My Refrigerator Turned Into A Dungeon

Chapter 116:

Carnage

Fantastic! I successfully acquired a beautiful Pixie Queen by turning her into a card.

As soon as I returned to the dungeon anteroom and summoned her, the stunning Pixie Queen appeared again.

She had long, shining golden hair, flawless beauty without a single blemish, and a fairy-like, glamorous figure with translucent white skin. All the beauty merged into a petite form of around 70 cm.

"Beautiful… That's no exaggeration to call it the pinnacle of beauty…"

The Pixie Queen floated without moving the transparent wings on her back. Well, considering she's a fairy and a queen, it's natural for her to float. Yeah, it's best not to nitpick the details.

[Hm…]

[Hmm… Kyu.]

Gently extending my hand toward her, the Pixie Queen grabbed my finger and tilted her head as if saying, [What is it?] Cute gestures on top of her beauty.

It seems like the Queen, like other Pixies, cannot communicate verbally. However, there is a mental connection with the beings summoned through cards, allowing for a simple understanding of intentions. The first Goblin I cardified, when I mentally commanded it to [Fight], started battling with a Slime.

Well, in any case, it's a delight. Now, let's quickly have some quality time with the Pixie Queen.

…..

[Topun…]

"Mmmmmm! Oh, it's dark. What time is it now…?"

After returning from the dungeon and stretching widely, it was dim inside the room, indicating either early morning or evening.

"It's 4 o'clock… (beep)"

[The ruling and opposition parties are working towards a vote on this bill, possibly within this week…]

Turning on the TV, the evening news was playing. So, it wasn't morning; evening was approaching.

[Snap, snap…! News…shakosha, shakosha…]

I washed my face lightly and brushed my teeth before heading out.

(When spending time with the Pixies, time seems to fly.)

Being holed up in the dungeon with the Pixies makes me lose track of morning, afternoon, or the date, feeling somewhat like Urashima Taro who went to Ryugu-jo (the Dragon Palace).

Speaking of Urashima Taro, he's welcomed by Otohime in the Dragon Palace, enjoys watching dances of sea bream and flatfish, and feasts for many days. However, watching sea bream and flatfish dance for an extended period — is that really enjoyable? Even a show by performing dolphins would become boring after an hour.

So, why did Urashima Taro find it so enjoyable? Going back to the original Chinese text referred to as "Urashima-ko," people said that the dancing of sea bream and flatfish in that text symbolizes "erotic scenes." In Chinese, it's something like [The fish are more prosperous than their eyes, and the luan is swimming with the same heart].

"Fish-eye level entertainment" represents the position of a man and woman lying down together, and "Phoenix-heart unity play" refers to the male and female muscle docking. Ah, I see. If that's the case, it's understandable why Urashima Taro got hooked for days. Any healthy man would likely become engrossed in such scenes.

It's the same for me now.

Oh, by the way, it doesn't mean I'm doing anything explicit with the Pixie Queen. We're just having a little quality time.

However, complaints arose from the Pixies about running out of honey during these interactions, and that brought me back to reality. So, here I am, preparing to go out to buy honey.

[Regarding this, the Self-Defense Forces are working to gradually eliminate dungeons that affect various transportation systems and major highways…]

"(rattle…spit) Eliminate, huh… But still, the ban on the general public entering dungeons continues. Boring. (blowing)"

[Rustling…]

Changing clothes and grooming myself. No matter how you look at it, I'm a pretty hefty Amazoness warrior.

Well, whatever. Let's go shopping.

…..

Being able to make the Pixies my companions has put me in a good mood after a long time.

So, I put on the earphones of my music player, let the music play, and head towards the entrance to put on my shoes.josei

(Now, let's quickly buy honey, come back, and spend more time with the Queen. Oh, right. Maybe I should buy some vegetables too. I haven't eaten anything other than Camadouma's meat recently…)

Gacha

"Kyaa…!"

"Eh, Ruu!?"

When I opened the entrance door, somehow Ruu was there, and we were about to collide by a hair's breadth.

"Hey, Ruu! Are you okay!?"

(What, Serai-san's voice? And I sense Nina-san. Why are three of them in front of my room!?)

"Hey, Ezuki-san! (Pull) What on earth have you? Ehh!!"

Serai-san, who forcefully pulled open the door, showed her face, and our eyes met with a sharp click. Then, she stiffened, and her breath caught. Nana-san also looked at me, showing a very surprised expression.

(Uh-oh, this is bad. If I'm noticed in this state…)

"Um, maybe it's a case of mistaken identity?"

"Lies! You just called Ruu's name! And if you look at the eyes, it's obvious it's Ezuki-san!! Ezuki-san, what happened to you? Why didn't you contact us? (Grr!)"

Uh, Serai-san is shouting so loudly that residents from other rooms are peering in, suspicious. Not good. If we make a commotion here, the police might be called soon.

Hmm, but if we go into a store like this to talk, the situation might be awkward.

"I-I understand. Let's talk in the room. For now, come up…"

Reluctantly, I decided to take the 3 of them to my room.

…..

The room was filled with a heavy atmosphere as the 3 college girls and I faced each other across a small glass table on a six-mat carpet.

Seika, seated in the middle, lifted her eyes and glared at me, radiating anger. Ruu, on her right, looked timid and seemed on the verge of tears, trembling as if about to break down. Nina-san seated by the window, was the only one who smiled calmly, but it seemed more like a poker face to conceal her emotions.

"Why didn't you contact us…! And, what's with that!"

In the oppressive atmosphere, Seika took the lead, firing off questions and what could be interpreted as insults. Well, there's no other way to put it with "What's with that!" if a guy suddenly turns into a girl.

(Now. How should I answer? No, it's too late to put on airs at this point. Yeah. This is it. Let's just lay out the truth.)

"Why? Isn't it Ruu and Seika who stopped responding even when I tried to contact you?"

Gulp

In response to my words, Ruu shivered, her shoulders trembling.

"I'm sorry, Ruu, for trying to kiss you forcefully. But I was worried when you suddenly disappeared during our date, and I searched for you worriedly.

However, my phone had a dead battery, and I couldn't get in touch. I couldn't find you either. So, the next morning, I tried contacting you many times.

I was worried… also about Serai-san. But even after three days, there was no reply. Not from Ruu, not from Serai-san. So I thought you both had rejected me, and I got tired of looking at the communication device. That's the reason. Well, do you understand now?"

I tried to speak calmly and without emotion. At least that's what I thought.

However, upon hearing this, Ruu covered her face with her hands and started sobbing, making the room's atmosphere even more oppressive.

"That… um…?"

In the midst of such a heavy atmosphere, Serai-san, who seemed to be preparing to refute or explain, stopped when Nina-san, who had been silently standing up, walked towards the table. Nina-san's move caught her attention.

But Nina-san, completely ignoring the Serai-san and my stare, smoothly circled the table. For some reason, she then sat right next to me.

"Machi… I'm siding with Coach this time."

"What?

Nina-san's sudden declaration caused Serai-san, and my surprised voices to perfectly coincide.
