Cinderella x Red Riding Hood: Book 5 Chapter 2

## Verse 1

When Cinderella regained consciousness, she found herself **inside the belly** of a creature.

The stench was overpowering, and the sight of the writhing flesh walls was unsettling.

But then she noticed that she wasn't alone.

"Are you... **Red Riding Hood**?" she asked, turning to the girl who was eating cake with her bare hands, tears streaming down her face.

"It's not as yummy eating alone, and it doesn't fill me up. Will you eat with me?"

Although she felt that this girl was somewhat different from the one she knew, Cinderella answered kindly, "Sure." ...And mercilessly **shot** Little Red in the head.

Impressive you're still standing after that shot to the head.

 No one wants to play with me after all.

 She was the only one... My only friend!

 This sucks... AAAAAAHHH!!!

 If it isn't the chaotic girl...

 Preparations are complete. The stage is set for the 2nd round of the Elimination Arc.

 Red Riding Hood vs Cinderella!

## Verse 2

**Red Riding Hood (Reality)**

I can't keep playing forever.

Eventually, everyone will break on me.

There's no one left to accept me.

Then... I'll break and destroy everything until it's all gone.

## Verse 3

**Cinderella (Library)**

Red Riding Hood looks different. She's transformed.

Her pupils have turned completely black, the light in them gone.

"Is she a nightmare...?"

I muttered, as sweat trickled down my face.

## Verse 4

**Red Riding Hood (Reality)**

Play with me. Pretty-please?

Please don't break when I swing you like a toy.

Entertain me till the very end.

I want you to fill my stomach.

## Verse 5

**Cinderella (Library)**

She was always a fucked up kid, but now she's outta her mind.

I pulled the trigger and fired bullets at Red Riding Hood's head.

But she knocked them away with her bare hands.

"You! You're a monster...!"

## Verse 6

**Red Riding Hood (Reality)**

A monster. I am a monster.

And that's fine. I'm okay with that.

I don't need anyone to understand me.

I've been a broken monster from the very beginning. AHAHAHAHA!

## Verse 7

**Cinderella (Library)**

The fleshy walls around me squirmed and transformed into writhing tentacles, following Red Riding Hood's high-pitched laughter.

Before I knew it, thousands of them shot towards me, binding me from head to toe.

## Verse 8

**Red Riding Hood (Reality)**

This is my special playground.

Let's play with the doll now.

It even comes with an option to make it scream when you pull their arms and legs!

What will happen if I try pulling the neck this time?

## Verse 9

**Cinderella (Library)**

The sound of bones crunching made my vision distort.

...So this is the power of nightmares.

Then I'll just have to match it.

If that worthless girl can do it, so can I!

## Verse 10

*Before*

Cinderella resolved to **absorb** Red Riding Hood's dark consciousness.

A powerful force accompanied by a sickening sensation flooded into her being. "Ah... Aaagh...!"

Cinderella moaned in agony as her body was reconstructed.

Sensing the **abnormality**, Red Riding Hood increased her attacks with deranged laughter.

"Ahahaha! Hyaha!"

The **pink flesh** that was once Red Riding Hood writhed and squirmed.

(That's disgusting... I won't turn into that!)

I may be covered in ashes, a miserable woman stained with soot...

"...But I'm going to beat your ass and win!"

"I'm bored. Let's end this."

Little Red voiced a satisfied "bon appétit," right before the wall of **flesh** swallowed up Cinderella whole.

 Ahahaha! Delicious! Kehehe!

 At this rate it's all over...

 What point is there... if I lose my mind?

 I won't succumb... that easily!

*After*

"I'm stuffed. ...Hm?"

Red Riding Hood, who had consumed Cinderella, took a satisfying breath before an unpleasant **pounding** sound erupted from her **abdomen**.

"Huh...? It hurts...?"

Throb. Throb. Throb.

"Oww. It's hurts. My tummy hurts."

Throb. Throb. Throb. Throb. Throb. Throb.

"GRAAARRRRRAGGGHH!!!"

With a howl of agony, Red Riding Hood fell backwards, and from within her stomach emerged...

"You know, it's a hell of a lot more fun when your enemy is conscious. It makes torturing them all the more entertaining."

Despite being covered in blood, Cinderella elegantly brushed aside her **white hair**.
