Dear Saya and Mizuki,

I've arrived in Nagano.

My first multi-day trip is about to start.

You're drinking already? No fair!

What? You want one, too?

Here.

Oh, thank you!

How about some snacks to go with this?

I prepped these this morning.

Mix them together, and...

A crunchy and spicy cream cheese
bowl that pairs with beer!

Let's see.

The softness of the cream cheese combines
with the crunchiness to give it a fun texture.

The black pepper gives it a kick
and goes great with beer.

This is...

So good!

Episode 9 Occasionally, Like a Master

Okay, let's get set up.

But this whole area is on a slight incline.

Yeah. Compared to designated campsites,

undesignated campsites
frequently aren't leveled.

Nothing beats a great view from your tent,
but there are still a few things to avoid.

First, sandbanks.

Some areas are recognized as safe,
but should the water rise,

the area could flood, endangering lives.

Next, the bottoms of cliffs.

Falling rocks and landslides
are always a possibility.

Be especially careful in areas
with signs of previously fallen rock.

Next, areas with poor drainage.

Though the risk to your life is low,
the area could become flooded if it rains.

This applies to areas with highly
absorbent clay or red soil.

Terrain with good drainage,
such as gravel, is preferable.

It's also good to avoid slopes, uneven terrain,

or places where tree roots stick out of
the ground, as they make it hard to sleep.

Places not designated as campsites
are out of the question.

I see.

But you won't always find flat ground.

In that case, find the
flattest terrain possible...

And set up so your head is uphill, right?

You're starting to get it.

Lying across the slope makes it
hard to turn in your sleep,

which can be a surprising source of stress.

Even if you do manage to turn over,
it could be dangerous.

Got it.

It's getting warmer, but
it's still cold in the highlands.

I'd like to get a campfire started, but...

I bought a nata.

Why are you acting like that?

I wanted something to split firewood.

I thought about getting a knife,
but I decided on a nata.

I'll be battling with this!

It's "batoning."

Who were you planning to fight, anyway?

I did my own research this time,
so I'll give it a shot.

Ow! I got a splinter!

Is she gonna be okay?

First, get a piece of firewood
or stone to serve as a base.

Next, place the blade to cut along
the grain of the firewood.

Turn the nata so it's parallel to your body.

Strike the back of the nata at a 90-degree
angle so it digs into the firewood,

and continue striking the
exposed part of the nata.

Make sure the blade remains
parallel to the ground.

I did it!

All right. I just have to keep doing this.

Time to start a campfire!

Hold on.

Wh-What is it?

Do you remember what "low impact" means?

Yes, of course.

It means reducing the damage
done to the environment.

Here.

What is this?

A spatter sheet.

It reduces the heat that reaches the ground.

Come to think of it,
you always use one of these.

Even a stand doesn't reduce
the impact on the ground to zero.

On grassy campsites in particular,
using a spatter sheet protects the ground

from radiation heat and burning firewood.

We're having fun with nature.

With a little bit of care,
there are things we can protect.

That's one way to do it.

You can have that one.

Use it whenever you're at a grassy campsite.

You're sure I can keep this?

I shouldn't...

It's fine.

I just felt like doing something
a master would do.

I believe that what a camper
needs most is the right mindset.

You can't just have fun.

You mustn't forget your
gratitude for and fear of nature.

As long as you're grateful, you'll never
forget how huge or terrifying it is.

That piece of gear is one way
to remind yourself to be grateful.

Think of it as a message from me.

Keep it.

Okay.

It's because of how he teaches me
that I can keep that in mind.

Gratitude for both nature...

and Gen-san.

Okay, our first dish for dinner is ready.

Two types of fresh seafood spring rolls
in a landlocked prefecture!

Fresh spring rolls?

You don't seem too happy.

Oh, uh...

I'd been cooking mostly meat
since I assumed you preferred that,

but today we're having seafood.

It's only the first day, so
raw-ish food should still be fine.

Now, let's eat.

Well, they do look good.

Down the hatch.

So good!

The avocado, smoked salmon, and cheese

blend together to create a
rich and delicious flavor.

The crisp vegetables serve
as a great accent, too.

How about these?

So good!

Tuna tataki with Japanese
vegetables is always a winner.

And it goes great with wasabi soy sauce.

The first night of our
multi-day trip isn't over yet.

Vietnamese acqua pazza
with fragrant cilantro!

Vietnamese acqua pazza?

Fresh spring rolls are Vietnamese, too.

This time, I focused on Vietnamese dishes.

Here. This is yours.

Smells like cilantro and fish sauce.

Well, I don't dislike those.

Let's see.

So good!

I wasn't sure if fish could
beat meat, but it's good.

The taste of the fish sauce
and the cilantro's aroma...

The instantly ethnic flavor is great.

It's on the rich side
and goes great with beer.

This is good. I need another bite.

No, wait!

Let's not waste this opportunity to have that.

Have what?

You know, what I just used
to make the acqua pazza.

Oh, that.

Nothing pairs with acqua pazza
better than white wine.

So good!

Acqua pazza and a refreshing
white wine go great together.

We have to have some of this, too.

You can't eat acqua pazza without...

French bread!

You can dip it in the sauce...

Yum!

...or cover it with toppings and grated cheese.

So good!

G-Give me some of that.

Okay, okay.

With the bread, that was pretty filling.

Thanks for the food.

Not at all.

Well, it's a bit early,
but I'm going to sleep.

It really is early.

I thought I'd watch the sunrise tomorrow.

Oh, great idea!

Then I'll go to bed soon, too.

Got it.

Oh, right.

The real charm of multi-day trips
starts on the second day.

I hope you're excited for it.

Good morning, Gen-san.

You're awake?

What are you doing with that?

Making coffee. Want some?

Yes, please.

By the way, you mentioned the
true charm of multi-day trips...

It's coming up.

The true charm of multi-day trips is time.

You don't have to check in or out.

The true charm of multi-day trips
is this unhurried luxurious time.

Luxurious time...

So I'm going to sleep.

What? Um...

He actually went to sleep.

He's not wrong, though.

Waking up just to see the sunrise
and going back to bed...

This free time is the true
charm of multi-day trips.

But I'm wide awake now.

Maybe I'll have breakfast.

Did she go somewhere?

It's not even noon yet.

But...

I should be heading back.

So good!

It's still a little cold.

I'll head back.

Gen-san, what a coincidence!

What were you doing?

Hey, Shizuku.

I bought some more drinks.

What have you been doing?

I took a walk and did some reading.

I found a spot with a nice view over there.

Gen-san, have you been drinking?

Yeah...

You were drinking by yourself?

So what if I was?

Huh?

I was a bit cold until a second ago,
but I feel kind of warm now.

What is it?

Those drinks will taste
way better with my cooking.

I hope you're excited.

Get ready for our second day's meal!

I don't particularly care for cooking.

I love eating good food, of course,
but my laziness wins out.

I know everyone has their own idea of
what's fun, I don't really get cooking.

But watching her enjoy cooking makes me think
this is what it means to enjoy hard work.

This will take some time,

so I'll start working on the next dish.

She always has so much fun cooking.

Maybe I'll try making a proper meal
the next time I go solo camping.

Finally, scorch it, then cover it with sauce...

and it's done!

Frying pan corned beef croquette!

The toasted panko and cheese are so fragrant.

And the smell of the sauce whets the appetite.

It makes my stomach growl.

Let's see.

So good!

At a glance, it just seems
like layered ingredients,

but I can taste each one as they combine
to become a croquette in my mouth.

I normally try not to make
leftovers while camping,

but since we're staying multiple days,
I thought I could take the opposite approach.

I saved some bread from yesterday
so I could use it today.

That's how I came up with this menu.

I see. That's a good idea.

Since I'm reusing ingredients,
I thought I'd reuse cooking utensils, too.

It may be small, but this
Dutch oven is still heavy.

It'd be a waste not to use it both days.

Anyway, this should be just about ready.

Shizuku-style mini beer can chicken!

Mini beer can chicken?

That's right.

It's a simplified version of cooking a
whole chicken with a mini can of beer.

Let's see.

So good!

Well, that's enough for me.

Oh, yeah? You're going to bed early today.

It's a bit chilly, so I thought I'd snuggle
up in my sleeping bag and read.

Goodnight.

Hey.

What is it?

Oh, uh...

If you need anything, let me know.

Gotta pee.

Maybe the cold woke me up.

Huh?

What is this?

The fog's so thick.

Come to think of it, I thought
I heard rain as I was falling asleep.

I can't see more than ten meters out.

W-Well, I'm just going to the bathroom.

I'll be fine.

This is too scary!

How is the visibility this poor?

That alone makes this so creepy!

I grew up in the mountains, but I've never
walked around with such poor visibility.

Oh, but I need to pee.

What should I do?

I can't wake Gen-san.

If you need anything, let me know.

Did he mean...

Gen-san. Gen-san.

Gen-san, excuse me.

Is that you, Shizuku?

Give me a minute.

S-Sorry.

This is some crazy fog.

I figured it'd rain when I saw yesterday's
clouds, but this is foggier than I expected.

Anyway, uh...

You need to piss?

Y-Yes, but do you have to say it like that?!

Well, I thought this might happen.

Then is that what you meant yesterday?

The weather changes quickly in the mountains.

Sometimes you feel like you're
inside the clouds, like this.

Inside the clouds...

When wind blows across flat
land and hits mountains,

Mountain - Ocean - Vapor - Damp Air - Becomes Updraft - Collision

it creates an updraft
that rises up the mountain.

Updraft

As the moisture in the air carried by the
updraft heads toward the cool mountain peak,

Water Vapor - Change - Low - Temperature - High - Drops of Water

it turns into drops of water.

Cloud

Thick masses of water droplets form clouds.

If the air is dry,
clouds don't form right away,

but this is what happens when it's humid.

I-I see.

Sometimes, clouds can form even when
the weather was originally pleasant.

Solar Radiation - Updraft - Cloud

When the mountain's surface is heated by
the sun, the water in the air expands,

becoming lighter than the air
around it and causing updrafts.

S-Sorry! I need to use the bathroom first!

S-Sure.

Sorry. Wait a minute.

We'll need a light first.

They say to be careful
when hiking in heavy fog,

but a campsite won't have many steep cliffs.

But it's still dangerous
to walk around like normal.

Move carefully while shining
the light on the ground,

no matter how badly you need to piss.

P-Please stop saying "piss"!

Headlamps are a useful item
at poorly lit campsites

for setting up, cooking,
eating, and getting around,

as they move with your line of sight
and leave your hands free.

White light disperses in dense fog,
so it's easier to see with a warm-colored light.

Since red lights don't provide much light,
it's advisable to get one

that can switch between colors
depending on the situation.

Look. We're almost there.

I-I'll be right back!

W-Wait here, okay?

Hurry up and go.

I guess I'll go back to sleep.

See you later.

It'd be nice if the fog cleared up some.

U-Um...

Er... I...

What is it?

C-Could you stay with me until I fall asleep?

What are you, a child?!

But it's scarier than I thought!

Oh, fine. Just get back in bed.

I'll stay in front of your tent for a while.

Th-Thank you!

Um, I'm sorry for asking you to do this.

I thought I was used to it,

but I suddenly felt like I was in
a strange place and got scared.

I get it. I've experienced that before.

When I was a kid, I used to
go camping a lot with my dad.

I woke up and went outside, and
everything was white, like it is today.

I'd experienced some light fog before,

but that was the first time
I couldn't see my surroundings.

I felt like I'd wandered into another world.

I went crying to my dad.

I remember him laughing at me.

You were like that once, huh?

Shut up. I was a kid.

Even sights you're used to
seeing can suddenly change.

The outdoors is massive.

So huge, we're powerless against it.

I found the sight of Gen-san
proudly talking about

how terrifying nature could be oddly striking.

Gen-san.

The fog cleared up.

Yeah. I'm glad it did before we left.

Um, thank you for this morning.

Don't worry about it.

You should start cleaning up, too.

Okay.

When we travel farther,
we end up leaving together, too.

This camping trip was fun, too.

The meals were a huge success.

Gen-san's childhood, huh?

Now that I think about it,
I don't know much about Gen-san.

I doubt he'd appreciate me asking about it,

but that was the first time
Gen-san told me about his past.

Who is that?

What happened between
Gen-san and this pretty lady?
