There wasn’t much time until the camp began, and that time had gone by at a rapid pace, as we’d held meeting after meeting. All because my summer break was short. The planning stage had overlapped with the exam period before summer vacation, which had honestly been exhausting. Toriko was already on break. Oh, how I resented her. I don’t even know how many times I ground my teeth when I saw her in the window of our video call, dressed casually and eating ice cream. Yet every time she was on a call, she’d done her makeup, and was wearing a different outfit. I was like, What’s with her?

Somehow, I got through all of it, and made it to my own belated summer break. There was no time to relax, though, because it was off to camp on the very first day. I headed out with my stuff, then traveled through the city of Tokyo—which, even in the morning, was already so hot and humid that I felt like I was swimming—and arrived in Tameike-Sannou. When I reached the underground parking lot of the DS Research building, there were more people than I’d ever seen down there before.

“Good morniiing...”

“Good morning, Kamikoshi-san. I look forward to working with you today.”

Migiwa, who was polite as always, had taken off his jacket, and wore a gray T-shirt and cargo pants as he busily worked to prepare for departure. It was my first time seeing him in anything other than a suit; the Mayan tattoos that densely covered both his arms were now on full display. Normally, that would have made him stand out like a sore thumb, but not today. There were more than ten operators from Torchlight in the parking lot, and pretty much all of them had a tattoo somewhere.

“Morning, Sorawo,” Toriko said, pushing her way through the crowd as she approached. She’d taken off her jacket and wrapped it around her waist. The two of us went and set our stuff down at the foot of a pillar that was a short distance from the crowd.

“They’ve all got incredible tattoos, huh?” Toriko said as she looked all around. I guess the same thing caught both of our attention.

“Yeah, they’re pretty amazing. Do you think soldiers are all like this?”

“Could be, for a lot of them. Mama had some tattoos too.”

“Maybe it’s a cultural thing.”

“That’s part of it, and I hear some people get them so that their body can be identified even if they get blown to bits on the battlefield.”

“Blown to bits...”

As I shuddered at this incredible reason I would never have imagined, Toriko moved her face close to me.

“You want to get some too?”

“You brought that up before.”

“It’s super common to get tattoos in Canada, so I don’t really have anything against it. Do you dislike them, Sorawo?”

“They do leave a bad impression on people here in Japan. And it sounds painful.”

“Maybe a tiny one would be okay?”

“If you don’t have anything against getting one, why haven’t you, Toriko?”

“Family policy.
