What gorgeous weather, zura! The sky is so blue today.

Yeah. The breeze feels nice and the temperature is perfect, too. You couldn't ask for a better day to go on a hike.

Oh, thank goodness. I'm really glad I made all those rain dolls…

*Giggle* Thanks! Looks like the gods granted their lovely former angel's wish.

Hmph.

Umi, don't be so grumpy. You don't want the gods to change their minds.

Umi, you've looked borderline furious for a while now. What's wrong, zura?

What do you mean, what's wrong? We've been here for ten minutes and Kanata still isn't here!

Ten minutes isn't that long.

I wonder what's keeping her. Maybe something happened while she was on her way here?

I haven't gotten any messages from her. This is a little concerning.

I suppose, but remember, it's Kanata we're talking about. It's quite possible that she only just woke up. She could've gotten tired simply thinking about coming out here.

Whatever the case, we need to ask her exactly what happened. We might have to have a little chat later on depending on what she says.

Umi's body is radiating a terrifying black aura!

Hold on, Umi! Look!

What? K-Kanata!

Morning!

Good morning, Kanata.

Sorry, sorry. I was planning to get here on time, but it took longer than I thought to make this.

Wow, that is one ginormous bag. What's in it?

Lunch! Exercise works up your appetite, right? I made enough of Kanata's Special Hiking Lunch for everyone!

Holy cow! You made all of this yourself, zura?

Of course. I made a lot of food, so don't be shy about eating your fill, okay?

Thank you! Everything you make is delicious. I can't wait to eat it.

Kanata… I can't believe I said those foolish things when you were doing all of this for us.

What's wrong?

N-Nothing. Thank you, Kanata.

No problem! Sorry I didn't text when I started running late.

Looks like everyone's here now.

Yes. Well, we were slightly delayed, but let's get going. Our hike awaits!
