His voice sounded less damp than Jin had expected.
"Yes. Last year, I think it was, I went to the old capital with my friends, and we heard that there was a magical brain called Messenger in the basement there, and that the residents had moved to the moon to avoid an epidemic.
"So that's what happened."

"I think it's called white cayenne," she said.

We decided to have the meal brought to the parlor on the second floor of Nido Castle.
This is a Western-style room, so we could eat sitting on chairs.
The menu consisted of rice gruel and pickled plums. And tsukudani (food boiled in soy sauce) with dried laver and kelp (I've decided to say no more).

After a leisurely meal, we decided to visit the village.
Since it would be difficult to walk all the way, we took a special rickshaw that Jin had prepared the day before. The rickshaw has a top to protect it from the sun.
The rickshaw is pulled by Butler C.

The suspension, dampers, and rubber tires absorb vibrations, so the ride is comfortable.

Butler C pulls the rickshaw slowly and unhurriedly.
