Inspired by a day with nature, happy-go-lucky high schooler Kokoro Sato decided to join the Scouting club, assuming that it's just all about camping and staying with the wild...but she was all wrong.
Her clubmates thought that she will give up Scout...

Aaaah...this is the life.
What a way to start the weekend! A freshly-cooked beef stew cooking by the bonfire, the chilly mountain wind...and the great view of the lake from my do-it-yourself camping tent. I'm gonna enjoy this night and the best thing about it is...I have this camp spot all by myself! Hehe-huh?
"HAAA!!!"
I heard a loud voice from the woods, followed by a louder rustle of leaves. I looked around and I saw a young high-school girl, lying next to the bushes. Bummer...I've just said that I can camp and sleep here alone, but...sigh. Though I do wanna want to check at her if she's hurt.
I rose from my seat and walk towards the bushes, where the girl is now sitting and looking at me.
"Ah...ah...I can explain!" Suddenly, the girl blushes and waves her hands at me. "I'm not really trespassing here, I'm merely just lost here. Ple-please don't take me to the po-police!"
The way the girl tries to defend herself makes me burst into laughter. Clearly, this girl is really lost and she has no idea where she is right now, but I need to tell her the truth...that she is not trespassing at all.
"Alright...sniff...hehehe...let me explain here." I would like to clear things up so I stopped laughing. "You're in the public camp spot now in the Yasuda City Nature Park. And yeah, you've spoiled my me time here."
"My bad!" The girl then giggles shyly as I pout at her. "I didn't intend to interrupt your relaxation."
"No worries. There's no harm done." Then I offer my hand to get her up. "Anyway, are you hurt or anything?"
"Nope, I'm fine." The girl accepted my hand and stands up, before sweeping the dirt off her school uniform.
"As far as I remember, you're lost, right?" The girl nodded in reply. "Well, you can stay here for awhile and rest."
"Really?!?!" The girl's eyes sparkle in excitement as we walk back to the camp spot. It seems that the girl likes spending time with nature, huh?
Good thing that I carry an additional chair with me, originally intended to set up as my bed when I had a mood to sleep under the stars. I bring out the chair for the girl to sit.
"Thank you! Hehehe!" The girl is really grateful with my seat offer, then she smells the food that I cook. "Mmmm...smells delish! Is that beef stew?"
"Woah! How did you know?" I'm astonished that she can able to know my food even the pot is covered.
"Well...the smell is obviously familiar since my maids cooked it for me."
"Wait? Ma-maids?!" I'm startled with her revelation. "Are you a rich girl?"
"Umm...yeah. What about it?" The girl seems confused.
"Huh...I was expecting fiery comments and you will leave this campground all by yourself since you don't like bonding with nature." I said my presumption to her. "But right now, you just sit and gaze at the view with me."
