>You depart from the Underground. Luckily, you also seem to avoid Kisume on the way out.
>You stand in front of an elegant, single-story manor house, surrounded by a wall of treated bamboo. The whole place has a timeless quality to it that you cannot put down to any single thing. Reisen seems to be working on the wall. She notices you and waves, and oh god those eyes! Obvious exits are West and East.
>Kaguya had mentioned something about asking Eirin about Essence of Bamboo Flower. She said if you found a way to keep Eientei cool without having to keep Cirno around, she'd order Eirin to give it to you regardless.

>You look away, and the world is a much less freaky place. "Yeah, they're still inside. Go on in."
>You head inside, and follow the terrible, terrible not-hiphop to the courtyard.
You enter an open courtyard. The sun beats down from above, but it is still refreshingly cool here. A stage has been set in the middle of the courtyard, amidst leafless cherry trees, where Cirno and Lunasa are presently performing. Cirno seems to have expanded her lyrical base to include "Uh!". Regardless, she seems to be enjoying herself, which is more than that can be said for Lunasa, who looks somewhere between mortified and bored stiff while playing a simple and highly repetitive tune. There are bunnies everywhere here, as well as Kaguya, who all seem to be mostly ignoring the show. Murasa sits at a table, enjoying a beverage. You sense a barrier overhead, which probably serves to keep the cool air in. Obvious exits are east and west.

> Remember Rinnosuke's cooling box. Although it would be hard to duplicate the actual cooling effect without permanent magic, the circulation of air should be easy enough, and that would do wonders to cool down a hot room, as long as doors are open for fresh air to enter.
> Draw up plans for a rabbit-powered fan: blades made from cut bamboo, appropriate gearing and connecting rope to allow a pair of rabbits to power its rotation. Rabbits working in shifts should be able to keep this thing going perpetually.
