The Vending Machine Travels

Where am I?
A lake? What am I doing at a lake?
I was
That's right!
Oh no! That vending machine's in trouble!
I was sure I had died,
but it looks like I'm alive.
Anyway, I need to
Huh?
Huh?
What, my body won't move?!
Hey, somebody!
Hello there.
Was that my voice just now?
Wait, wait, calm down!
Thank you very much.
That's my voice, all right!
I look forward to your next use.
And I've heard these words countless times.
Kokuuma Cream of Corn Soup
You might win an extra item!
I'm a fan of any and all
vending machines ever made.
Everyone knows it's my passion.
I'd never mistake that sound!
This means
I've turned into a vending machine!
Reborn as a Vending Machine,
I Now Wander the Dungeon
The Vending Machine Travels
Have I been reborn as a vending
machine after my death?!
Oh, no way.
No matter how gaga I was for them,
such a thing could never
W-Wonderful!
No matter how you look at it,
I have to be a vending machine!
My stuff is also reasonably priced!
My white, perfectly rectangular body
is both elegant and functional!
Megumi Natural Water
Never mind that!
This is crazy, impossible!
Being reborn as a vending machine is the worst!
Or not.
Being reborn as the thing I loved.
Could this be divine compassion?
Well, at this point I am what I am.
Honestly, that it doesn't bother me
much is the sad side of my fandom.
Hello there.
Thank you very much.
I look forward to your next use.
You might win an extra item!
Too bad.
You win!
Please insert coins.
That's everything I can say?
I wonder what else I can do.
You're a vending machine.
Believe. Assume the role.
You've got to be able to operate yourself!
Understand your own body!

Oh, in my brain
Uh, guess I don't have a brain.
In my head, some text and numbers popped up.
These are the goods I'm currently
selling. Only two types?
(Cold) Mineral Water ¥130 100-count
(Warm) Corn Soup ¥100 100-count
To change types, please spend points.
Keep Cold • Keep Warm
Change? I can change what I'm selling?
What points? Oh, where it says "PT"!
Points are converted from money,
and spending points enables the
replenishment and changing of goods,
and the acquisition of new functions.
That makes sense.
I found out more by investigating further.
Spending these point things not only
lets me keep items cold or warm,
it also lets me do things like warm up
frozen food, and add hot water to cup ramen.
I might as well try out my functions,
and check what other items I can sell.

And while doing so,
I realized one important thing.
My body does not run on electricity.
It looks like I consume
points to power myself instead.
One point an hour.

So, I consume 24 points a day.

No one has come.
The Next Day
All I'm doing is losing points!
At this rate, nobody will ever show up,
and I'll just stop functioning!
A frog?
But it's about as big as a human, it's wearing
what looks like armor, and it's holding
I should probably be surprised,
but turning into a vending
machine kind of one-ups this.
Hello there.
Uh, um
Hey, stop that!
3 damage!
Durability decreased by 3.
Three damage. Durability decreased by three.
What's "durability"?!
If durability is exhausted, the vending
machine will break and become unusable.
So, it's like hit points in a game!
How much do I have now?!
Durability
Toughness
Strength
Speed
Dexterity
Magic
There it is! These must be my stats.
Everything but durability
and toughness is at 0!
Well, I guess a vending
machine wouldn't need those.
Wait, magic power?
Does magic exist in this world?
Durability can be restored
by spending points.
Oh, yeah?! In that case, I still have about
900 points. Maybe I can get through this.
U-Uh-oh! I'm in it deep now!
If I get hit with that thing
Maybe a function!
Are there any good functions I can add?!
Let's see.

Two damage. Durability decreased by two.
Damn it! I need something else!
Four damage. Durability decreased by four.
"Blessing"? What's this?
Blessing
A special power granted by a god.
You may acquire it without
spending a single point.
I don't really understand,
but it's like magic, right?
Okay, I choose that!

Wait a minute, I'm leaking
points like a sieve!
I really think you guys
should give up! For reals!
Whew, I made it.
I might as well recover my durability.
There, full recovery.
I've got 311 points left.
I'll still last over ten days,
but unless somebody buys something,
my points will run out and
I'll stop functioning.
What happens at that point?
Will I die?
What a tragic new life
or operating time, I guess.
Someone!
Someone, please show up!
Several Days Later
I wish I could have sold something at least
once as a vending machine before dying.
I know you're there!
Huh?
I had a feeling they were here.
But I'm glad they're not!
I'm so hungry, I've got no strength left!
Why does this always happen to me?
I even dropped my food bag.
I'm sorry, Ma and Pa!
I wasn't cut out to be a hunter!
Hunter? What's that about?
I need to defeat some
frog fiends for their meat.
But my attacks don't hit when
I'm alone, and I'm exhausted!
Maybe if I had some food at least.
Wait, what's that?
Looks too metally to be a stone monument.
They're a strange shape, but are
those drinks behind that glass?
Megumi Natural Water
And that looks like writing,
but I can't read it.
Hello there.
Wh-What was that voice?!
Where'd it come from?!
Please insert coins.
Is this box talking?!
Coins? You mean money?
I wonder if a copper coin'll work.
I'm sure it at least needs to be silver.
Don't tell me it's gold?!
As if I even had any.
Insert? In this narrow hole?
And I'm not sure what this hollow
with the see-through cover is.
Oh, I guess a copper coin
wasn't enough after all.
That is an unsupported coin.
If you acquire the coin conversion function,
you can accept it.
For real?! H-H-Hold on a minute!
There is is! I can afford 100 points.
Coin Conversion
The numbers went higher, but that
doesn't mean I increased the prices.
Huh? The numbers changed.
One thousand owa?!
That's a whole silver coin!
So, this world's unit of
currency is called the "owa."
That's expensive, but my belly needs food!
There it is!
It's shining!
Maybe I have to press this!
Well, there's a picture of soup on here!
Whoa, what?!
Something came out?
It's not gonna eat my hand
if I reach in, right?
I won't do that, so hurry and take it.
I highly recommend this corn soup!
Wow, that's so warm!
Kokuuma Cream of Corn Soup
So, do you twist the lid?
There!
Smells good!
What gives?! It's so tasty!
It's worlds tastier than the
joint where I've been eating!
What is this happiness?
Pleasing someone this much makes me
feel blessed to be a vending machine.
It's all gone already.
I bet the other stuff in there's good, too.
These clear ones're probably water.
Which means I'd better try
that light brown drink, too.
Looks like she took quite a
liking to the milk tea as well.
After that, she bought three more
corn soups, along with a water.
I earned six silver coins and
thirty coppers for a total of 6,300 owa.
Which means I recovered 63 points.
A full belly must have
broken the tension for her,
because the hunter girl
ended up falling asleep.
She's extremely vulnerable,
but also my best customer.
I'll protect you with my
barrier, so don't you worry.
Even trash removal is a snap!
Looks like I'm a kindhearted vending
machine in this other world.
Oh, I fell asleep.
Good thing no monsters showed up.
I'm down a lot of money, but my belly
and mind are in much better shape.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you very much.
Oh, uh, yes. And thank you, too.
Um, you can talk?
Maybe you can only say certain things.
See, someone I know is inventing tools
with magical power inside them.
I wonder if that's your deal, too.
If that's right, I'd like it if
you said something. Anything.
Hello there.
You understand me!
I bet Hulemy would be impressed if she knew!
Oh, I haven't told you my name.
It's Lammis.
Lammis. That has a mysterious ring to it.
Oh, hey. If you like, why not say,
"Hello there," when you mean "yes,"
and something else when you mean "no"?
Too bad.
Is that gonna work in place of "no"?
Hello there.
"Yes," huh? Got it.
Let's see. Can you tell me your name?
Too bad.
Oh, okay. What are you doing here?
Do you have some important mission?
Too bad.
This is just a guess but are you lonely?
Hello there.
That's what I thought.
For some reason, you looked lonely.
Would it be okay if I moved you?
Hello there.
Oh, okay!
Would you like to move from
here and meet Hulemy?
I think you and she would hit it off.
Hello there.
You're cool with it?
Okay, pardon me real quick.
Heave!
You're kidding! I weigh 500 kilograms!
You're a little heavy, but I can manage.
Hup, hup!
Thank you so much!
Apparently, Lammis has the blessing
called "Blessing of Might."
So, that explains her incredible strength.
I'm going to take a short break here.
Now I'm all hungry.
Wonder if I can buy some
of that thick yellow soup.
Corn soup isn't all that filling.
How about something else?
Oh, this looks good!
Th-That surprised me! You suddenly glowed
Did your items change?
Is that food, by chance?
Hello there.
Oh, it is!
It's the same price. Maybe I'll buy some.
What's with this texture?!
They're just salty, that's it.
But I can't stop myself!
I'm going through money like a sieve!
But I can't stop!
Thank you very much.
Thanks to that, I've recovered
up to 320 points.
I'll try using those to change
the price of mineral water.
Mineral Water
owa
I'd like to offer it for less,
but my life depends on it.
Soon we'll reach the entrance of this stratum.
Stratum?
After that it's a village,
so we can take it easy.
I'm back!
Lammis!
You're unharmed!
Karios, Gorth
Somehow I made it back alive.
We were worried, after your
group came back all but dead.
I'm sorry.
By the way, what's this?
It's apparently a magic tool with its own
will. I brought it back from lakeside.
It gives you items if you put money in it.
A magic tool?
I've never heard of such a thing,
here in the Clearflow Lake stratum.
Should I not have brought it?
I doubt it's any problem.
The way the dungeon works is,
whoever finds something lying around
in a stratum gets right of ownership.
Dungeon?
They've been talking about levels and such.
Are we inside some kind of labyrinth?
But there's a sky.
Hey, can we buy stuff too if we pay?
Yes, I think you can.
Is that okay?
Hello there.
It talked!
A magic tool that can talk.
You could get a high price for that, huh?
I'm not selling him! He's going
with me to see Hulemy.
That crazy magic item engineer, huh?
Kocha Kadan
A silver coin, huh?
That's not cheap, but I'll have one of these.
Please insert coins.
Kokuuma Cream of Corn Soup
Well, I'll be! It's really good!
So's this!
I'm gonna try some of this
fried-looking stuff!
Let me have a little.
In the end, they bought every item.
Being able to drink warm things
and cold things is the best!
We lookouts have to stay here, so it'd be
great if you brought it by now and then.
Sure!
Business is looking up.
Just now
Quit makin' a fuss and wastin' our time.
It'll just make things worse for you.
What the hell're you doin'?!
A bunch of nasty-looking dudes
ganging up on a helpless girl?
That's a crime.
Well aren't we high and mighty.
You better be ready for this!
We won't hold back because you're a woman!
W-We'll let that be enough
of a lesson for today!
I look forward to your next use.
Sure enough, my hits didn't land.
Are you okay?
They didn't hurt you?
Yes, I'm perfectly fine.
Missus, I'm back!
You're not hurt?!
I was so worried!
Sorry, missus.
Lammis!
You're alive?! You're not a corpse fiend?!
I'm alive! I'm alive, Munami!
Do you know how much you worried me?!
Sorry.
When I questioned the hunters,
they said they ran off and left you!
I badmouthed them to so many people,
they'll never make a living
in this village again.
By the way, what's that?
Oh, I found him by the lake.
You brought back another weird thing?
Th-This time it's different!
He's very useful, and he
helped me out of a bind.
Ayoomp!
You're going back to the
surface to show it to Hulemy?
Do you have money to pay the transfer circle?
No, I do not.
"Transfer circle."
Apparently that's a thing here.
Incidentally, Lammis's lack of funds
is partially my fault. Sorry.
Okay, fine. You'll have to
work at our inn for a while.
Maybe we'll have this box sit
here and attract guests.
It can sell its contents, too.
Two birds with one stone, huh?
Hello there.
It really does speak.
Well, drum up business for us.
Thus did I come to be located
in front of the inn.
There's a sky, but this is apparently
a dungeon stratum called Clearflow Lake.
People started talking about their novelty
and deliciousness, and my goods sold like mad.
Then when night comes, Lammis carries
me and places me in front of the gate.
I'm thirsty, but I'm also finally
bored with all the drinks.
That's because you're buying at
least five of them every day.
Guess it's about time to change my stock.
What's my current status?
(Cold) Mineral Water 1,000 owa 130-count
(Warm) Corn Soup 1,000 owa 19-count
(Cold) Milk Tea 1,000 owa 24-count
Shaped Potato Chips 1,000 owa 36-count
Oh! After replenishing over and over,
and selling over 400 items,
I have over 3,000 points!
Okay, what to add?
It's best to put the customer's needs first.
So, I know!
The darn items have changed!
Three silver coins is steep, but if there's
new stuff to try, I have to spring for it!
Oden
Whoa, that's hot.
How do you open it?
Hey, there are pictures drawn on it.
Is that how to open it and eat what's inside?
Oden
This became famous in a
certain "electric town."
A kind and meticulous
explanation was added to it,
How to enjoy this product
so even foreign tourists
can understand the product.
Ah, it opened.
Sure smells good.
Wow, this is the stuff!
This might be my favorite!
I've never had these ingredients, and they're
steeped in a complex yet light flavor!
Damn! This makes me want strong drink!
My turn!
Hey! I was just about to buy something else!
That hooked them! Looks like I can
count on lots of canned oden sales!
Several days passed.
After that, word got around
about the canned oden,
and it caused a bit of
a boom in the village.
Must be because the weather
had recently turned colder.
A new sports drink I had recently
stocked up on is also doing well.
During the day, I make
canned oden unavailable.
That's when the inn's restaurant does
peak business, so I try not to disrupt that.
Instead, I help with pulling in guests.
I think this is the girl
Lammis saved in the alley.
Uh
Hello there.
I was going to talk first so I'd
have the negotiating advantage!
Hey!
What was that about?
When evening comes,
Lammis carries me to the gate.
She says carrying me in a
bear hug is inconvenient,
so she purchased a wooden
frame that goes on her back.
I'm stuffed.
I'm heading back now!
An interesting guest came to the inn today.
Hello there.
How were things over your way?
You might win an extra item!
Did you have fun, maybe?
I hope someday you can do lots of talking.
That's part of why I'll hurry and
save up so we can go see Hulemy.
Thank you very much.
Don't thank me!
I was the one you saved, Boxxo.
Boxxo?
It's a pain to go on calling you
"you," so what do you think?
You win!
Great! Here's to the future, Boxxo!
Being a vending machine in
another world is ridiculous,
but there I was, starting to think
this wasn't such a bad life.

should give up! For reals!
Whew, I made it.
I might as well recover my durability.
There, full recovery.
I've got 311 points left.
I'll still last over ten days,
but unless somebody buys something,
my points will run out and
I'll stop functioning.
What happens at that point?
Will I die?
What a tragic new life
or operating time, I guess.
Someone!
Someone, please show up!
Several Days Later
I wish I could have sold something at least
once as a vending machine before dying.
I know you're there!
Huh?
I had a feeling they were here.
But I'm glad they're not!
I'm so hungry, I've got no strength left!
Why does this always happen to me?
I even dropped my food bag.
I'm sorry, Ma and Pa!
I wasn't cut out to be a hunter!
Hunter? What's that about?
I need to defeat some
frog fiends for their meat.
But my attacks don't hit when
I'm alone, and I'm exhausted!
Maybe if I had some food at least.
Wait, what's that?
Looks too metally to be a stone monument.
They're a strange shape, but are
those drinks behind that glass?
Megumi Natural Water
And that looks like writing,
but I can't read it.
Hello there.
Wh-What was that voice?!
Where'd it come from?!
Please insert coins.
Is this box talking?!
Coins? You mean money?
I wonder if a copper coin'll work.
I'm sure it at least needs to be silver.
Don't tell me it's gold?!
As if I even had any.
Insert? In this narrow hole?
And I'm not sure what this hollow
with the see-through cover is.
Oh, I guess a copper coin
wasn't enough after all.
That is an unsupported coin.
If you acquire the coin conversion function,
you can accept it.
For real?! H-H-Hold on a minute!
There is is! I can afford 100 points.
Coin Conversion
The numbers went higher, but that
doesn't mean I increased the prices.
Huh? The numbers changed.
One thousand owa?!
That's a whole silver coin!
So, this world's unit of
currency is called the "owa."
That's expensive, but my belly needs food!
There it is!
It's shining!
Maybe I have to press this!
Well, there's a picture of soup on here!
Whoa, what?!
Something came out?
It's not gonna eat my hand
if I reach in, right?
I won't do that, so hurry and take it.
I highly recommend this corn soup!
Wow, that's so warm!
Kokuuma Cream of Corn Soup
So, do you twist the lid?
There!
Smells good!
What gives?! It's so tasty!
It's worlds tastier than the
joint where I've been eating!
What is this happiness?
Pleasing someone this much makes me
feel blessed to be a vending machine.
It's all gone already.
I bet the other stuff in there's good, too.
These clear ones're probably water.
Which means I'd better try
that light brown drink, too.
Looks like she took quite a
liking to the milk tea as well.
After that, she bought three more
corn soups, along with a water.
I earned six silver coins and
thirty coppers for a total of 6,300 owa.
Which means I recovered 63 points.
A full belly must have
broken the tension for her,
because the hunter girl
ended up falling asleep.
She's extremely vulnerable,
but also my best customer.
I'll protect you with my
barrier, so don't you worry.
Even trash removal is a snap!
Looks like I'm a kindhearted vending
machine in this other world.
Oh, I fell asleep.
Good thing no monsters showed up.
I'm down a lot of money, but my belly
and mind are in much better shape.
Thanks a lot.
Thank you very much.
Oh, uh, yes. And thank you, too.
Um, you can talk?
Maybe you can only say certain things.
See, someone I know is inventing tools
with magical power inside them.
I wonder if that's your deal, too.
If that's right, I'd like it if
you said something. Anything.
Hello there.
You understand me!
I bet Hulemy would be impressed if she knew!
Oh, I haven't told you my name.
It's Lammis.
Lammis. That has a mysterious ring to it.
Oh, hey. If you like, why not say,
"Hello there," when you mean "yes,"
and something else when you mean "no"?
Too bad.
Is that gonna work in place of "no"?
Hello there.
"Yes," huh? Got it.
Let's see. Can you tell me your name?
Too bad.
Oh, okay. What are you doing here?
Do you have some important mission?
Too bad.
This is just a guess but are you lonely?
Hello there.
That's what I thought.
For some reason, you looked lonely.
Would it be okay if I moved you?
Hello there.
Oh, okay!
Would you like to move from
here and meet Hulemy?
I think you and she would hit it off.
Hello there.
You're cool with it?
Okay, pardon me real quick.
Heave!
You're kidding! I weigh 500 kilograms!
You're a little heavy, but I can manage.
Hup, hup!
Thank you so much!
Apparently, Lammis has the blessing
called "Blessing of Might."
So, that explains her incredible strength.
I'm going to take a short break here.
Now I'm all hungry.
Wonder if I can buy some
of that thick yellow soup.
Corn soup isn't all that filling.
How about something else?
Oh, this looks good!
Th-That surprised me! You suddenly glowed
Did your items change?
Is that food, by chance?
Hello there.
Oh, it is!
It's the same price. Maybe I'll buy some.
What's with this texture?!
They're just salty, that's it.
But I can't stop myself!
I'm going through money like a sieve!
But I can't stop!
Thank you very much.
Thanks to that, I've recovered
up to 320 points.
I'll try using those to change
the price of mineral water.
Mineral Water
owa
I'd like to offer it for less,
but my life depends on it.
Soon we'll reach the entrance of this stratum.
Stratum?
After that it's a village,
so we can take it easy.
I'm back!
Lammis!
You're unharmed!
Karios, Gorth
Somehow I made it back alive.
We were worried, after your
group came back all but dead.
I'm sorry.
By the way, what's this?
It's apparently a magic tool with its own
will. I brought it back from lakeside.
It gives you items if you put money in it.
A magic tool?
I've never heard of such a thing,
here in the Clearflow Lake stratum.
Should I not have brought it?
I doubt it's any problem.
The way the dungeon works is,
whoever finds something lying around
in a stratum gets right of ownership.
Dungeon?
They've been talking about levels and such.
Are we inside some kind of labyrinth?
But there's a sky.
Hey, can we buy stuff too if we pay?
Yes, I think you can.
Is that okay?
Hello there.
It talked!
A magic tool that can talk.
You could get a high price for that, huh?
I'm not selling him! He's going
with me to see Hulemy.
That crazy magic item engineer, huh?
Kocha Kadan
A silver coin, huh?
That's not cheap, but I'll have one of these.
Please insert coins.
Kokuuma Cream of Corn Soup
Well, I'll be! It's really good!
So's this!
I'm gonna try some of this
fried-looking stuff!
Let me have a little.
In the end, they bought every item.
Being able to drink warm things
and cold things is the best!
We lookouts have to stay here, so it'd be
great if you brought it by now and then.
Sure!
Business is looking up.
Just now
Quit makin' a fuss and wastin' our time.
It'll just make things worse for you.
What the hell're you doin'?!
A bunch of nasty-looking dudes
ganging up on a helpless girl?
That's a crime.
Well aren't we high and mighty.
You better be ready for this!
We won't hold back because you're a woman!
W-We'll let that be enough
of a lesson for today!
I look forward to your next use.
Sure enough, my hits didn't land.
Are you okay?
They didn't hurt you?
Yes, I'm perfectly fine.
Missus, I'm back!
You're not hurt?!
I was so worried!
Sorry, missus.
Lammis!
You're alive?! You're not a corpse fiend?!
I'm alive! I'm alive, Munami!
Do you know how much you worried me?!
Sorry.
When I questioned the hunters,
they said they ran off and left you!
I badmouthed them to so many people,
they'll never make a living
in this village again.
By the way, what's that?
Oh, I found him by the lake.
You brought back another weird thing?
Th-This time it's different!
He's very useful, and he
helped me out of a bind.
Ayoomp!
You're going back to the
surface to show it to Hulemy?
Do you have money to pay the transfer circle?
No, I do not.
"Transfer circle."
Apparently that's a thing here.
Incidentally, Lammis's lack of funds
is partially my fault. Sorry.
Okay, fine. You'll have to
work at our inn for a while.
Maybe we'll have this box sit
here and attract guests.
It can sell its contents, too.
Two birds with one stone, huh?
Hello there.
It really does speak.
Well, drum up business for us.
Thus did I come to be located
in front of the inn.
There's a sky, but this is apparently
a dungeon stratum called Clearflow Lake.
People started talking about their novelty
and deliciousness, and my goods sold like mad.
Then when night comes, Lammis carries
me and places me in front of the gate.
I'm thirsty, but I'm also finally
bored with all the drinks.
That's because you're buying at
least five of them every day.
Guess it's about time to change my stock.
What's my current status?
(Cold) Mineral Water 1,000 owa 130-count
(Warm) Corn Soup 1,000 owa 19-count
(Cold) Milk Tea 1,000 owa 24-count
Shaped Potato Chips 1,000 owa 36-count
Oh! After replenishing over and over,
and selling over 400 items,
I have over 3,000 points!
Okay, what to add?
It's best to put the customer's needs first.
So, I know!
The darn items have changed!
Three silver coins is steep, but if there's
new stuff to try, I have to spring for it!
Oden
Whoa, that's hot.
How do you open it?
Hey, there are pictures drawn on it.
Is that how to open it and eat what's inside?
Oden
This became famous in a
certain "electric town."
A kind and meticulous
explanation was added to it,
How to enjoy this product
so even foreign tourists
can understand the product.
Ah, it opened.
Sure smells good.
Wow, this is the stuff!
This might be my favorite!
I've never had these ingredients, and they're
steeped in a complex yet light flavor!
Damn! This makes me want strong drink!
My turn!
Hey! I was just about to buy something else!
That hooked them! Looks like I can
count on lots of canned oden sales!
Several days passed.
After that, word got around
about the canned oden,
and it caused a bit of
a boom in the village.
Must be because the weather
had recently turned colder.
A new sports drink I had recently
stocked up on is also doing well.
During the day, I make
canned oden unavailable.
That's when the inn's restaurant does
peak business, so I try not to disrupt that.
Instead, I help with pulling in guests.
I think this is the girl
Lammis saved in the alley.
Uh
Hello there.
I was going to talk first so I'd
have the negotiating advantage!
Hey!
What was that about?
When evening comes,
Lammis carries me to the gate.
She says carrying me in a
bear hug is inconvenient,
so she purchased a wooden
frame that goes on her back.
I'm stuffed.
I'm heading back now!
An interesting guest came to the inn today.
Hello there.
How were things over your way?
You might win an extra item!
Did you have fun, maybe?
I hope someday you can do lots of talking.
That's part of why I'll hurry and
save up so we can go see Hulemy.
Thank you very much.
Don't thank me!
I was the one you saved, Boxxo.
Boxxo?
It's a pain to go on calling you
"you," so what do you think?
You win!
Great! Here's to the future, Boxxo!
Being a vending machine in
another world is ridiculous,
but there I was, starting to think
this wasn't such a bad life.
Next Time
The King Frog Fiend Appears
Thank you very much.
I look forward to your next use.
