After some googling I found out that people use bread to erase charcoal. Seems like a massive waste of food, but I guess that's why he made the analogy.

Based on the googling I did to make sure I wasn't translating the line as nonsense, yeah. Apparently that's a main thing artists used to use before rubber erasers became commonplace. Even though rubber erasers were invented in the mid 1700s, I imagine Japan was behind just like they were with a lot of things.

You can't erase charcoal with rubber erasers, that's why cloth/bread is used.

I was roommates with an art student, they still use bread some times.

And then we find out both were fakes and the real ones climb from the outside thanks to Takoha remembering something about the mansion.
