>You buy medical supplies. Just the basics: Bandages for cuts, occlusive bandages for torso wounds, tourniquets, basic stitches. You have basic comprehension of first aid, but not too the surgical degree Naoki does. It fits in a small, tightly packed medical bag that doesn’t really hinder you.>You get a full set of white clothes which Hotaru watches you buy. She tries to warn you about how those clothes will get dirty and show a lot of blood, but you insist they’ll look awesome and high class for civilian wear. When you wear them you look like a priest. She winces.>You’re not old enough to buy sake, and you wouldn’t risk trying in her presence just in case she doesn’t approve of that kind of debauchery. She probably assumes you’re going to drink, but you don’t want to say the quiet part out loud. You resolve to pay Naoki to get a good bottle from wherever he gets it from. Presumably his parents are sponsoring that aspect.>You get a high grade expensive pillow to reduce the spartan character of your bedroom. It seems undisciplined to you, but you use your logic to deduce that higher quality rest = higher quality training.>You buy the ingredients to make meatbread. Meatbread kicks ass. Cheese too, because cheese meatbread must be fundamentally superior.>You mention getting some kind of bottle with sealing jutsu so you can have lots of water on you at any moment within a convenient to carry package. Hotaru says she can make something like that herself, and you can consider it a gift. It’ll take awhile.>You get a poncho. It’s striped in deep blues and soft purples. It has a nice hood, and is made out of a fancy waxed fabric that manages to remain quite soft while still keeping moisture off of you.>You bring up getting karaoke setup because you heard those were popular, but Hotaru informs you that bringing karaoke to a bonfire is stupid.>Lastly, Hotaru gets you a set of civilian clothes. Black shoes, socks, and belt, gray slacks and vest, desaturated purple collared shirt. Hotaru insists that you roll up the sleeves whenever you wear it, and that you shouldn’t sit down on anything at the bonfire without dusting it off first. The vest is a little tight around your waist and you think it looks kind of goofy. Clothes were supposed to be loose and comfortable as far as you were concerned.When you return, your time is spent on meatbread preparation. You briefly look around for Masami for meatbread help, a wise team-building exercise, but she’s off somewhere. Naoki shows up though and he’s keenly interested in meatbread as a concept.
