An
Hey, look!
There's a forest right just over that way!
There's a forest right just over that way!
Toya
Yes, it looks quite big and expansive.
Kohane
We can leave our stuff here and go check it out. What do you guys think?
An
We could, but it might be better to get everything set up first before we go, you know?
An
Like our tents and a campfire...
Also, if we prep for dinner now, we can go on a nice, long walk through the woods!

Kohane
Oh, you're right!
Let's do that.
Let's do that.
Akito
Yeah, we'd have less to worry about later too.
Toya
Okay, let's start by pitching our tents.
An
Oh, how does this grove sound?
It's still pretty green even though it's winter.

Akito
Looks good.
Alright, let's claim this area.
Alright, let's claim this area.
Toya
Akito and I will pitch our tent here. Why don't you two pitch yours right next door, Azusawa, Shiraishi?
An
Okay!
Let's get right to it!
Let's get right to it!
Kohane
Um... We start by rolling out the tent, right?
An
Wait, were there always this many poles? Let's start with one and work our way up from there...
Kohane
Hm? Doesn't this tent belong to your family, An? You've put it together before, right...?
An
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...
An
Have you ever done this before, Kohane?
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.
Kohane
But I think I'm having trouble now because your tent seems a bit different from the ones we used...
An
Right... Well, let's just keep trying! I'm sure we'll figure something out!
Kohane
Okay!
Akito
Alright, that should be every pole.
Mind sliding this one through, Toya?
Mind sliding this one through, Toya?
Toya
Sure... So, like this...?
Toya
...!
It's really a tent now.
It's really a tent now.
Toya
Whoa...!
Akito
But we're not done yet. It'll get blown away if we don't clamp it down with some stakes.
Toya
Right.
You mean these pegs, yes?
You mean these pegs, yes?
Akito
Yeah.
And those two seem to be having some trouble with their tent, so let's go help them once we're done here.

Toya
Okay.
Hm? Oh, it's getting windy...
Hm? Oh, it's getting windy...
Akito
C-Crap...!
Toya
Hey, the tent's floating...!
Toya
No, at this rate, your family's tent will...!
Toya
Wah...!
Akito
T-Toya?!
What happened?!
What happened?!
Toya
Sorry, I tripped over something.
I keep forgetting how many rocks there are out here...
I keep forgetting how many rocks there are out here...
Akito
Just be careful, alright?
Toya
More importantly, what happened to the tent?!
Akito
Oh, it landed in that clearing over there. Looks like we won't have to sleep outside after all.
Toya
Okay... Thank goodness...
An
You guys okay?!
Akito
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.

An
W-Well...
Kohane
It turns out for An's tent that you're supposed to follow a certain order when sticking poles in...
Kohane
And she forgot to bring the instructions with her, so she's trying to remember each step as we go.
Toya
Going entirely on your memory seems challenging to say the least...
Akito
Yeah, especially for this one.
An
I still remember!
I'm just missing a few pieces is all...
I'm just missing a few pieces is all...
Akito
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?
An
Hey, you're right!
The tag should be...
The tag should be...
Akito
A tent like this should have its tag...
Yeah, right here.
Yeah, right here.
An
Whoa, you found it so fast!
You're pretty good at this kind of stuff, huh, Akito?
You're pretty good at this kind of stuff, huh, Akito?
Akito
Better at it than you to say the least.
Anyway, we gotta get a move on before it gets dark.

An
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!
Akito
Nice comeback...
Akito
But you bring up a good point...
Should we pick out a leader for each part?
Should we pick out a leader for each part?
Toya
Leaders?
Akito
Yeah, so we know who to turn to if we have questions or run into trouble.
Akito
I could be in charge of pitching tents and you could be in charge of cooking, you know?
An
Oh, Kohane said that she knows how to build a campfire, so she can be in charge of that!
Toya
Yes, I see. Knowing who to turn to regarding each task would streamline things quite a bit.
Toya
But... What would I be in charge of...?
Akito
You're in charge of absorbing as much information as you can. I mean, you're here for the experience, right?
Toya
True...
An
Hey, we're all in this together, so turn that frown upside down!
Akito
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?
I'll read out the order, Toya, so can you line up the poles we need as I go?
Toya
Okay.
Akito
An, Kohane, you two are in charge of sticking them in. Once that's done, we can try standing it up together.
An
Okay!
Kohane
Okay!
An
We did it...!
That was so much quicker when we all worked together!
That was so much quicker when we all worked together!
Akito
That means our tent should be a cinch. Let's keep going while we still have momentum.
Toya
Okay!

*Yawn*...
Luka
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?
Luka
Hmm... Maybe I am forgetting to do something...
MEIKO
Sure...
Always with the excuses.

Luka
Oh, that reminds me...
Aren't Toya and the others supposed to be going on their camping trip today?
