The Outdoor Cooking event was held at a pavilion on the grounds, which housed both stainless steel kitchen sets and traditional outdoor ovens built from concrete blocks. Under the pavilion roof, Kyousuke and the other freshmen diligently applied themselves to cooking.

“Ah, shit… This really isn’t going well. Is this really all we need…?”

“Oh dear, do your best! You can do it, Kyousuke, for sure!”

Maina was putting every effort into cheering on Kyousuke, who was looking despondent. Sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, he struggled with a wooden plank and dowel.

The friction between the upright dowel and the plank was supposed to create a spark—a primitive method for building a fire. They had neither matches nor a lighter; the only other thing that had been provided was a bit of newspaper. Students on hearth duty were expected to start a fire using only the tools they’d been given.

Of course, their squad member Mohawk chose that moment to pull a flamethrower seemingly from thin air. “Hya-ha, let’s finish thiiiiiis!” he shouted triumphantly, preparing to set the hearth ablaze.

“I’ll finish you!” Kurumiya snatched the flamethrower away, and burned him to a crisp. He was carried away on a stretcher.

Kyousuke, who didn’t want to get torched himself, made an honest effort to light the fire as instructed, but… “Hey, you know…is this even possible? I’m getting nothing.” He wiped away sweat with the towel around his neck.

Working in the same cooking area, the other squads on hearth duty also seemed to be fighting hard to light a fire, as weak voices came from here and there, saying things like, “My arms are at their limit…” and “I’m confident when it comes to arson, but…” and “Can’t we just eat it raw?”

Then, from among them:

“Paleo fire staaaaaaaaaaaarteeeeeeeeeeeer!” There was one student who worked the rod with staggering speed. A high-fashion girl with a flour sack on her head—it was Bob. As she dexterously turned the dowel at great speed between her large palms, smoke began to rise before their eyes from a small orange ember. “……?! Now, Renkoooooo!”

“Yeah, leave it to me! Kksshhhhhh…kksshhhhhh!” Renko quickly added the newspaper and began blowing on the fledgling coal. However, perhaps because she was wearing a gas mask, she could barely give it any air. Bob’s and Renko’s strenuous efforts seemed futile as their coal began to die…

It’s hopeless, isn’t it?! Everyone looked ready to give up.

“Please leave it to us, GMK!” Two of the male students working on hearth duty nearby abandoned their fire-making tools. Lining their faces up next to Renko’s, they began to blow.

“Y-you guys are…!”

The ember, now fed with plenty of oxygen, began to grow—

“It li i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i t!”

Before the roaring blaze of a fire, the four of them let out a roar of their own. The leaden mood under the pavilion was lifted by smiling faces, and the air filled with applause and cheers.

Pushing a towel up under her flour sack to wipe away at her sweat, Bob flashed a sideways peace sign and said,
