I'm off.
Where did you camp today, Rin?
Lake Motosu Camp Site.
Such a tough child for camping alone.
Winter season is the best.
You only go camping during this time of year right, Rin?
What's good about camping in winter?
It's bugless.
Sweatless.
There's no other campers, it's quiet.
Campfires and hot spring feels good.
Only that time, you can see clearly into distance.
Last one...
The soup taste good.
Hotpot too.
Hello?
Welcome to our club!
Why?! He looked so helpless.
But that's the only activity here.
It's snapped into two.
What the heck are they doing?!
It's done!
Bear hear.
Hey, knock it off.
Want to join our Outdoor Activities Club?
I don't want my solo camp to be disturbed.
I kind of let show, though.
Let's make hotpot together!
Sorry about the other day.
I kind of got carried away, sorry for being so pushy.
No...
Rin-chan probably doesn't like a group camping as much as solo camping.
Well yeah, I suppose...
But...
Let's do this again, a relaxed hotpot camp.
If you ever feel like it, let's camp with others too.
Okay.
Let's go BBQ camp!
Yummy!
Thanks for this camp.
Next time, let me do the invitation.
We're going to Christmas camp, want to tag along?
I'm sure group camping also enjoyable.
Thanks, but sorry.
I just got rejected~
By the way, I'm going Christmas camping with the Outclub girls.
Even though you like solo camping,
I'm sure there's a different kind of fun to be camping in group.
Look like she's also looking forward to this.
What a scenery.
Say cheese~
Even though this is my winter first time,
It's really the best.
Right?!
Hey, Rin-chan.
Let's do this again on next year.
That's right.
Izu! Izu! Izu! Izu!
Zui! Zui! Zui!
Izu?
Should I go to Nishiizu via Numazu?
Or should I go through Izunokuni and check out Ito?
Actually, taking the Amagi Pass to Minamiizu wouldn't be bad, either.
What should I do?
Don't daydreaming, Shima-san.
O-Okay.
Ta-da~
You made lots of food, huh?
They say an army marches on its stomach.
That's the reason.
Let's eat.
Yummy!
I've only got two days left.
I'll be waiting for you.
Hey, Nadeshiko-chan.
How about work?
I'm getting the hang of it.
It's really cold and just keep riding the bicycle.
Even someone gave me tea today.
That's cool.
And there's this one house that has a tiny mini-shiba.
It's so cute.
I can't wait to deliver there.
Ah~
That's look good.
It's just a temp job, gotta work for our money!
Right?
Yeah.
Already decided on what to buy?
Here.
This gas lantern I found at the shop.
Ah, this is nice.
I've actually been looking at camping gear, too.
There's to much type of tent out there.
I might buy it once I get paid.
Oh~!
Outclub's ready for you anytime.
But I can't quit home club just yet.
If it's like this...
How's your work, Nadeshiko?
Message from Aki-chan.
Hey!
I'm getting used to it.
How about you? Are you busy?
Busy as hell!
I'll be working until the fourth.
Liquor sells like crazy around year end.
That's why...
We won't get any rest since we're in busy season.
Let's bust our butts!
I got the second and third off.
Eh?
I've the third and fourth off.
WTF?!
I've got the 31st to the fourth.
I'm off from the first to the third.
What're you all doing on your days off?
I'm hanging out with my family at my relative's place in Takayama.
Hida Takayama is so nice.
The one that famous with nigiri sushi, right?
Yeah.
We're going there every year.
That's nice.
Nigiri sushi, huh.
Look yummy~
Obviously.
How about you, Ena-chan?
I'm going to visit shrine with Chikuwa.
Maybe go to shopping center after that.
Buy a new cloth using your paid money, huh.
Where're you going Nadeshiko?
I'm going to my grandma's place at Lake Hamana.
What's your plan, Rin-chan?
I'm going solo camping again.
Haven't decided where yet,
maybe at the beach, Izu?
Izu camping?
Nice one.
It's nice and warm at Izu.
Abject time poverty.
Where it is?!
Why?!
Has my winter break met it's demise?!
Chiaki!
Should I buy you some local food?
I'll get you something, too.
I'll buy you some eel snacks, Aki-chan.
You guys!
All right!
I'll hold down the fort in Minobu.
I shall await your gifts' and your homecoming!
Ohgaki-san?
We're busy, please focus on work, okay?
Sorry.
I'm leaving on the 31st.
Maybe I should have New Year's soba for my camp meal.
If you're going to make it outside, better using the instant one.
So, you're headed to Izu this time?
Ah, yeah.
It's okay if it's o Izu, but how about Omaezaki?
The Pacific looks beautiful from the lighthouse hill.
Omaezaki, huh?
Ah, other one.
Grandpa's coming on the third, be home by then, okay?
Okay.
He said he's looking forward to seeing you.
Okay.
All right!
Let's go!
Last solo camping for this year.
Omaezaki!
What a big lighthouse.
It's the ocean!
But... I have to resist acting like that.
The water's so nice.
What a pretty view.
I took nearly fifty photos of the ocean on the way here.
Such a resident of a landlocked prefecture.
Everyone still at work right now.
Later I will share it with them.
There's paw on concrete.
Power doggy.
Next, I have to go the tea shop in that mom wanted me to visit.
Can you go to the tea shop at Kakegawa?
I'm saved because my place for today is quite expensive.
All right!
But even so, riding by the ocean feels great!
But it's so windy!
So cold!
Tea.
There's to much tea.
Really don't have an idea which one is good.
Hello?
Hello, mom.
What kind of tea should I buy?
If it's good for a thousand yen, so be it.
I really don't know about it.
Ah!
There's a green tea cafe on the second floor.
You should take a break there.
Really?!
I gave you an extra 1,000 yen.
Enjoy yourself.
No!
I'll use this for my accommodation.
Need to hold myself here.
Excuse me.
Yeah?
Is there any tea around thousand yen?
Here.
Thank you.
About this tea.
It's aged in a shed in the mountains over the summer.
It has an especially soft flavor that goes down easy.
Thanks for the tea.
I don't understand what she's talking about.
But it's tasty.
Wait...
Might you be the young lady I met at Yashajin Pass?
Eh?
Please accept this.
Houjicha tea.
It'll help to warm up your body.
Especially on night time.
Huh?!
Oh, right!
What a coincidence, right?
Thanks for that houjicha tea.
It's delicious.
You're welcome.
Are you here by yourself?
Yes.
I'm going to see the first sunrise of the new year over the ocean in Iwata.
Ah, so that's why you're here from Yamanashi.
If you're going to Iwata, you might enjoy Fukude Beach.
Fukude Beach, huh?
Yeah.
It's a famous spot for the New Year's sunrise.
They put up a torii at the end of the year, which gives it a bit of a mysterious vibe.
I'm here at the end.
Enjoy yourself.
Thank you.
Let's try it out.
The fluffiness...
The flavor of matcha is just right.
Yummy.
How is this tea set so relaxing?
It's like a warm bath, but in drink form.
Reminds me of the hot spring in Komagane.
Shoot.
I don't feel like moving anymore.
I just want to pitch my tent here.
That's it for the lower half.
Rin-chan at Shizuoka already now.
How the weather over there?
Don't let the rain pour down.
One! Two!
Visiting the Mitsuke Tenjin shrine.
So this is Shippeitarou...
In Komagane, the concession is known as Hayatarou.
Here it is called Shippeitarou.
They enshrined it here.
It looks a little different from Hayatarou over at Kouzenji.
More to a fox-like.
And at this shrine...
I can meet Shippeitarou The Third...
That's what I thought about.
Not as planned, huh.
I wish for another peaceful year.
I don't like New Year's visit because it's crowded.
Guess I'll call this my New Year's visit.
Let's go check out the real-life Shippeitarou!
Really?!
Come to think of it, dogs only live for about fifteen years.
Not nearly as long as humans.
I came to see Shippei The Third at Mitsuke-Tenjin,
but he's already passed on.
Oh, that's too bad.
Don't you ever get scared about Chikuwa leaving you, Satiou?
It is really scary,
and I'll be really sad...
That's why I want to spend time with him lots, so he can remember all the fun he had.
Ever since that last camping, Chikuwa gets really exited when he sees photo of you guys.
Come play with me again, Rin-chan!
All right!
All play with you so much.
You'll go nuts!
One doggy charm, please.
Shippeitarou doggy charm acquired.
His eyebrows are dignified.
I should head to the campground now.
Good luck!
One night at the free sites, correct?
Yes.
That'll be 3,140 yen.
Here.
3,140 per night is a steep price for a high school student.
All right!
Gotta set up quick!
The sun's setting.
Should I start my campfire.
But there's no pine cones or twigs in a well-maintained campground.
so I'm going to start my fire with a feather stick.
Firstly, it must be then.
Surface scraped with a knife.
Fluff it up.
Processing for easy ignition.
Feather stick.
I won't need firestarters anymore if this work so well.
Farewell, pine cones.
Wait up!
I'll make some simple New Year's Soba with this.
Firstly,
boiled some nameko mushrooms with soba.
After it done, add some,
Green onion.
seaweed.
deep-fried fish.
yellow egg.
Give it a good shake of shichimi pepper...
All right!
Is this okay?
Duck soup nameko mushroom soba.
Just putting in a bowl really sets the mood for New Year's Eve.
Time to eat.
Tasty.
Of course you can't go winter camping without spicy soup.
Thanks for the food.
Oh, that's right!
I forgot to post my photos.
It's the ocean!
You took way to many pictures of the ocean, Rin-chan.
That was fast.
Yamanashi kids can never get enough of the ocean, Nadeshiko-chan.
Exactly.
You take tons of picture of Mt. Fuji, Nadeshiko-chan.
Happy new year!
Not just yet.
You can give me Amazon gift card instead of money.
I'll send you a 20,000 yen.
Used one.
By the way, it's snowing over here.
It never snows in Hamamatsu.
It's so exciting!
That's right.
Here not really that hot.
The latter half of the year was pretty noisy thanks to her.
Don't run!
Just wanted some help!
I know it's you!
Let's make hotpot together!
I caught a cold!
Let's go BBQ camp.
I normally camp until January.
The sunrise.
but I have a feeling I'm going to be camping even when it gets warm next year.
So bright!
Happy New Year, Rin-chan!
Happy New Year.
Thanks for having us.
'Sup, Inuko?
HNY.
Happy New Year.
HNY, Sensei.
Happy New Year.
Sure is cold, huh?
Thanks for offering to drive us, Sensei.
It's fine, I don't have any plans.
It's warming me up.
It's also a way to atone for getting too carried away at the Christmas camp.
Please hop in.
Okay.
Thanks you.
Are you going to see the first sunrise before you go to work, Aki?
Yeah.
Are you going to Takayama after this, Inuko?
In the afternoon.
We're going to do some sightseeing.
It's nice.
HNY, Aki-chan!
Little Inuko!
She wanted to tag along after I told her we're going to see the first sunrise.
My New Year's Allowance, Aki-chan?
You works a lot, right.
This kid!
About half an hour before sunrise.
Oh, yeah.
There's the torii out of nowhere.
She was right.
It's kind of mysterious.
That's what I thought.
The katakana makes it look all the more vulgar.
Thank you.
Inline, please.
Thank you.
Super cold here!
I don't think you'll be tag along.
Hit me with that ice snow, huh.
One yomogi, please.
I'll have a yuba, then.
Thank you.
That's look good.
I'll cut the skewers for good luck.
Cutting the skewers to cut off suffering and death, huh?
That's so punny.
They're handing out amazake over there.
Ah, it's non-alcoholic amazake.
I wish for Aki-chan to give me a big New Year's allowance.
Ten more minutes until sunrise.
Rin must be waiting at the beach now.
That's right.
Here it comes.
Sunrise is coming!
Yeah!
It's getting brighter.
It's a double New Year's sunrise.
HNY.
HNY, Nadeshiko!
Thanks for the double New Year's sunrise.
I'm looking forward to another year with you all!
Gotta keep up the pace on my greeting card deliveries!
It's so pretty.
Come on, let's go.
Back already?
Let's take a little time here.
We need to go check out the next New Year's sunrise.
Next New Year's sunrise?
I see.
Diamond Fuji, huh?
Diamond Fuji rises later than usual because the difference of the peak.
Sunrise at Mt. Minobu was at seven.
Diamond Fuji will be visible from Takaori in Fujikawa City at 7:50.
That means, while we're traveling in the meantime
so that we can the sunrise twice.
That's so cool.
Good thinking, Aki-chan!
Good one.
So, let's go!
Let's go!
This is going to be quite the mountain road.
Ohgaki-san, what time now?
It's 7:47 now.
3 more minutes.
Are we going to make it?
You can do it, Sensei!
I suppose so.
I'll get us there in time!
Sensei, it just around that corner!
I see it!
This is the Diamond Fuji New Year's sunrise!
It's way up there already.
Looks like the Diamond Fuji sunrise was at 7:20.
Whoopsie!
Don't run!
The first sunrise...
HNY!
I got a picture of the first sunrise.
wkwkwk.
You're finally awake.
Hello, mom.
Happy New Year.
Rin, You're going home today, right?
Yeah.
Grandpa was coming, right?
About that, it snowed over here.
All the road are frozen, you won't make it with home with your scooter.
What?!
I talked to your grandpa about it,
he said he'll come to pick you up with your scooter day after tomorrow with his van.
Okay.
So just enjoy your time there until the morning of the third.
Huh?!
Okay.
H-Hold on!
The day after tomorrow?
Two days to waste, huh.
What an opportunity.
Eh?!
