I Reincarnated Into a Vending Machine

When the light of the transfer circle disappeared, there was no doubt we were in the room where Clear Stream Level’s transfer circle was .
However, the door was thrown open, and there were traces of people stomping all over the floor . These are traces left by someone, and many of them, who came or went using this transfer circle .

“It seems there is no doubt that something strange has happened; we must hurry . ”

President Bear flew through the hallway, and everyone followed after him .
Previously the hallways had been well-maintained, but now there are a number of peoples’ footprints throughout . That must mean that there was no time to clean .
The hallways’ windows have a lattice to keep out invaders, but the lattices have countless scratches on them, and there are some that have been warped out of shape .

“It’s hot…”

Hyurumi has sweat beading on her forehead . If I look carefully, everyone except for the old couple and President Bear is sweating .
That’s right, Clear Stream Lake Level has four seasons, and right now is summer, huh? The windows are completely closed, so the temperature seems like it’s high . I can’t sense temperature, so I didn’t realize it at all .
When we ran through the hallway and threw open the door to the Hunters a.s.sociation hall, there were a large amount of people gathered .
The people turned frightened gazes towards us, who had thrown the door open with a large sound .
All of their faces had traces of weariness left behind, and it was obvious in an instant that the situation wasn’t normal . On top of the wind being unable to flow through, this heat saps away their strength unnecessarily .
There’s roughly, forty to fifty people? As for faces I recognize – .

“President! We have allowed monsters to invade in your absence, forgive us!”

One of the receptionists, wearing a tattered Hunters a.s.sociation staff uniform, broke into my field of vision as I was looking for people I knew .

“Please, explain what has happened . ”

“Y,yes . Four days ago, a monster swarm suddenly appeared outside the community, and they were able to easily invade despite any resistance . We have evacuated everyone to the Hunters a.s.sociation . ”

The Hunters a.s.sociation was originally built as a refuge, so it was a fortress prepared with durability and the ability to counterattack . If you hole up in here, you can withstand the attack . And in actuality, when the twin-snake demon attacked the Hunters a.s.sociation’s impregnable defense wasn’t penetrated and they were able to launch an offensive .

“However, due to the sudden increase of the population, the fact that the Hunters a.s.sociation is an evacuation refuge has not circulated among those except the residents from before, so many of the citizens did not come this way…”

As she spoke, the staff’s head dropped, her shoulders quivered, and she became unable to speak .
So then, the number of victims was … many . In the previous attacks, there were few citizens, and they were mostly people with an awareness of danger . And that was why, even though the community was destroyed to that degree, there wasn’t a single casualty .
However, this time it happened when the people had increased .

“I’m sure it’s painful, but continue your explanation . The most important thing right know is to understand the current situation . ”

President Bear is also feeling the pain, I’m sure . One of his hands is placed on the staff member’s shoulder, but the other is clenched tightly in a fist .

“M,my apologies . When we tried to use the transfer circle to send a message to President, who went to the Lamentations of the Dead Level, for some reason it didn’t activate, nor could we evacuate the citizens to other levels . We were somehow able to hold out, but frankly, if this continues any longer we won’t be able to hold out, everyone’s prepared themselves . ”

So it’s the absolute worst situation? There’s the regret of not being a little faster, but there’s also some relief that we made it before they were completely wiped out .

“Are these all the survivors?”

“No, the injured, women, and children are using the guest rooms and offices on the second floor . The number of the citizens who escaped are probably… a hundred in all, I think . All of the hunters are making use of the ballistae, long-range attacks, and magic from the second floor as a counterattack, and targeting the flying monsters . ”

“A hundred, I see… you’ve done well . Leave the rest to me and go rest . ”

When he said so, did the tension in her nerves disappear? the female staff worker collapsed on the spot and President Bear caught her .

“President, we’ll go help out on the second floor . Also, leave the confirmation of the situation and the surroundings to us . ”

“It’s the gatekeepers’ duty . ”

Without waiting for President Bear’s response, the two gatekeepers raced up to the second floor . The terrace on the floor above is a great place for counterattacks, so that’s probably where they’re headed .
Karios would probably give more priority to the safety of his girlfriend . Even so, he killed off his personal feelings and went to help the defenses .

“I will also go around to do the defenses . ”

Mishael also followed after them and went to the second floor .

“I will also go . Even though my magic has degraded, it might be useful . ”

“Grandfather, I will also go . They will need healing, right?”

“Grandfather, Grandmother, I’ll be no help, so I’ll go find your daughter and granddaughter . And Karios’ girlfriend, too . I’ll let you know once I find them, so … don’t die!”

Hyurumi called after the old couple, and they turned and bowed their heads deeply before disappearing towards the second floor .

“I,I’m going to also, the counterattack-”

“No, Ramis and Hakkon, will you distribute food and drinks for everyone? You can tell they haven’t had a good meal . For now, they need a good meal and a break . Will the two of you, please?”

“Welcome . ”

“U,un, I got it!”

No objections . Right now, Ramis should be wanting to find her closest friend on this level, the inn’s Munami . However, seeing Karios and the old couple suppress their own feelings and moved for the sake of everyone else made it hard to say .
With her inner conflict going on, even if she partic.i.p.ated in the battle, the possibility that she might get in the way is high . And Ramis and President Bear have to be close to their physical limits after all that . President Bear probably made such a request with that in mind .
This is as much as I can spend time thinking about it . I must perform the given duty quickly .
I really want to provide warmed up frozen dinners, but even though I’ve raised my dexterity so that it warms them up quickly, it will still take time .
Furthermore, the temperature within the room is much too high, so everyone must be very uncomfortable . With that said, let’s provide sports drinks, which would replenish better than water, tasty and nutritious on-the-go food .

I dropped product after product and used to stream them out . Then Ramis would carry the food that was lined up one-after-another in front of her . Some of the relatively more lively citizens also helped, so it was distributed well among the people in the hall .
In addition, I left twenty 2-litre bottles of ice-cold sports drink with them .

“Uwaa, this strange-tasting water, it’s cold and delicious!”

“Kuwaaaa, it’s spreading through my body . ”

“It’s reviving me . This strange food is also pretty tasty!”

Looks like it’s a big hit; everyone who had lost their sweat and stamina regained a little bit of their vitality .

Looks like it’s a big hit; everyone who had lost their sweat and stamina regained a little bit of their vitality .
And then, “Thanks, Hakkon!” “You’ve saved us!” “Thanks for the cold water!” person after person was giving us their thanks . For it to have made them that delighted, there’s no greater happiness for a vending machine .

“Next is the second floor, Hakkon . ”

“Welcome . ”

Hoisting me on her back also takes up time, so Ramis carried me to the second floor in her arms and placed me on one side of the hallway with doors lined up down it, then went to open the door in the far corner .

“Food and reinforcements have arrived . Please let me confirm the number of people . ”

So saying, Ramis poked her head in, confirmed the amount of people, then returned .
I’m not just s.p.a.cing out and doing nothing while waiting; I’m arranging chilled sports drinks and nutritional drinks, as well as jelly and nutritious food for the injured and starved in front of her .
Taking this was the right choice, na . is totally useful here . Even though it would be a minimal loss in time, it increases the efficiency .
When Ramis had opened one, two, three doors and checked inside, her movements stopped .

“, it’s the strong Oneechan! Where’s Grampa and Grandma?”

That voice is the old couple’s granddaughter . I’m pretty sure it’s May-chan?

“Ramis-san . Do you know anything about Dad and Mom?”

The daughter’s voice followed after . Alright, we’ve confirmed the safety of the old couple’s daughter and granddaughter . Our fears have decreased by one .
Ramis explained immediately, and after that, as if the two had regained their sense of rea.s.surance, I could hear their weeping voices saying, “Thank G.o.d, thank G.o.d…”
From then on, as Ramis opened doors and provided food, we confirmed the safety of the tool shop girl, Karios’ girlfriend, along the way .
Hyurumi, who had come up to the second floor before us, had been investigating from the opposite side, but when she realized we were here, she ran over .
“Ramis, how was your side?”

“We found Grandpa and Grandma’s  daughter and granddaughter, safe! Karios-san’s girlfriend is also healthy!”

“O-, for reals!? As for that side, of our acquaintances, there’s that high-handed blond girl and her servant . And then there’s the money changers that have helped Hakkon out . And… Munami is also safe . ”

“R,really!? Where, where is she!?”

“O-, for reals!? As for that side, of our acquaintances, there’s that high-handed blond girl and her servant . And then there’s the money changers that have helped Hakkon out . And… Munami is also safe . ”

“R,really!? Where, where is she!?”

Ramis drew close and Hyurumi, who bent backwards at her vigor, pointed her finger .

“Third room from the right . Munami’s also worried . Go show her your lively face . ”

“U,un, wait a second!”

In a blink of an eye she disappeared from view, and just when I heard the door open, “Munamiiiii! Thank goooooood,” a scream of delight echoed .

“Hakkon . I’m going to tell Gramps and the others that are fighting that everyone’s safe . You coming?”

“Welcome . ”

With my reply, I changed into the .
With this, it’s possible for even Hyurumi to carry me . I want to hurry and tell them that the three are alright, and it’s just perfect since I’m curious about how the battle’s going .
Ramis lifted me in both arms, as if embracing me, and opened the door to the second floor’s terrace .
There might be sudden, unexpected attacks, so let’s keep up .
A large gust of wind blew in, fluttering Hyurumi’s hair .
The scene that spread out before our eyes left me and Hyurumi speechless .

The neighborhoods where the reconstructions and debris removal were almost done, where new buildings were being put up, now they displayed a cruel figure .
Where there had been finished residences was nothing left but burnt out frames of buildings .
The corner that had luckily escaped the twin-snake demon’s attack was now only rubble .
The tent that had been spread out on the flattened ground was now just a tattered cloth, where monsters had stomped on it, I’d imagine .
There are plumes of fire in several places in the town, but there’s no longer anyone to put them out . But the surroundings are already burnt out, so there’s probably no way for the fires to spread within the community that’s already rubble .

“So you mean, this is the community we lived in-!?”

When I looked up at Hyurumi’s face, tears were spilling out and she was clenching her teeth .
Hyurumi, I feel the same way . But, right now we can’t stop our feet . There are things we have to do .

When the light of the transfer circle disappeared, there was no doubt we were in the room where Clear Stream Level’s transfer circle was However, the door was thrown open, and there were traces of people stomping all over the floor . These are traces left by someone, and many of them, who came or went using this transfer circle . “It seems there is no doubt that something strange has happened; we must hurry . ”.
