Dungeon Refrigerator 98.1

Test

First Date

Sunday, 9:30 AM.

This place is the nearest station to the theme park. All the passersby are people heading to the theme park, walking merrily.

(Glad it's a sunny day. And I'm glad I made it on time...)

Today, Ruu is wearing a deep brown skirt. Her top matches, and underneath, she has a white blouse. But she thought it might be too plain, so she bravely decided to wear white stockings.

These were all hurriedly purchased online.

When I showed the clothes she bought with Machi-chan to my mother, she scolded me, saying, "What are you planning to wear!?" Machi-chan had picked them out, and the salesperson had said, "This is perfect for a date!" So I bought them. But when I looked at myself in those clothes at home with her mother, I couldn't help feeling embarrassed and wondered why I had bought such clothes.

So I consulted with my mother and hurriedly bought new clothes for the date. I'm sorry for making you spend money, Mom.

On this day, Ruu was excited about her first-ever date.

(Yeah... There's nothing wrong with anything, right?)

As she left the station, she saw her reflection in a window near the ticket gate and, as she had done many times on the train, adjusted her bangs.

And then, the boys started to approach Ruiha.

"Hey, you alone? Where are you from?"

"You're going to that theme park, right? We are too."

"If you want, let's play together."

At first glance, the boys seemed to be in middle school. However, Ruu, with her youthful appearance and short stature, was still occasionally mistaken for a middle schooler and was occasionally approached by younger kids.

"Oh, yeah, I see! You're waiting for your friends, right?"

"Oh, that's great! Then let's go around as a group!"

"Yeah, yeah! That's a lot more fun, I'm sure!"

The middle schoolers, who had come to the theme park on a holiday, had also styled their hair and adorned themselves with mismatched necklaces.

"Um, well..."

However, even though she knew they were younger, Ruu was not good at dealing with pushy people. Furthermore, she felt intimidated by the middle schoolers who were surrounding her and talking enthusiastically. At that moment, Ruu's eyes caught sight of Ezuki as he emerged from the ticket gate.

"Oh... (gulp)"

Ezuki noticed Ruu's change from a bewildered expression to a suddenly bright face and followed her gaze to see Ezuki. Then they, too, noticed Ezuki's presence.

"Ugh, what's with the family outing..."

"Come on, we got there first..."

"Hey, what's with that muscle? Is that seriously dangerous?"

They left behind muttered complaints and walked away.

"Good morning, Ruu. Um... who are those kids?"

Ezuki asked while watching the middle schoolers who didn't know the situation walk away. But Ruu was embarrassed about being mistaken for a middle schooler again and brushed it off, saying she was just asked for directions.

.....

And from the moment Ruu entered the theme park, she was truly in a dreamlike state. Everyone was amazed at the strength of her lover, Coach, and even the performers in mascot costumes couldn't hide their surprise at his strength. Ruu happily hugged them, too.

Watching this, Ruu felt on top of the world. She wanted to proudly proclaim, "This is my boyfriend!" at the top of her lungs

Coach's expression of amazement that everyone displayed at his strength was something Ruu cherished. She was delighted that Coach, who was so impressive, took care of her, a seemingly insignificant person.

.....

However, they could only manage to experience two attractions in the morning. 

As expected of a popular theme park, the time spent waiting in line for attractions was longer than the time they actually spent on the rides. Nevertheless, the mascots made sure to entertain the guests, dancing and performing skits to keep them amused. So, the two of them were having a great time.

As our stomachs started to rumble, we decided to enter one of the restaurants inside the theme park. Despite other options selling fast food, Ruu was thrilled that Coach had chosen to dine at a restaurant.

"Now, what should we eat?" 

They sat facing each other, opening their menus. At that moment, Ruu noticed the dish that the waiter was bringing to a nearby table, and it piqued her interest.

(Oh, that smells really good... Is that pasta? It seems easier when compared to other dishes, and if I were to cook it, would Coach be happy...?)

While pondering this, the coach noticed the movement of her gaze and called the waiter to inquire.

"Are you interested in that dish? Oh, I'm sorry. It's our special Peperoncino."

"Thank you. But Ruu."

"Oh, should I get that, then?"

(Yeah... Since Coach asked, I should order it. Plus, if I taste it, I can make it for Coach...)

So, at the restaurant, Ruu enjoyed Peperoncino, while Ezuki savored seafood cream pasta, and they had a delightful lunch together.
