It's gotten late.
I wonder if Chiaki and the girls have already gotten started.
Hey, Rin! Over here!
Shima-san!
We've been waiting for you.
Long time no see, Rin.
Long time no see, everyone.
Sorry I'm late.
The highway was packed.
It must have been cold coming from Nagoya.
Thanks.
That's how it always is.
I've always biked everywhere.
Your face is beet red, Chiaki.
How long have you been drinking?
I've only had half a glass.
Nadeshiko's not here yet, huh?
She said she got off work just now.
I see.
Nadeshiko-chan's so amazing.
She starts a camping gear company in college, and now it's booming.
Now she's the CEO of a giant firm with a headquarters in the US.
She's changed so much.
No.
Nadeshiko hasn't changed.
She just loves camping more than anyone.
Looks like she's here.
Sorry I'm late, everyone!
Maybe in ten years...
that's what we'll be like.
No way.
Oh, she's back.
Rin-chan!
Welcome back!
Episode 11 Mount Fuji and the Laid-Back Camp Girls
I had fun, Chikuwa.
Let's hang out again.
He can't hear you, Nadeshiko-chan.
I never knew Chihuahuas didn't like the cold.
Yeah, that's why I couldn't keep him here overnight.
So cold!
Quit splashing water.
Hey, who should take a bath first?
I can go later.
Same.
What about you, Sensei?
She'll take a bath after she's sobered up, she said as she was drinking.
She's never going to get her bath.
That hits the spot.
We had lots of fun and ate lots.
I've never gone winter camping, but I liked it a lot.
Thanks for inviting me, guys.
Not at all.
Uh, Sensei, are you sure you didn't mind coming out here with us?
It's Christmas.
What about your boyfriend?
Oh, yeah, the fire-starting guy.
Er, I'm not dating anyone, though.
The fire-starting guy?
You were camping with him at Lake Shibire.
Oh...
That's my kid sister.
What?! Your kid sister?!
People often mistake her for a guy because of how she looks.
So it was a fire-starting lady?
We're back. The bath was nice.
Aki-chan, you're a girl, right?
Right?!
Are you trying to pick a fight?
This feels great.
It warms you right up.
Perfect.
Thanks for the food you shared back then.
It was delicious.
No problem.
The jambalaya was really good, too.
Do you go camping with your sister a lot?
Yes.
Our father always loved the outdoors.
We used to go camping as a family just about every week when I was little.
Now my sister's taken it up as a hobby.
I go with her sometimes.
Sibling camping trips!
Lake Shibire was great, huh?
It sure was.
Camping at Lake Shibire, huh?
It had such a nice vibe, and the barbecue was great.
But...
Just what was that, anyway?
What's wrong? You look pale, Rin-chan.
We're back!
You all look like Rin-chan!
Welcome back.
Lucky! Lucky!
Want a Shimarin bun, too, Nadeshiko-chan?
Yes!
Who named it that?
The Shimarin bun...
Buns, buns, tasty buns!
One more, one more, please!
They found me.
A Yamanashi specialty:
Yamanashi Specialty Shimarin Buns
Shimarin buns.
There, done.
Well? How is it?
I know! Let's all take a picture together.
Wha?
There's a bath, the view's nice...
This place is the best.
I know.
You guys better thank Shimarin-san.
No, don't.
Three, and...
Thank you very much!
Please don't thank me like you're elementary school kids.
So, what do you want to do now?
It's a bit early to go to bed.
I have the perfect thing.
Did you know?
Nowadays, there's this thing called outdoor film festivals.
They set up a screen under the starry sky and watch movies all night long.
I thought we could do something like that together,
so I signed up for this yesterday.
Just 1,280 yen per month
to watch over ten thousand videos for free!
Let's watch videos until we get sleepy.
Sounds good!
Nice idea, Aki-chan!
What do you want to watch?
Anime.
Comedy.
Western movies.
Let's watch horror.
I'm kidding.
Aoi-chan!
I'm going to head to bed now.
Good idea.
Me, too.
I'm going to watch one more.
Me, too.
The sukiyaki was delicious.
Yeah.
The cheese pasta was good.
Thanks for going out to buy gas.
Hey, a shooting star.
No way! Where, where?
Just kidding.
That anime was good.
They show it every summer, but I end up watching it each time.
I know.
I've never seen it before, but Moped Journey was good, too.
My sister loves that series.
We have the DVDs at home.
They pass by Lake Hamano at one point.
Was that where you lived?
Yeah, it was.
Right by the sea.
The sea...
That sounds nice.
I think I'll take my moped there sometime.
It's nice.
Rin-chan, have you decided what you're going to do for New Year's?
I think I'll be working on New Year's.
Work, huh?
I'm looking for a job, too, but I can't find anything.
There aren't too many job listings for high schoolers around here.
Oh.
Hey, a UFO.
What? Where?
Over there.
It's moving slowly.
UFOs don't move slowly.
It might be a chill UFO, Rin-chan.
Say what?
Oh, that's a satellite.
You can see satellites from here?
I think so.
The year's over already.
Rin-chan...
Let's go camping lots next year, too.
Yeah.
Monday, December 25
So cold.
It's morning, Nadeshiko.
I'm awake.
You were going to get up early to make breakfast, weren't you?
Happy New Year.
Not yet.
Is this enough miso?
Yeah, something like that.
Turn down the heat before you put the natto in.
Okay.
It's so cold...
Morning.
Morning!
Morning.
Grilled salmon, huh? Looks good.
What are you making, Shima-san?
Veggie and natto miso soup.
Oh, an all-Japanese menu.
A truly Japanese breakfast.
Morning, everyone.
Morning.
Breakfast is ready.
Good morning...
Good morning.
Eat up, everyone.
There's plenty for seconds, too.
Time to eat.
Miso soup really warms you up.
You can feel it all the way down.
Yum!
Is this yesterday's meat?
Yeah.
I made Yamato stew with the soup and ginger.
Salmon goes so well with brown rice.
Did you sleep well, Saitou-san?
Yeah, I might have slept until noon if no one woke me up.
I got cold during the night, so I added another warmer.
The sun's rising.
It's so bright.
I know.
Takeda Bookstore
I want to go somewhere for New Year's Eve, too.
This one, please.
Oh, sorry.
The Joy of Winter Camping
The club room building will be open during winter break until the 28th
It got put off while we were preparing for the Christmas camp trip...
But we hereby begin a bigtime clean-up of the club room.
Are you ready, comrades?
Yes, sir!
Get on it!
Yeah!
All done!
That didn't take long. The club room's so small.
It's great at times like this.
We get to move to a bigger room if we get one more member, right?
Indeed!
In fact, I tried recruiting Saitou for the Outclub during our Christmas camp trip.
Really?
Nah, I can't quit the going home club just yet.
She turned me down without a second thought.
That girl's just like Shimarin. She won't be that easy.
I look forward to spending next year with you guys.
Do you both have work until New Year's Eve?
It's the busy season.
I have a full work schedule until the third.
Oh.
You still haven't found a job?
All the job listings are in Kofu.
I want to buy lots of camping gear with my own money and go camping with it.
When am I ever going to find work?
Oh, it's Rin-chan.
Nadeshiko, are you still looking for work?
Yeah...
Perfect.
Saitou will fill you in.
Nadeshiko-chan, I have a temp job making New Year's cards.
Do you want to join me?
They still need people to make deliveries.
I'm in! I'm in!
What's gotten into you?
Ena-chan's hooking me up with a job!
Thanks, Rin-chan and Ena-chan!
Good for you, Nadeshiko-chan.
Yeah, I'm going to work hard!
All right, let's all go celebrate!
Lucky Drink Shop
Yeah!
Okay, please write your name and contact info here.
Okay.
Your checkout time is 10:00 AM tomorrow.
Feel free to use whatever is in the forest for firewood.
Got it!
One, two, three, four...
Two, two, three, four...
Ow!
There.
Do you have work today?
Nope. I'm actually solo camping today.
Oh, really?
What about you?
I'm soloing, too.
I just got to the campsite.
Which one did you go to?
I just got to the campsite. Which one did you go to?
It's a secret.
Why?
Hey, want to guess each other's campsites from our photos?
Sure.
Yay!
I'm here!
It's visible today, huh?
Wait a minute...
Rin-chan!
I'm so glad the weather cleared up!
When camping...
Always mind the campsite and facility rules. Don't forget to take care of fires and your trash!
It gets cold during the winter. Stay warm and be well-prepared!
