Chapter 417: Sandwich

Nao: "There is nothing we can do. He doesn't know the name of the noble. That's why I said that his information may be false at all."

Erina: "...Anyway, the next step is to try to find out his identity. Considering that his wife ran back to her parents' home, it shouldn't be difficult to find the name."

Nao: "Yeah, that's right~ Rumors like this always spread quickly throughout the city! Ask more people, and there will always be someone who knows."

Nao: "By the way, you haven't eaten anything for lunch yet, right? I bought a sandwich! Let's eat together?"

As she said this, she opened the paper package.

Wrapped inside were four six-inch sandwiches.

Erina: "Oh! It's a chicken sandwich! It's great!"

Nao: "Is it rabbit meat?"

Erina: "Ah, yes, that's not bad... No, it feels weird that you gave me rabbit meat products."

Nao: "It definitely didn't come from the bunny-eared girl, so you can eat it with confidence."

Erina: "It's impossible to have such a thing in the first place! How can a rabbit-eared girl be eaten when she's so cute!"

Nao: "But rabbits are cute too."

Erina: "No matter how cute that animal is, it's still an ordinary animal..."

Erina: "...By the way, why don't you transform into a rabbit? It will be much easier to move around the city as a rabbit. You won't be wanted..."

Nao: "I won't change even if I can."

Nao: "If you turned into a rabbit in a place where you like eating rabbit meat so much, you don't need to be specially posted with a reward. It's already a six-star wanted status!"

Nao: "Erina-chan~ How about trying this rabbit sandwich? Their business is very good. I waited in line for a long time to buy it."

Although she wanted to complain about why she dared to queue up to buy something at a busy store even though she was wanted, after hearing what she said, Erina couldn't hold back her desire for a sandwich and immediately picked up a piece and ate it.

Since there was no water at hand and I was reluctant to wash myself with beer, I didn’t bother to wash my hands.

But she somehow took out the clean handkerchief she brought with her and wrapped it up before eating.

She remembered that Yi Xing mentioned to her that the background of the birth of sandwich food had nothing to do with hygiene.

Because it is said that this way of eating was invented by a nobleman in a small British town.

The name of this town is sandwich.

The nobleman was so addicted to playing cards that he even refused to leave the card table to eat.

Therefore, it was difficult for the servants to feed him. I had to give him something that was easy to hold and play with while eating. This requires easy eating with one hand.

Nobles were always dissatisfied with what their servants brought them. But he refused to eat well.

Finally one day, the food brought by the servant was bread filled with slices of meat, cheese and other various dishes. This made the nobles very satisfied, thinking that this was the best choice to eat well without delaying their business (playing cards). .

In order to make it easier to hold and bite with one hand, he cut the bread diagonally into a triangle, and then casually named the food after the town. From then on, whenever I felt hungry, I would call the servant to bring me a sandwich.

After other gamblers followed suit, the sandwich's reputation spread. Now it has become one of the most important foods in Western countries' catering.

Erina felt sick to her stomach when she thought about how dirty that nobleman must be while touching cards and grabbing a sandwich.

After all, the cards have been touched by countless people. Among the things that we often come into contact with in daily life, probably only money is dirtier than it.

When you eat like this, you don’t know what the scale of the bacteria you eat will be.

Erina's mild mysophobia made it impossible for her to accept such a thing.

Even the smell of money was quite smelly to her.

Erina: "...Speaking of which, there are so many things made from rabbit meat here in Hawke City."

Erina: "It feels like rabbit meat is more common than pork and chicken."

Nao: "Yes."

Nao: "Actually, I wanted to buy that tuna sandwich at first, but the price was really scary!"

Nao: "And it's not fresh tuna. It's just canned."

Erina: "Ah... for sure. The insurance technology here is not as good as our hometown."

Erina: "It's not easy to eat sea fish in such an inland city...it's even more impossible to eat fresh fish."

Nao: "Oh! This statement is really accurate."

Nao: "After all, there is a spell that can keep it fresh. As long as you can afford it, it's possible to eat fresh sea fish in the desert!"

Erina: "But it doesn't matter if you have money... This kind of rare food is basically restricted from trade. Only people with a certain status are allowed to eat it."

Erina: "...It seems that there was a time in ancient times when carp was only available to nobles. There is a similar situation in Europe. It seems that all swans in Germany belong to the queen."

Nao: "Well... although I don't know much about history, you should be talking about the Queen of England, right?"

Nao: "It seems that the starry sky sect is also exclusive to nobles."

Erina: "Huh? Is it the UK? Forget it, it's all right."

Erina: "Speaking of Starry Sky Pie... The servant also told me about a classical dark cuisine in England that is as famous as it. It is to seal raw pigeons in the pie. When you cut it, the pigeons will fly out. …”

Nao: "I feel like the inside of the pie will be dirty! It's full of bird poop and stuff!"

Erina: "Haha... I think so too... No, that's not the point. I don't understand why the pigeons won't be roasted!"

Nao: "That must be because of the use of magic."

Nao: "But I think since I'm going to stuff something, wouldn't it be better to stuff it with something cuter? Like a dolphin!"

Erina: "...It's definitely not possible to stay out of the water."

Nao: "Then let the bunny-eared girl go in...?"

Erina: "I told you no one wants to eat that kind of food!"

Nao: "But no one wants to eat raw pigeons, right?"

Erina: "Well..."

Erina: "...I think the purpose of making this dish is to see the shocking effect of the pigeons flying away after cutting the pie. The bunny-eared girl can't fly."

Nao: "But you can dance~ Don't you think it would be a great sideshow?"

Erina: "Isn't it good to just dance normally?! And how big is the pie that can fit a bunny-eared girl... It feels like a waste of space on the dining table."

Erina: "If we have that kind of space, why not put in more lobsters and sushi!"

Nao: "Oops! When it comes to sushi, I really want to eat it..."

Nao: "Hey, Erina-chan, did you know? There really is a sushi restaurant in this city!"
