Day 1 of camp.
"Alright, let's begin summer camp at ‹Food-Dun›!!"
" "Aye-aye!" "
Hannah and Alulu followed after my excited announcement with the same wavelength. Both of them were burning in enthusiasm like never before after they heard they could secure ingredients for their stall from here.
They seemed really looking forward to it, throwing their hands in the air. That was enough to take the mood to another level!
We're currently in our guild room. It was cloudless weather, the blueness of sky stretching far and wide.
Starting today, we were going to start on our first summer plan. The first step in our plan was the rehearsal of ‹Food-Dun›.
Summer camp, if you ask me, I would like to hold for the 2nd or even 3rd time. (Whether it's possible is another thing.)
The plan was to keep it a day trip for today but I wouldn't mind turning it into a full-fledged summer camp if everything goes alright. This would become a reference for the later guild activities as well.
So I couldn't take this easy. Yes, I must make this plan a success. That's why I was raising everyone's excitement metre from the get-go.
"Are you sure you can save your stamina if you keep wasting your breath getting all pepped up when we haven't even left yet?" (Kairi)
The one to retort---and also a straightforward opinion was Kairi.
"I know right. Best way to spend stamina is to conserve as much as you can, spend as little as possible, and come back with some in the tank." (Nico)
"That's the philosophy of lazy bum!" (Alulu)
I couldn't believe such un-student like words were coming from Nico's mouth. Wouldn't a typical student look for some exhaustive games!?
It seemed like I wasn't alone in thinking that, as Alulu retorted.
"Kairi is right. Can you not be such a child when we haven't even begun, Zephyr?" (Sierra)
"I guess so."
My overwhelming spirit died down when Sierra spoke. I wonder why I couldn't go against her words. Ahem, no way right. Right, we still were waiting for other members so this was just a bit of a cooldown.
But at least everyone's feeling over this camping trip was the same. They all had been talking about what they wanted to gather, what they wanted to eat etc.
While everyone was excitedly talking, rest of the members joined in one after another. Last one to arrive was Celestine, though he was---
"Everything is ready. We can leave now."
He had just come back from completing all the procedures to enter into Extra-Dungeon. It seemed like at least half of the usual students had started to explore Extra-Dungeon.
As we gradually approached our location, the colours of excitement had started gradually appearing on everyone's face.
"Huh, there's no monster on the first floor, remember? The only thing that moves here is the animals."
"I was joking. So please stop with a serious reply. I want to crawl into a hole."
...But I really feel like she was serious just now.Right, you say nothing, you hear nothing. But I am really grateful for her resolve, maybe that was truly just teasing.
Anyway, leaving the rest of the members in the hands of our two capable sub-guildmasters while we left for the 12th floor.
"Everyone! Do you all have your ‹Item Box›? Make sure to be careful of time, don't become the lost kid in your exploration. Except that, you're free to do anything!"
Each member immediately moved to take their own action after I was done with explaining what they needed to be careful of.
"Alright, let's go to that field, Mert-sama! We shall get the farm harvest experience first!"
"I want to check the rivers first. I heard we can catch fresh fish in the mountain stream."
"Geez, is calcium really that important? I guess this is the age huh, but alright. Let's get going!"
"Hoho...... It seems like someone is itching to get their ears squeezed."
Mert and Misato seemed to have decided to try fishing.
"I guess I shall try the livestock area? Karua-san, Rika-san. Will you accompany me?"
"Hn, of course. My steaks are waiting for me."
"Likewise. I didn't accompany Karua together last time, so I could only placate myself with her explanation."
Rina, Karua and Rika seemed to have decided on a livestock area.
"Lulu, we can't pet Mr. Animals here. It would be a tragic site, so let's check vegetable area ourservles."
"Nyu? If Celia onee-sama says so, then let's do that!"
"Would it be alright if I accompany you as well? I had always wanted to see harvesting on a farm."
"Maria-san is it? Of course, feel free."
Lulu, Celia and ‹Helper› Maria had settled on the farm area. Well, hunting livestock was also one of our tasks. Thinking about what would happen to the livestocks Lulu would be petting......yeah, all I could imagine was a scene out of a horror film left in her eyes. Celia was swift in her decision.
Maria hardly had any battle power, so she was joining in the harvest group.
"Lacritta-chan! Let's go on an adventure! I really want to see what lies beyond that hill."
"Wa-wa-wait, Noel-chan. You will get lost if you don't leave behind any signposts!?"
Noel and Lacritta had decided to become an adventuring duo. Though Lacritta was mostly led around by the whims of Noel. Was that how the two typically act? By the way, you can go all out. We have ‹Dragon's Miniature Garden› etc items precisely to search for the lost kids.
Seeing everyone deciding on their task, we returned back to the 1st floor. Speaking of, Hannah and Alulu were stopping at the 1st floor to gather the ingredients for the stall.
