Dungeon Refrigerator 118

Test

The Refrigerator's Secret Got Revealed


We held each other, cried, and laughed in each other's arms. It was a joy that our hearts could communicate. But exposing myself was embarrassing and awkward.

The suspicions and misunderstandings that clouded our hearts got dispelled when we confronted them directly, clearing up like magic. And the tears of grace washed away the things that had lingered in our hearts.

I'm so happy! Seeing them cry so happily in my arms.

"Sniff... So, why did Ezuki-san end up like this...??"

"Well, why indeed...?"

Yeah, that's right. Reconciliation doesn't mean it's a happy ending yet. Because I still haven't fulfilled my responsibility to explain.

A man who boasted strength and toughness suddenly became a woman. Understandably, they find it strange. However, explaining this in a few words is difficult, and it's far from something that could happen in reality. So, they might not believe it right away even if I tell them.

So, I stood up and headed slowly toward the old refrigerator in the room.

(Well, it's probably impossible to keep this refrigerator dungeon a secret from them anymore... So, let's reveal it now)

"Everyone, take a look..."

The refrigerator opened with a [Paka] sound. Inside, it got covered in black, serving as the entrance to the dungeon. When I touched the black surface, it rippled like water.

"This is my secret."

"Eehh! No way! There's a dungeon in there!?"

"......"

Serai-san was astonished.

Well, that's understandable. Serai-san had been staying in this room for days, and she didn't notice the dungeon next to her sleeping futon. Oh, but the reactions of Nina-san and Ruu seem a bit indifferent.

"Hey? Aren't you two surprised?"

"Well... Coach was really strong, so I thought there must be some secret... I thought he probably had a private dungeon hidden when we dove into the underwater dungeon in Izu."

"Y-yeah..."

What? The perceptive two seemed to have sensed it a long time ago.

"Hey! Can we go inside? (Zui!)"

Oh, no, Serai-san. That's not allowed. Right now, the front room of the dungeon gets filled with the Pixies dancing around.

"Oh, that's not allowed. This dungeon is very dangerous and terrifying. (Batam!)"

"Eehh, but Ezuki-san, you've been diving into that dungeon, right? (Buu!)"

Uh, Serai-san is persistent. Well, I guess I have to show them my prosthetic leg now. Look at this. Please take a look at my left leg. It's a golden prosthetic leg.

"Ehh? What's that!?"

"Hii...!"

"Is it true!?... It can't be."

When I rolled up my jeans to show them my prosthetic left leg, the 3 of them gasped.

It might be shocking, but I can't let them know that I was frolicking with the Pixies in the dungeon, doing [Kya Kya Ufufu] and such.

"In this dungeon, I lost my left leg. The monsters here are truly terrifying, grotesque, and violent. So, I don't want to take you girls to this dungeon..."

"......"

The 3 were bewildered and lost for words. Oops, the medicine may have worked too well.

"Ahh! But that doesn't mean everyone needs to worry about it. This is my fault. It's the result of being reckless. And even with this prosthetic leg, I can walk. I've become stronger too. So, there's no problem at all."

"Um... When I was staying here, Ezuki-san had both legs, right...?"

"That's right... I lost my left leg recently."

"So, while we lost contact, that happened..."

"Ugh..."

"Oh no, Ruu, don't cry. I lost my left leg, but I really like this prosthetic leg. Besides, I went through various things in this refrigerator dungeon and ended up like this, but I am who I am."

I casually spread my arms, showing them my appearance.

Yes. I still have the macho flavor of Ezuki, but I've transformed into an Amazon macho with a golden left leg. My appearance has changed a lot, but I defeated the boss-level monster, the Fly Queen, and obtained her life energy, so I'm even more powerful than before.

"Can't it go back to the way it was?"

"Well, I thought it would return to normal over time, but... it hasn't happened yet. I'm thinking of trying various things now..."

I crossed my arms and struck a thoughtful pose, but I couldn't come up with any good ideas.

"Even so... those are incredible breasts! What's that? They're even bigger than mine..."

"I-I! Even if Coach becomes a woman, I still like you, Coach!"

"Hahaha, thank you, Ruu. I also love you, Ruu."

"Hehe, Ruu-chan, you're flaunting it♪"

"Huh, no way..."

"Ah~... But I'm glad we reconciled with Ezuki-san. I've been curious since I entered the room, but what's that? It looks delicious."

Serai-san's gaze fell on a place where there was smoked meat from a giant stink bug.

"Oh, it's smoked meat. Just pretending, but I tried smoking it myself."

"(Sniff, sniff...) Wow, it smells really good. Can I try it? I got hungry when I felt relieved!"

"Oh, sure. Give it a try."

It's monster meat, but it should be fine. 

I've been eating it for days without any problems, and they should have stomachs three times as strong as an average person.

"Ugh..."

"W-What's wrong, Serai-san!?"

(Eh, could it be!?)

"Mmm~! This is delicious! Shizu, want to try it too?"

"Yeah, I'll take some too... Wow! This is perfect as a snack for drinks."

(Oh, is that it? Don't surprise me like that.)

The two of them tore the smoked meat from the giant stink bug-like squid and started eating it eagerly. 

Seeing that, Ruu also became interested and started eating with them.

Well, the meat of the giant stink bug tastes similar to chicken but with a flavor reminiscent of shellfish. 

It has an indescribable taste. It might be compared to putting chicken and shrimp senbei together in your mouth.

It's not exceptionally delicious, but it's light and easy to eat. The taste of the meat itself is mild compared to beef or pork, making it a versatile ingredient that goes well with any seasoning.

"Ah, that was delicious. But I want to eat more..."

"Yeah, I want to have a drink with this too."

Oh? It seems that the smoked meat from the giant stink bug is very popular with the college girls.

"Wow, you two really liked it? There's still a lot left if you want more. But today, I was thinking of making a hot pot using that meat."

"Eh! We're going to make a hot pot with this!?"

"Wow! That sounds great!"

(Hot pot... Um, how do you make a hot pot...)

"All right, let's have a hot pot party with everyone today!"

"Squeeee!!!"

When I proposed that, the three of them were very excited. Well, I never expected that the limbs of that giant stink bug would bring so much joy to them.

...

The 4 of us went out together, had a lively shopping spree, and returned. We bought ingredients for hot pot, alcohol, and honey for the pixies without forgetting.

"Well, can I ask you three to cut the vegetables I bought? I'll go get what I need from the dungeon."

"Why do you need to dive into the dungeon, Eguchi-san?"

"Oh, it's cooler inside the dungeon, so I use it as a substitute for the refrigerator."

"I see, that makes sense."

"I'll be back soon, so be sure not to follow me inside."

"Yes!"

[(Topun... Nyururi...)]

"Now, there are things to do, but first things first... [(Gotori)]"

[Pi-pi-pi-pi-pii~!]

As soon as I returned, the Pixies noticed and swarmed towards me.

"Whoa! Wait! I get it! Just wait a bit, ouch! Who just bit me!?"

[You're back late!]

It was like being attacked by a group of Pixies, pulling my hair, and some even biting my hand. It was quite a commotion.

"(Paka) Here, it's honey. I just had some business, and if you all take a lick, everyone will return to being cards."

[Woof woof! Kyun kyun!]

With the sound of buzzing wings, the Pixies crowded around the honey bottle. 

They licked the honey with their tongues, starting with the ones who became in a good mood. They turned back into cards.

"Last is the Queen. Here, have a lick. I'll call you again soon..."

While stroking the hair of the Pixie Queen who was licking honey and smiling, she turned into a metal plate. Unlike the other Pixies who turned into silver metal plates, the Queen's plate was rainbow-colored, like stainless steel burned by heat. It was like an SSR in a card gacha.

"All right, the Pixies are OK now. Next is—"

"(Gwan!) Kyah! Itai~! Yada, what's this smell? (Garann, gwa wa wa wa...!)"

(Oh, she really came...)

When I turned around and looked at the entrance of the dungeon, there was Serai-san who had inevitably hit her forehead against the outer shell of a giant stink bug, rubbing her forehead while grinning.
