Asta didn't know how it came to this, she had been working as usual, giving out orders, paying for things that needed replacement, she even had time to gaze upon the stars she loved so much
 
*Gulp*
 
And everything came crashing down as someone grabbed her from behind and forced her head to enter their mouth, the tongue within had promptly started licking her face as if to taste as much as possible before continuing
 
*Glrrk* *Glulp*
 
Whoever it was chose to take their sweet time, gulping her down slowly, almost as if she was trying to take it all in. One thing left Asta confused tho, why was no one helping her, she was surrounded by people beforehand, hell she could still hear them talking… Were they ignoring her?
 
*Gulp*
 
She had figured quite early that kicking and screaming wouldn't do anything, the hold on her too strong for her to do anything of worth, so she had instead started calling for help, screaming as loudly as possible
 
“Uhm Miss Ruan, do you need any help, she seems quite rowdy”
 
Asta felt dizzy, there was no way that this was Ruan Mei right, the head shakes from side to side signaling the poor boy who asked her that she didn't need any help.
 
*Glulp* *Glrrrk*
 
Feeling her midriff get pulled into the most cavern made her panic a bit more, her legs wasn't even touching the ground anymore, tears fell from her eyes as the tight throat continued to squeeze her down to the gut.
 
“Y-You need to release me now, Madam Herta wouldn't let this slide”
 
*Glrrrrk* *Goulp*
 
Either Ruan Mei was uncaring or Asta wasn't heard, she didn't really care for which one was correct, she just wanted out, if she did she would need to take vacation… and therapy, lot's of it
 
*Gulp* *Glurk*
 
“I-I'll p-pay you anything, y-you can't do this to me”
 
Hands grabbed a hold of Asta's slender legs and for a moment Asta gained new hope that she would be released, that hope quickly left when the hand traveled further down to her feet and removed her shoes.
 
‘Nonononono, I-I need to get out, why is no one helping, was everyone okay with this’
 
*Glulp* *Gulp*
 
‘I-Is it because Ruan Mei is of the genius society, are they really going to let her do whatever she wants because of that’
 
Asta felt her legs travel down the neck as well, her upper body having already entered the gastric abyss of the genius belly, her feet were grabbed and shoved down the throat as well, she could feel her legs slide down until they joined the belly with the rest of her.
 
*Buuuuaaaaaaarp*
 
“Excuse me, that was rude of me wasn't it”
 
Patting her belly Ruan Mei looked down on it satisfactory, really the only reason she did this was to see how a prey would react to being swallowed, that and to see if Herta would react or even care, but she had to admit, the feeling of a full belly never ceased to feel good.
 
“But I have to give compliments were it's due, you didn't taste half bad, now tell me how does it feel in there”
 
“I-It hurts, w-why did you do this”
 
Ruan Mei supposed it made sense, of course it would hurt to have enzymes break down your body piece for piece.
 
“No particular reason, just felt like it, now you said that it hurts, between 1 and 100 how much does it hurt”
 
Asta didn't answer, she instead screamed out in pain, calling for someone named Arlan whoever that now was, how rude of her, couldn't she at least answer her question.
 
“*sigh* I guess I'll judge how painful it is based on your screams, won't be as accurate but it'll do”
 
Ruan Mei saw one of the cameras and waved, Herta had probably seen the entire spectacle, now would she help her lead astronomer or would she not care, Ruan Mei was actually excited for the result. She sat herself down on a nearby chair and waited.
 
1 hour and later 2 hours went, but nothing happens, well except for her stomach groaning and working down the girl to sloppy remains, after the first hour Asta had stopped screaming, probably too tired to continue on
 
“Ruan Mei, can you come to my office”
 
This was interesting, did Herta care enough to tell her to spit out the girl, she could if Herta told her, wouldn’t even be a problem, she also couldn’t stop Herta from forcing it either, these simpleminded idiots on this space station may let her do as she wants but her word against Herta and it is clear they would help Herta.
 
Ruan Mei stood up from her chair, her belly was starting to loose shape, she could still hear Asta whimper from within her but it was ignored in favor of walking to Herta’s office, her belly swayed from side to side as she walked probably enhancing Asta’s already unbearable pain.
 
“I’m here Herta, is there something you wanted”
 
Herta spared a single glance towards her midsection before looking back up at her, her eyes betrayed no emotion as she did so.
 
“You’re becoming fatter”
 
…Ok, not what she imagined the childlike doll would tell her, it kinda ticked her off, she was obviously not becoming fatter… maybe a tiny bit chubbier but not fat. Herta walked towards her and started poking her belly.
 
“You do know who is in there don’t you?”
 
“Hmmm, yeah it’s Asta right, *Sigh* and she was one of the only ones here worth having around”
 
This further confused Ruan Mei, if Asta was actually valuable to Herta then why did she allow this, surely she knew what she could do, that Asta’s release was easily achievable.
 
“He….rta, he….lp pl…ea….se”
 
Hmmm, a final attempt to get free surely, not that it would matter at this point, all she would need to do is clench a bit and the girl would be no more, merely a memory to be forgotten with time.
 
“Aren’t you gonna help her, she’s even asking so nicely”
 
“...No, I can get someone else to fill her position within a month, on top of that she is too weak right now, she could die during the regurgitation process, I’ll simply allow you to make the choice, I don’t care either way”
 
Well in that case, the only reason Asta was still alive was because Ruan Mei still wanted to know of Herta’s reaction, now that she knew how uncaring the doll was she had no further use of the astronomer, she drummed her finger against her belly, she started clenching it, slowly at first and then harder and harder until a multitude of snaps could be heard.
 
*Crack* *Crrrck* *CRACK*
 
“Well this was disappointing, was hoping for more of a reaction from you, so what did you want me here for”
 
“I want to talk with you about a new update to the simulated universe-”
 
*Later + Scat warning*
 
Ruan Mei huffed out a sigh of relief as she sat herself down on one of the toilets on the space station, talking with Herta about the simulated universe had taken over 3 hours, after the second hour she had started feeling Asta pushing on her backdoor, she had needed to hold this in for an hour.
 
“I don’t know what Herta is thinking, expanding on the research of the aeon of voracity, they’re dangerous enough already”
 
Not a thought spared towards the waste as she started pushing, Asta was simply a forgotten experiment just like all other creations of hers. She did however have some problem getting the girl out, having to grunt a bit as the shit slid out of her opened anus.
 
“*Hmmmrg* Really, and to top it off she wanted to add permanent deaths in the simulation, I’m pretty sure our test subjects would dwindle fast in that case”
 
Anything that survived of the pink haired girl was just the bones stripped of the flesh and ripped up cloth that had survived the internal tracts.
 
“*Hnnnrg* I’m pretty sure her aim was simply to ingest Caelus, she *Hrrrrg* seems to be rather interested in adding him to one of her dolls frames.”
 
Ruan Mei continued to vent to herself about some of the most ridiculous ideas she had heard the last hours, shit continued to pour out of her ass, not a thought spared against the much harder to push out bones or even the skull, just some more grunting and pushing from just another meal. It all came to an end later on, luckily the bathrooms on the space stations were built stronger for just these reasons.
 
*FLUUUUUSH*
 
She wiped herself, dressed and walked out of the bathroom, when she turned a corner someone crashed into her, he had white hair with some darker tones here and there, he also was running with a dog in his arms
 
“I’m sorry miss, have you seen Asta around, I haven’t seen her anywhere and no one else has seen her”
 
Wasn’t this curious, someone was actually looking for the girl, she looked down on her own slightly chiúbbier visage as she thought about how she would handle this situation
 
“And what may your name be”
 
“Oh sorry, should have introduced myself first, I’m Arlan, I am the head of the security department”
 
Arlan… Oh yeah, Asta had called out for his help as she was melting down, Ruan Mei licked her lips, it seemed like her next meal was here, she could happily reunite the boy with Asta.
 
“Yes I remember her, why don’t you come with me and I can show you”
