Dungeon Barbecue
"Oh, auntie? Yeah, yeah, it's Ruri. I don't need dinner tonight. Well, I won't be ho for a while. Why? It's a training camp. Huh, when did I join the club? Yeah, yeah, it's whatever. That's the deal, so tell Uncle I said hi, okay? Bye! (Click) Phew"
After ending the call with Shark, who seed to have achieved sothing, I questioned him.
"Shark"
"Hmm, what?"
"That call just now?"
"Oh, that was my aunt. I'm staying at her place for now."
No way, you idiot! Why are you contacting my guardian without asking!? Well, no, that's not the issue. Why did you decide to stay at my place without permission??
"Hey, I heard Maachi and the others are staying too. Adding 1 more person shouldn't be a big deal, right?"
Oh no! Shark, you have no idea! Having you around will ruin my wonderful night activities with the three!!
"Well, it's been a while since I've seen Ruri, so it's a sha, right, Coach (pat, pat)"
I won't comnt on that, but Nina-san, perceptive of the nuances of a man's feelings, sensed my inner turmoil and comforted .
Exactly! I was really looking forward to the intimate ti with the upgraded Ruu!!
Argh! Internally, I bite my lip, shedding tears of frustration.
"But if we see sothing like that! We can't just stay away when we go back!!"
However, the four won who witnessed the dazzling phenonon of Skill Orbs' radiant glow and extinction in the dungeon were excited, not just Shark.
"Ugh, sour! Hey, Ruri! It's even more sour than earlier!"
"Really!? Ugh! It is! It's sourer, Maachi!"
Ruri imdiately started practicing the newly acquired [Acid] skill, creating acid in a bowl placed on the glass table. It was only a small amount, but she was ecstatic.
"(Tap, tap) Alright, everyone, take turns showering. We can't go to dinner without feeling refreshed!"
And I, like the adviser of a club activity, urged them. Honestly, they could chat forever if left alone.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"Oh, I'll go shopping while everyone is taking a shower."
"Then, can I co with you?"
"No, I'll quickly go on my bike. Nina-san, you stay here and supervise."
"Well, that works. It's cold outside today, anyway."
Yeah, thanks, Nina-san. But for this shopping, I have to go alone. Because it's a necessary asure for their ntal well-being.
The reason is simple. The at we're currently using as our main dish is from the dungeon's monster, the giant Cal Cricket. It's an insect, so it's low in fat, high in protein, and tastes decent. However, its appearance before cooking is extrely unpleasant.
Especially if Shark, who hates bugs, finds out about this, she'll probably start swinging a knife and chasing after .
So, I have to turn the Cal Cricket limbs stored in the spatial storage into at sowhere inconspicuous.
Now that we've opened the dungeon to them, it's too dangerous to do it at ho.

"(Sizzling glancing around) Hmm, this should be a good spot"
First, to really buy vegetables, I stopped by a cheap supermarket resembling a grasshopper shop and got various vegetables. Then, I headed to a desolate riverside at night.
Of course, to dismantle the Cal Cricket limbs.
"(Rustling Crack! Squish Splatter!) Splash!"
In the dark night, eerie and unsettling sounds echoed.
Still, I hurried with the dismantling. I didn't want to stand out, but I didn't want to spend too much ti, so I worked under an overpass. However, when a train passed, it was okay, but when it didn't, the sounds seed to echo even more, making feel like I was making too much noise.
"(Rustling)"
"Huh, what's that? Oh, it's just a cat."
Turning around at the unexpected noise, I saw a kitten with a spotted pattern. Timidly observing, it peeked from the dry grass.
Hmmm? It managed to avoid being eaten by the monsters overflowing with Dungeon Stampedes.
Rats monster even attacked people's pets, they said. Well, seeing just this one kitten, maybe its siblings or parents were taken out by the monsters.
"There, there, are you hungry? It's cold, and being hungry makes you want to die, right? Eat this and regain your strength. (toss)"
From the freshly peeled Cal Cricket limbs, I tore off a juicy piece and threw it. The kitten, cautious but eventually picked it up, with a swift movent, disappeared into the dark grass.
"It's cold! Well then, let finish up quickly and go ho."
