Over here!

Z-Zuraaaa! A field full of flowers!

It's spectacular!

I chanced upon it on my way back from greeting the mountain gods. Beauty has the power to restore the soul. Little demons, take in this gorgeous vista and heal thyself!

This is amazing. If I took a nap here, I'd wake up with so much energy I wouldn't know what to do with it! I wish I could've seen this while I was still sleepy.

Yeah, we already took a break.

Bwuh?! You did?

The view is still beautiful even if we're not tired. Thank you for showing us this, Yoshiko. You still shouldn't have left without telling us, though.

I said I was sorry.

Well, since we've come all the way to this beautiful little spot, why don't we eat lunch here?

That's a great idea. This field's so pretty, I can't imagine a more perfect place to have lunch.

We still have to make our way back to the trail, so I suppose it would be a good idea to eat. Let's find a place to sit down.

[Fade in/out.]

Time to eat!

*Munch* *Munch* Mm-mmm! Rice balls, fried chicken, and rolled eggs! They're all so scrumptious, zura!

I really like the hint of spice you put in the burdock root.

What a sinful flavor! I can't stop eating!

Everything is so colorful. Kanata, this is awesome. It must have been a ton of work to make all this.

A little, I suppose. But when I thought about us all eating together, it wasn't hard at all.

I'm so glad we came hiking, zura. We got to enjoy this gorgeous view and share all this delicious food.

Even with the little troubles that popped up, today is a great day.

This isn't a bad way to exercise, either. It's way different from dance practice or weight training. I might be up for another hike one of these days!

Really?! I'm so happy you feel that way! Actually, this ties into something I wanted to discuss with you all.

What is it?

I was thinking we should go hiking on a regular basis! Perhaps we could even gradually shift from hiking to actual mountain climbing.

We'll be refreshed, build lower body strength, and see sights like the field of flowers! It would do us all a lot of good. There's so much we can learn from the mountains.

U-Uhh…

On a regular basis, zura?!

That could be, err, uhh, hmm…

Oh, Umi.

Well? It's a great idea, isn't it? I hope you would all consider it!
