Hello there.

There he is!

Hey, Boxxo! You okay?

You're safe now!

We landed on a boat that was adrift, and came ashore on this island.

We're rescued, I guess?

Boxxo!

Boxxo!

Nobody would blame me for putting up my barrier now!

No! I'm her partner and I've got to face this!

Don't break on me, body!

Wh-What's the big idea, Pity?!

If you're not... gentler with your reunion hug...

you'll endanger Boxxo.

Sorry, Boxxo.

I was so happy, I just...

A sad face doesn't look right on Lammis.

I-m ba-k.

Welcome back, Boxxo!

That's right, smiles suit her best!

Nice gift you got there, Lammis.

I was worried about you, Boxxo.

Don't I get anything, hmm?

Giving her the same bouquet would be boring.

I think I know what would make her happy!

Form change for capsule toys!

Huh? What're these balls?

Oh, they're toy tools!

Yeah, tools shaped like this might come in handy.

I'll use them as reference.

Pity doesn't get anything?

Pity likes sweet things and flowers.

Sweet things...

Oh yeah, there's always that!

A parfait keychain.

Japan is world class when it comes to making plastic food models.

Thank you... Boxxo.

Looks as if she likes it.

Wait, what?

Boxxo, are you and Pity really close now, or am I imagining things?

Way closer than the last time we saw you.

It's true that she's grown attached after all that time we spent together,

but it's just that she sees me as family, or as a dependable magic item.

Right, Pity?

Boxxo and I... are close.

Constantly together when we eat... and use the bathroom...

You're not wrong, but I kinda wish you'd phrase it more tactfully!

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"!

The Troubles Will Continue Forever

There's a base on a small island right behind the stratum lord, Dog Mountain.

If we destroy it, that should delay the Netherlord's plans considerably.

But it's in such a troublesome spot.

If Dog Mountain starts moving, we'll be in trouble.

No way can we fight both that and the Demon Lord's forces.

If that big pooch attacks us, kiss it all goodbye.

Anyway, we've asked a hunter to go scout out the base.

Until he returns, feel free to do as you wish.

Would you mind lending me Boxxo?

No, assuming he's fine with it.

Hello there.

Then I'd like you to carry him into the inner room.

Also, Pity.

Could you, Hevee, and Shui come, too?

From your perspectives,

what are the chances Captain Kerioyl's group will return to us?

I've trained the captain on a number of occasions.

Have to admit, I'm a little worried.

You should just come out and say it.

That as a parent of a child, part of you doesn't blame them for their actions.

Those two stressed over the survey, too.

Were there a way to lift the curse on his son,

the captain would likely ditch the Netherlord in a heartbeat.

But I think they're in a tough spot, having to rely on Sulream.

But Sulream's... really taken a liking... to the boy.

Might as well show them this.

Ahh, many thanks, Boxxo.

I guess we don't have to sweat his survival, at least.

Personally, I want to do something to help the kid,

but how much can a mere vending machine do?

I do owe him one for helping us escape.

We take our debts seriously too, Captain.

Good job on the recon.

Yes, sir.

I got inside the base, but found it deserted.

There were no boats either, so perhaps they abandoned it.

What do you think, Hulemy?

This is speculative, but the Netherlord might have ordered

those who escaped by boat to rile up the Dog Mountain stratum lord.

That way the base and all evidence are completely destroyed,

and this stratum is finished.

We'd better do more recon, just in—

There's an emergency!

Dog Mountain is on its way here!

Have all inhabitants transfer to Clearflow Lake stratum!

That wave looks likely to end us all before we do anything.

We're evacuating, everyone!

Let children and elderlies go first!

We'll leave evacuation proceedings to their group.

The big question is, what to do about Dog Mountain!

It looks like a live-action special-effects monster!

The way it's coming ashore looks like a scene from that one movie!

Is it even possible to win against that?

How did they beat it the last time, anyway?

Grams, do you remember?

Oh come on, Gramps. Are you going senile?

We all got eaten, then went ballistic on its insides.

Yeah, it was a close fight.

Huh? You've beaten it before?

Sure, in our younger days.

We narrowly secured victory by hacking away at its innards.

To this day, it still seems nuts.

We're lucky we survived.

Then we can do it again this—

I can't recommend that.

It's filled with digestive juices in there.

The average Joe would dissolve in an instant.

Back then, we only challenged it after months of countermeasure planning.

He's right. An improvised attack against that would be insane.

Which means, the only thing we can do is—

Pity and Boxxo will... attack from the sky.

I get you.

Then feel free to use the magic items I made that freeze water.

Boxxo, let's... fly together.

Hello there.

Boxxo, you be sure to come back.

Y-ea, you n-o i-t. Thank you!

I'll leave that unfixed for now.

Because it makes me feel connected with her.

Now, let's begin!

Looks like... it didn't work.

Time to pull these out, then.

A Hulemy magic-item airdrop!

It stopped.

This will buy us a little time, but that'll shatter at some point.

Here goes!

Oh! A wave, courtesy of old Shimelai!

I'll happily take advantage of that!

I'd love to bask in the joy of victory.

But it looks like we'd better scram!

That won't keep Dog Mountain down for long.

I'm glad we completed the evacuation before the stratum was swallowed by waves.

My poor stratum...

My poor workplace with all its perks...

The directors took care of living arrangements for the immigrants

from Dog Mountain stratum,

so I decided to hold a vending machine welcoming sale!

Everyone from Dog Mountain stratum gets the dreaded 90% discount!

I'll give it away for free to anyone who evacuated without any belongings.

Because my motto is, "Be a kind vending machine to the locals!"

Family Market

Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon

Mr. Vending Machine!

H-u?

In the Clearflow Lake stratum,

food and shelter had already been in good shape.

Clothing, not so much.

But there were many who had a style awakening

after we held the Dungeon Goddess Grand Prix,

thus launching a stratum-wide fashion boom.

Now that nobody wants for clothing, food, or shelter,

the next thing on the agenda becomes entertainment.

That's why a bunch of men were eagerly waiting for a certain shop to reopen.

Shirley asked me to be in charge of soliciting customers.

Welcome.

Would you like to dream a little dream with us?

I sure would! Bring on that dream!

One gentleman, coming your way.

You know the drill, Boxxo.

Hey, what man could resist an invitation from such a glamorous lady?

Thanks, Boxxo.

Rosiemy the dog fiend is sure to love this.

Around here, there are lots of people who buy gifts for ladies who work nights.

My accurate advice and range of products are hot topics,

and I'm getting lots of requests for guidance these days.

Boxxo.

K-or-th.

It's "Gorth."

Hello there.

Wow, even Gorth has his eye on somebody.

D-D-D-Do you know what Miss Shirley would like?

Huh?! Sh-Sh-Shirley?!

Are you for real?!

You're after Shirley, of all people?!

That's way beyond very-hard mode!

We're talking hellish difficulty here!

Any ideas?

Something Shirley would like?

Suffice to say, I don't know a thing about her personal life.

Co-m ba-c l-a-t-er.

Okay, I'll check back with you.

I'm the vending machine who helped Karios find love.

I'd sure like to set up his partner Gorth for romance, too.

Okay, that does it!

For Gorth's sake, I'll scope out some info on Shirley's everyday life!

To get deets on Shirley's daily life, I enlisted Lammis, Hulemy, and Suco.

Is this close enough to Miss Shirley's house?

Hello there.

I'm surprised, though.

She spends her time in such a gorgeous environment,

yet she lives in such a small house.

We're gonna go hide. Call out if anything happens.

And I'll alter my color scheme so Shirley doesn't notice me.

These guys are the definition of "suspicious."

But still, they're just walking by in front of her house.

Well we can't have this, can we?

S-oo-co.

What's up?

Th-o-s m-e-n.

I'll go scare 'em off!

Suco, that was overkill! Way too loud for this early in the morning!

See!

Huh?

I thought I heard someone shout.

Maybe I imagined it.

So, that's what Shirley's like at home.

Ah, she emerges.

Miss Shirley looks great in a dress, but that outfit's nice, too!

It looks like what the Band of Gluttons wears.

Not that you have any bare skin to cover.

Okay, I'll be back.

I hear she has the whole day off, but what's she doing?

I can't imagine how she spends her time.

Neither can I.

I thought maybe she's going to an elegant lunch at a high-class restaurant.

But it's not looking that way.

Where's Miss Shirley?

Huh? Isn't that the orphanage?

I'm sure it is, because I came here recently with Shui.

All of us in the Band of Gluttons have gone to play there, too.

But what would Miss Shirley be doing at the orphanage?

Hello.

Miss Shirley!

What'll we play today?

Let's play with this ball I got from Boxxo!

Give me a minute first. I need to speak with the director.

Once I'm done with that, let's play.

Okay!

Director! Miss Shirley's here!

Yes, I heard her.

Thank you for coming, Miss Shirley.

I'm pleased to see the children in good spirits again today.

Ah, yes. Here's the usual.

These large donations you always make are so helpful.

Now, come on in.

Thank you.

Shirley's been donating to the orphanage.

You know, I think I've heard Shui say Miss Shirley was an orphan, too.

It's like, Miss Shirley's the bomb.

As a woman, I can't help but respect her.

If I were a human male, I know I'd fall for her!

Yeah, you said it!

I agree.

Gorth, looks like she isn't just out of your league.

We're talking a treasure you can't obtain

unless you defeat a dragon lurking in the wilderness!

I'm starting to feel bad about following her around.

Me, too.

Let's apologize about today and go play with the kids ourselves.

Maybe I'll play Mr. Bear with them.

Hello!

Oh, Miss Lammis!

Hurry, come on in!

Oh, hello. Are you done tailing me?

You knew, huh?

Sorry, Miss Shirley.

We couldn't stop wondering what you do all the time.

Sorry. We were following you out of curiosity.

I'm sorry.

S-o-ry.

Well, if you feel sorry,

maybe I can get you to play with the kids!

Sure!

Who wants to be Mr. Bear first?

Ice

Milk

Family Market

It's always so soothing to see joy on the children's faces.

Thank you for today.

Feel free to come back anytime.

I look forward to your next use.

Miss Shirley, is this always how you spend your days off?

Well, let's see.

I don't do much shopping, and I often take home leftover food from work,

so it's rare that I eat out.

Oh yeah?

She might spend her nights in a dazzling world,

but she isn't wasteful and indulgent during the day.

She's pleasant, likes children, and is open-minded.

She might be the ultimate woman!

Hello there.

Boxxo, did you figure anything out?

A f-u-l d-a-y.

I need to watch this?

I'll be on the lookout for them.

Looks like it's fine to let Gorth take care of that situation.

She's more wonderful than I imagined.

Y-ea.

The idea of us being in love was ridiculous.

Huh? You're going to give up?!

I think I'll watch over her happiness from a distance.

So that I don't cause any trouble.

This leaves me feeling a little down,

but if that's his decision, maybe I should keep out of it.

I've been helping out with the opening of Shirley's shop for about a week,

but today's the last day.

Be sure to come back.

Sure. G'night.

Good night.

I know I'll be back.

What's up with her?

S-h-er-l-y?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Something curious has happened lately.

Would you like to hear what?

Y-ea, y-ea.

A neighbor told me that there had been a lot of suspicious people around my house.

Yes, I saw that, too.

I've also had underwear stolen while it was drying,

but lately that's stopped happening, and the suspicious people are gone.

It seems a bit odd.

Ahh, that would be thanks to Gorth's efforts.

Wait, that's...

Boxxo, is this place closed already?

Too bad.

Oh. I thought I'd have a drink before I went home.

Could you hook me up?

Could I have one too, then?

I've hardly had anything to drink today either.

Miss... Shirley!

Thank you for your frequent patronage, Mr. Gorth.

You're too tense, Gorth.

Thank you, Boxxo.

Here's to a workday done.

Y-You said it!

Mr. Gorth, it must be hard to work so late.

I-It's fine. Same for you, though.

There isn't much I can do when it comes to romance between two adults,

but I do root for you from the background.

If only you could enjoy a drink too, Boxxo.

I'd join you for an evening drink anytime.

Um, now might not be the best time for you to tease me.

Boxxo...

See! That's some scary jealousy on Gorth's face!

Next Time

Another Uproar

I look forward to your next use.
