*THE NEXT DAY*
*TOKYO TELEPORT STATION - ODAIBA - TOKYO*
AYUMU: "Thank goodness the weather is so nice."
AKI: "Yeah. It's a great day to go camping. We'll take tons of video footage for our 'Nijigasaki Passions' campaign, too."
SETSUNA: "I studied as hard as I could to learn all there is about camping. I'm eager to show you what I learned!"
LANZHU: "Just leave the food to Lanzhu! Look! She's got all this meat ready too!"
AI: "Whoa, that's a LOT! We'll be able to eat like kings with all of this!
Oh yeah, I found a video about starting a fire with wooden sticks. We've gotta give it a try!"
AKI: "So technology is unimportant now?"
SETSUNA: "I just remembered I summarized how to set up a fire in my notebook while watching an anime. Please refer to it all you like!"
LANZHU: "Then we can grill meat up one chop after another with the fire you two set up! We'd better film the whole thing and eat out fill too!"
AKI: "Sure. Sounds exciting, right, Ayu?"
AYUMU: "I really...have to focus..."
AKI: "Huh?"
AYUMU: "U-Um, it's nothing. Hey, look! The second-years from the Basketball Club are here with Captain Rio!"
RIO: "Good morning! Were you waiting long for us?"
AI: "No, no, not at all! Let's have another great day together, you guys!"
AKI: "Thanks for letting us know about the second-years camping trip. I had no idea about it beforehand."
RIO: "Hey, relax. Let's all just have fun together! The other second-year students should be at the campsite already."
...
*CAMPSITE - STAR VILLAGE - ICHIHARA - CHIBA PREFECTURE*
AYUMU: "Mm, that's some clean air!"
AKI: "The breeze feels nice."
RIO: "Can you guys set up your tents okay?"
AKI: "Tents?"
SETSUNA: "Let me take care of it! I have a comprehensive guide to camping right here in my notebook!"
RIO: "Whoa, I see you've done your homework. Well done! I'll let you set them up then. Call on us if you need any help."
AKI: "Wait, Rio, what do you mean by tents? We only have one."
RIO: "Hm? But where will you sleep?"
AKI: "Huh?"
RIO: "Didn't you know the rules? Boys and girls can't share the same tent."
AKI: "You're kidding."
RIO: "No, I'm serious. Rules are rules."
AKI: "..."
AYUMU: "That's a shame. But where will Aki sleep?"
Nobody's gonna stand up for me...?
They're just going to accept this...?
*Sigh*
AKI: "I-It's fine, Ayu. What could compare to just lying out under the stars?"
AYUMU: "Okay. If you're fine with that..."
LANZHU: "Lanzhu will assist you with the tent, Setsuna! What should she do?"
SETSUNA: "Let me see... First, we need to work the tent pole through the tent."
AI: "Okey-dokey. Wait... I think this one comes with a pole already set up inside it."
SETSUNA: "Huh?"
AYUMU: "There are instructions right here. It says that you can set it up with the press of a button."
SETSUNA: "You can?! Th-Then let me take a look at those instructions to set it up..."
AI: "We have to lay the tarp down first. You hold that part, Ayumu."
AYUMU: "Okay. Got it! Lanzhu, could you help me with this part here?"
LANZHU: "But of course! What do you need Lanzhu to do?"
AYUMU: "Hold this part taut."
LANZHU: "All right!"
AKI: "The touch of a button, huh? Is this it? Boop.
...Huh?"
AYUMU: "Hang on for a moment while I check the instructions. Um... Like this, maybe?"
AKI: "I think you've got it."
SETSUNA: "Now we have to secure it with the ropes. I saw this part in the anime... Hup!"
LANZHU: "That looks so fun! Lanzhu shall do it too!"
AYUMU: "W-Wait! I think the pegs are facing the wrong way!"
AI: "Looks that way, yeah. If we leave them be, the rope will become undone."
SETSUNA: "What?! I-I'm sorry. I couldn't tell which way the pegs were facing in the anime..."
AKI: "I guess this is what happens when you rely on fiction instead of reality."
LANZHU: "Don't fret! All we need to do is adjust them! C'mon, Setsuna, let's do it!"
SETSUNA: "Okay!"
