Yuru Camp

It's so warm.

I know.

I didn't think we could buy all this in the fall.

Right?

Does this look okay, Inuyama-san?

Yeah, looks good.

Here, one cocoa for Shimarin.

Thanks.

Want some, Nadeshiko?

I'll enjoy the fire some more first.

Saitou-san, you'll burn your marshmallow if you get it too close to the fire.

What? Really?

This is harder than it looks, huh?

The trick is to cook it slowly from a distance.

I can't wait that long, though.

I know what you mean.

Let's take a group picture!

It's hidden behind the clouds today.

Saturday, November 4th

It's already 2:00.

What's up with her?

She's bound to catch a cold.

I'd like to stay for a night, please.

Of course. Please write your name and contact info here.

Shima Rin

Your checkout time is 10:00 AM tomorrow.

Feel free to use whatever is in the forest for firewood.

Okay.

Is that girl here to camp at this time of year?

Oh, Itou-san.

That girl shows up a lot around this time of year.

Huh...

She's tough for such a tiny kid.

I've got the place to myself.

Off-season is the best.

I'll set up here.

There.

Episode 1 Mount Fuji and Curry Noodles

So warm...

I think I can do without a campfire today.

They're a pain, anyway.

Current Temperature

The Mystery of Ancient Civilization X

This isn't working so well.

I don't want a campfire, though...

They're a pain to start, and they get so smoky...

And the sparks put holes in your clothes.

First, before I start collecting firewood...

There.

The pine cone.

Pine Cone

Hello!

Hello

Pine cones are excellent natural fire starters.

They'll ignite with a single match.

The ones that are open are well-dried, and will burn nicely.

That one.

This one's damp.

Here's one.

Another one.

Done.

I got too many, but whatever.

Next, firewood.

Try to find the driest pieces you can.

If they're too damp, they may not catch fire,

or they may pop.

If you're buying it, we recommend buying from firewood shops.

One bundle costs 300 to 500 yen.

But some generous campsites allow you to collect firewood for free

once you pay their camping fee.

There.

I got too much again, but whatever.

I'll turn you all into rust on my blade.

Bathroom.

She moved a little.

Oh, well.

To start a fire, first ignite the kindling.

Hot!

H o t

Start stacking thinner twigs first.

Gradually work up to thicker sticks

while leaving space between them for air flow.

When fanning the flame, do so gently.

I know my face is going to dry out.

I know I'm going to smell like smoke.

But nothing beats this warmth.

I can't believe that girl can sleep in a place like that.

I'd die from the cold.

Rin.

Yeah?

Where'd you go today?

Motosuko, huh?

Mount Fuji's wearing a hat.

It happens.

I hope it clears up.

Yeah.

Don't catch a cold

Sakura, where did that girl go?

When the heck is she coming home?

I guess I should get my lantern out now.

I drank too much soup.

Bathroom.

She's gone.

Of course she'd go home by now.

Wait for me!

So you just moved here to Yamanashi today?

Yeah.

And you came by bike to see Mount Fuji,

but you got tired, fell asleep, and missed it.

Yeah.

And when you woke up, it was pitch black.

It's downhill that way.

You can get to the bottom quickly.

No way!

That's way too scary!

Why don't you call home and ask them to pick you up?

Oh, yeah.

My smartphone, smartphone...

I just bought a new smartphone, smartphone, smartphone, smartphone...

Smartphone!
