What a blunder…

“Belle! This way!”

Routine maintenance on Eous on the edge of a hollow had ended up in an ambush! A pack of mercenaries opened fire and forced them to retreat inside the hollow. And inside… packs of the hollow’s monster’s pursued two figures. One was a tall pink pink-haired woman who was pulling the other along to different escape routes.

The other one a girl who barely keeps up. Quiet and clutching her torso.

“Ugh, you’re too slow! We are absolutely talking about cutting my debt down when we get back… My escort prices are high!”

When they get back… Belle couldn’t think of when. In fact… she could barely think. How long had she been running? Her body wasn’t as fit as an agent’s. Her hollow corruption resistance was rather pitiful. Nowhere near as capable as Nicole’s.

And she was beyond her limit. Gasping as she ran, clutching at her heart.

For the first time, the only agent she’d escaped with noticed the condition of her proxy. Nicole’s eyes widened as she saw the first traces of ether corruption across Belle’s body.

“Oh… Oh no… Belle! We need to get you out of here!” she desperately looks around, but is cut off as she notices an enemy heading straight for Belle! Nicole darts forward and tackles Belle, pushing the two off a ledge and sending them hurtling towards the ground.

Nicole screams as she buries the proxy’s face in her bosom. She waits for impact… but instead, they disappear into a portal. One that closes almost instantly behind them.

Nicole safeguards the fragile girl, as they roll several feet on the other side. They seem to have ended up in a grocery store of some kind. Nicole listens for an attack… but it’s actually quiet. They’d been pursued for the last several hours…

“Finally… I thought we’d never lose them. A bit of good luck finally heads our way!”

She stands herself up straight, one hand beneath her breasts, almost as if to flaunt them. The other tapping the side of her head as she turned to her sickly companion.

“Now… ugh… what am I going to do with you? Can she even hear me…”

She prods the girl, who had used much of her strength to sit up, with a knee. She gave no response… just shivering.

“Ugh… Can’t believe the stupid jammer… Wise would know what to do… or Anby… Not Billy though… Fuck…”

Her stomach growled. She places a hand on the bare flesh revealed by her crop top.

“Ugh… I didn’t get lunch. Things just keep getting worse. I’m basically alone with dead weight. I’d say no offense but you’re not exactly very talkative…”

Her stomach doubles its efforts, echoing with grumbles in the empty store.

“I can’t exactly take time to eat… ugghh where’s that wit that’s always led the Cunning Hares to success? Maybe I should think with my gut? But all it wants is… is…”

Nicole glanced at her two problems, her gut begging for food. And the girl desperate to be removed from the corruption all around her. She looked so small. Belle had always seemed small. But now… it seemed rather perfect.

A smile twists onto her face, a clever solution to all her problems…

“There’s corruption out here… but in my belly I bet you’ll be protected by my natural resistance. God, I’m so smart. All I need to do is eat my little proxy. It’s just that easy!”

She kneels down next to Belle… and wastes no time in devouring the girl. She had decided! And there was obody to tell her any issues with her plan. She was sure she could figure them out.

Belle hardly resists. Nicole can’t believe how yummy the girl is. I wonder if it’s all the sweat. How weird…

Agents boast physical dispositions above normal humans. And it’s enough for her to pack away the normal human in her gut, her belly hanging taught from the gap between her shorts and top. Belle’s figure is visible inside. Her stomach seems almost skin tight, Nicole almost felt proud of that. Almost no belly fat to hide her proxy.

“Heh… you should be lucky proxy. Normally I save this for debt collectors I want out of my life… But for you, I’ll provide a personal ta-OOURRRP. Ugh. Gross.”

Her guts compress harshly around Belle. Even if she wanted to struggle… her confines were strong enough to keep her pinned. Fleshy contractions cramp her into a tighter and tighter ball.

BUWWWAARRRPP. Fuck. I’m gonna be gassy all day from this… Ugh. Let’s get out of here. I think… yeah, this carrot should be enough to escape… ugh, this data is old. Hope things go smoothly. Hang in there Belle. We’re getting out of here!”

Nicole heads out, searching the winding pathways of the hollow for her exit path. She would encounter several monsters, both evading them, fighting them, and outrunning them. The girl is constantly active, but she’s confident. She no longer has to worry about escorting some immobile girl. She was safe, inside her gut. Sure it got in the way… but it was far better than having to guide her around. And it wasn’t THAT annoying. In fact… Nicole felt like she was pumped up! Imagine the payday from Phaethon after Nicole saves Belle! Wise is going to be stoked~

Unfortunately… as with every opportunity that Nicole grasps… things aren’t going as she planned. The rush of energy isn’t actually the thrill of a big win… it’s Belle’s calories coursing through her. An agent’s gut is several times stronger than a normal human’s. All the movement from Nicole had left her body demanding calories… and it had a chunk of meat to work at for them.

Belle had started to slowly come out of the corruption induced haze she had been in. Only to find herself in acidic pit with walls crushing in from every angle.

“N-Nicole… where did you go? Did… Did a hollow monster eat me?”

But she hears the sounds of Nicole. Panting for breath, firing her weapon, vaulting. It’s always audible… and the kinetic motion is always pushed right onto Belle. It hurts, bruises form across her body as she’s forced into awful positions to bend with Nicole. She whimpers, lacking the energy to even cry. Tears stream down her face.

“Did… Did she ever care about me? Or am I just… She hasn’t even talked to me since…”

Her words are self-pitying rambles… that have no chance of being heard over Nicole’s mad scramble to survive.

Nicole hadn’t noticed as her belly softened Belle’s flesh. The pain she’d pushed onto her ‘temporary’ meal. The groaning melody of digestion was overshadowed by the blast of her suitcase cannon. The crunching of the girl’s bones drowned out by her smashing of the enemy’s face.

She was so determined to escape, that she only took note to comment as belches often interrupted her combat maneuvers and sneaking. Belle’s last breaths were minor annoyances for the girl who’d churned her. Belle had lost all shape. The taught form now looking like a large belly full of soup. All open air inside finding its way to the top and being belched out crassly in an enemy’s face. It all tasted of Belle. And Nicole couldn’t help but think it was oddly yummy…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Hah… Hah… Finally. Found this stupid… HUURAAAPP. Ugh. Okay. I know it’s pretty active in there, but I’ll get you out soon Belle. Just through here…”

Nicole at long last, can breath a sigh of relief as she leaves the ever threatening dome of the hollow they’d been trapped in.

“I thought I’d never get out… urp

Beep Beep… Beep Beep.

Looks like they’ve finally escaped the jammer too. Nicole opens her phone immediately. All business in her voice.

“Nicole of the Cunning Hares speaking!”

“I thought I’d never get through… It’s Wise. Is Belle okay? Billy said the two of you were chased into the hollow. Something about a to of gunfire? He seemed worried.”

“Hah. Of course. What do you take me for. I got myself and your sister out of there. It was a piece of caaaa-nghh…”

She can feel it coming… a massive belch. She instantly mutes herself, and belches crassly into her fist… and watches as a half-melted pair of underwear splatters against it.

“Wha…”

Her eyes widen. She glances down at her stomach… and sees a small pot belly. Closer to a filling meal than a girl in size. Even with Belle being rather tiny… she was absolutely and positively churned.

“So that’s why things got easier towards the end… Oh… and when I felt resistance jumping around… it was… her body breaking… Ugh. Who knew my stomach was so dangerous? Damnit… Thought we’d have more time then… 3 hours. Damn me. You really ruined her that fast? Not bad…”

She glances at her phone, hearing the worried voice of Wise asking about his sister.

“We’re gonna need new proxies… aren’t we…”

“Nicole? Is everything okay? Can you put Belle on?”

Nicole shrugs, the Clever Hares were used to getting out of tough situations.

And it often meant having to clean up messes.

“Guess we pivot…” she unmutes herself and puts the phone to her ear. “Belle is looking rough, we’re going to take her to our office. She needs to deal with her ether corruption.”

“Ether corruption? She was in there for quite some time… I think somebody on 6th Street has some meds that could help. I’ll come over soon!”

“Great. And remember to bring the pay for saving your sister’s life!” while saying this… she toys with the fat on her belly… The fat made from his sister.

“We’ll reduce your debt… no, we’ll get rid of it. This seems like a worthy trade.”

Nicole bites her lip as she thinks. Ugh… Looks like I can’t get anything else out of this. That’d be a great deal if I hadn’t eaten your sister…

“Deal… come on down wise. We’ll keep her safe…”

Nicole hangs up, just in time too as her lips part and a bra, melted almost entirely down to its wire frame, rockets from her lips.

“Fuck… wish I’d stripped her. Hope nothing else comes out… Well, let’s go tell the others we’ll need to handle Wise, eh Belle? Is it in bad taste to keep talking to you… Well, I guess it hardly matters, you’re basically just a lunch replacement now.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nicole’s hips sway as she walks, causing the chyme being pulled through her intestines to sway with the motion.

But… something strange was happening to Belle… despite being obviously digested… she could still feel. As if she was alive.

What… am I?

The Corruption had… changed her. And not for the better. The villi of her predator suckle at what is left of her. The swaying helping make sure every single villi has it’s turn at the Belle-slurry.

Is this… am I really inside her intestines? Is this… all between her hips? I’ve seen those hips for so long… I helped pick out clothes for it… for her. For the body that’s… that’s… Weren’t we friends…

As she laments within the limited consciousness she’s been cursed with… she is absorbed into Nicole’s bloodstream through the villi.

She screams as even her consciousness is sucked away. A poor girl… accidentally digested by another who just wanted to save her. And who was now planning to get her brother eaten…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ring a ling!

The bell attached to the door jingles as Nicole steps inside.

OH MY GOD. Boss. Did you put on weight? Your ass is fatter than mine! And I got implants for it!”

Of course… Billy noticed first.

“Billy, don’t you know it’s rude to ask a woman about her weight?”

Anby followed up, standing to meet their boss who had come in.

“Normally I’d agree… but your breasts are exploding out of your top… and your shorts are barely hanging on. Did you eat another loan shark? I thought they were only sending the big guys now. And besides, what happened to Belle?”

“Surely it’s not that bad…” Nicole steps into the room and closes the door behind her, taking one look at the mirror and seeing that it was indeed, that bad. Her top was stretched to its limits Breast fat leaking out from several torn holes. And the edges of her shorts were held together by only the sturdiest of fibers still standing. With her ass cheeks looking compressed in the tight bottoms.

And the chubby belly she’d gotten was just the cherry on top of it all. The plush layer of fat looking ridiculous on the normally trim woman.

“Ohhh… Damnit! Belle you stupid proxy! You made me fat!”

Nekomata… seemingly uninterested at first, perks up,”Nya!? You ate Belle!? They were on the table?! I totally wanted to eat her! Ever since that nyone job! But I was told NYAT TO.”

Anby steps to Nicole’s side, staring into her eyes directly.

“I thought we had close relations with Phaethon. Why did you eat the sister?”

“Well, I wasn’t TRYING too. But like… she was corrupted. And a liability. And well… now she’s going to cost me a small fortune to replace my wardrobe.”

Anby sighs… quite disappointed. She can kind of get the picture it seems.

“I’ll miss her… she always had the best movie recommendations. What about Wise? He may come for us.”

“We can hardly leave some super tech geek around to come for us… He’s heading this way to see his sick sister. Nekomata, you can eat him if you like. Somebody has to eat him… and my figure cannot handle another person today.”

“Ugghhh, you get the cute girl and I get the nerdy boy! So unfair…”

Anby speaks up to back Nicole up.

“Well… Thiren don’t get fat as easily. Billy is mechanical and lacks the right devices to eat him. And I would fight worse if my ass was as large as Nicole’s. She actually may deal more damage with an increased center of mass.”

“H-Hey! Shutup! You didn’t need to include those last details!”

“Fiiinnneeee, but nya’ll are taking me out to that fish place by the water later…”

Nekomata stands up and begins making her way out… likely to ambush Wise before her can even make it inside.

“One boy into kitty litter, on the double! He’ll be gone before you can even think about it!”

“Well… guess we’ll need a new proxy to work with. Billy and I will go ahead and get started on that. Nicole… uhm… take care of yourself.” Anby seems rather genuine about it. It was likely that she had been worried about her when she’d been chased into the hollow…

“Thanks… I’ve had a rough day… I could use some time to myself.”

Nicole sighs deeply as everybody in the Clever Hares steps out… and leaves her with one final task.

“Well… I’ve very much enjoyed our working career, Phaethon. But I think we’re due for a merger… and I’m getting rid of you two.”

Her ass swaying and rolling with its new fat. She couldn’t help but feel confident considering what she was about to do.

Unbeknownst to everybody… several layers of that ass… were thinking and feeling. This was her grave. Where she would live until the corruption faded… or she died with Nicole.

She had heard every word. The nonchalant behavior… Everybody’s acceptance of her demise, their plans for her brother… And was left crying to herself. Lost to the world…

Nicole steps into the bathroom… and prepares to empty herself of what was Belle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Disposal Ending~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Despite feeling a bit bad for what happened to Belle… This hadn’t exactly been done out of cruelty. It was an unfortunate accident. One that Nicole… was kind of enjoying.

“I don’t normally get to ruin cute girls, you know? Normally it’s big muscled men and they make the WORST shits.”

Nicole closes the door to the bathroom, and reaches to remove her shorts… and watches the last strands holding them together give out.

Sigh. Right… I’m fat now…”

She reaches to take off her top… and it rips. Her breasts bouncing free from their containment. Even her bra has given up supporting her. Though it still clings to her.

“... I’ll measure myself later… and ask Anby to pick me up some clothes…”

Despite that… her mood is still quite high. She pulls off her underwear, it having suffered a similar fate but being attached still by a gross, sweaty bond.

“Man. I really worked up such a sweat escaping… Honestly, I don’t think there was any way you were getting out of there. Well, even less reason for feeling bad. At least this way you got to be useful as lunch~”

She finally plants her ass on the toilet, taking a bit of satisfaction at how her ass barely fits on top of it.

“Aahhh…. The womanly desire to have a toilet barely fit your ass…You know Belle… maybe we’re cuter together. Your style was fine, but perhaps your addition to my curves is all part of the Clever Hare’s journey! Imagine all the commissions I can get with a little jiggle of you… And the sweet bonuses…”

Even as the first dense turd of her ex-friend gathered at her pucker, it was money that was at the forefront of her mind. Creamy mush quickly presses out and coils beneath the fat ass of Nicole. She parts her thighs and admires the pure brown coil she’s making.

“Wow, you got fucking destroyed! Hah… God. It’s crazy what our guts can do to regular people. If you weren’t so fattening… I’d be tempted to do this more regularly. But I am NOT a fan of belly fat. And you can bet I’ll be making sure those calories are burned.”

She presses her hands into the slight belly, notable for how it’s shrunk into just it’s layer of fat as she shits out what was filling it.

Belle… has to watch her own body be disposed of. The pucker open up and unleash the steaming mess.

That was my body… that was me… I can’t even tell! It’s all gone…. Gone…

She’s forced to accept reality. She’s just fat now. Just calories. Someday she may be used up… or perhaps she’ll be buried in new layers of fat.

…I’m not sure which is the worse fate… Though watching Nicole shit for the rest of her life hardly seems like the better option…

A small fart ends her shit. And she stands herself up, cleaning her pucker but noting how it was barely dirty… and she turns herself to what was Belle.

“Wow, you are the cutest shit I’ve ever taken. I guess even now you have an image to uphold. That’s so you Belle. I respect that.”

She chuckles looking down at it. It was pure brown, entirely consistent all the way through. And small. It was like, almost a normal shit. She had been brutally processed.

Nicole smirks, she kind of wants to share this… She pulls her phone out, and poses perfectly so her ass is pointed towards the toilet and the pile is in frame. She’s smirking cruelly in the image.

No way! She’s not-that’s still my BODY! You can’t text an image! Please! No!!!

She quickly thumbs through and adds a few stickers… one with the name Belle pointing right at her ass… and the pile of shit. Then sends it to the group chat for the Clever Hares.

Nicole:I’d like to congratulate our two groups for a successful merger

Phaethon will be dearly missed, but their addition to my ass will always be remembered

ALSO LOOK AT HER. ISN’T SHE THE CUTEST LIL PILE?

Anby:TMI. But yes. She is kind of cute. In a twisted way.

Billy:Definitely TMI. Though like, I don’t really do that so in a way I don’t really get. You get me?”

Nicole:Nope… But thanks Anby. you get me fam <3

Nekomata:MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. HE’S KITTY LITTER.

“Already? Nekomata really works fast… Thiren guts are kind of scary. Glad she works under me~”

She can’t help but smile as a picture comes in of Nekomata’s shadow standing over a far messier shit. Full of grey hairs and bits of what he was wearing.

Nicole can’t help but feel satisfied at having digested her meal far better… Even if it had taken far longer. And rather vigorous exercise. And a smaller meal…

Nicole:Okay, maybe shitposting is a bit TMI…

Nekomate:Just reporting the job’s done! Don’t want any doubt. Gave him the ol hyper-cat-gurgle.

Anby:Remember to bury it, we don’t want anybody finding it and looking for them

Nekomata:I ALREADY DID. I’M NOT DUMB. HURRY UP AND COME DOWN TO THE SHORE. I’M HUNGRY.

Nicole:Girl, my tna aren’t fitting into anything

Anby or you need to get me a replacement

im like, at least two or three cup sizes up.

and youre better off grabbing some sweat pants or something so I can figure out my waist

Nekomata:Not it!

Anby:I was already stopping by her favorite store… Billy seems to have a lead on a new proxy.

Billy:You’ll never guess what their favorite show is! I nearly squealed when they told me!

Nicole says as she lowers her phone.

“Anybody Billy found was immediately suspicious…”

Well, they’d figure it out. They always do. Nicole turns to the toilet, and gives it a little wave.

“Buh bye Belle~ Enjoy the sewers. See you never~”

FLUUSSSHHHH

And she turns and leaves the bathroom… her ass swaying with every step. Belle gets to see her body swirl away… unremarkable in its display but immense in its meaning.

Nicole would find something to fit her new body. New clothes in a similar style to what she always wore. Now only with that signature, Belle-jiggle. Spicing it up. The extra depth it gave her cleavage captured the eye of many a horny client. Nicole had genuinely been tempted to keep track of the monetary value eating Belle had brought her… But by then, the memory of their previous proxy was fading away… until they were forgotten in the rush of new, exciting ventures.

Nobody at the Clever Hares would ever realize Belle’s fate. While Phaethon’s story had ended in tragedy… devoured by people they had considered friends… there was always a bright new day for the Clever Hares.

Belle’s days only involved the darkness of Nicole’s underwear… and the pressure when she sat her ass down.
