**[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.
**[21:20] Shui**
She and Director Bear used to
go raiding in the labyrinth,
**[21:24] Shui**
