Hello there!

So good!

It tastes even better when it's hot like this.

I love getting to see my customers' happy faces!

You gotta have ice cream on a hot day!

But that frozen fruit was delicious, too!

Frozen fruit?!

I-c-y c-o-l-d?

That's right, Boxxo!

Look, Kikoyu's selling it there!

Hello there!

Here you are!

Looks great!

Thank you for coming!

Kikoyu!

I'd expect nothing less from my business rival!

Oh, sweet little Kikoyu!

Though she's grown up now, I guess.

She's gotten great at freezing things since she grew up, huh?

So she's freezing and selling fresh fruit?

Seems like a great business.

The frozen greps were really delicious!

Oh, maybe I'll try some, too!

She's even seducing away my partner?!

I won't go down without a fight!

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"!

Each to Their Own Story

Today we have biches!

They're all cut up for easy eating. Won't you try one?

You think I didn't see that grin of triumph?!

Well, smile while you still can!

I'll freeze it right off your face!

My true charge begins now!

Chocolate

Strawberry

Vanilla

You work so hard every day. Enjoy a cool treat!

And I recruited Lammis and Mishuel to help this morning!

Hello there! We're selling extra-creamy ice cream today!

Today only! High-quality ice cream at a low, low price!

Kikoyu, you were a worthy opponent. I congratulate you.

But this is the true power of vending machines!

The next day, for some reason,

Welcome!

a huge crowd had gathered around Kikoyu's wagon!

Here you go. Thank you very much.

Come on by!

We've got ice-cold frozen fruit!

It's really delicious!

Come try some!

She called reinforcements from the Clearflow Lake stratum!

Vanilla

Strawberry

Chocolate

Matcha

The Gluttons were drawn here by the mention of food!

Guess I'll have to bring out the big guns, too!

Shui

There's no way I'll lose now!

Victory is mine!

But the four-day sales battle ended with both me and Kikoyu in the red.

When we were taking our helpers out for their reward,

the bills for Shui and the Band of Gluttons,

who used it as a chance to order the most expensive food possible,

far outpaced our revenue.

In other words, the battle ended in mutual defeat.

Fool!

Having finished our obligations on that stratum,

we returned to the Clearflow Lake stratum.

You've been a big help.

Thanks so much for everything.

Kikoyu?

Did something happen to her?

This is so nice!

At the end of the day, nothing beats home!

Hey, Boxxo. The usual, please!

Your drinks always reinvigorate me.

Boop!

Thank you very much.

This is the stuff!

We've been back for a few days now.

So refreshing!

I guess it'll be fall soon.

Yeah.

Which means I've been here for about a year now.

Feels like it went by so fast...

But I guess Lammis and Hulemy have been busy these last few days,

because they haven't stopped by.

I feel a bit lonely.

Boxxo!

Lammis?

I've been so busy lately we haven't talked much,

but I was hoping we could have a real late-night chat.

Is that okay?

Hello there!

What man could refuse Lammis when she looks at him like that?!

I say with confidence: none!

C'mon! Let's go to my tent together!

What's this?

Happy birthday, Boxxo!

It's my birthday?!

We don't know your exact birthday,

but it's coming up on a year since you and I first met,

so I thought we should celebrate your birthday!

I hope it's not a bother.

I want to thank Lammis, but the words aren't coming!

I'm so surprised and happy all at once, I might short-circuit!

Thank you very much.

I'm glad you like it!

And I should have said it earlier, but happy birthday, Kikoyu!

What? Me, too?

That's right! Kikoyu had her birthday not long ago, too!

We can have a joint party!

It'll be so much fun!

Thanks for all your help.

Yes, and you kept the Origin stratum from caving in.

We all wanted to come by and thank you for all you've done!

Can't thank you enough.

This is a certificate given to those recognized by the Hunter Association.

I offer it to you.

Ta-da!

I've been thinking about what might be good,

and I just finished this, so I hope you'll accept it.

I've improved the elasticity of the stabilizer ropes,

so it can deal with sudden transformations better.

That's so helpful!

Now I can change up whenever I want to!

So I'm the last one?

My present is... this!

That book you gave me had pictures of celebrations,

so I wanted to make one for your birthday!

Um... do you like it?

Y-ea. Thank you very much.

Never thought I'd see a birthday cake in another world!

Good thing I'm a machine...

If I had a crying function, I might have triggered an electric fault!

And this one's for Kikoyu!

Boxxo, Kikoyu, can you blow out the candles?

Happy birthday, both of you!

Darn it, it was all too sudden!

I never thought I'd get turned into a vending machine

and have so many people celebrating my birthday!

Isn't the food delicious?

I'd love to feed it to the grandkids!

I'd love to take some back with me, too.

The wine was so smooth, and just a little bit sweet.

I wanna drink a pretty drink, too!

Miss Suori, you can have this sweet, fizzy one.

After that, everyone enjoyed the feast...

But I shouldn't have brought out the alcohol.

This is going way too far!

Hey, Boxxo! I got an awesome new invention.

You gotta check it out.

Hey, you're not listenin'! Take this!

Boxxo, you doin' okay? I'm doin' great!

You're nice and cold. Feels good..

You havin' fun? I'm havin' so much fun...

That's very clear! I'm having a great time!

I really, really am!

Hello there!

That's good.

I was worryin' the whole time that maybe I was bein' a bother...

Boxxo... you listenin', Boxxo?

Hello there!

I hope we stay together forever... and ever.

Hello there!

Wish you could say somethin' better'n "hello there."

Wish you could really talk.

She's cute even when she's like this!

She's really got me beat.

Okay, let's make a showing!

Y-o-u a-r c-u-t-e w-e-n y-u d-r-i-n-k, t-o-o.

Boxxo!

Boxxo.

Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon

Boxxo!

I have to talk to you tonight.

Are you free?

These last few days, she's seemed lost in thought.

Maybe it's about that?

Hello there!

Sorry to come by so late.

Boxxo. We're thinking of leaving the dungeon.

I had a feeling.

I know it's selfish to leave before the irregularities are resolved...

Not at all!

I'm grateful for all you've done. I could never criticize you!

My magic power has increased since I became an adult.

I've become able to hear the voice of the Piece of Field.

I think if I take Field back to their main body, they can revive.

And they're going to open the way for me.

She's been working hard to meet the person reincarnated as a field.

Of course I'm happy for her!

May I?

Hello there!

This might be our last telepathic conversation.

The Netherlord's power shouldn't be enough to get out of the dungeon.

How do you intend to get out?

Hulemy says that if I channel a lot of magic power into a transfer circle,

it can create a temporary path to the outside... possibly.

But it's very dangerous and there's no guarantee that it'll work,

so she didn't recommend it.

You don't think it's too risky?

I know that it is.

But I want to find Field!

He's so important to you that you'll risk your life for him?

Yes.

I have enough magic power to bring the children, too.

I'll be leaving this place soon.

Though when I look at all of your faces, my courage starts to waver.

Don't look so sad!

You just want to save someone who matters to you, right?

So hold your head high and say goodbye with pride!

We have each other, so we'll be fine!

I'm grateful for everything you've done!

Thank you for all the wonderful times you've given us!

I'm even more grateful to you.

I've had a wonderful time, too.

Let's meet again.

I can't wait to see you again, Kikoyu!

I look forward to your next use.

The next morning, I gave the letters Kikoyu had left with me to everyone.

I hope she meets the person she cares for.

Yes.

If there's even the smallest chance it'll work, she should try it.

Better than losing the chance and regretting forever.

It's lonely without her, huh, Boxxo?

Hello there!

The remaining strata are the Dog Mountain stratum and the Everlasting stratum.

Should we find a way to bolster our forces first?

Yeah, Kikoyu's departure leaves a big gap to fill!

Indeed.

But there are only so many people I can spare.

I was thinking of inviting someone from the Menagerie of Fools.

Are you nuts?!

The person I'm thinking of has talent to be sure.

And powers that our current lineup needs.

Personality aside.

Yeah, talented, for sure, right?

Despite the... issues.

It's scary that two people that know them

have nothing good to say about their personality.

Do you know where this member of the Menagerie is?

I have a good idea, but it's not on any of the previous strata.

So we'll have to go to the Dog Mountain stratum and look around.

A transfer circle should get the job done there.

Two days later, we arrived at the Dog Mountain stratum.

As the name suggests, this is a stratum with a giant dog-shaped rock.

It's otherwise a marine stratum dotted with tiny islands.

It'd be awesome to take some time out for fishing!

Captain Kerioyl always did love fishing.

I wish I could savor the vacation atmosphere,

but we're not here to play around!

H-Hey, you there!

Did you come via transfer circle?

Yeah, from the Clearflow Lake stratum!

Oh, great!

I'll tell the director! Wait right here!

You really came from another stratum?

Yeah, we did!

So the transfer circles are finally working!

We can finally have something that isn't seafood!

You didn't have any monster damage here?

We did have frequent monster attacks,

but some amazing hunters arrived

just before the transfer circles stopped working,

so we managed to make it through.

Those hunters... were they the Menagerie of Fools?

Oh, yeah! You know them?

That's not good!

But it's probably okay, right?

Yes, they made contact earlier,

but I don't think the director and the others would be able to convince her.

Hey, hey!

Thanks for coming! You're all welcome here!

Looks like a kid, but I guess it's the stratum's Director?

Hey! It's been a while!

Yeah, it sure has!

I'm the director of the Dog Mountain stratum Hunters Association!

I have a letter for you from Director Bear.

Will you read it?

Oh, really? Hand it over!

Oh, so that's why the monsters were getting so aggressive. Makes sense!

Well, hope you take care of the abnormalities!

Lemme know when it's all done with!

Later!

You can't just leave!

Please forgive his rudeness.

It's like babysitting.

The letter says he wants our help in finding someone for you.

We can look into it if you give us their defining features.

We appreciate that.

I'll explain, then.

While Hevee was explaining the situation, we enjoyed some free time.

What'll we do, Boxxo?

I guess we can't go swimming.

And when you're at a beach, what you want to do is fish!

F-i-s-h i-t's t-i-m-e!

Even the perceptive Lammis didn't recognize that as "let's go fishing!"

Not having my full vocabulary makes it so hard.

What about this?

Lettuce fish!

"Fish it's time"? "Lettuce fish"?

Hey, you want to go fishing?

Y-ea! Y-ea!

Lammis is amazing!

I thought that was kind of a stretch, too!

I did it! I got it right!

Fishing, huh?

I can do this kind of fishing in a river.

Lammis, that isn't really fishing!

I love fishing. Sounds good to me.

Instead of hitting them with rocks or punching the surface,

let's do some laid-back fishing for once.

Great idea!

Okay, what do we do for a rod?

Looking for fishing goods?

Check out my selection, you two!

Fishing Goods

But you don't sell rods, it looks like.

We can probably grab a stick from nearby.

The pictures on the bags make it looks like there's lines with floats and hooks.

And the ones that are just words are... bait?

Green Lugworm

Hello there!

I'll go find some sticks!

Right!

But the big question is yet to come!

Lots of girls shriek and cry when they first see marine fishing bait.

"Ew, gross!"

I'm strangely curious about what their reaction will be!

I can't wait to see their cute shocked reactions!

I'm all set to record it!

Oh, I've seen stuff like this at the river. Though it's not exactly the same.

It's not scary at all compared to some monsters I've seen.

Yeah, figures.

They wouldn't be shocked at all, being used to the monsters around here.

Okay, let's make it extra fun!

Whoever catches the biggest fish wins!

Yeah! I'm gonna win this!

Hello there!

Yeah, there we go!

Heave-ho!

Yeah! I fished up a shiwami!

You won't beat me!

Will winner!

I'll let Hulemy take the prize.

But I'll be second!

Here it comes!

You'll break your stick!

Grab the line, not the rod!

It's a fish monster!

Don't let it escape!

I hear they're delicious!

Got it!

Oh, so it is a monster.

Okay, let's keep it up!

I can do more fishing for sure!

Did my hook snag on something?

The line might break if I pull any harder, but it could be a huge catch!

I'll pull it up with all I've got!

Did you get a bite, too?

Hello there!

Need some help?

P-l-e-as!

Leave it to me!

That's a huge clam.

I've never seen a monster that looks like this. Maybe it's a mutation?

Think it's tasty?

Not sure.

I'm curious, so let's cook it up!

It's cooking up nice!

Master Boxxo, I've been looking everywhere.

What are you doing here?

Wow, amazing fish!

And is that a clam?!

Even Mishuel hasn't seen one before?

Well, I can't wait to see what's inside it after it cooks!

So good!

Mishuel, you have some, too!

Sure thing.

If Shui were here, she'd probably eat up the lot!

You called?

Don't look at it so greedily.

So they're both here!

Then the seaside barbecue can begin!

Oh?

Eh?

What's going on?

Have they both seen this clam before?

Shui. You think this is...

You think so, too? Yeah, it's gotta be.

What is it? Was the clam a monster?!

Hey, what's going on here?

I beg your pardon.

That clam happened to look familiar.

That was so hot.

That's no way to treat Pity... even if she is a shut-in.

Next Time

The Clam and the Vending Machine

I look forward to your next use.
