Original subtitles

Now you don't have to worry about it either.

I'm glad it was a misunderstanding.

I can't tell him what my real feelings are now.

What is "love" anyway?

Are you sure you just want to give up on it?

The perfect chance to tell him your feelings is coming.

School camp!

Mother nature…

Lend me your strength!

-I think it's impossible. -Hey, do you think I can get a girlfriend?

You look like an assassin after his prey.

Keep that up and Ida will reject you before you confess.

Not so loud! Ida will hear you!

Now, relax, would you?

Since this is school camp,

I'll try some flirting too!

Say, your bags look heavy. Want me to carry them?

-Will you? -Yeah.

-Really? -Actually, I'm lying.

What? Buzz off.

If only I could be so lighthearted.

I'm jealous too.

Hashimoto, you've descended into the dark side.

Why don't you confess your love to him here at camp?

It's a pretty cheerful atmosphere, so I'm sure it'll go well.

A coward like you has no right to tell me things like that.

I'll admit, all I've done is be cowardly and give up.

Oh, I'm sorry! I went too far, Aoki!

It's okay. It's the truth, after all.

We're cowardly and give up easily.

We're very similar in that way.

I heard something from one of the seniors…

We've all been told that school camp is a magical time when new love blossoms.

But he said that's a lie meant to deceive us students!

What waits for us isn't some magical time.

It's hellish, cruel orienteering!

We'll now begin the traditional

Higashigaoka High School orienteering event.

Once again this year, instruction will be provided

by former Self-Defense Force member and skilled wilderness survivalist,

Mr. Akutsu.

Is that…

supposed to be mother nature?

You people!

Quit your grumbling!

"You people"?

Repeat after me!

Those victorious in the wilderness are victorious in exams!

"Those victorious in the wilderness--"

I can't hear you!

Those victorious in the wilderness are victorious in exams!

"Those victorious in the wilderness are victorious in exams."

Those victorious in the wilderness are victorious in life!

"Those victorious in the wilderness are victorious in life."

Excellent!

You people will now conduct orienteering!

That sounds like fun.

The rules are simple!

You'll enter the wilderness

and obtain raw cooking ingredients at the checkpoints on your map.

"Ingredients"?

You have until 4 p.m. to complete the mission.

After returning to camp, each person will dine on the ingredients they obtained.

That is all!

That's all?

What? We'll cook for ourselves?

Excuse me. Can I ask a question?

What is it?

What happens if we don't bring back any ingredients?

Do as you like!

-Huh? -What?

You won't have anything to eat.

That is all.

What?

You people will do this for two days!

Two days?

That's the whole camp!

Mr. Taniguchi!

This is hopeless!

He's totally following that soldier's lead.

This is today's map!

SCHOOL CAMP

This is weird.

Wow! They're all really far apart.

If all of you aren't back here by 4 p.m., we'll confiscate all the ingredients.

Get started!

Be careful. The weather changes quickly in the mountains.

This is insane.

How can I confess to him when I have to do all this?

EPISODE 5

I'll get all of them!

We'll go that way.

-Good luck. -Bye.

If we get everything, I think it makes beef curry!

You only realized that now?

I can hardly wait! Let's go!

Okay.

It must be up ahead.

-We can take a shortcut through here. -Yeah. Let's do that.

Did you find it?

Wait! Are you going to be okay?

-I found them! -All right!

There. Next.

Curry roux, huh?

Are you sure this is the right way?

If we've got this, then we can survive somehow.

Huh? Where did Hasshi go?

Huh? Should we look for her?

Hey!

Forget about Hasshi. Find the curry roux!

Hey. Isn't that the roux?

Yeah. We've got this made.

-Let's go. -Yeah.

It's okay! Trust me!

-I can't! I'm scared! -Rumi!

Excuse me. Coming through. Sorry.

We found the meat!

-That's everything. -Yay!

-Want to go back? -Yeah.

Ida, I'm exhausted. Carry me.

What? Why?

Aoki, are you all right?

Sorry, but I can't stand insects!

I've got no stamina and I've got no sense of direction.

I absolutely can't stand orienteering!

And this map is so hard to read too!

Is it over there?

Hey! Do I have a spider on me?

-A spider? -A spider!

Is there a spider on me?

Ow! Did you get it?

Sorry. It was just some bark.

-If it was a spider, it would go splat! -Oh, right.

Is there one on me?

RANK D AOKI, HASHIMOTO

This meat is amazing!

It looks really good!

-Let's make the best vegetable curry ever! -Shut up.

Without meat or roux, is it even curry?

Let's just make a stir fry. That's good enough.

How pathetic.

How did camp turn out like this?

Aoki, if you cry, you'll get even hungrier.

Forget about that. Let's do our best to make this delicious!

Thank goodness we can use all the condiments we like.

Oh, that's right. You're in the home econ club.

But I've never made a dish with just carrots.

-It looks good. -Yeah. It does.

-This looks great! -Yeah. Thank you for the meal.

Thank you for the meal!

These carrots are awesome!

Hey! You two doing all right?

Aida…

Ida.

It seems like it's been so long since we saw you.

Eat up. You won't last if that's all you're eating.

Ida…

Ida!

Thank you so much!

Words can't express my gratitude!

All right. Now just calm down.

You eat too, Hashimoto. I was also in rank A.

What? Why are you speechless and crying?

Sorry. I was so overcome with emotion.

If that cruel instructor finds out, we'll be in trouble.

So eat it quietly.

This is so good, I could die.

Cruel training like this is so out of date, you know.

Let me know if you're ever in trouble.

SCHOOL CAMP

This is today's map!

The course is even more difficult than yesterday.

What's this?

You've learned to read the wilderness, have you?

At least change the meal.

-Yeah, like beef stew. -That's hardly any different.

You sure are looking confident.

Okay, you people!

Get out there again today and battle the wilderness!

Get going!

Get a move on! What's with you people? Time is short!

-Get going! -Rumi!

Everyone's in a frenzy!

We'll die unless we eat.

My primitive instincts have been awakened!

Hiromu, you're so rugged!

Let's go!

Let's get going too. I don't want to cause Ida trouble again.

Me too. I don't want to cause Aida trouble.

Okay!

AOKI, HASHIMOTO

How pathetic.

-It's because I'm so slow. I'm sorry. -No. It's because I'm afraid of insects.

-No, it's my fault. -No, it's my fault too.

Say…

Let's all cook together.

It's natural that everyone's stamina and map reading ability are different.

So I think it's crazy to rank people by that kind of thing.

Ida…

You really are a totally kind dude!

But how will we do it?

We'll gather everyone's ingredients,

cook curry in this big pot, and cook the rice together.

Then we'll split it evenly among everyone.

I'm in favor of that!

It doesn't taste any good if we're the only ones eating our fill.

That's a great idea! Don't you think?

Okay! Everyone put the cut vegetables in here!

We'll cook all the rice over here.

Right!

-Thanks. -Everyone!

Sorry.

Thanks for doing this for us.

We don't mind.

It'll be a good memory for everyone!

-Thanks. -Speed it up.

Vegetables, please.

-Thank you. -You people!

You're sharing with the whole class?

We can decide for ourselves how we use the ingredients, right?

You pass!

-Huh? -Huh?

You have defeated the brutality of the wilderness

with the gentleness of humanity.

You are victorious!

What?

Sorry. This was a kind of game

to see if the class could work together as a team.

Since you all did such a good job of sharing the curry,

the game is over!

"The game is over"?

We've got prizes for the victorious!

What? Meat?

There's even yakisoba.

Those are soft drinks too, right?

To the victors go the spoils!

-Yahoo! -Yahoo!

Enjoy the rest of camp to your heart's content!

-All right! -Yay!

I think the era of cruel training has passed.

Looking at them, it seems like it's no longer necessary.

-I'm glad. -Huh?

To be honest, I don't like being cruel either.

Oh, is that right?

There.

We'll help wash.

No, it's all right.

You all worked together to help us.

-It's the least we can do. -Yeah.

Really? Okay. Let's go.

-Thank you. -Thank you too.

Okay.

Conserve water.

Aoki. Hashimoto.

Do you know why you two didn't do well?

Because I hate insects and can't read maps!

Because I lack stamina!

The wilderness treats all humans equally.

Your abilities don't matter.

Then why did we fail?

Because…

you are cowards.

You make excuses and give up before you take any action.

Be courageous and take that first step.

Once you start walking, you will find a way for sure.

-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!

It's just like Mr. Akutsu said.

We gave up without even trying.

I'll tell Ida I like him.

Aoki…

I have to change.

-I'm exhausted. -Sanshiro, you have any snacks?

What do you want to talk about?

Gee… The night sky sure is beautiful.

I think it's raining a little.

Even though it's raining,

the air is so clean.

So what did you want to talk about?

Well, you see…

About the eraser incident…

Remember how you said you were glad it was a misunderstanding?

Because of that, I couldn't say this then…

It's all resolved now.

Now you don't have to worry about it either.

I'm glad it was a misunderstanding.

Huh? Did I say that?

Yes, you did! On the roof!

You don't remember?

It really hurt me!

Right!

What I meant was that I was glad it was resolved since it was worrying you.

Huh? That's all?

Yeah, that's all.

Well, that's good, but…

Huh?

Did you just say you were hurt?

Yes, I did!

What?

Then that eraser thing wasn't a misunderstanding?

Well, you see…

At first, it was a misunderstanding.

But then…

I actually started to…

li…

li…

-Li… -"Li"?

I can't do this! It's too embarrassing!

Let me say it from farther away!

I have…

I have--

You're too far away for me to hear!

I…

have…

What?

I'm trying! You see…

I really have fallen in love with you!

-Too close! -Watch out!

I thought I was going to die.

Ida! Ida!

This can't be true!

Don't leave me! Ida!

Don't assume I'm dead.

Huh? You're alive?

Yeah, I'm alive.

Thank goodness!

Wait! Are you hurt? Did you hit your head?

I'm okay.

-How about you? -I'm fine.

If you died, I couldn't go on.

Just kidding!

Sorry.

I've done nothing but cause you trouble.

That's not true.

It was the same with the eraser thing.

Huh?

At first, it was a misunderstanding,

but you thought about it seriously.

It made me realize how kind you are.

At that time,

I'd just had my heart broken.

Your kindness affected me a lot.

And then…

I honestly fell in love…

with you.

I know it's a little late for this,

so you probably don't believe me.

Give me a straight answer.

I don't want to cause you more trouble.

I can tell you're serious about this.

Why don't we try being a couple?

What? What did you just say?

I said, "Why don't we try being a couple?"

Are you sure you didn't hit your head and damage your brain?

That's rude!

Who wouldn't be happy to be confessed to like that?

I can't just ignore you.

What? You can't ignore me? That's all I am to you?

What happened to "think this over properly"?

I did. And after thinking it over,

I realized that some things can't be answered just by thinking.

What does that mean? Are you stupid?

At any rate, since you were serious in the way you told me,

I wanted to acknowledge it.

Is that not a good enough reason for us to be a couple?

No, it's good enough.

I guess it stopped raining.

Yeah.

You got everything?

Yeah.

Our school camp ended and my confession of love was complete.

I can't imagine what'll happen next,

but at any rate…

thank you, mother nature!

THIS DRAMA IS A WORK OF FICTION.
