Time: March 23rd (back-dated), mid-afternoon > March 24th, morning

Description: The team at Metokkori R and Hikan Cafe have a camping trip complete with marshmallows, curry and an unknown enemy attacking them in the middle of the night.






'Work is important, but what is just as important is to have fun, de arimasu. The team that plays and works together, stays together, de arimasu!'

Was what Keroro said right before announcing their first annual team-bonding camping trip.

The site was chosen as the park, simply because it was free and open. That and Keroro just wasn't all that interested in going out in the desert and being carried away by vultures.

Now get to bonding! What do you think he's giving you guys a half day off for?!

Don't say that like I'm going to prison, de arimasu. And there's no need to worry, I always know what I'm doing, de arimasu. [Not really. But he likes to pretend that he does.

And no. That would be Hughes before it'd be Yamazaki. But he could be Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Boss.]

[anpan_tan]

Alright, it's actually a bit hard to worry for someone like you. But if you'd go to prison for some reason, I'll take you a pair of warm socks. And cigarettes.

[A Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Vice-Boss must do this for his former boss!]

[starfruitfrog]

It's good of you to offer, but I'm really not going to prison, de arimasu.

[Former...boss...]

[anpan_tan]

My mother taught me to be kind to people in need.

[NO, NO FORMER BOSS, THE ONE AND ONLY BOSS, A BOSS OVER ALL!!!

[starfruitfrog]

That's...good, de arimasu? I won't need it though, de arimasu.

Now can you put the handcuffs on, de arimasu?

[anpan_tan]

Yes, but..Who is my partner? You can't cuff me to a killing machine or a psycho! Please!

[starfruitfrog]

I'm pretty sure we don't have people like that working here, de arimasu.

[anpan_tan]

Are you sure of it? I'm afraid there are some very unstable people working for you!

[No, he doesn't think he's one of those people.]

[starfruitfrog]

There aren't, de arimasu. They're all good people, de arimasu.

[anpan_tan]

But Boss-san...

[Yamazaki reddens and turns away in embarrassment.]

[starfruitfrog]

[...Why is that guy getting embarassed, de arimasu.]

Anyway, de arimasu. Are you doing this or not, de arimasu?

[anpan_tan]

[A compliment from the Boss!!!]

I'll do, I'll do! Where are those cuffs?

[starfruitfrog]

Here, of course, de arimasu.

And...I've got the perfect partner for you, de arimasu.

[anpan_tan]

I am pretty sure you did, Boss-san! You're a genius by birth, so you obviously won't pair me up with Saya-chan, right?

[starfruitfrog]

Of course not, de arimasu. Your partner is--

[Excuse him a moment while he goes to drag a stepladder (which looks like the one they normally have at the shop) over to Yamazaki.]

--"Itou", de arimasu.

[anpan_tan]

[Pardon?]

Itou-kun? But he went home a long time ago!

[starfruitfrog]

He's here with us in spirit, de arimasu. [Keroro pats a step of the ladder with his hand.

The ladder which he has dubbed, 'Itou II']

[anpan_tan]

But...should I run around in the park blindfolded and handcuffed to Itou the Ladder?

[Best day of his life!]

[starfruitfrog]

Of course, de arimasu. I'm sure you can do it, de arimasu!
