My Refrigerator Turned Into A Dungeon

Dungeon Life, Aka Dankatsu

So…

"Hehehe~! I win~~♪"

"You're filthy, Machiko! You keep getting in the way!!"

For the first hour or so, I instructed them on careful hunting while observing. But after a break, I let them hunt freely. As a result, Shark, who lost by a wide margin, is angry because Serai-san made an annoying winning move.

However, among the 4, Nina-san achieved the highest results.

She quickly adopted the tactic of having Azure find another slime while she was defeating one, making her movements very efficient.

Second was Ruu. Ruu, who diligently jogged every morning, swiftly ran around with Rose on the 1st floor, earning results with her legs.

So, Serai-san, who was seen provoking Shark and wasting time, was the lowest among the college girls.

"Don't worry, Shark. Your stamina is still different from Serai-san's. You'll be able to move soon."

Shark, dressed like an indoor operations SWAT. That's not suitable for running around. Additionally, he was planning to fight slimes with his own expensive-looking knife. So, I gave him a metal clothesline pole, previously broken during an encounter with King Goki, to use as a weapon.

But initially, Shark stubbornly refused to accept it, saying, "That's so uncool!" However, after a while, he realized the difficulty of crouching to defeat crawling slimes and reluctantly came back to retrieve it.

To Shark, I offered the grateful words, "In battle, flexibility is essential, utilizing whatever is available depending on the situation.". You see, even in kung fu movies, when surrounded by many opponents, they use chairs and other items, right?

You used to do that at school too, didn't you? Even if it looks bad, a broken clothesline pole is more than enough to defeat slimes. It's light, has reach, and probably increased your hunting efficiency.

We hunted together for about half a day, and the obtained slime drops were just over 2 kilograms. Well, it's the first day, so it's to be expected. Efficiency will likely increase once we get used to it.

"Um… Coach?"

"Yeah, what's up, Ruu?"

"Um… I found something like this from a slime…?"

Saying that, Ruu timidly showed me an orange-colored skill orb.

"Oh! I secretly looked forward to who would pick it up first, and Ruu was the first!"

"Huh!? Huh!?"

"Hey, what's this? What's it for?"

Peeking over her shoulder and embracing Ruka from behind, Serai-san also showed interest in the skill orb. Yeah, this is perfect.

"Alright, everyone, pay attention! I'm going to explain something important, so listen carefully!"

""""Yes~!""""

"The ball that Ruu is holding right, is about the size of a walnut and orange in color. That's a skill orb, the source of magic."

"Heh~ This is it?"

"Ah! Show me too! Hm, it kinda looks like a ping pong ball?"

Oh yeah, there are ping-pong balls in that color, right? But if you say it like that, it loses its charm, so let's not, Shark. It's smoother and shinier than a ping-pong ball, so it's cooler!

"So… what kind of ability does this have?"

"Hehehe… it's [Acid]. Skill orbs obtained from monsters generally match the characteristics the monster excels in. So, since the slime that attacks with acid drops [Acid], you see."

"Oh~… But I prefer something like fire or water."

"It's not like that. With this, you can make Coach's ‘fake lemonade' as much as you want."

Well, [Acid] is generally an unpopular skill, so I understand. However, if you level it up, it becomes incredibly powerful. So it's amazing.

"Coach, how do we use this?"

"Okay, then, close your eyes, Ruu, and strongly imagine, [May the power hidden in this skill orb become mine].

"Yes! I'll give it a try…! Nnuuuu~~…!"

[Po-wa, po-wa, po-wa…]

"Woah! It's shining!!"

"Incredible!"

"It's beautiful~♪"

"Ruu, you can do it! Just a bit more!"

"Yesss! Nnnuuuuu~~!!"

[Po-wa, po-wa, po-wa… Kyawaa~! Pawawaa~ka!!]

"""Kyaa! It's dazzling!!"""

"Ha~~~… Huh? (Blink, blink)"

"Ruu! You did it, great success!"

On this day, Ruu obtained her first skill.
