Whoa! This is awesome!

We're not even at the top and you can see all those mountains way over there!

Yeah, it's so beautiful...!

Oh, wait. I should take some pictures too. They could come in handy when I draw later.

What's this? Ena's not immediately going for some selfies? Interesting...!

*Sigh*... It's not like that's the only thing I ever think about, you know?

Hey, I'm getting pretty hungry. Why don't we have lunch here and enjoy the view? I made enough food for all of us.

Oh, me too! I'm starving!

Hehe. Everything Airi makes is so good too. I'm excited to see what she brought today.

Wow...!

This looks amazing!

I made most of it last night and tried to include something that everyone likes.

Yeah, it looks delicious! Let's dig in♪

Oh, perfect! French fries!

Ena told me that you like them a lot, Mizuki. I made them a little well-done to keep them from getting too soggy!

Wait, but this one tastes like...

Fried tofu skins. You requested them, Shizuku, so I decided to make some. I wrapped them around some pieces of chicken.

*Nom*...

Oh, it's delicious...! You're such a good cook, Airi!

And I made some cheesecake for you, Ena. This one has a lemony zest to it.

Yay! I still can't help but think your cheesecake is store bought, you know?

Mmm! Everything's so good!

You're awesome, Airi! You go to school while being an idol and you make amazing food?!

Oh, this is nothing.

As for being an idol, we support each member as a team, and everyone's been a huge help so far.

Yeah, I get that. Also, what was your group called again? MORE MORE JUMP!?

Yup. We mainly make videos and do livestreams.

Speaking of which, I saw one of your streams the other day. You guys were doing dance practice and stuff...

You did?! Thank you so much!

But we had to try so many times to get it right. I doubt it was very interesting from your point of view...

Yeah, you kept messing up in the beginning, but it was also pretty heartwarming in the end...

Huh?

No matter how many times you failed, Shizuku, you kept trying and got it perfect in the end, right?

After I saw you do that, I felt like trying a little harder myself...

Ena, I don't know what to say...

Thank you...

Good for you, Shizuku!

I'm sure Ena's not alone either.

Right!

Hehe. I feel like I've taken a step towards becoming an idol who delivers hope...

An idol who delivers hope, huh...?

Is something wrong?

No, I just thought that's pretty incredible is all. I wouldn't even know where to start if I decided to try giving someone hope...

But you two make songs together, right? Isn't that another way to do just that?

You think so?

It'd be nice if that were true...

Mizuki...?

Is something the matter, Mizuki?

Uh, no! It's nothing! Anyways, Airi, can I have some more of those french fries?

Yeah, go for it. I'm glad you like them so much.

Yay! Thanks!

(Was Mizuki about to just...?)

...

Thanks for the food!

That was so good, Airi! I'm stuffed!

You're very welcome.

You guys didn't leave even a single crumb, so it was worth the effort.

Now, we should probably get going soon...

Hm? There's quite a few people gathered over there. I wonder what's going on?

Register here for the Green Adventure! Please make sure to fill out the necessary forms if you wish to participate!

The Green Adventure?

Oh, it's the game where you guess the names of plants and rivers while you're hiking.

Huh? How did you know that?

One of the guides that I saw after we got off the bus told me. Anyone can join as long as they register for it. Wanna give it a try?

Oh, me! Let's go!

Are you sure? There could be a bunch of bugs over that way, you know...?

Then how about Mizuki and Airi go join them, while Ena and I have a look around here...?

Sounds like a plan!

Wait, but Mizuki's...

Airi may just be able to get something out of Mizuki. How about we leave her to it just for now?

Shizuku...

Alright, we're gonna go for a perfect score! Ready, Mizuki?!

Yeah!

Let's hurry and get registered, Airi!

Whoa...!

It's so green and beautiful...!

Almost like an open-world RPG!

That sounds like exactly something you'd say, Nene.

Anyways, that should be enough stretching for now. How about we start with a little jog?

There's even a trail running course over there too. Let's go take a look.

Huh? This is all we're doing?

It seems too normal, you know...?

Oh, you'll need to wear this while you run...

What is this, chainmail?!

It's so heavy...!

It's a weighted jacket, but I also added quite a few features to make sure it's safe to use. Unfortunately, it ended up weighing more than I expected.

You'll also need to put on these knee braces, as well as this helmet. It should fit right over your cap...

Wait, what?! All of these...?!

Ah, perfect!

I-It feels so clunky... You turned me into a robot, Rui...

Now, let's start running!

Try your best, Nene!

I'll be right there with you!

Hnng...! It's... So... Heavy...!
