Chapter 240: The Mistake Of The Frog-kin Ancestor (1/2)

-----

Chaos looked down into the food. There was an oozy green soup emanating a strange, mildly sweet odor. There were small worms and critters floating over it, as if they had been boiled on the soup. It looked a bit disgusting to the normal human being, but he was a monster and he had eaten grosser things before, so this wasn't half bad looking.

He tasted the soup, it was bitter, mildly acidic, and it also had these crunchy, slimy bites that the critters and worms were. The worms were softer than he thought though and had bitter and salty interiors that exploded inside of his mouth when he ate them. It was very disgusting but for Chaos it was ok.

The grilled worm and fish was better, the meat was tasty and firm, and he enjoyed them thoroughly unlike the other things, indeed.

And the boiled eggs were surprisingly creamy and sweet inside, the frog-kin ate them happily after enjoying most of the food.

After he was done eating, and so did everyone else, there was a slight rest before everyone began talking and asking questions… but Chaos became the focus of attention for everyone, and well, the clumsy Aruliel too.

Chaos still had to accept the fact he was trapped inside a giant frog's stomach, which was incredibly strong and for some reason incapable of escaping from this hellish place unless he were to do something big… which he could not accomplish, even if he tried his hardest.

But Chaos and Aruliel wanted to go to the outside world more than anything, there were their friends outside waiting for them after all. Chaos couldn't simply stay here forever, he had to get out of here and meet with Abyss once more… and Belphegor, and everyone!

”Do you know something more about this frog? I am… lost of words. I don't know what else to do and I am a god…” sighed Chaos.

”We know, we know something…”

”Hmmm… But should we tell an outsider?”

Froggo's parents seemed rather willing to speak, as his little siblings played around in the room.

However, his mother felt a bit doubtful about revealing the frog-kin's secrets to an outsider.

”Please tell us! It's the only way for us to get out of here…!” cried Aruliel.

”W-Well… It is said that you can technically move out through being pooped, but that's not true, the gastric acids would digest you before that, and your magic, even that couldn't withstand the acid for long, right?” asked Froggo's mother.

”Indeed…” said Chaos.

”We only know of that stupid and ineffective method… though, aren't you interested in hearing a bit of our tribe's tale?” asked Froggo's father.

”Tale? Wait… I also wanted to ask you but how come you ended inside a frog's stomach? An entire civilization? Even more… I saw the ruins… you worshiped it?” asked Chaos.

”Why yes, well, our ancestors long ago did so…”
