My Refrigerator Turned Into A Dungeon
Dead & Reverse
The sunlight seeping into my eyes. And a cool, refreshing breeze caressing my cheek.
"Chirp! Chirp! Cheep cheep cheep..."
"Ah, birdsong... I can hear sounds... So, I came back to life, didn't I... cough!? gack! ack!"
Having not burned out in a blaze of glory, but died after slipping on horse manure.
But it seems, thanks to the help of Shiotarou and Pixie Queen, I managed to successfully revive.
(But, my vision is bad... And my body won't move??)
Even though my eyes should be wide open, the scenery isn't coming into focus and some kind of shadow occupies most of my field of view. Plus, even if I try to get up, a numbness runs through my limbs and I can't move them as I want.
(Ah, I see...)
It seems due to being kicked by the horse, my body is in a pretty bad state too, having things like a brain hemorrhage.
But in place of me, whose hands are unreliable, the Red Slime crawling out from my prosthetic leg brings a universal healing potion to my lips. Ah, the universal healing potion I entrusted to Red Slime 'just in case' has proven useful right away.
(Sorry... You're a lifesaver, Red Slime.)
Not just Shiotarou and Pixie Queen, but also Red Slime, who literally acts as my hands and feet, deserves great thanks.
So, receiving care from Red Slime, I swallow the recovery potion. The sweet liquid passes down my throat, settles in my stomach, and after waiting 5 minutes... The shadow covering my vision gradually fades and disappears, and strength returns to my numb limbs.
"Haa... Good, it seems I'm okay now..."
Even slowly propping myself up on my elbows, there's no pain in my body and my vision doesn't swim. The universal healing potion seems to have worked well on the brain hemorrhage too.
"You, you really did a number on me."
"Whuffle..."
The black horse that kicked the living daylights out of me.
Looking up at its rear, I roll my body to escape. I can't afford to get kicked again, so I get out of its kicking range. And just as I'm finally trying to get up from there, I hear Shark's voice calling me, tinged with complaint.
"Heeey! What're you doing, Jung? The foal's already been born~?"
"Ah, sorry. I slipped on this guy's manure and fell."
I can't very well say I was just kicked to death by a horse until a moment ago. Yeah, that's a really embarrassing cause of death. So, I wipe off the blood on my face with my hand to hide it and lightly joke to cover it up.
"Eww, gross! What the hell, Jung, you're covered in crap!"
"Hmm...? Ah, darn it, this is..."
I fell over on horse manure, spilled the basin water, and then rolled around in it. I ended up completely covered in poop. Well, but, this couldn't be helped.
That's right. I have just now revived as Poop Man.
"Uhehe, I'm Poop Maaan~"
"Gyaaaaah! Hey, you idiot! Don't mess around! Don't come near me covered in crap!"
And so, Shark's dirty scream echoed through the beautifully green pasture.
…….
So, with all sorts of things happening, the foal was born safely and I revived as Poop Man.
According to Shark and the others, Grandpa shoved the foal that had gotten stuck back into the mare's womb and had her start the birth over again. Umm, what a wild technique. But that explains why, despite it being a difficult birth, it was born so easily.
But that, too, is only possible because of Grandpa's wealth of life experience. Others probably couldn't have done it.
Even in the car on the way back, Shark and Yuzuki-chan were excitedly talking about the scene. Being women, they must have had their own thoughts about childbirth. If those two had a good experience, that's fortunate.
As for me, who revived as Poop Man, there was a change in my status.

My level hasn't gone up or down, so there are no stat changes.
It seems there was no weakening from game-like death penalties. Though there are probably slight fluctuations due to daily biorhythms or something, the stat counts seem to only change when the level changes. So the truth is, I won't know until the numbers change again. And similarly, there's no change in blessings or skills either.
But, for some reason, my race has become 'Half-Yokai Human'.
'Yokai' written with the characters for 'half' and 'mysterious'... That's probably the meaning, but what does this mean?? Have I ceased to be human? Or does the 'human' part mean I'm still barely human?
(Uuum, I don't get it...)
I jumped in the river to wash off the poop I was covered in, but since I still smelled, I was put last for the bath, and now soaking alone, I ponder.
My body soaking in the goemonburo shows no changes; no horns or tail have grown. The face reflected in the still water, made motionless, isn't split open or sporting extra eyeballs.
"Hmmm. No matter how you look at it, there's no change... right?"
I was taken aback by the race name change. But, the time I turned female was far more shocking than this.
(So, is that it? Is this change due to... karmic connections?)
First and foremost, I share my soul with Shiotarou, a salt spirit, and Pixie Queen, a fairy. It's like we've shared pieces of our souls with each other, so in that sense, I could also be called a spirit or a fairy.
Furthermore, since I'm married to the yokai, the Onibaba Musume and the Japanese Wolf Girl, if you think of it as joining the same clan, it wouldn't be strange for me to be registered in the yokai direction either.
"Hmmm... So, as a result of all those various factors, the most fitting race name to describe the current me is 'Half-Yokai Human'?"
Though, when I revived I was injured so I couldn't tell well, but now that I've calmed down, I somehow feel a change.
It's not a big change, but my vision feels slightly clearer and sharper. It somewhat resembles the feeling of getting new glasses.
"Umm... It's all rather unclear, but I feel really clear-headed~. What is this...?"
Well, I can feel Shiotarou and Pixie Queen's emotional waves more distinctly than before.
So, I'll take this positively as surely a good thing. Yeah, for now, there's nothing else I can do about it anyway.
