This week starts with Nadeshiko’s childhood friend Toki Ayano (Kurosawa Tomoyo) trying out “mini-camping”, riding her moped to a pretty spot to enjoy some hot cocoa. When her thermos doesn’t keep it hot and a more substantial stove costs too much, she buys a mini stove that makes the cocoa nice and piping hot. She’s in her own little serene paradise on the beach.
The Outclub camps in Ena’s yard, basking in Chikuwa’s cute (but not cheap) little camping setup. After Ena gives Chiaki a respectable haircut, everyone whips out sausages to cook on their DIY alcohol stoves, but Chiaki ups the difficulty level by trying to make sausage herself.
The process itself is easy, but the finished product’s flavor is impaired by lack of attention to detail: not only the pork, but the casings, stuffing gun, and mixing bowl must be well-chilled to ensure proper distribution of meat and fat. While sausage making may not be practical while camping, bringing already-made sausages works out just fine.
Nadeshiko and the Outclub plan to do a flower-viewing somewhere secluded, while Ayano suggests a trip with Rin and Nadeshiko to Ooigawa. Nadeshiko was feeling like it might be time for a solo trip, but in a way she’ll get one as it will take her longer to meet up with her moped-riding friends.
As should come as no surprise, this Yuru Camp was extremely cute and cozy. Ayano is trying to camp on a shoestring budget without getting burnt by poor quality, while the Outclub are always on the lookout for DIY camping solutions. Rin was all on her own these past two episodes, but looks like a warm reunion with Nadeshiko and Ayano is in the offing.
