[00:02] Munami
    I'm thinking of holding an eating contest.
[00:05] shopkeeper
    That's unreal!
[00:07] shopkeeper
    An eating contest?!
[00:09] Munami
    Quiet, everyone.
[00:10] Munami
    The Chains Restaurant fake
    Boxxo incident is settled,
[00:14] Munami
    and in two weeks' time, repairs to
    the damaged wall will be complete.
[00:19] Munami
    Once safety is ensured, more and more
    people are likely to come here.
[00:24] Munami
    And so...
[00:26] Munami
    Under the guise of celebrating
    the wall's completion,
[00:29] Munami
    I say the Restaurant Union
    should hold an event!
[00:32] protagonist
    Aha, which is why it's an eating contest.
[00:35] shopkeeper B
    Good idea! The hunters eat a huge amount.
[00:39] shopkeeper A
    If we have a prize for the winner,
    it'll get people even more excited.
[00:43] shopkeeper F
    And if we charge admission,
    we won't end up taking a loss.
[00:47] shopkeeper C
    We should serve the most
    filling foods possible.
[00:50] Munami
    Then it will happen in two weeks.
[00:52] Munami
    We'll make leaflets and notices,
    and really get into the spirit of things!
[00:57] shopkeepers
    Yeah!
[01:00] protagonist
    Was there any need for me to be here?

[02:36] shopkeeper E
    Boxxo, we want your help!
[02:39] Lammis
    H-Hey, you're scaring Boxxo!
[02:42] Hulemy
    What do you want him to do?
[02:44] Hulemy
    I heard the eating contest
    was coming together fine.
[02:47] Lammis
    Yeah. I'm entering it, too.
[02:49] Munami
    Indeed.
[02:51] Munami
    People were entering. It was going well.
[02:54] Munami
    That is, until we learned
    that they were entering.
[02:57] Lammis
    They?
[02:58] Munami
    The banes of eating contests!
[03:00] Munami
    Shui the Inhaler and the
    Band of Gluttons are competing!
[03:06] (Flashback) Lammis
    Your appetite's incredible.
[03:08] (Flashback) Shui
    I'm just getting started.
[03:12] protagonist
    The Band of Gluttons and
    Shui herself are entering!
[03:16] protagonist
    Their stomachs are not normal.
[03:20] shopkeeper A
    We're going way into the red now!
[03:23] shopkeeper B
    There's no way we can prepare enough food!
[03:25] shopkeeper C
    We came together and tried
    so hard, but now it's all over!
[03:30] Hulemy
    In other words, do something about
    those five bottomless pits?
[03:34] Lammis
    You got anything, Boxxo?
[03:44] Lammis
    Let's see, this is a sweet bubbly drink.
[03:48] Hulemy
    It can be quite filling.
[03:50] Hulemy
    Which means, if we provide this along
    with the food, they'll eat less?
[03:56] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[03:58] shopkeeper E
    That makes sense.
[03:59] Lammis
    But I wonder if the entrants will complain
    about using this instead of water.
[04:04] Hulemy
    They will. I know I'd have trouble with it.
[04:07] shopkeeper A
    We could let them choose
    between this and water.
[04:10] shopkeeper B
    Wouldn't that give the water
    drinkers an advantage?
[04:13] shopkeeper F
    I like this stuff, though.
[04:16] shopkeeper E
    Let's do this, then.
[04:17] shopkeeper E
    Until the day of the contest, we'll advertise
     this drink and sell it on the pricey side.
[04:23] shopkeeper E
    During the contest, we'll make it a selling
    point that you can drink it for free.
[04:26] shopkeeper A
    That works.
[04:27] shopkeeper B
    That'll make 'em want to drink it.
[04:33] shopkeepers
    Boxxo!
[04:34] shopkeeper E
    If you could offer this to us at a
    reasonable price, we'd be immensely grateful!
[04:39] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[04:42] Munami
    Thank you, Boxxo.
[04:45] Munami
    If we run into any more
    problems, will you help out?
[04:48] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[04:52] someone
    Step right up!
[04:57] protagonist
    Look at that crowd!
[04:59] cook A
    We need more meat!
[05:00] cook B
    There should be some they brought
    back from that one campaign!
[05:04] protagonist
    I won't try to find out
    what kind of meat that is.
[05:08] Munami
    Ladies and gentlemen,
    your wait is at an end!
[05:11] Munami
    We now present Clearflow Lake
    stratum's first eating contest!
[05:19] Munami
    We got more entries than expected,
[05:21] Munami
    so those who got through the tryouts
    will be divided into two blocks.
[05:26] Munami
    The five leaders of each
    block will advance to the finals.
[05:30] Munami
    We have a superb prize prepared
    for the champion, so best of luck!
[05:37] Munami
    Now, could all competitors in
    block one please come onstage?
[05:47] Munami
    The time limit is when all the
    sand in this hourglass runs out.
[05:51] Munami
    Whoever has finished eating everything at
    that point will advance to the finals.
[05:55] protagonist
    Oh, you have to eat quickly, too!
[05:57] Munami
    So, is everyone ready?
[06:00] Munami
    Eating contest, block one...
[06:03] Munami
    Start!
[06:12] contest man A
    Hot!
[06:19] Pell
    All done!
[06:21] Mikenne
    I'm finished, too!
[06:22] Suco
    Me, too!
[06:24] Short
    Done here, too!
[06:27] Munami
    That's four all at once!
[06:29] Munami
    Who will take the last spot?
[06:32] Gocguy
    I am finished as well.
[06:34] Munami
    We have our qualifiers without
    even reaching the time limit!
[06:38] Karios
    Damn!
[06:39] Gorth
    That's it, huh?
[06:41] protagonist
    Gocguy's the only human
    amongst the five qualifiers!
[06:46] protagonist
    Fear the Band of Gluttons.
[06:48] Munami
    You can feel free to take
    any leftovers with you.
[06:51] Munami
    Moving on, block two competitors
    will now take their places!
[07:06] protagonist
    Shirley entered, too?
[07:08] protagonist
    I would never picture her as a big eater.
[07:11] Munami
    And so, block two...
[07:13] Munami
    Start!
[07:34] spectator A
    That girl's too good at this.
[07:37] Shui
    That was great!
[07:42] spectator B
    Is she really human?
[07:51] Acowi
    I am finished eating as well.
[07:54] Lammis
    I-I'm done eating!
[07:56] Lammis
    It was good!
[08:01] Munami
    That's time!
[08:02] Munami
    We have all our final participants!
[08:06] Munami
    The finals will take place in two hours.
[08:09] Munami
    Until then, please enjoy a performance
    by the theatrical troupe.
[08:12] Munami
    And food and drink is available
    for purchase while you watch.
[08:21] Karios
    Oh!
[08:23] Karios
    You're watching the performance too, Boxxo?
[08:25] Karios
    Perfect. I could use a drink.
[08:27] Lammis
    Let's see, today's program is...
[08:30] Hulemy
    The Farm That Calls Happiness?
[08:32] Hulemy
    Never heard of it.
[08:34] Hulemy
    Oh, it's starting.
SIGN    The program ends
[08:42] Karios
    It's like...
[08:44] Gorth
    That didn't go like I thought it would.
[08:47] Hulemy
    I never expected that twist.
[08:49] Hulemy
    Hey, Lammis. Aren't you entering the finals?
[08:52] Lammis
    Oh, that's right!
[08:53] Lammis
    Let's go, Boxxo!
[08:55] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[08:57] Hulemy
    You can do it!
[09:00] Munami
    And now, the eating contest finals!
[09:04] Munami
    Contestants, to the stage!
[09:09] Munami
    Huh? Music?
[09:11] protagonist
    A new function I added at rank two!
[09:14] protagonist
    I bet I can liven things up by using this!
[09:17] spectator
    Where are they playing?
[09:19] Munami
    Is everyone having a good time?!
[09:23] spectators
    Yeah!
[09:25] Munami
    Whoever eats the most within the
    time limit is the champion!
[09:29] Munami
    Go for it, eat as much as you like!
[09:37] spectator
    Go for it, short-haired girl!
[09:39] spectator
    Don't lose this one, Band of Gluttons!
[09:44] spectator
    What're those?
[09:46] spectator
    They're huge!
[09:47] protagonist
    Crepes, mercilessly stuffed with
    apples and bananas and stuff!
[09:51] protagonist
    I provided the fruit filling.
[09:56] Lammis
    Oh, something sweet!
[09:58] Lammis
    Looks super-delish!
[09:59] Acowi
    We can have that, too?
[10:06] spectator A
    That girl makes it look so tasty!
[10:09] spectator B
    Now I'm hungry too, darn it!
[10:19] protagonist
    Get a load of Suco, the sole
    lady in the Band of Gluttons!
[10:23] protagonist
    This is coming down to a
    duel between her and Shui!
[10:36] Shui
    I ate it all!
[10:38] spectator A
    You go, girl!
[10:40] spectator B
    She beat the Band of Gluttons?!
[10:42] spectator C
    Congrats!
[10:48] protagonist
    Gocguy didn't stand out at all,
    but he performed unexpectedly well.
[11:00] Munami
    First prize is the chance to make
    free use of Boxxo for a day!
[11:08] protagonist
    Pardon?
[11:08] Munami
    Please, Boxxo.
[11:10] Munami
    You did say you'd help out
    if I ran into a problem.
[11:15] protagonist
    Well, I did get to earn a lot with
    the cola, and it's true that I promised.
[11:20] protagonist
    If it's just one day, I guess I'll manage.
[11:24] Shui
    And that's why all day today,
    Boxxo belongs to me!
[11:30] Shiro
    Lucky you, Shui! I'm so jealous!
[11:33] Aka
    All you can eat and drink, huh?
[11:35] Kerioyl
    Well done, Shui!
[11:38] Kerioyl
    If it's just one day,
    we could go monster hunting!
[11:41] Filmina
    True, Captain. Or maybe...
[11:45] Shui
    Captain, Vice Captain...
[11:47] Shui
    Boxxo is mine. I'm not lending him out.
[11:51] Shui
    He and I are going on a date
    at the Origin stratum!
[11:55] protagonist
    Origin stratum?
[12:01] Lammis
    I haven't been here in forever!
     So many memories!
[12:04] Shui
    I come here fairly often.
[12:08] (Flashback) Kerioyl
    You're taking him to the first stratum?
[12:11] (Flashback) Kerioyl
    Well, if that's how it is,
    I'll yield this time.
[12:16] protagonist
    What did Captain Kerioyl mean by that?
[12:20] Lammis
    Shui, where are we going?
[12:22] Shui
    Farther in.
[12:30] Shui
    Here we are.
[12:32] Shui
    I'm back, everyone!
[12:35] child A
    It's Shui!
[12:38] child B
    Welcome home!
[12:39] child C
    Do you have presents?
[12:40] child D
    Let's play, let's play!
[12:40] child E
    Ma'am! Shui's come back!
[12:42] director
    Yes, yes. So I heard.
[12:46] director
    Welcome home, Shui.
[12:48] Shui
    Good to be back, Director.
[12:51] director
    Is that your friend behind you?
[12:53] Shui
    Something like that. We work together.
[12:56] Lammis
    My name is Lammis.
[12:59] director
    You are welcome here. Let's go inside,
     rather than stand around out here.
[13:05] Lammis
    Yes, ma'am! I'd be happy to!
[13:09] Lammis
    I think the floor might give way.
[13:11] Boxxo
    Too bad.
[13:15] Shui
    Guys, this box is a magic box.
[13:19] Shui
    If you want something, try pushing
     where it sticks out.
[13:22] child A
    Really?
[13:24] Shui
    I like this dark bubbly stuff.
[13:27] child B
    What's this?! What's this?!
[13:29] Shui
    That's a snack.
[13:31] Shui
    It's nice and salty!
[13:40] child
    Me, too!
[13:40] child
    Push on it!
[13:41] child
    This is great!
[13:44] child
    So yummy!
[13:48] child
    Look!
[13:49] protagonist
    Put me in a position like this,
    and I have to give things out for free!

[13:54] protagonist
    Any vending machine would!
[13:57] child C
    Say what?
[14:09] Lammis
    Here you go.
[14:10] child B
    Thank you!
[14:14] protagonist
    Now for this!
[14:17] Lammis
    Here goes!
[14:19] Lammis
    There!
[14:23] director
    Everyone, please put your wet clothes here.
[14:27] children
    Okay!
[14:29] child C
    Wow, look at that!
[14:31] child D
    It's washing them.
[14:33] director
    It can even do laundry?
[14:36] director
    Magic items these days sure are handy.
[14:39] Shui
    It'll be done soon, so let's all
    get in the bath until then.
[14:43] child C/D
    Aw...
[14:44] Shui
    You'd better make it snappy...
[14:47] Shui
    or the lick monster'll get ya!
[14:49] Shui
    Get back here!
[14:53] child E
    There's no hot water in the bath!
[14:56] director
    Oh, my. Who was on bath duty today?
[15:02] child F
    I'm sorry.
[15:04] child G
    We were playing with Shui, and we forgot.
[15:07] director
    Thank you for being honest.
[15:11] director
    Everyone makes mistakes.
[15:14] director
    It's important not to cover them up,
    but to admit them and learn from them.
[15:19] child F/G
    Yes, ma'am.
[15:21] director
    But if we gather water now and heat it
    with firewood, it will take too long.
[15:27] director
    Let's forego baths for the day.
[15:31] Lammis
    Boxxo?
[15:33] Lammis
    You've turned into another
    shape I've never seen before.
[15:36] protagonist
    My fourth form change for the day!
[15:38] protagonist
    A hot spring vending machine!
[15:41] Lammis
    Huh, what's this long thing?
[15:45] child A
    Oh, wow!
[15:47] child F
    It filled up so fast!
[15:50] child G
    Boxxo's amazing!
[15:52] child C
    I'm first in!
[15:54] child D
    No fair!
[15:57] child E
    Hey, no running!
[16:15] director
    Boxxo, thank you for everything.
[16:19] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[16:20] director
    I was concerned about Shui since
    she's been so worried lately,
[16:26] director
    but the way she seems today is a relief.
[16:29] director
    Please look after her from now on.
[16:33] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[16:34] child
    Hey, look at all that!
[16:37] Shui
    Come on, you guys. You don't
    have to wolf it down.
[16:41] child
    I want to try some!
[16:43] protagonist
    I might as well provide some underwear,
    t-shirts, and towels later.
[16:47] protagonist
    Or am I just teaching them that
    it's good to accept handouts?
[16:52] protagonist
    I'm never sure how involved
    to get at times like this.
[16:57] Lammis
    Your lighting was flickering.
[17:00] Lammis
    Were you having weird thoughts?
[17:03] protagonist
    Great.
[17:04] protagonist
    Apparently, I do that involuntarily
    whenever I'm thinking about something.
[17:08] Lammis
    You should have more confidence.
[17:11] Lammis
    You're the one who's given them delicious
    food and put smiles on their faces.
[17:17] protagonist
    Lammis is amazing.
[17:20] protagonist
    She understands what an inarticulate
    vending machine is thinking
[17:23] protagonist
    and expresses her concern.
[17:26] protagonist
    I'm so glad it was Lammis
    who first found me.
[17:36] protagonist
    A cave where you can't see the sky...
[17:39] protagonist
    I think it'd be hard to
    tell morning from night.
[17:43] Shui
    Boxxo, you did a lot of work today.
[17:47] Shui
    Everyone's delighted,
    and I couldn't be more grateful.
[17:49] Boxxo
    Thank you very much.
[17:52] Shui
    Today must have been expensive for you.
[17:55] Shui
    I promise to make it up
    to you. I just need some time.
[18:00] Boxxo
    Too bad.
[18:01] Shui
    Huh? You won't wait?
[18:03] Boxxo
    Too bad.
[18:04] Boxxo
    Thank you very much.
[18:06] Shui
    Um...
[18:08] Shui
    Maybe that means I don't need to pay?
[18:11] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[18:16] Shui
    The bubbles!
[18:18] Shui
    Nice! I was just thinking
    I could use one of these!
[18:22] protagonist
    Don't chug it like that!
[18:26] Boxxo
    You might win an extra item!
[18:29] Shui
    O-Oh yeah.
[18:30] Shui
    Did you know this Origin stratum is a place
[18:34] Shui
    anyone who goes into the
    dungeon is sure to visit?
[18:37] Boxxo
    Too bad.
[18:38] Shui
    Unless you enter this stratum first
    and reach the transfer circle within,
[18:43] Shui
    you can't move to any other strata.
[18:46] Shui
    Well, if someone can't handle
    traversing the Origin stratum,
[18:50] Shui
    they have no business moving
    on to other strata.
[18:54] protagonist
    Does that mean all the innkeepers,
    merchants, et cetera made it through here?
[18:59] Shui
    There are lots of people left in this
    stratum who, for whatever reason,
[19:04] Shui
    never made it to the transfer circle within.
[19:07] Shui
    This place is where children
    who were abandoned here,
[19:10] Shui
    and who don't know the light of the
    sun or the touch of the wind, gather.
[19:17] Shui
    My wish is for everyone here to be happy.
[19:21] Shui
    Wow, I've been a real blabbermouth today.
[19:25] Shui
    I'd like you to forget what I just said.
[19:27] Shui
    I'm turning in for the day.
[19:29] Shui
    Good night.
[19:35] boss
    This the place?
[19:37] flunky A
    Yeah, boss.
[19:39] flunky B
    I heard there's an unusual magic item.
[19:42] protagonist
    The first customers in a
    while who're here for me.

[19:45] protagonist
    I guess I got carried away,
    given this place isn't exactly safe.
[19:49] boss
    It really spits out unlimited food?
[19:52] flunky A
    Saw it with my own eyes.
[19:55] protagonist
    Now, what to do?
[19:57] protagonist
    I could wake Lammis and
    Shui up with a loud noise,
[20:00] protagonist
    but there's a chance the children
    would be exposed to danger.
[20:04] protagonist
    Okay!
[20:05] protagonist
    This week's vending machine surprise!
[20:09] flunky B
    What's this smoke?
[20:12] flunky C
    I heard a weird sound, too.
[20:16] flunky A
    D-Do you hear water and wind howling?
[20:20] boss
    Th-There're no rivers
    or springs around here!
[20:23] boss
    It's your imagination!
[20:26] protagonist
    Finally, the barrier!
[20:29] flunky A
    Ow!
[20:30] boss
    We're gettin' out of here, dammit!
[20:34] flunky A
    Wait for us, boss!
[20:37] Boxxo
    Too bad.
[20:39] Boxxo
    I look forward to your next use.
[20:45] Lammis
    This sort of thing happened overnight?!
[20:47] Shui
    Those are former hunters who
    set up a base near here.
[20:52] director
    Lapsing into criminal activity! Such bad boys.
[20:59] director
    Shui, I'm going out for a while.
[21:02] director
    Can I leave the children in your care?
[21:05] Shui
    Y-Yes, ma'am...
[21:11] Shui
    I haven't seen her get
    seriously mad in a while.
[21:15] Shui
    The director taught me archery,
    and she used to be an expert hunter.

    She and Director Bear used to
    go raiding in the labyrinth,
[21:24] Shui
    and even Captain Kerioyl admits
    she's better than him.
[21:27] Lammis
    You don't say.

    An hour later, the director
    came back all smiles.
[21:32] child
    Where'd you go?
[21:34] child
    Welcome back!
[21:35] director
    Boxxo, they were more than
    happy to listen to reason.
[21:41] director
    They'll never come meddle with you again.
[21:44] protagonist
    I see there are no arrows
    left in her quiver.
[21:49] Boxxo
    Thank you very much.
[21:51] protagonist
    That's Shui's teacher for you.
[21:53] protagonist
    I wonder if that means Shui will
    one day become like the director.
[22:00] Shui
    What's up?
[22:01] Boxxo
    Too bad.
