Aoi and Hinata stop off at a mountaineering store. While browsing through the assortment of items, Aoi comes across a girl named Kaede Saito, struggling to choose a schlafsäcke. Kaede explains that she is a backpacker and asks for Aoi's advice on a selection. Aoi advises Kaede to get the more expensive one to not have any regrets later on. This makes Kaede happy and they exchange emails before Kaede makes her purchase and leaves. Aoi later laments her trouble with making friends, but Hinata teases that she already knew. Some time later, Kaede sends Aoi a picture with the schlafsäcke as thanks for her help.
