Chapter 158: Lapse of Memory
"What's with this heat..."
No, I know the reason
Because the closer you get to the center of the city, the more you'll be surrounded by chimneys that emit smoke.
But it's not just the heat that pushes in.
"There's a sweet smell from over there... and a pungent smell from over there... and this one smells oily, so that's out of the question."
Cornales is busy running around.
"Etwald, is Shisu still not back yet?"
"Not yet. No, we haven't waited that long, you know?"
Damn, that's frustrating.
Shisu left to find out the location of the mansion.
"My stomach is rumbling!"
It's because of this delicious smell
"Well, well, just eat this and calm down Giran."
"What are you eating!"
"A sweet called cotton candy"
"That's not fair! ...Give me mine too."
"Here you go. I got one for Etwald, too."
"I'll have some."
"""…Sweet."""
Hmm.
A commoner's confection, but not to be underestimated.
But it's hard to eat.
"Why are you cutting it into little pieces with your hands?"
"It's too big to fit in my mouth."
“Why don't you just bite into it?”
"I won't do that kind of barbaric thing."
As soon as Cornales finishes eating the cotton candy, she runs to the next stall.
"Ah! Uncle! What is this!"
She casually talks to the owner of the stall.
"It's called shaved ice. It's ice that's been quickly shaved into small pieces and served with a sweet sauce."
"Ice? Is it just ice?"
"It's not just water. I can't tell you the details."
"Give me three!"
"What about the sauce?"
"I'll leave it to you!"
"Thank you for buying!"
----------
And now three people are holding their heads
"Oooohhh..."
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"
"I'm almost at a loss for words, this is..."
When the pain finally subsides and I lift my head up, there's a guy standing right in front of me.
"Yo, you guys are having fun."
"Huh? The gatekeeper from earlier?"
"I was on my way back home from my shift when I saw you guys. Where's the other one?"
"He has something to do so he left."
"I see. So you guys ate all the shaved ice at once and got a headache?"
"Correct!"
"Anyone who doesn't know will do it. Even those who know do it often, but in the wrong way."
“Gatekeeper-san! Do you have any recommendations for food?”
“If you want meat, I know some."
"Then, it's decided!"
---------
"It's hot! It's hot!"
"The juices spread in my mouth. What a way to come back to life."
"Hifuu, thish ish hie afuu, gofuu!"
Cornales talked while eating
"Uwa, that's dirty! Swallow it properly before you talk!"
"Cough*! Cough*! ...Ah~! Gulp*, it's sweet, spicy, hot, delicious, and wonderful. What kind of meat is it?"
"That? It's a big horn bull's thigh."
"""Eh?"""
"No, like I said, it's big horn bull meat."
I thought it was animal meat.
“A monster meat.”
"It's kind of frustrating that it tastes so good."
"If it tastes so good and they sell it, then it must be okay to eat, right?"
Then a further question arises.
“Then what about the black sauce on the meat?”
"That's from an animal. Don't worry."
I don't feel safe when it is made from the meat of a monster.
“The maker of the sauce didn't disclose the details, but he said it was made from river fish.”
“Fumu, I'd like to import this sauce to the Royal Capital.”
"The capital?"
"No, it's nothing. I wish it was more widely distributed."
"It's not easy to increase production. He had a customer here 30 years ago that he got to know so well that he still wholesales to this city."
“It's been in business for 30 years?"
"Yeah, I'm not bragging, but Shiro-sama, the hero when he was active in this city, is that customer."
It was Edgeworth.
"Hmm?"
"What's wrong Giran?"
"Cornales, Etwald. Aren't you forgetting something?"
Forgetting something?
"Isn't it something we don't care about if we forget it?"
"Well, I often remember things that I don't care about when I try hard to remember them."
"I see... maybe so?"
"Gatekeeper-san! Tell me more recommended stalls!"
"Leave it to me! I'll feed you until the sun goes down!"
