Episode 10

Episode 10 is the tenth episode of the anime series.

Summary
The Restaurant Owners Union decide to hold an eating competition to attract people back to the village, which has finally been rebuilt. This backfires when Shui and the young gluttonous Bearcats enter the contest. Afraid for their profits, the Union begs Boxxo’s help, so he dispenses fizzy cola, which, if drunk by the contestants, will fill them faster and limit how much they can eat. After an intense multi-round contest of fried meats, cola, and fruit crepes, Shui defeats the Bearcats and receives free access to Boxxo for 24 hours. Kerioyl still hopes to use Boxxo, but Shui refuses to share him. With Lammis carrying Boxxo, Shui takes them to the Origin stratum that's closest to the surface, which houses an orphanage and uses her free 24 hours to feed, wash, clothe, and entertain the children. Shui explains the Origin stratum acts as a sort of test to allow access to lower stratums, meaning that it tends to collect people not strong enough to survive yet, like children whose parents died during the test. At night, bandits try to steal Boxxo’s items, but he takes their photos, then scares them away with mist, ice, and creepy music. The orphanage director, a retired hunter stronger than Kerioyl, later “takes care of ” the bandits to protect the children, scaring Boxxo a little.
