[00:08] Aoi
    Aki said she wanted to show me
    something. Wonder what it is.
[00:13] Aoi
    We have exams starting
    the day after tomorrow.
[00:15] Aoi
    I have to get home.
[00:25] Chiaki
    It's cold, so I wanted to see what it's like...
[00:29] Chiaki
    But it's still cold in here, too.
[00:35] Chiaki
    Maybe if I move around and
    heat it up with friction...
[00:41] Aoi
    Aki, are you here?
[00:46] Aoi
    There's a wriggling caterpillar here.
[02:19] Chiaki
    Ow, ow, ow...
SIGN    Episode 8
    Exams, Caribou, Steamed Buns, Yum!
[02:21] Aoi
    What are you doing?
[02:23] Aoi
    And what did you want to show me?
[02:26] Chiaki
    I've been waiting for you, Inuko.
[02:28] Chiaki
    Behold!
[02:41] Chiaki
    Bam!
[02:43] Aoi
    What do you mean, "bam"? I was
    watching you set up the whole time.
[02:48] Aoi
    A mini table, wooden utensils,
    and a skillet, huh?
[02:52] Aoi
    What's all this about?
[02:54] Chiaki
    Remember how there were campers
    below us when we went last time?
[02:58] Aoi
    Yeah, there were.
[03:00] Chiaki
    They were relaxing at a fancy table with
    fancy chairs, enjoying their time off.
[03:06] Chiaki
    Meanwhile, we were sitting on a tarp.
[03:10] Chiaki
    It's just too unfair!
[03:12] Aoi
    Come on, we were having more fun than that.
[03:15] Aoi
    So you tried setting up the whole kit, huh?
[03:17] Chiaki
    That's right!
[03:18] Chiaki
    Don't underestimate me, child!
[03:20] Aoi
    That was an odd moment to snap at me.
[03:23] Aoi
    But wouldn't all this cost
    seven or eight thousand yen?
SIGN    Table: 470 yen
[03:29] Chiaki
    It didn't cost much when I bought it at the
    home improvement store over the weekend.
SIGN    Placemat: 370 yen
SIGN    Pot stand: 190 yen
SIGN    Skillet: 460 yen
SIGN    Wooden bowl: 700 yen
SIGN    Fork, spoon, etc.: 90 yen
SIGN    Total: 2,370 yen
[03:34] Aoi
    That's it?!
[03:35] Chiaki
    Also, this is just a normal kitchen rack.
[03:38] Aoi
    Oh, so it is.
[03:40] Chiaki
    Honestly,
[03:42] Chiaki
    with wooden dinnerware, an iron pan,
    and native-patterned cloths,
[03:45] Chiaki
    this is fancy camping.
[03:47] Aoi
    You're not very particular, are you?
[03:49] Chiaki
    Also, meat tastes really good 
    when it's cooked on a skillet.
[03:53] Chiaki
    "Want some meat?"
[03:56] Aoi
    Who's that supposed to be?
[03:59] Chiaki
    Wait, where's Nadeshiko today?
[04:01] Aoi
    Well, exams are coming up.
[04:03] Aoi
    I'm going home to study, too.
[04:08] Chiaki
    Speak of the devil. It's Nadeshiko.
[04:10] [Texting] ->
    Aki-chan, I found a weird car!
[04:15] [Texting] ->
    This chicken's taking a walk.
[04:18] [Texting] ->
    Cat!
[04:20] [Texting] ->
    Pickup doggy!
[04:23] [Texting] ->
    Doggy! I'll never forget you!
[04:28] [Texting] ->
    By Tsunayoshi.
[04:30] [Texting] <-
    Go home and study, Tsunayoshi.
[04:33] Aoi
    Shouldn't you be studying, too?
[04:36] Chiaki
    Oh, it wouldn't work.
[04:38] Chiaki
    I can't get fired up until the day before.
[04:42] Aoi
    Don't blame me when you
    end up freaking out later.
[04:45] Chiaki
    I become explosively more high-performance
    right before the exam.
[04:50] Chiaki
    That's how I roll.
[04:53] Aoi
    That was...
[04:55] Aoi
    what she said over and over in the first term,
    and even in middle school.
[05:01] Aoi
    I might never get to go home...
[05:04] Chiaki
    Well, I'd better head home.
[05:09] Aoi
    Y-Yeah...
[05:11] Chiaki
    Maybe I'll have soup in the
    wooden bowl when I get home.
[05:14] Aoi
    It says not to use it for hot food, though.
SIGN    Warning 
    - Do not use for hot food, foods with strong odors, or hot water. 
    It may cause warping or cracks, resulting in a woody odor to foods. 
    - Do not leave in water. 
    - Do not leave inside a pot over a flame. 
    - Do not leave near fire or heat sources. 
    - Do not apply excessive force. 
    It may result in warping, cracking, or breaking. 
    - Do not use a microwave, oven, dishwasher, or dish dryer on this bowl.
[05:20] Chiaki
    You're right...
[05:22] Chiaki
    No hot foods.
[05:24] Chiaki
    No foods with strong odors.
[05:26] Chiaki
    No hot water.
[05:27] Chiaki
    No leaving it in water.
[05:30] Chiaki
    So what the hell can you use it for?!
[05:33] Aoi
    Maybe... you could put a sandwich on top?
[05:36] Chiaki
    That's such a goofy way to use it!
[05:39] Aoi
    How about for snacks?
[05:43] Chiaki
    Seven hundred yen sounds really expensive if that's all you can use it for.
[05:49] Chiaki
    And why can't you put hot stuff in it, anyway?
[05:54] Chiaki
    Found it.
[05:56] Chiaki
    This must be why you aren't
    supposed to use it for hot stuff.
[05:59] Narrator
    When a wooden bowl says not
    to use it for hot foods,
[06:03] Narrator
    it's because it's coated with
    lacquer to prevent staining.
[06:06] Narrator
    Boiling water can melt the coating off.
SIGN    Gyaaah!
SIGN    G
    y
    a
    a
    a
    h
    !
[06:11] Aoi
    It says to use it for salads and stuff.
[06:13] Chiaki
    Then maybe you can scrub
    the lacquer off with a file.
[06:17] Chiaki
    I can wash it as soon as it gets dirty.
[06:20] Aoi
    I once read something about finishing
    handmade wooden plates with olive oil.
[06:26] Chiaki
    That's it!
[06:28] Chiaki
    Let's do that! Filing and oiling!
[06:34] Aoi
    Do that after our exams!
[06:40] Nadeshiko
    Exams start the day after tomorrow.
[06:43] Nadeshiko
    And when exams are over, it's winter break.
[06:47] Nadeshiko
    I like that winter break is a bit
    longer here than in Hamamatsu.
[06:51] Nadeshiko
    I think I'll be at Grandma's place
    again this year for New Year's.
[06:54] Nadeshiko
    I miss Aya-chan, too.
[06:56] Nadeshiko
    But before that, there's Christmas.
[07:01] Nadeshiko
    Christmas...
[07:03] (Professor) Chiaki
    All right, today we're going to remove lacquer
    from a wooden dish and season a skillet.
SIGN    Lacquer Removal and Seasoning
[07:08] Aoi
    You just made more work for yourself.
SIGN    Seasoning
[07:11] Narrator
    Seasoning.
[07:13] Narrator
    Seasoning is the process of
    removing the rust-proofing
[07:17] Narrator
    on the surface of a cast iron skillet,
    and coating it with olive oil.
[07:19] Narrator
    It's the first thing to do with a new skillet.
[07:25] Narrator
    Wash it well, heat it up,
    rub oil into it, and repeat.
[07:31] Narrator
    The handle gets super hot, so be careful.
[07:38] Aoi
    Come to think of it, I heard our history teacher,
    Tahara-sensei, is going on maternity leave.
[07:42] Chiaki
    Yeah, I heard.
[07:44] Chiaki
    The substitute teacher's coming in tomorrow.
[07:48] (Not) Sensei
    I'm your new homeroom teacher.
[07:50] (Not) Sensei
    Peace!
[07:51] Chiaki
    That would be hilarious.
[07:53] Aoi
    Sounds like a manga.
[07:55] Chiaki
    On another note, remember how we walked quite a bit last time we went camping?
[08:00] Aoi
    Oh, yeah.
[08:02] Chiaki
    I looked it up afterward, and there's a bus
    going from the station to Fuefuki Park.
[08:06] Chiaki
    And it's only 100 yen one way.
[08:08] Aoi
    Really?!
[08:16] Chiaki
    Are you okay?
[08:19] Aoi
    So we didn't have to climb
    up that hill with our stuff...
[08:23] Chiaki
    It's fine.
[08:24] Chiaki
    It's more memorable when you
    have to struggle a little.
[08:28] Aoi
    That's true, I guess.
[08:40] Aoi
    Camping's pretty fun when
    you actually try it out.
[08:43] Aoi
    I want to go again.
[08:46] Chiaki
    Then about our next camping trip...
[08:49] Chiaki
    Want to go somewhere really open?
[08:52] Aoi
    That place you scouted out, the one in the
    photo, was a forest campsite, though.
[08:59] Chiaki
    Is that enough oil?
[09:01] Aoi
    I think that's about right.
[09:03] Ena
    What are you two doing? An experiment?
[09:06] Aoi
    Oh, Saitou-san.
[09:07] Chiaki
    Saitou.
[09:13] Ena
    Huh.
[09:14] Ena
    So this is what you do with iron
    skillets before you use them.
[09:18] Ena
    That's cool.
[09:19] Narrator
    After repeating the heating and
    oil-rubbing four to five times,
[09:24] Narrator
    fry vegetable scraps or something similar in it,
[09:27] Narrator
    then boil some water in it and
    clean it well with a scrub brush.
[09:31] Narrator
    Finally, heat it once more,
    rub on some oil, and you're done.
[09:39] Chiaki
    This one's good to go, too.
[09:42] Chiaki
    See?
[09:46] Aoi
    It looks so elegant when it's oiled.
[09:56] [Texting] ->
    Let's all go Christmas camping
    once exams are over!
[10:00] Aoi
    She wants to go "Christmas camping."
[10:01] Chiaki
    Nice idea.
[10:03] Aoi
    I can't. I'm going to be spending
    Christmas with my boyfriend.
[10:07] Chiaki
    You have a boyfriend?!
[10:10] Aoi
    I'm kidding.
[10:12] Aoi
    I usually spend Christmas with my family,
[10:14] Aoi
    but camping with you guys might be good, too.
[10:18] Chiaki
    You have a family?!
[10:20] Aoi
    What's your problem?!
[10:23] Aoi
    Oh, hey, Saitou-san,
    want to come camping with us?
[10:27] Ena
    Huh? Me?
[10:30] Aoi
    We can make it a day trip,
    so you won't need a sleeping bag.
[10:33] Aoi
    Let's go.
[10:36] Ena
    I don't like the cold,
    but it sounds kind of fun.
[10:42] Ena
    Can I decide after exams?
[10:45] Aoi
    Sure.
[10:50] Ena
    I'm going home now.
[10:52] Ena
    See you, Inuyama-san, Ohgaki-san.
[10:55] Aoi
    Yeah, see you.
[10:57] Chiaki
    Later.
[11:04] Aoi
    Your wooden bowl's looking pretty good.
[11:06] Aoi
    Let's go home now.
[11:08] Chiaki
    Yeah.
[11:09] Chiaki
    But first...
[11:22] [Texting] <-
    This year's last Outclub camping trip...
[11:25] [Texting] <-
    Is going to be Christmas camping!
[11:29] Nadeshiko
    All right, I'm going to ace my exams!
[11:33] Chiaki
    Okay, time to have some soup
    in my newly-polished bowl.
[11:41] Chiaki
    It's just corn soup, but look what
    happens when you put it in a wood bowl.
[11:49] Chiaki
    Gross!
SIGN    Warning
[11:52] Narrator
    Acacia tableware without any
    coating has a distinct smell.
SIGN    Vinegar
[11:57] Narrator
    Soak it in diluted vinegar to
    remove the smell before using it.
[12:01] Chiaki
    That stinks!
[12:12] Nadeshiko
    Exams are over!
SIGN    No problem
[12:14] Aoi
    Now we just have to wait for the break.
[12:17] Aoi
    Yeah.
SIGN    Meh
SIGN    Barely made it
[12:20] Chiaki
    It was a piece of cake.
[12:27] Nadeshiko
    Huh?
[12:29] Nadeshiko
    Don't you two need to get off?
[12:31] Nadeshiko
    You missed your stop.
[12:35] Aoi
    We're going to Caribou, Nadeshiko-chan.
[12:38] Nadeshiko
    Caribou?
[12:43] Nadeshiko
    Wow, I never knew what Minobu
    Station looked like until now.
[12:47] Aoi
    It's a retro town.
[12:50] Nadeshiko
    What does Caribou sell?
[12:52] Aoi
    You'll find out when we get there.
SIGN    Houtou 
    Koshu Specialty
SIGN    Udon 
    Soba
[12:59] Nadeshiko
    I know what this is!
    It's miso udon with lots of veggies!
SIGN    Minobu Steamed Buns
[13:03] Nadeshiko
    Minobu steamed buns!
[13:05] Nadeshiko
    I wonder if they're a Minobu specialty.
[13:09] Nadeshiko
    It's a dog!
[13:12] Chiaki
    So are you.
[13:13] Aoi
    That's one hyper dog.
[13:21] Aoi
    We're here.
[13:24] Nadeshiko
    So Caribou is an outdoor shop!
[13:29] Aoi
    You've never been to an outdoor
    equipment shop, right?
[13:32] Nadeshiko
    I haven't.
[13:33] Aoi
    So Aki and I were saying we should
    come together after exams.
[13:38] Chiaki
    Be careful, though, Nadeshiko.
[13:42] Chiaki
    Inside is an army of expensive goods.
[13:45] Chiaki
    If you're ever in doubt,
    go outside and take a deep breath.
[13:48] Nadeshiko
    G-Got it.
[13:51] Chiaki
    It's going to get hairy.
[13:52] Chiaki
    Have you saved your game?
[13:54] Nadeshiko
    S-Save?
[13:56] Aoi
    Okay, let's go inside.
[14:18] Aoi
    Her heart's being stolen left and right.
[14:22] Nadeshiko
    This is the type of stove Rin-chan uses!
[14:27] Nadeshiko
    It gets so small when it's folded up.
[14:30] Nadeshiko
    This one has legs.
[14:33] Nadeshiko
    These ones are lanterns and heaters.
[14:40] Nadeshiko
    This one's cute!
[14:42] Nadeshiko
    A gas lantern... It's so nice.
[14:45] Shop clerk
    Want to try lighting it?
[14:47] Nadeshiko
    Can we?!
[14:52] Shop clerk
    It's gas-powered and easy to use.
[14:54] Shop clerk
    It's really popular.
[14:56] Shop clerk
    It's cute and retro, isn't it?
[14:59] Nadeshiko
    The dancing flame is like a little campfire.
[15:03] Shop clerk
    Would you like one?
[15:06] Nadeshiko
    Glance...
SIGN    Candle Gas Lamp 4,690 yen
[15:10] Nadeshiko
    I'll save money and come back.
[15:13] Shop clerk
    O-Okay.
[15:15] Nadeshiko
    Um, may I at least take
    pictures around the shop?
[15:19] Shop clerk
    Feel free to.
[15:47] Chiaki
    This tent's huge.
[15:49] Aoi
    It's a good one for families.
[15:53] Chiaki
    It's nothing like our 980-yen tent.
[15:58] Chiaki
    It's quite comfortable.
[16:02] Chiaki
    Bring me a blanket and pillow.
[16:04] Aoi
    You should knock it off
    before you get yelled at.
[16:07] Chiaki
    Oh, yeah! Mats!
[16:10] Chiaki
    We're going to need one for the next trip.
[16:13] Aoi
    Yeah.
[16:15] Nadeshiko
    The surface looks like an egg carton.
[16:18] Nadeshiko
    This one's round and small.
[16:20] Nadeshiko
    Is this a mat, too?
[16:22] Aoi
    Yeah.
[16:23] Aoi
    Broadly speaking, there are...
[16:25] ---
    Foam mats,
SIGN    Foam Type
SIGN    Air Type
[16:27] Aoi
    air mats,
SIGN    Inflatable Type
[16:29] Aoi
    and inflatable mats.
[16:32] Chiaki
    Each has its own unique features,
[16:34] Chiaki
    but inflatables are compact
    and the most comfortable.
[16:38] Chiaki
    Supposedly.
[16:40] Aoi
    Although we can only afford
    the 600-yen reflective mats.
[16:45] Nadeshiko
    But do we really need a mat?
[16:48] Nadeshiko
    Sleeping bags are fluffy and
    comfortable on their own.
SIGN    Cold   Cold   Cold   Cold   Cold   Cold   Cold
[16:51] (Professor) Chiaki
    Mats also serve to insulate
    you from the cold ground.
[16:54] (Professor) Chiaki
    They're a must-have for winter camping.
[16:57] Aoi
    Yeah.
[16:58] Aoi
    I woke up in the middle of the
    night at Eastwood, it got so cold.
[17:02] Nadeshiko
    Cold?
[17:04] Nadeshiko
    I guess it was.
[17:06] Nadeshiko
    I slept well, myself.
[17:08] Chiaki
    You sure are tough.
[17:11] Aoi
    Nadeshiko's a tough, resilient girl.
[17:17] Rin
    I'm home.
[17:19] Saki
    Welcome home.
[17:23] Rin
    I have work today, so I'm going out again.
[17:26] Saki
    Really?
[17:27] Saki
    Stay safe.
[17:32] Rin
    It's Nadeshiko.
[17:35] [Texting] ->
    Hashtag Caribou!
[17:36] Rin
    Caribou?
[17:38] Rin
    Oh, that shop.
[17:42] Rin
    She goes camping three times in a month,
    and now she's at an equipment shop.
[17:46] Rin
    That girl's completely
    hooked on the outdoors.
[17:52] Rin
    That camp dinner was really good, though.
[17:57] Rin
    What should I do next?
[18:03] Chiaki
    Camp chairs are so nice.
[18:06] Aoi
    I know.
[18:07] Aoi
    You're not so much sitting as melting into it.
[18:11] Aoi
    It's way too comfy.
[18:14] Chiaki
    I'm going to buy a camping
    chair when I get my paycheck.
[18:17] Aoi
    Don't set death flags.
[18:19] Nadeshiko
    I'm going take a bath after dinner.
[18:22] Aoi
    That would be a sad time to die.
[18:25] Chiaki
    The outdoors is an expensive hobby, though.
[18:28] Chiaki
    The price tag on that tent was
    three digits higher than ours.
[18:32] Aoi
    You gotta work hard, I guess.
[18:35] Nadeshiko
    By the way, where do you work, Aki-chan?
[18:39] Aoi
    Next to the supermarket where Inuko works.
[18:42] Nadeshiko
    The liquor store.
[18:45] Nadeshiko
    I had no idea.
[18:48] Nadeshiko
    I wonder if I could afford it if I got a job.
[18:52] Chiaki
    Oh, that reminds me.
[18:55] Chiaki
    Our new history teacher...
[18:56] Aoi
    You mean Toba-sensei?
[18:59] Chiaki
    Yeah.
[19:00] Nadeshiko
    She seems so nice.
[19:02] Nadeshiko
    And she's pretty.
[19:05] Chiaki
    The folks at the liquor store
    nicknamed her Miss Chug.
[19:10] Aoi
    Miss Chug?
[19:13] Chiaki
    She wanders in every afternoon
[19:16] Chiaki
    and goes home with a six-pack of beer.
[19:19] Aoi
    Wow, she must really like drinking.
[19:22] Nadeshiko
    I feel like I've met Toba-sensei
    somewhere... maybe...
[19:28] Nadeshiko
    Or not.
[19:30] Ena
    Thank you.
[19:32] Chiaki
    Wanna get some Minobu
    steamed buns on our way home?
[19:34] Ena
    Agreed!
SIGN    Minobu Steamed Buns 65 yen each
[19:40] Chiaki
    Three, please.
[19:41] Aoi
    I'll have three, too.
[19:43] Nadeshiko
    Then I'll have...
[19:44] Nadeshiko
    Ten, please!
[19:46] Aoi
    You eat a lot.
[19:47] Nadeshiko
    Half of them are for my family.
[19:50] Ena
    Have some tea, too.
[20:00] Chiaki
    We were lucky to get fresh-made ones.
[20:02] Nadeshiko
    They're nice and warm and plump.
[20:07] Aoi
    So warm and tasty.

    If you're Japanese, you gotta
    have steamed buns and tea, no?
[20:15] Nadeshiko
    No?
[20:19] Chiaki
    Not many people know about Minobu steamed
    buns compared to other local specialties.
[20:23] Chiaki
    Even though they're delicious.
[20:24] Aoi
    You're right.
[20:25] Aoi
    Maybe they'd be more popular
    if they had a song.
[20:29] Nadeshiko
    Minobu steamed buns...
[20:33] Chiaki
    That's "Auld Lang Syne."
[20:39] Nadeshiko
    All right.
[20:40] Nadeshiko
    I'm going to find a job and
    buy camping equipment.
[20:44] Nadeshiko
    And I'll have Minobu steamed
    buns on the way home.
[20:55] Nadeshiko
    I ate all of them.
[20:58] Nadeshiko
    I'm going to buy some more!
[21:01] Aoi
    She's the type whose paycheck
    ends up in her belly.
[21:04] Chiaki
    No?
[21:09] Aoi
    Hey, Aki...
[21:14] Aoi
    I'm going to...
[21:16] Aoi
    buy some more, too!
