This is...!
A cold wind swept through the crude one-room house, making the bonfire flicker and carrying the chill from outside into the warm room.
At that moment, Chiba stared fixedly at the door that had suddenly opened, his eyes widening slightly, clear astonishment written across his face.
He was not the only one. Ming Tai, Chun, and the other children in the room wore almost the same stunned expressions as Chiba. The only difference was that as the children's eyes widened, glimmers of delight gradually burst forth from them.
"Thud..."
Even Zong Mi, who had been practicing Shuriken fanatically and ignoring everything around him, stopped. He stared at the doorway in shock, frozen in the pose of throwing a Shuriken.

"Rabbits!"
