Toya

Listen

This place is massive...
2

Akito

Listen

I mean, it's a place just for outdoor equipment. Hey, they even have river kayaks.
3

Toya

Listen

Going down a river does sound fun.
4

Akito

Listen

But a kayak's a bit out of your reach, right...?
5
Hmm... She said she'd be waiting by the central escalator, so she should be close...
6

Kohane

Listen

An! Over here!
7
Hey, Kohane, there you are!
Sorry for making you wait so long.
8

Kohane

Listen

No, that's okay!
I'm really excited since we don't get to go shopping together all that much.
9

Akito

Listen

Anyway, let's start finding what we need. You still need a sleeping bag, right, Toya?
10

Toya

Listen

Yes.
Something versatile if possible... Hm?
11

Toya

Listen

What in the world is this mat used for?
12
Oh, that's for putting under your sleeping bag. My dad bought some so we're all set there.
13

Toya

Listen

A mat for a sleeping bag?
I thought a tent and a sleeping bag were all you needed.
14
Even if you're in a tent, it gets pretty cold if you sleep on the ground, you know?
15

Toya

Listen

I see.
It'd be good to take some along considering how chilly it's been lately.
16

Toya

Listen

Hm? What are these? Cans or...?
17

Kohane

Listen

Oh, I think those are gas canisters...
18

Akito

Listen

Yeah, that's what you need for camping stoves. You can even use them to make coffee while climbing up mountains and stuff.
19

Toya

Listen

Freshly brewed coffee does sound nice... Being out in the wilderness may even make it taste just that much better.
20

Toya

Listen

But all this browsing may not be good for my wallet. Or can I find a way to work them into my budget...?
21

Toya

Listen

Hm? Oh, it's an instruction manual...
Ah, you use this to hang wet utensils and divide up smaller pieces of equipment.
22

Toya

Listen

And this ball... You can make ice cream just by putting ingredients into it and rolling it around?!
23

Akito

Listen

I'm glad you're having fun, but we don't have time to look at everything...
24

Kohane

Listen

Hehe. Like a kid in a candy store.
25
To be fair, it is fun to look around these kinds of shops.
26
Oh, Kohane, look! Isn't this lantern adorable? I think I'll get it...
27

Kohane

Listen

These cushions are cute too!
This one looks just like a log!
28

Akito

Listen

Hey, you guys, don't forget that we're going by train and bus. We can't take that much with us.
29
Yes, Mom!
30

Akito

Listen

Who're you calling Mom...?
31

Akito

Listen

But I kinda like how this chair's been designed.
32

Toya

Listen

This looks just like a tuning fork... Oh, it's a barbeque fork... And this cup doubles as a bowl...
33

Toya

Listen

I never knew that camping equipment could be so interesting...!

Toya

Listen

Phew...
35

Toya

Listen

(Tomorrow's finally the day when we go camping. But I need to be up early for it, so I should go to bed soon.)
36

Toya

Listen

(I've already packed everything I need in my backpack and set my alarm. All that's left is to sleep.)
37

Toya

Listen

...
38

Toya

Listen

(I can't fall asleep...)
39

Toya

Listen

(This is so strange.
I've never been so anxious and excited at the same time before.)
40

Toya

Listen

(I've always been able to focus and sleep on the eve of a big competition...)
41

Toya

Listen

(But something about this feels different.)
42

Toya

Listen

Oh, I see...
43

Toya

Listen

This is what people mean by being “excited for a field trip”.
44

Toya

Listen

Hehe...
This'll also be a good experience for me.

Toya

Listen

So...
46

Toya

Listen

So this is a campground...!
47
We made it!
48

Kohane

Listen

Whoa, this place is gorgeous...!
49
I know, right?! I don't see many other people here. It's like we found a hidden gem.
50
Thanks for telling us about this place, Akito!
51

Akito

Listen

Sure, but to be fair, my dad's the one who actually found this site.
52

Kohane

Listen

I'm glad we made it here on time too. It was so hard to tell how long the bus ride would be.
53

Akito

Listen

Yeah. Luckily, we don't have to deal with anyone who always oversleeps and runs late this time around.
54
Hehe!
Anyway, let's find a place to pitch our tents!
55

Toya

Listen

Yes, let's!
