Saijaku Tamer wa Gomi Hiroi no Tabi o Hajimemashita - Ch. 23.1

[MaiaAmos]

thank you so very much for this chapter, I do enjoy this a lot more than I expected -- I do hope that you don't have a difficult time scanlating them through, its been very fun and enjoyable. I do look forwards to see more translated soon.

One corrupt noble murdering an honest noble isn't that far of a reach. Especially since it is the lower noble backstabbing his superior.

If you spend any time reading history, murdering each other in cold blood is about the most wholesome thing any given nobility gets up to. If anything, it's several steps BACK from child slavery.

Thanks for the chapter!😁

I love this manga's story telling more than the anime. It really felt rushed that time

The anime rushed so much and changed much more, really sucks to see

I keep forgetting she's meant to be an isekai character

I know. The last couple of chapters I've been wondering who the previous person was, Hercule Poirot? =)

 

[Yuu3]

It's been a while since I read the starting few chapters... Was there anything special about the pre-isekai memories? I feel like Ivy's isekai knowledge is really skewed towards criminal investigation

Good timing. I just made a sandwich. Although an open one.

I just had a sandwich, they are the best! Hurray for bread!

So it seems they struck while the enemy is in the middle of setting up an operation against them. The cave full of criminals was being readied for killing work. The count Faltoria was also feeding the feudal lord Foronda false information in order to throw off his efforts against the organization.

This means their own operation to destroy the organization couldn't have come at a better time: any later and the organization might have struck first with its den of killers awaiting the opportunity to attack, and the count orchestrating the assassination of the feudal lord.

Why would they branch out to political assassination from child trafficking? It's because they likely want to secure the future of the organization by taking political power. If the have a feudal lord backing them, they'll become near impossible to take down, and then their evil business can continue unopposed.

This is yet another work where the most basic of concepts are "introduced" by the protagonist. Fortunately, although this series has many, many [pathetic] examples (herbal tisanes, herbs as seasoning, eating on bread, etc.), it doesn't focus on it. (The web novel even has rice be fodder so Ivy can "introduce" human consumption of rice — ouch.) They're just there to remind you that the protagonist has been isekai'ed — it would have worked better if the author left out the reincarnation mishegas and just had Ivy be precocious.

So what's pseudo about them?

Moreover, historically eating on bread (instead of a plate) was so common that many major languages didn't have a word for it beyond "on/in bread" (and similar terms) until the mid-18th century when the 4th Earl of Sandwich popularized it for gaming / gambling marathons.

I don't think a "pseudo sandwich" is even possible given the simplicity and wide range of "sandwiches." I mean, "semi" might work for wraps and hotdog buns, but "pseudo" means "ersatz" — an imitation used as a substitute.

Well, we've had a word for an open sandwich since at least the 16th century in Sweden. The practice of eating bread that way is a century older or more.

If it's two bread pieces with filling in between it's a sandwich. And yeah, some people make a difference for wraps, where one piece of bread goes around the filling, while others just say it's a variant sandwich. It's a divisive topic.

It's way older than that, try prehistoric. Any super basic dish with non-specific/imprecise ingredients almost certainly is (archæology has a few problems with food since the stuff usually doesn't survive/get preserved, and the written record doesn't pay all that much attention to it for the most part until the late 20th century).

The practice of eating a meal on bread, as well as stuffed bread, is apparently common to all cultures which have advanced beyond the hunter-gather stage and eat bread. It's efficient in a lot of ways: nothing to clean up afterward, less to carry, and easy to make. Very practical.

You'll find descriptions in ancient and medieval texts, including the Torah/Pentateuch — which was passed down orally for God-knows-how-long before being written down — Hillel the Elder in the Haggadah, and the Prologue to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. There's also the artistic record, including a certain Pompeiian fresco of a "pizza" (or rather, a pizza in the broad sense and pizza ancestor in the specific sense, since tomatoes were only added to Italian cooking in the late 17th–early 18th-century, although the depicted dish did include a ball of stretched-curd cheese, i.e. the mozzarella group) Also, if you look up specific sandwiches, let alone other bread dishes, you'll likewise get a variety of dates as well as examples which are simply "traditional" — for those, no date is humanly discernible.

Terms like stuffed loaf/bread/bun, trencher, canapé, tartine, panini, gyro, and so on are all examples of terms used to refer to the practice (although they seem to have largely refered to more specific types). There's also an Old English term: ġesyfled hlāf — rendered in Modern English, "sullied loaf" (probably the same reasoning as "dirty rice"). That said, terminology seems to have been less than stable, so there's a lot of them.
