Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon Season 3 Episode 4: The Troubles Will Continue Forever

After their perilous sea voyage, Lammis and Pity reunite with Boxxo on a serene tropical beach. Lammis expresses her joy with a crushing hug, which Boxxo endures, then charms her with a bouquet of roses. He also dispenses gacha toys for Pity, solidifying their bond. The group reflects on their journey, establishing Boxxo as a protector and friend before they head to re-join their guild.

At a strategy meeting, the Bear Chairman outlines a plan to destroy a Netherworld base at Inui-Iwayama. Simrai expresses concern about a colossal stone beast guarding the location. Simrai and Munami reveal their desperation to cure their son's curse, believing this mission might hold the key. Boxxo, moved by their plight, displays a video of Lammis and the son, bolstering everyone's resolve and reminding them of what they fight for.

Hyurumi, the guild's scout, interrupts the meeting with dire news: the enemy base is gone, but the stone beast itself, Inui-Iwayama, is now mobile and heading directly for them. An emergency siren blares, confirming the threat as a massive shape appears on the horizon. The Bear Chairman orders an immediate evacuation to the Clear Lake Level, as civilians scramble in terror, preparing for an unavoidable confrontation.

The colossal canine stone beast emerges from the sea, creating massive tidal waves. Simrai steps forward, using his war fan to conjure an immense wall of rock and soil, holding back the creature at immense personal cost. Behind this temporary barrier, the group realizes internal attacks are impossible due to the beast's acid. Hulemy suggests freezing, and Boxxo quickly devises a plan for an external, coordinated strike.

Boxxo transforms into a balloon-equipped vending machine, with Pity assisting him. Lammis offers a worried farewell as they ascend into the sky. Hovering above the beast, Boxxo drops heavy concrete slabs onto its legs, causing it to stagger. He then delivers the decisive blow by dropping Hulemy's magical freezing tools onto its back, flash-freezing the monster into a massive, immobile ice statue.

Boxxo returns to ground amidst cheers, but the outpost is in ruins. The Bear Chairman confirms the successful evacuation to Clear Lake Level, a new home for the displaced. Boxxo feels a pang of sadness for the lost history but is reassured by Lammis that home is wherever they are together. He soon launches a 'New Level Sale' in the bustling settlement, offering discounted essentials and becoming a beloved community pillar.

As the Clear Lake Level develops, Boxxo becomes a fixture of its social scene, even helping a nervous werewolf select chocolates for a club patron. He observes the town's nightlife, including a high-end lounge managed by Shirley, who gives him a friendly wink. Later, Gorus, a formidable but bashful knight, approaches Boxxo in distress, confessing his deep crush on Shirley and asking Boxxo to learn what she truly desires. Boxxo accepts the mission, surprised by the knight's vulnerability.

Lammis and Hulemy assist Boxxo in his investigation, following Shirley to a modest, run-down house, far from the luxury they expected. They spot three suspicious men in trench coats lurking nearby, raising Boxxo's concerns about her safety. Before the men can breach her wall, Suco, the guild's cat-girl scout, intervenes with fierce hissing, scaring them off. The next morning, Shirley leaves her home in casual, worn clothing, heading toward the town's outskirts, compelling the group to continue their discreet watch.

Shirley's true destination is a remote orphanage on the edge of a forest, where a group of happy children rush out to greet her as 'big sister.' The observing group watches as Shirley transforms into a maternal figure, handing out treats and showering affection. They realize her glamorous lounge persona is a facade, a means to earn enough money to single-handedly support the home for displaced children. Boxxo and his friends are filled with profound respect for her noble, hidden life.

Feeling guilty, Lammis and the others reveal themselves and apologize for their covert observation. Shirley, understanding, invites them to help with chores and play. Boxxo transforms into a festive food machine, providing endless snacks and treats for an impromptu orphanage party. Lammis and Suco play with the children, while Boxxo becomes the center of attention. Shirley watches with a grateful smile, sharing her past as an orphan and explaining her commitment to giving back, earning the group's deep admiration and promises of support.

That night, Boxxo meets with Gorus and shows him the footage from the orphanage. Gorus is profoundly moved by Shirley's selfless dedication, realizing his initial romantic feelings were shallow compared to her true character. He decides that such a woman deserves more than a suitor; she needs a protector. Gorus vows to silently watch over the orphanage and Shirley, prioritizing their happiness over his own desires, a decision Boxxo respects deeply.

A few nights later, Shirley leaves the lounge, telling Boxxo that her persistent 'stalkers' have disappeared, mentioning a 'guardian angel.' Boxxo sees Gorus standing watch nearby, upholding his promise of protection. Later, Gorus finally gathers the courage to approach Shirley. She warmly invites him to share a late-night drink, and Boxxo provides them with lemon sours. The episode ends as Shirley and Gorus share a quiet, peaceful moment, laughing together, their relationship blooming on a foundation of mutual respect and understanding.
