Father-Daughter Bonding Across Time and Space Small Bargain - Definitive Edition chapter 4 by slappy

As the world outside of this being's abs came into focus, Blake saw the mirror in his room and, in it, the reflection of the one who ate him. He expected to see something clearly supernatural, like a demon, an angel, or maybe a frog person. But either this stranger was very good at disguising herself or she was just an attractive, curvy young woman. Her straight, black, chin-length hair reminded Blake of some pop stars that Jade liked to listen to. Her ample chest stretched her red crop top to its limit, showing off a bit of cleavage and exposing a midriff with a cute amount of pudge. Her short black skirt did little to cover her long legs, and part of the belly-bound mage wondered how it made her butt look. However, that thought disappeared when he noticed the pair of orange eyes peering down at him.

"Huh, you taste a lot like my dad," the giantess remarked, much to Blake's astonishment. A second later, a loud blorp came from her belly.

"Hey! I don't know who you are, but you need to let me out!" Blake yelled as he lashed out at the fatty sacs all around him and kicked out in front of him, hoping to break out of this woman's belly. But in the mirror, he saw that all his struggles accomplished was some jiggling and wobbling next to her belly button.

"You squirm a lot like my dad too," the young woman giggled. She placed one of her hands on her belly and Blake's gaze was drawn to the tidy nails with red nail polish. Then her hand slid over to his spot and the manicured fingers started stroking him, blocking his vision completely. The strange woman closed her eyes and moaned while rubbing her groaning, gurgling belly. The sensation of the shrunken young man's struggles was just so good. She had to indulge in it for a little while. "Man, this never gets old," she sighed contentedly before giving her belly a few pats. She took care not to strike Blake directly, thus allowing him to see the world outside of his abdominal prison once more, but the impact from each pat still jolted him along with the rest of her belly fat.

As the curvy woman opened her eyes, she spotted an unopened letter on the desk. This by itself would have been unremarkable, but when she saw who it was addressed to, she froze for a second before she grabbed it. "Blake Heart? But that's my dad's name!" Her eyes then fell on the chalk circle and arcane tome on the floor. "And you're the one who summoned me here? So you're a mage just like he is!"

"Wait a minute," Blake said as he came to the same conclusion as his captor, "are you saying you're my daughter? Like, from the future or something?"

"Well, sort of," the giantess answered as she bent down to inspect the magical implements more closely. "Your summoning circle used a combination of temporal and transdimensional runes. In other words, you summoned someone from the future of a different universe to your own."

"So ... you're my parallel universe daughter from the future?"

"Ding ding ding!" The young woman stood back up in an instant, eliciting a yelp from Blake as his whole world shifted so suddenly. She then stepped back in front of the mirror and placed her hands on her hips. "The name's Ember and one day I will be the greatest mage anyone has ever seen!"

"That's great, Ember, and it's nice to meet you, but you still need to let me out! You can't just go around shrinking people and eating them!" Blake went back to fighting against his confinement to Ember's belly, but her belly was simply impossible to break out of.

"Ugh, you really are my dad, aren't you," Ember grumbled as she patted her belly again, this time making sure she hit Blake so that he would settle down. The shrunken mage winced with each strike. "For your information, that spell I cast on you is one that I developed myself! I started with the standard shrinking spell, then I worked out how much protection magic I need to combine it with. Too much and you'd be impossible to digest; too little and you'd just die. Then I weaved in a domain-limited pain suppression enchantment so that stomach acids don't hurt you when they digest you. Combining all of that into a single spell is really difficult, you know?"

Blake wriggled underneath Ember's hand, hoping that this would get her to take it off of him so that he could speak clearly to her. Fortunately, she did slide her hand away from him. Unfortunately, she still had more to say before she would allow him to speak up.

"And you see this belly? It used to be flat as a board. Do you know how much food I had to stuff myself with to put on this weight?" Ember pinched some of the fat on her belly to emphasise just how much of it there was. "But this way, it's more comfortable for you in my belly. You can hardly feel my rock-hard abs grinding against each other because of all this soft and squishy belly fat." She then shook her entire belly up and down, jiggling all of the pudge within, including Blake. "See? Now you can enjoy being in my belly just as much as I enjoy having you in my belly!"

"Ember! Stop this and get me out!" Blake screamed as he was thrown around inside Ember's jiggly belly.

"No, I'm not getting you out!" Ember snapped, prodding her pudgy belly. "This is like the coolest thing I've done with my magic. Everyone else thinks it's awesome, so I expected you to be proud of me. But no, you always have to whine about it being wrong and dangerous and irresponsible. Well I've had enough! This time, you're gonna stay in my belly and you're gonna like it!" Once she finished saying her piece, the young woman sat down on Blake's bed and huffed.

Ember's outburst stunned Blake into silence. The imprisoned mage heard his captor's heavy breaths above him as well as the endless groans and gurgles coming from her belly. He had a lot of questions about what she had said up to this point. If she was such a talented mage, why was this the way she wanted to use her magic? Who were these other people who liked it? How much resentment towards her father had she been holding onto for her to treat him like this?

However, Blake didn't want to risk upsetting Ember even more by prying. "I'm sorry, Ember," he said softly.

"No, I'm sorry, dad," Ember replied. "I shouldn't have gotten mad at you when technically you haven't done anything yet. Plus, with this being a different universe, I should've known that things would be ... well, different." Suddenly, an idea came to her that made her smile again.

"So does this mean you're gonna get me out of your belly?" Blake asked hopefully.

"Hmmmmmmmm ... nah!" When Ember's answer caused Blake to start kicking and squirming in her belly again, she chuckled and rubbed her belly where she could feel his struggles. "Look, I promise I'll let you out later, dad. But for now, just enjoy it in there." Giving her belly a few pats once more, she rose from the bed to put her brilliant new idea into action.
