Nikako
Wow, I haven't been to an outdoors shop since our summer stargazing trip! Look, Da-chan! They have more winter camping gear now!!!
Daikoku
There's still so much variety...
Daikoku
What's that, a human shaped sleeping bag...?
Shigure
The inventory just changed because the season changed, but Nikako-senpai is being so dramatic about it.
Iruru
Now, now, don't be like that. This is the largest store in the area, so they have many unique items and you can find everything you need here.
Nikako
Oh, I'm looking forward to browsing around!
Nikako
...Hm? That's strange?
Daikoku
What is it, Nikachi?
Nikako
Look, look, Da-chan. This tent doesn't have mesh sections. My tent had those, right?
Daikoku
You're right...there's no mesh fabric. And it seems thicker than the tent Nikachi used before.
Nikako
It is! The texture feels completely different! And the hem is longer too.
Iruru
Oh, good job on noticing. It's designed for winter, to prevent cold air from getting in.
Nikako
Wow! So things really are different depending on the season!
Daikoku
If a tent had mesh, the cold outside air would come in...
Iruru
And the differences in winter tents aren't just about keeping warm. There's ventilation at the top for when you use fuel-based heaters-
Hatsumi
Iruru, they have winter hammocks here!
Iruru
I was wondering where you went, and you found something like that...alright, alright, let's start with tents and sleeping bags first.
Hatsumi
Sleeping bags...I saw some warm looking ones in that section earlier. I'll bring them!
Daikoku
Ah! My Lord, let me assist you!
Nikako
They both left...
Iruru
Hatsumi's been so busy lately, it seems she's excited to go out with everyone.
Iruru
I wanted to talk more about the differences between summer and winter camping, but I guess I'll continue after I calm Hatsumi down?
Shigure
Good grief, Hatsumi-san is like a child getting so excited. Are Iruru-senpai and I the only adults here?
Nikako
But she's already found the sleeping bag she wants. Ren-san is really amazing!
Nikako
We need to find what we want too!
Nikako
♪ Lalala~, I'm glad Da-chan and the others have decided on their tents.
Nikako
I need to find mine quickly too! Irurun said that even a summer tent can be used in winter if you put down a sheet, right?
Nikako
Let's see, I think it was some kind of thermal ground sheet...
Nikako
Hm? Thermal ground sheet...this might be it!
Nikako
I wonder if there are any other necessary tools.
Nikako
Ah, this is the cooking equipment section.
Nikako
Wow, even something this small can be a fire pit! They even have mess tins!
Nikako
I didn't notice before because we left the cooking to Shigure-chan, but there are so many different kinds of camping cookware.
???
Look, look, Rin-chan!
Nikako
Hm...?
Nadeshiko
A wooden cutting board! If we put meat on this, it'll be just like those overseas camping videos! HEY YO!!!
Rin
They don't say things like that in camping videos...and these cutting boards are bulky and add to your luggage.
Nadeshiko
Ah, I see...
Nadeshiko
Still, outdoor shops in Tokyo are so big and have such a good selection because it's a metropolitan area.
Rin
You're right, maybe our expedition here was worth it.
Rin
By the way, Nadeshiko. Didn't you say earlier that since we made the trip, you wanted to look at new cooking equipment?
Nadeshiko
Yes! I did!
Rin
Then how about something like this? A hot sandwich maker.
Nadeshiko
Ah, I often see those in outdoor videos! You put bread and fillings in this and heat it over a fire, right?
Rin
I use one myself, and it's pretty good. Even just grilling meat buns in it is delicious.
Nadeshiko
Meat buns... drool
Nadeshiko
Then let's be particular about the fire this time, Rin-chan! This two burner stove looks nice!
Rin
Can you afford it?
Nadeshiko
The price is... glance
Nadeshiko
I can't afford it! I can't afford it, Rin-chaaaan!!
Nikako
Fufu.
Nikako
(I wonder if those two are going camping too? They look like they're having fun shopping together.)
Shigure
What are you laughing about by yourself, Nikako-senpai?
Nikako
Wah!? Shigure-chan! N-Nothing at all.
Shigure
Hmm.
Nikako
Did you come to look at cooking equipment, Shigure-chan? Is it really okay that we're asking you to be on cooking duty again?
Shigure
Well, it can't be helped since I can make the most delicious food. Besides, cooking with camping equipment was somewhat enjoyable...
Nikako
Hm?
Shigure
I-It's nothing! Anyway, I'll be doing the cooking this time too! Got it!?
Nikako
Shigure-chan...yes! Thank you!
Nikako
Then let's look together to decide what to buy, Shigure-chan! Is there anything that interests you?
Shigure
Interesting things? I just got here...
Shigure
...But if we buy new equipment, our luggage will increase, so maybe it's better not to buy anything this time?
Nikako
Ah, I see...
Nikako
...Wait?
Nikako
(This section has binchotan charcoal. What's this...?)
Nikako
(Less smoke, doesn't leave odors on clothes or food, a different taste for camp cooking...I see.)
Nadeshiko
Then let's be particular about the fire this time, Rin-chan!
Nikako
Then instead of cooking tools, why not focus on the fire? Shigure-chan!
Shigure
The fire??
Nikako
Yes! Look, that binchotan charcoal over there! It seems to be a special type of charcoal, different from the ordinary kind!
Shigure
A different taste for camp cooking...hmm, not bad.
Shigure
Since it's my cooking, special charcoal is appropriate, right? And it says it doesn't leave odors on clothes.
Nikako
Yes! Then it's decided!
