THE MULTITUDES OF THE WORLD,
ACCORDING TO REBECCA SHARLAHART
Thank you very much, BOOK☆WALKER customers, for purchasing Volume
Three of
The Combat Baker and Automaton Waitress.
My name is Rebecca Sharlahart.
BOOK☆WALKER has given us a special opportunity to provide this exclusive
additional chapter, simultaneously in English and Japanese.
And this totally happened because of my underappreciated efforts!
Huh? Did you just ask if I’ve appeared anywhere before?
You bet I have! In both Volume One and Volume Two! But only briefly …
And I didn’t even get an illustration!
This exclusive chapter is actually being released with the English edition of the
novels, so its content is based on events in the series up through Volume Two.
That’s right …
I start appearing regularly from Volume Three.
So I thought I would try to earn the honor by popping up here!!
But, putting that aside for a moment …
The main story in
Combat Baker
is all about a bakery, so it introduces many
different kinds of bread.
For example,
anpan,
which has a paste of sweet boiled beans inside, was
baked in the beginning of Volume One, and pineapple bread was created
midway through that novel.
And, um … this is a good time to tell you that
anpan
actually exists, but
pineapple bread doesn’t.
However, in Japan, there is a type of bread called melon bread.
Sven Avei gave Lud’s pineapple bread its name because the crosshatch
pattern on melon bread resembles the fruit, and it was assumed Japanese
readers would understand without any explanation.
We didn’t expect the novel to be translated into another language, and this
turned out to be difficult for foreign readers to understand.
Rice is the primary staple food in Japan, but people love bread, too.
In the morning, long lines of customers form in front of popular bakeries.
Melon bread is one of the favorite breads, and you can even buy it from
mobile bread stands.
In Western countries, people commonly eat bread with something on top, or
sandwiching something inside.
In Japan, rice balls are stuffed with different ingredients.
Maybe that’s why the most popular way of eating bread is by enclosing
ingredients inside.
The
anpan
in the first story is one such bread.
Other breads include jam bread that has jam inside, and cream bread with
custard cream inside.
There’s also curry bread with curry roux inside.
Originally, melon bread didn’t have any cantaloupe in it, but in recent years,
people have included real melon juice. It’s pretty confusing, huh?
There’s also a bread called
uguisu
bread.
Uguisu
refers to a bird known as the
Japanese bush warbler. But don’t worry, there’s no bird meat inside!
We call these breads sweet buns or delicatessen breads.
If you ever have the chance to visit Japan, I hope you’ll enjoy this aspect of
the country.
