Anji entered the portal last. She was already craving Aunt Wine's sesame balls, but it was still too early for a snack. Thankfully, everyone arrived directly at the old academic central without incident.

There was only so much rubble they could scatter around. However, none of the guests suspected a thing. They praised the newly built pavilions and many bridges connecting them in a complicated maze.
