”
 
Just her luck to have gotten trapped in a hole on Dragonspine, well not her luck but rather Bennett's who had been traveling with her for a while now.
 
Ever since Lumine had accepted his request to adventure with her she has had plenty of unlucky encounters, all from sneezing during stealth commissions to falling into the maw of an awaiting pred, sure she got out every time but this couldn't be good for her heart
 
‘I still remember Rosaria's inside, I almost didn't get let out’
 
It had taken a lot of convincing along with both Paimon, Bennett and Barbara who was also there for the commision begging for her release and for her to be regurgitated out, her flesh red and sensitive, it had taken weeks for her to get better.
 
‘And now this, I'm not one for blaming people but Bennett's bad luck is starting to get annoying’
 
Lumine looked around, the walls up were covered in ice so climbing wasn't going to happen, all she could do was wait here at the bottom with Bennett until help would arrive. They had plenty of food so it shouldn't be too big of an issue.
 
“Uhm Lumine, you look annoyed, are you mad at me”
 
Lumine quickly fixed that, sure the bad luck was annoying sometimes but Bennett was a good friend, she shouldn't blame him
 
“*Sigh* Yeah, this situation is annoying, not your fault tho”
 
Even with her words both knew that it was totally his fault, he and his bad luck had always been a curse affecting him and everyone he holds dear, he tries to move on from incidents but it isn't always easy, such as these moments when the situations become almost helpless.
 
“Where is Paimon by the way”
 
“I sent her to get some help, knowing her tho she grabbed a bite to eat and fell asleep, if that is the case we may be stuck here until tomorrow”
 
Lumine didn't mention it but it could be way longer than that, Paimon didn't have the best memory and if she forgot where the hole was then the help would need to search the entirety of Dragonspine.
 
*Grooooaaan*
 
Lumine rubbed her belly, she supposed she was pretty hungry now, it had been a while since she last ate and she had been fighting the whole time until now, she opened up her backpack and saw… nothing
 
“Bennett, did… did you forget to pack our supplies”
 
“N-no, I know I did… actually I got kinda distracted before and… I'm sorry, I forgot”
 
Ok this was bad, Lumine was not sure if they could take several days of no food, especially not if she is already hungry and tired. This was not good.
 
“I-I'm really sorry, I'll do anything if you forgive me”
 
‘Anything huh’
 
“Sure, I'll hold onto that favor for now, just make sure not to move too much, you get hungrier faster if you do”
 
Bennett sat down on his side and Lumine sat on her side neither moved, both praying that someone would find them soon

*Next day*
 
*GROOOOAAAAN*
 
“Sooooo hungry”
 
Lumine's eye twitched, Bennett was complaining again, she was hungry as well, really really hungry but you didn't see her complaining, it seems like Paimon forgot where she was.
 
*Grooooaan*
 
Lumine rubbed her belly, it felt like it would eat itself at this point, she could practically eat anything at this point, maybe her backpack or the snow, even Benn- No, no such thoughts. It wasn't his fault…
 
Well it kinda was, if it wasn't for his bad luck then maybe she wouldn't be stuck down here, and he did say he would do anything she wanted.
 
*Grrrrnnng*
 
“Hey Bennett, you said you would do anything”
 
Bennett looked up at once, his look excited over finally getting to do something
 
“Yes, what do you need, anything at all”
 
Lumine rubbed her belly once again, the painful feeling would soon be over is what she told herself
 
“I know what I want you to do, I need you to get into my belly”
 
Bennett's look of excitement quickly faded away, a look of shock and a bit of fear.
 
“Uhm, not to sound rude, but wouldn't that… you know kill me”
 
“Take it easy, I'll let you out once help arrives or when it's starting to hurt for you, I just need something in there so I don't stay this hungry”
 
Bennett looked like he thought about it, it made some sense, it would be better if just one starved instead of two, and as long as she let him out… and he did say he would do anything.
 
“*sigh* Fine, I'll let you eat me, just release me before anything bad happens”
 
“Of course I will, I don't wanna see you as pudge on my belly, would hate to explain that to the adventurers guild”
 
Bennett flinched back a bit at the mention of him being turned into fat, he took a breath and summoned all the courage he had and walked over to Lumine
 
“J-just please make it quick”
 
Lumine licked her lips and grabbed Bennett's hands and shoved them into her mouth, she could feel her friend shiver from the wetness.
 
*Glurk*
 
“It's all wet, ok calm down Bennett, you promised her”
 
*Glllrk* *Gulp*
 
Bennett felt Lumine take a hold of his side and lift him up in a way that would make it easier for him to go down, he felt like he was upside down, he saw up close as Lumine's jaw opened up unnaturally big to allow entry of his head.
 
*Glulp* *Gulp*
 
It felt tight, his head being squeezed from every direction, if this was just the mouth then how constricting would the belly feel, even with all his bad luck he has had the pleasure of never being eaten before.
 
‘So this is how Lumine felt with Rosaria’
 
*Glurk* *Glrrrk* *Gulp*
 
Bennett could feel the quick swallows Lumine made and it made him slide down quick as well, did she humor his request at making it fast or did she simply want her belly fed, he hoped it was the former, he didn't wanna be seen as food.
 
*Glulp* *Gulp*
 
Lumine's mind was elsewhere, simply happy to have gotten a meal and an easy one at that, under normal circumstances she would have never thought about eating a friend, but with nothing else to eat she didn't mind gulping down the adventurer without hesitation.
 
‘I'm sorry but I need the nutrients, it could be days I'll have to spend down here’
 
*Gulp*
 
Lumine gulped down the rest of the midriff, with only the legs sticking out she made quick work of it, no need to make it slow, she shouldn't play with her food after all.
 
*Gulp* *GLRRRK* *Schhlourp*
 
She gulped down the legs and finished off by slurping down the last of him, she felt her throat return to normal and her gut get bigger, filled with the adventurer. It must feel so tight and sticky in there, she would know she had experienced it so many times, such as that time with Rosaria… and Lisa
 
Jean, Mona, Fischl, Sucrose, Eula, Venti and even kind sweet Barbara, and every time it was some kind of accident or bad luck that made her end up in such a position… maybe this wasn't such a bad thing.
 
“Uhm, Lumine can you hear me”
 
‘Maybe I should pretend to sleep, at least give him the mercy of not knowing this betrayal’
 
Lumine made some impromptu sleeping noises, and that is to say a bit of snoring and calmly breathing in and out.
 
—
*On the inside*
 
“Uhm Lumine can you hear me”
 
Bennett waited, hoping to get a response, he needed to know if she would hear him later on when he wanted to get out, but no such response ever came, in fact it sounded like she was… sleeping?
 
“O-oh, that isn't good”
 
One thing Bennett saw when he entered was that the stomach was empty, the lack of any food being digested made him feel bad for forgetting to pack the rations, another thing he noticed is how fast the acids started to rise
 
The lack of any food in the travelers belly made the acids work overtime to absorb it's first meal in the last 24 hours.
 
“It isn't so bad right now, maybe I can let her sleep for a short while, I can wake her up later”
 
He sat in that bath of acids unmoving, he hoped help would come soon, it felt uncomfortable in here, his clothes were all sticky and drenched and the same could be said for his hair.
 
“Ouch-”
 
He saw a part of his skin become a bit red, like he had seen all of Lumine's skin be before.
 
“Hey Lumine, wake up I kinda need to get out now”
 
He got no response to his plea, he tried to push out on the belly in hope that it would wake up Lumine but the same calm breathing could be heard followed by occasional snores.
 
“Oh no, this can't be happening, wake up, please wake up Lumine”
 
‘Damn my bad luck’
 
—
*On the outside*
 
Lumine heard it all and smiled a bit, she knew her enzymes were strong and even stronger now that she was hungry, she knew it would make fast work of her meal
 
‘Thanks for the meal Bennett, you were pretty filling’
 
She wanted to run her hands over her belly so much, she wanted to hurry it up and make him into mush already, but was it worth breaking the illusion that his friend hasn't abandoned him, that it was simply another matter of his bad luck.
 
No, no it wasn't
 
So Lumine continued on with her pretend sleeping, watching her belly working overtime on boiling its living occupant.
 
“Lumine, p-please it hurts so much, j-just wake up”
 
‘I can already feel you add to me, that's good, means plenty of fat reserves’
 
Lumine's belly squeezed down on its prey, and based on Bennett's scream and the cracking noise it seemed like some bone broke, shivers went down her spine, it made her almost stop pretending but she was able to catch herself fast enough.
 
She could hear his cries, his pleas and begging yet she ignored it all, simply background noise to her ears, it was soon over either way, she didn't get why he was still begging but she supposed that she would do the same if she was in his shoes, she had done the same.
 
Maybe I should just roll over, make it quick for him, he's already in so much pain so maybe it is for the best. So Lumine went from her relaxed position and rolled over to lay down on her belly, she could immediately feel herself sink in, Bennett was under her seconds away from breaking.
 
*Crrrck*
 
‘A little more, I can hear it, it's so close’
 
*Crackle* *Crack*
 
Lumine felt Bennett underneath her break, bones stripped away from flesh and separated, Bennett had only had a second to scream before it was all over
 
“There we go, and all of this could have been avoided had you simply brought lunch”
 
Her belly had rounded out except for the odd bulge here and there that resembled bones, she poked them a bit before sitting up and relaxing against the cold wall, she closed her eyes for a bit
 
‘See, now no one is hungry, this outcome was simply the best’
 
This time she actually went to sleep
 
*Scat warning*
 
Lumine had woken up with a particular feeling in her rear, so she immediately dug a hole in the snow and squatted over it. She guessed the best part of being here is that she could dispose of her prey without fear of anyone seeing. She started squeezing to release her prey
 
“*Hnnnrrg* You wanted out didn't you, then please do so”
 
Brown matter exited her ass in long logs and fell down the hole, the shit littered with hairs, bones and shattered clothes, otherwise it looked like any other bowel movement.
 
“*Grrrg* Don't make this hard on me, you *Hnnnrrg* said you'd do anything, then please exit easier”
 
But Lumine's request was not fulfilled, she still had to grunt, moan and push as hard as she could to release the adventurer from her body.
 
“*Hrrrrg* I wonder how I should explain this to everyone else, maybe *Hnnnrg* I'll just tell another lie *Grrrng* that you didn't fall into the hole”
 
She was sure that Paimon would take her side and tell the lie with her, it wasn't the first time she would help her with these kinds of things. The logs continued to fall, stinking up the hole to a sickening degree.
 
“*Grrrrng* I-Is that your skull, couldn't it have broken down a bit”
 
The skull slid slowly out of her ass, her anal muscles working harder than ever and stretching to its limits, and then with a satisfying plop it slid out, along with a bit more shit that landed on it and a pyro vision.
 
“Phew, that was the last of you right… good, let's hope you remembered to pack the toilet paper at the very least”
 
She picked up Bennett's bag and lo and behold, inside was the toilet paper, so he had remembered this but not the food, it was almost laughable, she wiped herself and covered the hole with snow, never to be seen by anyone ever again.
 
She covered herself and sat down again, her tush had become slightly softer, her belly now adorned some pudge and her chest had grown a bit as well, the biggest difference was her thighs that had fattened out a fair bit.
 
“Hello anyone down there”
 
And would you look at that, as soon as Bennett was disposed of it seemed like her luck returned, Paimon was looking down with Cyrus beside her.
 
“Yeah I'm down here Paimon, have any rope”
 
“Yes Paimon brought the rop- Uhm is it just Paimon or do you look any different”
 
Yeah, it kinda figured that Paimon would notice first since the fairy was always by her side
 
“Let's just say I had a relatively big meal and leave it at that okay”
