Chapter 25 - The Warmth of Camping



Eastwood Campground has 23 single-family campsites and is located in a wooded setting next to the Mondeaux Flowage within the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Campsites are suitable for tents, trailers and RVs (no hookups). Each site also has a table, fire ring and grate. Campground amenities include drinking water, vault toilets and trash recycling. A dump station is also located nearby in the picnic area.

If we talking about area recreation and info, Eastwood Campground allows visitor to access the Mondeaux Flowage from the campground as well as the Ice Age National Scenic Trail. The lake is popular for fishing, boating, kayaking/canoeing and swimming. Other activities include biking, hunting, picnicking and wildlife viewing.

There is also some amenities in the Eastwood, such as BBQ Grills, Boat Ramp, Campground Host, Campsite Tables, Drinking Water, Dump Station, Fire Pit, Fire Rings, Firewood Available, Grills, Pets OK, Picnic Tables, Recycling Center, and Restrooms (Vault Toilets).

Also many activities happened in the Eastwood, but mainly it's used as campsite or camping by people. Eleonora who came to the campsite together with Nadeshiko and her friends felt amazed by the campsite. It's so beautiful and the air is very fresh, she can breathe a fresh air and felt the nature atmosphere in here. It's only take them several minutes, approximately 30 minutes walking and they're glad that the group arrived right on the schedule.

'I'm glad we arrived on time. Haha… Eleonora-san really helpful, had we laze around comfortably because of the onsen and the fried onsen egg, then we would arrived late and night will come. I don't really want that really happened.'

Thought Chiaki with sweatdrop and smile weakly along with Aoi who did the same while Eleonora and Nadeshiko just smiled; Eleonora smiled because she think it's really worth the walking to visit such campsite while Nadeshiko smiled happily and full of anticipation because she wondered what will happened on this camping she goes through; it's considered her second camping and her unofficial first camping with group.

But she rubs her chin and thinking again.

'Although we would go earlier than we've expected if we use the teleportation magic that Eleonora-san has. Well, I think this is also fine since we arrived on time and not late also not causing trouble to the manager of this campsite.'

Then she felt something touch her shoulder and made a bit starled as who was do that as she turn around and found it's Eleonora who smiled at her. Her face flushed as she gain a good look of Eleonora smile and her face, she really enthralled by her beautiful and elegant face which also shown Chiaki the 'gentleness' of Eleonora.

"E-Eleonora-san, wha-what's wrong?"

"Chiaki-san, don't just stand in here, let's set up the tent or it would be night already when we do that."

Hearing that, Chiaki flushed in embarrassment and nods her head quickly as in her mind she really embarrassed.

"Y-Yes! Come on guy, let's us set up the tent! Inuko, help me carrying the firewood and Kagamihara, found us a good spot."

"Yeah!"

As Chiaki instructed Aoi and Nadeshiko, she then goes with Aoi to carrying the firewood while Eleonora just go with Nadeshiko as she already carrying their luggage since she has [Inventory] on her. It's really easy and she doesn't have to rely on brute strength to carry all of it. Because generally in term of brute strength, women or girls is a bit weaker than men.

While Eleonora and Nadeshiko busy with their works, on the other hand we move to Chiaki and Aoi who currently about to carries the firewoods they would need to start a campfire or barbequeing their meats if they have it.

The glasses-bluish purple hair just sighed as she carry some firewood, which makes the chest-length brown hair girl with kansai accent a bit confused at her as she slightly tilt her head and opened her mouth as she want to ask her.

"Aki, what's wrong? You seems a bit troubled."

Hearing her close and best friend said that, Chiaki turned her head and look at her with tired face.

"Inuko, why Eleonora-san seems so… handsome! Even though she's a woman… I mean, she's younger than us yet she has that wonderful body and look! Isn't it unfair to me who's flat as board? And I'm not that cute or beautiful like her either. On top of that, she's rich as hell and her s.e.x.u.a.l prefences is really… something…"

For Aoi, hearing her best friend rant is like daily occurrence and she doesn't have any problem with it, but sometimes she found her rant a bit annoying and also amazed by it. She sometimes surprised but today she totally surprised by the fact that her friend ranting about Eleonora Pendragon; a young girl who has the appearance and act like an a.d.u.l.t.

Then, Aoi respond to it while tap her chin with her finger as she also wondering.

"Mhm… honestly Aki, I don't know that much about Eleonora-san since we only know her today but I agreed with you that she's really unusual girl. Although there's a case where some people have an unsual body that doesn't match their age. But she's Nadeshiko-chan sister-in-law, so maybe we can know more about her if she somehow tell us about herself? By doing that, we may know her more later."

"Umh… you're right, Inuko. She's really someone I've never meet. I mean, I never seen someone like her. Young, charismatic, beautiful, elegant, seems smart, calm, mature and have same s.e.x relationship on top of that. She also rich and powerful since she knew about magic."

Chiaki went depressed again as she hung her head and looked down and sighing.

"But… really, is it really fair for someone like her to appear? I mean, I'm not actually hate her or it's not her fault too, but… you know my feeling! Aren't you, Inuko?!"

Aoi just smile weakly and went awkward when being asked like that by her glasses bluish-haired girl who went in frustration. Although it's indicating that Chiaki is always in her usual self and what she said earlier about getting to know more about Eleonora made the tooth-fang girl blushed slightly.

'We already got her number and next would be sending her message… maybe I should do that. But it's not like I have ulterior motive. Yeah, it's just to get a new friend! Although… it's not bad if I become her girlfriend later.'

She smiled as she thought of that and can't hear what her friend saying while they still carrying the firewoods as they walked to the place that was chosen as their site to set up the tent, since she quickly check the message that was sent by Nadeshiko earlier.

Meanwhile Eleonora and Nadeshiko…

"Nadeshiko-chan, is there anything I can help?"

"No problem, Leo-neechan! I can do this! And look, this spot is really good and we can see a beautiful view from there. Oh, and the ground is soft enough. There's no rock or anything that might cause a harm when we set up sleeping bag."

Eleonora just smiled at Nadeshiko enthusiasm and full of energy, she then opened her [Inventory] and takes out all the luggage and belongings that is prepared for the camping. She also store hers inside, let's not forget about some snack if they want to; although Nadeshiko insisted to cooking curry for today camping.

"Alright, then let me help you to set up the tent too. Here,, Nadeshiko-chan."

"Um! Thank you, Leo-neechan! Ah, mine with Aki-chan and Aoi-chan's colors is really match. How about yours, Leo-neechan?"

"It's something I order from Amazon. Only ¥14,000 with the shipping cost."

Nadeshiko mouth opened widely as she went in shock when heard the amount of money that been told by Eleonora to her. Her mind completely froze and trying to assimilate the word that was said since it made her into a shock because she can't handle it well enough. And after a few minutes, she went normal and snapped back her conscious.

"Leo-neechan, that's really expensive! With that much money, how many food I can get? But… with that much money I can also get that cute lamp…"

She mumbling to herself and leave Eleonora alone to sweatdrop as she still trying to set up the tent. Luckily that Eleonora also already reads a few books of camping and tent before going to camping together with the three of them, so she at least know how to handle the tent. Like how to set it up and since she's genius, she also knew it already without someone told her about what she has to do.

"Hm… how about next time I buy you a new sleeping bag? And keep it secret from Sakura-nee if you want it. How's that, Nadeshiko-chan?"

"Really?! Uhm! I will keep it secret from onee-chan. Thank you, Leo-neechan!"

"Good. Come on, let's finish setting up the tent and others before they came back carrying the firewoods we need."

"Yeah! I want to make a dish that suitable for camper. Look forward to it, Leo-neechan!"

"Of course, your cooking is always good. You would be a great wife someday."

Nadeshiko blushed slightly at the praise she get from Eleonora and smiled happily as she help Eleonora finished the tent and a few minutes later, they sees Chiaki and Aoi who's back carrying the firewoods they need for fire and maybe some cooking in case if the gas stove is out and they don't carry another gas.

A few minutes later after they prepare everything, they then went chill and comfortable viewing the beautiful landscape together with some warm and hot drink that accompany them when they also talking about anything that crossing through their heads.

Eleonora happy to be able learn some stuffs about Nadeshiko and her friends high school life, she also learn something about Chiaki and Aoi.

'Hm… so their club is so small as they don't have that much member to able receive an upgrade? That's… seems a bad system as they didn't see the potential of outdoor activity such as camping. But well, even if I interfere and did some change on the school, it will added some works for me and made people who are cares about me worried since they always seems uncomfortable with how much work I handle.'

She just sighed mentally, Eleonora don't want to worry them and she maybe have to lessen the worklist she has when going home or they would be mad if the long bluish-haired chairman still kept the same habit of it. She really need to change herself to become better than her past self.

Nadeshiko's friends also got some benefits by talking with Eleonora. They can get some new information about the young chairman, especially Aoi who has crush on Eleonora and want to know more about her. Well, Chiaki also the same but she still don't realize it and she has to wait by realized it herself or just let others or her friends told her about it.

It's not like their fault that they got enthralled and suddenly fell in love by how beautiful and gentle Eleonora is. From their point of view, Eleonora could be a perfect boyfriend (?) or girlfriend material that can take care of theirselves yet they still don't know all about the girl and they would be surprised more if they dug more the information about her.

But both of them atleast right now can confirm that Eleonora is kind and good person. They can also confirm that Eleonora is a person who will achieve great deed or achievement in the future. Someone who can aim higher than anyone else and doing it flawlessly; her name might even recorded in the history if she kept pursue the top and becomes the greatest.

And Aoi think of this deep in her mind and heart.

'I'm really not wrong to fall in love with someone like Eleonora-san. Although I didn't expect anything of that, but women or girl always trying to find someone who has the good potential to be their lover in the future; to ensure the future of my family and others.'

She just flashed a small happy smile on her lips.

Lastation is a country that full of smokes. It's has the steam-punk theme and rather dark other than any landmasses or countries beside it. That condition is before the landmass going undergo some changes and made it less smoky and little cleaner, also there are more modern buildings in there and the citizen happiness is increased and less disappointed than before. It took the CPU of this country few years to develop this into what currently it is, since the support she got previously isn't that many and her landmass is not forming an alliances with other landmasses.

Although the time is too long, the result didn't betray the effort they do. The economy, industrial, citizen, and others already been stable and don't shown any serious problem that might cause the landmass in bad state.

Black Heart, the CPU of Lastation, somehow has to be satisfied with this kind of result even though she would expect more since she's a bit perfection about almost everything, but to do that she need the help of many people who talented enough to manage the landmass or help her to do it like giving any advice or tips.

Although she has an Oracle, someone who did the job when the goddess can't do that and taking over the role of CPU for a while; she still that Oracle isn't capable to run over the whole landmass like she did since she's being known as workaholic and always work whenever she has the chance. Her main goal is to make Lastation the top and high-ranked landmass in Gamindustri.

The pale-skinned girl with very long black hair about waist length that was styled in twintail just sighed tiredly and pinches her nose as if she's tired while she currently sorted out some doc.u.ments that was piled in the desk in front of her right now. She shake her head in frustration as she just now about to have a thought to abandon it and let her Oracle, Jinguji Kei, a short girl that has boyish-cut silver hair has worried expression on her face seeing her boss in trouble.

Both the CPU and Oracle are workaholic and dedicated to their work. But the Oracle cannot bear to see a person she look the most in troubled state like this. That's why, trying to be brave and gather up some courage, the boyish-cut silver hair girl decided to confront and ask that to her.

"U-Um, Black Heart-sama… can you share most of your work to me? I've seen you sorted out most of it and still not finished. I'm worried if you overwork yourself, Black Heart-sama."

Blinked and heard that, Black Heart or someone who known as Noire in her human form, looked up and see her Oracle saying that with worried expression, although Noire could also see that she trying to be polite as possible since the one who she ask is a goddess and has highest-ranked than her.

Seeing this, Noire put on small smile and felt awkward since she got person than Uni or her friends worried about her.

"A-Ah… Kei, sorry about that. I can't trouble you with this, it's my job and you already helped me so much. It's okay, this is normal since our land is still growing and become better at the time, I'm the one who want to do it anyway."

Kei's request rejected and made the boyish girl felt down for a moment but then she brighten up a little and said something to Noire.

"Then Black Heart-sama, how about you take a break for a while? It's not only me who worry about you, even Black Sister always told you to take a break sometimes. You already holed up in your office for a month and still taking care of paperworks."

"Really?! A whole month…? I… didn't noticed it."

Kei sighed in relief and coughed as she continue.

"Then, I suggest you stop working for now. How about we go to other landmass and play with them? It's good to seeing one of your friend and pay them a visit."

Noire instantly fl.u.s.tered in embarrassment as her cheeks goes red when heard the word 'friend' from someone none other than Kei who hardly know the meaning of that and how bad she is at getting a friend; just like how Noire she is.

"F-F-F-Friend?! T-They're not friend…! Yeah, they're not… my friend. But since you said that… t-then I wouldn't mind to pay them a visit. I mean, most of this paperwork doesn't have to be finished right away since the deadline is still far."

Jinguji Kei flashed small smile and nodded at Noire, happy since her Oracle heard her advice.

"Then, how about Planeptune? I heard that Purple Heart-sama currently have something interesting in there."

This made Noire slightly tilt her head in confusion.

"Something interesting…? I hope it's not something weird. She always has the habit to be weird and not anything she have is good. But well, it's not that hurt to see it. What's so interesting about it anyway?"

Noire said that with her usual tone as she brushed her hair. Kei then takes out her phone and began to read some message on it that contain about what currently happened in Planeptune or specifically it's a message directly from Neptune that told her about it.

"Apparently, it's something akin to teleportation device that goes through alternate reality. She currently lack some of the parts or ingredient to complete it but the machine seems worked enough even though it's dubbed as incomplete."



"WHAT?! TELEPORTATION DEVICE?!"

Kei just quickly nodded as she a bit startled by the sudden outburst from Noire. The twintail-haired girl just took a deep breath and letting it out as she pinches her nose again.

"Ah… that stupid Neptune. Looks like I have to worry about one more thing. Come on, Kei. Let's go to Planeptune. Neptune isn't that smart enough to handle such important device and it will turned out bad if she involved on it."

"Y-Yes!"

With that, both of them then immediately set off their destination and decided to visit Planeptune as they heard the news about Neptune owned a teleportation device that can allows someone to go through alternate reality or another world.

After setting up a tent and finished chatting to each other, sky became dark and night comes, allowing the people who are camper and settle to camp in Eastwood Campground to watch the beautiful landscape that was given to them by the sky. The night sky that full of stars became a feasts to the eyes of people under it, including Eleonora, Nadeshiko, Chiaki, and Aoi who currently watching from their tent; the three girls even decided to take a photo of the sky since it's beautiful.

"It's really beautiful…"

Said Nadeshiko as she mesmerized by it, Eleonora just nodded and patting her head slowly yet gentle. Both of them decided to stayed in single tent, since Eleonora's tent is wide and could fill two people in it, the other reason is that just because Nadeshiko become spoiled and want to sleep with her beloved sister-in-law but Eleonora isn't heartless, so she accept that and allow the pink-haired girl to sleep with her.

The long bluish-haired girl just nodded at Nadeshiko.

"It is. How about you send one of your friend about this? The solo camping girl I think. She's alone today, right?"

Nadeshiko bobbing her head in agreement about what Eleonora said and immediately get back into the tent as she quickly send the captured photo of the night sky. The thirteen years old girl just snorted and amused at the behavior of that girl which has not changed at all. She still the same glutton energetic and bubbly kind girl who has the aura to make people pamper and spoils her a lot.

Eleonora is the one who got affected by that and honestly, she didn't think it was bad. Rather she enjoys it. Because Nadeshiko is kind and polite, even though sometimes she can be bothersome and annoy someone, but only some people who would felt that. Someone like Sakura, Nadeshiko's sister, who sometimes always worried about how immature the pink-haired girl and can cause some trouble.

As Nadeshiko busy herself with her things, Eleonora get out of the tent and trying to take the fresh air that surprisingly still around in this modern society, but she could expect of it in a place like this camp site that has some nature in it. Although not much, she can breathe some fresh air and relax herself, time like this are somehow is cherished by the thirteen years old girl.

While enjoying herself, Eleonora noticed a chest-length brown haired with kansai accent girl that she knew came out too from her tent. Their eyes meets and Aoi blushed slightly until she shows Eleonora warm and polite smile while Eleonora respond it with nods and smile as she trying to walk closer to Aoi.

"Out to get a fresh air, Aoi-san?"

Aoi nodded.

"Yes, it's felt refreshing and kinda good, Eleonora-san. I've never get bored of this."

Eleonora let out a hearty laugh, Aoi who saw it just smiled warmly at Eleonora, the gaze she throw to the long bluish-haired girl is similar like how a girl to her lover do. When Eleonora stopped laugh, she noticed the gaze that was given to her by Aoi and smiled widely. It's really obvious to her.

'Aoi-san really has a crush on me and she showed some sign of it without she realizes it herself. Well… I can't take advantage of it without a permission from Sakura-nee. She could be the one who manage the girls in my harem, even though Sonoka-nee is the one who met with me first.'

She scratched her cheeks when thinking of that. The reason why Kagamihara Sakura is the one who be the alpha of her harem is because only her who can manage it so well and Eleonora herself already agreed to it, so is the other harem members who not utter complain to it since they also agreed with the proposal and rules.

Yeah, they even set up some rules but it didn't restrict Eleonora that much since they knew that she also need some freedom and she didn't mind it at all. After all, Eleonora isn't the type who seek girls or harem like any protagonist who did that. She only lucky that some girls/women she encounter captivated by her and willingly to be her lovers.

Opened her [Inventory], she taking out some hot coffee she make yesterday. It's amazing that anything she stored inside it won't rot and frozen, although she felt it's the time to upgrade the [Inventory] so it could stored living beings too; a perfect [Inventory] that could give her some good benefits.

She then give one of the cup of coffee to Aoi.

"Here, Aoi-san. Must be cold."

She said that while Aoi nodded and accepted that.

"Thank you, Eleonora-san. It's still amazing that I found magic is real. I thought it's only happened in fiction."

"Well, I too pretty much think it like that, but without trying it I don't know. So that's why I'm trying to unlock it in a whim and surprisingly, I have the potential to wield an amazing power such as magic. It's also pretty easy for to use."

Eleonora said that while she materialized a purple hair band with the shape of wing. Aoi who watched it became amazed since this is probably her third time to witness such thing as magic. She couldn't hide her expression of it, which makes Eleonora find it cute.

The long bluish-haired girl then spoke.

"Aoi-san, here it is. For you."

Aoi of course surprised by it and dumbfounded.

"Eh…? Is this okay, Eleonora-san?"

"Yes, I made it for you. Please take it, I insist."

"T-Then, thank you very much."

And then Aoi take the purple hair band that was created by Eleonora and smiled while looking at it. This is probably becomes the day that she never forget in her entire life.
