My Refrigerator Turned Into A Dungeon

Chapter 106:

In The Decisive Battle, Risking It All

[Valun! Valu~n!! (crack), Valururirara…!]'

Bathed in sunlight for a while, Ezuki took out his motorcycle to go shopping for the Fly Queen and planned to defeat her.

But then, two college girls appeared in front of the apartment where Ezuki had gone.

"Oh, Coach lives in this town…"

"Yeah, yeah, there was a ramen shop on the street. The garlic ramen there has a mountain of garlic, and master loves it. So even if master's breath smells a bit like garlic, master didn't mind at all."

"Mou, Machi-chan, don't say that!"

Ruu, who had been nervously looking around the town, blushed and tried to cover up the embarrassment of her breath smelling like garlic during the date.

"Look, there, there's master's… wait, huh? The motorcycle is not there. Could it be that he's out??"

As Mami said, Ezuki's motorcycle was not in the bicycle parking lot where Ezuki usually parked it.

"Eh, Coach is not here…??"

Ruu started to get anxious as soon as she heard that. Believing that she could meet Ezuki at the public bath last night, Ruu returned home disappointed when she couldn't find Ezuki at the public bath.

"Well, you know, those things happen. We didn't contact him, so maybe master is busy with school or something!"

Machi, for the sake of the dejected Ruu, offered the most positive interpretation she could.

"I see… if he's busy, he's busy, right? (dejected)"

However, even with that reassurance, Ruu continued to look visibly downhearted.

"Oh, right, right! In that case, Luu! It's a good idea to leave a note for master! That way, there's no mistake!"

"Ah… I'll do that! Machi-chan, there was a convenience store earlier, right? I'll buy chocolate there too! (Dash…!)"

It seems that Ruu wants to give chocolate to Ezuki along with the note, and she runs to the convenience store, leaving Machii behind.

Watching her retreating figure, Machi looks back at the apartment, thinking about the unreachable Ezuki.

(Geez, where did Ezuki-san go~! That's so pitiful for Ruu! Why won't he reply.)

…..

"At home in the late night, Ezuki returns to his apartment.

[Valu~n! (Creak, creak) Valururirara… Kyu…]

Covering the motorcycle securely, he slings the tank bag over his shoulder and ascends the stairs.

[Cha… Kasha. Gacha… Basun]

Using the key to unlock the door, he enters the room without noticing the paper with Ruu's message and chocolate in the mailbox.

…

Queen, queen, queen.

I've always been thinking about the Fly Queen.

The queen of the underground 10th floor, commanding hundreds of giant flies and causing a tsunami of giant maggots.

Can I really defeat such an incredible Fly Queen, I wonder.

But I came up with a plan and devised a strategy.

Still, whether it will work is uncertain. But if I don't do it, I can't avenge my lost left leg. So, I initiate action.

If I don't, I can never move forward.

For dinner, I stopped by a conveyor belt sushi restaurant and ate my favorite sushi to my heart's content. Even if this is my last meal, I want to have no regrets.

Just because it's the last meal of my life doesn't mean I want to eat extravagant things I'm not used to. If I can fill my stomach with plates of sushi that cost around 100 yen each, that's enough. After all, I've been surviving on the limbs of houseflies for a while.

So I'm grateful for the conveyor belt sushi that provides delicious sushi cheaply.

By the way, I've been into shrimp lately. In order to enjoy delicious shrimp, I must survive.

"(Fukyun…! Fukyukyun!) Well then, let's go! (Sukku!)"

…..josei

And thus, he descended to the 10th underground floor.

[Chill… Faaaaa~…]

Somewhere on this floor, the Fly Queen lurked. However, the passage directly in front, continuing from the staircase, showed no signs of monsters.

"Good, this is convenient… Mucus Wall!"

[Zumomomomo…!!]

In the dungeon corridor about 4 meters in height and width, a thick wall of slimy substance, about two meters thick, emerged. With a capacity of around 8 tons, creating this wall consumed more than half of my mental strength.

Still, this wall was crucial to the plan, and cutting corners was not an option.

[Buuun…! Bwan! Bubububu…]

"Hmm, reconnaissance? Right on time. Fire Shot! (Bo, bofyu!)"

A giant fly came flying down the corridor. Etsuki aimed his Fire Wand at it, releasing a fireball. The Fire Wand, equipped with homing capabilities, proved to be handy.

‘[Bon!… Ubuububu (Docha!) Bububububu…]'

"Hmph! I can't afford to deal with one or two flies now. Oh no! While this wand is handy against fast-flying flies, open flames are strictly prohibited in this corridor. I have to be careful."

This straight corridor and the sturdy wall made of mucus were crucial. I must not forget that.

"Let's see, up-down-right-left-right-left-AB, so in reverse, it's BA-left-right-left-right-down-up. Alright, Mucus Film deployment!"

He formed a thin, transparent film of mucus at three-meter intervals along the straight dungeon corridor.

This thin mucus was hard to see due to its transparency. So, giant flies with compound eyes likely wouldn't recognize it well. That was the plan. Once touched, this thin mucus easily tore apart. But once touched, it clung and stuck persistently.

I planned to entangle the giant flies and neutralize them with this substance.

"Hmm, the passage ends here, and beyond is a large hall… good, let's set up a mucus dome here and observe. Mucus Net! (Kyubaaa!)"

Activating the skill, a mucus net spread out, blocking the entrance and exit of the corridor like a spider's web.

"Now, next is this guy."

What he took out from the spatial storage were eight remote-controlled four-wheel-drive cars. High-performance plastic cars powered by batteries and motors, with smoke insecticides firmly attached to their bodies.

[Kashu! Topopo…!]

Pouring water into them activated the smoke insecticides. Etsuki turned on the power of the 4WD cars and sent them one after another towards the large hall resembling a dark underground reservoir.

[Gyuuuun…! Gyuuuun…! Gyuuun…!]

While the dungeon floor wasn't perfectly flat, the 4WD cars, fitted with large tires and geared for power rather than speed, traversed the dungeon's darkness without a hitch.

Well, this was a decoy and provocation.

No one believed that giant flies, let alone the Fly Queen, could be defeated with commercially available smoke insecticides.

Therefore, I had assigned these 4WD cars carrying smoke insecticides the role of a mobile signal fire, signaling, ‘I, the entity, have arrived on the 10th underground floor again.'

If anything abnormal got detected, the Fly Queen would undoubtedly make an appearance.

…..

[Jari! Shubaaaaaa…!! Poi!]

I toss a smoke canister toward the vast dungeon hall resembling a giant underground reservoir.

[(Shubaaaaa…!)]

In the distance, the smoke canister erupted in red flames, burning while producing smoke. An hour passed since then. However, the Fly Queen had yet to appear.

(Damn, the bait didn't work. Did they notice the trap? If I take any more time, the mucus I created won't hold. I need to rethink this. Huh?!)

[[[[(Uwan! Bwan! Ubuububububu…!!)]]]]

From a distance, a grating sound echoed against the dungeon walls, approaching loudly. And…

[(Katsukatsukatsu…)]

Amidst the grating sound of wings, footsteps were resembling those of a woman wearing high heels…

[[[[Uwan! Bwan! Ubuububububu…!!]]]]

(She's here…! A swarm of giant flies flying in disorder! In there… is the Fly Queen!!)

[[[[Buwaaaa…!!]]]]

[Katsu…]

As the giant flies spread out like blooming flowers, the Fly Queen, posing with four hands on her hips, emerged.

(Damn it. It looks cool! The main act comes in fashionably late!! But watch closely. I will make you pay for my left leg with your life!)

The Fly Queen posed surrounded by giant flies. Meanwhile, within the mucus resembling a spider's web, I gritted my teeth.

The showdown between the mysterious silver-winged Fly Queen and the bizarre bug man.

In this battle, I'll go all out! But I will emerge victorious!
