Chapter 57

I made a mistake with the update date for the casual chat, it was off by one day orz

I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for a day to read the story that was set to be posted...

○ Onion (Basement 2F)

When cut, it releases tear gas (syn-propanethial-S-oxide), which obstructs the attacker's vision.

Methods to deal with tear gas include cooling the onion, breathing through your mouth, and not chopping it.

The seedlings look exactly like long green onions, making them indistinguishable to the untrained eye.

Hokkaido is the top producer in Japan.

Common variety: Yellow Onion

Garage Dungeon exclusive variety: Sapporo Yellow, Sarara Red

○ Potato (Basement 4F)

A stealth variety that camouflages itself in the dungeon walls. It fires bullets at close range, a self-sacrificing type that attacks by wearing itself down.

Also known as "potato," named for its resemblance to a bell attached to a horse's neck.

Needless to say, Hokkaido is the top producer in Japan.

Common variety: May Queen

Garage Dungeon exclusive variety: May Queen, Hokkaido Akari

○ Eggplant (Basement 6F)

Known as "nasu" in Hokkaido. Despite being a major vegetable, Hokkaido ranks last in eggplant production nationwide.

When shocked, the eggplant releases thorns from its stem, which can be painful if they pierce you.

In the past, the stem was used to scrape away hardened warts.

Once considered a nutrient-poor variety, recent discoveries of its nutritional value have led to a reversal in its status.

Common variety: Japanese Eggplant

Garage Dungeon exclusive variety: ——

○ Cocco (Basement 7F)

A monster that is sold as food in the market. Instead of being part of dungeon exploration, it is hunted by adventurers who make a living from hunting.

If low-level adventurers can adapt to its unconventional movements using its wings, it becomes easy prey.

Well-known varieties include the military chicken and the Cochin.

Common variety: Chicken (Scientific name: Gallus gallus domesticus)

Garage Dungeon exclusive variety: ——

○ Melon (Basement 8F)

A monster with a round fruit attached to a long vine, bearing three fruits. It attacks by launching the seeds inside the fruit, a self-sacrificing type.

In the production area, melons are often cut in half and eaten as is, but children prefer watermelons over melons.

Surprisingly, Hokkaido is not the top producer of melons.

Common variety: Musk Melon

Garage Dungeon exclusive variety: Yubari Melon, Kirara Queen
