Nikako
Waaah...the air is so clear. It has a different, calmer atmosphere than last time.
Iruru
Compared to summer, there are fewer people camping, you know. This feeling in the air is part of winter camping's charm.
Nikako
Oh! It seems like we can really relax here! I wonder where we should pitch our tents to fully enjoy winter camping.
Iruru
Ahaha, you seem like you can't wait, Nikako.
Daikoku
Haah...haah...tents...are we setting up tents already? Nikkachi, isn't that rushing things a bit...
Shigure
Eh~? Daikoku-senpai, aren't you getting tired too quickly? We've only walked a little way up the mountain?
Shigure
Will you be okay for the actual camping~?
Shigure
Hyaa!?
Nikako
Ah, a grasshopper. A Kubikirgiris...I think?
Shigure
There shouldn't be any insects in winter, right!? It's jumping at my feet, this is the worst!
Daikoku
Of course there will still be some insects even in winter when we're surrounded by nature. You're so naive.
Shigure
Why are you smirking, Daikoku-senpai! You're really gloomy and malicious!!!
Daikoku
Say whatever you want. I'm in a really good mood right now.
Shigure
Muu~!
Iruru
Now, now, let's stop there. We're about to set up tents, so beginners need to cooperate.
Iruru
For setting up the tents...hmm, this spot would be good. There are trees nearby to block the wind, and it's an open field with a nice view.
Nikako
Indeed, we should be able to see the stars clearly from here. Then, let's set up the tents around here!
Hatsumi
In that case, I'll leave tent preparation to Nikako and the others while I prepare to make a fire.
Hatsumi
Iruru. We can freely collect firewood at this campsite, right? I'll gather some while I park the car.
Iruru
Hm? Yes, I'll leave that to you then.
Daikoku
Heavy labour like collecting firewood, I can't let my Lord do that alone...! Please let me help!
Hatsumi
No, you can't. Daikoku, you stay here.
Daikoku
Eh...w-why, my Lord?
Hatsumi
I want you to set up my tent. They need more people for that task. Work together with everyone to assemble it.
Daikoku
Your...tent?
Hatsumi
I'm asking you because it's you. Can you do it, Daikoku?
Daikoku
L-Leave it to me! With all my heart and soul, I will create a place of rest for my Lord!
Hatsumi
Yes, I'm counting on you, Daikoku.
Daikoku
To be entrusted with my Lord's tent...oh, I'm overcome with joy...!
Iruru
Well, she did say "work together with everyone"...Daikoku never changes.
Iruru
Since some people are setting up tents for the first time, I'll explain how to do it and what to watch out for.
Iruru
First, lay out the tent, insert poles at the four corners and cross them. Once the frame is up, attach the tent hooks to the crossing points.
Iruru
Here we go...after attaching all the remaining hooks, add the rear pole, and drive the pegs into the ground...!
Iruru
Finally, put on the cover and it's complete. Make sure to drive the pegs firmly into the ground, or the tent might fly away in the wind.
Nikako
You assembled it so quickly...! Irurun, you're amazing as always!
Iruru
Ahaha, I'm just used to it. Anyone can do this much after doing it several times.
Iruru
Besides, Nikako, you're pretty good at it too. It shows that you've built a tent before.
Nikako
You think so? Ehehe...
Shigure
Muuu~! What's with these peg things, haah, haah...they won't go in at all!!!
Iruru
Are you okay, Shigure? Should I drive in the pegs for you?
Shigure
I don't need your help! Haah...haah...don't treat me like a child.
Iruru
No, no, that's not it, Shigure.
Shigure
W-What? ...What do you mean?
Iruru
It might be unnecessary help, but I want to do it for you. ...Can't you let your senior show off a little? Please?
Shigure
I-If you insist that much, then fine? Do whatever you want, Iruru-senpai.
Iruru
Really? Thank you~. Then, excuse me...
Iruru
There, done. Thanks for letting me help, Shigure.
Shigure
It's nothing......thank you.
Iruru
Hm?
Shigure
I said thank you! Don't make me say it twice!
Iruru
Yes. You're welcome♪
Shigure
Hmph...
Daikoku
Setting up tents really uses a lot of energy...
Daikoku
I wonder if I drove in the pegs properly...
Daikoku
Hyaa...!?
Nikako
The tent flew away!?
Daikoku
M-My Lord's tent!!!
Nikako and Daikoku
Wait-!
Nadeshiko
Phew, tent complete!
Rin
Ours is done too. I'll set up the table next, so Nadeshiko, please assemble the chairs.
Nadeshiko
Roger! Captain Rin-chan!
Rin
Yes, I'm counting on you, Crew Member Nadeshiko.
Rin
Ah, a tent just flew away.
Nadeshiko
Eh? The tent is right here?
Rin
Ah, no, I'm not talking about ours. Someone camping nearby had their tent fly away.
Nadeshiko
Oh, you're right! We were like that at first too. Remember when we were assembling the tent in the schoolyard and the pole broke?
Rin
"We"...isn't right? I was in the library then, so I wasn't assembling the tent with you.
Nadeshiko
Was that so...it's from long ago, you see.
Rin
There it is...the country grandma.
Rin
(But it's true that beginners often have those problems. There seems to be someone like a guardian over there. They should be fine...)
Iruru
Hey, Daikoku, Nikako! Be careful not to fall!
Rin
...?
Rin
(That guardian like person seems familiar somehow...)
Nadeshiko
Chair assembly complete, Captain Rin-chan!
Nadeshiko
...Rin-chan?
Rin
Ah, yes. It's nothing. I've finished setting up the table too.
Nadeshiko
I see! Then let's go collect firewood together!
Rin
Alright, alright.
