It's only been around two hours since I've come to this world. If this is a dream, it's quite the long one. Still, within this time, I had a man inside me, and now I'm taking in a beast. Mama, papa, your daughter is so naughty, I'm sorry.

A living being is a completely different sensation from a steamed head. My body seems to be bigger on the inside, so I had no problem taking my prey in, even though it's more than three times my size. Since a Crawling Chaos seems to be very malleable, the beast's struggles are invisible on the outside, even though I can feel him stirring up my insides a lot. But it doesn't take long before it dies of suffocation or the pain of being dissolved alive. In either case, its movements stop and I can feel my strength returning.

So I'm actually quite strong? If I were a human, this wolf beast would have mauled me to death without me being able to even put up a fight. But now, anything that I can somehow put inside me can end up as food. Swallowing the entire wolf did not make me look fatter, so I really have a pocket dimension inside me, kinda like an RPG backpack space.

Now that the immediate danger of starving to death has been averted, let's gather some information. Even if I could wake up at any moment, let's enjoy the ride for as long as it takes. It's an adventure after all!

First things first, I need to find out where I've been transported to. It's not like I know any landmarks other than what I saw from inside my mother's castle, but I guess you could say that the barren landscape with the jutting jagged rock formations would indicate a certain proximity to the castle. In other words, I need to see how extensive this forest is first.

Therefore, I climb the tallest tree I can find. Halfway up I realize that using my tentacles to climb would be faster than doing it in my loli human form. But it's strange how quickly it naturally comes to me that I can utilize a method I wouldn't even have dreamt of using previously. Well, I guess now I am dreaming of it. Same for accepting that eating with my body rather than through my mouth is not only normal, but also more efficient.

Ah, this is bad. When I reach the top, all I can see is a sea of dark green, surrounded by mountains on all sides. This is most likely a valley inside a mountain range. Maou-mama, why did you send me somewhere this far away without even a return transportation circle for when you come to pick me up? Hah, don't tell me you just abandoned me here? Did I do something to anger you?

Hm, what's that? A huge cumulonimbus cloud is moving really quickly behind the mountains. Oh, it stopped, and now it's moving back to where it came from. That's no cloud... I have a bad feeling about this.

Now I notice that it looks more solid than fluffy, more like a mountain rather than made of condensed water vapors. So that's a living being? That's scary! I know which direction I will not be going in. But really, if those mountains are as tall as I think they are, that monster must be as tall as Mount Fuji. Actually, this is a dream, so why don't I go and check it out? Yep, I'll laugh danger in the face and rush headlong towards it. I'm sure that's the most fun way to spend an adventurous dream.

When I descend the tree, I'm surrounded by wolf beasts. I'm sorry I ate your friend, please accept his bones as a gesture of goodwill. It's not because they don't taste good and don't dissolve too well, alright? Here, I'll lay them out for you carefully, so you don't mix up a femur with a humerus. You'll eat him, right?

They growl in anger and tighten the circle. I'm sorry I laughed you in the face, danger-san! I can't fight this many at the same time! Back up the tree it is. I'm sure they can't climb. Ok, I'm safe for now, and I have time to think of a way to get out of this. Oh, I'm beginning to feel hungry again.

Maybe it's time to explore the limits of how my body works. I can feel that my teeth while in human form are actually as hard as the real deal. Does this mean I should be able to create claws or even blades? Kind of like a certain alien race that takes over humans through their heads, I guess? Ah, it came out well. My hand changed into a curved blade. Doesn't look too sharp, but that should be up to training. Ah, I understand my mother's plan in throwing me out into the wild now. Then again, would somebody without the knowledge of the real world have come to the same conclusion as I have?

Let's refine this blade a bit. I test it on a nearby branch and it makes a clean cut. Wow, this is really sharp. Okay, time to work on my besiegers. How about extending my arm like a whip? I don't need my other arm right now, so I'll use its mass to make it even longer. Now, only need to make sure I don't fall off the branch I'm sitting on, like a moron. I can feel the strength of the muscles (?) in my newly formed blade whip, and I snap it down towards one of the wolves. It leaves a deep gash in its flank, causing it to whine and jump back. The others also take some distance and look up at me. Are they fearful or angry?

One of them jumps up and tries to reach me, but I'm too high up. I swing my arm just as it lands and cut off one of its legs. This is going really well!

Without warning, all remaining wolf beasts leap forward and bite at the trunk of the tree I sit on. Have they gone crazy at their impotence? No wait, acid saliva! Large sizzling holes open up in the tree where they bite into the bark and my base is shrinking. With the weight above the trunk, it'll topple soon. I'm sorry I got ahead of myself!

Now that it's come to this, I can only try and quickly finish them off before the tree falls over. Swinging my arm all over the place, I open large wounds in the wolves' bodies, but it's already too late. Snapping sounds emerge from the trunk and I can feel the world tilting. Before I get entangled in the branches, I jump off, right onto the back of one that lost a leg from my attacks. It's unable to flee, after all, and I pull it inside my body. Ah, some extra nourishments for the battle.

At the same time as the tree hits the ground, the unlucky wolf beast is fully absorbed. The remaining ones are mostly wounded, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm surrounded. And without hesitation, they all lunge at me with their fangs bared, ready to bite down on helpless old me!

They run into countless blades. Like a hedgehog, I changed my entire body into sharp spines, onto which the beasts impale themselves. Leave alone affecting me with their acid saliva, their mouths can't even reach my main body. When I retract the spines and change back into my loli self, a circle of carcasses surrounds me.

Itadakimasu!
