Ch. 18 Ep. 3: Remote Island Training!
μ's and Nijigasaki use Maki's parents' connections to borrow a house on a remote island for their joint training camp. And now, the day of departure has arrived.
Umi
We're over here, guys.
Ayumu
Good morning. Did we make you wait long?
Kotori
Not at all. You had plenty of time to spare.
Rina
So glad we made it.
Kasumi
I told you we'd be fine.
Hanayo
Did something happen?
Ai
Oh, we were just a running bit late since Kasukasu has so much stuff with her.
Kasumi
It's Kasumin, not Kasukasu!
Maki
We're only going for three nights! Why did you bring all that?
Kasumi
No way, three nights is a lot! Everything here is absolutely necessary. And I'm not the only one! Shioko has a ton of baggage too.
Nozomi
Oh? Now that you mention it, she really does.
Shioriko
I'm so sorry… This is my first time going to a training camp, so I really didn't know what I would need…
Honoka
What?! Shioriko, you've never been to a training camp? *Giggle* We'll make this extra fun, then! And don't worry about your bags. Better too much than too little, right?
Kasumi
The leader of μ's knows just what to say!
Honoka
*Giggle* Right?
Umi
Honoka, please. *Sigh* Kasumi, try not to get Honoka all riled up. It's going to be a long trip otherwise.
Shizuku
That aside, we're sure leaving early.
Emma
It's still dark outside. I haven't been up this early in forever.
Karin
Lack of sleep…is bad for the skin… *Yawn*
Setsuna
Oh no, Karin's about to pass out!
Maki
Maybe you should try to sleep more while we're on the train.
Ai
Yeah. Between the train and the boat, we've got a ways to go before we arrive.
Eli
It's weird to see Kanata awake this early.
Kanata
Yeah, I did my absolute best. But I'm so, so sleepy, I can barely keep my eyes open. Train, boat, I'm sleeping the whole way… *Yawn*
Eli
That's a good plan. The rest of you should take it just as easy.
Rin
Don't worry about me, I'm too excited to be sleepy!
Shioriko
Me too!
Nico
Okay, it's time to catch the train. Let's go.
[Fade in/out.]
Rin
We're here!
Karin
I knew to expect it, but that was really far. I did get some good sleep out of it, though.
Emma
*Giggle* Was my shoulder a comfy pillow, Karin? You looked like you were sleeping so peacefully the whole way.
Karin
Shush, Emma. But yeah, it was. For some reason it's so easy to relax around you. I feel so much better.
Kanata
I got lots of sleep too, so now I'm full of energy!
Hanayo
You both look so much more awake! My tiredness from the ride over vanished after seeing this view of the big blue sea! This training camp is gonna be fun!
Rin
Kayo-chin, Kayo-chin, what do you wanna do?
Hanayo
Hmm, let me think…
Ai
If we wanna go have fun, we gotta put our things away first!
Maki
We're not here just for fun… But there's no point in saying that right now. The house is this way. Let's head over!
[Fade in/out.]
Umi
Gosh, this is such a grand location…
Nozomi
Wow, it's even better than I imagined.
Nico
Are you sure we're allowed to use this place?
Maki
Of course. Look, I even have the key.
Kasumi
Hey, hey, hey! A moment, please?
Honoka
What's wrong, Kasumi?
Kasumi
Since we came all the way out here, why don't we explore the island a bit after we drop off our stuff?
Rin
I'm in! It'll feel like we're exploring a deserted island!
Eli
Don't you want to take a break after traveling for so long?
Rina
Like Hanayo said, all of our tiredness completely vanished. We're good to go.
Karin
These are the moments that make training camps special, aren't they?
Honoka
Come on, Eli, it'll be fine. Let's go exploring!
Eli
*Giggle* You might be getting a little too excited, but fine. After we drop our bags off in our rooms, let's go take a look around.
Kasumi, Honoka
Yaaay!
[Fade in/out.]
Honoka
Whoa! Look! I see a cave!
Umi
Don't run, Honoka! Be careful!
Honoka
I'll be fine!
Umi
Good grief, Honoka.
Kotori
*Giggle* She's really always been like that since we were little.
Rina
A cave like this, on the island?
Kanata
It sure looks pretty big.
Eli
We don't have anything with us and the ground looks uneven, so we shouldn't go any further. Some of us are only wearing sandals, you know.
Nozomi
Good point. It would be terrible if any of us got injured the moment we got to the island.
Setsuna
Look at this, you guys. There's a bunch of clothes and rubber boots tossed all over the place. Do you think someone was here?
Rin
Maybe someone who used to live here left them behind… Now we're really getting into adventure mode! This is the perfect setup for pretending we're on a deserted island!
