"On a weekday? Who would go..." One day, my wife Tsugumi handed me a camp notice. Naturally, I said I couldn't go because of work, but Tsugumi, mindful of the neighborhood and women's association's opinions, seemed determined to participate even if she went alone. Since there were many people, I thought it would be fine and sent her off. That night, I received an email from my wife saying that there were only four participants. The signal was bad, and it was difficult to turn back in the deep mountains... for a two-night, three-day trip... To make matters worse, I found out from the neighborhood that this was an unofficial event...
