Ares and the other cats were sleeping soundly within the extradimensional belly.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yao and Nanako sat at a spot not too far away from them.
This being her first visit to the extradimensional belly, Nanako was naturally awestruck by it. She stared wide-eyed at this amazing place and asked, "Is this also a superpower? It's so magical. Is it a space manipulation power? Are we inside Dust Ball's belly?" Inside her head, she thought, "Thankfully this place doesn't smell as bad as her mouth."
"Hmm, I guess you can say that." Zhao Yao was still communicating with Dust Ball to understand the situation outside. He continued, "Other than Dust Ball and myself, no one can enter this place without our permission. This is the ultimate safe haven. The thought of keeping you here did cross my mind."
"Erm, I guess I can pass on that." Nanako said as she wiped off the sweat from her forehead, "Will Matcha and Dust Ball be alright?"
