Laid-Back Camp (ゆるキャン△)

I'm home.

Welcome back.

What's this?

It's from Grandpa.

He says he's not using it anymore.

"Camping gear."

Black Holes and the Grand Cosmos

Rin.

Do you have your books?

Yeah, I do.

Stay safe, okay?

Okay.

Off you go.

See you later.

Episode 1 Curry Noodles Are the Best Travel Companion

Hello. We have a reservation under "Shima."

Day camping, correct?

Is this your first time camping?

Yes.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Okay.

What a nice place.

Need help setting up the tent?

I'll try doing it myself.

All right.

Well, I'll be up at the lodge.

I'll come get you this evening.

Thanks.

Okay.

It's hard...

Shoot!

Gently...

Done.

In Pursuit of OOPArts

It's kind of cold...

I should try making a campfire.

There's a ton of it around.

So much to burn...

Huh?

It's not lighting.

Maybe I need more flame.

It's getting even colder.

E-Excuse me...

Ah, it's harder to start a fire with thicker branches.

That'll get you started, but it'll burn more consistently if you make a fire pit.

You'll also need these.

Pine cones?

Hello

Hello!

Use them as fire starters, and place the thinner branches on first.

Thank you for your help.

It's so warm.

I guess I should have brought some tools to cut wood.

But now that I have a fire thanks to that guy...

I'm going to make the classic camp meal: curry rice.

The finished roux goes here.

Next, we boil some rice.

Did I do it right?

It's hard!

Sorry, kids.

I'll deal with you later.

It won't come off!

It's evening already.

Nothing went right...

I didn't have any time to read.

My butt hurts.

Gurrrgle

I guess I'll just have to call it curry soup.

Home

Hello? Mom?

Rin, how's it going? Are you staying warm?

I'm fine.

I got a fire started, too.

Have you eaten?

Yeah, I made some food... sort of.

I see.

I put emergency food in your backpack.

Have that if you're still hungry.

Thanks, Mom.

Five, four, three, two, one...

Done.

Time to eat.

Was this stuff always so good?

Hey, wait up!

I thought I'd done enough research, but actually doing it is totally different.

I didn't get to read, either.

Woodcutting tools, and I guess a chair...

I wonder if my allowance will cover those.

Nadeshiko!

Come on!

Wait up!

Next is...

Takano-san!

You're working hard.

Another cold day, huh?

Hello!

It sure is cold, isn't it?

Seeing young folks deliver letters really sets the mood for December.

Kyoto Hirokawa Tea

Here you go. Hang in there.

Thank you!

I'm all done!

That was fast, Kagamihara-san. You've gotten used to it already?

Perfectly!

I'll see you again this afternoon, then.

Yup!

Hey!

Oh, Ena-chan!

Good work.

You, too.

Wanna go have lunch?

Yeah!

Stew, huh?

Yeah. Overnight stew.

You made lots of food, huh?

They say an army marches on its stomach.

Time to eat!

Ena-chan, how's work inside?

I spend all day staring at addresses.

But at least I get to be warm the whole time.

Oh, yeah?

How about you?

I'm getting the hang of it.

Someone even gave me tea today.

That's cool.

And there's this one house that has a tiny mini-shiba.

It's so cute.

I can't wait to deliver there.

Yeah?

I guess you won't be lonely, then. That's good.

Yeah.

It's just a temp job. We gotta work for our money!

Do you already know what you're going to spend it on?

Yeah. Hang on...

Here.

This gas lantern I found at the shop.

It's so cute and retro.

Hey, this is nice.
