Summer Splash 2

Yuzuru: (...I have completed the end of day report as well. Now all that is left is to meet up with the others.)

Yuzuru: (I asked Keito-sama and Hiiro-sama to go ahead of me, so…Oh?)

Hiiro: He~llo, Fushimi-senpai! This way!

Yuzuru: Ah, my deepest apologies for the wait.

Aira: No prob at all. Here, the menu.

Yuzuru: Thank you very much… Then I shall settle for this lunch set.

Mika: Ah, that's the same one as mine~ Naru-chan said that the karaage that comes with this lunch set is super tasty. I can't wait to try ♪

Mika: Nn~? Hasumi-senpai, where ya goin'?

Keito: Just a minute. I'll be back soon.

Aira: He walked towards the entrance. Seems like he's talking to…Kiryuu-senpai?

Hiiro: Buchou is also there. He's coming back with them.

Keito: Kiryuu and Nagumo came here to have lunch as well… But it looks like the seats are all filled.

Keito: Luckily, our table is quite big and we have extra space. So would you mind sharing with these two?

Hiiro: I see. Let's welcome them with pleasure.

Hiiro: Let's all clap our hands! After all, that's the correct way to receive someone.

Tetora: No, no… That's embarrassing so please stop it.

Tetora: I'll talk to the waiter and get two extra chairs, Taishou.

Kuro: Yeah, I'm leavin’ that to ya… But this is certainly an odd group. What's the reason behind it, Hasumi?

Keito: "Keito Lectures".

Kuro: "Keito Lectures"... Ah, now I remember. Isn't that the study circle ya organised, Danna?

Keito: Correct. Are you interested in joining as well?

Kuro: No way. Yer well aware that studyin’ isn't ma strong point.

Tetora: Taishou~ I've borrowed the chairs! I also placed the orders while at it.

Kuro: Thanks, Tetsu. Heave-ho…There.

Hiiro: Our circle isn't just for studying, Kiryuu-senpai. You see, today we learned about traffic rules.

Tetora: Traffic Rules? You mean stuff like "you should raise your hand before using the crosswalk~"?

Tetora: That's nostalgic~ I remember learning them in elementary school's traffic safety classes.

Kuro: Me too. Well, I mean, that's what yer being taught? Yer not kids.

Keito: Hm. But things like having to keep to the right side when there's no footpath—People surprisingly forget about them?

Keito: Actually, I had only planned to do a review. But Amagi seemed to be learning by feel, so it was actually worth teaching.

Keito: When I see this guy, I get reminded of how Kanzaki used to be. His earnest single-mindedness is praiseworthy, but his common sense wanes here and there.

Keito: He's very quick on the uptake, and his ambition makes you want to improve yourself as well. However, I'm worried that his lack of common sense may get him in some kind of unforseen trouble.

Tetora: Ah~ …I get Hasumi-senpai's feelings… I can kinda see what you mean.

Tetora: Even in the karate club and at "Shin", he can act strange sometimes~ He always catches you off-guard.

Kuro: So far, there's been no real harm. And thinkin’ ‘bout it, it’s actually kinda amusin’ to watch. Danna, were you able to do somethin’ about schoolin’ him?

Keito: Hard to tell. He's putting effort into it, but there are things you can't learn solely by sitting in a classroom.

Keito: In order to understand how much Amagi has adapted to society, maybe it's time to consider some hands-on training…?

Kuro: Hands-on trainin’… Hey, what do ya think ‘bout "Keito Lectures" going on an outin’?

Kuro: Everyone in the "Overnight Outdoors Party" I belong to doesn't keep up with social norms, so at first even decidin’ on our destination was a pain.

Kuro: But as we continued our activities, we came to understand one another's habits. Now we’ve settled down and are havin’ fun.

Kuro: Danna's circle should also go on a trip to some faraway place. Livin’ together, even for just two days and a night, can improve everyone's cooperativeness, and the journey to your destination can also be educational, don’tcha think?

Keito: Hm… Then what about going to the mountains and meditating under a waterfall?

Kuro: Oi, oi. Not everyone's Kanzaki… That's too much for an ordinary person.

Keito: But I can't think of anything else. I rarely leave my home area so I don't know anything about these "outing spots".

Kuro: I see. Then what about an average campin’?

Kuro: There's a campsite we often use at "Overnight Outdoors Party." It’s aimed for beginners, so there's a lot of services offered.

Kuro: An instructor is permanently stationed in a control office, so ya can consult them whenever yer in trouble. And ya can also borrow everythin’ ya need for campin’, from tents to cookin’ utensils.

Kuro: If ya ever run out of food, ya can get them from a nearby convenience store. So it's famous for bein’ enjoyable even if ya arrive empty-handed.

Keito: Huh, tell me all the details.

Mika: …Hasumi-senpai ‘n Kiryuu-senpai seem excited discussin' ‘bout campin', huh?

Hiiro: Yes. By the way, what is this "camping"?

Aira: What? So you were silently listening without knowing what it was?

Hiiro: Umu, interrupting a conversation is not good, after all. I want you to tell me what camping is.

Aira: Um, how do I explain… It's like… Sleeping outdoors?

Yuzuru: If I had to explain it, I would say that its definition is closer to an encampment. We use a tent—A simple house made of cloth.

Hiiro: If it's about sleeping outdoors, then I have knowledge about it. Since we have a custom of hunting back in my hometown. In that case, are we planning to go hunting?

Hiiro: Fufu, I'm looking forward to it. I'm always being taught by everyone… But maybe I’ll finally be of use to others…♪
