The road up the mountain is not bumpy.

There are chestnut mountains leading the way, and there are also traces of the villagers and townspeople walking up the mountain.

Weeds and branches are simply cleaned up, and some markings can be seen from time to time.

As long as you don't go deep into the forest, you won't get lost.

The trucks that went up the mountain temporarily stored their supplies in a family halfway up the mountain, and they were familiar with Lishan, and they also thoughtfully prepared rice balls and barley tea for them.

The enthusiastic mother-in-law also pointed them to the mountain stream suitable for camping with a wide view.

The crowd followed the path down the hill, carefully skirting the hill and heading towards the destination where they had set up camp.

Kindamura carries the most luggage, and he still has time to pick up his mobile phone from time to time to take pictures.

Good physical fitness, strong energy, and such a member is needed to go out to play.

After Narumi Yu came out of the hospital, he insisted on morning exercises. The improvement in physical fitness is only evident at such moments.

"Thank you, Narumi-san......

Holding his mobile phone and drawing board, Shiina took pictures while sketching the outline of the mountains and forests on the drawing board while stopping to rest.

The shoulder bag that I was carrying was hung in front of Narumi You, but it didn't actually weigh much, but the girl's body was too weak, even if she didn't carry anything, she was a little weak just by hurrying.

"Yayoi-san, do you want to hang on me too?" Narumi paused for a moment, and waited for Yayoi Aki behind him to walk next to him and ask.

「…… No, you don't." The white and tender skin really oozes water at this time, and finally slowly slides off.

According to common sense, with Yayoi Akihaya's living environment from childhood to now, his physical strength will not be very bad, at least it should be better than Natsume-sensei and Asahi.

Narumi took out a tissue and wiped her sweat. Yayoi wanted to take the tissue and wipe it himself, but he stuffed a bottle of water in his hand.

"Do you usually drink too much soda? In the future, drink less, and change to other dishes and snacks, and I'll make them for you."

"I just don't like sports, and my physique is prone to sweating."

Yayoi Autumn raised her head early, and the water that she couldn't catch ran down the corner of her mouth, mixed with beads of sweat, dripping on the grass at her feet.

"Thank you."

"It's fine."

"Yo! I'm thirsty, too!" Omada in front of him shouted without looking back.

"And then." He took out a new bottle from his shoulder bag, and when he saw Kontamura, he turned around and threw it away.

"Thank you!"

The bottled water was successfully received, and it swept over Natsume-sensei's head in the middle, startling the teacher.

"Narumi-san! …… Forget it, give the teacher a bottle too."

On the way, the way is blocked by tree branches, and people can pass, but the luggage behind them will be hanged.

Kuriyama skillfully drew a machete from the side of Okitamura's duffel bag and cut off the branches. Narumi Yu walked to the front and wanted to help, but was disgusted by the other party and counted down.

Walking through the forest, I simply marked the trunk of the tree on the way, and walked deep into the forest.

The stream flows through it, separating the trees on both sides, and walking along the river, you can see the reflection of the clear blue sky and white clouds in the water.

Narumi Yu thought of the painting by Miyo Shiina, wondering if there would be fireflies flying all over the sky at night; I don't know if there will be small animals running to drink water in the woods on the other side of the creek.

….

As you walk along the stream, your view gradually widens, and there is no open space where the treetops block the light, and the weeds that reach your ankles are scattered and scattered.

The setting sun hits the blades of grass, stretching the shadows; The stream passed through the gravel, rippling and shimmering.

"Here we are." Kuriyama took a deep breath, stretched out his hands, ran over happily, turned around and said to them.

Omada Muraichi immediately threw his luggage on the ground, regardless of whether he would stain his clothes, and leaned against the foot of the tree. Like the ape man in the woods, he stretched out his voice and shouted freely.

After an afternoon of driving, I was basically exhausted.

After resting, Kuriyama led the way

Tamura went to collect firewood; Asahi Kurako helps Narumi Yu set up the tent; Teacher Natsume took Yayoi Akizao and Shiina Mio to the river to wash vegetables and wash rice, and prepare to make a fire to cook.

As early as the road to the village and town by car, the division of labor has been done well, and the implementation is quite smooth.

"Narumi, are you tied up over there?"

"No problem."

"Good! The second tent has been set up, and it looks like it's just in time before it gets dark."

"Hmm...... Okay." Narumi nodded, looked at the tool in his hand and hesitated.

A fire has already risen next to it.

Twenty-six-year-old, single, and living alone, Natsume-sensei didn't know how to cook, and accidentally roasted the surface of the cut eggplant completely black.

Yayoi Akizao probably ran out of strength, so he was only responsible for cooking the soup, and kept stirring the soup in the pot with a spoon on the side, looking at the eggplant in Natsume Hanai's hand that was almost the same as coal.

"Hey~Kuriyama-san." Narumi Yu couldn't help it, and beckoned to Kuriyama who didn't know what to do next to him, "Your own tent, you come and set it up, I'll cook."

"Huh? Yes? I'm fine with a tent...... But do you know how to cook? Just use one pot." The girl who didn't trust him at all threw "I won't know why you will?" Questioning eyes.

"Just wait and eat."

"Huh? I'm really confident......" Kuriyama took the hammer and ground nail from his hand, "Hmph~ Don't think that this will change my opinion of you and give you the autumn morning sauce."

The latter sentence was completely ignored by Narumi Yu.

Whether they can cook or not is mentioned for the time being, but the fact that they have to cook the soup first when they only have one pot is a little incomprehensible to him.

At the very least, the ingredients can be roasted on wooden skewers and sprinkled with seasonings to accompany the rice.

But now that the pot is boiling thick soup, how to cook the raw rice has become a big problem.

Because it was a hike and most of the people in the team were girls, there were only a lot of things that could be bringed.

"Natsume-sensei...... I'll do it."

"Huh?"

Originally, she was a beautiful teacher who came to take care of the students, but she was hit by the students one after another during the school trip.

Is there something wrong with this unfolding?

It might be nice to write it light......

Boring thoughts flashed through Narumi Yu's mind.

"Yayoi-san, it's time to put the spices."

「…… Forgot, sorry."

"Could it be that Yayoi-san has also burned the ingredients before?"

"You usually have this experience when you learn to cook, right?"

"I didn't, it seems that I was born to be a celebrity chef."

….

「……」

Looking at the flames rising in front of me, I thought about the possibility of cooking rice on the fire with a rice washing basin, and accidentally caught a glimpse of the bento box next to it with the ingredients.

"Yayoi-san, do you mind if I use your bento box to cook rice?"

"Cook rice?"

"It's not troublesome to put it on an iron fence. Now there's soup boiling in the pot, that's all there is to it."

"I don't mind."

"Muraichi! Can you eat enough rice to cook rice in your lunch box?"

"Bento box cooking rice? No problem, just drink two more mouthfuls of soup if you can't eat enough."

The bento boxes of Shiina Mio, Yayoi Akihaya and the three of them were newly bought in the shopping street and have not been used yet. At least this dinner does not have to worry about hygiene.

This is where the benefits of a traditional iron lunch box come in. After the rice is cooked, it has little effect except that the smoke blackens the bottom surface of the bento box.

Narumi took the bento box off the iron net with a tong and hung it, and roasted it with eggplant, peppers, and beef that Okita Murai brought with him, only the size of a meal.

The male high school student, who couldn't wait, stretched out his hand to his lunch box, retracted it like lightning after being scalded, and put his hand into the water again.

Yayoi Autumn took the lunch box that had not been requisitioned and served it to the three girls (including Natsume Hanai) first

Vegetable puree.

The beef is roasted in oil on the iron mesh rack, and the smell of meat wafts out.

The last of the sunset disappeared, and the moon gradually appeared to fall into the stream.

It was completely dark, and Shiina sat by the stream with a drawing board, quietly watching the people around the firewood, and the light of the fire swaying with the figure reflected in his eyes.

"Shiina-san! It's time to eat!"

「…… Hmmm!"

Divide the rice and grilled meat, sprinkle the vegetable skewers with seasonings, and hold them in your hands.

"Wow~! It's delicious!"

"Didn't Kuriyama-san just question that I couldn't cook?"

"I'm sorry, it's my attitude! Autumn morning sauce for you, I just need to barbecue it is enough."

「…… Am I so cheap?"

"Shhh......h Lie to him, wait for him to get carried away, and give me his piece of barbecue, and I will share half of the morning sauce."

"Hey, I can hear me."

"Then please take a moment of amnesia."

「……」

"Sister Asahi, can you eat enough with such a little rice?"

"Kinda! You'd better think before you speak, I don't have the strength to hit you right now, but tomorrow will be different!"

「……」

"Shiina-san's drawings are so beautiful, better than the photos taken by the teacher...... Can you even draw this effect with a pencil? It's amazing."

"Narumi is also very talented in painting, and I was often praised by my teachers in art classes before. My words...... I didn't win a prize in this year's drawing competition."

"Well, maybe it's bad luck? It's okay, with Shiina-san's strength, I will definitely get a gold reward next time."

「……」

……

The chatter of dinner, accompanied by the sound of the water of the stream and the insects in the forest, disappeared into the quiet night......

After the meal, they each went to the creek to brush their lunch boxes, and Narumi Yu and Yayoi Aki carried pots and spoons and iron mesh racks used in barbecue.

….

"Eat clean." Narumi glanced at Yayoi Akiha's hand. He remembered that the skin of those hands was very delicate, and there was not a single trace of the grinding of his hands.

It's like the hand of a noble lady who lives a good life and often takes care of her skin.

"I'm tired after all."

"Shouldn't my cooking be delicious?"

"I made the soup."

"Yayoi-san's cooking is delicious, too."

"......" Yayoi Autumn didn't answer his words early and concentrated on brushing the iron net.

And after that......

As soon as Kindamura was tired, he got into the tent and fell asleep.

Narumi wants to go for a walk along the stream, but the girls have to wash with the stream water and won't let him go out.

So I could only nest in the tent in a daze.

The place where the girls washed was far away from the camp, and he couldn't even hear the sound of water in the tent.

If he is allowed to evaluate, this kind of measure to make boys consciously not allowed to go out of the tent is completely useless to prevent the gentleman and the villain, and at least it is reasonable to leave one person to guard the tent.

He's not a villain either, though, so there's nothing wrong with that.

"Ah~~!

Suddenly, a scream from Natsume-sensei rang out.

Narumi ran out after two or three seconds of entanglement, walked a few steps along the stream, and was relieved to see from a distance that the five people were all safe.

Because there is a shower shelter, you don't have to worry about seeing too many things that you shouldn't see.

Back in the tent, I turned on my phone and looked at it.

Able to locate, but not in the service area, there is no communication signal.

Muraichi Konda's game console also brought, and he was able to play some stand-alone puzzle games.

I have a power bank in my backpack, so I should be fine with a game of Snake...... When a life dies, it ends.

With such a mentality, the greedy snake, which has a strong desire to survive, flexibly turns and clings to the wall

And his body continues to move forward steadily, controlling the position where the apple appears.

Finally fill the entire screen.

「……」

I'm sorry, Muraichi.

I don't know how long it took, and he counted the stars in the sky through the transparent plastic window of the tent.

Two hundred and twenty-seven, the number of stars in the range framed by the small window, was counted five times by him.

As he was about to count for the sixth time, the sound of the girls coming back could finally be heard outside the tent.

"I didn't expect Natsume-sensei to be so timid...... It's so cute...... I also want to go to Mikagehama High School, what should I do!"

"Probably won't be able to get up."

"What about music specialists? Our band even won third place at the Kyoto Rising Star Contest this summer."

"In that competition, there was only a band of high school students, and the level was not enough."

"That's pretty good, isn't it?"

"The high school band competition must be at least the top three in the country, and Mikagehama High School is a place where the law of the jungle eats the strong."

That's what Yu Narumi heard.

Shiina Weiyang and Asahi Kurako also spoke quietly, but they were completely muffled by Kuriyamato's clear voice.

Natsume-sensei is probably still ashamed of his screams......

"Narumi-san? Omada-san? Slept? If you haven't slept yet, you can go and wash up briefly...... We've finished washing."

「……」

He lifted the tent, first made eye contact with the teacher, then looked around. The other four girls had already entered the tent.

….

The blush on Natsume's face hadn't completely faded, and her half-dried hair was tied up in a ball.

"Murakachi he has already slept, I can't sleep, so I'll go wash up and take a break by the way."

"Well, stay safe......

"Did Natsume-sensei slip in the stream just now?"

"Kuriyama-san caught me, and I wasn't hurt." Teacher Natsume replied subconsciously, and then he reacted, and his screams were even heard by the students in the tent.

"Don't worry, Muraichi Konda was already asleep by then. Only I hear, and I will never spread it, as if no one hears."

"Let Narumi-san see the joke...... A rabbit came out of the woods and scared me...... Narumi-san, too, should be careful, maybe there are other animals besides rabbits."

"No problem."

There are really rabbits......

It's just a pity that there are no fireflies, and there are no old shrines, torii gates, and shrine maidens.

The shower bag is filled with water and hung in the shower shed to be able to stand and rinse off. The principle is to inflate the shower bag with your feet and give enough pressure to spray the water inside.

[To tell the truth, I've been using @

head, shaking his head when he didn't fall asleep."

Neko gave him a disdainful look and shook her head.

"So, what's wrong with me?"

"Meow!" Neko nodded as she spoke.

Then, jumping off the rocks and into the woods on the other side of the creek.

"Meow!"

This time Narumi Yu understood.

It's for him to keep up.

I'm in Tokyo to save a beautiful girl with a dream.
