My Refrigerator Turned Into A Dungeon

Chapter 83:

Call From Tsunami-san

"Well then, master, I'm off"

"Ah, have a safe trip."

The next morning, Serai-san left with a cheerful smile as if she had completely forgotten about last night.

I'm glad she's feeling better. Oh, last night? Of course, I suppressed my desires with strong willpower, and ultimately, Serai-san fell asleep after a gentle massage.

Getting carried away by temporary emotions and making a move on Serai-san would have been unacceptable.

"Phew But yesterday was dangerous"

Serai-san's cute sleeping face after the massage Those lips made me feel the typical excitement you'd find in a boys' manga, like, What if I kissed her would she find out?'.

But it's not Serai-san who became my girlfriend after years of being alone, it's Ruu. I can't betray someone as cute as Ruu.

"My funds are getting low, so I should go sell some magic stones."

Serai-san's belongings are still here, but she said she's going back home. I might be jumping the gun a bit, but I also need to pay my school tuition. So, I needed to sell some magic stones for that.

[Be~~~~tt be!]

I removed the seal made with duct tape. Ah, it's been a while since I entered the refrigerator dungeon.

I plunge my head into the dark space, and the dungeon's scenery unfolds before me. A ceiling emitting a bluish-white light. The walls and floors are made of brick-like stones. In the middle of the room, there's a makeshift base covered with cardboard known as the "landlady". Next to it is an old futon.

Along the left wall, there's a rearranged steel rack, and on top of it are posters and figurines of cute girls. At its feet are numerous manga volumes stored in cardboard boxes.

In the back on the right, there's a stack of Bug King's shells, and in the foreground, Tupperware and styrofoam act as substitutes for a refrigerator.

"Ah It's all gone bad."

When I open the styrofoam lid, the vegetables I had stored inside have withered away like dried flowers. Well, the carrots have turned into something like ginseng.

The silver lining is that there was no raw meat or anything. There's nothing that would rot and emit a foul smell, and although the natto has dried up like a rock, the raw eggs seem unaffected in appearance.

"Ugh, in any case, I have to dispose of these. It's such a waste."

I apologize for the waste with a bow. I feel a stronger guilt when I waste food than the average person.

"Well, whether I throw them away or not, I could try giving them to the slimes."

If I dispose of them anyway, I'd have to gather them in a garbage bag and wait for the designated garbage collection day. So, why not just dispose of them in the dungeon?

Alright, once I decide, I take action immediately. I gather the ingredients for disposal into the styrofoam box and head down to the lower floor.

[Puru puru puru ting ting ting]

"Oh? What's this? There are more than usual?"

For some reason, even though I didn't go far from the entrance to the lower floor, there were several slimes there.

"Well, whatever. Here you go, you guys are the lucky winners. Here, tu tu tu (plop plop)"

I feed the slimes with withered vegetables and natto as if I were feeding chickens. I placed the raw eggs near them since throwing them would break them.

[Tsun tsun nyurun juwawaa~]

The slimes that come into contact with the ingredients begin to incorporate them into their bodies, generating acid and starting to break them down.

"Hehehe It's interesting. If human bodies were transparent, I bet this is what the stomach would feel like."

The slime that took in the egg starts to break it down, but before it completely dissolves the shell, it spits out the egg. However, when the softened shell cracks and the contents flow out, it hastily takes the egg back in and resumes the breakdown process.

"Hmm It seems like it doesn't like eggshells. Well, shells are made of the same material as bones. No matter how much you chew on bones, you won't get any more nutrients."

From their actions, it seems the Slimes have sensory organs that allow them to taste things, similar to the sensation of taste. Otherwise, they wouldn't have reacted like that when the egg white appeared.

But monsters like Slimes and Giant Pillbugs, among others, seem to serve as nature's cleaners on Earth, just like certain organisms. If there were another world, maybe this kind of fantasy food chain has been going on there for generations. It's quite romantic.

Anyway, even Slimes won't eat bones. I've learned something new about them.

I do a quick cleanup of the front room of the dungeon and transfer some of the magic stones I've collected to the storage space I created. This way, I can sell them whenever I want. Nice.

After finishing all that, I'm about to head out when I notice my phone on the table flashing to indicate an incoming call.

"Hmm? Who could it be? Ruu already messaged me early in the morning"

I don't have many friends, so it's rare for someone to call me. Occasionally, I get annoying sales calls from companies that somehow still have the personal information I filled out for surveys a long time ago. Those calls can be quite persistent.

"Oh, it's Tsunami-san. She called me."

The call was from Tsunami-san, the energetic, slightly tough-looking, blonde, and savage lady who works at the super public bath's massage parlor. Despite her appearance, she's polite in her work and speech, and I respect her as my massage teacher.

"[Pururururu pururururu cha] Hello this is Ezuki."

[Oh? Eh, is this Ezuki-san?]

"Yes, I'm sorry for not answering your call even though you called me."

[N-No! It's fine! I also called you out of the blue!]

Tsunami-san is still so humble. But in customer service, you probably need to be humble like that. I should learn from her.

"No, no, it's okay. So, is this about the thing we talked about before?"

[Uh, yeah! Yes, it is!]

Tsunami-san and I made a promise on a beach in Izu. I would become her training coach, and she would be my massage teacher.

"Is that so? I'm available anytime."

[Uhh, really? Actually, my shift got messed up, and I suddenly got the day off So, I thought of Naruto-san and decided to get in touch.]

"I see. Does that mean today works for you?"

"[Um Well, yeah. I mean, it's just that I called you out of the blue!]"

"No problem at all. I don't have any plans for today, either."

[Really?!]

"Yes, it's fine. So, shall we decide where and what we're going to do?"

[Ye Yes!]

Unexpectedly, today became a lesson day with Tsunami-san.

Whether I learn at the chiropractic school or from Tsunami-san's on-the-job experience, it's the same thing. In fact, I might learn more practical customer service from her.

It's a valuable experience. Yeah, I'm getting excited.
