As a veteran indoor-girl, Sogo Doma truly couldn't understand why his little sister had gotten the idea to go camping. Living out in the wilderness might not be particularly dangerous, but the countless trivial inconveniences of daily life should have been enough to put her off, shouldn't they? Camping, huh? Sogo Doma smiled coldly. "Umaru, do you know how to find water in the wild? Or how to look for food...?"
