Please excuse us, Night Raven College friends!

Taking the lead… H-How embarrassing!
*Timmy leaves*

There, the squirrel’s all patched up! Time to get going, you lot!
Epel
Alright, Yuu! Pass over the supplies you’ve got, please!

Epel
Thanks! All four of us will make it to the goal, I’ll make sure of it.
Sebek
We’ll definitely go full speed ahead! You better keep your hopes up!
Idia
…Thx.
Jade
We will do our best to live up to your expectations.
Epel
Everyone, let’s hurry along!
Epel
Phew… We managed to set off somewhat smoothly.
We have to catch up to The Seven Dwarves ☆ as soon as we can.
Everyone, let’s leave our sleds running while we eat.
Sebek
Looks like I got smoked salmon sandwiched between baguette bread.
Epel
Ah, that’s not smoked, actually. It’s cured salmon.1
It’s made by preserving the raw salmon to age for several days after adding salt, sugar, pepper and a herb called dill to it.
I heard that in the past, the cured salmon would be buried in the sand to ferment.
Jade
On my end, I received a butter sauteed mushroom sandwich.
The variety used seems to be chanterelle, correct?
As for the bread itself, it is a coarse rye brød2 with plenty of wholegrain kneaded into the dough.
I see sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, oats, flax, and sesame seeds among them…
Idia
Mine’s a…dry-cured ham and cheese sandwich… Efficient, since I can just eat it with one hand.
Epel
And I got pancakes!
Jade
How unusual it is for them to be square and not round.
Epel
We make pancakes by baking them in an oven instead of using a frying pan around these parts.
3
My family has always baked them over our fireplace, so they always turn out silky smooth and syrupy like flan.
Sebek
This is not the time to be chit-chatting. All of you, finish your food in one bite!
Epel
Right. Time to dig in then!
Epel
…Yawn…
Jade
…yawn.
Idia
…YAAAAAAaaawwn…
Sebek
Oi! Why are you all yawning during such a critical race?! You’re all slacking off!
……………Yawn.
Jade
I believe you let out a yawn as well, didn’t you, Sebek?
Sebek
Urk…
Epel
I mean, getting sleepy here is inevitable. We’re literally racing all night long.
But it’s also the last leg of the race…which means dawn is approaching!
Jade
A fair bit of time did pass after we ate the food obtained from the aidstation.
Sebek
Ahh…I’m hungry again.
Jade
Indeed.
Epel
Please endure it, it’s only a matter of time before we reach the finish line!
Jade
We have yet to spot The Seven Dwarves ☆ who’d departed before us… What shall we do?
Epel
It’s about time we started catching up to them, so let’s speed up.
*WOOOOOSH!!*
Sebek
Epel, do you need to swap and let someone else take over as the leading windbreak?
Epel
I can still do it for now. You can take over after ten minutes or so.
Sebek
Got it.
Ah! That’s…!
RAAAAAARRGH!!!
Epel
Wh-What’s the matter, Sebek?! Why did you accelerate all of a sudden?!
I literally just said that we didn’t have to swap places yet!! What’s going on?!
…Wait a minute, are you charging into my sled?!
Sebek
MOVE!!!
*SLAM!!!*
*Epel flies off-screen*
Epel
Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!
Sebek
Guh…!!!
Idia
Fwa?! S-Sir Sebek just slammed his sled into Sir Epel’s and sent him flying?!
Epel
What in the world are you doing, Sebek?!
*Rumbling*
*Smooosssshhh!!!*
Epel
Wha-! A tree fell right onto the spot I was at just now!
I see now, so Sebek rammed his sled into mine in order to save me…!
Jade
It is not unusual for trees in the mountains to collapse from the sheer weight of the piled up snow during winter, after all.
Idia
That’s a violent way of helping…
Epel
Thank you, Sebek…
Epel
Wait, Sebek’s not-?! Where did he go?!
Notes
- This sounds like gravlax. The history even checks out. (Return to text)
- The bread is described as a
ブロード, so it’s most probably referring to the Danish/Nordic brød. (Return to text)
- I’m not familiar with Scandinavian or Nordic cuisine, but this seems to be common there. I’m not sure if there’s an English name for it, but I see recipes that call these “Scandinavian/Nordic Oven Pancakes” or the like. A brief search of
pannukakku(Finnish) andugnspannkaka(Swedish) brings up similar oven-baked square pancakes. A quick note though, that there’s also oven-baked pancakes elsewhere, but square ones seem to be exclusively Nordic. (Return to text)
