My Refrigerator Turned Into A Dungeon

Chapter 25:

Training Female Clerk In The Dungeon

"Hey! You're going to get seriously hurt if you mess around!"

When I went to the disaster prevention tent, an elderly officer was angry with me as soon as I opened the door.

He told me that a young man had already been taken to the ambulance twice today after being injured in the dungeon. To the elderly officer, I must have looked like an idiot youngster trying to enter the dungeon in costume. I turned to Serai-san, and she nodded at me. Oh no.

However, I had no intention of explaining the performance of the Bug King Suit here, so I played the role of an idiot youth trying to enter a dungeon in costume, saying, "Sorry~, we're just taking pictures right after we enter.".

"Please don't go any deeper!"

I was relieved that the receptionist seemed willing to process my application.

First, I had to fill in my name, address, age, and emergency contact information. I wrote them down in an ordinary college notebook. I felt as if I was recording my entry into a mountain climbing course, and then I was asked to pay 2,000 yen for the reception fee. I don't know the logic behind this, but he told me if I didn't pay for it, I would not be allowed to enter the dungeon, so I reluctantly paid for it. I knew this from the Internet, but I don't understand anything.

After that, they took my ID card and a digital camera photo of my face and whole body.

A white cloth was stretched over a corner of the disaster prevention tent, and against this backdrop, I held a small blackboard in my hand and took a quick snapshot. On the blackboard,  a date, reception number, name, and age are written in chalk. When they photographed me holding a blackboard, it's look like a mugshot.

Well, that's as it should be. This photo shoot is probably used for investigation when a person who became strong in the dungeon commits a crime, rather than for identification in case something happens to the person who entered the dungeon.

It is already well known that people can become stronger in dungeons, and the story goes that Self-Defense Forces personnel, who are public servants like police officers, are getting stronger as they bring their firearms into dungeons. Therefore, this response is not surprising.

Finally, I received a stern warning in the form of an explanation.

The reason is that it is inexcusable to carry anything we can use as a weapon, even for dungeon diving. In Japan, there is the Firearms Law and the crime of assembling a weapon.

When two or more persons assemble with the intent to jointly harm the life, body, or property of another person, and the person prepares a weapon or knows someone preparing a weapon, the crime of assembling a weapon (Article 208-3, Paragraph 2 of the Penal Code). The statutory penalty is heavier than the crime of assembling the weapon, with the offender will be punished by imprisonment for up to three years.

Well, this is position talk from the standpoint of a police officer.

Even so, in the current situation, it seems that you can get some eyes if you have a knife, Serai-san and I had knives in our possession, but he told us not to take them out in the street.

We then headed for the entrance of the dungeon, where we were told by a police officer guarding the fence, "Even if you ask for help, the police are not allowed to enter the dungeon.".

It's not like he was saying, "Anyone who goes through this gate should give up all hope.", but he was telling us that we were on our own if we went into the dungeon, so we shouldn't rely on the police.

"Other people are around, so don't throw things or do anything dangerous."

But I had done my homework on the Internet, so I just said yes to everything and let it slide. Finally, we stepped into the blackness of the familiar blackness.

I was the first to enter the dungeon, followed by Serai-san.

"""Uwaahh"""

I was startled by the many people near the entrance with surprised looks on their faces. And since they were all looking at me, I knew it was because of the Bug King Suit I was wearing. It is, after all, the outer shell of a real monster, so realistic that I was mistaken for a monster.

"Oh, I'm just a human. Don't attack me by mistake."

When I raised my hand and called out to them, they all lowered their weapons in relief.

"Don't scare me!"

"Sorry, by the way, what are you doing at this entrance?"

When I called out to the man who leaked his voice with a sigh, everyone also looked at me and made confused faces. However, when the goblins came there, the two men said, "Oh, it's our turn" and started fighting the goblins. Feeling the flow and the air of the place, understanding.

(Fighting near a doorway where you can escape quickly. Hmmm, what the heck? That's what I always do.)

However, this is not a monopoly dungeon, and many people were diving here. So, people are hunting monsters in turn, with fixed-point hunters near the entrance.

Well, it is not good for hunting if we stay here, and people around us will hear us even if we do it secretly. So I decided to go a little deeper with Serai-san.

.

"Hmmmis it okay to go around here?"

"Here?"

Yes, no wonder Serai-san was suspicious. The current location is not more than 30 meters from the entrance, and at every corner, you can see people hunting for fixed points. Since we are in the middle of such a straight pathway, it would be difficult for us to find a fixed point to hunt. But here, if you are having a normal conversation, people won't overhear it.

"Well, you keep your back against the dungeon wall and watch your right hand, and I'll watch my left hand here."

"Yes"

I quiet Serai-san, who was distracted and wanted to fight the monsters as soon as possible and gave her a brief explanation of the growth-filling theory and the life energy absorption theory.

Yes, perhaps because of the dungeon atmosphere and the fact that I was wearing a mask that hid my face, I think I could explain it without being more nervous than usual even though I was talking to a pretty woman.

"Whatso if you don't have room to grow, you can't grow much even if your level goes up?"

Serai-san has an expression of disbelief. Well, I have a preconceived notion that if one's level goes up, one can only grow so much, right?

"Well, at least as far as I've found out. I think there is a difference in the degree of growth for the same level up. So, Serai-sab, what is your current level?"

This is a question that I'll always ask, as long as I don't know what the standard for level-up is. If the standard value is the value of one's ability at level 1, and it differs from person to person, the difference in ability value between people will be very large.

"I am now level 4."

"Well, good job."

"I see!"

When I congratulated Serai-san, who confessed her level with some difficult fight, she seemed happy, and her expression changed brightly. If she was a girl, and if she was fighting monsters from behind with a spear-like wooden stick, level 4 was probably good enough.

"By the way, Ezuki-saah, what's your level, coach?"

"Naturally, it's a secret."

"Ah, that's right"

It's necessary to check her level to coach her, but my level is irrelevant.

Aside from that, I reminded her once again that if there is no room for growth in ability values, the growth rate will be low even if her level increases after defeating monsters. Otherwise, there would be a more definite rule of thumb, like for every all-10 increase in ability value, the level would increase by 1, or something like that.

"Hehso if there is no growth, there is no point in defeating monsters"

"Whether it makes sense or not, I don't think it's efficient or effective."

"Then what should we do?"

"Let's start working out now. 10 push up, ten squats, and three minutes of repetitive horizontal jumps. Let's try it here."

"What! Here? That is a dungeon!

I quieted the flustered Serai-san and urged her to work on her body.

"I'll keep an eye on your surroundings while you're working on your body."

"Yeah. "

"It's not mandatory, so you don't have to do it. But in that case, the instruction ends here. If you promise to follow my instructions while I'm instructing you. It's up to you, Serai-san."

"Umm~I understand. I'll do it, so please hold my coat"

To train her body grudgingly, Serai-san quickly began to take her coat.

"HahI don't have a shower or anything, so I don't want to sweat"

She complained, putting he hands on the dungeon floor, and getting into a push-up position.

"Yeah, that's what I thought. I wish they'd have a simple shower room by the lockers."

"I'll go. Please keep a good watch around me. Ichii ni"

She started to push up, so I keep my eyes on our surroundings during that time.

"Nahnahkuu~~~ no more!"

But she could only last up to seven push-ups. I wondered whether I should let her do 10 push up even if I reduced the load while she was kneeling, but it looked like she was really at her limit, so I decided to let her do 7 push up and let her move on to squats.

But still, I didn't think he could do less than 10 push-ups at level 4.

"Kuh~! Juuuu! Haaaa!"

But she did complete 10 squats. Her leg strength seems to be adequate.

"Hi, good job. Next, after you get your breathing under control, we'll do some repetitive horizontal jumps."

"Huhhuhwait for a minute, coach"

"I think you'll get better fitness gains if you put a good load on it, but okay, take a two-minute break."

"Two minutes! Two minutes! Soouhaah!"

When I told her the rest period was two minutes, Serai-san worked hard to take deep breaths and get oxygen into her chest to recover his strength. But still, is this in a level 4 state?
