After having lunch at Professor Drake's house, the maid rented a carriage from the city's four-wheeled carriage rental company, and then Shard set out with the professor, who had packed up.
Although their destination was very strange, the driver didn't ask any questions. After taking them to Loch Ness in the eastern part of Huntington City, he stopped by the roadside and watched Shard push the professor's wheelchair away.
The country dirt road was completely unsuitable for wheelchair wheels to turn, but luckily they didn't go far. Once the driver could no longer be seen, Shard pushed the professor down the lakeside embankment, gazing at the vast lake at Loch Ness.
This was a lake chosen randomly by Shard on the map in the west of the city. Loch Ness in winter was very calm; the lake surface was not completely frozen yet but had a thin layer of ice. The cold wind swept through, and Shard did not react much, while Professor Drake, wrapped tightly, shivered.
