Dungeon Refrigerator 34.1

Test

Visitation


It was 10:00 a.m. on Sunday. I got off at the station designated for the meeting, passed through the ticket gate, and looked for Mr. Serai at the rotary in front of the station.

[I will tell you the details after we meet], so she doesn't have any information. However, [she had made it clear [Ezuki-san need visit Katsuhina-san], so when I ran to buy some clothes after receiving a call from Serai-san, she brought a set of canned mizuyokan as a gift.

"Ezuki-san, good to see you again. It's hot again today, isn't it?"

"Oh, good morning."

About five minutes late, Serai-san emerged from the ticket gate. Her attire is a dark brown knit summer sweater over a long white cardigan that seems to go down to her feet. She is cool and stylish today.

But today I am no better than her.

I went to a men's clothing store in my neighborhood and bought a refreshing blue-colored coordinated outfit that I saw a mannequin wearing in the casual wear section. So if I go to that store dressed as I am now, it's obvious that I am imitating the mannequin.

[Tomorrow I'm going to visit a female college student, what should I wear?] I asked, but they said, [Keh! Don't ask us about it!] as soon as they answer my question, I was kicked out. Cold guys, if I'm a riajuu too, I wouldn't ask you anything.

"Wow, Ezuki-san usually dresses like that. That's unexpected."

"Yeah, you're always fashionable, Serai-san.

"Thanks."

The clothes I showed her were a motorcycle rider-like appearance and a Bug King Suit. My ordinary clothes seemed surprising, and I made a good impression. Yeah, let's not say I went shopping yesterday. Besides, wouldn't we look like a well-matched couple walking side by side like this?

"It's so hot. Why don't we go to a coffee shop to cool off a bit?"

"Hmm, ah, let's do that. Let's do that."

It may seem selfish, but to be honest, I can't escort a woman, so I'm very grateful for the offer.

I entered not a bright chain coffee shop, but a coffee shop with an old-fashioned atmosphere that smelled a bit like the Showa period. I gave up my vinyl sofa seat on the wall to Serai and sat in an aisle chair.

"Welcome!"

I ordered a cider, and Serai ordered an iced tea. Incidentally, the mother also said "Arassaimase" to the next customer who entered the restaurant.

After the ordered items arrived and we took a sip and took a breath, Serai-san finally opened her mouth.

I got the impression that Serai-san was a bit confused today, unlike his usual lively demeanor. So I didn't ask her what was bothering me but waited for her to speak.

"Huh... Oh no~ I'm overwhelmed, Shippai Shippai~"

[Tehepero] like a tease, but not as energetic as usual.

"Yeah, can you explain what happened?"

As expected, even I could tell that something had happened to her. So I asked her softly to make it easier for her to talk.

Then, as if she had made up her mind, Serai-san began to tell me what had happened.

She told me to [Wait] if I received a dating offer from Katsuhina-san. She also said that she would tell Katsuhina-san well on her own. And she said it. I heard that she explained to Katsuhina-san [Ezuki-san accepts you positively, but he can't reply right now].

Katsuhina-san asked for an explanation as to why. She wants to know why you are saying that.

Serai-san, who had been under the impression that the quiet Katsuhina-san would be convinced, Katsuhina-san was upset and made that unexpected blowback. So Serai-san told a makeshift lie [Ezuki-san is married and in the process of a divorce settlement.].

I was turned into [A married man in a divorce settlement] without my knowledge.

However, when Mr. Serai secretly told Nina-san about my love story and asked for her cooperation at the university. Unfortunately, Nina-san heard it and found out Serai-san had lied to Katsuhina-san.

Then, Katsuhina-san said, [I consulted you because I trusted you! Why are you doing such a cruel thing!] She left crying and has not been seen at the university since.

Ah, yes. It wasn't anyone's fault, but it was bad timing. That's all I can say.

"So...you haven't been able to get in touch with Katsuhina-san for a long time?"

"Yeah, she hasn't responded to my messages, and he hasn't answered my phone calls."

"I see, so you came to visit me in person."

"I'm sorry, Ezuki-san. I'm sorry for getting you involved in something so strange. But I thought that if I couldn't clear up Ruu's misunderstanding in the worst-case scenario, Ruu might be convinced if you explained it to her."

"I see, I understand. I'll cooperate. By the way, what about Nina-san?"

Shizu-chi said, "I don't know which side to take, so I'll pass this time."

Aah, that's what the good Nina-san would say. Even so, Serai-san is also good at impersonating Nina-san.
