It's starting!
It's so pretty,
Good choice coming when the fireworks were scheduled, huh?
I can't believe we get to see them with Mount Fuji, This is awesome,
Yeah,
Sensei, the fireworks are starting,
Fireworks,,, haffle hoffle,,, sake,,, murfle,,,
Think it's done?
The chicken's ready!
We're ready over here, too,
Time to eat!
Yum!
The salsa really hits the spot,
And the chicken's just perfect,
Yup, yup,
Yum,
There, there,
Either freak out or eat, but pick one,
You'd better swallow first or you're gonna choke,
Grown-up camping, huh?
I guess we'll have more money to spend once we start working,
There'll be more we can do, too,
Maybe it'll change how we camp,
I'd like to have a stove,
That way, we can camp whenever we want,
Then I could bring Chikuwa along, too,
I want a driver's license so I can go camping in all sorts of places,
I'll make camp grub using local ingredients and stuff,
Nice,
What about you, Rin-chan?
I want to buy a big bike and go camping overseas or something,
That sounds good, too,
I hope we can keep camping together as adults,
Yeah,

I'm going to get lunch and check out the new issues at the bookstore on the way,
Oh, the revision's going to print around two,
Got it,

Didn't know you could see it so well from Tokyo

All done, Kagamihara-san?
You got it,
It looks nice,
Oh, you're taking tomorrow off, aren't you?
Headed to the mountains again?
I might go to my parents' place,
My sister will be back after a long time away, too,
Hello,
Welcome,
We're looking for a campfire stand,
We thought we'd try camping sometime other than summer,
That sounds great!
Camping is fun in autumn, too,
This stand is a highly functional model that can be used for all kinds of cooking,
Cooking over a campfire sounds awesome,
Though,,, it's pretty pricey, huh?
Multifunction Campfire Stand with Wind Guard
Including tax:
Grill Stick
Including tax:
Will we really be camping in the cold that much?
Our girl's still little,
Yeah, I guess you're right,,,
Well,,,
If you've been camping in the summer, you already have some gear, right?
Oh, yeah,
In that case, you might consider putting off full-on campfire cooking
and buying a simple campfire stand instead,
There's a more affordable one,
Sounds good,
Agreed,
So, which one is that?
Oh, not here,
They have it at the shop across the street,
Thank you!
Bye-bye!
Bye-bye,
You could have sold some of our stuff, too,
Sorry, boss,
Well, I'm sure those customers will be back one day,
Found it!
I think this is it,
The one that was on display over there,
Mini Gas Lantern
Huh,,, A gas lantern?
It's pretty expensive,
It's so little and cute,
You don't even go camping, do you?
Y-Yeah,,, I guess not,
Would you like to try lighting it?
So pretty,
And it's so cute,
And kind of relaxing,
Yeah!
Right?
It's been ages since I had a whole weekend off,
This is the best,

When did we see each other last?
I just told you it was the camp trip three years ago,
We just talked about that,
The chicken wings in Nagoya are so good,
You're such a pain when you're drunk, Chiaki,
Excuse me! Another beer, please,
Our schedules never really line up anymore,
I've been seeing Nadeshiko's photos, though,
She seems as lively as ever,
Here you are,
So, have you been getting your camping in lately?
Not since I moved departments,
Is it editorial now? How's that going?
It's all right, I guess,
How's work at the event company?
Me?
Well, I,,,
I quit!
Huh?!
Actually, I quit a while ago,
I'm in Yamanashi now,
Back home?

The big thing we're working on now is a redevelopment project in the Takaori area,
Takaori?
Around here,
They shut this place down a few years ago,
It's a pretty big plot of land,
They don't want it to stay derelict, so they asked us to do something with it,
It seems cool, but, like, what exactly are we supposed to do with it, y'know?
If it's that big, why don't you turn it into a campground or something?
Check, please!
Squadsman Shima, I'd like to hear more about this idea of yours!
Tsukamoto Pub
To Fujikawa City in Yamanashi!
Hey!
Roger!
Where are we going?!
Takaori, here we come!
Takaori, Fujikawa City, Yamanashi Prefecture,
Called the "Village of the Rising Sun,"
it's known for the Diamond Fuji phenomenon,
where the sun rises from Mount Fuji's peak between the winter solstice and New Year's,
Thank you!
We really came here,,,
Look, over there, That's the place,
It's a ruin,
It's been closed for five years,
It'd take a ton of work just to clean it up enough for a campground,
Hang on, I wasn't actually serious about—
Guess I'll have to wait until morning and call home,,,
Nice and warm,
Fujikawa Youth Nature Center
This place really has been abandoned,
I can't imagine anyone using it,
It's so out of the way, too,
It's pretty big,
I think it could be fixed up,
It even has a bathroom,
Huh, it's in levels,
I'll go the other way,
It's got water,
Why was I expecting that to work?
What is that?
A jungle gym,,,
Or not,
Is there more down there?
A workshop?
Looks like it was done by hand,
It's a nice building,
That's it,
Did you get a look around?
Yeah,
The grass is overgrown, the building's abandoned,,,
Perfect for a campsite, right?
I told you, I wasn't,,,
The truth is,,,
I was hoping to turn this place into a campsite, too,
I already talked to my boss and got the green light,
I'd been feeling like I'd enjoyed my life in Tokyo plenty already,
And then I got invited to my current job,
It sounded fun, so,,,
I guess I just like this place,
But now that I'm back, everything's kinda run-down,
This was meant to be somewhere people could get together and hang out, too,
I think it's good to have places like that,
We don't have a lot of a budget or staff, so I was going to look for volunteers anyway,
So why don't we build it together?
You and me,
I'll think about it,
That's my Squadsman Shima!
I always believed in you!
C-Come on,
Hey!
Rin-chan!
Aki-chan!
N-Nadeshiko?
Long time no see, you two!
Nadeshiko,,,
What're you doing here?
Huh?
Aki-chan said we were meeting up,
Chicken wings with Rin-chan, Yum!
Speeding through Yamanashi by taxi! The meter's through the roof!
Guys, meet up in Takaori!
You sent this to Aoi and Saito, too,
Wait, were we not getting together?
Sorry to drag you out here from Tokyo,
Nah, actually, I've been back here since last night,
I know!
Why don't we have hot pot later?
Crab,,,
Oh, man!
My sister brought it!
Dig in, everyone,
We've got plenty more,
Okay!
Time to eat!
That's good!
You can taste the crab immediately,
The broth is making its way through my freezing body,
And the fluffy tofu,,,
The soup-soaked napa cabbage,,,
And the green onions,,,
Shiitake mushrooms,,,
And,,,
The crab is so sweet!
Ow!
You're all so silent,
Sorry I'm late,
Inuko! When'd you get here?
Only just now,
You were all way too focused on that crab,
That was delicious,
It's been a while, you two,
Yeah,
So you had to work again today?
Yeah, The elementary school's been pretty busy lately,
I'm there most Saturdays now,
Could Ena-chan not make it?
Yeah, she said she's working all day,
Sorry, can't make it today
Pet groomers must be busier on weekends,
So anyway, about the campground we're building,,,
That was random,
A camp?!
You're building a campground?!
Calm down, Nadeshiko,
You're actually going through with it?
Yeah,
You guys want to help out?
Rin said she'd be more than happy to pitch in,
No, I never really,,,
I'm totally in!
Building a campground together sounds like so much fun!
But isn't it going to be hard?
Aki and I are local,
but Nadeshiko-chan's in Tokyo,
Ena-chan's in Yokohama, and Rin-chan's all the way out in Nagoya,
No problem!
We'll figure it out,
Right, Rin-chan?
You're as spirited as ever, Nadeshiko-chan,
All right!
Ena says she's good to join, too,
That's all of us,
The five of us are going to combine our strengths to build a campground!
To that end, I shall hereby assign your duties,
First, Nadeshiko, you're the site supervisor,
Site Supervisor
Kagamihara Nadeshiko
Inuko, you're on schedule management,

Inuyama Aoi
Ena is PR,

Lastly, our lead manager will be,,,

Nadeshiko-chan's so strong,
She's the perfect site supervisor,
Leave the heavy lifting to me!
Right?
I actually considered what you're all good at, believe it or not,
W-W-Wait, why am I the lead?
You're the most experienced camper,
You're perfect,
No one's more of a camper than you, Rin-chan,
Please and thank you, Lead Manager,
We'll do our best to stay out of your hair,
Nadeshiko's giving me a ride,
Okay, We'll have to do something nice for her,
Can the five of us really make it happen?
It's exciting to start something new, though, isn't it?
Let's start making plans for the campground!
We have to come up with specific proposals to show the prefecture,
Heya!
I'll be there next time,
It's been a while since we got to see you, Ena-chan,
Yup, yup!
Rendezvous at the prefectural office,
I'm expecting great things of you all!
Roger!
Motorbike Products
I heard the news from Nadeshiko,
You're building a campground, huh?
Yeah,
That's so cool, You're the leader,
That's not really the point,
How long does it take to bike there?
Four hours from Nagoya,
Four hours?!
That's going to be a rough commute,
It's actually not that bad,
Grandpa used to take that bike to Yamanashi,
You still favor the strong style, huh?
Shima-san, your oil change is done,
Thank you,
Sounds good,
You sound like you're doing good, too,
Do I?
Shachihoko Publishing
We still have a lot of research to do,
Lake Hamana Specialty Unauna Pie
But my friends from back home and I are going to see what we can do,
Wow, a campground,
That sounds fun,
Building it from scratch, huh?
That might make the perfect serial in the local magazine,
Right, Chief?
Okay,
Really?!
It'd be hard to send a writer out, so you'll have to write it yourself,
Can you do the online version, too?
I'll need the proposal today,
Okay, I'll get it done right away,
Hey!
There she is,
Ena-chan!
Thanks for waiting,
It's been a long time, everyone,
It sure has!
Hey,
You seem well,
All right, that's all of us,
Yeah,
This is our operation headquarters,
I-It's,,,
So tiny!
I asked if we could use a room for our project, and this is what they gave me,
It's like the Outclub room,
Yeah,
I mean, we'll only really use it for meetings,
This is plenty of space,
Whoops,
What is this thing?!
This is our tourism marketing robot, Ginger-kun,
I hope you can all be friends with him,
Why is there a tourism robot here?
Well, he's been through some hard times,
Let's play rock-paper-scissors!
Rock! Paper! Scissors!
Okay, I win!
So it's just a rock-paper-scissors robot,
Planning
Field Work
Operation
I did some research,
Planning
Field Work
Operation
and apparently these are the three things we'll need,
Uh-huh,
First we need to pick a target market and the site style,
We'll carry out some field work in parallel,
I think we'll have to take turns depending on our availability,
And then we have to come up with a booking system and operating manual before we open,
Site Photos
Parking
Book Here
Plans
The Site
Facilities
Dining Options
Site Map

Solo campers welcome
Free Auto Site
Rental for Beginners
I see,
Gotta start with planning, then,
We have to think about our demographic and what they want when camping,
It'd be nice if people could enjoy it with their friends and family,
And if solo campers could come relax,
How about a site that children will like?
Like something with a kids' space,
Maybe it can have a dog park so that we can attract campers with dogs,
A lot of my customers go camping, too,
It'll be great if all sorts of people can enjoy it in all sorts of ways,
Yeah,
Well, why don't we go to the site and come up with more specific ideas?
Wanna cut the grass, too?
I'm in!
All right, everyone, this is step one,
Weekend Warriors: Work Clothes Rangers!
Weekend Warriors: Work Clothes Rangers
I've got gloves and tools,
We haven't worn the same clothes together since high school,
This is exciting,
What's that?
I thought I'd take some videos,
They might come in handy,
Ooh! That's our PR manager for you!
So, Ena-san, how do you feel right now?
I'm gonna get stuff done,
What are you all doing?
Stop messing around and get working,
Okay,
Huh?
It's so hard to cut,
It's not coming off,
This is harder than I thought,
It's not like we really cut grass that often,
Sheesh, there's a ton of trash behind the building,
We gotta take care of all this, too,
We do,
My back hurts!
Mine, too!
Rin, wanna trade jobs?
We just got started,
Hey, what do you think that is?
Ah, I've been wondering about that myself,
Oh, that?
That's an aviary,
An aviary?
They wanted it to be a place where people could interact with birds,
But the mesh was too sparse,,,
And the birds flew away on day one,
That's pretty grim, if you think about it,
What are we going to do with it?
Trash it, probably,
This is going to take forever,
Hey! Ohgaki-chan!
Okazaki-san!
Have some of the yuzu we grew,
Oh, wow!
Thank you!
Huh, are you cutting the grass here by hand?
We aren't getting anywhere with it,
Grab it with your thumb down and chop it near the roots, like this,
This saw's made to cut on the draw,
Push lightly and then bear down lightly when you drag,
It'll wear you out if you do little strokes, so use the whole blade,
Wow,
Don't go hurtin' yourselves!
Thank you!
We learned so much,
Is he from the neighborhood?
Yeah,
Okazaki-san's a farmer,
You know each other well, huh?
I get to talk to the people in this area a lot,
I try to be careful, of course,
but we might cause headaches for them every now and then,
Besides, I want the locals to look forward to the campground, too,
Whoa, that cut really cleanly,
You're right! This is way better,
Nice,
You cut a lot,
The grass is coming along, too,
Hey, guys!
Why don't we call it a day and have tea?
I'm in!
Here,
Thanks,
It smells so good,
I tried putting the yuzu we got in with the hot lemon,
Huh,
That hits the spot after hard labor,
Yum,
The yuzu scent is so relaxing,
It's been a while since we've done this, huh?
We used to drink coffee over a bonfire during high school,
That takes me back,
This is such a nice place, though, with a perfect view of Mount Fuji right in front,
Now that I'm getting a good look,
I feel like we can make a decent tent site if we clean up the levels,
Yeah,
The other question is how we apply our ideas from earlier,
Let me draw it all out,
We make a solo site and a family site, add a dog park and a kids' area, and,,,
Management Building
Solo Sites
Water
Family Sites
Something like this?
Dog Park
That looks nice,
Kids' Area
It's pretty jam-packed,
I think we can make enough space,
Although we have to dispose of the aviary,
and then put in the playground equipment and fencing and stuff,
That might be a bit hard on the budget,
I can see that,
I think the campground needs a concept to bring our ideas together,
A concept?
Like, our vision for the campground, I guess,
A concept, huh?
I've got nothing off the top of my head,
Well, I still need to research other campgrounds,
so I'll give it some thought,
Research?
Yeah,
I got permission to write a serial about this place,
You could have told us sooner!
Was it not okay?
It's more than okay!
It'll create buzz, too,
It's just a local magazine in Nagoya,
It won't be very good advertising,
I think some people will take interest, though,
I'll do some research for next week and report back, then,
Okay,
Hello,
I called here earlier, I'm Shima,
Ah, I've been waiting for you,
This is such a nice campsite,
I used to come here a lot,
You sure did,
This view hasn't changed at all,
We try not to interfere too much with the nature here,
Everything's just as it is,
As it is,,,
We figured that would draw out the charm of this place more,
I got some research done,
And I've been thinking,,,
Instead of trashing stuff, why don't we try to use what's already there?
Use what's there?
Like the aviary,
I feel like it blends in well with the natural scenery,
Yeah,
That'll help us keep our budget down, too,
What about the metal drums behind the building?
We might be able to use them in the dog park!
Oh, yeah, those,
We could try asking the locals, too,
Maybe they have stuff they don't need,
Ooh!
Yeah, I think that's great!
Well, shall we try submitting this?
Thank you!

Yes,
Okay,
Finishing work
Going home!
No wonder it's so cold,
Hey, Rin-chan, how's work?
Is it snowing in Takaori?
Hey,
I just left, but it wasn't snowing,
I'm on my way back to Nagoya,
Parked at Yatsugatake,
I'm taking a dinner break at Dangouzaka,
We just missed each other, huh?
Yup,
I love eating at the service area, It's so much fun!
All the excitement of being on the road,
plus local gourmet food,
I kinda get it,
Are you spending the year-end in Nagoya?
Yeah,
I have some research to do right after,
Yeah?
Guess I'll see you next year, then,
Drive safely!
Happy New Year,
It's been a long time, everyone,

Hey, Mini-Inuko can manage proper greetings now,
Right?
So can I have some New Year's allowance, Aki-chan?

Wow,
Can I help with anything?
Of course you can,
Why don't we have her design the logo for the campsite or something?
Good idea,
Inuyama-san, you're at Fujimi Elementary in Kajikazawa, aren't you?

By the way, when are we set to open?
Excellent question,
This July,
That only gives us half a year!
It was a political decision!
It was the only way I could get them to accept,
Aki-chan,,,
Okay! We'll figure it out!

It's a backhoe!
All right, here we go!
Wow, Nadeshiko-chan!
I took the training course,
Don't worry!
All right, let's get started over here, too,
A grass cutter!
Okazaki-san lent it to me,
I'm gonna shred right through all the grass!
Things are moving along over here!
Nadeshiko-chan's a badass!
Aki's keeping up, too!
We might finish the cleanup sooner than expected!
They're so giddy,
Leave some work for me,
Let's review what goes into making a campground,
First, clearing the grass,
For large areas, we use grass cutters,
Narrow places are done by hand,
Then the ground is leveled using a hydraulic shovel,
The broken steps need to be fixed up, too,
The old facility is renovated into an admin building,

Aki-chan!
This is bad, Aki!
Our food,,,
The waste area,,,
It's been ransacked,
Do you think it was wild animals?
There are tons of deer and boar and monkeys around here,
We'll have to figure out what it was so we can set up countermeasures,
If it was a boar or something, it might not be safe for us to guard it ourselves,
I know who we can ask!
Is this what Ginger-kun's seeing?
Yep,
Hopefully we can lure the culprit out,
There's something there,
Let's play rock-paper-scissors!

Heya! Is everyone here?
That's everything we need, right?
Well, time for our first test camp-out at our own campground,
Here we go!
Apparently they rent out these tents at Nadeshiko-chan's shop,
Oh, they do rentals, too?
It's huge,
Now we can all sleep in the same tent, huh?
Frame's all set,
Okay,
There,
The tent's done!
We managed somehow,

Hello!
Crazy hot!
Tonight we're cooking with,,,
Special Price!
Salmon!
Uh, isn't that a bit too much?
It was a huge discount,
We're having a salmon party tonight!
How to make salmon soup:
First, boil some water,
Add peppercorn,
bay leaves,
and some diced onions and carrots,
Let it simmer for a while, then toss in the potatoes,
Give it a while to cook,
I can't wait to see how it's going to turn out,
Roasted salmon pairs best with Japanese sake!
Already?
She's totally the new Miss Chug,
Once the veggies are cooked, it's time to add the salmon,
Then some cream and salt,
Lastly, sprinkle in some dill,,,
And you have salmon soup,
Let's eat!
It's good!
Warms me right up,
It's simple, yet so rich and delicious,
Glad you like it,
The umami of the salmon and veggies melts into the gentle cream soup,
Yum!
I made some separately for Chikuwa, too,
Thanks, Nadeshiko-chan,
Something smells really good,
That's the dill,
It's a kind of herb,
It has a fresh scent that goes well with the salmon,
Yup,
It tastes like you're in the middle of a forest in Finland,
What does that taste like?
Huh? All gone already?
It doesn't last when there's five of us,
The show's not over yet, Aki-chan,
I think the other one's about ready now,
Another pot?!
When did that happen?
The salmon party's just getting started!
Ishikari hot pot with yuba!
Yum!
The miso in this one is really calming,
I never thought yuba would work so well in Ishikari hot pot,
I got some slightly high-end yuba from Minobu,
And I put some milk and butter in there to lock the flavor in,
That's why it's so creamy,
Koshu Specialty Houtou
We're finishing it off with houtou,
Yay!
You're so good at improvising, Aoi-chan,
Nothing beats eating camp grub at a campground that you built yourself!
Not that it's done yet,
This really is luxurious though, isn't it?
Yeah,
Not that it wasn't hard work, but I guess we always had it in us,
I know,
Taking yours black, Ena-chan?
Yup, Thanks,
We should start thinking about the operation manual, too,
I've put some thought into it,
Good job, Nadeshiko-chan,
Also, I noticed the bathroom's pretty far from here,
Yeah, you're right,
The path's bumpy, too,
I almost tripped earlier,
And it's hard to carry stuff up and down all the stairs,
Maybe we should lend out carts and have people use slopes,
Still lots to figure out, huh?
Hey,,,
Wanna go over there?
I knew it,
It's like a planetarium,
It's so trippy,
It is,
Despite all the issues, I guess there's always a way to make things fun,
She's having too much fun,
Chikuwa!
Did you find something?
What is that?
Part of a flowerpot?
Imagine if it turns out to be valuable,
You might have made a big discovery, Chikuwa,
Time to work on the dog park,
We're way ahead of schedule,
Ohgaki, do you have a minute?
Sure,

I'm off,
See you soon,
What's up?
Yeah, uh, so there's an investigation team coming to the campground,
An investigation team?
Just in case, I told my boss about that piece Chikuwa found,
Turns out it might be a real clay pot artifact,
A clay pot?
They pop up all over Yamanashi,
Really?
Well, apparently it's only going to take the team a week or two,
So we can continue once they're done, right?
Aye,
Time to take a break until then,
Yeah,
Anyway, I'll let you know as soon as I learn more,
So just take it easy for a while,
Okay, Got it,
Bye,
Huh?
You're doing all that yourself, Kariya?
I mean,,,
It's been a while since I've said hi to the printers, too, you know?
Are you sure you aren't taking on too much work?
Why not let Shima-kun handle some of it?
I want to give her space to focus on what she wants to do for now,
I think it's her time to rise,
Kariya-san!
Wait, were you listening?
I'd like to visit the printers with you,
Huh?
But,,,
My Yamanashi plans today got canceled,
Oh, Okay,
Veterinary Hospital Pet Salon
There, there,
Good doggy,
Your family will be here for you soon,
Yeah,
I'm not going by Takaori anymore,
So I'll head straight home,
See you, Aoi-chan!
That's Aoi-sensei, you guys,
Bye-bye, Aoi-chan!

Hello?
So, uh,,,
Listen,,,
It turns out that clay pot was from the Johmon period,
It's going to take a few months for the research team to dig up the artifacts,
We can open after that, then,
Well, actually,,,
They've uncovered so much that
there's been a proposal to turn the place into a museum thing,
Takaori Archaeological Museum (tentative name)

Sample artifacts
Upon recent investigation, it has been determined that a large number of the findings are Johmon pots, Johmon pots are known for their highly decorative designs, As of March, we have found over 20 artifacts, and expect to complete excavations by mid-April,
The campground's been axed,
They're reevaluating what to do with the space,
Is there any chance that a campground might still be on the table?
Ancient artifacts would be a good way to reinvigorate the area,
To be honest, I don't think so,
You guys put so much into the project,
I'm so sorry,

Thank you

Thank you
We had fun, Goodbye
Smile and say hi
Heyo,
Is that it?
Yeah, Thanks for the help,
Are they tearing it down?
They're still in discussions,
Ah,
Ow!
What was that for?!
You did good, Inuko,
Thanks,
But it's not like I'm quitting teaching, you know,
I'm just moving to a new elementary school,
It's still sad, though,
Nah,
Just kidding,
You,,,
You tricked me!
Get over here!
Stop, Aki!
This is what liars get!
I'm home,
Did you hear me pull in?
You did, didn't you?
Wanna go for a walk?

"We're Making a Campsite, Yo!" is going on hiatus,
I just sent it,
Okay,
Good work,
Um,,,
Is there anything else?
Why not call it a day? You stayed until the last train last night,
No, I need to stay and catch up,
Don't worry about that,
I'll be fine,
Could I ask you to proof the drafts for the new article, then?
Okay,

Kagamihara-san,
Yes?
We got the new issue of Bivouac,
Could you put it on the shelves?
Got it,
Build Relationships at a Campsite
Campsite and Camp Food Recommendations
It's so expensive, though,
Why not just use a candle?
Like it's some kind of ritual?
It's those girls,
Hello,
Can I help you find anything?
We were thinking of going camping to commemorate our graduation,
But we don't know what we need to have for it to count as camping,
There's so much gear, too, and it's pretty expensive,
If it's your first time camping, you could try a day trip picnic instead of staying the night,
Even just cooking some instant food over a campfire would be good,
That counts?
Of course,
You can do it however you want,
And you can just collect equipment over time,
Hey, why don't we do cup noodles, then?
You just want to eat cup noodles,
I want the seafood kind,
I kinda want classic soy sauce ramen,
I'll have tonkotsu, then,
Tonkotsu? Really? That's such a weird choice,
Shut up,
Thank you very much,
What's up?
I was just thinking about when I first started camping,
I hope they have fun,
You really are perfect for this job, Kagamihara-san,
Huh?
Where did all this,,,
'Sup!
Yeah,
Nice and bite-sized,
Come on, now, take a break,
Kariya-san?
No, you need to let her take on some of your work,
Chief?
I'll be fine,
No, really, just tell me what I can do,
Rin, it's done!
Our campsite!
It's finally complete!
Oh, man!
It looks fun!
Shima-kun! Go report on it! Go!
Hang on,,, What?
Now, off you go!
See you soon!
Everyone,,,
I'm truly, truly grateful,
I'll be off now,
What the heck was that?
Shima-san, are you home?
Delivery!
O-Oh, coming! Sorry!
Rin, Are you eating well? I'm sending you some emergency rations, Take care of your health, okay? -Mom
"Emergency food,"
Rin-chan! Wanna go to a hot spring?
A hot spring?
This isn't so much a hot spring trip as it is mountain climbing,
Hang in there, Rin-chan!
Hot springs are awesome after a hard climb!
It's not that steep, but I feel like I've been walking for an hour,
You aren't tired at all,
I always have a surplus of stamina,
Sell me some of that right now,
Hello there,
Hello,
Yup, yup,
Let's walk slowly,
Feels good, huh?
You were so hyper when we went to Takaori,
So warm,
Aki
Jeez, that startled me,
Yeah?
Ohgaki
Hey, Inuko,,,
I still,,,
There,
Thanks,
You're having seafood ramen today,
These high school girls came in the other day,
and they were talking about what flavor cup noodles they wanted,
So I thought I'd try something different this time,
Is curry still your favorite?
Yeah,
Let's eat!
Let's eat,
Oh, yeah,
I brought rice balls,
Here you go,
It's massive,
Wanna put on our crampons?
Okay,
Honzawa Hot Spring 10 min,
Japan's Secret Hot Spring: Honzawa Hot Spring
Highest Outdoor Bath in Japan 2,150 meters
We finally made it,
We have to buy tickets here and walk a little farther to the baths,
There's more climbing?
My sister told me about this place,
Sakura-san did?
She messaged me the other day, so I told her about losing the campground project,
And,,,
Why don't you go here if you have some time?
Honzawa Hot Spring
Sourced from Yatsugatake
The highest outdoor bath in Japan
They were talking about it on TV,
,,,was what she said,
Sounds just like her,
Hot Spring
It's so beautiful!
Yeah,
Oh, that's the hot spring there,
It's tiny!
And it's right on a slope,
It looks liberating, doesn't it?
Where do we get changed?
Wherever, apparently,
There's no one around, It's okay,
The exhaustion is melting right out of my body,
I know,
Hot springs are,,,
even better the older you get,
I know what you mean,
We're proper adults now, aren't we?
We have proper jobs, and we have more disposable income,
We can buy all kinds of camping gear now,
And we got our driver's licenses,
Yeah, exactly,
Tokyo and Yamanashi are a quick drive away,
I remember when you used to bike everywhere,
I'm a full-fledged grown-up,
But that doesn't seem to mean we can do everything,
Takaori was so fun,
It felt like we were on a long camp trip there,
I've always been hoping we could all spend time together like that,
And then camping brought us together again,
Yeah,
I feel the same way,
But my senpai at work had to cover for me in the meantime,
He's had it rough because of me,
Did you get in trouble?
No,
He was supporting me the whole time,
I used to think I could do anything once I grew up, too,
But in reality, I have more responsibilities and things I have to do,
Even as an adult, I'm still being propped up by the people around me,
I realized I'm not really on my own,
Yeah?
You're right,
You know, though,,,
There are some things we can only do now that we're grown up, too,
Like what?
Like,,,
We get to share the things we enjoy with other people,
Then those people share it in turn,
And we can make places where things like that happen all the time,
Isn't that what we were trying to do?
You're amazing, Nadeshiko,
It would be amazing if we could do that,
We can,
You were the first person to teach me how fun camping is, Rin-chan,
Was I?
You forgot?!
I remember,
Maybe there's still a way to pull it off,
Let's think about it,
Shall we make a move, then?
Yeah,
Hello,
No one's here,
Maybe we're early,
A pine cone,
Hello!
Aki,
What are you doing?
We've got intruders!
It's Nadeshiko-chan and Rin-chan,
Oh, it's just you guys,
Don't surprise me like that,
We weren't surprising you,
I've been waiting for you,,,
Long time no see, guys!
Sorry, I took it too far,
So, anyway,,,
Here we are, once again,
Yes, sir,
Listen up, y'all,
Things are looking grim for the campground project,
So to overcome this crisis,
Inuko and I have come up a way to approach the prefectural government
and the excavation team in tandem,
1, Redo campsite plans!
First, we're redoing our campsite plans,
Redoing them?
That location's being considered for archaeological facilities now,
but we don't have to fight with them,
We'll propose a new campground plan instead,
Specifically,,,
Renewed Proposal Fujikawa City Takaori Campsite
Ohgaki,
You're serious, aren't you?
Yes, I'm serious,
1, Redo campsite plans! 2, Accelerate the excavation!
Next, the excavation,
They're actually lacking staff and behind schedule right now,
We can't move on to the next step until they're done anyway,
so we'll help them with the excavation,
We'll take turns helping you starting today,
Looking forward to it!
Man, you guys are lifesavers,
Also, I can make lunch and stuff, too,
Huh?
Thanks for cooking,
Man, that was delicious,
Thank you,
U-Um,,,
If you wouldn't mind, could you please tell me more
about the pots and the Johmon era?
Shachihoko Publishing
You want to resume the serial?
Yes,
The campsite isn't back for sure yet, but we're all working on it,
I'll continue my usual duties, too, of course,
Okay,
That's it?
Let him spoil you while you still can,
The chief used to have my back when I was younger, too,
You were even more of a pain in the ass,
Oh, come on,
Thank you!
Swift as the wind Gentle as the forest Fierce as fire Firm as the mountain
Next, we'll discuss the excavation site in the Takaori region of Fujikawa City,
There's a proposal for a cultural center to display archaeological artifacts,
Sorry, we also have a proposal from the Tourism Organization,
Yes,
Please have a look at this,
Since last year, we have been developing a campground in Takaori
around the currently existing facilities,
The theme for the project is "revitalization,"
Our plan was to utilize
what was already there to create a space for people to enjoy in their own ways,
The discovery of the Johmon pottery put a halt to the project,
but even so, we were able to make new discoveries of our own,
These are called repair holes,
It's thought that they were made to repair cracks by tying them together with string,
The Johmon people had a culture of fixing and taking good care of their things,
Wow,
Camping gives us a space to face ourselves, away from our usual lives,
As we worked to revitalize this old site,
building a campground gave us
an opportunity to reunite with old friends and look within ourselves,
Be it through the existing facilities or the pottery from ancient times,
we've been given opportunities to see things in new ways,
Which is why,,,
Our campground will make use of the artifacts and pottery!
Pottery
Camping
Artifact Display Spaces
Pottery and Fire-Starting Experiences
Campfires and Pottery-Firing Spaces
A New Campground for Camping and Pottery!
This is our new proposal,
Please take it into consideration,
Understood,
Give us time to take a good look at it along with the other proposals,
Of course,
Shall we get going?
Might as well,

Ohgaki, this submission form,,,
Huh?
She went to the prep room,
She said she's making an announcement,
Campsite Proposal Schedule
WE DID IT
Approved
It's grown so much in the short time we were away,,,
The grass here has some grit,
We've got grit, too,
The summer's gonna be tough, but we're shooting for a fall opening,
Right,
Huh?
Wh-What?
You're pretty gung-ho, Rin-chan,
Not really,,,
Now, a word from our lead manager, please,
Er,,,
Let's do this,
Yeah!
Let's clear the top level first,
Okay,
Agreed,
Experience Space
Pottery Firing Space
Artifact Display Space
We'd like to make space for tents here,
Could we build it as close to the ledge as possible?
Ready,
Okay,
One, two,,,
Whoops,
You gotta put your back into it,
Mountain Man
Okazaki-san!
And that's how it's done,
Rin-chan! Nadeshiko-chan!
Got a minute?
We're allowed to take what's here,
I thought maybe we could use it for the kids' area,
How's that?
Yup, all good,
I'm soaked!
That's delicious, isn't it?
I borrowed this from Akari,
Did you invite your families?
Yeah,
They were more enthusiastic than I expected,
I invited my coworkers,
Akari-chan will be here, right?
Of course,
She's coming with Toba-sensei,
There we go,
Raise the right side a little,
Like that?
Yeah,
Okay,
One, two,,,
All done!
Let's see,,,
Consomme, salt, garlic,,,
I think we'll need olive oil, too,
Oh, right,
I haven't gone camping in ages,
Okay, I'll see you there,
Yup, Stay safe,
The check engine light,,,
We should take it in for maintenance just to be safe,
How should I get to Takaori?
You could take the other one,
Campsite Usage Form Visit Term: Contact Name: Address: Phone Number: Other Guests: ___Adults ___Children ___Pets ___Total Guest Names:
That should do it for the guest list and writing tools,
Got our cash box, too,

Although half of those are people we know,
It's a good start for our opening day,
Here we go,
Yeah,
Huh?
There's no one here,
We haven't gotten any cancellation calls,
Well, I don't think people come right the second it opens,
Of course,
This is Fujikawa Matsubokkuri Camp Base,
You don't know how to get here?
Landmarks?
I'll take a look and call you right back,
We had plenty of direction signs, didn't we?
We made them together,
Hey, you mean these?
Matsubokkuri Camp Base
What's the point if we don't hang them up?!
I think the guests are all lost,
Akari
Akari, where are you right now?
About that,,,
I don't have any idea,
We're totally lost,
I'll go get them,
Nadeshiko and Saito, can you guide me to where the people are lost?
Okay,
Roger,
The pamphlet map should be the easiest to explain with,
They said they see what looks like a shrine,
This is the only shrine around here,
A white van,
With Yokohama plates, so it should be easy to spot,
We're counting on you, Rin-chan!
I'm on it,
Let's go,
I got this!

Yes,
We all get along great already,
Nadeshiko!
Help!
Sure! Coming!
Wow, you really are a pro,
I know,
Hey, Rin-chan!
Rin,
Grandpa,
Welcome, Thanks for coming,
Yeah,
You got it done,
It's a good campground,
Thanks,
Everyone's having fun,
Yeah,
It makes me so happy,
Yeah,
I'm glad we did it,
Hey, why don't we have another New Year's camp trip here?
Hey, good idea,
Let's aim to watch the Diamond Fuji New Year's sunrise, then,
What should we have to eat?
It'll be New Year's, so why not have soba together?
Including you, Rin-chan, right?
I guess,,,
Maybe,
I'll think about it,
