Solo Camping for Two (ふたりソロキャンプ)

I have a dream to own my own campsite.

I want to create the ideal place

that satisfies not only myself, but my guests, too.

There's still a lot to study and do first,

but right now, I'm enjoying that.

Come to think of it, Shizuku's going to the cottage today.

Solo Camping for Two

Episode 13 What Do You Think of Shizuku?

We're here!

Wow, just look at that cottage.

Actually…

It almost looks more like a rental villa.

Let's go inside!

I'm going to park the car. You two go ahead.

Okay.

Thanks!

I bet the inside is great, too.

Red-flanked Bluetail Capacity 8 Guests

Let's explore!

Wow, it's so clean and chic!

W-Wow...

It's bigger than I expected.

And the kitchen's beautiful.

There's even a stove.

And a microwave and refrigerator!

The changing room and bath are incredible, too!

I-It's even bigger than my place back home.

A skylight!

Skylights are so fancy!

Oh, wow!

What's wrong, Shizuku?

This world is totally foreign to me.

This place has everything.

I-I mean, this impressive structure is in the middle of nature.

It's got A/C and a huge kitchen.

It's so... c-convenient.

Of course it's different from regular camping, but...

Cottage camping is too comfortable for me, Gen-san!

Normally, finding my own space is a challenge.

When using the bathroom at night, I struggle with bugs drawn to the light.

I wonder how I'll cook in a space that's limited and imperfect.

I miss those inconveniences right now.

She misses the inconvenience of camping?

She's a total camper now.

What'd you scream for?

I just saw a huge bug out there.

What? I guess there are bugs in the mountains.

Ugh, that gives me chills.

I've never seen that kind before.

Oh, right. For them, this is out of the ordinary.

Well, they seem to be having fun.

This isn't a bad way to enjoy the outdoors once in a while.

Apparently, there's a river nearby.

I saw that on the website.

I brought my sandals.

You're totally ready to go.

That sounds cool! Let's go!

It's so loud.

The river...

Now that I think about it, it did rain a lot yesterday.

It's a shame, but we can't hang out here today.

I-I guess we'll head back.

Uh-oh.

She must've been looking forward to the river.

Why don't we have lunch to take our minds off of it?

Right. Lunch. I want lunch.

Shizuku, what is that?

Oh, this?

Ta-da! It's a folding stove!

W-Wow...

H-Huh?

I-I get the appeal.

Mizuki!

So, what are you gonna make with it?

We'll use... this!

Wow! A hot sandwich maker!

You're suddenly excited.

I've always wanted to try using one.

I brought all kinds of ingredients.

I call them special spicy sauce snack sandwiches!

Nice. It's starting to feel outdoorsy.

They look great, too.

They look tasty.

Come on. Eat 'em while they're hot.

So good! And spicy!

These go great with booze.

I'm starting to get excited!

I want to try making other kinds, too!

That's the spirit!

Let's keep cooking!

Day drinking is awesome.

Oh, right. I brought board games and stuff.

Let's play after we eat.

Sounds good.

You came prepared to have a good time, huh?

What is it?

Oh, it's Shizuku.

Looks like she's having fun after all.

"We couldn't hang out at the river because it was flooded,"

"but we're having tons of fun with the board games we brought!"

Huh. I've never done anything like that.

"I know! You should send me pictures of things sometimes!"

Like what, though?

A picture!

"My new axe."

Naw, not this!

This ain't what I wanted!

Well, at least he sent me something.

"Send more pics."

But I don't have anything to send.

Hey.

Quit flirting with that old guy.

You're with us right now.

I-I ain't flirtin', okay?!

Incoming!

Mizuki wins again.

If it's a game, I don't lose.

Darn it!

That was fun, though.

Right?

Playing games outdoors is pretty fun.

I'd never do this with Gen-san.

What is it?

Look.

It's beautiful.

It's been a while since I last took in the scenery.

Have sunsets always been this pretty?

It's nice to relax out in nature once in a while.

We have Shizuku to thank for getting hooked on camping.

Yeah.

Then I'll do what I can to get you two hooked on camping, too.

Thanks for waiting.

I made octopus salad and outdoor pinchos!

Mizuki and I made sangria, too.

It's so pretty.

Okay, then...

Let's eat! Cheers!

Yum!

This salad is so good. The octopus is awesome!

I'm gonna try the other pinchos, too.

It should be about ready.

Next up is...

Ta-da!

That's a huge pot.

What is this?

A Dutch oven.

It looks heavy.

I usually can't bring it because I camp on foot, but today we drove.

Baking, sauteing, boiling, frying, steaming, and smoking.

This baby can do it all.

It's the ultimate outdoor cooking gear!
