Indeed, the Scarlet Hair Lady arrived quickly. If she had been any later, the two of us might have been completely digested.
Hearing Leon's words, the female journalist nodded and prepared to follow him back the way they came, through the Canine Deity's open mouth. However, they hadn't gone far when Leon stumbled and fell with a splash.

While the Canine Deity was alive, its pitch-black stomach walls constantly secreted digestive juices capable of eroding souls. Just hitting the stomach wall twice with his right hand had turned it more than half transparent.
And since being swallowed by the Canine Deity, his legs had been in contact with the secretions, naturally speeding up the "transparency" process. It's already not bad that they held up this long.
