Hello there.

It must be late at night, because things finally calmed down.

But I don't have much to do, as there's no one to talk to.

I'll check on my abilities. I haven't done that in a while.

First, I'll review the different types of vending machines.

Vending machines are largely divided into two categories:

those that sell goods and those with automated services.

The first category does exactly what it sounds like: they sell products.

Super Draft Taste/ Milk for Everybody/ Ramune

Even food and drink machines alone fall into the subcategories of

Veggie Dietary - Supplement

Vanilla Lacto - Ice Cream

soft drinks, coffee, alcohol, milk beverages, candy, cooking products, and frozen desserts.

Fare Ticket

Revenue Stamp

That leaves cigarettes, tickets, postage stamps, postcards, revenue stamps,

Vending Machine News

as well as inspection stamps, newspapers, magazines...

Vending Machines

Today's another hot one.

Hello there.

Thank you very much.

Oh, nice and cold.

Next, when it comes to how automated-service machines can be categorized,

it's things like money-changing machines and pachinko ball dispensers.

Pachinko Ball Dispenser

There's disagreement over recognizing these automated-service units as vending machines,

but in my opinion they count.

That must be why "power washer" is in my function list.

And I only just recently noticed this,

but "rank 3" has been added to that list.

It seems I still have room to improve as a vending machine.

Vending Machine Rank-Up

To attain rank three, I need... three million points!

Boxxo - Rank 3

Points needed

I don't even know what it would let me do,

Boxxo - Rank 3

but getting to dream of evolving even when I'm a vending machine...

makes me happy beyond...

It's Boxxo! I found him!

You're right! He's over there!

Okay, let's go!

Fright chikin! Fright chikin! Fright chikin!

Yes, it's actually "fried chicken," but I can't pronounce it well,

so "fright chikin" is what ended up sticking.

Sorry.

Fright chikin!

Give us some!

Calm down already, there's plenty to go around!

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"!

Respective Wishes

Hulemy stayed up all night fixing the transfer circle,

so we've started evacuating the residents of the Origin stratum.

Their place of refuge is the Clearflow Lake stratum.

You know, I still don't know how many strata this dungeon has.

H-orw m-an-y s-tra-t-a a-re there?

"Horw many"? Oh, how many strata?

From the top, in order, there's the Origin stratum,

the Dead's Lament stratum, Clearflow Lake stratum,

the Labyrinth stratum, Scorching Sand stratum,

Dark Forest stratum, and then Dog Mountain stratum.

In addition, below that is the Everlasting stratum,

which has yet to be conquered.

So at this point, we know there are at least eight strata.

Come on, let's begin the evacuation.

Director!

Director!

It's cute!

Thanks!

Director!

Bye-bye!

The transfer circle is working fine.

What will we do regarding it, after this?

If we just abandon it, and the monsters misuse it, it'll cause trouble for other strata.

We could resolve that by finding the Netherlord's underling

and breaking their control over the monsters.

But I can't afford to spare enough manpower to go hunting them down.

In that case, how about leaving the search exclusively

to the Menagerie of Fools and the Band of Gluttons?

There's no point in being all dashing.

You would do that?

I wouldn't mind.

I want more info on the Netherlord anyway.

And it's gonna cost you.

All right. The better the results, the higher the reward.

He was going to do it even if she refused.

Mishuel's really got the moves, Aka.

I wish we had a flashy attack, too.

O water, form swirls and pierce!

Well done, everyone.

Boxxo, might I have something to drink?

Kocha Kadan

Your n-o-t f-ight-in?

My primary job is healing.

I possess no offensive magic, so I'm basically a bystander during combat.

Put the right people in the right places.

I'm not sure if he's serious or not.

It's hard to read Hevee's face.

Deep within the Origin stratum

Now, which way do we go?

The map says there's a small lake not far ahead, to the right.

To the left, it's a long distance, but there's a three-way split in the path.

I'd like to check out the lake first, but...

What's that?

Great, we can't even pause to talk.

Hevee? It's dangerous to get that close!

Pay it no mind.

H-Hey, Hevee?!

Captain, I'll handle this.

Oh, yeah? Have at it.

What? The enemies keep looking around.

Why aren't the monsters attacking?

I'm just guessing, but they probably see invisible walls.

Hevee excels in manipulating light to display illusions,

along with abilities that let him directly influence the mind.

Oh, like when he hid those people in the prison.

I have no interest in those who go barefoot, so there's no need to spare these.

He has the Blessing of Might, but it's not as strong as Lammis's.

Whoa, no mercy!

I figure we can safely leave this to him.

Well, let's split up into two groups.

It wouldn't be very funny if we all searched in one direction,

and they got past us by coming from the other way.

I shall go with the lake group.

Where should we go, Boxxo?

Hmm, I'm concerned about the group that includes Hevee.

If I had to choose...

Megumi Natural Water

Tha-t wa-y.

You want to go to the lake. Sure, okay!

Captain, we're going to the lake.

This search party is only half our members,

but we managed to wipe these guys out in no time.

There's the lake! It's so pretty!

We took care of things sooner than expected,

so why don't you all have a bit of fun in the water?

That's fishy.

The others are waiting, so we need to hurry back.

Well, the captain only said we need to be back within three hours.

Yes, that's true.

But...

Okay, I'll go play in the water!

Yeah, I will, too!

Uh-oh, it feels like they're this close to joining in.

Ladies, I will be here standing guard.

I think even just dipping your feet in the water and washing your hair

will make you feel better.

G-Good point. Want to go, Lammis?

O-Okay, maybe just for a little.

Wait here for a bit, Boxxo!

H-a-v f-u-n.

And form change!

Mr. Pressure

Oh my, this is no place to leave these.

Someone might steal them.

I had better take good care of them.

I wonder what Lammis's and Shui's smell like.

I knew it!

Too bad.

That wasn't hard to see coming at all.

Fully refresh your mind and body in there,

and wash away your worldly desires while you're at it.

We're back!

Hi there!

Oh, you're back.

Why is Hevee the only one who's soaked?

I fell in the lake for personal reasons.

Say what?

How about we have lunch?

Boxxo, if you would.

Of course!

I'm thinking of testing out a function that's a bit interesting.

Form change!

It's a vending machine store, where you can buy convenience store items 24 hours a day!

Family Market

And I get to show off how I arrange things in this limited space.

Rice Ball

Chili Shrimp Fried Rice

Chukadon

Fruit Milk

Okay, so it's the ideal lineup.

Strawberry Milk - Fruit Milk - Yogurt - Cream Puff

Come and relish the power of a vending machine turned into a mini convenience store!

Ham Sandwich - Egg Sandwich - Assorted Sandwiches - Rice Ball

Hello there.

Wow, it's a treasure trove!

Oh, there're lots of foods I've never seen!

W-Well, I'll just have to try them all!

I-I will too, from top to bottom!

Calm down, Mikenne! And get down here!

Seriously, it all looks so good.

We're going to have to try a number of things.

Which should we have, Aka?

Shiro, let's each choose different items, and go halfsies!

What's this? How does it work?

Oh, right.

Calm down, Mikenne!

They probably don't know how to open a rice ball, so I should demonstrate.

Plum Rice Ball

First you do this, then that... Huh?

What's that, Boxxo?!

Um, everyone!

I apologize...

But could someone...

Take this!

...take my place now?!

Boxxo.

Boxxo.

Boxxo.

Halt.

We'll probably find them somewhere down this hill.

Yes, most likely.

Deepest part of the Origin stratum

Mishuel, can you sense how many beings are down there?

They're too close together for me to be accurate.

We should be prepared for at least a hundred.

Is that all?

Then there's not much chance of us getting hammered even if our front line charges in.

Mishuel and I will take the lead.

That is fine by me.

Is there anything I can do?

Like, some way to slow down the monsters?

I could always use that!

Form change!

Boxxo? What's up?

M-oo-v a-s-igh-d.

Pachinko Ball Dispenser

This is kind of incredible.

Master Boxxo, what are these balls?

You're too close, too close.

M-oo-v t-r-i-p.

Um, if they move, the balls will make them trip and fall?

C-or-e-c-t.

We should declare Lammis a first-class Boxxo interpreter!

I think I hear monsters screaming from down that way.

They sound weird, and there's lots of noise.

Good, Boxxo's set the stage for us.

Let's get in there!

Yes, sir!

If there's this many of them, it's a safe bet there's a commander here!

Heading in!

Roaring Strike!

Wow. If I could get that strong, I'd be of more help to everyone.

You're fine, Lammis.

Kocha Kadan - Early Afternoon Tea

And I'd better get busy, too!

Recently, I realized I can switch out goods to get access to this candy,

without turning into the specialized vending machine.

You never know these things unless you try.

Launch!

Boxxo, can you handle the enemies behind us?

Hello there.

Letting me cover her back is proof that she trusts me!

It's a man's job to live up to that!

I know now that this works great as a blunt weapon,

so I'll take on any enemy that tries to attack Lammis from behind!

Roaring Strike!

They just keep coming.

We can't win if new ones show up as fast as we defeat them.

We need to locate the commander somehow.

I might as well try asking her.

L-a-i-s.

You called?

T-o-s m-ea o-ver there.

You want me to throw you over there?

No!

I don't want to use you like a tool!

Your p-ert-n-er.

"Pertner"?

Yeah, we're partners.

And let me say this, as your partner.

Nope!

Oo.

Boxxo, you're trying to put yourself in harm's way out of concern for me.

But it's the same for me.

I don't want you to get hurt either!

Yeah... You're right.

S-or-ry.

No need to apologize.

Our two hearts beat as one.

I attack, you defend!

The two of us can do anything!

Y-ea.

From now on we'll work together, and discuss a sure way to—

And so, let's both launch a suicide attack!

W-Wait a minute, miss?

Don't you think that's rather extreme?!

O-o-o-o-o.

Lammis? Master Boxxo?

U-Um, I'll clear a path!

Master Boxxo! Feel free to proceed!

No, no! Feel free to stop us!

Thanks, Mishuel!

That's Boxxo's #1 apprentice for you!

Oh, not at all.

Mishuel seems pleased by the compliment!

Urgh, here goes nothing!

To incapacitate enemies without defeating them...

That calls for pachinko balls!

The best product for slipping and falling would have to be these!

Launch!

Oh, this is entertaining!

I'll keep adding more!

That takes care of them.

Boxxo, where's the commander?

It's all green fiends. I don't see anything that looks like a commander.

Boxxo!

What're these?!

Mikenne! You okay? What happened?

Whew, safe. Thanks.

Listen, earlier, I heard what sounded like human screams from over there.

I think it was inside that mound.

There're still faint moans coming out.

Ah, that first attack must have done the job!

In that case, form change!

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

Power washer!

They're in there, huh?

Okay, I'll go look. Wait here!

Good luck.

There!

That must be the commander!

When the adversary can't stop them, you go for the ring.

That's one less thing to worry about!

L-ext l-ea-v.

Master Boxxo!

We opened up a retreat path!

Fall back to the pathway!

Now that we've made it back this far, it's mission accomplished.

I guess we'll question girlie here once we get back to the village.

Yes, we will.

But should you be taking advantage of this hectic situation to pat a woman's rear?

W-Well, I was just caught up in the moment.

It wasn't like I was planning on touching her there.

Oh, really?

Those two are so good together.

Y-ea ry-l-y.

What exactly is their relationship, anyway?

Captain, you always act like this.

These two should be old enough to know better, Aka.

As vice captain, I must say, it sets a bad example.

Hey, come on. I'm, like, not into butts at all.

I'll say. It's always embarrassing to watch.

They're "old enough"?

Isn't Vice Captain Filmina young?

Oh, you didn't know?

She might not look it, but she's older than the captain.

Wh-What? But she's so young!

Um, the vice captain is half... some race I can't remember.

Vamp fiend, Shui.

Vamp fiend? I've never heard of that race.

Um, isn't that a race that feeds on people's blood?

They're all beautiful people who look just like humans.

To add to that, I hear vamp fiends can also get nourishment

Kocha Kadan

from bodily fluids where the composition is similar to blood.

Which is why it isn't uncommon for them to bond with humans and have children.

I do believe.

That sounds lovely, like destiny!

That doesn't bother you at all, Lammis?

You know, it means doing that with a monster.

Many consider it an abomination.

Looks like Lammis's reaction came as a surprise.

But even if someone's race or appearance is different,

it doesn't change them as a person, so I don't mind!

Right, Boxxo?

Y-ea, y-ea.

And the Menagerie of Fools has accepted her.

So, she's just the same as everyone else.

Well, we're all a bunch of oddballs.

I just remembered, I heard the Menagerie of Fools has wishes they want granted.

Is it okay for me to ask what all they are?

S-Sorry. There are things people don't want to talk about.

It's okay.

I only have one wish—to get lots of money and make things easier for the orphanage,

so the children and I can eat all the tasty food we want every day together!

Egg Sandwich

Yeah, that's a simple, Shui kind of wish.

Okay, I'll say mine next.

My wish is to make Boxxo human again.

Does that mean you two have the same wish?

Y-ea.

I have a lot of them, but let's leave it at that.

Well then, I shall confess my own wish.

Hard pass, Hevee.

Oh, no. To hear everyone else's desire while I keep mine to myself

would be conduct unbecoming of a person.

My wish is to collect footwear from all over the world just before it wears out,

and use it to construct a great castle.

I have a dream on a grand scale, where once a year I receive, as a tax,

footwear that's been worn throughout the previous year.

That really is a shameful wish.

I guess it's our turn next.

I too share a wish with Shiro.

Right?

That's right, Aka.

Our wish is...

...to be popular with the ladies!

That's rich, coming from a couple of virgins.

Too bad.

What about the captain and vice captain?

That I don't know.

I asked them about it once, but they dodged the question.

Same here.

Same here.

Every person has their secrets.

There's no need to try to ferret them out.

Hevee has good things to say, when it's not about shoes.

Hurry it up, you guys!

Or we won't make it back to the village today.

Okay!

Well done, all of you!

Boxxo, may I trouble you to provide food and drinks for a feast?

Hello there.

Super Ice

Looks good!

Been waiting for this!

I'm so happy!

Fright chikin, fright chikin!

Yes!

All right, now to try out something I've been wanting to try.

Form change!

Koshihikari No-Wash Rice

A rice vending machine!

Now that I have Telekinesis, I can even prepare it myself... I think.

Now, how will I cook this?

Hey Boxxo, what's this?

It's cookery, right?

I know!

Koshihikari, No-Wash Rice

C-ook-in, please hel-p.

Okay, sure.

What should we do?

Form change!

A gas vending machine!

Gas Vending Machine

Pl-a-s o-n.

Like this?

Thank you.

Oh, this is a magic item that produces fire.

I did get some help at the end, but I think I can handle simple cooking.

But Boxxo, why'd you start cooking all of a sudden?

That's a good question.

You can already dispense all kinds of foods.

It would be hard to say I just tried it for kicks.

This rice is done!

I'll go get bowls!

I'll help, too.

This is good!

Yeah, it's tasty!

All I did was cook using my own abilities, but I'm surprisingly happy right now.

Boxxo, thanks for all you do.

I think I might cook again, from time to time!

You might win an extra item!

Next Time: Sweet Temptation

I look forward to your next use.
