Lammis has a skill known as the Blessing of Might which makes her ridiculously strong, but is still a novice at managing her own strength. Stuck in the middle of the wilderness, he encounters Lammis, a young, busty hunter girl. He is also able to use some magical abilities, including a defensive force field. He is also able to use excess coins to add additional features to his vending machine body, and is able to choose which items he stocks or the prices of the items. As a vending machine, he discovers he can dispense any item he has bought in his previous life, and can convert such sales to points thus sustaining his existence. He can see and hear but is immobile, with his speech being limited to stock Japanese vending machine phrases, such as "Welcome" or "Too bad".
