Hello there.

Good morning, Boxxo!

Hello there.

Good morning, Lammis!

Karios, Gorth! Thanks for keeping watch again today!

Sure. Nothing beats sweet tea at the end of a night shift.

I look forward to your next use.

Mhm!

I died and was reborn as a vending machine.

That's a bizarre situation to suddenly be in...

Good morning!

but I've found ways to make the whole thing enjoyable.

Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon

On the outside, a rectangular steel box.

Hidden within is a human soul!

In a world of wonder, I go to and fro on the back of my partner Lammis!

Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon

I am Boxxo! Hello there!

That means "yes"!

Hunters and Motives

It really feels like summer now!

Hello there.

Yeah, how time flies.

Oh yeah. It's easy to forget when there's a sky and changing seasons,

but we're inside a dungeon with multiple strata.

Once it gets hotter, I'll start selling ice cream.

Excellent Hyper Ice Cream

Boxxo.

Oh hey, Mishuel.

I have a major request for you.

Why the serious, formal look?

You see, I've been pondering an idea for a while now.

Boxxo!

Despite your steel body, you are noble and kind.

Your defense is top notch, and you can even revive the dead.

It makes no difference if you're a magic item!

I'm enamored with you!

What?

E-Enamored?

Boxxo! May I call you "master" as of today?!

By "enamored with," you mean platonically, right?

Is your answer "no"?!

Mishuel is a master hunter, but his social skills are abysmal.

I'm sure it took a lot of courage for him to say all that.

I'll be mature about this.

Hello there.

That means you accept!

Thank you, Master Boxxo!

Th-This hug is just a hug, r-right?

Somebody's got themselves an apprentice.

I'm impressed, Boxxo.

Wh-Whoa! Apprentice or not, I've got nothing to teach him!

All right, Master Boxxo.

The first thing I'll do is wipe you down.

C'mon, Mishuel!

I'm the one who wipes him down! You don't need to bother!

Oh, I see.

I apologize for being so intrusive.

Excellent, you're all here.

Director Bear.

Boxxo, Lammis, Hulemy, Mishuel.

We're about to hold an important meeting at the Dead's Lament's stratum.

I'd love for you to accompany me.

The Dead's Lament Stratum

These, along with the magic item Boxxo,

are the survivors of an encounter with the Netherlord.

So, that item is the much-talked-about box that sells unusual objects.

Director Origin

Dog Mountain Director

He also has other useful abilities that have saved us on many an occasion.

Oh yeah?

It is an important meeting, if the directors of each stratum's

Hunters Association are here.

Director Scorching

Let's get right to the point.

The Netherlord who appeared a few days ago is no doubt the Demon Lord's left-arm general.

That means trouble.

The Netherlord.

The mysterious four-armed skeleton that suddenly appeared

when we defeated the Dead's Lament stratum lord.

He stopped Hulemy's and Shui's hearts using magic,

but I turned into an AED, and my electroshocks successfully resuscitated them.

It's a relief that nobody died, but we can't let a dude like him run free.

That's Kerioyl, leader of the Menagerie of Fools.

I can't see his face, but he seems way more menacing than usual.

Excuse me. What is a left-arm general?

Outside this dungeon, far to the north, is a land ruled by the Demon Lord.

There's a Demon Lord?!

Well, maybe it'd be unnatural in a world like this if there weren't one.

If you regard the Demon Lord himself as the head,

the others are ranked in descending order: Right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg.

In other words, the left-arm general is number three in the Demon Lord's forces.

Number three...

What was a leader of the Demon Lord's forces doing in a place like that?

Demon Lord's forces? That's bad news.

They would have to get past fortified cities and empires to invade us, which seems unlikely.

So, what do we do?

He attacked association members inside the dungeon, on our collective watch.

We hit him with everything we've got, of course!

You don't get this fired up very often.

Letting him get away with that stunt would be bad for business.

We've got some skilled hunters who'll take part!

The Origin stratum will provide some, too.

After what he put my people through, it's payback time.

I shall take part as well.

I, too, wish to settle the score!

Count me in, too.

After what happened to Hulemy and Shui, I won't be happy until I sock him one!

Right, Boxxo?

Hello there.

Hulemy, you can help us by planning things.

Get real. That guy tried to kill me.

I'll pay him back firsthand.

Hulemy! Yeah!

I can see how enthusiastic you are.

Clearflow Lake will put its top people on this.

Let's all work together to bring down the Netherlord!

Yeah!

This is when I can't help but think, "If I only had arms."

It wasn't long before the aces showed up from each stratum.

Hi, Lammis, Hulemy, Boxxo.

You two are in the assault squad, too?

You bet!

Hello, Boxxo.

I'd been wondering where you'd gotten off to.

Let's see, think I'll buy the usual water and soup.

Today's the day I get lucky with those numbers.

Huh? The gate guards are one thing,

but why are the elderly couple I see every morning in the assault squad?

Unable to dispense prize Out of change - Vending - Yen

Boxxo, Lammis.

The school director!

I heard you were there when Shui needed you. Thanks.

She runs an orphanage in the Origin stratum.

I'm pretty sure she taught Shui archery, too.

Oh hey, Hoxie. You're coming along, too?

Have you been well?

Yes to both questions, Shimelai, Yumite.

These three all know each other?!

Does that mean the couple are amazing hunters, too?!

That day, ace hunters came rushing here from each stratum,

and we held a kickoff party prior to going after the Netherlord.

So many different types of people!

Chances are, each of them possess some powerful blessing.

What's with all the old folks?

This is no nursing home. Are you up for this?

Hey, you should mind your manners if you know what's good for you.

Come again? You tryin' to start something with me?

You know who we are?!

Oh.

Hello there.

What's up? A quarrel?

Hey Lammis, poke him a little and knock him out.

What, are you with these guys?

Yeah, I sure am.

But technically, I'm still trying to get them to join my group.

Captain Kerioyl.

K-Kerioyl?

You don't mean Captain Kerioyl of the Menagerie of Fools?

And what'll you do if that's me?

N-Nothing at all, sir!

I am Kerioyl, leader of the Menagerie of Fools.

Especially as my members are out of commission, I'm grateful for your help.

Oh! It's rare for the captain to greet anyone so politely!

By the way, Shui and the red/white twins have yet to recover,

so they're apparently sitting this one out.

Not that they wanted to stay behind.

My name is Mishuel!

I am young and inexperienced, but I look forward to your guidance and encouragement!

I am Hoxie, from the Origin stratum.

I am Yumite.

My blessings are a bit of healing light, a bit of swordsmanship.

I am Shimelai.

I know magic, and possess several blessings.

Once again, I am Karios.

I am Gorth.

I'm Hulemy, a magic item engineer and Lammis' childhood friend.

I'm Lammis.

And this is my partner, Boxxo.

Hello there.

A vanguard, rear guard, and recovery team.

That's a fairly well-balanced party.

Although our older members' strength has yet to be demonstrated.

I'm sure Captain Kerioyl will make good calls.

We start searching for him tomorrow.

Let's get revenge on that bonehead!

Yeah!

Boxxo.

Boxxo.

Boxxo.

Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon

The Dead's Lament Stratum

The following day, we split into several teams,

and each headed toward its search target.

I'm sorry to saddle you all with this dangerous task.

You never change. Still so formal after all this time.

That's right. We're all comrades, so no need to apologize.

There's a sight that brings back memories.

Everyone, there are monsters lying in wait up ahead.

Why don't Yumite, Hoxie, and I deal with them?

Another group effort with my senior members? Sounds exciting.

O light, enshroud my arrowheads.

Ah, three at once.

Well done.

She fights as dirty as ever.

Oh, really?

Looks like they're so far away, the monsters still haven't noticed us.

Then I'll give them an invite!

Good show, you three. Looks like your skills haven't declined.

Nah, we're not in top form anymore.

I'd better polish up my magic.

My cuts aren't as sharp as they were.

If only we didn't have to age.

I could never brag about this to Shui.

I'd best give it some thought.

Talk about impressive!

Boxxo, we'd better work to keep up.

Hello there.

This tastes so good!

I bet Shui would be jealous.

I'd like to try every one of his foods on this campaign.

Just being able to eat Boxxo's food every meal is enough to motivate me!

Yeah, you said it.

Come back for as many helpings as you want, if it'll up your morale.

Lammis, lower your center of gravity.

That'll make things easier, and improve your power and accuracy.

My center of gravity?

All right.

That felt great!

And it looked great.

You should get used to how it feels to fight when Boxxo isn't present.

I will!

Blessing of Might gives Lammis more strength than she can handle.

It requires effort to control herself.

Usually she has me on her back, which provides just the right handicap.

If she could draw out her strength well enough without me...

You can do it, Lammis!

Hey, Boxxo. You got a minute?

Hello there.

Something doesn't make sense to me.

It sounds like the Netherlord let Lammis go on purpose.

Hulemy...

If we'd been wiped out then, we'd never have reported back.

This assault force probably still wouldn't have been put together.

In other words, what if his goal is to use himself as bait

to gather ace hunters here to this stratum?

If you're right about that, we really fell for it.

Hup.

But I don't know what happens after that.

There's always the worst-case scenario,

but I'm not about to confuse everyone by telling them my speculation.

You're the only one I can tell, Boxxo.

Hello there.

Thanks, don't mind if I do.

Why not have some warm milk tea, and relax?

The flow of magic power seems odd.

It's increasing, and growing unsettled.

This could mean trouble.

The old guy was right.

Not long afterward, we learned that another hunter team had found the Netherlord.

Good, we got around behind him.

Hoxie and Shimelai will provide covering fire from here.

Understood.

Karios and Gorth, you'll stand guard.

Sure!

By your order.

Lammis, we have tons of aces. No need to go nuts.

Yeah, I'll do my best!

We're counting on you too, Boxxo.

Hello there.

Everyone else will charge.

Our goal is to slay the Netherlord, but don't do anything reckless.

If we buy time, reinforcements will arrive.

Yes, sir!

Yes.

Yeah.

Count on me!

Let's show him what we can do!

Form change!

Power washer!

Refreshing Mr. Pressure - Coin-Op Power Washer Osugi Cleaning Factory

And with Telekinesis—the new blessing I got in that last battle—

I've been training every night to build up my physical strength and dexterity!

Now I can even do something like this!

I'm really not a vending machine anymore.

But what else is new?

Wow, Boxxo!

You win!

Looks like we won't get anywhere until we defeat the Netherlord.

Yes, he appears to be using some sort of spell.

Everyone get away from there!

A vast amount of magic power is gathering to the Netherlord!

It's probably some big explosion spell!

Let's split!

Right!

But the other hunters!

I'm on it!

I suggest you cover your ears!

But I don't have any hands!

Or ears, or eardrums...

Major spell incoming! Fall back!

Why go and do that?

But was it in time?

Deploying barrier!

Well, well. No deaths at all.

Elite hunters are not to be trifled with.

All the monsters perished, but so what? I can always make more.

There's no way to win if this keeps up.

The one who has a chance to turn the tide of battle...

is me.

Ahh, the Blessing of Might girl and her magic item.

I'll be your opponent, if you can reach me.

Okay, it's now or never.

The real me is far above the battlefield right now.

Lammis flung me up here during the mayhem of that explosion spell.

What she has on her back is a magic item Hulemy made, the "Housing-Only Me."

The real me transformed, manipulated balloons using Telekinesis,

and is directly above the Netherlord's head!

Here goes!

Form change!

Japan's largest vending machine, which is placed at a certain fishing harbor!

Ice

It's been talked about on TV and is over 18 meters tall!

Here it is, this ice vending machine!

Go on and struggle, hunters.

Let's see if you can manage to reach—

Wh-What is that?

A vending machine!

I was ready in case I couldn't crush you right away!

Automated External Defibrillator

Release the lock and open this door

Before I assumed this huge body,

Coin Conversion - Vending Compartment Shock Absorber Transformation - Telekinesis - Change Paint Color

I switched back to the usual vending machine and prepared this!

Use according to voice and visual instructions

Thanks to me upping my physical strength,

my maximum electroshock is now off the charts!

Take this!

Boxxo!

Are you okay?!

Are you hurt?!

No damage anywhere?!

I'm fine, Lammis. As you can see...

Too bad. Too bad. Too bad.

He's still alive!

This staff is precious, you see.

I shall retrieve it.

But still, you did manage to defeat what was merely my left arm transformed.

That's worthy of praise.

His left arm? You gotta be kidding!

You defeated my offshoot, but I did still accomplish my original goal.

Original goal?

It was to gather all the capable hunters here.

Hulemy's hunch was right on!

If hunters or monster die inside this dungeon,

the dungeon itself accumulates power proportional to the power of the dead.

If I use that, I can produce more new monsters.

That is the way this dungeon works.

I run on points. Is it something similar to that?

That's why it occurred to me to kill everything in this dungeon

and produce a new pack of monsters.

Now then, perhaps some of you have already figured out what I'm doing?

Uh-oh. If all the aces are gathered here...

the defense of the other strata is stretched thin.

If they were to be attacked now...

It'd be the worst!

Now, don't you think you should hurry back?

You can transfer to each stratum.

But I'll see to it you can't go outside the dungeon.

It's time to begin round two.

Struggle hard and give your superb power to the dungeon.

You might win an extra item!

Next Time Mutual Understanding

I look forward to your next use.
