Soon, it was the afternoon. The sun hung lazily in the middle of the sky, glaring down at the weary travelers. Wordlessly, they all decided to stop in a clearing beside the road for a break and have something to eat. Filia leaned back against a tree and closed her eyes. She basked in the sun’s rays, sighing contently as she lay there.

Filia grinned broadly, she was really happy and she wanted to share it with everyone. “I know we all go through a lot of shit together and our lives aren’t easy. I can’t remember a day that’s gone by where we haven’t been attacked by a vengeful enemy or ambushed by thugs. But even through all that, I’m still happy with my life because I have all of you. You guys are like my family.”

Filia reopened her eyes to see everyone’s expression after her abrupt speech, but when she looked around, no one was there.

“Where the hell did everyone go?”

“I could lay here all day,” Lina yawned, as she cuddled up with her new boy toy, Gourry. They were laying down in a field a small distance from the clearing, where just now Filia was finding out she was alone. Lina had removed her cape and was resting her head on Gourry’s chest. The soft beat of his heart set her mind at ease.

“I don’t think I could lay here all day,” Gourry said, looking down at Lina’s red mop of hair.

Lina looked up at him with a small frown. “And why not?”

“Because your freaking gut is squishing me!” The couple lying together would of looked like a very romantic scene, save for the huge stomach of Lina, which was resting on Gourry’s chest. The stomach twitches every so often, as the person inside it moved about. The pink blob was such a pain for Gourry because not only was it crushing him, but also Lina was using it as an excuse not to have sex. Lina had specifically told him, that under no circumstances would she put out if someone were inside her who wasn’t a close friend. Since Lina didn’t even remotely like James, she had told Gourry that sex was a big no-no.

“Don’t raise your voice to the Goddess, concubine.” Gourry twitched at the name and Lina laughed. Her belly jiggled with her laughter, causing it to ripple on top of Gourry.

“I am not Lina’s concubine. I’m her bodyguard, friend and kinda boyfriend,” Gourry stated sternly. He wasn’t some jigglo, he was a proud swordsman, that happened to be in a weird sexual relationship with James professed goddess.

“I don’t know, concubine sounds nice,” Lina purred, rubbing a hand over Gourry’s chest. The man huffed, but didn’t mind the prodding. Lina leaned in for a kiss. Her kiss never came because the next thing James said made her freeze.

“You should wear the title of concubine proudly, like I am,” James said arrogantly. Lina pulled her face away from Gourry and looked down at her belly in astonishment. She couldn’t believe what that kid had just said.

“What you just say?” Lina murmured.

“I said I’m proud to be your concubine. I will gladly take the task of your sex boy. When you are on your knees, moaning like a bitch in heat, as I plunge both your holes with my mighty rod, I will shed tears of joy that I’m serving my goddess. I know not many men will want the duty of concubine, what with your breasts almost being none-existent, so I will try my hardest to be the best lover.”

During his speech, Gourry winced slightly when James said he would take Lina like a bitch, but when he started on about her small breasts, Gourry tried to pry himself from under Lina and get away. Lina glowered, shaking all over, as she tried to keep from sending a fireball at her own stomach. She calmed down slightly, finding her cool to deliver a message to her second concubine.

“I think of you when I’m wiping,” Lina growled, and then activated the digestion spell. Lina gasped, as a surge of pleasure filled her brain as her body dissolved the boy in her belly.

“Thank you, Goddess,” a fading voice called out from inside Lina. The belly slowly shrunk down until nothing was left. Lina patted her now flat belly and rolled over on top of Gourry. The couple smiled to one another.

“So, now that were completely alone,” Gourry said suggestively. Lina nodded gentle and let her hand slide into Gourry’s pants. It goes without saying that James wasn’t missed by either of them.
