The gang stops their red truck in the middle of the forest. The forest was pitch black. Crickets were chirping in the night time. Wolves were howling a beautiful melody. The owls were hooting crazy.

Surprisingly, Nagito builds a successful campfire. Hajime brings the steel skillet and sets it up on the campfire to cook the food.

"Let's get cooking!" Hajime said, with a smile.

He got all of the ingredients to make a cooked giant prawns with snow-peas. As he starts cooking the ingredients, Nagito gazes at Hajime, amazingly.

'Hajime looks so sexy when he's cooking.' He thought, dreamily.

Chaiki notices Nagito's dream-like gaze at Hajime.

"What's going through your mind, Nagito?" She teases.

Snapping back to reality, Nagito feels embarrass.

"C-Chaiki! I was just thinking about how this food is going to taste great. That's all!" Nagito said, timidly as he blushes.

"Okay. Just checking!" She reply with a wink as Chiaki went back to reading her book about gaming strategies.

'That is a close one!'  He sighs with relief.

"Food is ready! Dig in." He said as he gives his plates of food to Nagito, Chiaki, and even himself.

The teenagers sits down on their own log around the campfire and eat their food. The fire gives off a warm atomosphere.

"This is delicious, Hajime! Maybe I'll cook you guys something really good the next time we're camping." Nagito exclaims.

"Ko, I'm going to be bluntly honest to you. Your cooking skills sucks. You're a terrible cook just like Arthur Kirkland." The brunette explains.

"For your information, Arthur Kirkland is a WAY terrible cook than me. Besides, if anyone can make recipes and roasts people than it's Gordon Ramsey." The white-haired teen replied with smirk.

The light-haired gamer laughs at his comeback. While the duo eat their food and chat about their adventures, Chiaki starts to become quiet and just stares at her plate. She is halfway there to finishing her food. The two boys were concern about her feeling upset.

"Hey, Chi! What's the matter?" Hajime said as he and Nagito finishes eating their dinner.

She looks up to the duo with a sad look. Chiaki figures that it's best not to bottle up her pain.

"Honestly...I feel scared and guilty. Back at the Gil's Pitstop, when that woman aim her gun at you, Hajime...I was shocked so I had to do something by trying to knock her out with my gun. Just as I was about to do it , the door slamed behind me. She quickly turns around to shoot me but...I shot her quickly. It was so real. I can't believe that I almost got killed and shot a human being. Wherever I looked at my gun, it reminds me of how I got my first kill in the real life. I don't know how I'll be able to move on from this nightmare." Chiaki whispers.
