My Refrigerator Turned Into A Dungeon

Chapter 132.1

Chapter 132.1

Power Food

Right now, with a myriad of emotions in my heart, I headed to the kitchen of the provisions house. However, a towering, expensive, high-end refrigerator with an overwhelming presence awaited.

Zugogogogo

(Gulp)

Amazing. It's completely different from our shabby two-door refrigerator.

But I must not waver. I'm the [Wandering Chef] now, a man who has crossed the rough waves of this harsh world with just a knife and his skills.

Well, sort of.

This is a mindset technique I often use. I usually appear as the [Absolutely Going to Do Something Man], but I'm not just fooling around. I'm boosting my subconscious performance by strongly implanting the image in my mind.

If you thought, [What on earth?] then maybe try reading some well-known self-help books. Most books have something similar written in them. For example, imagining the successful version of yourself or thinking about the best path to take.

So, right now, I am creating the character of [Wandering Chef] to cook well, and by donning that persona through a mental cosplay, I'm elevating myself.

"Hey, Ezuki-san what's going on? Why are you staring at the refrigerator?"

"Oh, no. I just thought it's quite an impressive refrigerator."

Oh no, if I keep lost in thought, Serai-san will find it suspicious. Okay, stop dawdling, and let's quickly prepare the meal.

(Clatter.)

But when checking someone else's refrigerator, does it make only me feel nervous and excited? Anyway, as I opened the refrigerator, there were packs of natto and containers with pickles. Eggs, as well as cheese and butter, were the only things inside.

"I'm really sorry, couldn't go shopping today, so there's not much"

Ruu's mom, who was in the living room, showed up in the kitchen. It's embarrassing to have someone else see inside the refrigerator, isn't it? Me too, Ruu's mom.

"No, no, there's natto, right? That's good! And eggs too! Plus, we have pickles and umeboshi! That's amazing!"

"Well Ruu suddenly said she wanted to eat natto and eggs recently. Oh, and for the younger ones, there's retort curry on that shelf over there"

Thanks to the messages exchanged with Ruu, I taught her various good foods to build a robust body. It seems that serious Ruu was implementing them properly.

"No, Ruu's mom. This is more than enough. Actually, this is great! And, if it's okay, let me use some vegetables from the vegetable compartment."

"Huh? Is that so? Well then, leave it to me."

As Ruu's mom returned to the living room, Serai-san, while peering into the refrigerator, asked with curiosity.

"Hey, Ezuki-san, planning to make a simple menu with natto rice?"

"Yeah. But it's not just ordinary natto rice. It's a special power food based on natto. If you'll help, can you boil water for the pot?"

"Sure thing. Somehow, I was getting hungry too."

"Hahaha, I see, I see."

I'll first take the natto from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature. By doing this, the natto bacteria, which was dormant in the cold, will wake up.

(Rustle.)

"Hmm, in the chilled room, there's cabbage and onions. I'll rub the cabbage with salt, and as for the onions, let's use them for miso soup."

"Eh? Miso soup with onions??"

"Yeah. When you boil onions, they become tender and sweet, making a delicious miso soup. The nutrients that dissolve out are also intact, making it a very nutritious miso soup."

"Wow, is that so?"

(Click.)

"I'm back"

Then, there, Ruu's dad, who had been anxiously waiting for a safe return, came back.

"Ah! It's Dad! Hey, what happened, Dad?! Are you okay?"

Huh! Ruu, who went to welcome her dad at the entrance, screamed. What on earth happened?

"Well! What happened to you? That wound!"

"Hahaha just got pushed by someone. Fell, whoops."

"Kyaa! Are you okay, Dad?"

Serai-san and I were also curious, so we poked our heads out of the kitchen. Ruu was supporting her father, who seemed about to collapse, at the entrance.

Seemingly, Ruu is quite a hard worker. She diligently follows the training menu I suggested, and among the 3 college girls, she's in the best condition for growth.

Supported by Ruu, who was by his side, Ruu's dad, a short, older man in a navy suit, sat down on the entrance mat. However, his right temple was cut, and bleeding, staining the collar of his white dress shirt red, and even his glasses were cracked.

"Machi-chan! Please!"

"Yeah! The first aid kit, right!"

Through her flustered mom, Ruu called out Serai-san's name.

Taking the hint, Serai-san also ran to fetch the first aid pouch from Ruu's room. It was a telepathic communication, the synchronization of best friends.

Well, I briefly thought about going to check the wound on Ruu's dad, but here, the beloved daughter should administer first aid rather than an unfamiliar me.

Hmm, it seems he also cut his mouth; blood is seeping out there too.

So, let's add a little twist to the cooking and deal with the situation.
