Laid-Back Camp (ゆるキャン△)

Glad you made it, Rin.

Well, where would you like to go?

The dam.

Oh, yeah?

Mm-hm.

All right then.

We got here at a good time.

See, come closer.

Scared?

Just a little.

Oh... but it's worth it.

So true.

Welcome!

Whoa!

Seen enough sights today?

Mm-hm.

Thank you, come back soon!

All right, ready to head back to my place?

Whoa!

That's my camping gear.

Camping gear?

The little one in front

seems like the big mountain's kid,

don't you think?

It looks just like Mount Fuji is hugging a small child.

That's why it's called Kodaki Fuji.

You're right, they're embracing.

You can only see Kodaki Fuji

upside-down at Lake Shojiko.

It looks normal.

Well, you can't see it when the water's as choppy as this.

Anyhow, the campsite's right this way.

Thank you.

There.

I've gotten good at this.

Grandpa's old tent is a real trooper.

But it's looking a tad worn out.

Grandpa, you sure have a lot of that stuff.

Speaking of, wanna try camping?

I dunno.

Ah, like that show we saw on TV?

You remember?

Where they started a fire like this.

Huh?

Maybe it was a movie.

They did this, and smoke came out.

So cool, let's do that!

Er, well, I'm not so sure.

Why, don't know how?

Let's go.

Are we there yet?

- - Not too cold?

I'm okay.

Hello!

No, Grandpa, you do this.

That's one way to start a campfire,

but I'm going to show you another way.

Watch and learn, I promise you it will work.

Not that I've ever done it before.

Up until that visit, I had always been a tiny bit

afraid of my stoic Grandpa.

Huh?

I wonder, maybe I'll try it out.

Getting close... at least, I think.

It's smoking!

I did it!

Huh... whoa!

Should we celebrate by heating up that milk

we just bought?

Mm-hm.

So brutal.

My poor Grandpa.

I put him through the ringer back then.

This is... exhausting.

Must keep trying, come on!

Here we go!

Oh my gosh, my arms, I'm gonna die.

Smoke before fire.

Why isn't it catching?

Success!

So cool!

And run!

Careful, now. It's hot.

It's so warm and tasty.

Sure is, why don't we take it with us,

and I'll show you somewhere special.

Oh!

Hey, miss...

you worked super hard to make that fire, didn't you?

So how come you're not using it?

It's better for keeping warm.

It would just turn the pot all black with soot.

Oh.

Hana, sweetie, we're leaving!

Okay.

But I'm not ready to go yet!

Sorry, daddy's waiting in the car.

No, I wanna play some more!

Come along.

Now that's a view.

Yeah.

So good!

Want another one?

Really... it's okay?

Sure, I'm far too full to eat another bite.

We'll head for home when you're done.

No need to look so sullen.

Loneliness is a big part of camping.
