A contest involving magical items? How interesting. There was definitely some rivalries going up there.

It was an okay episode. We got the vending machine providing community service and nothing else too serious happened. Hulemy is also being featured more prominently in these recent episodes and shares a charming relationship with Lammis.

A dream about Boxxo? Lammis definitely feels lament that her backstory of her and Hulemy surviving a monster-wiped village where both lost their families, it's a sad past.

Suori's bodyguards coming to Boxxo and Hulemy for a request, it seems that this is converged out of secret. Them wanting Hulemy to readily accept her whims, the magic item engineer would not accept until she is heard, and her idea of rich rival merchants coming to have a magic contest, Suori has her eye on Kanashi, the one who she has a grudge with. She seems REALLY eager to win over Kanashi, and that not-so-children's conversation is the definition of vixens lols. The magic item appraisal rather...it's just child's play, until Kanashi's engineer comes out with a robot that bases its commands from its owner, though this raises Hulemy's red flags that something similar created a fiasco, and indeed it is by forcing a human soul into the robot puppet, which Hulemy manages to shut it down, though her name rings like the infamy it does of her young days. But yelp, Boxxo's forgotten lols.

Winter has come to the Clearflow Lake strata spectrum, though one restaurant from Munami's attempt to defend its position from a rival chain restaurant, and Boxxo is the main character in question. A request from the innkeeper for half the price for Lammis's stay, and it's pretty much the same merchant situation as before, though Boxxo's offerings are better than the restaurant. Though the innkeeper and others bring trial food items, Boxxo can't quite taste food, so Lammis and Hulemy's feedback are taken into account, and Boxxo just replicates the flavour...of simple Japanese food with seasonings. The attempt for the shopkeepers to scout customers right outside the restaurant brings competition...easy peasy competition that is rather suspicious of an early exit.

Captain Kerioyl wanting Lammis's inclusion into the Menagerie of Fools, she's still undecided as of yet. And Boxxo offering pink carnations as sympathy, she's all right as well,

A filler episode of sorts, though a rather experimental way of seeing what Boxxo can do.

Suori and Kanashi sound so ridiculous when they're talking lol
Flower vending machines... yep, they are a thing too. I wonder for how long do the flowers inside last.

Suori and Kanashi’s conversation together was quite funny with Boxxo’s reaction to it lol, and of course Kanashi’s engineer ended up making a killer robot with a human soul inside it, but thankfully Hulemy was there to quickly disable it, that robot was honestly pretty creepy too lol. And this happening pretty much meant Suori and Boxxo won by default, I’m glad Suori got one up on her rich rival lol.

And I also enjoyed the battle between the local restaurants and the new “Chains Restaurant” that recently opened up, I see what they did there lol. I liked the fact that they didn’t just sell Boxxo’s items, instead he gave out food to help Munami and the others try and replicate it, and it ended up being a success.

And ending on Boxxo becoming a flower vending machine to give Lammis a flower when she was feeling down was nice, Japan keeps surprising me with these different vending machines but at the same time I’m not surprised lol.

We get to learn more about Lammis past, and see Boxxo as a food adviser.
Cute scene at the end.

I'm more interested in the next episode name, the fighting vending machine. Can Boxxo fight on his own, or just give an energy drink which will boost the drinker's ability/status? I've to wait for the next week to find out.

Lol. I find it amusing that Hulemy and Boxxo are teaming up with Suori to confront her archrival Kanashi. The assortment of "magic items" did seem rather comical, except for Kanashi's eerie human automaton, which raised ethical concerns.

It's quite humorous how the major chain restaurant is simply named "Chains Restaurant," lacking creativity. Regardless, they're no match for Boxxo's vending machine meals!

The moment when Boxxo gave Lammis that flower was truly endearing. While I'm unsure about the Menagerie, I believe Lammis and Boxxo will thrive wherever they go, as long as they're together.

Another really good episode! Kind of felt like a filler SoL episode before we get back to more plot oriented stuff next week, but no complaints. A fun ride throughout for 25 minutes.

Highlight of the episode was definitely the Kanashi and Suori challenge. Kanashi sounds like anything but a child. That girl has some issues. In the end I’d say Suori won their little duel though lol. Forcing a spirit into a mechanical puppet is beyond cruel, luckily Hulemy was able to put him to rest.

Even in another world, local restaurants can’t escape the evil of chain restaurants coming in and putting them out of business. I like how they touched on the economic aspect of having a vending machine from another world. You’d have access to so much knowledge, and in this situation, it was put to good use allowing them to keep the local shop open. That’s the type of thing that really sells this series to me the post.

That fight scene was something else. Five of Suori's guards jobbed out to Frankenstein's robot, but Hulemy's coat was just too tempting of a distraction.
Speaking of Suori, it looks like she respects Hulemy a lot more than she respects Lammis.
Then we've got the competition against the Chains Restaurant and a cute moment with the flower machine.

I'm excited for Boxxo to see some more combat next week. Watching Boxxo use his vending machine powers in interesting ways is probably my favorite part of the show.

I am surprised the Chain Restaurant just gave up so easily. I expect them to do something Evil like poison the food of their competitors or hire thugs for whatever reason; I am surprised they never did that. I guess that they have a better work ethics than expected.

Not ironically, I'm liking this anime a lot, I'm surprised by the depth it gives to its characters and the construction of the world, which is slow but constant.

This episode is more relaxed than the rest, but it still served to see a bit of Lammys and what their motivation is to fight, plus it cements something for later.

Without a doubt this is THE Isekai of the season 🚬

"AH HA HA HA", them rich girl laughs... LOL

.

Also, lots of "magic items" seems to be "magician items" where their main purpose seems to be for comedy...

Tho interesting robot/golem/android, and then it went on a rampage, lol.

Tho... BOX didn't really do much this time huh... literally just a bystander this time...

.

But then we go into the next phase... where BOX's going to conquer the world through... FOOD.

And... "chain" issue huh... sounds like when all the "big chains" in RL took over all other smaller businesses.

IE: Super Markets, Amazon... LOL

Who here goes to small mom-n-pop local shopping store that isn't dead and only sell like 10% of stuff in super markets?

And how many people go around the entire city to try and find stuff to buy instead of using Amazon?

very little or none at all... that's how the "chains" are. (so while people criticize "chains" they themselves still use "chains")

.

However, Restaurants is a little different, since even with a "chain" you can't really monopolize "Food" to the point where everyone would just go to 1 or 2 chain restaurants. This is the reason why mom-n-pop restaurants still exists. Especially in Japan, mom-n-pop restaurants are a huge thing in Japan and they usually make as much money as chains do when compared by single store sales.

(imagine if there was a restaurant that sells every single possible food in one store (like Amazon)... it doesn't exists, since that would require the restaurant to be the size of an entire shopping mall to store enough cooking stations, lol, remember, there are over 150 countries in the world and each countries has thousand of unique local foods)

They killed a chain which was poised to drive a significant percentage of the village's residents out of business themselves and dominate the local economy with bland food. Good riddance.

And as a side benefit or bonus, food in this world got more flavorful and presumably more diverse and interesting. At least for the inhabitants of this stratum.

Wow, a lot happened in this episode. Seems Lammis and Hulemy had a very sad past, their parents died in a previous attack on the village they lived in.

A robot went rogue, that was funny to watch. And of course it tried to kill its creator, because why wouldn't it?

Boxxo is now responsible for putting a branch of a restaurant chain out of business by using his food as an example to improve the local's food.

Overall, a very good episode with good pacing too. Very much enjoyed it.

...wait thats the end of the episode? ok. only two parts this time, very weird. like a big filler episode.
It could be a coincidence but it seems there was a massive falloff at this ep, either a ton of people just lost interest or something.
The prefiew seems to hint that we might be getting more action next time
The funny thing is that it seems lamis is actually holding the flower in the ED

EDIT: apparently I didnt get the joke, chain restaurant, restaurant chain. Klarf
