Original subtitles

Too bad.

We were totally outmaneuvered!

I've been boxnapped.

I'd anticipated that Sulream would have a teleportation power, but still!

This is the second time I've been stolen since becoming a vending machine!

Sorry to drag you here against your will, Boxxo.

Um... where am I?

And Pity was caught in the effect radius.

Poor thing.

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!

I am Boxxo! Hello there!

That means "yes"!

Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon

A Stay in Enemy Territory

This is the dungeon stratum that the Netherlord operates out of.

So the Netherlord is on this stratum, too?

Feels like I've been warped into the last boss level early...

We've been trying to clear the final stratum since we made our agreement,

but we end up lacking in food and other materials.

We decided we really needed your help.

We pretended like it was Pity we were after, but Boxxo...

We were actually waiting for you to show up.

Pity is just... a bonus?

I won't insult you by haggling, Boxxo.

Come explore the final stratum with us!

Please!

Too bad.

There's no way I can persuade you?

Too bad.

I understand that they're struggling because of their child's situation.

But I can't betray the people who have been so good to me!

Gotcha.

Well, I kinda figured you'd say that.

Pity, you wanna come back to us?

Pity promised to help Mr. Hevee and the others.

Even if I give you the right to have one wish granted?

You could even steal back the heart of that ex of yours!

He's like the devil on her shoulder!

No.

What?

I can't rely on others.

I'll bring him back to me on my own.

Well said, Pity! I underestimated you.

Your perspective on love is pure!

You really are stubborn about that stuff.

We've got time, though. Think it over.

I can't let you out unless you agree to help us.

Boxxo, sell me something!

I've got a mad craving for some fried meat!

Same here!

Even if we're enemies, customers are customers.

At the same time, the thought of just giving in annoys me.

Hey, it's all water!

That's mean!

You've got meat and sweet stuff in there! C'mon, please!

If you insist.

Hello there!

Thanks, Boxxo!

Now, what should I pick?

Hey, that's expensive!

Ten times your usual prices?!

Vending machines are always more expensive at tourist spots or mountaintops.

This is an enemy lair upcharge.

Please insert coins.

That's extortion!

Darn it! But I have to buy something!

There's no toilet here.

Mi-su Po-te-i.

It's... Pity.

Thank you.

It's nice and soft.

Mr. Boxxo is so nice.

Wakey-wakey!

Wait, what's going on here?

What?

What's going on?

I... I could stay here for weeks!

Do you guys get the situation you're in?

No matter the place, I do what I can as a vending machine.

So, ready to reconsider?

No.

No-sa-n-ku-u.

I dunno what "Nosanku" means,

but I gotta assume it's a no.

Can't you be more reasonable?

I'm giving you the nice guy treatment,

but Sulream and the Netherlord won't play that game.

They're gonna have you killed sooner or later.

Probably within the week.

Listen. You've got a deadline of one week.

Don't forget that.

It's like he was saying... escape within one week.

Y-ea.

Boxxo, I want food and drink!

And give me a little discount, please!

I don't have any money! Please, great Boxxo!

Fine, fine.

You're the coolest, Boxxo!

I'm gonna eat my heart out!

They must not be getting good food here.

What's that?

On-za-ho-u-s.

Really?!

You're the best magic item ever, Boxxo!

Hey, Boxxo...

Listen up, man...

We love those dungeon guys a lot, too.

We love 'em so much!

The directors have been so good to us. This is breakin' our hearts!

Shiro is a clingy drunk, while Aka is a weepy drunk.

This is difficult.

Well, I'll get some info out of them.

So y'know, there's these five finger general guys here!

They think they're so big! Stupid assholes!

But I haven't seen the Netherlord or most of the generals in ages.

The pinky, the index finger, and the thumb are all gone!

What's up with that?

We captured the pinky general in the Dark Forest stratum before!

Sulream would be the ring finger.

If the index finger and the thumb are missing...

The middle finger must be here.

Mo-n-s-te-r a-re l-ot-s h-e-re?

Yeah, tons of monsters!

Though all their grunts are skeletons, so it's way creepy, dude.

At least a hundred, I think.

The skeletons won't even talk to us! It's so sad!

There's humans, too!

Wearin' these creepy coats...

I don't even know if they're humans or some race that just looks human...

They left the door open.

And what are you up to, children?

I'll deal with you later.

Mr. Boxxo, Lady Sulream wishes to speak with you.

Will you accompany me?

Pity must remain, I'm afraid.

Push harder.

Really makes you appreciate how strong Lammis is!

Right, Shiro?

T-Totally, man!

I could become a cardboard vending machine,

but I don't want to spend the points...

So good luck, boys!

Lady Sulream.

We've brought you Boxxo.

Well done.

You can leave that thing here and go.

Excuse us.

Be careful.

I hear you're a sapient magic item.

I hate humans, but I have nothing against your kind.

Not that I'll hold back if you seek to oppose me...

Huh? The captain's kid isn't here.

I thought the Blessing of Decay would activate if she wasn't holding his hand...

Where are you, Big Sis?!

Oh, there he is.

Look at you. You haven't wiped down your hair.

Come here. I'll take care of it.

Right! Thanks, Big Sis!

Big Sis?!

I'm sorry I pushed you so hard earlier.

I hope it didn't hurt.

Nah, I'm fine!

Did I do a good job pretending to be hurt?

It was perfect! You're such a good actor!

Actor?!

Then his agony was just a performance for our benefit?

But don't get too far from me.

I won't be able to keep your negative blessing at bay otherwise.

Okay. I'll be careful.

They're acting like close family.

What's going on here?

Hey, Big Sis! Is that the Boxxo thing?

Yes, that's right.

You said you wanted to use it, so I brought it here.

But it's conscious, isn't it?

Isn't it bad for it to see our relationship?

Don't worry, now. I'm told it only has a limited vocabulary.

And there's no one who can speak with it telepathically here.

Hello there!

Hey, it really talks!

Is it okay for me to buy from it?

Yes, of course. Buy whatever you like.

Please insert coins.

I don't have money.

Here, buy as much as you like!

She's spoiling this kid rotten!

Look at all those unusual drinks!

Which should I pick?!

That expression's kind of upsetting!

What do you like, Big Sis?

Oh, I'm fine with anything!

You pick what you like.

I've got everything I want here already.

Run away! Captain's son, flee!

This is not a safe person!

I thought you'd awakened from a long sleep to find yourself a hostage!

The captain's son's life is too tragic!

Wait, but he seems to respect Sulream, too...

Oh! Since snow people are children until the moment they become adults,

maybe this isn't as bad as it seems?

Wait, forget that line of thought! What am I gonna do?!

Save me, Lammis!

Sorry, do you mind if I take a nap?

I used a lot of stamina on the teleportation.

I haven't fully recovered yet.

Okay. Have a good rest.

But can I buy more stuff from Boxxo?!

Y-Yes!

Buy as much as you like!

Just brush your teeth if you have sweets, all right?

Okay!

Mr. Boxxo, I have to speak with you.

I have to emphasize my childishness while Sulream is watching.

I'm sorry to have tricked you like this.

I'm aware of the suffering my family is undergoing because of me.

I sometimes think we'd all be better off if I died...

But undoing all the hard work they've done

in the past on my behalf feels even more irresponsible.

Right now, I'm pretending to obey Sulream

while collecting information on the inner organization.

Regarding the curse, it pains me to deceive my family as well.

But my little brothers aren't good at keeping secrets, I'm afraid.

He looks like a child, but he's definitely the twins' older brother inside!

My parents have told me about your true abilities, so I know...

They want you to stay here and let them use you,

and if you refuse, you'll be destroyed.

Y-ea.

Is there a way you can escape?

If there's anything I can do to help, please tell me!

I'll do anything in my power.

In the days to follow, I spent the morning making breakfast for Pity,

then was taken to Sulream's room to sell goods,

and before lunch, I was taken to what looked like a cafeteria,

where I sold to the humans and beast people in their hideout.

Welcome back.

I-a-m-ba-k.

That was sooner than usual.

Could I ask for some food?

Are you staying here today?

Y-ea.

That's nice.

Has Pity taken a liking to me?

Your food is delicious again today...

Boxxo!

Wait... Wasn't she calling me Mr. Boxxo before?

Is this like a suspension bridge effect thing?

When in danger, you mistake the pounding of your heart

for attraction to the person you're with...

I swear that's all it is, Lammis!

Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon

I swear that's all it is, Lammis!

Now, for tomorrow...

Are you all ready?

Hello there!

Right, tomorrow's the day, Shiro?

The catered meeting on the roof.

Aren't they lucky, Aka?

It's just for our bro, Boxxo, Pity, and Sulream, right?

Yes.

Tomorrow, under the pretense of a "catered meeting,"

we'll be having a barbecue party on the roof at lunchtime!

It's all because...

Please, Big Sis!

I'd love to eat outside tomorrow!

But if I can't go outside... could we do it on the roof?

Sulream fell head-over-heels for the maximum cuteness request.

Seems way too easy...

And he persuaded her to let Pity attend,

using her weight manipulation blessing to get me there.

It was our best chance to escape their fortress.

If I let it slip past me, there might be no hope left.

The Middle Finger General is nearby.

I heard their goons talking about it.

But we've never seen them ourselves.

The Middle Finger General, eh?

I don't know what they're like, so I'm very nervous.

Boxxo. Don't worry.

I know it'll go well.

Oh, whoops. I must have been blinking unconsciously.

Thank you very much.

Dammit. When I think about all the cool stuff Boxxo's about to do,

it makes me wanna ditch the Netherlord!

I hear you, Dad!

Let's fight for him!

Make sure you record your reunion with Miss Lammis.

What are you expecting there?

Boxxo. You're not looking, right?

Y-ea.

Now then...

There.

I hear coin lockers preserve freshness, so that'll do.

Pity... trusts Boxxo, okay?

Looks like you're all ready.

Okay, let's go!

No one will be allowed on the roof until lunchtime, so don't worry.

Sulream put out an order to that effect.

We won't let anyone pass by! Right, Shiro?

No matter what, Aka!

That's right. Orders must be followed.

I haven't seen the Middle Finger General today either!

Actually, I've never seen the Netherlord even once!

The acting is bad, but the info is good. Thanks!

Later, guys. Take care.

Thank you, everyone.

Goodbye.

I look forward to your next use.

I won't say goodbye.

It's literally not in my vocabulary.

But I know we'll meet again.

And when we do...

Here we go.

It looks like they're here.

Human, if you try anything, I'll freeze you on the spot.

Okay.

Excellent.

She thinks I'm just a magic item, so Pity's

the only one she's watching out for.

This is delicious! You should try some too, Big Sis!

But you already drank from it!

Yeah, I guess you wouldn't like it if it's been in my mouth...

N-N-Not true!

I'd like it even better, in fact!

Great. The yakiniku sauce on the skewers has her drinking at a fast pace.

Big Sis, what's wrong?

Do you mind if I go to the bathroom?

There we go! Caffeine has a diuretic effect!

You can't drink all that without needing a pee!

I'll go with you.

Pity, was it?

You'd better not try anything funny.

You can't escape, remember?

We're on the roof of an isolated island.

Isn't this fun, Big Sis?

Boxxo... Hurry!

Y-ea.

Form change!

Balloon vending machine!

I hope this goes well!

Mi-su Po-te-i.

Pity!

Or... I guess that's fine.

I'm activating it now.

Pity's weight control activated!

She's made me, her shield, and herself as light as could be!

Yes! It worked!

Now, form change again!

Coin-powered vacuum!

If I produce a powerful wind...

We did it, Boxxo!

Y-ea. Thank you very much!

Maintaining the barrier costs a lot of points,

but I've got over a million now, so it should last.

First, we've got to find an island...

Boxxo. What's that?

It's coming this way...

What's that thing?!

It's fifty meters nose to tail!

Wait right there!

That's... telepathy?!

You must be punished for trying to escape the Netherlord!

As Middle Finger General, I cannot let this pass!

Middle Finger General?!

So that shark is the general?

No wonder we never saw him at the base!

I'll add more balloons to give us altitude!

You won't escape!

918 points lost.

Ha-n-d. Ha-n-d.

You coward!

Come down here and fight me being to being!

Boxxo, let's get out of here!

True, we could just run away...

But as long as we're here...

Po-te-i.

Ta-i u-p shi-e-ld.

Um... do you have an idea?

Go-t i-t.

Form change!

Super-sized vending machine!

And the concrete blocks that they're bolted to!

Ready...

Fire!

What's going on?!

Now, let's finish it!

Remove barrier!

Boxxo?!

Form change!

What?!

Where did those things come from?

Take this! Super-sized vending machine attack!

Now, then, the question is how to reunite with Pity?

Hey, isn't that Pity?

Even if she adjusted her weight, that's still very reckless!

Mi-su Po-te-i.

Thank goodness!

I'm glad you're safe.

I'm sorry I didn't explain more.

Lammis would start yelling at me at this point.

He's got legs.

I guess he was amphibious?

Ah.

What's wrong, Boxxo?

We defeated the Netherlord's arm the same way.

When he sees the body, he'll know it was me.

Please, be eaten by the fishes!

I look forward to your next use.

Next Time The Troubles Will Continue Forever
