My Refrigerator Turned Into A Dungeon

Chapter 143.1

Meeting Her Dad

At the end of the month, the money I used to buy drops from Sanada Pharmaceuticals hadn't been deposited yet. But, banking on that, I decided to splurge on a new suit.

After all, Ruu's dad is a stern judge by profession.

For me, a working adult dating Ruu, who is still in college, if I were to greet him in anything other than a suit, there's a good chance of rubbing him the wrong way.

Moreover, Ruu has already spilled the beans to her parents and I'm currently unemployed. So, to improve my impression even a little, this expense is a given.

So, today is the day, the day I, Egetsu Nakihito, will greet Ruka's dad.

The day before, I even went to a high-end department store and already purchased an expensive fruit set for a gift. I've gathered information from Ruka that her dad doesn't smoke or drink. But has a sweet tooth. The water yokan from the previous visit was well-received, and this [expensive fruit set for a gift] should be a surefire item to soften any animosity.

"Hello, Coach! Today, Dad has been restless since morning!"

Exiting the ticket gate, Ruu, who had come to pick me up at the station, shared this tidbit about her dad.

Ruka's outfit today is a checkered waist belt one-piece. Since the weather is nice, she's taken off the fluffy, warm-looking coat and is carrying it. Yes, she looks like a proper young lady from a good family. She's incredibly charming. Gulp. I unintentionally find my gaze drawn to her well-developed chest.

"Come on, Coach! You were staring at weird places just now! Because my chest suddenly grew bigger, I have fewer clothes that fit, and it's troubling…"

"Oh, no, it's not like that… It's not Ruu's fault, and I'm really grateful to Ruu! So, when the money comes in, I'll buy cute clothes that suit Ruka well as a present."

Ugh, embarrassing! Who am I to say that? But if you can't say such things, you won't get along well with girls. I've grown too.

Indeed, Ruu has also grown dazzlingly. She was cute to begin with, but now even more so. With such a radiant smile and innocence, young men passing by seem unable to resist turning around and sighing in admiration.

Hmm, the skill that the Dungeon Boss-level monster, the Fly Queen, possessed, [Woman].

It's a skill whose practicality I don't quite understand. But it seems that this skill [Woman] has a significant influence on the increased femininity of Ruu and others who were affected by it or had it removed by sucking it out of me when I underwent female transformation.

"It's okay, Coach. Your face has already returned enough to that of a man…"

She must have thought I was lost in thought worrying about my face and voice. Ruu offers me such kind words.

"Thank you, Ruka. Well, shall we go soon?"

"Yes."

…..

"So, you're Nakihito-kun. Since my daughter got to know you, she's been smiling much brighter. Thank you, it's all thanks to you."

First encounter at the entrance of the Katehina residence, I bow deeply and greet Ruu's dad, who welcomed me with the [expensive fruit set for a gift] as a shield.

In response, I received such a reply. Ruu's dad adds, "Stop it, you two.", to Ruu, who laughs shyly, and Ruu's mom is in high spirits, saying, "Hohoho! Both of you. Have fun today."

Phew, it seems the situation isn't bad.

And as we settle on the living room sofa and chat, the conversation turns to my temporary form, ‘Egetsu Emi'.

"Oh, right, your sister, Emi-san, has been a great help. I want to meet her again and properly thank her. How is she doing now?"

"Oh… Emi has already returned to Hokkaido. She was worried about her friends in Hokkaido."

My persona, Egetsu Emi, acquired various settings while living at the Kouriki residence. Eventually, she became a character, a mischievous wild child living in the great nature of Hokkaido.

"I see, that's unfortunate. I wanted to invite her for a meal as thanks. Hahaha, her cooking was so delicious."

"Is that so? If you tell her that, she'll surely be delighted."

Hmm? What I served at the Dungeon Stampedo at the Katehina residence was the meat of a giant rhinoceros beetle, a monster from the dungeon. Well, it tasted good thanks to the skill [Salt] for seasoning, but… it's painful not being able to reveal the truth.

"Hmm… what's wrong? You have a gloomy face."

"Oh, no, I was just thinking about when I ate the dish my sister made when I was a child… Honestly, it was something I couldn't eat back then, so hearing the story is a bit unbelievable."

"I see? Was that so? Well, her cooking was really delicious. Right, Mom?"

"Yes, very. She proactively helped with the housework. It was a great help."

""……""

In response, Ruu and I can only exchange glances and laugh.

After all, the person involved is here, hearing the story firsthand. And the more I talk with Ruka's dad, the more I have to pile up lies, and while I put on a smile, my mood gradually becomes heavier.

It feels like I'm turning into the kind of psychopathic guy I dislike, who only pretends to be clean on the surface.

"Today, Ruu is enthusiastic about showing off her cooking skills for you, so please try it."josei

"Yes, I definitely will."
