The following morning, the friends gathered around the campfire, fueled by excitement for the treasure hunt. Genya had his trusty compass in hand, ready to lead the way. Senjuro clung to Genya's side, a mix of nervousness and anticipation evident on his face.

"Alright, everyone, let's follow the clues and find that treasure!" Genya declared with determination.

As they trekked through the forest, the riddles led them to various landmarks and hidden spots. Each clue revealed a piece of the puzzle, bringing them closer to the elusive treasure. Ume and Nezuko's enthusiasm was contagious, and soon, even Muichiro showed a hint of excitement as he solved one of the riddles with ease.

"I can't believe how good you are at this, Muichiro!" Nezuko praised, her admiration evident in her voice.

"It's all about paying attention to the details," Muichiro replied modestly, offering a small smile.

Along the way, they encountered a playful raccoon that seemed to be following them. Ume, always ready for a good joke, started calling it their "treasure-hunting mascot," much to everyone's amusement.

As the sun reached its peak, they found themselves at a breathtaking waterfall. The sound of rushing water filled the air, creating a serene backdrop for their adventure. Senjuro couldn't resist the opportunity to dip his feet in the cool water, which brought laughter from the group.

"We should name this place," Nezuko suggested playfully. "How about 'Treasure Falls?'"

The others agreed, and with a chuckle, they continued their quest. The final clue led them to a giant tree with a carving that matched the one in the old book. Excitement and anticipation coursed through their veins, knowing that the treasure was near.

As they searched around the tree, Ume suddenly realized something was amiss. "Hey, where's the map?" she asked, patting her pockets frantically.

Everyone stopped searching and turned their attention to Ume. "You didn't lose it, did you?" Genya asked, concern crossing his face.

Ume's eyes widened, and she shook her head. "I had it just a moment ago!" she exclaimed, her voice tinged with worry.

Muichiro, who had been silently observing, pointed towards a nearby bush. "Isn't that it?" he said calmly, surprising everyone.

Sure enough, the map had somehow gotten tangled in the bush, seemingly blown away by the wind. Ume let out a sigh of relief and retrieved the precious document. "Thanks, Muichiro," she said with gratitude, her tough exterior softened.

"No problem," Muichiro replied nonchalantly, not showing much emotion, but the corners of his lips twitched upwards, indicating a hint of pride.

With the map safely in hand, they resumed their search. Following the final clue, they uncovered the treasure hidden beneath a pile of rocks. Their excitement was palpable as they opened the box to reveal a collection of old, vintage coins and a heartfelt message from the past adventurers.

"It's like we're part of a treasure hunt from a movie!" Nezuko exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with wonder.

As they admired the treasure, Genya suggested, "Let's each take a coin as a memento of this amazing adventure."

The group agreed, and they carefully divided the coins, each taking one to remember the day they had found the hidden treasure.

Back at the campsite, they celebrated their success with a feast of roasted marshmallows and campfire-cooked hot dogs. Laughter filled the air as they shared stories and fond memories of their journey.

"I can't believe we did it!" Senjuro beamed, his timidness replaced by newfound confidence.

Ume grinned, patting Senjuro's back. "You were amazing, Senjuro! A true adventurer!" she praised, earning a shy but proud smile from him.

Genya couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment, knowing that he had led his friends on this exciting quest. "We make a great team," he said, his voice tinged with pride.

As the night grew darker, they sat around the campfire, cherishing the camaraderie they had built. The treasure might have been what they sought, but it was the treasure of their friendship that they valued most.

With hearts full of joy and a newfound sense of adventure, they drifted off to sleep under the starry sky. Little did they know that this camping trip would leave a lasting mark on their lives, strengthening their bond and leaving them with memories to cherish forever.

And so, the night wrapped them in the warmth of friendship as the crackling campfire flickered softly, illuminating their smiling faces. The treasure hunt might have come to an end, but their journey of friendship and camaraderie had only just begun.
