As the fourth team arrived at the stomach chamber.
Giant Ymir's corpse began to change. Her exposed tongue retracted, and her mouth slowly started to close.
Just then.
Two figures raced through the maze-like passages formed by piled corpses.
Hooves stepped forward,
and an elegant figure leaped into the air, somersaulting inside just before the mouth closed.
"Kit, hurry!"
"Ah... okay~"
Kit was clearly much slower than Sally.
Just as the mouth completely shut and even the gaps between its teeth were filled, making entry impossible... splat! Something suddenly dropped down.
Kit, covered from head to toe in foul-smelling slime,
slid through a nostril full of festering tissue as though coated in lubricant, crashing down behind Sally.
Ugh~ Even Sally, who lived in the Black Forest, found him somewhat disgusting.
Kit did not care. He simply licked himself clean from head to toe.
At this moment.
Giant Ymir's mouth had fully closed. Due to the traits of a "turtle," her entire head retracted into her body, and every entrance leading inside was sealed.
As Kit licked the filth off his body, he also licked the rotten tongue-coating floor and unexpectedly obtained some information.
"There are traces of other individuals here. The scents are too concentrated to distinguish... Since we didn't find Boss Green and the others at the center of the maze, they must be here."
"Then move it!"
The two quickened their pace and spiraled upward along the esophagus.
The moment they stepped into the stomach chamber, the esophagus sealed behind them as well.

At the same time, with everyone now present, the entrance closed.
When Sally and Kit leaped onto the viewing platform and rejoined their team.
The stomach chamber began to tremble
