[00:02] protagonist
    Such pleasant weather.
[00:08] protagonist
    Are those just animals? Not monsters?
[00:11] protagonist
    Talk about cute.
[00:13] protagonist
    I mean, hey!
[00:15] protagonist
    This is no time for taking it easy.
[00:19] protagonist
    I've been rattling around on this
    cart for about eight hours.
[00:22] protagonist
    Where the heck are these guys taking me?

SIGN    Boxxo Is Abducted
[01:58] (Flashback) villain A
    The director has hired us to reinforce
    the village walls, starting today.
[02:03] (Flashback) villain A
    Therefore, he wants you to set
    up shop there for a while.
[02:08] protagonist
    Oh, he does?
[02:10] protagonist
    Huh?
[02:11] protagonist
    That's the guy who tried to steal
    money from me during the campaign!
[02:17] protagonist
    Has he reformed and started
    doing honest work?
[02:20] protagonist
    Well, it's at Director Bear's request.
    It should be fine.
[02:23] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[02:25] (Flashback) villain A
    That means "yes," as I recall.
[02:27] (Flashback) villain A
    We shall carry you there, then.
[02:30] (Flashback) villains
    Oof!
[02:31] (Flashback) villain C
    Be careful not to drop him.
[02:33] (Flashback) villain A
    Yeah!
[02:37] (Flashback) boss
    Okay, we're good.
[02:38] (Flashback) Gugoyle
    Yes, sir!
[02:41] protagonist
    That was me eight hours ago.
[02:45] protagonist
    It's a little late, but I now realize
    I should've been a bit more suspicious.
[02:49] protagonist
    Still, how far are they going to travel?
[02:52] protagonist
    Might as well be safe and check my points.
SIGN    <Function> Keep Cold • Keep Warm
     Blessing • Barrier
[02:57] protagonist
    I could use my barrier, but it
    wouldn't even last three hours.
[03:01] protagonist
    This makes me wish I had pulled the plug
[03:03] protagonist
    whenever I got carried away
    over having plenty of points.
[03:06] boss
    Stop the cart. Time for a break.
[03:10] villain A
    Man, I'm beat.
[03:11] villain C
    I'm gonna go take a leak.
[03:13] villain B
    Me, too.
SIGN    Megumi Natural Water
[03:17] protagonist
    I'll go ahead and record the perps'
    faces with my security camera.
[03:25] Gugoyle
    Long time no see, Boxxo.
[03:29] protagonist
    The small-time crook.
[03:30] protagonist
    I was a fool for thinking you'd reformed.
[03:33] Gugoyle
    You understand the situation you're in, right?
[03:36] Gugoyle
    Now hurry and make with the food and drink!
[03:38] Gugoyle
    Even an iron box must know what'll
    happen if it doesn't cooperate.
[03:45] Boxxo
    Too bad.
[03:46] Gugoyle
    You wanna play games, huh?!
[03:49] guide
    One damage. Durability decreased by one.
[03:52] boss
    Stop that.
[03:54] boss
    We're after the money inside it, but this
    thing itself should be worth something.
[03:58] boss
    Try to avoid damaging it.
[04:00] Gugoyle
    Y-Yes, sir!
[04:01] Gugoyle
    Sorry, boss.
[04:03] boss
    And you don't want to get busted up, do you?
[04:05] boss
    I think it'd be wise to do as you're told.
[04:08] Boxxo
    You-he-ad-too bad.
[04:12] boss
    Sounds like you don't
    understand your situation.
[04:16] boss
    Hey, isn't it supposed to be able
    to fix any damage it takes?
[04:20] Gugoyle
    Yes, sir! It got pretty dented
    up during the campaign,
[04:24] Gugoyle
    but now it's perfectly back to normal.
[04:27] boss
    Then use some physical persuasion.
    Just don't break it.
[04:30] Gugoyle
    Understood! Hey, let's go to town!
[04:34] Gugoyle
    Not too clever now, are ya?!
[04:37] guide
    Three damage. Durability decreased by three.
[04:40] guide
    Four damage. Durability decreased by four.
[04:41] protagonist
    This isn't all that much damage,
    but I hate to stand here and take it.
[04:45] guide
    Two damage. Durability decreased by two.
[04:45] protagonist
    It'd be nice if my body
    was a little sturdier.

    That didn't happen before.
[05:01] guide
    Damage taken: zero.
[05:03] protagonist
    Good, now I'm no longer taking damage.
[05:05] boss
    We'll stop there for now.
[05:08] Gugoyle
    Y-Yes,sir.
[05:10] boss
    Hey, it hasn't repaired itself!
[05:12] Gugoyle
    No way! I'm sure it did before!
[05:15] Gugoyle
    Get on with the repairs, you!
[05:17] boss
    Gugoyle.
[05:18] boss
    You know what'll happen
    if it's broken, right?
[05:22] Gugoyle
    H-Hey, you stupid box! I know you're
    just pretending you can't—
[05:25] Gugoyle
    S-See, it's fine! It's not broken!

    What's this?
[05:31] villain A
    Well, we'll drink it and find out.

[05:40] protagonist
    How do you like the taste of one
    of my official bottom ten juices?!
[05:46] boss
    You guys, lug this inside and
    have our guest check it out.
[05:49] Gugoyle
    But boss, I doubt they're going
    to do what we tell them!
[05:53] boss
    If they don't, that's when
    your heads are coming off.
[05:57] Gugoyle
    C-Consider it done!
[06:00] protagonist
    Who the heck are they talking about?
[06:05] villain B
    The boss really is a slave driver.
[06:08] villain C
    Yeah, you said it.
[06:13] Gugoyle
    Hey, we brought you a toy you're
    sure to like, so look into it.
[06:17] Hulemy
    Huh?! Who the hell you
    think you're talking to?!
[06:19] protagonist
    Talk about forceful! Sounds like a woman, too.
[06:20] Hulemy
    You ain't shit! You don't give people orders!
[06:24] Gugoyle
    H-Here's the documentation on this thing!
[06:27] Gugoyle
    Give it a good read!
[06:28] Hulemy
    Say what?!
[06:34] Hulemy
    Didn't your mama teach you to look people
    in the eye when you talk to them?
[06:40] Hulemy
    Or are you scared
[06:42] Hulemy
    of a feeble little girl like me?
[06:44] Gugoyle
    J-Just figure this thing out!
[06:47] Hulemy
    The only thing you're any
    good at is running away.
[06:54] Hulemy
    Is it true you're a magic
    item with a mind of its own?
[06:57] protagonist
    I wonder if I should answer truthfully.
[07:00] Hulemy
    Oh, sorry. It'd be polite if
    I introduced myself first.
[07:04] Hulemy
    My name is Hulemy.
[07:07] protagonist
    I've heard that name somewhere.
[07:09] Hulemy
    I may not look it, but I'm sort
    of a famous magic item engineer.
[07:13] Hulemy
    Looks like they kidnapped
    me so I could study you.
[07:16] protagonist
    Oh! She's the one Lammis wanted me to meet!
[07:19] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[07:21] Hulemy
    Whoa, you really can talk!
[07:23] Hulemy
    I've never seen a magic item that
    talks and understands language!
[07:27] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[07:29] Hulemy
    Let's see.
[07:31] Hulemy
    It says here that means "yes."
[07:34] Hulemy
    Even with my limited engineering knowledge,
[07:37] Hulemy
    I've experimented with endowing magic
    items with human intelligence.
[07:41] Hulemy
    But I concluded it's impossible
    using current technology.
[07:45] Hulemy
    So then, I tried changing
    my way of thinking.
SIGN    Kocha Kadan
SIGN    Early Afternoon Tea
[07:48] Hulemy
    Instead of giving a magic
    item human intelligence,
[07:51] Hulemy
    maybe I could put a human soul inside one!
[07:55] protagonist
    Wow! She came up with that idea on her own?
[07:58] Hulemy
    Sorry, I don't usually get that worked up.
[08:02] Hulemy
    I'll drink some water or something.
[08:11] Hulemy
    I can have this?
[08:13] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[08:14] Hulemy
    I'll help myself, then.
[08:17] Hulemy
    How do you open it?
[08:19] Hulemy
    Oh, like this.
[08:21] Hulemy
    That's great!
[08:22] protagonist
    Yup.
[08:23] Hulemy
    My exhausted mind needed this sugar!
[08:26] Hulemy
    And it's just the right warmth.
[08:29] Hulemy
    You know your stuff.
[08:32] protagonist
    Her image becomes totally
    different when she smiles!
[08:34] protagonist
    Like that of an innocent girl.
[08:39] Hulemy
    So, your name is Boxxo?
[08:42] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[08:43] Hulemy
    Huh. Don't tell me you're a magic
    item with somebody's soul inside?
[08:49] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[08:51] Hulemy
    I thought so!
[08:52] Hulemy
    Okay, I'm going to keep on talking.
    You let me have it if I'm wrong.
[08:56] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[08:58] Hulemy
    Boxxo, you're a magic item who has a master.
[09:01] Boxxo
    Too bad.
[09:02] Hulemy
    Oh, you don't have one?
[09:04] Hulemy
    Well, do you have any memory
    of when you were human?
[09:07] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[09:08] Hulemy
    Huh, how about that?
[09:10] Hulemy
    Okay. Magic items aren't supposed
    to require money in the first place,
[09:14] Hulemy
    so why do you have prices set?
[09:17] Hulemy
    Do you need it for replenishing
    your inventory?
[09:20] Boxxo
    Hello there. Too bad.
[09:23] Hulemy
    So I wasn't totally mistaken?
[09:26] Hulemy
    And that means you can use
    money for something else?
[09:30] Boxxo
    Hello there. Hello there.
[09:32] protagonist
    I think it'd be quicker
    just to show her this.
[09:37] Hulemy
    What?
[09:38] Hulemy
    Your whole damn shape changed!
[09:42] Hulemy
    Looks like the goods you're
    selling are different too.
[09:45] protagonist
    This would make me feel weird
    if I wasn't a vending machine.
[09:49] Hulemy
    I get it! By using the money you make,
[09:52] Hulemy
    it becomes possible to
    change your functions!
[09:54] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[09:55] Hulemy
    That's wild! Is there
    anything else you can do?
[10:01] Hulemy
    What's this?
[10:06] Hulemy
    Looks like a wall.
[10:07] Hulemy
    Pretty strong one, too.
[10:10] protagonist
    Now for a little surprise.
[10:16] Hulemy
    A solid wall where you can
    control what goes in or out...
[10:19] Hulemy
    This is a barrier, isn't it?!
[10:21] Hulemy
    Impressive, Boxxo!
[10:22] Hulemy
    Not only do you have lots of functions,
    you can even use a blessing!
[10:25] Hulemy
    You're beyond a magic item!
[10:31] protagonist
    I appreciate the compliment,
[10:33] protagonist
    but all I did was receive an
    outstanding vending machine body.
[10:37] protagonist
    The thing to really be
    proud of is her intellect.
[10:40] protagonist
    Because she's figuring all
    this out by herself.
[10:53] protagonist
    I wonder if everyone's noticed
    by now that I'm gone.
[10:57] protagonist
    I just hope Lammis isn't so worried
    that she does something rash.
[11:02] villain B
    Huh? Has its damage been fixed?
[11:06] Gugoyle
    Never mind that.
[11:08] Gugoyle
    Looks like she's asleep.
[11:09] villain A
    Damn smart-ass girl.
    Let's teach her a good lesson.
[11:13] protagonist
    Attacking while she's asleep? Those cowards.
[11:15] protagonist
    Fine, I know how to stop this.
[11:20] villain B
    Wh-What?! It changed shape!
[11:35] villain
    Oh wow!
[11:40] Gugoyle
    Hey, there's something I need to do.
[11:42] Gugoyle
    I'm going back to my room.
[11:43] villain A
    And my stomach hurts,
    so I'm off to the toilet!
[11:45] villain B
    I'm kinda tired now, myself.
[11:49] protagonist
    I'm glad that worked,
    but those guys are so trashy.
[11:59] villain C
    Hey, food time! I'll leave it here.
[12:01] Boxxo
    Too bad.
[12:02] villain C
    Man, what's with this thing?
[12:08] Hulemy
    If food's here, that means it's morning.
[12:12] Hulemy
    'Sup, Boxxo.
[12:13] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[12:20] Hulemy
    Can't they manage anything better than this?
[12:25] Hulemy
    Sorry.
[12:26] Hulemy
    I've been so wary of them slipping
    something weird into the food,
[12:29] Hulemy
    I've hardly eaten a thing.
[12:33] Hulemy
    What's up, Boxxo?
[12:35] Hulemy
    Your goods changed again.
SIGN    Anpan
[12:40] Hulemy
    This is bread!
[12:42] Hulemy
    Am I glad to see this!
[12:45] Hulemy
    It's great! And it's soft and fluffy!
[12:50] Hulemy
    With all this tasty stuff, you'll put
    all the restaurants out of business!
SIGN    Oden
SIGN    Gutenburger
[12:56] Hulemy
    I'm stuffed. That was great!
[13:00] Hulemy
    You want something?
[13:02] boss
    Have you figured out
    anything about that box?
[13:05] Hulemy
    Huh?! Why should I take orders from you?
[13:10] boss
    I'm not the patient type.
[13:12] boss
    You've got two days to figure out this
    box and get the money out of it.
[13:17] boss
    You hear?
[13:20] protagonist
    We only have two days.
[13:22] protagonist
    Got to figure out a way to escape by then.
[13:48] protagonist
    You know, Hulemy's hair is a mess.
[13:51] protagonist
    But there's no bath here.
[13:54] protagonist
    I know!
[13:57] Hulemy
    You're giving me something else?
[13:59] Hulemy
    But thanks to you, I'm not hungry or thirsty.
[14:06] Hulemy
    Water? But it feels too warm to drink.
[14:16] Boxxo
    He-ad-look forward to your next use.
[14:19] Hulemy
    Head?
[14:20] Hulemy
    Are you telling me to
    wash my hair with this?
[14:26] Hulemy
    Come to think of it, I haven't washed my hair
[14:29] Hulemy
    or my body since they locked me up in here.
[14:40] protagonist
    I've been hoping to
    facilitate this situation.
[14:43] protagonist
    Reincarnation is so worth a try.
[14:45] protagonist
    Oh, I want to stress that I only bought
    women's undergarments by mistake.
[14:50] protagonist
    Just so we're clear!
[14:53] Hulemy
    Now I'm all clean!
[14:55] Hulemy
    Thank, Boxxo.
[14:56] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[14:58] protagonist
    But the time limit is up tomorrow morning.
[15:01] protagonist
    What do we do?
[15:02] protagonist
    Do I attract their attention
    while she sneaks away?
[15:06] protagonist
    Or else...
[15:07] Hulemy
    Boxxo.
[15:10] Hulemy
    Is it cool if we talk
    about something serious?
[15:13] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[15:15] Hulemy
    If you're thinking of sacrificing yourself
    so I can get away, forget about it.
[15:20] Hulemy
    There are hordes of monsters in these parts.
[15:22] Hulemy
    You think I can survive in a place like
    that with my lack of fighting ability?
[15:27] Boxxo
    Too bad.
[15:28] Hulemy
    That's right! That's why
    escaping won't help me.
[15:31] Hulemy
    We'll just have to put up with
    this and wait for our chance.
[15:34] Hulemy
    Besides, I'm not all that scared of dying.
[15:38] Hulemy
    Maybe it's more accurate to say
    I'm numb to that sort of feeling.
[15:43] protagonist
    What's up? She must have some
    circumstances she can't tell anyone.
[15:50] Hulemy
    I feel tired.
[15:53] Hulemy
    So I'm going to bed.
[15:55] Hulemy
    Good night.
[15:56] Boxxo
    I look forward to your next use.
[16:04] protagonist
    Wow, she has a talent for
    falling asleep quickly.
[16:19] villain E
    Hey, what's that sound?!
[16:21] villain D
    Someone's launched an attack!
[16:23] protagonist
    This means they're under attack?!
[16:25] protagonist
    I've got to hurry and wake Hulemy!
[16:27] Boxxo
    You might win an extra item!
[16:29] Boxxo
    You might win an extra item!
[16:31] Boxxo
    You might win an extra item!
[16:32] Hulemy
    What is it?
[16:34] Hulemy
    What's up, Boxxo?
[16:38] Hulemy
    I don't know what's going on,
    but this might be our chance.
[16:41] Lammis
    Boxxo!
[16:42] protagonist
    That voice!
[16:45] Lammis
    Boxxo! Where are you?!
[16:48] protagonist
    It's Lammis's voice!
[16:50] Hulemy
    Lammis? What's she doing here?
[16:52] Hulemy
    Does this mean the Hunters
    Association made a move?
[16:55] Hulemy
    And she was calling your name, Boxxo.
[16:57] Hulemy
    Do you two know each other?
[16:59] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[17:00] Hulemy
    Okay then!
[17:02] Hulemy
    If her group is here, we'll be fine.
[17:04] Hulemy
    Let's just stay here,
    so we don't get in the way.
[17:08] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[17:09] Hulemy
    Ayoomp.
[17:11] Hulemy
    Boxxo, help me out if it comes down to it.
[17:14] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[17:15] protagonist
    You can count on me! I know
    I can protect people!
[17:19] Hulemy
    Then again, we might be in some trouble.
[17:22] Boxxo
    Too bad.
[17:23] Hulemy
    There's a storehouse above us,
[17:25] Hulemy
    and the gold coins they've
    stolen are hoarded there.
[17:28] Hulemy
    But that's not all.
    They're also hoarding blastite.
[17:32] protagonist
    In other words, there's a bomb
    planted above our heads.
[17:37] protagonist
    That's just stupid!
[17:51] Hulemy
    You saved us, Boxxo. You sure are a capable guy.
[17:56] Hulemy
    Can you maintain this barrier indefinitely?
[17:59] Boxxo
    Too bad.
[18:00] Hulemy
    Oh.
[18:02] protagonist
    We're going to get crushed at some point.
[18:04] protagonist
    I can probably manage if I up my toughness.
[18:07] protagonist
    But if I forsake her, I'll regret
    it for the rest of my life!
[18:12] protagonist
    I can't afford to give up yet.
[18:14] protagonist
    There must be some way!
[18:17] Hulemy
    Hey, Boxxo. Tell me, do you need
    money to keep your blessing going?
[18:21] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[18:23] Hulemy
    Take a look at that.
[18:26] protagonist
    That's...
[18:27] Hulemy
    You see it? It's a bag filled with money.
[18:29] protagonist
    I'll let that into the barrier.
[18:36] Hulemy
    Good, now I'll buy whatever
    I want with this money!
[18:56] protagonist
    If we can hold out for three days,
    Lammis will likely dig us out.
[19:00] protagonist
    All that's left to do is wait.
[19:07] protagonist
    What's wrong? She was fine until a—
[19:09] Hulemy
    My head hurts...
[19:12] protagonist
    What am I, an idiot?! She's suffocating!
[19:15] protagonist
    The air's getting thin because
    we're sealed in here!
[19:18] protagonist
    What do I do?! I'm running out of time!
[19:22] protagonist
    I know!
[19:30] Hulemy
    What's that?
[19:34] Hulemy
    You telling me... to put it over my mouth?
[19:37] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[19:43] protagonist
    Never have I been so glad to
    be a vending machine nut.
[19:47] protagonist
    This oxygen vending machine
    came out around 1965,
[19:50] protagonist
    when air pollution was becoming an issue.
[19:55] Hulemy
    Thank you, Boxxo.
[19:57] Hulemy
    If you were a man in the flesh,
    I'm not sure I could resist.
[20:02] protagonist
    V-Vending machine or not,
[20:04] protagonist
    hearing you say that makes my heart...
    I mean, my equipment, pound!
[20:08] Lammis
    Boxxo, where are you?! Answer me!
[20:12] protagonist
    That voice!
[20:14] Hulemy
    Lammis is calling you. Go on, answer her.
[20:17] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[20:18] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[20:18] Lammis
    Boxxo? Are you in there?!
[20:20] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[20:21] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[20:22] Boxxo
    Hello there.
[20:24] Lammis
    Boxxo! Boxxo!
[20:26] Lammis
    Box—
[20:29] guide
    25 damage. Durability decreased by 25.
[20:35] protagonist
    That did more damage than I expected.
[20:40] Lammis
    I'm so sorry! This happened
    because I took my eyes off you!
[20:44] Boxxo
    Thank you very much.
[20:46] protagonist
    You keep crying, but I have
    no arms to hold you,
[20:49] protagonist
    nor a mouth to speak words of comfort.
[20:51] protagonist
    But I'm happy to see you again, Lammis.
[20:58] Filmina
    It's unusual for you to help with a job
    that doesn't pay anything, Captain.
[21:03] Kerioyl
    Come on. I'm always kind to
    others as well as myself.
[21:08] Filmina
    More like, if you get
    Boxxo to owe you a favor,
[21:12] Filmina
    it will become easier to persuade him.
[21:14] Filmina
    That's your dirty—
[21:15] Filmina
    your sensible approach.
[21:19] Kerioyl
    We have a goal to accomplish.
[21:21] Kerioyl
    For that, we've got to be
    willing to use any means.
[21:26] Kerioyl
    Boxxo is absolutely vital for making the
    Menagerie of Fools' wish come true.
[21:34] Hulemy
    Lammis, it's about time you let go.
[21:37] Hulemy
    Boxxo's body is wailing.
[21:39] Lammis
    No! If I let go, he'll go off somewhere again!
[21:43] Lammis
    Wait, what?!
[21:44] Lammis
    Hulemy, why're you here?!
[21:46] Hulemy
    You only just now noticed?
[21:49] Hulemy
    You really do have blinders on.
[21:53] Hulemy
    Well, thank goodness we managed
    to get out of there, Boxxo.
[22:01] Hulemy
    Aw, I wasn't trying to get you to do that.
