The wind tonight is quite boisterous. The first day of the summer camp passed relatively quietly like this.
So what do they have to do on the second day of the elementary school summer camp? Uchiha Ryo asked Hiratsuka Shizuka during breakfast.
Hiratsuka Shizuka took a sip of tea and unhurriedly announced today's task.
"Today, the whole day is free activity time for those children. In the evening, there will be a Test of Courage and a bonfire party. You guys are responsible for preparing the evening activities."
After breakfast, the girls went to prepare props for the Test of Courage, while the boys went to prepare wood for the bonfire party and find a route for the Test of Courage along the way.
Uchiha Ryo and Shirogane Miyuki met in the backyard, each carrying a log. The backyard of this inn was more like a square. An open space was surrounded by woods on all sides, so things like bonfires should be placed in the very center as much as possible.
In case they did something like setting fire to the mountain..... The kind Uchiha who loved the environment so much would not commit atrocities similar to a certain Enyun.
After preparing the bonfire, the two were called away by Hiratsuka Shizuka to prepare other things. Of course, they could also choose to stay here to take care of the elementary school students, or leave the Chiba Forest with the girls and go to Chiba Prefecture to buy props for the Test of Courage.
Amakusa Shino: "Let's split into groups, two in a group to buy separately, it's faster this way."
Fujiwara Chika: "That works too. Then who should I group with....."
Amakusa Shino pulled Fujiwara Chika over. "You group with me, Senpai will take you to buy fun things~"
"Fun things! Mhm, mhm, I'm grouping with Amakusa-senpai."
Chitanda turned to look at Yukinoshita. "Then Yukino and I will go together!"
Yukinoshita shook her head. "Sorry Eru, I promised Hiratsuka-sensei to stay. After all, taking care of the elementary school students requires leaving one staff member behind."
Chitanda: "Eh...."
At this time, Hiratsuka Shizuka pushed open the door and looked at the girls sitting on the bench discussing what to buy.
"Yukinoshita, you staying is just right to watch the students with that elementary school teacher in the backyard. Of course, you can also continue to accompany the child named Rumi."
Hiratsuka Shizuka turned to look at Shirogane Miyuki again. "Shirogane, you.... go walk the Test of Courage route with the other two elementary school teachers and see if there are any problems."
Uchiha Ryo raised his hand. "Then I'll go shopping."
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "You go.... that's fine too. It's good to have a boy to help carry things."
"...."
Uchiha Ryo smiled at Chitanda. "Then let's go buy props for the Test of Courage together, meaning those scary things or costumes, right?"
.....
Chiba Prefecture. Chitanda took Uchiha Ryo around and came to a store named "Weird Costume Shop" in the corner of the business district.
Different from ordinary clothes, this place actually specialized in selling those weird cosplay costumes.
Of course, this Weird Costume Shop sold not only weird costumes, but also many exquisite uniforms that increased attack speed and critical hits.
Uchiha Ryo: "Chitanda..... how did you find this place?"
Chitanda chuckled. "Amakusa-buchou told me. She said we can buy a lot of costumes here."
Just after walking into the store, Chitanda was attracted by those things she had never seen before and ran over to check them quickly.
Uchiha Ryo stood inside the store entrance, knocked on the cashier counter, and woke up the boss who was still dozing off.
The boss's eyelids flickered a few times, then seeing customers coming, he smiled awkwardly.
"Sorry, young man. I've been a little tired recently, so I fell asleep."
Uchiha Ryo nodded indifferently. "Boss, you really have everything here."
The young boss, who looked no more than thirty, showed a confident smile. "Of course! As long as you can think of a way to play, I have the props!"
The boss glanced at Chitanda Eru who was picking clothes inside. "Young man, your girlfriend. I really envy you.... I also want to find such a young girlfriend."
Uchiha Ryo didn't refute, but saw a certain sense of vicissitudes on the face of this young boss. It had to be said that this boss was a bit handsome, and many little girls nowadays liked handsome uncles.
"I think with your temperament, Boss, it should be easy to find one."
The boss sighed. "Finding one is easy, mainly finding a girlfriend.... it's hard to explain to the family."
Uchiha Ryo: "Huh? You find a girlfriend normally, why is it hard to explain to the family?"
The boss lowered his head as if thinking of something, and lit a cigarette for himself in low spirits.
"Mainly, it's hard to explain to my wife and children."
Uchiha Ryo didn't want to talk anymore. He shouldn't have chatted with this boss. But although he stopped talking, the boss obviously looked like he had been holding it in for a long time, and actively chatted with Uchiha Ryo over there.
"Young man, what are you looking for with your girlfriend in my shop? It's hard for you to find it slowly, I can help you pick."
Uchiha Ryo: "...Looking for some scary, frightening costumes."
Boss: "Scary.... hiss, I've played for so many years, really haven't seen this kind of gameplay. Frightening? Is mental damage more powerful than physical damage?"
Uchiha Ryo: "Uh.... We are preparing for a Test of Courage, not what you think."
While chatting, Chitanda suddenly walked over holding a large pile of things.
"Boss, we'll buy all of these!"
Boss: "Alright! Thank you for your patronage!"
Uchiha Ryo roughly glanced at them. The biggest one was a tiger mascot costume, followed by several silver-white masks, and a black whip.
"Chitanda, what did you buy this whip for?"
Chitanda Eru blinked her innocent big eyes. "I feel that as a scary ghost, I need some weapons. Don't worry, I won't really hit the children, just whip the ground."
Boss: "Hahaha, it's okay! Even if you whip someone, it's fine. Our whips here aren't those painful leather whips, at most leaving a red mark."
Uchiha Ryo picked up a few white cylindrical objects similar to glow sticks.
"What is this again?"
Chitanda: "Just glow sticks. Look at the two buttons on them. One press makes it glow. I picked three colors: red, green, and blue."
The boss took it over again. "This is a good thing personally tested by our lady boss. Press the first button to glow, press the second button to vibrate. And I guarantee it's absolutely waterproof and leak-proof! If there is any problem, bring it back for a return anytime!"
Buying a few more cosplay costumes with more fabric, this trip to the Weird Costume Shop ended here. However, the boss was quite nice. If they bought a lot of things, shipping was free and delivered on the same day.
Walking out of the costume shop empty-handed, Chitanda grabbed Uchiha Ryo's arm. "Let's try those things when we get back!"
Uchiha Ryo: "Mhm?! If you don't mind, of course I can."
Chitanda nodded. "Mhm, mhm, those cosplay costumes, try them when we get back."
"Oh.... cosplay costumes."
Chitanda tilted her head. "Is there any problem?"
Uchiha Ryo: "Nothing, I thought you meant the glow sticks....."
