My Refrigerator Turned Into A Dungeon
Chapter 367

[Thunder]

Well, today too, Masaru and I are challenging the mountain dungeon.

I mean, he just insists on tagging along no matter what. Because of that, I ended up having to prepare his share of meals too.

Anyway, equipped with full exoskeletons crafted from boss-level monster materials—the Battle Suits named after the Bug King, Fly Queen, and Crimson Scorpion—we stride confidently into the pitch-black depths of the valley.

And there, we find ourselves in the dungeon, already deathly silent. The scorching sunlight and cicada cries from just moments ago feel like a distant dream.

Passing through the first underground layer, which has an earthy tunnel-like atmosphere, we kick aside the wandering mountain goblins in the cave-like second to fourth layers, aiming for the fifth layer—our previous stopping point.

"Gyaaaah!?"

"Huh? The drop from the mountain goblin is... its nose?"

Left behind by the mountain goblin, which vanished after letting out a filthy death cry, was what appeared to be its nose...

"Seriously, ears and noses. What, are we supposed to make a lucky face game with these?"

I pick it up and examine it, but I’ve got no intention of taking it back.

"Who knows, Egetsu-san? If you collect them all, maybe you can make an artificial goblin or something."

Ah, now that you mention it, that giant stinkbug had drops like that too. Well, either way, I definitely don’t need this.

"Breathin’s way easier with the new filter. Gotta remember to replace it regularly."

Nina-san seems pretty pleased, having just replaced the poison filter inside her mask.

We stopped by the home center yesterday and found some good ones, so we bought enough for everyone and swapped them out. Since we use [Acid] skills in combat, poison filters are essential for protecting our respiratory systems.

Of course, since the acid is generated by our own magic, it can be neutralized.

But in the heat of battle, there’s no time for that. So for now, equipping our masks with poison filters is the better choice.

It’d be nice if we could get more fantasy-style gear, like poison-nullifying rings or necklaces that boost status resistance.

......

"Ooh, a Skill Orb!"

"Eh!? Oh, for real? Nice, Shizu!"

Just as we effortlessly cut down the mountain goblins and descended to the fifth layer, a Skill Orb dropped from an electric rat Nina-san defeated.

"Getting it in one shot? Lucky~."

"Buuu~, I wish it had dropped for me instead~."

"Hey, Coach, can I use this?"

"Yeah, go ahead. You wanted an electric skill, right?"

Our party doesn’t have strict rules about loot distribution.

Or rather, we’re less of a party and more like family. Even though Serai-san was also eyeing electric skills, she doesn’t seem to mind Nina-san taking this one.

"Hehe. Gotta admit, it’s kinda cool~."

"Right? Fire and lightning skills just look awesome and strong~."

Hmm, so they’re into the flashy, popular skills like fire and lightning too.

Well, I guess the visual impact matters. If you asked me whether [Acid] or [Slime] has that kind of flair, I’d have a hard time saying yes.

"Alright, let’s try it out right away."

[Zap~, crackle~!]

Nina-san places the Skill Orb in her palm, focuses, and light erupts.

"...So, Shizu?"

"Yeah... got it. It’s the [Thunder] skill."

Level: 22

Race: Human

Class: Ninja Scholarship Student

Stats: ALL ~330

Skills:

[Acid], [Agility], [Stamina], [Compound Interest], [Slime 3], [Thunder]

"Oho, not just electricity, but thunder? And with your [Compound Interest] skill, [Thunder] should synergize well."

"Hey, Shizu. [Compound Interest] lets you pool magic, right?"

"Yep. Normally, you couldn’t handle that much magic, but with [Compound Interest], you can store up a crazy amount."

"I see. That might make lightning-based attacks possible too."

"I think it’d work great with [Slime] too. Like, spread slime on the ground to trap or trip enemies, then electrocute ’em—they’d be totally helpless."

"Sweet~. And not just that, you could also use slime whips to go zap-zap~!"

Huh, slime whips going zap-zap~? Yeah, that does sound cool.

...Wait, hold on. Now that I think about it, I’ve got [Paralysis] from that giant moth. If I combine it with this, couldn’t I do the same thing??
