Fans of the unique Isekai anime “Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon” were treated to the fourth episode of its second season on Wednesday, July 23, 2025. Titled “The Clergyman and the Vending Machine,” the episode primarily focuses on the efforts of Boxxo and his companions to secure resources and broaden their exploration beyond the Clear Lake Stratum of the dungeon.
Episode 4: Plot Developments and Strategic Decisions
The latest installment sees the narrative expanding beyond the familiar confines of the Clear Lake Stratum, offering viewers a glimpse into the wider world of the dungeon. A significant development involves Hulemy, who is now free to jury-rig the teleport gate, setting the stage for the group’s next move.
The Expedition to the Origin Floor
The characters make a strategic decision to venture to the Origin Floor. This choice is presented as logical for several reasons: its inhabitants are generally weaker, it provides a potential route to the surface, and it’s the destination of the Menagerie of Fools following earlier troubles. The village being secure allows Boxxo, Lammis, and Hulemy to embark on this expedition. Each member’s unique abilities are crucial for the mission’s success: Hulemy for two-way gate travel, Boxxo as a source of food and water, and Lammis for her exceptional physical strength. With Mishuel joining, the group is well-equipped for survival, even if the Origin Floor proves to be overrun.
Introducing Hevee: The Eccentric Clergyman
Episode 4 also serves to introduce a notable new supporting character, Hevee. Described as a priest with an unusual affinity for footwear, Hevee’s character offers a blend of humor and depth. While his obsession with shoes, which includes smelling and even drinking from them, is presented as a comedic quirk, his true value lies in his competence as a healer and his mastery of illusion and mind manipulation magic. These skills make him a valuable, albeit eccentric, addition to the cast, explaining why others tolerate his peculiarities.
