Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon (2023) s01e06 Episode Script
The Fighting Vending Machine
1
Long ago, a small village was
attacked and wiped out by monsters.
Lammis and I are among the few survivors.
We both ended up losing our parents.
Lammis had her strength then,
but she was too scared to do anything,
and she's regretted it ever since.
I didn't know Lammis was harboring
such a bitter memory.
Once spring arrives, the hunters
will become active again.
Next time, I'll protect Lammis.
Hello there.
Sure is cold, though.
I should've worn an additional scarf.
That one's a gaudy color.
Red's my lucky color!
Hello there.
Oden
Nice and hot again today!
All you ever buy is stewed stuff.
So what?
This stuff's my absolute favorite!
Catch you later, Boxxo.
We appreciate it.
Thank you very much.

The Fighting Vending Machine
You know?!
I wish you could have seen
their faces when it hap—
Thank you!
Wh-What a coincidence!
I was just headed over to your shop!
I-Is that so?
I'm on my way back there, too.
Uh, y-your scarf is a pretty color
Y-Yeah, I like red
Why not offer to carry her things?
Y-You're right.
If you'd like.
Th-Thank you!
Here I am again, dressed in
your favorite color today.
Yet all I can do is gaze as you walk away.
Alrighty!
What's this?
A vegetable?
Is it all right for me to take it?
Hello there.
Now it's eggs.
THE KONJAC
Fishcake Friends
Heaven's Stock
Um, what's this?
Heaven's Stock
Soup stock, made from flying fish.
What am I, um, supposed to do with all this?
The Blessings of Oden
Oden
You're telling me to stew
these ingredients together!
Hello there.
Thank you so much!
I know I can get his attention with this!
Say what?!
Gorth! Boxxo! Love is the best!
Every day seems to sparkle!
She cooked for me again yesterday,
and it's unbelievably good!
Oden
What, Boxxo? Are we celebrating
with one on the house?
Hot!
Eat it while it's hot, why don'cha!
Boxxo, we're back!
Hello there.
It's warm today, so we might as
well have some cold bubbly stuff.
We're setting out tomorrow, Boxxo. Okay?
Hello there.
Oh, your outing with
the Menagerie of Fools starts tomorrow.
Yeah, they said we're going to go
check on the crocodile fiends.
Crocodile fiends, huh?
They're one of the three big monster factions
that inhabit the Clearflow Lake stratum.
We ended up defeating the frog
fiends and two-headed snakes,
so it looks like we're going to see if
the crocodile fiends over-multiplied.
But any culling would have
to wait, apparently.
It's true that not looking
into it would be dangerous.
A king frog fiend appeared,
and even a giant two-headed snake.
Something strange might be
going on in this stratum.
Lammis, get away from there
if things get dicey.
Sure. If it gets dangerous,
I'll run for it with Boxxo.
Right?
Hello there.
Yeah, never fear. I'll protect Lammis.
Oh, here they come.
Thanks for waiting, guys!
Lammis, Boxxo, here we go again!
You're a welcome sight!
Yeah!
Glad to be here!
Lammis! Boxxo!
Be careful out there.
We will.
Okay, time to go!
Lammis and Boxxo, you can ride, too.
No, I'll just walk like
this. It's good training.
I'll be happy to take your place, then.
You're coming too, Hulemy?
Sure.
If it's an ecological survey, shouldn't you
have someone well-informed along?
Director Bear himself hired me to go.
Did she keep it under wraps
just to surprise us?
Well, things should be okay with
the Menagerie of Fools along.
Gotta love this weather.
To be honest, it's not my style to live
behind a stockade in town.
I'll waste away if I don't take
a breather outside now and then.
Hello there.
Anyone ready for a break?
I'm famished.
Th-Thank you!
No prob.
Maybe I should do something, too.
I could try throwing rocks.
Throwing, huh?
That'd put her excessive
strength to good use.
Lammis.
This is that bubbly drink.
The container's harder than usual.
Isn't he telling you to throw that?
Of course!
Wow, that got some serious distance.
I can't stand it!
Getting to eat all this
good stuff on a campaign?
I'm glad I took part!
Looks like thanks to Boxxo, we aren't going
to have to worry about running out of food.
This time we won't have to catch
monsters and roast them whole!
Good! I'm so glad!
Excuse me, I'll be back.
Be careful.
Are you going to show us
some new function again?
Emergency
Stockpile
Hello there.
Emergency
Stockpile
Something's been added onto your side.
Is this a foldable chair?
What's the hole for?
This bag fits right into the chair hole!
That just leaves how to use this.
A tent just big enough for one person
And a chair with a hole and a bag
Is this a toilet?!
Toilet?
Yes! It's a simple toilet, installed
on the sides of vending machines
as a disaster management service!
I get it.
This way, nobody will see you,
and if you close the bag once you're
done, the stink won't get out.
Is that true?!
Right, Boxxo?
Hello there.
What a big help!
How about it?
It's because I talked Boxxo into coming
that you can use these conveniences.
Go on, sing my praises!
You don't get credit on account
of Boxxo being amazing.
Ouch.
We're in their territory now,
so you guys stay on guard.
Then you should keep watch too, Captain.
Screw that.
Wanna poke him from below with a spear?
I think you should!
Captain, please come down.
We want do discuss how
we're going to proceed.
If you insist.
Aka and Shiro, you guys go scouting.
All right, fine.
He wants those two to handle recon?
Okay, let's get going.
By all appearances, they look more like the
guys in a group who are the life of the party.
This'll be a breeze.
This just goes to show you shouldn't
judge people by their appearances.
Might as well wait and take it easy.
Boxxo, you got any tasty snacks?
Some of that sweetened tea for me.
Hello there.
We're back!
Just now!
Hey, good work.
Take a break, then report.
Yes, sir!
Let's see. Was it about two
hours northeast of here, Aka?
That's right, Shiro.
There's a small marsh, without about
thirty of them splashing around.
Thirty? How big is that
for a typical group?
They range from ten to fifty at the most.
Thirty means a mid-sized group.
How tall were they?
Um, on their hind legs,
maybe about as tall as us.
Yeah, about the same.
That's smaller than usual.
Have they been short on food,
since they can't attack frog fiends?
Aren't crocodile fiends the most
vicious of the three major groups?
If frog fiend numbers increased lately,
wouldn't they be happy since that means more food?
That's because of that
recent king frog fiend.
They're certainly absurdly strong
in battle, but they also lead well.
Small groups and individuals
tend to gather to them.
No wonder we had to be so
careful dealing with them.
If it's not a big group,
why not just leave them be?
Captain, crocodile fiends are carnivorous.
What do you think they'll attack
to satisfy their hunger?
Humans
Still though, this job only
involves information gathering.
We don't need to go killing them.
Crocodile fiend materials
fetch a high price!
Now's our chance, while they've been weakened!
The vice captain changes completely
when money is involved.
Yeah, but there's still risk involved,
and we should make sure we're prepared.
She usually has such a cool head, too.
Is Vice Captain Filmina a miser?
No, look at her captain.
Money's probably a big challenge.
Then I guess we'll go put them down.
We usually attack at night.
I'd avoid that.
Crocodile fiends are nocturnal.
They're more ferocious at night.
Oh, is that so?
Lammis and I overlapped.
Then we'll get plenty of rest
tonight and move in the morning.
I'm countin' on all of you!
Yeah!
Once the fighting starts,
I'll have nothing to do.
Lammis, don't take too many chances.
Sure.
Boxxo, if things get bad,
protect Lammis for me.
Hello there.
I'm relying on you, Boxxo.
I wish I could help somehow, too.
When it comes to crocodile
fiend weaknesses—
What's up, Boxxo?
Automatic Ice Machine
You're using a weird form again.
What's this?
Wow, it's cold!
That's ice, isn't it?
But what's he doing, dispensing ice?
He's telling us to use it
for the crocodile hunt.
Hello there.
Boxxo, can you dispense a
ridiculous amount of this ice?
Hello there.
Looks like this will turn
out to be interesting.
You might win an extra item!
Come on, tell me so I understand, too!
Captain!
The crocodile fiends have come ashore!
They were shivering like they were cold!
Good work.
Looks like it worked as planned.
Vice Captain, is it possible to
obstruct their view with fog magic?
Covering the entire marsh
with fog is too difficult.
What to do, then?
We could split them into groups
What is it, Boxxo?!
What's this shape? I've never seen it.
What's that? It's awful cloudy to be ice.
Is it like hardened snow?
Too bad.
Captain, I think maybe
he's saying, "Don't touch."
Maybe it's dangerous to touch it barehanded.
Hello there.
S-Sure
Say what?!
It's giving off a fog!
That's amazing, Boxxo!
Combined with my magic, we can
cover the entire marsh with fog.
Not bad, Boxxo! I knew
I picked the right magic item.
He's more useful than you are, Captain.
Captain, stop moping and give us orders.
Just go pick them off one by one.
Your useless captain's going to help
himself to sweetened tea while he watches.
Well, I'm going to go, but Boxxo
needs to keep dumping that stuff.
Will you be okay without me?
Hello there.
Go on, and be careful.
If it gets dangerous, come back right away.
Sure!
Okay, we'll be back!
Yep!
Well, the Menagerie of Fools
are a bunch of master hunters.
I'm sure they know when it's
too dangerous to stick around.
Boxxo, I want to talk to you for a bit.
Hello there.
I accepted this job straight
from the director.
But what he wanted me to do was go find out
why things are awry in Clearflow Lake stratum.
I don't think you know this, but each
stratum has a being called a "lord."
It will appear on rare occasions,
but nobody knows what triggers it.
It's been known to take years, even decades.
That must be the boss character, like you
often see on each level of a dungeon.
Looks like the director thinks these
disturbances might mean the revival of the lord.
Hello there.
You know, there's a rumor that if you defeat
a lord, you'll get a superb treasure.
Well, in any case, we're never going
to hit the jackpot on our first try.
What's this sound?
No way!
What's with this timing?!
The damn lord's here?!
Shit! There's even stratum split!
Stratum split?
I don't know what that is, but I can
tell something bad is happening!
Where's Lammis?!
She's just unconscious!
Hulemy, grab hold of my hand!
What about Boxxo?!
You're saying leave him here?!
Boxxo, what's the big idea?!
Sorry, Boxxo! We'll come back for you!
Get your damn hands off me!
Boxxo!
I look forward to your next use.
Okay.
Form change!
Hello there.
Hello there.
Hello there.
Raise durability by 100 to 200!
Raise toughness by 30 to 50!
Might not make much difference, though!
Points decreased by 1,000.
One thousand?!
That must mean, I use up a lot of points
when I get hit with an attack
stronger than the barrier.
If that hit me without the barrier,
there wouldn't be even a trace left!
Which makes it even more important
I don't let it go after the group!
I'll use the barrier to expel
these fried-chicken lunches!
Good, it took the bait!
In that case, here's a ton of them!
Deep-Fried Chicken
Hello there.
Okay.
So, this is its stomach.
My points are dropping in a hurry!
Which means I don't have much time.
So I'll start right in on being a pain!
Completely gets rid
of any and all stains
I'll use the barrier!
Look at 'em go.
I'll give your stomach a good cleanse!
That's having quite an effect.
But it'll only give it a stomachache!
It won't be enough to finish it off.
Now I'm a gas vending machine! You sometimes
see these around old inns and dorms.
I only have one goal for changing into this!
First, I'll fill the barrier with lots
of gas, then release it outside!
The problem is fire.
I'll change into the mode
where I warm up frozen food,
Imagawayaki
Yakisoba
then replenish an item into
my internal microwave!
Can I manage to put just one item
in there, like how I normally replenish?
This vending machine is my body.
I've been with it for months now!
I can handle this!
Please, work!
Good!
Now a towel and a newspaper, the same way!
Kokuuma Cream of Corn Soup
And now, the forbidden step!
Heating a can in a microwave!
Ten damage. Durability decreased by ten.
And then, I expel these
three items from the barrier!
I look forward to your next use.
Ow!
Where'd it go?!
Those look like the eight-legged
crocodile's bones.
Is this the superb treasure
Hulemy was talking about?
Might as well take—
W-W-Wait a minute!
Is this that "stratum split" thing?!
Hello!
Is anyone around with the Blessing of Might?!
Are there any customers strong enough to
easily carry around a vending machine?!
During this desperate situation,
an image came to mind
That of Lammis crying.

in there, like how I normally replenish?
This vending machine is my body.
I've been with it for months now!
I can handle this!
Please, work!
Good!
Now a towel and a newspaper, the same way!
Kokuuma Cream of Corn Soup
And now, the forbidden step!
Heating a can in a microwave!
Ten damage. Durability decreased by ten.
And then, I expel these
three items from the barrier!
I look forward to your next use.
Ow!
Where'd it go?!
Those look like the eight-legged
crocodile's bones.
Is this the superb treasure
Hulemy was talking about?
Might as well take—
W-W-Wait a minute!
Is this that "stratum split" thing?!
Hello!
Is anyone around with the Blessing of Might?!
Are there any customers strong enough to
easily carry around a vending machine?!
During this desperate situation,
an image came to mind
That of Lammis crying.
Next Time
The Voracious Devils
Thank you very much.
I look forward to your next use.
