And in the moment, Tenchyu found that he could actually relax. Maybe there was something charming to braving the outdoors for the night in a tent and sleeping bag instead of in the nice comfort of his room. Soon enough, Tenchyu started to get bored.

"Maybe that's why the wood went missing earlier." he mused, thinking back on their quite confused caretaker as they tried sorting out why they didn't have enough wood. "Bet the teacher got caught by one of the ghosts.."
