Hey, look!
There's a forest right just over that way!
Yes, it looks quite big and expansive.
We can leave our stuff here and go check it out. What do you guys think?
We could, but it might be better to get everything set up first before we go, you know?
Like our tents and a campfire...
Also, if we prep for dinner now, we can go on a nice, long walk through the woods!
Oh, you're right!
Let's do that.
Yeah, we'd have less to worry about later too.
Okay, let's start by pitching our tents.
Oh, how does this grove sound?
It's still pretty green even though it's winter.
Looks good.
Alright, let's claim this area.
Akito and I will pitch our tent here. Why don't you two pitch yours right next door, Azusawa, Shiraishi?
Okay!
Let's get right to it!
Um... We start by rolling out the tent, right?
Wait, were there always this many poles? Let's start with one and work our way up from there...
Hm? Doesn't this tent belong to your family, An? You've put it together before, right...?
Haha. Actually, my dad's the one who's good at this and usually just does it by himself in seconds. The last time I really did this was when I was little...
Have you ever done this before, Kohane?
Yeah, I went to this local summer camp one time when I was little, so I still sort of remember how to pitch a tent and build a campfire.
But I think I'm having trouble now because your tent seems a bit different from the ones we used...
Right... Well, let's just keep trying! I'm sure we'll figure something out!
Okay!
Alright, that should be every pole.
Mind sliding this one through, Toya?
Sure... So, like this...?
...!
It's really a tent now.
Whoa...!
But we're not done yet. It'll get blown away if we don't clamp it down with some stakes.
Right.
You mean these pegs, yes?
Yeah.
And those two seem to be having some trouble with their tent, so let's go help them once we're done here.
Okay.
Hm? Oh, it's getting windy...
C-Crap...!
Hey, the tent's floating...!
No, at this rate, your family's tent will...!
Wah...!
T-Toya?!
What happened?!
Sorry, I tripped over something.
I keep forgetting how many rocks there are out here...
Just be careful, alright?
More importantly, what happened to the tent?!
Oh, it landed in that clearing over there. Looks like we won't have to sleep outside after all.
Okay... Thank goodness...
You guys okay?!
Yeah, I think so.
Speaking of which, how are you two doing? Your tent was giving you both a lot of trouble based on what I saw.
W-Well...
It turns out for An's tent that you're supposed to follow a certain order when sticking poles in...
And she forgot to bring the instructions with her, so she's trying to remember each step as we go.
Going entirely on your memory seems challenging to say the least...
Yeah, especially for this one.
I still remember!
I'm just missing a few pieces is all...
Hold on. These kinds of tents usually have their model number printed on their tag. Why don't you use that to look up the instructions on your phone?
Hey, you're right!
The tag should be...
A tent like this should have its tag...
Yeah, right here.
Whoa, you found it so fast!
You're pretty good at this kind of stuff, huh, Akito?
Better at it than you to say the least.
Anyway, we gotta get a move on before it gets dark.
I know, but pitching a tent is turning out to be harder than I remember. Thank goodness I'm a better cook than you, Akito!
Nice comeback...
But you bring up a good point...
Should we pick out a leader for each part?
Leaders?
Yeah, so we know who to turn to if we have questions or run into trouble.
I could be in charge of pitching tents and you could be in charge of cooking, you know?
Oh, Kohane said that she knows how to build a campfire, so she can be in charge of that!
Yes, I see. Knowing who to turn to regarding each task would streamline things quite a bit.
But... What would I be in charge of...?
You're in charge of absorbing as much information as you can. I mean, you're here for the experience, right?
True...
Hey, we're all in this together, so turn that frown upside down!
Yeah, so let's wrap this up.
I'll read out the order, Toya, so can you line up the poles we need as I go?
Okay.
An, Kohane, you two are in charge of sticking them in. Once that's done, we can try standing it up together.
Okay!
Okay!
We did it...!
That was so much quicker when we all worked together!
That means our tent should be a cinch. Let's keep going while we still have momentum.
Okay!
*Yawn*...
There's nothing to do today...
I came all this way, but everyone's out singing somewhere else.
Oh, if you're that bored, why not help me clean the dishes?
Hmm... Maybe I am forgetting to do something...
Sure...
Always with the excuses.
Oh, that reminds me...
Aren't Toya and the others supposed to be going on their camping trip today?
I think I'll go pay them a visit!
