Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon (2023) s01e10 Episode Script
Gastric Measures
1
I'm thinking of holding an eating contest.
That's unreal!
An eating contest?!
Quiet, everyone.
The Chains Restaurant fake
Boxxo incident is settled,
and in two weeks' time, repairs to
the damaged wall will be complete.
Once safety is ensured, more and more
people are likely to come here.
And so
Under the guise of celebrating
the wall's completion,
I say the Restaurant Union
should hold an event!
Aha, which is why it's an eating contest.
Good idea! The hunters eat a huge amount.
If we have a prize for the winner,
it'll get people even more excited.
And if we charge admission,
we won't end up taking a loss.
We should serve the most
filling foods possible.
Then it will happen in two weeks.
We'll make leaflets and notices,
and really get into the spirit of things!
Yeah!
Was there any need for me to be here?
Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon
Gastric Measures
Boxxo, we want your help!
H-Hey, you're scaring Boxxo!
What do you want him to do?
I heard the eating contest
was coming together fine.
Yeah. I'm entering it, too.
Indeed.
People were entering. It was going well.
That is, until we learned
that they were entering.
They?
The banes of eating contests!
Shui the Inhaler and the
Band of Gluttons are competing!
Your appetite's incredible.
I'm just getting started.
The Band of Gluttons and
Shui herself are entering!
Their stomachs are not normal.
We're going way into the red now!
There's no way we can prepare enough food!
We came together and tried
so hard, but now it's all over!
In other words, do something about
those five bottomless pits?
You got anything, Boxxo?
Let's see, this is a sweet bubbly drink.
It can be quite filling.
Which means, if we provide this along
with the food, they'll eat less?
Hello there.
That makes sense.
But I wonder if the entrants will complain
about using this instead of water.
They will. I know I'd have trouble with it.
We could let them choose
between this and water.
Wouldn't that give the water
drinkers an advantage?
I like this stuff, though.
Let's do this, then.
Until the day of the contest, we'll advertise
this drink and sell it on the pricey side.
During the contest, we'll make it a selling
point that you can drink it for free.
That works.
That'll make 'em want to drink it.
Boxxo!
If you could offer this to us at a
reasonable price, we'd be immensely grateful!
Hello there.
Thank you, Boxxo.
If we run into any more
problems, will you help out?
Hello there.
Step right up!
Look at that crowd!
We need more meat!
There should be some they brought
back from that one campaign!
I won't try to find out
what kind of meat that is.
Ladies and gentlemen,
your wait is at an end!
We now present Clearflow Lake
stratum's first eating contest!
We got more entries than expected,
so those who got through the tryouts
will be divided into two blocks.
The five leaders of each
block will advance to the finals.
We have a superb prize prepared
for the champion, so best of luck!
Now, could all competitors in
block one please come onstage?
The time limit is when all the
sand in this hourglass runs out.
Whoever has finished eating everything at
that point will advance to the finals.
Oh, you have to eat quickly, too!
So, is everyone ready?
Eating contest, block one
Start!
Hot!
All done!
I'm finished, too!
Me, too!
Done here, too!
That's four all at once!
Who will take the last spot?
I am finished as well.
We have our qualifiers without
even reaching the time limit!
Damn!
That's it, huh?
Gocguy's the only human
amongst the five qualifiers!
Fear the Band of Gluttons.
You can feel free to take
any leftovers with you.
Moving on, block two competitors
will now take their places!
Shirley entered, too?
I would never picture her as a big eater.
And so, block two
Start!
That girl's too good at this.
That was great!
Is she really human?
I am finished eating as well.
I-I'm done eating!
It was good!
That's time!
We have all our final participants!
The finals will take place in two hours.
Until then, please enjoy a performance
by the theatrical troupe.
And food and drink is available
for purchase while you watch.
Oh!
You're watching the performance too, Boxxo?
Perfect. I could use a drink.
Let's see, today's program is
The Farm That Calls Happiness?
Never heard of it.
Oh, it's starting.
The program ends
It's like
That didn't go like I thought it would.
I never expected that twist.
Hey, Lammis. Aren't you entering the finals?
Oh, that's right!
Let's go, Boxxo!
Hello there.
You can do it!
And now, the eating contest finals!
Contestants, to the stage!
Huh? Music?
A new function I added at rank two!
I bet I can liven things up by using this!
Where are they playing?
Is everyone having a good time?!
Yeah!
Whoever eats the most within the
time limit is the champion!
Go for it, eat as much as you like!
Go for it, short-haired girl!
Don't lose this one, Band of Gluttons!
What're those?
They're huge!
Crepes, mercilessly stuffed with
apples and bananas and stuff!
I provided the fruit filling.
Oh, something sweet!
Looks super-delish!
We can have that, too?
That girl makes it look so tasty!
Now I'm hungry too, darn it!
Get a load of Suco, the sole
lady in the Band of Gluttons!
This is coming down to a
duel between her and Shui!
I ate it all!
You go, girl!
She beat the Band of Gluttons?!
Congrats!
Gocguy didn't stand out at all,
but he performed unexpectedly well.
First prize is the chance to make
free use of Boxxo for a day!
Pardon?
Please, Boxxo.
You did say you'd help out
if I ran into a problem.
Well, I did get to earn a lot with
the cola, and it's true that I promised.
If it's just one day, I guess I'll manage.
And that's why all day today,
Boxxo belongs to me!
Lucky you, Shui! I'm so jealous!
All you can eat and drink, huh?
Well done, Shui!
If it's just one day,
we could go monster hunting!
True, Captain. Or maybe
Captain, Vice Captain
Boxxo is mine. I'm not lending him out.
He and I are going on a date
at the Origin stratum!
Origin stratum?
I haven't been here in forever!
So many memories!
I come here fairly often.
You're taking him to the first stratum?
Well, if that's how it is,
I'll yield this time.
What did Captain Kerioyl mean by that?
Shui, where are we going?
Farther in.
Here we are.
I'm back, everyone!
It's Shui!
Welcome home!
Do you have presents?
Let's play, let's play!
Ma'am! Shui's come back!
Yes, yes. So I heard.
Welcome home, Shui.
Good to be back, Director.
Is that your friend behind you?
Something like that. We work together.
My name is Lammis.
You are welcome here. Let's go inside,
rather than stand around out here.
Yes, ma'am! I'd be happy to!
I think the floor might give way.
Too bad.
Guys, this box is a magic box.
If you want something, try pushing
where it sticks out.
Really?
I like this dark bubbly stuff.
What's this?! What's this?!
That's a snack.
It's nice and salty!
Me, too!
Push on it!
This is great!
So yummy!
Look!
Put me in a position like this,
and I have to give things out for free!
Any vending machine would!
Say what?
Here you go.
Thank you!
Now for this!
Here goes!
There!
Everyone, please put your wet clothes here.
Okay!
Wow, look at that!
It's washing them.
It can even do laundry?
Magic items these days sure are handy.
It'll be done soon, so let's all
get in the bath until then.
Aw
You'd better make it snappy
or the lick monster'll get ya!
Get back here!
There's no hot water in the bath!
Oh, my. Who was on bath duty today?
I'm sorry.
We were playing with Shui, and we forgot.
Thank you for being honest.
Everyone makes mistakes.
It's important not to cover them up,
but to admit them and learn from them.
Yes, ma'am.
But if we gather water now and heat it
with firewood, it will take too long.
Let's forego baths for the day.
Boxxo?
You've turned into another
shape I've never seen before.
My fourth form change for the day!
A hot spring vending machine!
Huh, what's this long thing?
Oh, wow!
It filled up so fast!
Boxxo's amazing!
I'm first in!
No fair!
Hey, no running!
Boxxo, thank you for everything.
Hello there.
I was concerned about Shui since
she's been so worried lately,
but the way she seems today is a relief.
Please look after her from now on.
Hello there.
Hey, look at all that!
Come on, you guys. You don't
have to wolf it down.
I want to try some!
I might as well provide some underwear,
t-shirts, and towels later.
Or am I just teaching them that
it's good to accept handouts?
I'm never sure how involved
to get at times like this.
Your lighting was flickering.
Were you having weird thoughts?
Great.
Apparently, I do that involuntarily
whenever I'm thinking about something.
You should have more confidence.
You're the one who's given them delicious
food and put smiles on their faces.
Lammis is amazing.
She understands what an inarticulate
vending machine is thinking
and expresses her concern.
I'm so glad it was Lammis
who first found me.
A cave where you can't see the sky
I think it'd be hard to
tell morning from night.
Boxxo, you did a lot of work today.
Everyone's delighted,
and I couldn't be more grateful.
Thank you very much.
Today must have been expensive for you.
I promise to make it up
to you. I just need some time.
Too bad.
Huh? You won't wait?
Too bad.
Thank you very much.
Um
Maybe that means I don't need to pay?
Hello there.
The bubbles!
Nice! I was just thinking
I could use one of these!
Don't chug it like that!
You might win an extra item!
O-Oh yeah.
Did you know this Origin stratum is a place
anyone who goes into the
dungeon is sure to visit?
Too bad.
Unless you enter this stratum first
and reach the transfer circle within,
you can't move to any other strata.
Well, if someone can't handle
traversing the Origin stratum,
they have no business moving
on to other strata.
Does that mean all the innkeepers,
merchants, et cetera made it through here?
There are lots of people left in this
stratum who, for whatever reason,
never made it to the transfer circle within.
This place is where children
who were abandoned here,
and who don't know the light of the
sun or the touch of the wind, gather.
My wish is for everyone here to be happy.
Wow, I've been a real blabbermouth today.
I'd like you to forget what I just said.
I'm turning in for the day.
Good night.
This the place?
Yeah, boss.
I heard there's an unusual magic item.
The first customers in a
while who're here for me.
I guess I got carried away,
given this place isn't exactly safe.
It really spits out unlimited food?
Saw it with my own eyes.
Now, what to do?
I could wake Lammis and
Shui up with a loud noise,
but there's a chance the children
would be exposed to danger.
Okay!
This week's vending machine surprise!
What's this smoke?
I heard a weird sound, too.
D-Do you hear water and wind howling?
Th-There're no rivers
or springs around here!
It's your imagination!
Finally, the barrier!
Ow!
We're gettin' out of here, dammit!
Wait for us, boss!
Too bad.
I look forward to your next use.
This sort of thing happened overnight?!
Those are former hunters who
set up a base near here.
Lapsing into criminal activity! Such bad boys.
Shui, I'm going out for a while.
Can I leave the children in your care?
Y-Yes, ma'am
I haven't seen her get
seriously mad in a while.
The director taught me archery,
and she used to be an expert hunter.
She and Director Bear used to
go raiding in the labyrinth,
and even Captain Kerioyl admits
she's better than him.
You don't say.
An hour later, the director
came back all smiles.
Where'd you go?
Welcome back!
Boxxo, they were more than
happy to listen to reason.
They'll never come meddle with you again.
I see there are no arrows
left in her quiver.
Thank you very much.
That's Shui's teacher for you.
I wonder if that means Shui will
one day become like the director.
What's up?
Too bad.
Next Time
The Dead's Lament Stratum
Thank you very much.
