Camp Maki Bond story episode 3
Momotalk
M: Sensei
M: You free this weekend?
M: Apparently there's a famous campground over at D.U
M: Wanna come if you have the time?
S: Let me guess, a special monster spawns there?
M: How'd you know?
M: Are you a fan of AR Mushiqueen too?
S: Well, when Maki of all people talks of camping.../It's probably has something to do with a game.
M: Hey, that's mean!
M: ...not like it's untrue though.
M: So, you free or not?
S: It's a bit dangerous for you to go alone...
S: I'll come along.
In the millennium suburbs at a campsite
M: Sigh, well, the tent's alright at least...
M: Now all that's left is to enjoy camping!
M: Thanks for the help, Sensei. I'm still not used to this sort of thing.
S: No problem.
S: Did you manage to catch the monster you were looking for?
M: This special monster, the [Insomniac Crow], only appears at night.
M: According to community info, all you have to do is turn on your communication function at around 7 pm in a specific location-
S: it's only 2 in the afternoon though...
M: Yeah, but it's dangerous to walk in the mountains at night...
M: So I'll set up my tent beforehand, set up my tent and catch myself an [Insomniac Crow]!
M: We can waste as much time as we want!
M: Hehe. It's a perfect plan.
S: It's not the worst plan.../But what will you do in the meantime?
M: With a smartphone, hours go by in seconds.
M: We could watch a movie together-
M: Eh, my battery's-!?
M: But why... I charged it properly yesterday.
M: W-was the cable now plugged in properly? There's only 5% now, what should I do...
M: S-sensei... do you have a mobile battery by any chance?
S: Sorry, I forgot mine...
M: Crap. To make such a mistake on an important day...
M: Maybe if I just turn my phone off until 7 pm, I might be able to catch the crow...
M: But what should I do until then!?
M: What about looking at nature for once?/Think you can draw something up?
M: I'm worried about the battery and I can't concentrate.
M: Ugh. No choice now.
M: Maybe I could try meditating like Chihiro-senpai...
After a while...
M: I'm----booooored!
M: Sensei, my brain's melting!
M: I thought I closed my eyes for an eternity, but it's only been 10 minutes!
M: Am I doing something wrong? It's going to take forever at this rate!
S: I've only brought books...
S: Lemme check the bag...
M: Let's see...
M: Hand cranked flashlights get boring pretty quickly...
M: Wireless headphones need phones to work...
M: A portable TV... like there's going to be any signal out here.
M: Wait a second, this portable TV seems kinda familiar.
S: It's the one you brought back last time you were on duty wasn't it?
S: You modified a lot of things on it.
M: Oh yeah...!
M: I've got an idea Sensei!
M: Just start up the custom firmware I installed, adjust the device... and...!
S: Is that a space monster on the screen!?
M: Ringing any bells, Sensei?
M: When I was on the [BOOM] challenge, I was trying to get all sorts of electrical devices on it. Remember?
S: You mean that retro game of yours.
S: I was a little shocked when my refrigirator panel got turned into a video game console.
M: Well you did scold me for going too far with it...
M: Anyway, this portable TV also has BOOM on it!
M: In other words, it's a console exclusively for BOOM!
S: So it's BOOM all the way until night time?
M: Well, not THAT far.
M: I've completed it multiple times, and the graphics are pretty old.
M: I just wanted to kill some time for 30 minutes.
(Maki took the portable TV and went into the tent.)
But even after several hours, she had yet to come out of it.
5 hours later...
S: I went inside to call Maki
L2D
M: Ugh.. I died? In the same place too...?
S: Are you gonna try again?
S: It's almost time-
M: The TV's pad is a bit tricky to use...
M: And I was on the last boss too... but I keep making the same mistake...
S: Haven't you cleared it multiple times already?
M: The difficult was a bit higher than normal thanks to the unusual controls... that's probably why I got a bit competitive.
M: It's not like there's anything else to do either, so I focused on the game instead.
M: Maybe, this is what it means to camp!
S: it's almost time, are you sure you can finish it?
M: Eh!? Time's already up!? What should I do...
M: Sensei~ just one more go... this really is the last one... so please just give me a little more time...
She beats the game
M: Whoohoo! I cleared it, Sensei!
M: I wonder when was the last time I was this absorbed in [BOOM]. I guess there are things you can only experience at a campsite.
M: Hmm, I feel like I've forgotten something...
M: Oh yeah! My phone!
M: Sensei, what's the time again?
S: 7:30...
M: It's already been 30 minutes!? Crap, what if the crow's already gone...!
M: [Insomniac Crow], come on out!
<SYSTEM> The [Insomniac Crow] has flown away.
M: Crap, it ran away!
M: I even used up my day off to come here just to catch it...
M: What's the point of this now... sigh...
M: I can't just go home empty handed after all this...
M: Sensei, can you keep track of the time?
M: Since that happened, I'm gonna try speedrunning [BOOM] on a portable TV!
Afterwards, I spent the whole night playing games with Maki.
