I Reincarnated Into a Vending Machine

The logging and demon crusade went well, and by the time the sun came down, they had left the settlement, so they were to camp here.

Since there are also the faces of the big eaters at night, I decided that there was no problem in responding to the night raid.

Today, even after sundown, enemy attacks were intense, and it was after twenty-two o'clock that enemy attacks subsided, losing time to take meals.

"Hacko, ooh, ooh! I'm hungry, I can't move anymore!

"Me and me."

Shui and Pell are begging my body.

It's creepy that the three remaining members of the Great Eaters are drooling over their saliva.

"Ugh, Saami. It's cold in the woods."

Hulumi is holding her shoulder in the cold.

Cold winds occasionally blow inside the dark forest, so it seems common sense as a hunter hunting here to keep cold protection in place.

"We're not cold at all. I got this cloak from Hackon."

Ramis is wearing a vertical striped cape, smiling and showing off to Hulumi.

That's in the cape I was selling at the weapons store. I paid for it and I bought it and gave it to Ramis.

He didn't seem to wear it because it would get in the way during the fight, but he seemed to weave me feathers because it was getting cold.

"That's what you bought... Hackon, what about mine?

"We're here to see you again."

"Ha, ha, ha."

I gave you the tools before. Well, I'm just pretending to be obstinate, and I think it's more than half a joke.

"Yippee, or I want you to come back later. My stomach and back are stuck together and I'm evolving into a new creature."

I'd like to see that, but it looks like Shui is really close to the limit.

It's cold today, so the couple ramen would be delicious. Then as usual...... no, wait a minute. It's already past twenty-two and I haven't had a single form change today.

Has the time limit not decreased at all? Then let's make it a little hobby dinner.

I chose "Udon Vending Machine" from the Vending Machine Retro series.

Have you ever heard the word auto restaurant? Before I was still born, there was a time in the 1970s when restaurants served meals by vending machines were popular.

A vending machine-only restaurant that can be eaten at any time for twenty-four hours, built along the road and aimed at trucks and car drivers.

Then, when the video console began to spread and the game center appeared, a vending machine would be placed where cooked dishes would come out, and there was a huge boom.

But that didn't last long...... it is the presence of convenience stores.

By the eighties, convenience stores had grown everywhere, and the fact that they could be sold at any time for twenty-four hours allowed products to be purchased without the use of vending machines for sale, gradually disappearing.

A handful of vending machines are still maintained and in operation after nearly forty years, but they exist, treating them like sanctuaries among maniacs.

I've driven to eat a few times too.

Coincidentally, it was sometimes encountered in old hotels and game centers, and in that case it was up to me to take pictures and then buy them.

I am going to offer products sold on a number of such retro vending machines this time.

There were also two main manufacturers of Udon vending machines and I was not sure which one to use, but I was allowed to choose who I personally liked.

By the way, this obsession seems "incomprehensible" when you make a friend say it. It's interesting that there is a difference between the form and the method of cutting water.

The body becomes long and thin and part of the body is written 'udon' in a seemingly stained glass design. I can see that a vessel containing udon placed spirally in the body flowed down, and the hot water was poured and pressed against the top and cut off the water.

And when the stock was poured, the udon was finished.

A peek at how udon is made in your body is not exhaustive of vending machine profits. I had a good experience.

"Wow, that sounds different than the usual warm pasta! Something fat."

He receives hot meat udon by vessel, and Shui's eyes shine with curiosity.

Everyone in the back row seemed intrigued too, staring at her eating.

Without worrying about such an ambient gaze, I poked every meat udon with a fork I took out of my backpack and carried it to my mouth where the hot air stood.

"Ahhh, it's warm and tasty! Because the pasta is thick, it tastes good, and this soup is extraordinary. It doesn't taste like meat, it tastes strange."

Isn't kelp stock in this world? Besides, this flavour seems like a first experience because the ocean is not close enough to have any chance of eating sea delights.

She finished the meal quickly, but the speed and dexterity are increasing this way, so it's out of step compared to a regular vending machine. I had already given it to the four big eaters.

Shui is quickly lined up back again. My stomach would have swelled a little, so he would put up with me until the next order.

Shui was waiting again when he finished handing over the udon to everyone.

Looks like he's going to eat meat udon next time, but he won't. The next menu will be changed.

I made a change of form and now it's a Hamburger Vending Machine.

A painting of a grandfather with a hamburger in his hand, accumulating a fine white jawbeard, occupies the upper third of the fuselage.

And there are three buttons below, where you can choose simple burgers and cheeseburgers, etc. All the first one I found was a cheeseburger only, but it's also nice to have an atmosphere.

Sometimes the contents are handmade and replaced by the owners who now also install vending machines, and the flavors vary from place to place, which can be one of the pleasures.

"Oh, you're different again. Can you eat the same painting?"

Shui seemed interested and pressed the cheeseburger button at an unstoppable rate to his eyes.

I would need sixty seconds, but I can do it right away and it flows out to the extraction port.

"Well, you're smaller than I thought."

The painting seems a little disappointing with the smaller box coming out because it says it feels pretty big. Indeed, the size of the box is smaller than that of some famous burger shop.

However, after the price is affordable... I guess I'll find out when I open it.

Opening the box came out a burger wrapped in wrapper paper. When the paper is peeled off, it is quite thick and the cheese is melted in thick and tangled.

Yes, this burger is unexpectedly bulky vertically. Patties and vans are thick so they are actually good to eat and should not be judged by the size of the box.

Well, I can't say it all because this also varies from vending machine to vending machine. Choosing the best hit I've had before.

"Ugh, the gravy is overflowing! Yeah, you can do this too!

All right, this seems to be well received, too.

When I finished handing over the hamburger because the second tour of the big food troupe was already lined up, the others followed.

It's only natural to have Shui at the end of the line.

Why don't you do it today with a classic auto restaurant vending machine?

Now, if you're going on the King's Road, you're going to have toast wrapped in aluminum foil next, or some ramen with a mechanism similar to udon.

The good thing about this vending machine is that it is a vending machine but feels handmade. I can feel the difference between ready-made products with unified flavour.

Not that either is superior, but I take it personally that the goodness of this retro vending machine is the warmth of someone different from other products.

For forty years, it will be hard to keep running and maintenance. If you're thinking about that kind of hassle, it's easier to decide whether to replace it with a new vending machine or just dispose of it.

Even so, I couldn't wait to like such a retro vending machine, which I can taste including the kindness of those who keep using it and the wonderfulness of taking care of things.

"Wow, Hackon, this is so delicious. It's so pompous."

"Right. I liked the bread that pinched this meat."

A soothing conversation is playing while Ramis and Hulumi eat.

I envy that sight a little, only a little bit of this body I can't eat dinner with...... makes me resent it.

But when I was a vending machine maniac in my lifetime, I traveled all over the place by myself, buying products by myself and being satisfied. As a maniac, I am delighted to be able to appeal to the goodness of vending machines in this way.

I want others to know and understand what I thought was good. Everyone will have feelings.

This is how hobbies that my family and friends had frowned upon as wasteful in my lifetime serve people. If I say luxury, I will be punished.

Looking at the line that still seemed uninterrupted, he handed over one freshly made meal after another until he crossed the day.
