Miku
Is there something going on next week?
Saki
It's a school tradition that's meant to give girls in the same year to get to know each other a little better.
Saki
We all get to stay in this seaside lodge, go swimming, make curry together and stuff!
Saki
On the last day, we're supposed to put on a show where each of our groups are gonna do some kind of performance.
Miku
Oh, that sounds like a lot of fun!
Saki
I missed out on all the overnight school events during junior high, so this is sort of a first for me. I'm sooo excited to go♪
Shiho
You have? I feel like which groups we get assigned to is gonna have a huge effect on what happens...
Honami
Hehe. More specifically, it's supposed to foster a sense of camaraderie and community...
Saki
I have!
I've got sunscreen, towels and... Oh, it wasn't in the handbook, but bug spray just in case!

Saki
We also need to bring enough money for souvenirs and snacks to eat in our room at the lodge!
Saki
Heh heh heh! I have that covered! I just need to take them out of their boxes and put them into their own baggies!
Miku
You really want to bring them along, huh?
Shiho
But we'll probably have to bring our own toothbrush, toothpaste and stuff like that.
Honami
Oh, also... The seniors in the Cleanup Committee said that we should take a sweater or a jacket with us.
Ichika
Yes, it does. But I think I'll take something just in case. I'd hate to catch a cold while we're there.
Honami
Oh, I almost forgot. They also recommended that we bring separate beach and bath towels.
Honami
The school has laundry machines on-site, but the seniors said that the dryer was out of order when they went.
Miku
Oh, that sounds awful...
Saki
Wait, that means the last time I swam was in one of those really shallow kiddie pools!
Ichika
Oh, you might be right. I also remember how you weren't always allowed to go in the water.
Miku
And you'll be swimming in the ocean, right? Won't the water be too choppy for you, Saki?
Honami
There will be waves, but I doubt we'll be doing any long-distance swimming. I'm sure you'll be okay.
Miku
Have your groups not been decided yet?
Miku
I'm looking forward to hearing all about it.
