My wife told me about this camping trip she was going on during the week when I couldn't go due to work. Of course, I had to decline since we can't just leave town without raising some eyebrows. But then she mentioned that there would be other people joining her, so I felt better about it. That night, she sent me a message saying that only four others were attending, which made me feel even more relaxed. However, things took a turn for the worse when I found out that the event wasn't official and they were heading deep into the mountains where communication would be difficult. It seemed like fate was conspiring against us...

「平日に？誰が行くんだよ…」ある日、妻のつむぎからキャンプの回覧を渡される。当然、僕は仕事で行けないと言ったが町内と婦人会の目を気にするつむぎは一人でも参加するらしい。大勢の人がいるなら心配ないかと妻を送り出したその夜、妻からメールで参加者が4人しかいないと知らされた。電波も悪く、引き返すことも困難な山奥で二泊三日…追い打ちをかけるように町内の人間から非公式のイベントであることを聞かされて…。
