The King Frog Fiend Appears

What?
What, what, what, what, what?!
What's the deal with this bear?!
Morning, Boxxo!
Huh? This is rare! The director of
the Hunters Association is here.
Hello there.
Ah, so you're the talk of
the village, the speaking magical tool.
Director of the Hunters Association?!
You see, there's a plan to go
attack a frog fiend base soon.
I'd like the two of you to take part.
There's a request I never saw coming.
Huh? Boxxo can't fight.
I know.
I want him to provide food and
drinks while we're on the road.
Warm, ready-to-eat food would
be invaluable for hunters.
If you come along, we'll make
sure you're well guarded.
What do you say, Boxxo?
Do you accept this job?
Sounds like if we ignore the frog fiends,
the village will be exposed to danger,
and that includes Lammis.
Hello there.
Okay, count me in, too.
I appreciate it.
Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon
The King Frog Fiend Appears
It's been three days since we
made our pact with Director Bear.
Lammis and I were taking part in
the strike on the frog fiends.
According to Director Bear,
the survival of the village is important,
but the most important thing is that it
doesn't lose custody of its transfer circle.
The transfer circle is apparently a magic
device that lets people come and go
from this Clearflow Lake stratum
to other strata or the surface.
Hey.
A-Are they?
I'm sure of it.
Hey, Shiro.
It's that time of year again.
It sure is, Aka.
A lucrative time, so let's earn lots of money!
Munami was saying frog fiends are
troublesome because in breeding season,
they lay lots of eggs, so you get
a bunch of new adults all at once.
But the word is that there are more
frog fiends than usual this year.
Is that so?
Well, look at all these hunters.
I doubt it'll be a problem.
Hey, somebody help out here!
Don't be so tense.
We're here to guard you.
No need to be afraid of the frog fiends.
Right.
So this is that box with a mind of its own?
I heard lots about it in the village.
He's Boxxo. If you put money in,
you can buy food or drinks.
Hey, that's convenient.
I might as well buy something
for the occasion.
Kokuuma Cream of Corn Soup
Oden
Yeah, I'll make it this one with the
picture that looks like lomawa slices.
Early Afternoon
Kocha Kadan
Thank you very much.
Wow, it really talks!
Must say, I'm impressed.
I've never seen a container like this.
There's no way this detailed picture
was drawn by hand, line by line.
Well, I'm not really sure.
Oh, and empty containers disappear,
so don't worry about trash.
Seriously?!
That just leaves the taste.
Good stuff!
It's even warm! Awesome!
Hey, how does this stuff get refilled?
Early Afternoon
About that Boxxo's never once been refilled.
Even though he's sold hundreds
of items. Weird, huh?
This box gets more and more interesting.
Hey, Filmina! Come over here a minute!
What is it, Captain Kerioyl?
Stubble here is in charge?
Which means the guards
must all work for him.
Don't you know lots about magic
tools and ancient treasures?
Have any idea what this Boxxo thing is?
I don't sense any magical power.
It just seems like an
inorganic block of iron.
Well, yeah, I am a vending machine.
Yeah, but stuff comes out of
it without any refills ever.
Doesn't that mean the stuff's being transferred
or stored in some otherworldly space?
Normally, yes, but there are blessings that
do things besides produce magical power.
Not that a block of iron
could ever use blessings.
But little do you know that I can use them.
Must be some kind of nonstandard being.
I don't get it, but I'm
grateful if it helps us out.
Much appreciated, Boxxo.
Thank you very much.
Listen up! The sun will soon set!
We'll make our camp here!
Yes, sir!
Now's my chance to make
some repeat customers!
Thank you very much.
I look forward to your next use.
Yes, for the sake of this campaign,
I added a new function.
This warms me to the core!
This mysterious meat is a treat!
Nights and mornings have
started getting pretty cold,
so I added cup noodles to my inventory.
This is great!
This! And this! And this!
It's all so good!
That's one of the guard girls.
She eats a lot for being so small.
Your appetite's incredible.
I'm just getting started.
My name's Lammis. Nice to meet you.
I'm Shui. Well met.
May I join you?
Oh, Director.
I want to talk to you about tomorrow.
It'll take about three hours from
here to reach the frog fiend den.
You're here to provide food,
so I want you to decide whether to wait
here or come with us to the battlefield.
I'm technically a hunter, so I have
no problem going into battle.
But Boxxo, you don't want to get
dragged into battle, correct?
Too bad.
Huh? You're okay with being in the fight?
Hello there.
All right.
Director, Boxxo and I will join the battle.
I'll be counting on you.
I'll protect Lammis. Just you watch.
She's my first customer in this
world and my first friend!
It's so humid!
Poor footing, too.
The ground's all muddy.
They're up ahead! Charge!
Captain!
Here they come.
We get paid extra for the number we put down!
Get fired up, guys!
Yes, sir!
You got it!
Boxxo, let's do this together!
Hello there.
But Lammis was saying she's bad at
landing hits. I wonder if this'll work.
Huh? I hit it?
Did I defeat that one?
Looks like having me on her back balanced
her and made it easier to connect!
That hit because of you, Boxxo! Thanks!
Hello there.
Nothing makes me happier than
to help her, even indirectly.
O water, form swirls and pierce!
It's not natural for so
many enemies to pop up.
This is startin' to seem fishy.
Group up, people! If you go off on your own,
that might be the end of you!
This looks like real trouble!
Isn't this more than we can handle, captain?
You can whine later.
If it comes down to it, I don't
care if you abandon the pork wagon.
Now, come and get us!
Shui! Thanks!
That was easy enough!
Look out!
No!
What's this light? Is it your power?
I-It's not.
Then who put up this wall of light?
That was close.
I'd like to widen my field
of view some, after all.
Omnidirectional Vision
There it is! It's 1,000 points, but I'd rather
spend the points than not have it.
Oh! My field of vision just opened up!
Boxxo, tell me if an
enemy comes up behind us!
You might win an extra item!
Got it. If you say "You might win,"
that means there's an enemy?
Hello there.
You're not bad, you know.
Your destructive power and
parrying skills are impressive.
Don't say that. You're making me blush.
You might win an extra item!
Don't you heap on the praise too, Boxxo!
You might win an extra item!
You might win an extra item!
No, I mean there are enemies!
What's this blue light? A blessing of yours?
Nope. This is Boxxo's power.
Boxxo's?
Well, well
That's an up-to-no-good look.
Time to upgrade him to
"potentially dangerous."
I think I'd like to get in good with Boxxo.
Stubble, your request is denied.
Looks like this place is nearly dealt with.
You guys, be sure to cut off those tongues.
We'll hand them over to
the association later.
Do some of them yourself, Captain.
This is all gooey and gross.
I'm the captain because I don't want
to deal with that sort of mess.
Tyrant!
No fair!
Our pay's too low!
Boo!
You guys have got some serious guts.
Boo!
I'm surprised by how comfortable
they are with each other.
So, what to do next?
This isn't bad for earnings, but we could
always step it up and head for the front lines.
Our duty is still to guard
Miss Lammis and Boxxo.
Yeah, but Vice Captain Filmina
The more money we make now,
the easier it'll be to run the group.
There might even be a bonus in
it for you guys, so it's a shame if we don't go.
Truly a shame.
All right. Let's go help on the front lines.
But only if Miss Lammis consents.
Yeah, I hear you!
Spend all your time worrying over details,
and it'll give you more wrinkles.
Let's just take it easy.
Vice Captain Filmina,
feel free to take a swing at him.
On that note, what say you, Miss Lammis?
Let's go! Let's fight!
I bet you want some combat action too, right?
That's cold.
Well
If they're having a hard time
at the front, I'd like to help!
That's a wise decision.
You okay with that, Boxxo?
Hello there.
Takes care of them!
Shit
Ow
We've got to carry all
our wounded in the wagon.
You okay?
Y-Yeah.
I don't like not being able
to help at times like this.
Can't I do something?
I know!
What's this?
You might win an extra item!
You want to give that to our wounded?
Hello there.
I'll at least provide some sports drinks.
Feel free to drink as much as you like.
Sure.
Thank you.
That's good!
Yeah, a life saver.
Way to go, Boxxo!
Thank you very much.
Thanks for the help, Kerioyl.
Just what I'd expect from
the Menagerie of Fools.
Menagerie of Fools?
That's a weird name for a group.
We had too much time on our hands.
Maybe you didn't need the help?
I appreciate the cooperation.
Thanks to that, we managed to subdue them.
However, there were easily more than
twice as many frog fiends as expected.
I can only think of one reason.
What does it mean?
This is merely speculation, but there's a
good chance a king frog fiend has arisen.
A king frog fiend?!
What's that?
Sounds strong, based on the name.
Kerioyl, you've been asked to act as guards,
but if a king frog fiend has
appeared, that changes things.
My only choice is to ask for your assistance.
Sure, leave it to Menagerie of Fools.
I appreciate that.
Lammis, can I ask you both to remain here
and provide food for the
wounded and the hunters?
Sure! Boxxo and I have it covered!
Hey! Could someone come
help tend to the wounded?
I'll do it!
Boxxo, I'll leave you alone for a bit.
Don't cry because you're lonely!
I look forward to your next use.
What gives?
Don't look at me later if you do get lonely.
We might look like lovers if I were
flesh and blood, but I'm inorganic.
Now, then
Who's this guy?
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Are you trying to steal my money?!
Hello there.
L-Listen, you!
Keep quiet if you don't
want to get destroyed!
That's more like it.
Hot!
How about some red-hot corn soup?
Screw you, you dumbass box!
I'll bust you open!
What do you think you're doing to Boxxo?
S-Stop it!
Don't cause any more trouble.
You reap what you sow.
It's the king frog fiend!
What the hell's it doing over here?!
And it looks pissed!
Retreat! All hands, retreat!
Too bad. Too bad.
Y-You're right. I need to calm down.
Boxxo, let's get out of here too!
Shit! The unasusu are rooted to the spot!
They must be afraid of that thing!
Come on, move!
It'll be okay.
That's what I thought she'd do.
Wh-Why'd you let them run off?!
Are you telling us to die?!
I'll pull it in their place!
Say what?!
We're moving!
Now what? What should I do?!
Just withstand its attacks with a barrier?!
But while I might be able to save Lammis,
I can't also save the wounded!
Don't I have some way to slow it down?!
Some item that will buy
time or get in its way?!
Damn it, something! Something!
Apple Juice
Orange Juice
Apple Juice
Orange Juice
Grape Juice
Pineapple Juice
Tomato Juice
Honey Lemon
Energy Drink
Soda Pop
Ramune
Cola
Diet Cola
Zero Calorie Cola
Wait a minute! I can use this!
Thank you very much.
What? Are you saying to use that item?
Hello there.
You must have some plan!
I don't get it, but I'll take this!
Now to buy a new function: form change!
Huh?! Boxxo's all rounded now!
That makes it sound like my
personality was too harsh
You want me to take this too, right?
So far, so good. Now comes the hard part.
How do I get her to understand?
Please insert coins.
Please insert coins.
Please insert coins.
I need to put in coins, even after
all this stuff came out?!
Too bad.
Please insert coins.
Please insert coins.
Wh-What do you mean?!
To say I'm not explaining
enough is an understatement.
But there's nothing else I can do!
Lammis, maybe it's broken!
That's not true!
I'm sure Boxxo is desperately
trying to tell me something!
She believes in me, and she's
trying to piece it together!
Lammis trusts me this much, but still
So I don't put coins in here?
What is that?! Untie my ropes!
I don't plan on dying with you guys!
Shut up!
What's this paper?
C-Can't breathe! Water, water!
Drink some of this!
Maybe
What?! It blew up!
My eyes sting!
Yes! This is the phenomenon that
went viral on video sharing sites!
If you put a specific candy into cola,
the contents will gush out all at once!
I get it! Just put this candy into here!
Hello there.
Everyone help out!
Ready!
Ready!
Get it right in the eyes!
So this is where it was!
Lend Lammis and Boxxo a hand!
Understood.
On it!
Yeah!
We did it!
It was thanks to you, Boxxo!
I look forward to your next use.
Lammis, rein it in a little.
I was scared to death.
I'm sorry, Director.
Well, it was our error that
exposed your group to danger.
I apologize.
N-Not at all! I'm the one who's
sorry for going out on a limb!
The bear and the girl are
busily bowing to each other.
It's a surreal, but heartwarming sight.
Well done, everyone! Let's head for home.
But until we reach the village,
the campaign continues.
Stay on your toes.
Yes, sir!
Thank you very much.
Next Time
Rebuilding
I look forward to your next use.
