Track 3

Welp, have at it. I’ll be cracking open the cooler and checkin’ on these silver bad boys in the meantime.¹

He started it just like that.

Ah, I'll blow the horn.

I also wish to go honk honk with that thing—!

Perhaps we'll get it if we win.

(T-T-That'd mean, an indirect.. k-k-ki—)

Do your best, guys! As the leader, I'll cheer you on until my voice goes hoarse!

Alright, the ones chosen by the lottery system were Isotake, Raito-san, Yowa-san, and Natsume-san...

This particular group might just be an advantage.

Why is that?

Cuz likeee, Yodachasu is BFFies with Piroshi-san, right?

Indeed. Leave it to me, I'll cook his favorites.

Plus the other team includes my bonus badge, Kuguri-san! This is def our chance, all according to plan!!

Then how about this; Yodaka-san will prep the cooking station, and the 3 of us will go look for ingredients.

Once Team Ocean enters the forest, we'll hide—

..and we'll launch a big surprise attack!

I have already placed a number of my special traps around the forest, so they may lose to those first! Though they were first set up for animals!

Good luck. I pray for your success.

WOOOOOWWW!! Did Kiroku and the Ocean guys build that tent over there? When we get back we GOTTA make our base as cool as that!

We sure do. First off, we need to gather some seafood here, but...

ORA!! I know you fuckers are in there. Your sand pokin' days end here...!!

(Ryui-kun looks like he's having fun. I should help him too..)

As expected of the boss, he's in the zone and hitting bullseye on the clam spots one by one~!

Are we falling behind? But Kuguri is just standing there....

......

Nah nah, Kuguri-san is giving off crazy aura! Y'know, the Master Clam-digging Director kind of aura!

.... I don't like saltwater, you see.

By the way, where is Netaro—

I found a honk-hoooonk~!

Is that a conch shell? It's even got some kelp on it! What a steal!

Let us hurry up and have Yoda rip its guts out so we can use it is an instrument.

That settles our seafood component. Let's go on to the forest!

According to Ryooi's group's movements, it would be best to activate the trap at Point M.

I'll position myself somewhere I can flank them. Can the 2 of you distract Kuguri and the others?

You got it! I wanna capture Kiroku and the boss' faces shocked faces in slow-mo after all!!

Just swaying in the wind here is boring indeed! I shall use the rose seeds Renchi fed me yesterday, and do this and that, and now..

Then I'll grab the kelp, and hoihoiii~~~

Mufufu-fufu!

Ah, here they come! Waru, let us get into armadillo position in those bushes!

Head hidey butt curly!

That's it for our seafood ingredients then.

I wouldn't step on that if I were you.

Wh—?!

GOTCHAAAAA!!!

(Alright.... all 3 of them have their backs turned against me.)

Ryooi, I caught you~

(Kuguri is left handed, so he probably put his badges in his left pocket...)

WOOOOOWWW!! KOTARO, YOUR INVENTION IS SIIICK!!!!

(No wait, do his pants even have pockets? The pleats make it hard to tell.)

ISOTAKE!! Don't hang around Yowa! He's a bad influence!!

(He could be hiding them in his corset, or sneakily hiding them at the bottom of his boots...)

.........

(Beats me! Let's just go for it!)

Ya keep making this bothersome shit… At least I caught myself in time because of Domeki…!

You're very welcome—

!

Haha! I thought Akuta and Netaro would have you distracted… But a surprise attack won’t work on you, will it!

You're underestimating me.

WHAAAAATT?! The “Face Full of Falling Kelp” strategy didn’t work?! NO WAY!!

Hmph… I didn’t have much of a choice, but it looks like my “Gun With Rose Seed Bullets That Actually Pretty Hurt When They Hit Your Forehead” doesn’t get enough speed when thrown together with whatever materials are lying around…

*TWEEEET!!* All of you, that's enough.

Welcome back everyone. How did it go?

I was able to get 1 of Kuguri's badges, but....

We were so locked in on the traps and stuff that we only managed to get a few ingredients... Here ya go, a handful of enoki mushrooms warmed up by the palms of yours truly.

And here is a honk honk.

Don't look so down. The task was to make snacks, so there's no need for a large serving. Now it's my time to shine.

Ah, both teams have started cooking!

Starting off with the seasoning—

As expected of Natsume-san, his experience is showing.

His hand is way too high sprinkling that salt and pepper though.

*wink*

AHFWAH-!? He looked over here....?!

He's looking at a humble hardtack distributing monster such as I ...... I'm sho shorryyyyy.... b-but I'm sho happy..

......

Murakumo-san appears to be silently extracting the meat from the barnacles. They're small and rather difficult to peel, yet he is showing incredible skill!

It's simple work, but Ten-kun seems good with this stuff!

(Well, being good at somethin' and enjoying it aren't exactly related~)

Thanks for the food. Both were good stuff but— Team Ocean wins this one.

Usually, I’d prefer somethin’ fried like what Yodaka made… but soup really hits when you’re hungover.

Since Team Ocean won, you’ve unlocked the “Flower Garden Area”! Congratulations, you guys!

SHOCK!!! SHOCKER!!! SHOOOCKIIING!!!

My apologies. I should have observed Danny a bit more.

It's not your fault, Yodaka-san.

I see. My understanding of adulthood has deepened...

My apologies as well. I got too caught up in my battle with Kuguri, and weighed everyone down.

C'mon, no need to be so down in the dumps! This just means we're tied now, right!

But a flower field... I'm kinda jealous.

I wish to hurry up and use the honk honk to go honk honk!

In any case, it's time for us to head back.

I agree. I believe that we should work on the base of our operations a bit more.

Ah.... oof. Dropped my badge.

Akuta also dropped his yesterday, so I gotta be careful—

UWA!? W-what was that....?!

(It snagged my badge in a flash....)

(Was it a wild animal? But, its silhouette kind of looked like Shumai's....)

Yo—! Renre, what happened?

It'd be dangerous if you got separated.

(....Shumai should be with Chief and the conductors, so he couldn't possibly be here, right.....?)

(1 of my badges is missing now, but.... guess I can't do anything about it now.)

Sorry, I'm coming back now!
