My Refrigerator Turned Into A Dungeon

Asked For Guidance

Today, I was riding my bike to train Serai-san in the dungeon again. However, when I arrived at the destination, for some reason, she set a trap with three women waiting for me. Wait, what?

Anyway, I went into a nearby family restaurant and asked the three women about the situation. After all, it's too reckless for a shy geek to deal with three young women.

So, first, we interviewed Serai-san.

"I was so happy because my status went up so much last week, and when I told my friend about Ezuki-san, she said she was interested, so I invited her to come with me.

"No, Serai-san…? You promised to keep it a secret, didn't you?"

"Oh, I didn't tell you what Ezuki-san told me. I'm keeping it a secret. I told them that I was very happy with the coaching I received! That's all I told my friends."

Hmmm, I want to say to Serai-san, who talks so cheerfully like that, that you are like a monk.

"If possible, we want to form a party with only girls! So, Ezuki-san, please!"

When I had an unexplained expression on my face, I was worshipped by Serai-san, who put an apologetic wrinkle on her face, and clasped her hands together.

""Please help us!""

The two women bowed in unison. I mean, it's a table for four people, but the three of us don't have to sit in a row on that side. It's a little hurtful that I'm the only one sitting here.

But, well, I understand what Serai-san is trying to do. She wants her friend to be trained by me, and eventually, the three of them will form a party and dive into dungeons together.

"I understand. Then, I'll ask the two of you, I meet for the first time, please introduce yourselves."

Anyway, I accepted Serai-san's forceful offer.

If I said no at this point, it would only make the atmosphere worse. Besides, if I refused, it would be bad for my sleep to hear that Serai-san took the two of us to a dungeon in a place I didn't know about and that they were seriously injured afterward. So it would be best to take care of all three of us together.

"Well, let's start with Ruu, shall we?"

Serai-san, seated in the center, urges the petite girl sitting to her left.

"Hai~. My name is Nina Shizue. Thank you very much, Ezuki-san!"

The woman with a Kansai accent and long bangs hanging down in a bun on her face is said to be Nina Shizue-san. Her eyes are droopy with a hint of trifocals, and her mouth is smiling, giving her a mysterious sex appeal. In today's terms, I would say she is a downer beauty.

"Nice to meet you, Nina-san. Thank you both for introducing yourselves. As you've probably already heard, my name is Ezuki, and I've taken on the role of Serai-san's coach. Please give me your best regards."

I also safely introduced myself. The only thing the girls are looking for from me is my leadership skills, so I quickly explain the terms of our agreement without saying anything else.

As with Serai-san, I asked them to promise not to tell anyone about what I taught them, to follow instructions during instruction, not to answer questions they don't want to answer, and to call me "coach" while I'm instructing them.

Secrets are always fleeting.

Someone will soon notice my theory of growth potential filling and absorption of life energy, and it will spread. No, it may be that I don't know about it and that other countries and the government of this country already knew about it a long time ago.

But judging from Serai-san's reaction last week, this information has not yet spread to the general public. If that is the case, I would like to keep my knowledge as secret as possible to gain a much better position than others.

"""Sorry to keep you waiting.~""""

"Oh! You've got your protective gear in order."

"Yes."

We all moved to the goblin dungeon together, and as I finished changing first and waited outside, Serai-san and the others came out of the prefab hut after changing. With her friends there, it seems Serai-san was also changing in the locker room today.

And perhaps they had gone shopping together, the three of them were wearing cycling helmets of matching design, and in their hands, they were holding a simple but wooden shield and a kid's bat.

"Wow, you got a shield too?"

"Yes, I copied Coach's style."

"Bragging again, we made it. You didn't do anything, did you?"

"Hehehe. That's fine. I gave you a shoulder massage, didn't I?"

Oh, that's nice. I'd like to get a massage from Serai-san, too. And I wondered whose handiwork it was that Nina-san built it.

It has the same structure as the barbecue shield I made, with a hole in the multi-purpose drainboard with narrow gaps, a thick string passed through it, and the forearm and hand grip supporting it. However, they didn't seem to have the technology to process iron, so instead, they painted the drainboard black.

It looks lightweight, and this shield should be enough to take on goblins who don't have weapons.

"It's very well made. It's pretty good for a first-timer."

"Yah, I'm embarrassed to be praised like that by Ezuki-san for such poor workmanship."

When I praised the workmanship of the shield, Nina-san showed a surprisingly positive reaction.

She told me she created it after hearing about the barbecue shield I lent to Serai-san. I see. I wondered what kind of conversation I would have with a bunch of college girls. But it turns out we had some things in common in unexpected places.

During the exchange, Kateshina was swinging a children's bat with an anxious look on her face from a little distance away. I was also concerned about her appearance, so I called her over and tried to give him some advice like a coach.

"Carry the bat on your shoulder. If you swing it forward with your arm down from there, you can swing it with more power. After that, learn the pattern of swinging sideways, and you'll be fine in the beginning."

"Oh, yes! Thank you, Coach!"

Yeah, she's a nice girl.

"Eh~? Ezuki-san, you're only nice to Ruu! You weren't so polite to me when I was there~!"

As I was instructing Kateshina-san, for some reason, Serai-san's lips pouted, and she started complaining.

"No, no! Because Serai-san was able to do it from the beginning. You had a good streak, so I didn't need to instruct her in any way."

"Oh? Do you think I'm talented after all?"

"No, hahaha. Well, yes."

I don't want to say, "No, if you had talent, you could have finished off the goblin before I hit it with 20 shots.". I don't want to say that because it might put her in a bad mood again. This is another way of being an adult.

And now, although I have removed my mask, I am talking to the girls in my Bug King Suit, which gives me the appearance of the scary monster Bug King from the special effects heroes. But I was impressed at how mature Kateshina-san and Nina-san are for not mentioning it.
