Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon (2023) s01e03 Episode Script

Rebuilding

1
We finished our battle with the frog fiends,
and returned to the village.
No unusual events transpired
on our way home, but
Hey!
The village!
Everyone, I'm sorry. I know you're tired.
But it looks like there's
one more thing we must do.
Munami, missus
She's known them far longer
than me, so for her this is
There must be some way to let
her know what I'm thinking!
Forward-to-there, insert coins.
Boxxo?
Thank you-look-to-there-coins.
Forward to there, insert coins.
Forward? Look there?
You're right! We won't know
anything if we don't go look!
Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon
Rebuilding
It looks like something
got dragged through here.
But what?
The inn!
Is the inn okay?!
No This is terrible!
Munami! Missus!
Uh-oh! She might go running inside!
You-might-too bad.
Boxxo!
Sorry, Boxxo. You're telling
me to calm down.
And if there's no answer, it might
mean they evacuated somewhere.
Hello there.
Let's see, at a time like
this they'd go to
Oh, the Hunters Association!
Hey! Lammis and Boxxo!
Karios! Gorth!
You guys are safe and sound too!
Can't beat that.
Um, where are those two?
Oh, don't worry! They're inside.
Th-Thank goodness!
This is where the transfer circle is.
It's fully defended.
Of course. This village was
built inside a dungeon,
so maybe it's no surprise they
have all these defenses.
Lammy! Welcome back!
Munami! Missus!
Well, what a heck of a day today was.
Did you two get hurt?
Nope! I'm fine!
Thank you very much.
These people I see every day
I've only lived here for a few weeks,
but I already don't want to lose any of them.
I feel that all the more because
I've already died once.
All goods are on me today!
It's a steal!
This two-headed snake monster is apparently
a natural enemy of the frog men.
All the fat makes it yummy!
But they eat the monsters they defeat!
I'm not sure whether to call this
world's people wild or resilient.
This free giveaway means there are
some brand new faces in line.
A new type of alcoholic beverage
is selling like crazy,
with potato chips and oden as accompaniment.
Oden
The free stuff ends after tonight!
Tomorrow, I'm going to make loads of money!
Boxxo!
Are you drinking?
We've been through a lot since we went on
that expedition, but it sure was rewarding!
Hello there.
You know what? I'm happy.
Super happy that everyone's still alive,
but also really happy to see
everyone gather to you.
It makes me think at some point,
you became a necessary part of this place.
And that makes me happy, so happy
So, that's what she's been thinking.
She really is a nice girl.
Good night, Lammis.
And here's to tomorrow.
The merchants are as busy as can
be getting their shops ready.
There will be lots of carpenters
around and hunters on guard duty.
That much I expect.
And Lammis was summoned by Director Bear.
I just hope her assessment as a hunter
improved as a result of that expedition.
Listen, Boxxo!
I got a personal request from the director!
Incredible, huh!
Hello there.
Check it out! It's for rubble removal!
Of course it is.
Munami! Missus!
I'm here to help!
So you are, Lammy!
This'll be a huge help.
Hello there.
This is the site?
Oh, there's the box with a mind of its own.
Great! We're in luck.
And the pay is good, so we'll buy tons—
This is full, so I'll go dump it!
Because of that Blessing of Might,
Lammis apparently used to be a screw-up,
and her colleagues treated
her like a nuisance.
Maybe if she'd been given enough
of this simple manual labor,
they'd have thought better of her.
Oh, Lammis. Hard at work, I see!
I've come to deliver a bribe to
you hard-working youngsters.
This guy's
Yeah.
Choose whatever you like
from Boxxo. It's on me.
Naturally, that goes for you ladies as well.
Your treat? Then I'll have this and this!
Lammy, at times like this you should
choose the most expensive things.
In that case, I'll have about a hundred
stewed items for snacking purposes.
W-Well, that's
Actually, Lammis. Would you
care to join our menagerie?
That goes for Boxxo too, of course.
I would not.
O-Oh
Hey, why'd you refuse?
It's an invitation to
the Menagerie of Fools!
Because we're rebuilding right now,
so we need all the help we can get.
You must be Mister Boxxo,
the box with a mind of its own?
Hello there.
May I take that as a "yes"?
Boxxo, what's up?
Uh, who might you be?
I am Acowi, from the Exchange House.
Standing behind me here
is my assistant, Gocguy.
Nice to meet you.
We've come here because we received word
this stratum is low on silver coins.
Whoever could be hoarding silver coins?
Disgraceful.
Oh, that's because Boxxo gets paid
practically only with silver coins!
Lammis, shush!
That's what I suspected.
In that case, I have a
proposal for Mister Boxxo.
We're brought about a hundred gold coins.
Could you exchange them for the
silver coins you've saved up?
Exchange, huh?
I do believe one gold coin
is worth 100 silver?
And I'd say one gold coin is
worth ¥100,000 Japanese yen.
That's quite a lot of money!
What do you say?
Too bad.
That means you cannot accept?
I want to do the exchange,
but this vending machine isn't
equipped with an exchange function.
Oh! Maybe if you buy something with
a gold coin, you'll get change!
The first gold coin I've had in me!
This will work! Let's keep purchasing!
Damn! I got put through the
wringer thanks to him!
Any more might be an imposition on
Mister Boxxo, so we will stop here.
We will be back another day
to make more purchases.
I look forward to doing business then.
Boxxo, you're so rich!
Better watch out so nobody robs you.
Hello there.
You might win an extra item!
Yeah, yeah!
Come on, come on!
Vending
yen
Seven, seven
Six!
No way!
Too bad.
I'm finally able to use this bit of
speech for its intended purpose.
I added the digital lottery function!
Since I installed this,
I've made close to 30% more sales!
Calm down, just calm down.
I'll make this the last one!
The chances of winning a water are high!
I wager my whole gambling
life on this one shot!
What are you doing, old man?
That bad old habit of yours is back.
You don't remember what today is, do you?
I remember! I do!
Sorry, Boxxo!
I sent a letter to Hulemy,
but there's been no reply.
She's probably still hanging
around in a stratum somewhere.
So do you mind waiting here
until she contacts me?!
Hello there.
Are you busy right now?
Director!
I have something to discuss. Could you
come to the Association?
As I told Lammis before,
you both did well on the campaign.
Without the two of you,
there's a good chance the situation
would have gone from bad to worse.
I thank you.
By the way, Boxxo. I have a
favor to ask, if it's possible.
Would you mind leaving the
room for this, Lammis?
I guess not.
Can I wait downstairs?
Please. I'll send for you once we're done.
Yes, sir.
Recent developments have seen quite a
few hoping to migrate to the village.
But a population increase brings
with it a range of issues.
I very much hope you'll help
out with any food shortfalls,
but right now it's a matter of hygiene
that has me tearing out my fur.
We bear fiends don't have much in the way
of physical desire outside breeding season,
but humans are not so orderly.
Diseases often end up spreading, which would
delay reconstruction efforts.
Aha, so that's why he wanted
Lammis to leave the room.
I mean hey, that's just
part of human behavior.
Shirley, please come in.
Nice to meet you. My name is Shirley.
Wow, she's pretty!
It would be a delight for the
village to grow more energized.
And if we tighten regulations
to deal with the hygiene issues,
that then creates other problems.
One thing comes to mind,
for preventing such diseases.
But will they be able to understand it?
Well, might as well show them and see.
So this is how you go about
changing your products.
OUTLE
What might this box be?
Is this your secret plan, Boxxo?
Firm Fit
Hello there.
Ten silver coins. That isn't cheap.
OUTLE
You tear open this little notched bag
and take out what's inside?
Hello there.
Healthy! Family Planning
My what a strange material.
It's interesting how it
stretches and contracts.
There's slimy liquid on one side.
What's this immoral mood I'm in?
I have no idea how to use it.
There was some paper in the box, though.
I shall take a look.
Ah, so that's how it works.
Good thing it's easy to understand,
thanks to this diagram.
This is indeed a wonderful product.
It should protect against diseases.
Let's purchase a large amount, and
distribute them in the entertainment quarter.
I made lots of sales.
Boxxo, your body feels a little hot.
Did something happen?
There's a girl who shows
up in the afternoon.
I had been overlooking her
little bouts of mischief.
But this time, no way.
Please insert coins.
You rude thing! D-Do you
have any idea who I am?!
Break that thing! Break it!
My, my. Miss Suori's tomboyish
antics are so troublesome.
As per usual, the girl showed up again.
Father, you said you'd come home today.
Liar.
Hello there.
I can have this?
Thank you very much.
U-Um
Thank you.
I look forward to your next use.
I wish I had your figure, Shirley!
Thank you.
It's not like anyone's going
to get on my case for gawking,
but I'm glad I'm not flesh and blood!
Boxxo, could you sell me the usual?
Men's Underwear
This liquid hair cleaner!
It's great stuff, the way it
makes hair unbelievably glossy!
Yes! That's why I've been installed here!
I'd like to emphasize it wasn't
because I wanted it this way!
I've been shedding like crazy lately.
Because your new coat's
growing in, right?
Yeah, but I ache so much, I can't stand it.
Yeah, it's almost mating season!
Oh, Boxxo's here today!
I'll stock up on fur wash.
Me too.
If I can improve my coat with this,
all the males will notice!
Turns out the scent is irresistible!
My boyfriend got all hot and bothered before,
even though it wasn't mating season!
Only in the bathhouse
You serious? That's awesome!
Putting one's hand on one's hip is so universal,
they even do it in other worlds.
That hits the spot right after a bath!
A cold one for me too, Boxxo.
Make it the brown kind today.
That faint sweetness is just the best!
Sure enough, after a bath it's got to be
either fruit-flavored or coffee-flavored milk.
In a bottle, of course.
That's nonnegotiable in a bathhouse!
Vending
yen
Grandpa, what are these numbers?
They change when you buy something.
If they all end up as the same number,
you can get another one for free.
And they say if you win here,
it can make you happy all day.
I want to try!
Let's try it, then.
By the way, what I recommend
for you is water.
Okay, I'll try that!
I'm glad I got up the nerve to come see you.
I'm sorry for being such
a bad daughter, Mom.
For a parent, the worst thing a
child can do is die before them.
Vending
yen
Yes! I only need one more, right?
This is the one that never hits.
Vending
yen
Seven! Seven! Seven! Seven!
I got a seven! I did it!
Wh-What?!
May, hurry and decide or you'll run out
of time to get something for free.
Okay, this!
This is for you, Grandpa!
You're giving it to me?
Thank you.
Ah, but the day's almost over. It'll only make
you happy for a little while. What a waste.
So what?
I've been happy all day today,
since I got to see you and Grandma!
That's why it's not a waste!
You're right.
Was it a coincidence or not
that May hit the jackpot?
Bet it tastes good, Grandpa.
Bet it does.
That's something best left unsaid.
Boxxo, I heard you can use "mimicry"
to blend in with your surroundings.
Is that true?
Hello there.
Well, that's really something!
I suppose nobody would find you like this.
Could I ask you to perform
a task with that ability?
Task?
I'd like you to hide out where a
rash of crimes have been occurring,
so you can identify the offender.
First, could we test just how
useful this mimicry of yours is?
From here, I have a clear view
of the Hunters Association.
Nice change of pace.
Boxxo! Where are you, Boxxo?!
Didn't the director say
he was borrowing him?
He did?
What'll you do today? Want to
help out around here again?
I'm going to help out at
the Association today,
so I can meet Boxxo whenever
he's ready to come back.
Okay, okay.
Oh, Boxxo isn't with you?
Right, he's doing something
for the director today.
Oh, that's too bad.
Boxxo sure is popular.
What a quiet day.
I wanted to have some alowaz fruit juice.
Boxxo's a jerk! Jerk! Jerk!
Hey, Suori!
You shouldn't go calling Boxxo a jerk.
So there you are, booby monster.
I already told you before, it's "Lammis."
By the way, Lammaries, have you
given any thought to you-know-what?
It's "Lammis"!
No matter how much money
you offer, I won't hand over Boxxo!
You could have so much money,
your family could fritter it away for
three generations and not run out.
I told you before, Boxxo isn't my property.
Besides, money can't replace him.
Don't you think you
restrict Boxxo too much?!
Rather than spend every day with some
stumpy woman with no sex appeal,
wouldn't he be happier passing the time
elegantly with me in my magnificent residence?!
Stumpy? No sex appeal?
Maybe you're not one to talk, Suori.
But I'm still growing.
I have plenty to look forward to.
Mother's are even larger than yours!
How heartbreaking, Miss Suori!
She doesn't know that the
madam pads her chest!
Well, enough of that for now.
Lammaries, is it all right
if I ask you something?
I'll think about it, if you
call me by my proper name.
Lammis
Yes?
Boxxo isn't just some magic tool, is he?
Exactly what is going on inside there?
Well, about that I'm not too sure either.
But he understands what you say,
and he responds accordingly,
so he's probably the same as any human.
So, that's how you think of me.
Thank you, Lammis.
Well, that will do.
I'll use all the time and money
it takes to acquire Boxxo.
Sooner or later, you'll see
what makes me so good.
Anyway! Boxxo isn't around today.
Go on home.
I'll be back another day.
Until then, I'll leave Boxxo in your care,
so polish him up nice and shiny for me!
Suori is willing to talk a lot
more than she was before.
Hello there.
Boxxo?! How long have you been there?!
You should speak up sooner!
You know what? All sorts
of things happened today!
Want to hear about it?
Hello there.
Next Time
Boxxo Is Abducted
Thank you very much.
I look forward to your next use.
