You win!

We're traveling through the forest to defeat the stratum lord

and turn the trees that used to be villagers back to normal.

Hyah.

My, my, what a bother.

I will absorb the felled tree.

The monsters no longer attack the village,

but felling trees will send them into a frenzy.

Barrier!

And launch reinforced plastic bottles filled with pachinko balls!

That smells so bad.

But they taste great.

Don't eat too much or you'll be too full to move.

The elder tree fiend stratum lord.

I guess it won't get mad enough to come after us.

It was originally gentle, a sort of guardian deity for this stratum.

Its attack on the village was an exception among exceptions.

This is all the Netherlord's fault.

Be that as it may, we must defeat it to turn the tree people back to normal.

Yeah, and pouring this anti-plant poison onto it should accomplish that.

The plan is to use Lammis, Kuroyata,

and the old man's magic to pour what's in those barrels into its eyes and mouth.

To do that, first we'll need to reach its base.

But that's still going to take a while.

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"!

Conflagration

Boxxo!

I can't move another inch, I'm so hungry!

Me, too! Me, too!

It's so cold.

Sucks that we can't start a fire.

I don't feel cold at all.

Not when I have this cloak I got from Boxxo!

It's the cloak from the weapon shop!

I bought it and gave it to Lammis as a gift.

Don't I get anything, Boxxo?

I look forward to your next use.

Way to dodge the question.

How about you save your love life for later, huh?

I'm so hungry, my stomach's about to evolve into a monster and eat me.

Oh, right!

I mustn't forget my duty as a vending machine.

It's cold, so how about some cup ramen?

No, let's make dinner a little more elaborate.

Form change!

Soba - Udon

Boxxo changed into a shape I've never seen!

Are these new products?

Hello there.

Soba - Udon

Kitsune soba Tempura udon - Press

Have you ever heard the term "auto restaurant"?

Cooking time left - seconds

They were 24-hour vending machine-only restaurants that were once built along highways,

Auto Restaurant

where motorists could eat anytime they wanted.

Orange soda Grape soda

They were a big fad, paired with the spreading craze of video games.

Open 24 hours Auto Restaurant

That is, until about ten years later,

when the advent of the convenience store saw their numbers gradually decline.

This is one of those retro vending machines that once took the world by storm.

Oh, this is different from the usual pasta.

It's kinda thick.

That's yummy and warm!

The thick pasta makes it more filling, and this soup is to die for!

What an unusual flavor.

That's because kelp broth is apparently rare in this world!

Me, too!

Me, too!

Me, too!

M-Me, too!

I'll have seconds!

Looks like they like it, but, heh heh.

Soba - Udon

Nah, we're changing the menu!

Form change!

Piping hot - Gutenburger - Cooks in 60 seconds

Huh? He turned into a different one again.

Do we get to eat the same thing as this picture?

Cooks in 60 seconds

It's brimming with meat juice!

This is a keeper, too!

Looks like this went over well, too!

Piping hot - Gutenburger - Cooks in 60 seconds

Whoa, Boxxo! This is really good!

It's nice and warm!

I'll say. I like this bread with the meat in between.

When I was a vending machine enthusiast in my former life,

I was content to go by myself from place to place, buying these products.

My friends frowned on this hobby as being a waste of time and money,

but I sure am happy that now it's proving useful to other people.

Hup!

Kikoyu and I are taking turns being in charge of meals.

We can't use fire, so all she can fix are fruits and vegetables that can be eaten raw,

but those are a big hit.

So yummy! So good!

There's plenty more where that came from.

I'll have more!

I think I feel a little annoyed.

Some decades back, there was this one elder tree fiend that was defeated.

I hear it was burned to a crisp with fire magic.

That started a great fire on this stratum,

and for ten years it was a sad place where neither monsters nor people could live.

That must be why fire is banned in this forest.

But it's kind of inconvenient, not being able to use fire.

That it is.

It's surprisingly chilly at night in the forest.

All the more so, after all the sweaty work during the day.

And everyone's covered in dirt. If only they could take a nice bath.

Wait a minute.

I have a hot-spring vending machine function, don't I?

Here's the next one!

Ready.

First, the foundation.

Above that goes the bathtub, and over there's the changing area!

This awesomely skillful DIY project has begun!

The handcrafted open-air bath is complete!

That was quick!

Hot water time!

Looking good.

Hulemy's design was flawless, as usual.

This is impressive.

There is, however, no guarantee that monsters aren't nearby.

I shall stand guard.

And naturally, I swear by the gods I shall not peep.

You needn't bother.

Botan and Kuroyata will stand guard for us.

My first bath in a while, I can't wait.

Wait, what's Boxxo doing here?!

Hello there.

Aren't we going to need towels and that foamy liquid?

We can just buy that stuff in advance.

Did you forget?

Inside Boxxo is the soul of a human man.

That's true, but I'm fine with it, if it's Boxxo.

What're you two doing?

There are monsters in this forest. We've got no time to waste.

R-Right. I guess I don't really mind either, if it's Boxxo...

L-a-i-s.

What, Boxxo?

O-ver there.

Sorry, Boxxo.

Hello there.

I'll go ahead and buy enough for everyone.

Let's see, towels, the foamy liquid...

I guess we're the ones standing guard.

This is paradise.

Feels so good!

I think I'll sleep well tonight.

Warm and cozy!

What's wrong, Kuroyata?

Doesn't the sky over there seem kinda red?

It can't be...

Look out!

The forest is on fire!

Tell everyone to gather!

Boxxo.

Boxxo.

Boxxo!

Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon

Black-Black, what's going on here?

No use asking me.

I'm guessin' somebody's burned the elder tree fiend stratum lord to death.

We can look into it later!

Right now it's a race against time!

You're right. Band of Gluttons.

Yes, sir!

If the stratum lord's been defeated,

the inhabitants who turned into trees should also have recovered.

You four go back to the village, and tell them to evacuate to Clearflow Lake stratum!

The transfer circle should be functional!

You got it!

Full speed!

Yeah!

What do we do?

I know what I just said,

but we have to confirm whether the elder tree fiend's really been defeated.

If it hasn't been, the people who turned into trees will burn to death.

Either uproot or cut down the surrounding trees.

Kikoyu, I want you to dispose of every last piece.

Shui, keep an eye on our surroundings, just in case.

I want to slow that fire down as much as possible.

Yes, sir!

But will that be enough to hold back a fire that intense?

There!

I guess it's the only way to survive.

Boxxo, I need a favor.

Hulemy, do you have some secret plan?

Boxxo, can't you can change into a machine that dispenses highly flammable oil?

Hello there.

Do that, and spread oil from here to the other side.

What?! Spread kerosene around when there's a blaze coming?!

No way! That would be like digging our own graves!

I have an idea!

Trust me, Boxxo. Please!

Hulemy...

Hello there.

Thanks, Boxxo!

Good, that's the way!

Ahh, now I get it!

Boxxo?

What are you thinking?!

There i-s a r-eas-o-n.

Everyone, listen up!

This forest's trees catch fire strangely easily, and then burn up quickly.

So, if we burn these away first, we can keep that blaze from getting any closer!

So, that's it.

Sorry, I finally understand.

This is a gamble, though.

Damn it all!

The fire's too intense! At this rate...

I'll just have to protect us with my barrier!

But its range is limited!

To protect this many people...

I don't have time to mull it over!

M-a-s-i-v, m-oo-v.

Boxxo?

You're getting massive, so move...

You mean, move away from you?

Hello there.

Form change!

A-ther h-ea-r.

Activate barrier!

Points decreased by 10.

Points decreased by 10. Points decreased by 10. Points decreased by 10.

That's some real heat!

I'm spending points like crazy!

It's a little hot, but I think we're okay.

You saved us, Boxxo.

Your W-el-co-m.

P-oin-t-s lo.

Okay.

Thanks for doing that for us, Boxxo.

If we get back safely, I'll put in lots of coins.

Sorry, Boxxo.

I'll smash my piggy bank and help out, too!

The thought alone more than counts.

Thanks.

I only have one gold coin on me right now, but I hope it helps a little.

Hello there.

I'll pay up, too.

Don't worry, I'll thank ya properly when we get back.

I'd never live it down if ya thought the Dark Forest stratum was cheap.

Sure, I look black, but I ain't blackhearted.

Okay, now I can be of a bit more use.

If the elder tree fiend has been defeated, that solves that problem.

But this damage is too extensive.

What damn fool went and did such a thing?

They'll pay for it when I find them!

I'll break my foot off in their ass!

It has to be dead.

It might just be the bark that's burned.

Don't get careless.

There is no voice.

It would seem it is dead.

Lammis. Try hitting the trunk at full strength, to make sure.

Okay, here goes!

Well, let's head back.

Who's down there?

Who woke me from my nap?

She's wearing boots,

but they're see-through, so I don't see those coming off.

Who might you be?

Who are you guys supposed to be?

I'm Kayolings, known far and wide as the Shouting Songstress!

Heard of her?

Not a once.

Where are you hicks from, if you don't know who I am?

Whatta ya mean where? The dungeon, of course.

Oh forget it.

I can't deal with idiots who live under a rock.

Yes, well, idiots aside, what are you doing here?

Me?

My goal is to turn this stratum into a sea of fire

and to kill everyone in it, along with the fools who're bothering the left-arm general!

You must be working for the Netherlord.

You know it!

I'm one of the Netherlord's devoted followers, Junior General Kayolings!

She's probably some sort of undead, so regular weapons won't work on her.

Attack with caution.

I thought we were gonna trade some more insults.

Well, I don't mind doing this by force.

Attack me any way you like!

You think arrows will work?

What? Hey, that hurts!

Yes, those arrows were endowed with magic.

Magic even works on someone who's like a ghost?

My oh my, I don't fare well with noisy women.

D-Don't you screw with me, assholes!

What's with you guys?

You aren't just pushovers.

Don't tell me you're the ones the left-arm general said to watch out for!

Kuroyata went and "stole the show."

I didn't do a single thing!

At least we managed to capture a leader. That's major.

I just hope we can get some information from her.

Hmm.

This definitely wasn't because our opponent was weak.

This group—especially the old couple—is ridiculously strong.

Well, I didn't manage to do anything,

but I can at least be a good vending machine

and provide enough food and drinks to fill everyone's bellies!

I'm hungry! Boxxo, give me some food!

I could use a drink, myself!

Oh, I want one, too!

This stratum is once again unusable for decades.

I know telling you not to be discouraged is asking a lot,

but we'll accept all the residents at Clearflow Lake stratum.

Of that, you can rest assured.

Did everyone manage to evacuate?

Don't worry.

I'm sure the Band of Gluttons' legs reached the village before the fire did.

And their keen sense of smell

would help them guide every last one of the residents to safety.

Yeah, you're right.

But there was so much green in this forest, and now look at it.

I'm not Director Dark,

but it makes me want to sigh when I see how different things look here now.

We did what needed to be done, so there's no use brooding over it.

That's right. We tried as best we could.

Let's leave the rest up to the gods.

It's enough that we're all alive and kicking.

Life will eventually find a way!

Yes, people can walk on so long as they have feet and footwear.

No matter how difficult the road.

I know Hevee's trying to sound encouraging,

but it all gets suspicious the moment he brings up footwear.

You're right. We mustn't ever give up.

As long as there's passion in our hearts, we can do anything!

Everyone's so brave.

Okay, yeah!

I'll cheer up, too!

Botan, would you mind running a little faster?

Clearflow Lake Stratum

Welcome back, Director.

I see everyone made it back safely.

Is everyone in good health?

Yes, sir.

The monsters have calmed down, and reconstruction is going well.

And yesterday, a large group of people came from the Dark Forest stratum.

Good work, everyone.

First thing, go get some rest.

Okay, I'm going.

What should we do? Go home and take it easy?

Things have been hectic, so we could.

But what do you want to do, Boxxo?

I wa-n-t to w-or-k.

Mhm! I bet everyone will be happy!

This place makes me feel calm.

Now, time to do some big-time business!

Hello there.

Hm?

I'll have some fresh vegetables!

You got any fruit?

Everyone, please form a line.

I've prepared lots of vegetables, so please line up single file.

I was starting to run out of ingredients.

Could I get thirty each of those I got from you before?

That reminds me, Kikoyu was saying before

that she could do lots of business selling vegetables on this stratum.

Aha, that's when I had my customers stolen away!

This is an even bigger problem than Chains Restaurant was.

Hello there. Hello there. Hello there.

Oh hey there, Boxxo!

You've come back?

Family Market

Oh! What's this?!

I've never seen any of these products!

Strawberry milk Fruit milk

There s-w-ee-t-s.

Even in another world, the ladies have a soft spot for sweets!

What will they choose, cake or other sweets?

The following day, lots of lady customers were in Kikoyu's line.

Hello, please line up.

I still have lots of sugary, hot stone-baked sweet ruvevus.

It's autumn now, so selling sweet potatoes was a great idea!

Too great...

Looks like my hard battle with this rival is far from over!
