[00:01] Announcer
    Well, it's second and last day of
    the Patissier World Tournament,
[00:06] Announcer
    and we've come to the grand finale!
[00:11] Reporter 1
    Incredible.
[00:12] Reporter 1
    It's no wonder they call him
    the Patissier Chosen One.
[00:16] Reporter 1
    It's magnificent!
[00:18] Reporter 2
    The final round is "candy sculpture."
[00:21] Reporter 2
    He'll be named the world's
    greatest patissier for sure!
[00:35] Patissier
    It's like a land of sweets.
[00:40] Patissier
    I'm going to win this and achieve the
    dream I've had since I was a child!
[00:48] Announcer
    They're moving their finished
    pieces to the judging area now.
[00:53] Patissier
    Let's go.
[00:55] Patissier
    One, two, three!
[01:15] Patissier
    Wait, am I...
[01:17] Patissier
    Ah, am I dying?
[01:21] Patissier
    I wanted to create the world's
    greatest sweets before I died...
[01:26] Patissier
    I wanted to use them to
    create a land of sweets,
[01:29] Patissier
    and bring smiles to the faces
    of everyone in the world.
[01:33] Patissier
    Now, I never will.
[01:34] Patissier
    God... you are far too cruel.
[01:37] God
    Then allow me to grant you one more chance!
[01:42] Patissier
    Huh? Who's there?
[01:46] God
    Your new name shall be...
[01:49] God
    Pastry Mille Morteln!
SIGN    Sweet Reincarnation
[03:34] Pas
    The Fief of Morteln.
SIGN    Dreaming of a Land of Sweets
[03:36] Pas
    I heard that when my father, Casserole Mille
    Morteln, first became its suzerain lord,
[03:41] Pas
    it was a barren land that
    could barely grow wheat.
[03:47] Pas
    My father worked hard beside
    those who moved there with him,
[03:50] Pas
    and those already living there.
[03:53] Pas
    Together, they spent almost twenty
    years cultivating the soil.
[03:59] Pas
    That hard work paid off,
[04:00] Pas
    and we've managed to grow to a fief of
    three villages of about forty people each,
[04:05] Pas
    capable of growing both wheat and barley.
[04:08] Casserole
    C'mon! You'll need to do better than that!
[04:10] Pas
    I haven't gotten started!
SIGN    Pastry Mille Morteln
[04:20] Casserole
    You're getting sloppy with your grip again.
[04:22] Pas
    Yes, sir...
[04:27] Pas
    It's been nine years since I was reincarnated
    as the son of the fief's suzerain lord,
SIGN    Father Casserole
[04:30] Pas
    Lord Casserole.
[04:33] Casserole
    Yes! Hold it so tight, I could tear
    off your hands before you'd let go!
[04:38] Pas
    Yes, sir!
[04:41] Pas
    I was raised by my father—
    a military hero—my kind mother,
[04:45] Pas
    and my five older sisters.
[04:47] Pas
    It's basically been a happy life, but...
[04:50] Pas
    But...
[04:52] Pas
    Our fief can't grow sugar, and it's
    hard to get sweet things here.
[04:58] Pas
    Gosh, I sure do wanna make sweets!
[05:01] Casserole
    Don't get distracted!
SIGN    Head Retainer Feuille
[05:07] Feuille
    There you are! Hey, Boss!
[05:09] Feuille
    Hard at work, I see.
[05:12] Feuille
    It'll be time for breakfast soon, you know.
[05:15] Casserole
    Right. We'll end here for now.
[05:17] Pas
    Yes, sir.
[05:19] Pas
    Thank you... very much.
[05:21] Casserole
    How can I help you, Feuille?
[05:24] Feuille
    I've got good news and bad news for you.
[05:26] Feuille
    Which do you want first?
[05:28] Casserole
    Since I'll have to hear both either way,
[05:30] Casserole
    let's start with the good.
[05:32] Feuille
    Well, then...
[05:34] Feuille
    It's looking like the bean fields will
    yield a significant harvest this year.
[05:38] Feuille
    It all worked out like the kid said.
[05:41] Pas
    Sprinkling lime on the soil
    improves the crop yield!
[05:44] Casserole
    Looks like I was right to take your advice.
[05:48] Pas
    We'll have a bumper bean crop this year...
SIGN    talk talk
SIGN    talk talk
[05:51] Pas
    We'll be limited to simple
    bean dishes for now,
[05:53] Pas
    but caramelized roasted soybeans
    are a classic tea snack,
[05:56] Pas
    and you can sprinkle soybean flour
    on them for extra flavor.
[05:59] Casserole
    How do you know all that?
[06:02] Pas
    Oh! Just more daydreams.
[06:02] Pas
    I can't exactly tell them it's
    because I was reincarnated.
[06:06] Casserole
    Well, it certainly wouldn't
    be your first flight of fancy.
[06:11] Feuille
    But the ideas you pull from
    that imagination of yours
[06:14] Feuille
    have made good policy for the
    fief these past few years.
[06:18] Feuille
    Like a little shadow suzerain!
[06:21] Casserole
    So, what's the bad news?
[06:26] Feuille
    It seems that attempts to stamp out bandits
    in the County of Retes have failed.
[06:32] Casserole
    Bandits?!
[06:33] Feuille
    I'm told the stragglers have
    escaped and are heading our way.
[06:36] Casserole
    How many?
[06:36] Feuille
    About fifty.
[06:39] Pas
    If bandits come here,
    they'll ravage our fields.
[06:42] Pas
    Both the beans we worked so hard for,
    and the precious wheat...
[06:47] Feuille
    They'll likely arrive in two months' time.
[06:50] Casserole
    Two months, eh?
[06:52] Feuille
    Our only chance is to round up the villagers
[06:54] Feuille
    and drive the bandits off with pikes and slings.
[06:58] Pas
    Even if we pull from all three villages,
[07:00] Pas
    we'll get thirty men at most.
[07:02] Pas
    We'll barely be able to
    slow the bandits down.
[07:05] Pas
    And in a prolonged battle,
    we're doomed for sure.
[07:08] Casserole
    This village has the canal.
[07:10] Casserole
    What if we hole up here to buy time,
[07:12] Casserole
    while I ask Count Retes for reinforcements?
[07:16] Feuille
    Knowing you, you could do it.
[07:18] Feuille
    The only issue is...
[07:20] Casserole
    Count Retes's reputation.
[07:23] Feuille
    If we were to defeat bandits that the
    County failed to stamp out completely,
[07:27] Feuille
    it would subject the Count to
    accusations of incompetence.
[07:31] Casserole
    We won't be getting reinforcements
    from there, then.
[07:35] Feuille
    The ideal outcome for the Count
[07:37] Feuille
    would be for us to fail so that the
    Margravate of Hubarek has to clean up for us...
[07:39] Pas
    Father has three resident retainers,
    including Feuille.
[07:45] Pas
    It won't be an easy fight.
[07:48] Pas
    But the beans... and most
    of all, the wheat...
[07:51] Pas
    I need them all for making sweets!
[07:53] Pas
    Anyone who'd try to take that from me...
[07:59] Feuille
    Looking good, kid!
[08:01] Feuille
    He's starting to feel his calling
    as this fief's next suzerain lord.
[08:06] Pas
    Anyone who gets in the way of my dream...
    My plan to create a land of sweets...
[08:12] Pas
    I'll make them regret it!
[08:15] Feuille
    One way or another, we're gonna
    have to make a big gamble.
[08:20] Feuille
    This is just my instinct talking,
[08:22] Feuille
    but how's about we wager on
    the kid as our trump card?
[08:26] Casserole
    Pas, a trump card?
[08:27] Feuille
    If the gamble pays off, he might
    be as useful as you are, Boss.
[08:31] Casserole
    I'd never dare question your instinct,
[08:34] Casserole
    but you're effectively hoping for magi—
[08:38] Casserole
    The Sanctification Ceremony!
[08:39] Feuille
    Exactly!
[08:43] Feuille
    Agnes, Josephine. Listen to me.
[08:47] Feuille
    I'm going to put Pas through
    the Sanctification Ceremony.
[08:50] Agnes
    Dear?!
[08:51] Agnes
    Surely it's much too soon for Pas.
SIGN    Mother Agnes
[08:54] Casserole
    You know as well as I do
    how bright the boy is.
[08:57] Casserole
    He's at the top of his age
    group with a sword, as well.
[09:01] Agnes
    But...
[09:02] Casserole
    I deem him accomplished with
    both the pen and the sword.
[09:06] Pas
    The Sanctification Ceremony is
    this world's coming-of-age ritual.
SIGN    Big Sister Josephine
[09:10] Pas
    I'm only nine, so it is a
    bit early for me, but...

[09:14] Pas
    It's just what I want!
[09:16] Pas
    Still... it's a real shock for Mother.
[09:18] Agnes
    If you deem him worthy, I cannot argue.
[09:19] Pas
    The ritual is usually for those between
    thirteen and fifteen years old.
[09:23] Agnes
    I'd hoped for more time
    with him as a child, but...
[09:28] Casserole
    We set out in three days' time.
[09:30] Casserole
    Make the preparations.
[09:31] Agnes
    All right.
[09:33] Agnes
    Josie! Help me out with that, would you?
[09:35] Josephine
    Why, certainly, Mother!
[09:37] Agnes
    He's got to represent the
    family perfectly, after all...
[09:42] Josephine
    That's right. He's got to be perfect!
SIGN    Heh heh heh...
SIGN    Heh heh heh...
[09:46] Pas
    Not good... Nothing goes well
    when they smile like that!
[09:49] Pas
    F-Father!
[09:50] Casserole
    I'm eating.
[09:52] Pas
    Father!
[09:54] Agnes/Josephine
    So cute!
[09:57] Pas
    W-Wait a minute!
[09:59] Pas
    Don't you see how wrong this is?!
[10:01] Agnes
    It looks lovely on you, Pas!
[10:04] Josephine
    These shoes might be perfect!
[10:06] Agnes
    Josie, aren't those your precious shoes—
[10:09] Josephine
    No big deal!
[10:10] Josephine
    Only the best for my sweet little brother!
[10:12] Pas
    Are you two listening to me at all?!
[10:12] Agnes
    Now let's do his makeup!
[10:15] Josephine
    Skin like yours takes to makeup so well!
[10:17] Pas
    I guess they're not...
[10:20] Pas
    Ever since I was little, my mother and
    sister have treated me like a dress-up doll.
[10:26] Pas
    Back when my other older sisters were around,
SIGN    Eldest Sister
SIGN    Second Sister
SIGN    Third Sister
[10:29] Pas
    it was even worse!
SIGN    Fourth Sister
SIGN    Fifth Sister
SIGN    Eldest Brother
[10:32] Josephine
    It looks best on him out of everyone here!
[10:34] Pas
    Father!
[10:36] Pas
    I want to be an adult ASAP!
[10:43] Casserole
    What's the matter, son of mine?
[10:45] Casserole
    How are you so exhausted on
    the day of our departure?
[10:48] Pas
    It's been a busy three days.
[10:53] Agnes
    Pas...
[10:56] Agnes
    Take care.
[10:57] Josephine
    Give it your best!
[10:59] Pas
    I will!
[10:59] Marc
    Hey, Pas!
[11:01] Pas
    Marc! Lumi! Guys!
[11:04] Marc
    You lucky duck! The capital, huh?
SIGN    Luminito
SIGN    Marcarullo
[11:06] Marc
    I wish I could go too, dressed
    up in a fancy suit like yours!
[11:09] Lumi
    Nah, you'd look awful in one.
[11:12] Marc
    What the hell'd you just say?!
[11:14] Lumi
    Take care on your trip, Pas!
[11:16] Pas
    Sure.
[11:17] Pas
    I'll eat lots of delicious
    things while I'm gone!
[11:20] Marc
    He's all about food. Typical!
[11:22] Lumi
    Well, that's our Pas!
[11:24] Casserole
    Look after things here.
[11:26] Feuille
    Sure.
[12:07] Marc
    Awesome!
[12:09] Lumi
    Lord Casserole's magic really is incredible.
[12:13] Agnes
    Josie...
[12:14] Josephine
    Yes, Mother.
[12:16] Agnes/Josephine
    Pas still looks best in women's clothing!
SIGN    Capital City Bovaldia
[12:23] Pas
    That's the capital for you!
[12:25] Pas
    This is the most people I've ever seen
    in one place since my reincarnation!
[12:30] Pas
    Father! There's so many things
    here I've never seen before!
[12:34] Pas
    Is that brown sugar?!
[12:36] Pas
    And fruit?!
[12:38] Pas
    The Fief of Morteln has so few sweet things.
    I never see any of this stuff there!
[12:43] Pas
    With all that at my disposal...
[12:45] Pas
    Brown sugar cookies, pound cake,
    chocolate gâteau, flan!
[12:50] Pas
    I'm raring to go! My blood is racing!
[12:53] Casserole
    Okay.
[12:54] Casserole
    If you can make it through
    the Sanctifiction Ceremony
[12:56] Casserole
    I'll buy you whatever you like.
[12:59] Pas
    You mean it?!
[13:00] Pas
    Yes!
[13:01] Pas
    Oh, but I can't choose!
[13:03] Pas
    What should I ask for?
[13:06] Pas
    Are those...
[13:08] Pas
    apples?!
[13:09] Pas
    And they look so delicious!
[13:11] Pas
    I'm so glad they exist in this world, too!
[13:13] Casserole
    Those are bonkas, I believe.
[13:15] Pas
    Bonkas?
[13:16] Casserole
    They're grown up north,
[13:19] Casserole
    so it's rare to see them in the market here.
[13:21] Casserole
    They're on the sour side, though I haven't
     had much of them myself.
[13:26] Pas
    Sour, huh?
[13:28] Pas
    There's all kinds of ways to use sour apples!
[13:31] Pas
    Father! I'd like to try growing bonkas!
[13:35] Casserole
    Growing them?
[13:36] Pas
    Let's bring some back with us!
[13:38] Casserole
    Really?
[13:40] Casserole
    Seeing him interested in
    the goods of other lands...
[13:43] Casserole
    He's developing the instincts
    of a true suzerain!
[13:46] Pas
    If I got five of them, I could
    try all kinds of things...
[13:55] Pas
    I'd love to try them glacé, but...
[13:58] Pas
    Sugar itself is such a luxury!
    I'm sure it's too much to ask.
[14:03] Pas
    What if we raised bees in our fief,
[14:05] Pas
    and I candied them in honey instead?
[14:08] Pas
    Tarts!
[14:09] Pas
    Baked apples!
[14:11] Pas
    And the old classic, apple pie!
[14:14] Casserole
    With talent like his, if he
    were to inherit the fief...
[14:18] Pas
    If I can cultivate apples,
    and then inherit the fief...
[14:23] Casserole
    A rich land with a strong army!
[14:25] Pas
    A land full of all the sweets you can eat!
[14:29] Casserole
    We're here.
[14:33] Priest
    Well, well, if it isn't the Lord of Morteln.
[14:36] Priest
    Thank you for coming all this way.
[14:37] Pas
    A panda?!
[14:38] Casserole
    Father. It's an honor to see you again.
[14:41] Priest
    We last met at your daughter's
    Sanctification Ceremony, I believe.
[14:45] Casserole
    You did me a great service that day.
[14:47] Father
    I've heard many tales of you, milord.
[14:50] Father
    For instance, that you protected your
    people through the last year's frost.
[14:55] Casserole
    Thanks only to the protection
    of God and the Spirits...
[14:59] Casserole
    And my son's wisdom, as well.
[15:02] Priest
    And you've brought your son today, have you?
[15:04] Casserole
    I'd like him to undergo his
    Sanctification Ceremony today.
[15:09] Priest
    What?!
[15:11] Priest
    Do you mean this, milord?
[15:13] Casserole
    I certainly do.
[15:14] Casserole
    And I'd like it to be a True Sanctification.
[15:22] Josephine
    Hey, Feuille.
[15:23] Josephine
    "True Sanctification" is the ceremony
    where you get magic, right?
[15:27] Feuille
    Oh, yeah.
[15:28] Feuille
    The one the kid's going to undergo?
[15:31] Josephine
    When I went for my Ceremony,
[15:34] Josephine
    they said I didn't have much magic power,
[15:36] Josephine
    so I didn't get to go through that one.
[15:39] Josephine
    I hope Pas will be okay.
[15:42] Feuille
    I think he'll be fine, little lady.
[15:44] Josephine
    What do they do for it?
[15:46] Feuille
    Well, it's like...
[15:49] Feuille
    They measure how much magic
    power you've got, and then...
[16:02] Priest
    Now, imbibe this.
[16:08] Pas
    I-It's bitter!
[16:10] Pas
    Wh-What the hell is this stuff?!
[16:12] Josephine
    What then?
[16:13] Feuille
    You don't do anything.
[16:15] Josephine
    You don't do anything?!
[16:19] Feuille
    You're left alone in the dark,
[16:22] Feuille
    unable to see or hear anything
[16:25] Feuille
    for hours and hours...
[16:28] Feuille
    Magic is a grand power
    hidden inside a person.
[16:33] Feuille
    This is the only way to draw it out—
[16:36] Feuille
    To face hardship and endure, all by yourself.
[16:51] Casserole
    It's been a day and a half now.
[16:54] Casserole
    Surely it's taking too long...
[16:56] Priest
    We cannot release your son until
    the radiance subsides, I fear.
[17:02] Priest
    That said, it is impressive that
    the moment has not yet come.
[17:05] Priest
    How much power does that
    boy have hidden within him?
[17:11] Casserole
    Do you think he'll be all right?
[17:14] Priest
    Certainly, so much time in darkness
    and silence would be trying for most.
[17:20] Casserole
    Pas...
[17:22] Pas
    What will I...
[17:24] Pas
    What will I make with those bonkas?!
[17:26] Pas
    Just imagine! Someday,
    I'll find a way to get sugar.
[17:29] Pas
    And then...
[17:30] Pas
    It's hard to feel stressed when
    I'm thinking about sweets!
[17:34] Pas
    I'm overflowing with glee!
[17:38] Pas
    I want to fill this world with sweets,
[17:41] Pas
    and bring smiles to everyone's faces!
[17:43] Pas
    I want to make the world's best sweets!
[17:47] Pas
    That must have been the reason
    I was born into this world!
[17:53] Pas
    To create this world's...
[17:56] Pas
    This world's very own land of sweets!
[18:03] Pas
    What's that?
[18:05] Pas
    H-Hey!
[18:19] Pas
    Is this... magic?
[18:22] Casserole
    Pas!
[18:26] Casserole
    Pas!
[18:28] Pas
    Father?
[18:29] Casserole
    You endured it admirably.
[18:31] Casserole
    Two whole days!
[18:32] Pas
    Two days?
[18:34] Pas
    It's been that long?
[18:35] Pas
    I had so many dreams...
    but I can't remember now.
[18:42] Priest
    Now, we'll bring this to a close.
[18:45] Priest
    If you've truly found your power within,
[18:47] Priest
    then the scripture I'm about to
    read should have meaning to you.
[18:52] Priest
    With this blessing of scripture, the
    Sanctification Ceremony will come to an end.
[18:58] Pas
    Yes, sir.
[18:58] Priest
    Vast though this world might be,
    and rich with myriad forms of life,
[19:03] Priest
    it all receiveth equally
    those blessings divine.
[19:07] Priest
    So, too, do its people receive the
    immeasurable bounties of our most holy God.
[19:14] Priest
    Thou, who art Pastry Mille Morteln,
[19:19] Priest
    with gratitude in thy heart
    for God's beneficent favor,
[19:22] Priest
    receivest thou now God's blessings...
[19:29] Pas
    What... What I can do...
[19:35] Pas
    R-Reincarnation?
[19:38] Pas
    Replication?

    This must be...
[19:44] Pas
    The scripture itself is...
[19:48] Pas
    the magic?
[20:09] Casserole
    Pas!
[20:11] Casserole
    Looks like you made it through.
[20:15] Priest
    It appears you've acquired power nearly
    unheard of in this day and age!
[20:21] Casserole
    I can't thank you enough for your aid.
[20:23] Casserole
    A humble token of my gratitude.
[20:26] Priest
    Many thanks to you, milord!
[20:29] Priest
    The Church appreciates your
    most generous donation.
[20:33] Priest
    May your son's future
    rest safe in God's hands.
[20:44] Casserole
    Pas, are you done yet?
[20:46] Pas
    This one's heavier...
[20:48] Pas
    but this one's more lustrous...
[20:50] Pas
    But these are tempting, too!
[20:53] Casserole
    You need to choose already.
[20:56] Pas
    Yes, sir.
[20:59] Shopkeep
    I'll throw in a few extra.
    For your enthusiasm!
[21:02] Shopkeep
    Here!
[21:04] Pas
    You sure?!
[21:07] Pas
    The best-looking ones yet!
[21:09] Priest
    All silver coins, eh?
[21:11] Priest
    Such ignorance.
[21:13] Priest
    As expected of a backwater noble who
    won his title on the battlefield.
[21:16] Priest
    This won't be enough to keep my mouth shut.
[21:21] Priest
    No hard feelings, milord.
[21:29] Pas
    That refreshing tartness!
[21:31] Pas
    It really is an apple!
[21:32] Pas
    How many years has it been?!
[21:35] Pas
    Father?
[21:37] Pas
    Let's not tell Mother or Sister
    that we ate the best ones.
[21:45] Casserole
    Good idea.
[21:51] Pas
    I'm gonna make an apple pie!
[21:53] Pas
    And then tarts and candy apples...
[21:56] Pas
    And then, one day...
[21:58] Pas
    I'm going to make it!

    This world's very own land of sweets!

[00:14] Helm
    Is this all they've got
    that's worth anything?
[00:16] Bandit 1
    Yeah, pretty slim pickings.
[00:18] Bandit 2
    They don't got enough food for us all.
[00:22] Helm
    Guess we'll see what
    Morteln's got to plunder.
[00:34] Casserole
    Make sure you get those
    stakes in nice and deep!
[00:36] Villagers
    Sir!
[00:37] Feuille
    Boss.
[00:39] Casserole
    Looks like bad news.
[00:41] Feuille
    A village in the knight's fief of Liptaver
    was attacked and razed by bandits.
[00:48] Casserole
    It's only been three weeks since
    we returned from the capital.
[00:50] Casserole
    They've already made it to Liptaver?
[00:52] Casserole
    So they'll arrive before our
    planned two-month deadline.
[00:56] Feuille
    I'd say you're right about that.
[00:58] Casserole
    Pas. Take a message.
[01:01] Casserole
    We need the leader of each
    village here on the double.
[01:03] Pas
    Sir!
[01:04] Casserole
    Tell Cointreau and Glacage to come as well.
[01:08] Pas
    I will!
[01:10] Pas
    The bandits will be arriving
    sooner than expected.
[01:12] Pas
    I have to stop them!
[01:15] Pas
    My dream is to create a land of sweets.
[01:18] Pas
    I can't let bandits destroy that dream!
[01:23] Narrator
    This is the tale of a genius patissier
    who died before his time,
[01:28] Narrator
    and was reincarnated as the son
    of a poor noble in another world
[01:32] Narrator
    to pursue a world full
    of desserts and smiles.
[01:36] Narrator
    It's a tale that is at once cold
    and unsparing, and syrupy sweet.
[01:42] Narrator
    His dream is to create this
    world's very own land of sweets!

[03:23] Pas
    Father evaluated the situation
    and acted quickly.
[03:26] Pas
    We would temporarily seal up
    the two smaller villages.
[03:29] Pas
    He ordered their wells filled in, and
    their fields and homesteads stripped.
[03:34] Pas
    The people from the sealed villages
    moved here to the main one.
[03:37] Pas
    We'd be luring the bandits there.
[03:39] Pas
    The goal was to avoid sporadic fighting.
[03:42] Feuille
    Boss!
[03:44] Feuille
    I rounded up as many folks as I could.
[03:48] Casserole
    How long do you reckon we can hold out?
[03:50] Feuille
    Three days, I'd say.
[03:52] Feuille
    Though if we ration ourselves
    to one meal a day,
[03:54] Feuille
    we could stretch it out to seven.
[04:01] Pas
    We're short on forces.
[04:04] Pas
    Aside from Father and his retainers
    Feuille, Cointreau, and Glacage,
[04:09] Pas
    they're all peasant conscripts.
[04:11] Pas
    In a prolonged campaign, we'll
    eventually be overwhelmed.
[04:14] Pas
    Father and Feuille have to know that too.
[04:18] Pas
    We need a plan.
[04:20] Marc
    Lord Pas!
[04:21] Pas
    Marc! Lumi!
[04:23] Marc
    We'll help too!
[04:25] Lumi
    We're your lieutenants, after all!
[04:28] Pas
    My lieutenants?
[04:29] Lumi
    Our fathers are retainers to
    this land's suzerain, right?
[04:33] Marc
    Which makes us retainers
    to its next suzerain: you!
[04:40] Pas
    Getting the noble treatment from my two
    childhood friends makes my skin crawl.
[04:43] Pas
    I wish you'd knock it off.
[04:47] Pas
    Normally, around this time, I'd be
    playing with them and the other kids—
[04:52] Lumi
    Pas? What's up?
[04:54] Pas
    There's a favor I'd like to ask you guys.
[04:57] Marc
    Sure, you name it!
[04:59] Pas
    Could you gather up rocks?
[05:01] Marc
    Rocks?
[05:02] Pas
    Yes. Nothing special, just the
     right size for throwing.
[05:06] Lumi
    Got it!
[05:08] Pas
    The bandits are within the fief's
    boundaries already, right?
[05:12] Pas
    If you hear any distant sounds
    or see anything out of the ordinary,
[05:15] Pas
    get yourselves inside the walls
    before checking any further.
[05:18] Marc
    As you command, Lord Pas!
[05:20] Pas
    I told you, no noble treatment!
[05:29] Marc
    My back's killing me!
[05:31] Lumi
    You sound like such an old man!
[05:32] Marc
    Whaddya want from me?
[05:34] Marc
    We've done ten laps around
    the village by now...
[05:37] Lumi
    By the way, what kind of magic
    did Pas end up with?
[05:40] Marc
    I dunno.
[05:42] Marc
    He says he's still practicing
    and won't tell me what it is.
[05:44] Lumi
    It's still pretty awesome.
[05:47] Lumi
    He's gotten even further ahead of you now.
[05:49] Marc
    Whaddya mean, "even further"?!
[05:51] Marc
    I'm still way better than him in a brawl!
[05:54] Lumi
    Yeah, yeah.
[05:55] Marc
    Just you watch!
    I'll pound those lousy bandits—
[05:59] Marc
    Hey, you hear something just now?
[06:02] Lumi
    Huh?
[06:02] Lumi
    No way. Your ears are just defective.
[06:15] Lumi
    Crap...
[06:23] Marc
    They're here!
[06:25] Marc
    The bandits!
[06:26] Lumi
    The bandits are here!
[06:28] Cointreau
    Close the gate!
[06:29] Cointreau
    Draw back the bridge!
[06:31] Cointreau
    Don't let the bandits inside!
[06:33] Marc
    Dad!
[06:35] Cointreau
    Both of you, stay with Lord Pas.
[06:37] Marc/Lumi
    Yes, sir!
[06:41] Pas
    Mother, get the little
    children inside at once!
[06:44] Villager 1
    A-Are the bandits... really here?
[06:47] Villager 2
    You really think we'll
    be enough to stop them?
[06:50] Feuille
    Stay strong, everyone!
[06:54] People
    It's the suzerain lord!
[06:57] Casserole
    Listen well, everyone!
[06:59] Casserole
    If the bandits make it in here,
[07:01] Casserole
    they'll kill our people, steal our food,
    and burn our houses down!
[07:05] Casserole
    I refuse to let that happen!
[07:08] Casserole
    I ask for a similar dedication from you!
[07:10] Casserole
    Let all who share this desire
    to protect our families
[07:13] Casserole
    band together to drive these bandits back!
[07:17] Casserole
    There's not a single man here
    I believe to be a coward.
[07:20] Casserole
    I ask you to share my faith!
[07:22] Casserole
    Are you ready to do this?!
[07:26] Pas
    That's the father I know!
[07:28] Pas
    The villagers were so hesitant,
    but he's filled them with courage!
[07:34] Casserole
    The night will come soon.
[07:36] Casserole
    That's when the bandits will strike!
[07:38] Casserole
    Show me your spirit!
[07:42] Casserole
    Cointreau, to the western canal.
[07:44] Cointreau
    Sir!
[07:45] Casserole
    Glacage, the east-to-center region.
[07:48] Glacage
    I'll handle it, sir.
[07:48] Glacage
    With me, everyone!
[07:51] Feuille
    Boss.
[07:52] Feuille
    The bandits don't know the area like we do.
[07:55] Feuille
    They'll be at a disadvantage in the dark.
[07:57] Feuille
    Don't you think they might
    wait and strike at dawn?
[08:02] Casserole
    No, I suspect they're running
    low on food and provisions.
[08:07] Casserole
    Last year's frost will have left our
    neighboring fiefs with poor crop yields.
[08:13] Casserole
    They'll want to strike as soon as possible.
[08:15] Casserole
    They'll attack at night, even if
     it's to their disadvantage.
[08:18] Feuille
    But if they don't,
[08:20] Feuille
    keeping the men up all night
    will just wear them down!
[08:24] Casserole
    What do you think, Pas?
[08:27] Pas
    There's too much we don't know.
[08:29] Pas
    I think we need to learn, in detail,
    the extent of the enemy's supplies and forces.
[08:36] Pas
    It's the same when making sweets.
[08:37] Pas
    Before you work, you have to
    know exactly what you need
[08:40] Pas
    in terms of ingredients, time,
    temperature, and everything.
[08:45] Pas
    Early on, when I was making
    my first chocolate gâteau—
[08:48] Pas
    No, stop that! You've got
    bigger things to focus on!
[08:51] Casserole
    All right.
[08:52] Pas
    Where are you going, Father?
[08:54] Casserole
    Aggressive reconnaissance.
[08:56] Casserole
    You'll join me, Feuille.
[08:58] Casserole
    It's still early enough for a hit-and-run.
[09:01] Feuille
    Sheesh. You're such a taskmaster, boss.
[09:05] Casserole
    Pas, you're in charge while I'm gone.
[09:08] Pas
    Yes, sir!
[09:11] Casserole
    We'll hit the bandits hard and withdraw,
[09:14] Casserole
    taking a long detour to return
    through the northern entrance.
[09:18] Pas
    Take care, Father!
[09:20] Pas
    I have to do what I can on my own
    before they make it back.
[09:26] Pas
    Marc.
[09:27] Pas
    Pass a message to Cointreau
    at the western canal.
[09:31] Pas
    "We'll use flaming arrows to
    signal the enemy's arrival."
[09:34] Pas
    Lumi, tell Glacage to start
    preparing the flaming arrows.
[09:38] Pas
    Tell him, once Father and
    Feuille are out of sight,
[09:40] Pas
    the minute you hear even
    the faintest of hoofbeats again,
[09:44] Pas
    fire the flaming arrows
    in the direction of the sound.
[09:48] Lumi
    You sure about that?
[09:49] Lumi
    The arrows could hit His Lordship as well.
[09:52] Pas
    You think my father would let himself get hit
    by a stray arrow fired from that far away?
[09:57] Marc
    Yeah, pretty hard to imagine!
[10:00] Marc
    I mean, he showed me something
    I've never seen before...
[10:04] Marc
    He dodged a falling rock!
[10:06] Lumi
    Yeah! He really took us to task after that.
[10:10] Marc
    He took your dad to task for it, too!
[10:14] Pas
    Although Father and Feuille
    know the land well,
[10:17] Pas
    a night pursuit by bandits could
    distort their sense of direction.
[10:21] Pas
    The flaming arrows should
    help to guide them home.
[10:24] Marc
    Why can't he just teleport out
    with his magic?
[10:26] Pas
    His teleportation spell has a weight limit.
[10:29] Pas
    It would be hard for him to use it on himself,
    Feuille, and the horses all at once.
[10:33] Marc
    Oh, really? Got it!
[10:35] Pas
    Now, to your tasks!
[10:37] Marc/Lumi
    Right!
[10:40] Girl
    I'm scared!
[10:43] Marie
    What's gonna happen to the village?
[10:45] Josephine
    Hey, don't be scared. It'll be all right.
[10:48] Josephine
    My father and your fathers
    will keep us all safe.
[10:53] Agnes
    That's right.
[10:54] Agnes
    Now, Josie. Inside with you, too.
[10:57] Josephine
    Let's go.
[10:59] Agnes
    Pas.
[11:02] Agnes
    Take care.
[11:03] Pas
    Yes, ma'am!
[11:05] Pas
    I thought sweets were the only thing
    I'd ever have to think about.
[11:09] Pas
    But in this world, the only way to make
    my dream come true is to protect our fief.
[11:13] Pas
    And I will make it come true!
[11:16] Pas
    To protect these people,
    and bring smiles to their faces—
[11:19] Pas
    That's what my dream means.
[11:20] Pas
    That's what a land of sweets means!
[11:26] Pas
    Father wants to get
    the battle over with tonight,
[11:30] Pas
    even if he has to play decoy to do it.
[11:34] Casserole
    You're in charge while I'm gone.
[11:40] Pas
    Prepare to meet the bandits!
[11:44] Pas
    Gather all the boys here!
[12:10] Feuille
    Boss, we've got bad news here.
[12:13] Feuille
    Our "bandits" are a gang of ex-cavalry.
[12:18] Feuille
    They've got five horses.
    Nice, able ones, at that.
[12:22] Feuille
    And they seem to know how to ride them.
[12:25] Casserole
    How many of the bandits are there?
[12:27] Feuille
    Fifty? Six—no, seventy.
[12:30] Casserole
    I doubt they were forced
    into banditry by starvation.
[12:35] Casserole
    This is likely a group of professionals.
[12:39] Feuille
    And...
[12:40] Feuille
    I see some captured villagers from somewhere.
[12:43] Feuille
    Probably being used as slaves.
[12:47] Casserole
    I'll never let them do that
    to our families and comrades!
[12:51] Casserole
    Don't fall behind, Feuille.
[12:53] Feuille
    Who do you think you're talking to?
[12:55] Feuille
    I'm more worried about you.
[12:56] Feuille
    Ride fast so you don't get
    an arrow in the butt, boss!
[13:06] Bandit 1
    Chief, no sign of life
    in the surrounding villages.
[13:10] Bandit 2
    The wells are useless. All filled in.
[13:13] Helm
    Yeah, I figured.
[13:15] Helm
    They've sealed the other villages
    to focus their forces in one place.
[13:20] Helm
    Now...
[13:22] Helm
    The sun's down.
[13:24] Helm
    Let's head out.
[13:25] Bandit 1/2
    Right!
[13:38] Helm
    Soldiers from Morteln?
[13:47] Helm
    They're not focused on killing,
    just making it through.
[13:51] Helm
    That's some impressive
    cavalry tactics they've got...
[13:55] Helm
    They gotta be trained riders!
[13:57] Helm
    They'll make another pass! Be ready!
[14:04] Helm
    Idiots! Don't get in front of their horses!
[14:07] Helm
    They'll trample you to death!
[14:09] Feuille
    The guy gives smart orders.
[14:12] Casserole
    We won't manage another cavalry charge.
[14:17] Feuille
    Boss, we're done for!
[14:18] Feuille
    There's too damn many of 'em!
[14:20] Casserole
    All right, let's head back
    and muster our defenses!
[14:25] Bandit 2
    Don't let 'em escape!
[14:26] Bandit 3
    After 'em! Don't let 'em
    get back to the village!
[14:28] Bandit 2
    There's only two of 'em!
[14:28] Helm
    Wait, damn you!
[14:30] Bandit 1
    We'll catch 'em and
    strip 'em of all they got!
[14:33] Helm
    The fools!
[14:36] Feuille
    Looks like they took the bait.
[14:38] Casserole
    Let's make it back safe!
[14:45] Villager 1
    S-Sir Glacage?
[14:54] Glacage
    The fire arrows!
[14:55] Villager 1
    Y-Yes, sir!
[15:09] Glacage
    My lord...
[15:14] Cointreau
    The signal!
[15:15] Cointreau
    They're here! The bandits are coming!
[15:21] Feuille
    A fire arrow! It's coming from the village!
[15:24] Casserole
    That's Pas.
[15:25] Casserole
    He wants to do it to guide us here,
[15:28] Casserole
    but if he's comfortable telling them
    right where the village is...
[15:33] Casserole
    He must have set a trap!
[15:36] Feuille
    If we go around the east side,
    they'll ravage the fields.
[15:39] Feuille
    We'll have to go west.
[15:40] Casserole
    I don't know what he's
    got planned, but let's go!
[15:45] Villager 1
    Lord Pas! Emergency!
[15:49] Villager 1
    His Lordship and Sir Feuille
    are being pursued by bandits!
[15:52] Pas
    Did you fire the arrows?
[15:53] Villager 1
    Two of them already.
[15:55] Villager 1
    They're heading around the west side!
[16:00] Pas
    Prepare to fight back!
[16:11] Bandit 1
    We'll kill you all!
[16:14] Casserole
    Time for that detour!
[16:26] Pas
    Fire!
[16:30] Bandit 1
    What the...
[16:37] Helm
    Damn!
[16:38] Helm
    I knew it was a trap!
[16:40] Pas
    Next!
[16:44] Pas
    Fire!
[16:50] Pas
    Fire!
[16:54] Marc
    I never thought playing with slingshots
    would come in handy like this!
[16:59] Pas
    Once Father and Feuille have made their
    run on the bandits and head back,
[17:03] (Flashback) Pas
    they'll want to avoid the fields
    by taking the western route.
[17:06] (Flashback) Pas
    The bandits' pursuit will likely
    leave them in a straight line.
[17:11] (Flashback) Pas
    The flank of that line
    will be their weak point.
[17:14] (Flashback) Pas
    We'll hit them there!
[17:16] (Flashback) Villager 1
    A-And we're having the children do this?
[17:19] (Flashback) Marc
    Hey, don't be stupid!
[17:21] (Flashback) Marc
    We're better with slingshots
    than any of you guys, right?
[17:25] (Flashback) Lumi
    We play with 'em everyday, after all.
[17:27] (Flashback) Boy 1
    Yeah! Yeah!
[17:29] (Flashback) Boy 2
    We can be useful too!
[17:31] (Flashback) Villager 2
    Ego in check, kiddo.
[17:34] (Flashback) Pas
    This is still just an ambush.
[17:36] (Flashback) Pas
    However...
[17:37] (Flashback) Pas
    If we can disrupt their formation
    and throw their line into chaos,
[17:41] (Flashback) Pas
    it will allow Father and Feuille
    more freedom to move.
[17:47] (Flashback) Pas
    If the children fight with us,
[17:50] (Flashback) Pas
    we can make up for our
    numerical disadvantage.
[17:54] (Flashback) Pas
    The minute the enemy crosses the canal,
[17:56] (Flashback) Pas
    the children will fall back,
[17:58] (Flashback) Pas
    and the armed villagers will meet them.
[18:01] (Flashback) Villager 1
    All right.
[18:02] (Flashback) Villager 1
    Our lord told us to protect
    the village together.
[18:06] (Flashback) Villager 1
    Let's carry out Lord Pas's plan!
[18:09] (Flashback) Villagers/Kids
    Yeah!
[18:11] (Flashback) Lumi
    Yeah! Let's show those
    old guys what we can do!
[18:15] (Flashback) Pas
    Lumi...
[18:17] (Flashback) Pas
    I mean, you're a girl.
[18:18] (Flashback) Pas
    I'd really rather you sit this one out.
[18:21] (Flashback) Lumi
    What the hell?
[18:23] (Flashback) Lumi
    I'm an exception, right?
[18:25] (Flashback) Lumi
    You can't tell the next lord's personal
    retainer she can't participate.
[18:28] (Flashback) Pas
    I guess... yeah, thanks.
[18:31] (Flashback) Boy 3
    I'm not sure if I can do it.
[18:38] (Flashback) Boy 3
    Lord Pas...
[18:39] (Flashback) Pas
    It's okay. You can do it.
[18:41] (Flashback) Pas
    Just treat it like you're
    playing, like always.
[18:44] (Flashback) Boy 3/4
    Yes, sir!
[18:46] Pas
    I won't let the children get hurt!
[18:50] Pas
    Fire!
[18:55] Feuille
    Nice work, kid!
[18:57] Casserole
    Let's go, Feuille! Keep it up!
[18:59] Feuille
    You got it, Boss!
[19:01] Helm
    Damn kids...
[19:09] Villager 1
    One's heading our way!
[19:11] Pas
    Fire!
[19:16] Helm
    No more games!
[19:29] Bandit 5
    Follow the chief!
[19:32] Villager 1
    Th-They're here!
[19:36] Villager 2
    Lord Pas, run!
[19:54] Helm
    If you wanna die, come try me!
[20:02] Helm
    Your opponents are right here.
[20:06] Glacage
    Bring it on!
[20:14] Feuille
    Boss, their leader went after the kids!
[20:22] Bandit 2
    It's hot! It's hot!
[20:32] Helm
    I've had enough of your games!
[20:43] Boy 2
    Lord Pas!
[20:44] Pas
    Get the children inside.
[20:46] Villager 1
    Lord Pas!
[20:48] Helm
    Don't you move!
[20:50] Cointreau/Glacage
    Lord Pas!
[20:53] Helm
    Don't you move.
[20:55] Glacage
    A coward's trick.
[21:02] Pas
    That man...
[21:04] Pas
    I can use him!
[21:05] Helm
    C'mon, you bastards! Get 'em!
[21:12] Pas
    Replicate!
[21:20] Helm
    Wh-What the...
[21:30] Helm
    My face... My face is on fire!
[21:38] Helm
    D-Damn you... What'd you do to me?!
[21:42] Pas
    Nothing much.
[21:45] Pas
    I merely replicated your comrade's wound.
[21:49] Helm
    R-Replicated?
[21:52] Helm
    Can it be—
[21:54] Helm
    You're a...
[21:56] Helm
    magic... user?
[21:59] Pas
    No.
[22:01] Pas
    I'm just a patissier.

[00:17] Agnes
    We've won, then?
[00:19] Villager 2
    Yes, milady!
[00:19] Villager 2
    We have a few dozen bandits in custody.
[00:22] Agnes
    Are my husband and Pas uninjured?
[00:24] Villager 2
    His Lordship is safe.
[00:26] Villager 2
    Lord Pas took a blow to the arm.
[00:29] Agnes
    A blow?
[00:30] Agnes
    Oh, what will I do?
[00:32] Josephine
    I'm sure it's just a scratch...
[00:33] Josephine
    Isn't it?
[00:35] Villager 2
    Oh, of course!
[00:36] Villager 2
    There's nothing to worry about.
[00:40] Josephine
    Surely they know Mother is
    sick with worry about them.
[00:44] Josephine
    Why haven't Father or Pas come home yet?
[00:49] Pas
    The rightmost stack is for
    the main village here.
[00:52] Pas
    Please take the remainder
    back to your own villages.
[00:55] Villagers
    Milord!
[01:02] Narrator
    This is the tale of a genius patissier
    who died before his time,
[01:07] Narrator
    and was reincarnated as the son
    of a poor noble in another world
[01:11] Narrator
    to pursue a world full
    of desserts and smiles.
[01:15] Narrator
    It's a tale that is at once cold
    and unsparing, and syrupy sweet.
[01:21] Narrator
    His dream is to create this
    world's very own land of sweets!

[03:03] Casserole
    Keep them all tied up separately!
[03:06] Cointreau/Glacage
    My lord!
[03:11] Feuille
    Is the plan still to ship them
    off to the County of Retes?
[03:15] Casserole
    That seems the most sensible way.
[03:17] Casserole
    They can claim they dealt with the bandits
    rather than simply driving them out.
[03:21] Casserole
    That will allow the Count to save face.
[03:24] Feuille
    And what sort of gratitude
    can we expect in return?
[03:27] Casserole
    We'll have to talk that out.
[03:30] Casserole
    We'll at least need compensation
    for our campaign expenses,
[03:33] Casserole
    and the losses suffered from temporarily
    sealing the other two villages.
[03:39] Casserole
    Next! Glacage!
[03:41] Glacage
    My lord!
[03:42] Casserole
    For tremendous contributions
    to the front-line defense,
[03:45] Casserole
    I award you one spear and one silver coin!
[03:48] Glacage
    Thank you, my lord!
[03:50] Casserole
    Next! Marcarullo, Luminito!
[03:53] Marc//Lumi
    Coming! Coming!
[03:56] Marc
    Why'd he call us both together?
[03:58] Lumi
    That's what I wanna know!
[03:59] Casserole
    You both served well as Pas's assistants.
[04:04] Casserole
    I award you each a sword and a bag of barley!
[04:07] Lumi
    Score!
[04:09] Marc
    Th-Thanks!
[04:14] Marc
    Kinda makes you blush, right, Lumi?
[04:17] Lumi
    Yeah.
[04:19] Lumi
    And boy, this is heavy...
[04:22] Pas
    I'll help!
[04:23] Lumi
    Pas! Thanks so much!
[04:26] Pas
    You both did so great!
[04:29] Marc
    Maybe not as good as you, Pas...
[04:31] Marc
    But we kinda held our own, right?
[04:33] Lumi
    I totally threw more stones than you, though!
[04:37] Marc
    I'm the one who hit that bandit
    in the head at the end!
[04:38] Pas
    I'm so glad that no one died,
[04:41] Marc
    The next suzerain lord will
    be just fine with us around!
[04:41] Pas
    and we can get right back to life as it was.
[04:44] Lumi
    You can put your full trust in us.
[04:46] Pas
    I'm relying on you both.
[04:49] Marc
    Mom, look!
[04:51] Marc
    His Lordship granted me
    a sword for my service!
[04:54] Marc
    Some barley, too!
[04:55] Marc's Sister
    You're awesome, Big Brother!
[04:57] Marc's Brother
    Awthome!
[04:58] Marc's Mother
    You made it home safely.
    That's all I care about.
[05:04] Marc's Mother
    My fool of a son didn't cause
    you any trouble, did he, milord?
[05:10] Pas
    Marc and Lumi both did great!
[05:13] Pas
    I think they'll both be indispensable
    to Morteln's future!
[05:19] Lumi's Grandfather
    Great work, Lumi! That's my grandkid!
[05:22] Lumi
    Hey, that hurts!
[05:25] Lumi's Grandfather
    To think you'd be aiding our lord
    and his son at such a young age!
[05:28] Lumi
    Grandpa, you're breaking my back!
[05:31] Villager A
    We brought the wine, sir!
[05:33] Lumi's Grandfather
    Sure, come on in!
[05:34] Lumi's Grandfather
    It's time to celebrate our victory!
[05:37] Villager B
    Eh? Your father's not back yet?
[05:39] Lumi
    Yeah, he said he still had
    some business with Marc's dad.
[05:44] Villager A
    It's a shame we missed him!
[05:46] Villager A
    But hey, the young lord is here!
[05:49] Villager B
    Great timing!
[05:51] Villager B
    Come celebrate with us!
[05:53] Pas
    Oh, I'd love to!
[05:54] Marc
    Can we drink?!
[05:56] Villager C
    Don't be stupid! You and
    the young lord get milk!
[05:59] Marc
    Shucks.
[06:01] Villagers
    Cheers!
[06:05] Villager A
    I can't believe Lumi and Marc got rewards!
[06:07] Villager B
    Seriously! I thought those little
    rapscallions were nothing but trouble!
[06:12] Lumi's Grandfather
    Now I can walk down the road
    with my head held high!
[06:15] Villager C
    Ah, but the children's ambush the
    young lord led was truly magnificent!
[06:19] Lumi's Grandfather
    Long live our next suzerain lord!
[06:20] Pas
    Now, at last, I can focus on making sweets!
[06:23] Pas
    Yes! I'm gonna make me a bonka pie!
[06:26] Pas
    To make it, I need...
[06:28] Pas
    Butter,
[06:30] Pas
    flour,
[06:31] Pas
    eggs...
[06:33] Pas
    Ah, but I'll still need
    something like cinnamon...
[06:38] Marc
    Sheesh! I'm so used to everyone
    always yelling at us,
[06:42] Marc
    it feels sorta weird when
    they say nice things, y'know?
[06:44] Lumi
    Always yelling at you, you mean.
[06:47] Marc
    Aw, c'mon! You get yelled at, too!
[06:50] Marc
    Say, what do you think
    they did with the bandits?
[06:53] Lumi
    They put 'em in the shed
    in the main village, right?
[06:56] Marc
    Let's go check 'em out!
[06:58] Marc
    As future retainers to the lord of this land,
[07:01] Marc
    it's our duty to monitor the prisoners!
[07:04] Lumi
    Right!
[07:09] Villager 1
    It's not safe for children to be here!
[07:12] Lumi
    C'mon, it'll just be a second!
[07:14] Villager 1
    I said no! Go home!
[07:17] Marc
    C'mon, you stingy jerk!
[07:19] Lumi
    Treating us like kids... those big jerks!
[07:29] Lumi
    What's gotten into you?!
[07:32] Marc
    Just watch this!
[07:38] Villager 1
    Wh-What was that?
[07:39] Villager 2
    It came from back there!
[07:54] Marc
    H-H-Hey...
[07:57] Marc
    Not so tough, are they?
[07:58] Helm
    Hey, kid.
[08:00] Helm
    That sword on your hip.
[08:02] Helm
    Where'd you get it?
[08:04] Marc
    I-It was a reward!
[08:06] Helm
    See, that used to be my sword.
[08:10] Helm
    Once they turn me in, I'm dead for sure.
[08:14] Helm
    Before I die, I'd like to teach
    you how to really use my sword...
[08:19] Marc
    How to really use it?
[08:20] Helm
    Well, yeah.
[08:22] Helm
    If you use it right, it'll let you use magic!
[08:25] Marc
    Magic?!
[08:27] Marc
    Like Pas?
[08:28] Helm
    Draw the sword and hold it up in both hands.
[08:32] Lumi
    C'mon, Marc. Don't listen to that jerk!
[08:37] Marc
    L-Like this?
[08:38] Lumi
    Marc!
[08:40] Helm
    Yeah, that's right. You're a natural.
[08:43] Marc
    R-Really?
[08:45] Helm
    Now, say the magic words.
[08:47] Marc
    Magic words?
[08:48] Helm
    It's pretty dangerous, so I don't
    wanna let your friend there hear.
[08:52] Helm
    Come in close.
[08:58] Marc
    What're the magic words?
[09:00] Helm
    Listen up...
[09:03] Lumi
    Marc!
[09:16] Marc
    Lumi!
[09:24] Villager 1
    What happened?!
[09:27] Helm
    Stay back!
[09:29] Villager D
    Emergency!
[09:31] Villager D
    One of the bandits hurt Lumi!
[09:33] Lumi's Grandfather
    What?!
[09:34] Villager A
    One of the bandits?
[09:39] Pas
    Oh, no!
[09:43] Helm
    Outta the way, or the kid loses his head!
[09:45] Villager 2
    Someone tell His Lordship!
[09:47] Villager 3
    Surround him! Don't let him escape!
[09:50] Bandit
    Chief, save us too!
[09:52] Helm
    Screw you!
[09:54] Helm
    If you wanna be saved, do it yourselves!
[09:59] Villager 3
    Lumi! You okay?
[10:04] Pas
    What are you doing?
[10:08] Pas
    Lumi needs treatment at once.
[10:10] Pas
    Lumi! Lumi!
[10:15] Pas
    Stop the bleeding.
[10:16] Pas
    It doesn't matter if it leaves a scar!
[10:19] Villager 2
    R-Right!
[10:21] Pas
    Where's the bandit?
[10:22] Villager 1
    He stole a horse and fled!
[10:24] Pas
    In which direction?
[10:25] Villager 1
    To the east!
[10:26] Pas
    The east...
[10:28] Pas
    Look after Lumi!
[10:32] Pas
    The traps set in the east mountains to
    deter the bandits should still be in place.
[10:38] Pas
    If I can avoid a fatal blow,
    I can use my replication
[10:41] Pas
    to copy any wound I receive back onto him.
[10:44] Pas
    If worse comes to worst, I can force a draw.
[10:48] Pas
    Wait a minute.
[10:50] Pas
    If I can replicate anything I see...
[10:54] Pas
    Is it possible...
[10:56] Casserole
    And then Pas went in pursuit on his own?!
[10:59] Feuille
    You idiot! Why didn't you stop him?!
[11:02] Villager 1
    I-It happened so quickly...
[11:05] Casserole
    Feuille, follow me.
[11:06] Feuille
    I'll go.
[11:08] Feuille
    If he's got allies out there,
[11:10] Feuille
    they could meet up and turn
    the tables on their pursuers.
[11:13] Feuille
    You should stay here with
    Glacage and get ready.
[11:18] Casserole
    Feuille?
[11:19] Feuille
    If word of the escape gets out, it will
    be a blow to the villagers' morale.
[11:23] Feuille
    At times like this, your job is to make
    a show of strength and reassure them.
[11:34] Feuille
    Summon Cointreau.
[11:36] Villager 1
    Sir!
[11:38] Marc
    Let me go!
[11:40] Marc
    Lemme go already!
[11:42] Helm
    Annoying little brat!
[11:44] Helm
    Just shut u—
[11:49] Helm
    D-Damn it!
[11:52] Marc
    Ouch...
[11:55] Marc
    Pas!
[12:01] Helm
    You again!
[12:03] Helm
    Are you the one who set this
    stupid little trap, too?
[12:06] Helm
    You've got some wiles for a little brat...
[12:11] Pas
    Marc, stay back!
[12:14] Helm
    You want a real duel, eh?
[12:18] Casserole
    Hold it so tight, I could tear
    off your hands before you'd let go!
[12:22] Helm
    Bring it on, kid.
[12:28] Helm
    Nice charge for a brat!
[12:35] Helm
    He might think he can replicate
    a wound onto me with his magic...
[12:38] Helm
    I won't let him!
[12:40] Helm
    I'll finish him off in a single stroke!
[12:46] Helm
    What's the matter, brat?
[12:47] Marc
    Pas, run! I'm not worth it!
[12:49] Pas
    No! I'll never abandon you, Marc!
[12:55] Pas
    You're my lieutenant, remember?
[12:58] Marc
    Pas...
[12:59] Helm
    What a beautiful show of friendship!
[13:05] Helm
    So long, brat!
[13:08] Marc
    Pas!
[13:19] Feuille
    I can't find him!
[13:21] Feuille
    Where'd he get off to?
[13:23] Feuille
    Kid!
[13:27] Cointreau
    The horse came from this direction!
[13:31] Cointreau
    Marc!
[13:32] Cointreau
    Lord Pas!
[13:36] Feuille
    Is this...
[13:38] Feuille
    The kid's sword...
[13:48] Feuille
    How am I going to tell them?
[13:53] Pas
    Oh! Welcome back, Feuille!
[14:01] Feuille
    Kid?!
[14:03] Casserole
    He returned here with Marc not long ago.
[14:06] Casserole
    I got Marc home.
[14:09] Casserole
    Agnes took Pas in her arms
    and refused to let go,
[14:13] Casserole
    and eventually fell asleep just like that.
[14:15] Feuille
    So I just missed them on the way back?!
[14:17] Casserole
    I'm sorry.
[14:18] Feuille
    It's not possible!
[14:20] Feuille
    We followed right after him!
     How'd he get past us?!
[14:23] Casserole
    Pas, explain yourself.
[14:26] Pas
    Well... about that, you see...
[14:29] Pas
    It's an extremely complicated
    set of circumstances
[14:31] Pas
    requiring a highly detailed explanation...
[14:34] Pas
    So if it could wait,
    perhaps, for another day...
[14:36] Casserole
    Pas!
[14:38] Pas
    I replicated Father's magic onto
    myself earlier and used that.
[14:42] Casserole
    My teleportation?
[14:44] Feuille
    You replicated it onto yourself?
[14:46] Pas
    My magic lets me replicate
    a copy of anything onto anything else,
[14:49] Pas
    as long as it's countable and I've
    seen or interfaced with the original.
[14:55] Pas
    That includes other people's magic spells.
[15:00] Pas
    And so...
[15:04] Casserole
    I had a feeling that's what it was.
[15:06] Casserole
    Pas, a word of warning for you.
[15:09] Pas
    Y-Yes?
SIGN    Lecture Lecture Lecture
[15:12] Casserole
    You are hereby forbidden from telling anyone
    you can use other people's magic spells,
[15:16] Casserole
    or using those spells in front of others!
[15:19] Casserole
    Use of magic on the battlefield
    is extremely dangerous!
[15:22] Casserole
    Using it the wrong way could
    kill you very quickly!
[15:26] Casserole
    You may have replicated my
    teleportation onto yourself,
[15:28] Casserole
    but you could still teleport inside
    of a rock or deep into the ground!
[15:33] Pas
    I knew this would happen!
[15:38] Casserole
    If it got out that he could
    replicate any other form of magic,
[15:44] Casserole
    others might come after
    him as a human weapon.
[15:48] Feuille
    I wish we hadn't let that
    bandit leader get away.
[15:52] Casserole
    We'll just have to pray he's disposed
    of before he reveals the secret.
[16:03] Pas
    It sounds like Lumi's going to pull through.
[16:07] Pas
    I was about to pay her a visit.
[16:09] Pas
    Want to come along?
[16:13] Marc
    How am I supposed to face her?
[16:16] Marc
    It's my fault. My fault...
[16:19] Marc
    If I'd listened to Lumi and
    just ignored that bandit,
[16:24] Marc
    she never would've been hurt.
[16:26] Pas
    Moping around here won't
    make things any better.
[16:30] Pas
    Say you're sorry to her.
[16:39] Lumi
    Hey! To what do I owe
    these two fine visitors?
[16:42] Pas
    How are you healing up?
[16:44] Lumi
    Dad says I'm all better now...
[16:46] Lumi
    But when I try to go out
    to play, he yells at me!
[16:50] Pas
    I'm glad you seem well.
[16:52] Pas
    I'm going to borrow your kitchen.
[16:56] Lumi
    Marc, what's got you so down?
[17:01] Pas
    What I want to do now isn't
    fighting or dealing with bandits.
[17:08] Pas
    It's bringing smiles to faces!
[18:21] Marc
    Lumi...
[18:22] Marc
    I'm sorry!
[18:24] Lumi
    H-Hey, where'd that come from?!
[18:25] Lumi
    You're freaking me out!
[18:27] Marc
    But... it's my fault you got injured!
[18:30] Lumi
    It's fine.
[18:31] Lumi
    The bandit's the one who did it.
[18:34] Marc
    But only 'cause I was a total idiot!
[18:36] Marc
    I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!
[18:38] Lumi
    I told you, it's fine!
[18:50] Marc
    What smells so good?
[18:53] Pas
    Sounds you you got out a proper apology.
[18:56] Lumi
    Wh-What's that? It looks delicious!
[18:59] Pas
    It's apple--
[19:00] Pas
    I mean, bonka pie!
[19:02] Marc
    Bonka pie?!
[19:03] Pas
    My way of helping Lumi feel
    better, and cheering up Marc.
[19:07] Pas
    Go on, try it!
[19:10] Lumi
    Awesome! That one's mine!
[19:12] Marc
    Hey, I was gonna take that one!
[19:16] Lumi
    Early bird gets the worm!
[19:21] Marc/Lumi
    It's good!
[19:23] Marc
    It's good! It's so darn good!
[19:25] Lumi
    My wound doesn't even hurt anymore!
[19:28] Pas
    Glad to hear it!
[19:29] Pas
    Try these, too!
[19:31] Pas
    Bonkas in honey!
[19:37] Lumi/Marc
    S-So sour!
[19:40] Pas
    Right?
[19:41] Marc
    These are really the same fruit?!
[19:43] Pas
    Yes!
[19:44] Pas
    Every bonka tastes different.
    Some are sweeter, some are tart.
[19:50] Pas
    When an ingredient is that idiosyncratic,
[19:52] Pas
    you need real skill to prepare it in
    a way that harmonizes the flavors.
[19:57] Pas
    I think it's the same with people.
[19:59] Pas
    Marc, you have your own
    aspects that make you unique,
[20:02] Pas
    and I'm going to make those aspects shine!
[20:05] Marc
    Pas...
[20:06] Pas
    I think this experience has
    deepened your flavor profile.
[20:10] Pas
    I want you to take what you've learned
    from this and work hard to improve.
[20:14] Pas
    If you're gonna be my lieutenant, that is!
[20:19] Marc
    I am! I totally am!
[20:23] Glacage
    Marc...
[20:26] Lumi
    Hey, Dad! Welcome back!
[20:28] Marc
    S-Sir...
[20:30] Glacage
    You've wounded my precious
    daughter, have you?!
[20:36] Pas
    G-Glacage, calm down!
[20:40] Glacage
    Guess you'll have to make up for
    it by marrying my Lumi some day!
[20:46] Glacage
    This little tomboy of mine ain't
    gonna land a man on her own!
[20:50] Marc
    M-Marry?!
[20:51] Glacage
    Sound good to you, Lumi?
[20:52] Marc
    Of course it doe—
[20:54] Lumi
    Sounds fine to me.
[20:59] Glacage
    Well, that's that!
[21:02] Lumi
    Just four slices left, huh?
[21:04] Lumi
    Here.
[21:05] Glacage
    What's this, now?
[21:07] Lumi
    Bonka pie. Pas made it.
[21:09] Pas
    Help yourself, Glacage.
[21:11] Glacage
    As you wish.
[21:12] Marc
    Hey, what about mine?!
[21:14] Lumi
    A husband's assets belong to his wife, right?
[21:19] Lumi
    Which means I'm taking
    all the rest of the pie!
[21:23] Glacage
    She's cracking the whip already, eh?
[21:25] Glacage
    Better keep your wits about you!
[21:28] Pas
    So good!
[21:32] Pas
    Sweets really do bring smiles to faces.
[21:35] Pas
    But I'm just getting started!
[21:37] Glacage
    That's great!
[21:39] Pas
    I'm gonna do it!
[21:40] Pas
    I'm gonna make everyone
    happy in a land of sweets!
[23:17] Retes
    The bandits were dispatched
    in the Fief of Morteln?
[23:20] Coaton
    Yes.
[23:21] Coaton
    They rounded up every single one of
    the stragglers from our territory.
[23:30] Retes
    Dealing with this could be quite troublesome.

[00:04] Casserole
    We have no money.
[00:05] Feuille
    Boss, you've said that a
    number of times already.
[00:09] Feuille
    That's what we're here to discuss, right?
[00:12] Pas
    Recovery after the bandit
    raid has proved challenging.
[00:17] Pas
    The burden of reopening the two sealed
    villages has proved a heavy one.
[00:24] Pas
    Between digging up the filled-in wells,
[00:26] Pas
    rebuilding the torn-down homesteads,
[00:28] Pas
    and securing food to get through the
    upcoming winter after having to strip the fields,
[00:35] Pas
    we're quickly running through our treasury.
[00:39] Casserole
    Letting that bandit leader
    escape hasn't helped matters.
[00:44] Feuille
    We'd have secured at least
    200 gold coins for his head.
[00:49] Casserole
    We can't borrow the money?
[00:52] Feuille
    Who would lend it out to us?
[00:54] Feuille
    Every nearby fief has nothing
    to spare, thanks to the frost.
[00:58] Feuille
    Some have even been asking us for loans!
[01:02] Casserole
    What about the court nobles?
[01:05] Feuille
    Not a chance!
[01:06] Feuille
    That band of misers would charge
    a gold piece of interest!
[01:12] Pas
    Say...
[01:14] Pas
    Can't you and Mother ask
    your parents for help?
[01:19] Casserole
    I'm afraid Agnes and I both
    cut ties with our parents.
[01:23] Casserole
    A long time ago.
[01:26] Casserole
    I've never even introduced
    them to their grandchildren.
[01:28] Casserole
    I can't exactly ask them about money now.
[01:32] Pas
    I see.
[01:34] Casserole
    When your mother and I first met,
[01:37] Casserole
    my lands were even more
    barren than they are now.
[01:39] Casserole
    Everyone around us opposed the union.
[01:43] Feuille
    And after a whirlwind love affair,
     they basically eloped!
[01:48] Feuille
    Gotta say, I'm pretty jealous!
[01:51] Pas
    When the norm in this world
    is arranged marriages...
[01:53] Pas
    It must have been really hard on them.
[01:55] Casserole
    Anyway, we have no money!
[01:57] Feuille
    Yeah, we know that already!
[02:04] Narrator
    This is the tale of a genius patissier
    who died before his time,
[02:09] Narrator
    and was reincarnated as the son
    of a poor noble in another world
[02:13] Narrator
    to pursue a world full
    of desserts and smiles.
[02:17] Narrator
    It's a tale that is at once cold
    and unsparing, and syrupy sweet.
[02:23] Narrator
    His dream is to create this
    world's very own land of sweets!

[04:03] Marc
    So that's what you guys have been
    discussing in your dad's office for days?
[04:10] Pas
    Yeah.
[04:10] Marc
    Pas... don't hide stuff from us.
     It's really untouchable.
[04:14] Lumi
    Dummy. You mean "unsociable."
[04:16] Marc
    I know that!
[04:18] Pas
    Lumi, how are you healing up?
[04:20] Pas
    Do you have permission
    to be out here right now?
[04:23] Lumi
    Yeah, Dad and Grandpa both said
    it's okay if I'm out and about.
[04:26] Lumi
    See?
[04:28] Lumi
    Ow!
[04:30] Lumi
    The pain's not totally gone, though.
[04:33] Marc
    Sheesh. Take it easy, would you?
[04:35] Lumi
    C'mon, I'm fine!
[04:38] Marc
    What's so funny?
[04:39] Pas
    You just make such a cute couple!
[04:41] Marc
    I told you, it ain't like that!
[04:46] Marc
    So, what about making the fields bigger?
[04:49] Pas
    There's still room in our
    lands to expand, it's true.
[04:52] Pas
    But to do so requires time,
    manpower, and most of all, money.
[04:57] Pas
    It might not be happening any time soon.
[04:59] Lumi
    What about that bonka pie you made before?
[05:02] Pas
    Bonka pie?
[05:04] Lumi
    That was super tasty!
[05:06] Lumi
    Why not sell them in town?
[05:09] Pas
    They're fun to make, it's true...
[05:14] Pas
    Yes... so very much fun...
[05:23] Pas
    No, no! We're here to
    make
money*, not desserts!
[05:25] Pas
    In order to produce enough
    to make a profit,
[05:28] Pas
    we'd need a way to bring in a lot of bonkas.
[05:30] Pas
    It probably wouldn't work.
[05:32] Marc
    Why not teach magic, then?
[05:36] Pas
    Why do you want to learn magic?
[05:39] Marc
    You can do big things with magic, right?
[05:43] Marc
    I'd make myself rich and
    eat tasty things every day!
[05:47] Lumi
    What a joke.
[05:49] Lumi
    It'd take a miracle for you to learn magic.
[05:51] Lumi
    And even if you did learn how to use it,
[05:55] Lumi
    there's no way you'd use
    it effectively, Marc.
[05:58] Marc
    What's that supposed to mean?!
[06:00] Lumi
    I'm saying, if you learned a fire spell,
[06:01] Lumi
    the best you'd do is set fire to yourself!
[06:05] Lumi
    Because you're stupid!
[06:07] Marc
    D-Don't make fun of me!
[06:10] Pas
    Okay, okay. Enough flirting.
[06:12] Marc
    It ain't flirting, damn it!
[06:14] Lumi
    Still, magic could still be the key!
[06:17] Pas
    Magic?
[06:19] Lumi
    Why not show us that spell you use, Pas?
[06:22] Lumi
    Something might come up!
[06:24] Marc
    Hey, great idea!
[06:27] Pas
    
"Three heads is better," as they say...
[06:29] Pas
    They really might point*
    me in the right direction!
[06:33] Pas
    When I was thinking up new
    sweets back in my old world,
[06:37] Pas
    I'd spend all night brainstorming
    with my colleagues!
[06:42] Pas
    All right.
[06:43] Pas
    Draw any picture you like in the dirt.
[06:47] Lumi
    Can we draw anything?
[06:49] Pas
    Yes.
[06:55] Pas
    What's this one?
[06:58] Marc
    It's me, totally wasting a dragon with magic!
[07:02] Pas
    Oh... is that supposed to be a dragon?
[07:04] Pas
    Really?
[07:06] Pas
    I thought it was a worm with legs.
[07:10] Pas
    Lumi, is that a bonka, then?
[07:13] Lumi
    Yep!
[07:15] Lumi
    Pretty good, right?
[07:17] Pas
    And next to it?
[07:18] Lumi
    A bonka pie, of course!
[07:21] Marc
    I thought it was a rock. You suck at drawing.
[07:24] Lumi
    What was that?
[07:25] Lumi
    Yours just looks like a slithering snake!
[07:28] Marc
    Can't you see how cool my dragon is?!
[07:32] Lumi
    Only a little kid would think that!
[07:34] Pas
    Okay, okay!
[07:35] Pas
    I'm gonna use my spell now!
[07:40] Pas
    Replicate!
[08:02] Marc
    Awesome!
[08:04] Marc
    It put the picture on me!
[08:06] Lumi
    Wow! Pas, you really can use magic!
[08:09] Pas
    Well, you've seen me use it before...
[08:14] Lumi
    It's not rubbing off.
[08:16] Pas
    On skin, it disappears
    after about three days.
[08:19] Pas
    It's permanent on trees or walls, though.
[08:22] Marc
    That's so awesome!
[08:25] Lumi
    I wanna show it to Grandpa!
[08:27] Lumi
    Hey, Pas. Can you do it the other way?
[08:31] Pas
    The other way... how?
[08:34] Lumi
    Instead of copying a drawing onto something,
[08:37] Lumi
    could you copy something else as a drawing?
[08:39] Marc
    Copy something... as a drawing?
[08:42] Lumi
    If you could put a picture of a house
    or someone's face on the ground,
[08:46] Lumi
    I think that'd be pretty cool!
[08:48] Marc
    That don't make no sense!
[08:50] Marc
    Dork.
[08:51] Lumi
    What was that?!
[08:52] Marc
    Mega-dork!
[08:54] Pas
    That's it!
[08:56] Pas
    That's it!
[08:58] Pas
    Yes, that's it!
[08:59] Pas
    Lumi, you're a genius!
[09:03] Lumi
    Hey, where'd that come from?!
[09:05] Pas
    Sorry to put my hands on your wife, Marc.
[09:08] Marc
    Put that gag to rest, would ya?
[09:11] Pas
    But you gave me such a great idea!
[09:16] Agnes
    I see.
[09:17] Agnes
    Are our finances that tight?
[09:22] Agnes
    But... I'm not sure my
    parents will offer much aid.
[09:28] Casserole
    I see. I'm sorry to ask...
[09:31] Pas
    Father!
[09:33] Pas
    I've got a great way to make money!
[09:36] Feuille
    You mean it, kid?
[09:37] Casserole
    What is it?
[09:39] Pas
    You told me about your attempts to
    arrange a marriage for Josie, right?
[09:43] Casserole
    Y-Yes...
[09:45] Feuille
    The little lady's thirteen years old now.
[09:47] Feuille
    She's just about marrying age!
[09:50] Pas
    Since you have your teleportation spell,
[09:52] Pas
    you could take her all around
    to introduce her, right?
[09:58] Casserole
    Yes, and I was happy for the chance to
    show off my wonderful daughter, as well...
[10:03] Pas
    What do parents who don't have
    that sort of magic available do?
[10:08] Casserole
    The most efficient way is to attend
    a royal ball at the capital.
[10:14] Agnes
    Yes, and travel can prove so dangerous...
[10:18] Casserole
    Indeed, and it's far from free!
[10:21] Feuille
    They say that when a noble travels,
    their money sprouts wings and flies away!
[10:25] Pas
    What if we sold something like this, then?
[10:30] Pas
    Replicate!
[10:36] Agnes
    Goodness!
[10:38] Casserole
    Look at that!
[10:40] Feuille
    It looks just like her!
[10:42] Agnes
    It's like looking in a mirror!
[10:45] Pas
    I call them "matchmaking photos."
[10:48] Pas
    "Ask the heir to the Fief
    of Morteln to use his magic
[10:50] Pas
    to make you a matchmaking photo,
[10:52] Pas
    and you can show off your child
    without the need for travel."
[10:57] Pas
    That can be our pitch to parents
    seeking arranged marriages!
[11:03] Pas
    I guess knowledge unrelated
    to sweets can come in handy too!
[11:09] Casserole
    We could fetch five or ten gold
    coins for a picture this detailed...
[11:14] Casserole
    It's still cheaper than a proper portrait,
[11:16] Casserole
    and because it's magic, we don't
    have to charge for materials.
[11:20] Casserole
    Plenty of parents would pay out the nose
    to introduce their child with a picture.
[11:26] Casserole
    This might just work.
[11:28] Feuille
    But the nature of the kid's
    magic will get out like this.
[11:32] Feuille
    Do we want to risk it?
[11:33] Pas
    It's not as if we'd be
    able to hide it forever.
[11:36] Pas
    And letting people think my magic
    is just about making pictures
[11:41] Pas
    might let me hide in plain sight.
[11:46] Feuille
    I see.
[11:48] Casserole
    All right.
[11:49] Casserole
    Let's start by feeling
    out Count Retes about it.
[11:50] Agnes
    Pas, my love?
[11:52] Pas
    Yes?
[11:52] Agnes
    Look at this part here.
[11:55] Agnes
    These crow's feet...
[11:56] Agnes
    Can you erase them?
[12:02] Pas
    Located in the south of the
    Divine Kingdom of Praulich,
[12:05] Pas
    the County of Retes is an outlying domain
[12:06] Pas
    bordered to the east and south by the sea.
[12:09] Pas
    Over fifty villages lie within
    its borders, with four main villages.
[12:16] Pas
    They're all linked by roads to the
    local capital, which administrates them.
[12:22] Pas
    It's one of the largest domains in the south.

    At the core of it all is the
    local capital, Retesvale.

    I have come seeking a
    meeting with Count Retes.
[12:32] Casserole
    I ask for safe passage within.
[12:35] Captain
    We've been expecting you.
[12:37] Retes
    Has he come to take me to task for
    failing to crush the bandit threat?
[12:42] Coaton
    Chastisement from a mere backwater
    noble is nothing to fear.
[12:48] Retes
    Perhaps so.
[12:50] Retes
    I'll butter him up and send him on his way.
[12:57] Captain
    Mistress, the Lord of Morteln has arrived.
[13:01] Retes
    Allow him in.
[13:03] Coaton
    We are pleased to have you here, milord.
[13:06] Retes
    I could not be more honored to

[13:18] (Flashback) Casserole
    Listen to me, Pas.
[13:20] (Flashback) Casserole
    She's the eldest daughter
    of the previous Count Retes.
[13:23] (Flashback) Casserole
    Her predecessors died in conflict,
[13:25] (Flashback) Casserole
    and her only rightful heir
    was very young at the time.
[13:31] (Flashback) Casserole
    Brioche was allowed to assume authority
    until that heir came of age.
[13:37] (Flashback) Pas
    So she's the current holder of the fief?
[13:40] (Flashback) Casserole
    But the heir died before he came of age.
[13:45] Casserole
    I am so grateful to have this
    time with you, Count Retes.
[13:50] Retes
    My, what a charming young gentleman.
[13:56] Pas
    She seems genial enough...
[13:58] Pas
    But she's watching us very closely.
[14:05] Retes
    Would you join me for tea?
[14:08] Casserole
    I would be delighted.
[14:14] Pas
    Look at those!

[14:37] Retes
    I'm truly pleased to hear that.

    I see you excel at more
    than just military matters.
[15:06] Retes
    To extract such bounties from a barren land
[15:09] Retes
    suggests you're a wonderful leader as well.
[15:12] Casserole
    You flatter me.
[15:14] Retes
    I'd love to learn your secrets
    of agricultural administration.
[15:19] Casserole
    Surely you overestimate me, my lady.
[15:22] Casserole
    A large part of why the land can
    support its people so well now
[15:26] Casserole
    is because of my son's advice.

    to oversee the cultivation of a wasteland.
[15:52] Retes
    You must be proud to have
    such a fine man for a father.
[15:57] Pas
    She's finally talking to me.
[15:59] Pas
    Now's my chance!
[16:00] Pas
    Yes, we owe our household's
    prosperity to my father!
[16:04] Retes
    I'm sure you do!
[16:08] Pas
    But the fief into which my father
    poured his sweat and tears
[16:11] Pas
    recently came under terrible attack.
[16:14] Pas
    A raid by several hundred bandits.
[16:16] Pas
    Even I and my fellow children
    were forced to take up arms.
[16:20] Retes
    Several hundred?
[16:22] Pas
    It was actually just about fifty,
[16:24] Pas
    but it's to my advantage to lie.
[16:26] Pas
    Exaggeration to throw her
    off is a negotiating tactic.
[16:27] Retes
    Oh, is that so?
[16:29] Retes
    Damnation!
[16:31] Retes
    I let the child broach the subject.
[16:34] Retes
    It's splendid to see you assuming the
    duties of nobility at such a young age.
[16:38] Coatan
    Our household could truly
    learn from your example!
[16:41] Pas
    And when we interrogated
    the bandits we'd captured,
[16:44] Pas
    they admitted they'd come out of Retesvale.
[16:49] Retes
    He's going to negotiate for damages.
[16:51] Retes
    I should plead ignorance.
[16:53] Retes
    Gracious, could such a thing be true?
[16:55] Retes
    I'd heard nothing of it.
[16:56] Pas
    If you doubt my words, we're prepared
    to turn a few bandits over to you.
[17:02] Pas
    If that fails to spark your memory,
[17:04] Pas
    we could hand them directly
    over to the royal family.
[17:06] Pas
    That could lead to an
    official investigation...
[17:09] Pas
    But would you prefer that?
[17:11] Retes
    This child...
[17:12] Retes
    Then, assuming your theory is correct,
[17:15] Retes
    perhaps it's a band that our household
    eradicated within our territory,
[17:19] Retes
    and the few remaining stragglers
    escaped into yours.
[17:24] (Flashback) Feuille
    It seems that attempts to stamp out bandits
    in the County of Retes have failed.
[17:29] Pas
    The bandits claimed they moved on after
    shaking off pursuit in your domain.
[17:36] Pas
    If you claim that your household
    eradicated the bandits,
[17:39] Pas
    whose forces did they shake off?
[17:42] Pas
    Who did they fight?
[17:45] Retes
    Well, I fear I couldn't say.
[17:48] Retes
    Do you have any proof that
    the bandits we eradicated
[17:51] Retes
    and the ones you captured
[17:53] Retes
    are the same set of bandits?
[18:00] Casserole
    One of the bandits was carrying it.
[18:02] Casserole
    It carries your family crest.
[18:06] Captain
    That's... one of my men's...
[18:08] Retes
    They've got me.
[18:10] Pas
    From our perspective, it seems your
    eradication of the bandits failed,
[18:15] Pas
    and they raided our fief as
    a result of your failure.
[18:21] Retes
    It would be difficult to say.
[18:23] Pas
    We understand your position, of course.
[18:25] Pas
    We have no intention of causing
    trouble over this incident.
[18:29] Retes
    I would be terribly grateful for that.
[18:31] Pas
    However, even if they were mere stragglers,
[18:33] Pas
    the bandits still came out of your territory.
[18:36] Pas
    Compensation for our trouble
    would be greatly appreciated.
[18:41] Retes
    Compensation, you say?
[18:44] Retes
    I'm sure we can find an appropriate amount.
[18:48] Retes
    A hundred gold coins, perhaps?
[18:51] Pas
    And damages. Surely we deserve
    to be made whole again as well?
[18:56] Retes
    You don't speak like a child, do you?
[18:59] Retes
    A hundred and thirty, then.
[19:01] Pas
    Try again.
[19:13] Retes
    A hundred and fifty.
[19:16] Pas
    Acceptable, perhaps.
[19:18] Pas
    What do you think, Father?
[19:20] Casserole
    Agreed.
[19:23] Retes
    This child...
[19:25] Retes
    He's exceptional.
[19:30] Retes
    Perhaps the Lord of Morteln's words before
[19:33] Retes
    were more than mere humility.
[19:36] Retes
    Normally, it is the father who
    would conduct negotiations.
[19:40] Retes
    And yet...
[19:42] Retes
    Still, 150 gold coins,
[19:44] Retes
    against the possibility
    of losing the king's trust
[19:47] Retes
    for letting bandits escape
    and ravage nearby lands...
[19:50] Retes
    It's a small price to pay.
[19:54] Pas
    Father, it's 150 even!
[20:02] Retes
    Perhaps I underestimated you due to your age.
[20:06] Retes
    I must admit defeat.
[20:09] Pas
    A hope you'll forgive me for
    the impertinent things I said.
[20:12] Retes
    I don't believe you've introduced yourself.
[20:16] Pas
    An unfortunate lapse. Forgive me.
[20:18] Pas
    I am the son of Casserole
    Mille Morteln, Pastry.
[20:23] Pas
    It's been a pleasure to
    make your acquaintance.
[20:26] Retes
    Pastry...
[20:27] Retes
    I'll remember that.
[20:29] Retes
    Might I ask you one thing?
[20:32] Pastry
    Yes?
[20:33] Retes
    You seemed rather displeased
    by the tea we served earlier.
[20:39] Pas
    Oh...
[20:40] Retes
    Was there a problem with it?
[20:41] Pas
    Oh, no... the tea was excellent.
[20:44] Pas
    But...
[20:45] Retes
    But?
[20:46] Pas
    I thought the accompaniments
    were perhaps overly sweet.
[20:51] Retes
    Oh?
[20:52] Pas
    When serving baked treats with tea,
[20:54] Pas
    a more modest sweetness
    might prove more appealing!
[20:59] Pas
    Why not make something less sweet next time?
[21:00] Casserole
    Pas!
[21:03] Pas
    It would allow the aroma of
    the tea to assert itself,
[21:06] Pas
    and make both the tea and
    sweets far more enjoyable!
[21:10] Retes
    Gracious... what a refined palate you have.

    I thought he was
    merely precocious, but perhaps...
[21:23] Casserole
    We should take our leave now.
[21:26] Pas
    Right...
[21:27] Pas
    Forgive me for arriving with no gift in hand.
[21:31] Pas
    Perhaps you'll take this instead.
[21:35] Pas
    Replicate.
[21:53] Retes
    It's most delightful.
[21:55] Retes
    Thank you.

[00:00] Kadlecek
    You have my thanks for coming here.
[00:03] Kadlecek
    It's a pleasure to see
    you again, Lord Morteln.
SIGN    Leader of the Royal Capital's
    Central Army Duke Kadlecek
[00:06] Casserole
    The feeling is most mutual, Your Grace.
[00:11] Casserole
    Congratulations on your
    eldest's heir coming of age.
[00:15] Kadlecek
    Well... he may have grown,
    but he's just a child.
[00:20] Casserole
    It's an honor to be invited to a banquet
[00:24] Casserole
    held by the leader of the central army.
[00:28] Kadlecek
    It's flattering to hear that
    from a hero of your stature!
[00:32] Kadlecek
    This is my grandson, Squale.
[00:34] Kadlecek
    He graduated first in his class

SIGN    Squale
[00:38] Casserole
    That's magnificent!
[00:40] Squale
    I-It's an honor to meet you, my lord!
[00:45] Casserole
    It's a true pleasure to
    meet you, Lord Squale.
[00:48] Casserole
    As your are my superior in rank,
[00:51] Casserole
    I would entreat you to call me "Casserole."
[00:53] Squale
    F-Forgive my error!
[00:56] Kadlecek
    Unclench already, boy.
[00:58] Kadlecek
    Forgive him, Lord Morteln.
[01:01] Kadlecek
    He's told me how he idolizes you, and he's
     been looking forward meeting you.
[01:06] Kadlecek
    It appears the minstrels have made tales
    of your exploits popular among the youth.
[01:14] Casserole
    I can think of no greater honor.
[01:17] Kadlecek
    And this would be... your son?
[01:20] Casserole
    Yes.
[01:21] Casserole

    I am truly honored to make your acquaintance.

SIGN    Sweet Reincarnation
[03:38] Pas
    Lord Squale,
SIGN    Sweet Matchmaking Photos and Twin Ladies
[03:39] Pas
    my most heartfelt congratulations on
    your recent ascension to manhood.
[03:44] Pas
    Your granting of this auspicious
    audience has been a true honor for me.
[03:47] Squale
    Huh? Oh, r-right!
[03:50] Squale
    Your elegant words f-flatter—
    m-my most unwor—
[03:53] Squale
    Ow.
[03:55] Kadlecek
    Magnificent!
[03:57] Kadlecek
    You're more put-together
    than my own grandson!
[04:00] Kadlecek
    I heard you've come of
    age as well, Lord Pastry.
[04:05] Kadlecek
    Were you endowed with magic at that time?
[04:07] Pas
    Yes.
[04:08] Pas
    By the grace of God, I was
    blessed with the use of magic.
[04:15] Kadlecek
    For both father and son to be so gifted...
[04:17] Kadlecek
    Truly, House Morteln must
    have earned God's favor.
[04:22] Pas
    As wonderful as the thought might be,
[04:24] Pas
    it may be no more than coincidence.
[04:28] Pas
    I believe luck was with me, nothing more.
[04:34] Kadlecek
    Would you be so kind as
    to demonstrate your magic?
[04:39] Pas
    If Your Grace so wishes it.
[04:42] Pas
    Might I ask you to hold out that cloth, then?
[04:46] Kadlecek
    Yes, most certainly!
[04:56] Pas
    Replicate!
[05:04] Kadlecek
    This is magnificent!
[05:07] Kadlecek
    I see. A spell that lets
    you create pictures...
[05:10] Kadlecek
    It's truly spectacular!
[05:12] Pas
    I thank you, Your Grace.
[05:15] Pas
    If I may, I wish to offer it as
    a gift to Lord Squale Kadlecek.
[05:21] Pas
    On behalf of myself and Margrave Hubarek.
[05:25] Kadlecek
    Margrave Hubarek?
[05:27] Kadlecek
    He doesn't appear to be
    in attendance today.
[05:30] Kadlecek
    Could it be... that this girl is...?
[05:33] Pas
    Indeed.
[05:34] Pas
    Third daughter of Margrave Hubarek,
[05:36] Pas
    the lady Petra.
[05:39] Pas
    Prior to our arrival here,
[05:40] Pas
    my father used his magic to
    visit the Margravate of Hubarek,
[05:44] Pas
    whereupon we met with them.
[05:46] Casserole
    As you know, the margravate is
    constantly feuding with its neighbor.
[05:52] Casserole
    As this creates challenges for Lady
    Petra in leaving their territory,
[05:55] Casserole
    the margrave asked if we might
    introduce her on his behalf.
[06:00] Squale
    This is Lady Petra?
[06:03] Squale
    She's so charming!
[06:07] Pas
    Next month,
[06:08] Pas
    Lady Petra will be holding a celebration
    for her own imminent coming of age.
[06:12] Pas
    She had hoped to have Lord Squale in
    attendance as an expression of friendship.
[06:17] Kadlecek
    I'm afraid we—
[06:18] Squale
    I'd love to!
[06:19] Kadlecek
    My fool of a grandson!
[06:22] Kadlecek
    Responding so quickly without
    considering his station!
[06:25] Kadlecek
    Can't he see they're trying
    to arrange a marriage?
[06:29] Kadlecek
    This boy...
[06:31] Kadlecek
    I can't underestimate him
    just because he's a child.
[06:34] Squale
    What day next month will it be?
[06:37] Kadlecek
    Calm yourself, Squale.
[06:39] Kadlecek
    How do you intend to travel there?
[06:43] Pas
    There's no need to worry
    about that, Your Grace.
[06:46] Kadlecek
    What?
[06:47] Pas
    My father would be more
    than willing to assist.
[06:50] Squale
    That's right, Grandfather!
[06:53] Squale
    With the use of Lord Morteln's magic,
     I'd easily be able to attend!
[07:00] Squale
    Lord Morteln! May I truly
    ask this imposition of you?
[07:03] Casserole
    It's no trouble at all.
[07:06] Kadlecek
    Heaven's sake...
[07:08] Pas
    Your Grace.
[07:12] Pas
    At the time of our visit,
[07:14] Pas
    it appeared to me that Lord
    Hubarek had ulterior motives.
[07:17] Kadlecek
    Ulterior motives?
[07:19] Pas
    I believe he's grown weary
    of the constant border feuds.
[07:26] Kadlecek
    How is that relevant?
[07:31] Pas
    I believe he'd like to use the awesome
    military power Your Grace controls
[07:34] Pas
    to diminish his opponent's will to fight
[07:36] Pas
    and end the feuding forever.
[07:41] Pas
    I believe he may be seeking
    a match for that purpose.
[07:47] Kadlecek
    I see.
[07:50] Kadlecek
    I'll bear that in mind. Thank you.
[07:53] Pas
    All merely my own speculation, of course.
[07:57] Kadlecek
    Out of respect for his invitation,
    I shall attend the festivities as well!
[08:03] Kadlecek
    Perhaps my son will find
    his romantic destiny,
[08:06] Kadlecek
    and it will surely make a good
    story to take back to His Majesty!
[08:11] Pas
    Bellowing it out like that to make
    sure those around us hear...
[08:15] Kadlecek
    I place myself in your hands, Lord Morteln.
[08:19] Casserole
    My lord.
[08:22] Pas
    He's declared intent to
    keep the king informed
[08:24] Pas
    and to act in accordance with the
    best interests of the kingdom.
[08:37] Squale
    Lord Pastry Morteln.
[08:40] Squale
    In honor of this occasion,
    would you be willing to call me Squale?
[08:45] Squale
    I'm a bit uncomfortable with formalities.
[08:48] Pas
    Gladly done.
[08:49] Pas
    Then I'll ask you to call me Pastry as well.
[08:53] Squale
    I'll do that.
[08:54] Squale
    By the way, Lord Pastry...
[08:56] Pas
    Yes?
[08:57] Squale
    What kinds of things does Lady Petra like?
[09:01] Squale
    Flowers, for instance,
    or a particular cuisine...
[09:03] Pas
    Things she likes?
[09:05] Pas
    Let me see...
[09:07] Pas
    I've only met her once, but...
[09:12] Pas
    It appears she likes sweets.
[09:14] Squale
    Sweets?
[09:15] Pas
    I presented her with handmade
    cookies when we first met.
[09:19] Squale
    Are you skilled at making
    sweets, Lord Pastry?
[09:23] Pas
    I most certainly am!
[09:26] Pas
    I'm never happier than
    when I'm making sweets!
[09:31] Pas
    In fact, I recently made a pie with
    bonkas I'd bought here in the capital—
[09:35] Squale
    Um... do you think we might
    discuss that another time?
[09:41] Pas
    Oh, forgive me...
[09:44] Squale
    So, er...
[09:48] Squale
    I... I have a favor to
    ask of you, Lord Pastry!
[09:51] Pas
    I'd be glad to provide any service I can.
[09:54] Squale
    It's something that only you can do!
[09:57] Pas
    You want me to make sweets?!
[10:01] Pas
    Leave it all to me! We'll start with—
[10:04] Squale
    It's about Lady Petra's portrait...
[10:05] Pas
    What?
[10:07] Squale
    Could you alter it, perhaps?
[10:08] Pas
    Alter it?
[10:11] Squale
    Could you perhaps enhance its sensuality?
[10:19] Pas
    Men are all the same...
    in any age, in any world...
[10:29] Mob
    Let's go!
[10:33] Casserole
    The provision of food and firewood
    among the citizens is going smoothly.
[10:39] Feuille
    And it's all on House Morteln's tab, right?
[10:43] Feuille
    Did you really have to do
    this all yourself, boss?
[10:46] Casserole
    What do you mean by that?
[10:48] Feuille
    A lord so eager to enrich his subjects
    that he goes off to earn his own money...
[10:52] Feuille
    It's pretty unheard of.
[10:54] Casserole
    It may not be the dignified thing to do,
[10:57] Casserole
    but I'd hardly be living up to my
    responsibilities if I let my subjects starve.
[11:03] Feuille
    Well, that indulgent side of
    yours is part of your charm.
[11:07] Casserole
    I'll need you to work all the harder
    to compensate for my indulgent side.
[11:12] Feuille
    You could afford to show me a
    little indulgence, you know...
[11:18] Pas
    What are we indulging in? Sweets?
[11:21] Casserole/Feuille
    No.
[11:23] Pas
    Aw, shucks.
[11:26] Feuille
    Everything's about sweets for you, huh, kid?
[11:30] Pas
    Father, these letters came for you.
[11:33] Casserole
    Did they? Thanks.
[11:35] Pas
    One is from Duke Kadlecek.
    The other is from Margrave Hubarek.
[11:50] Pas
    What do they say?
[11:52] Casserole
    Rejoice, Feuille, Pas.
[11:54] Casserole
    We've got a windfall coming.
[11:57] Casserole
    It says 20,000 silver coins here.
[11:59] Feuille
    Awesome!
[12:00] Pas
    Lord Squale's been engaged
    to Lady Petra, then?!
[12:05] Casserole
    Yes.
[12:06] Casserole
    It appears they've decided to announce it
    privately when Lady Petra comes of age.
[12:12] Pas
    It was worth spending all those
    hours on the matchmaking photo!
[12:17] Pas
    After all, to get that photo...
[12:20] Pas
    It took two whole days to produce
    one that the margrave approved of!
[12:29] Casserole
    And he's going to send an
    advance of thirty gold coins.
[12:33] Feuille
    How very generous of him!
[12:35] Feuille
    Maybe you can build yourself
    a grand estate, boss!
[12:39] Casserole
    Don't be a fool.
[12:40] Casserole
    It's funding for Lady Petra's security.
[12:44] Pas
    Security?
[12:45] Casserole
    He's requested that we
    keep her safe to, from,
[12:48] Casserole
    and during her coming of age
    announcement in the capital.
[12:53] Feuille
    I see.
[12:55] Feuille
    There are plenty of people out there who
    would oppose the idea of a marriage
[12:59] Feuille
    between Houses Hubarek and Kadlecek.
[13:01] Casserole
    Yes.
[13:02] Casserole
    The neighbor they're feuding
     with in particular.
[13:06] Feuille
    But they're keeping the
    engagement secret, right?
[13:09] Feuille
    As long as the information doesn't get out...
[13:12] Pas
    It's the Church, right?
[13:16] Casserole
    Officially, the Church is a neutral entity,
[13:20] Casserole
    but a large enough bribe
    can loosen their tongues.
[13:24] Pas
    And the fact that they're officially neutral
[13:27] Pas
    allows them to collect a
    whole lot of information...
[13:31] Feuille
    Sheesh, what a pain in the neck!
[13:33] Casserole
    I can protect Lady Petra herself well enough
    with just my teleportation spell, but...
[13:39] Pas
    Yes, it won't be easy.
[13:41] Pas
    Looking after Lady Petra
[13:43] Pas
    while also transporting her
    retinue and guards to the capital
[13:46] Pas
    would prove difficult, even for you.
[13:48] Casserole
    And assuming I teleport just
    Lady Petra to the capital,
[13:53] Casserole
    we would need to secure guards for her there.
[13:56] Pas
    So that's what the gold's for, right?
[13:59] Feuille
    But even if you try to
    recruit aid in the capital,
[14:01] Feuille
    there's a good chance unsavory
    elements might infiltrate your hires.
[14:06] Feuille
    Should we turn the job down?
[14:08] Casserole
    Don't be a fool.
[14:09] Casserole
    Nothing will better secure
    our position than to earn
[14:13] Casserole
    the trust of two of the
    kingdom's major players.
[14:16] Casserole
    To ensure the prosperity of the
    Fief of Morteln, I must accept.
[14:22] Pas
    Yes, and it's not just
    for the Fief of Morteln.
[14:27] Pas
    To make my dream of a land
    of sweets a reality...
[14:31] Pas
    we must make this mission a success.
[14:36] Pas
    If not for the risk of the
    Church leaking information...
[14:40] Pas
    The Church?
[14:42] Feuille
    Kid?
[14:43] Casserole
    What's this about the Church, Pas?
[14:45] Pas
    I just thought of a great place
    where we can keep Lady Petra safe!
[14:49] Casserole
    What?
[14:50] Pas
    A place with no windows
    and only one entrance
[14:53] Pas
    surrounded by thick walls...
[14:56] Casserole
    The True Sanctification ritual chamber?
[14:59] Feuille
    Of course! That's a great idea!
[15:02] Pas
    Since she's going to the capital for
    her coming of age announcement anyway,
[15:06] Pas
    it's natural that she'd undergo
    the Sanctification Ceremony.
[15:10] Pas
    If we just tell people that
    it's running a bit long...
[15:14] Feuille
    So we lock Lady Petra in until
    the engagement is announced!
[15:18] Pas
    "Lock her in" sounds a bit unsavory...
[15:21] Pas
    We're keeping her safe from outside elements.
[15:25] Feuille
    It might just work.
[15:26] Casserole
    Right. Let's try it.
[15:28] Feuille
    Yes!
[15:29] Feuille
    And if we don't have to hire mercenaries,
    we can pocket those thirty gold coins!
[15:34] Pas
    There's also this.
[15:35] Pas
    A receipt for materials from
    the traveling merchant.
[15:39] Pas
    Please see to it.
[15:40] Casserole
    I will.
[15:42] Pas
    If you'll excuse me, then.
[15:44] Casserole
    Hold on, Pas.
[15:46] Pas
    Wh-What is it, Fathe—
[15:50] Casserole
    What's this about a crate of
    bonkas and a barrel of sugar?
[15:57] Feuille
    The kid's making sweets again, huh?
[16:00] Casserole
    Did you spend all this
    money without telling me?
[16:05] Pas
    Tee-hee!

    Don't you titter at me, you fool of a son!

[16:30] Casserole
    We're honored that you came to
    meet us in person, Lord Hubarek.
[16:34] Hubarek
    And your son is with you today?
[16:37] Casserole
    Yes, as we're escorting Her Ladyship.
[16:41] Casserole
    Like it or not, she may be
    waiting for quite a long time.
[16:46] Casserole
    Having someone closer to her own age
    might keep her from getting bored.
[16:50] Casserole
    I can't exactly tell him my nine-year-old
    son is in on the plan.
[16:56] Pas
    It's a pleasure to see you again.
[16:58] Hubarek
    Your magic is why we were blessed
    with this marriage, Lord Pastry.
[17:03] Hubarek
    I owe you my thanks.
[17:04] Pas
    You honor me.
[17:06] Hubarek
    Now, to the carriage.
[17:09] Hubarek
    My daughter is already on board.
[17:14] Petra
    Lord Morteln!
[17:16] Petra
    Thank you for accompanying me.
[17:19] Casserole
    Lady Petra, I have never seen
    you looking more lovely.
[17:24] Petra
    My, what a flatterer!
[17:26] Pas
    Lady Petra, I'm glad to see you well.
[17:30] Petra
    Lord Pastry.
[17:31] Petra
    Thank you for the cookies
    you recently gifted me.
[17:35] Pas
    I'm thrilled to know that you enjoyed them.
[17:38] Pas
    I'll seek some occasion to send you more.
[17:41] Petra
    How delightful!
[17:43] Petra
    I've been dreaming about them ever since.
[17:45] Petra
    They were truly delicious!
[17:47] Pas
    When I was mixing in the
    flour, I added a little—
[17:51] Casserole
    Pas, we're in a hurry.
[17:53] Pas
    F-Forgive me!
[17:57] Pas
    Lady Licorice, a pleasure to see you again.
[18:00] Licorice
    Yes...
[18:01] Petra
    Lico, try to be a bit more forthcoming.
[18:04] Petra
    He kindly traveled all this
    way to escort us, after all.
[18:08] Licorice
    Forgive me, Sister.
[18:10] Petra
    Don't apologize to me, now.
[18:13] Petra
    Lord Pastry, I do hope she hasn't upset you.
[18:17] Pas
    No, not at all.
[18:22] Hubarek
    Let's move out.
[18:27] Petra
    Can you make things other than cookies?
[18:29] Pas
    Of course I can!
[18:32] Licorice
    I'm just... an afterthought, after all.
[18:38] Pas
    The plan today
[18:40] Pas
    is to enter the church within
    the margravate's borders
[18:43] Pas
    under claim of receiving
    a True Sanctification.
[18:47] Pas
    From there, we'll teleport
    to the church in the capital.
[18:53] Pas
    Then, in the capital,
[18:55] Pas
    Lady Petra enters the chamber
    until announcement time,
[18:58] Pas
    while we all stand guard.
[19:00] Pas
    That's the basic idea.
[19:02] Pas
    It's true! And every bonka is unique...
[19:04] Hubarek
    As expected, those seeking to harm
    my daughter are making their move.
[19:06] ---
    
[19:08] ---
    
[19:08] ---
    
[19:10] Hubarek
    I'm counting on you, Lord Casserole.

    My men are already making
    preparations in the capital.

    Now, milady, we've arrived.
[19:42] Petra
    Right.
[20:06] Pas
    They're coming!
[20:13] Bandit 1
    They're inside the carriage!
[20:16] Hubarek
    No!
[20:19] Caera
    My ladies!
[20:28] Bandit 2
    Y-You brat...
[20:30] Pas
    I won't let you lay a hand upon these girls!
[20:40] Licorice
    Look ou—
[20:48] Casserole
    Fools!
[20:49] Casserole
    Train two hundred years more, then try again!
[20:52] Bandit 1
    Retreat!
[20:58] Pas
    Father... I don't think people
    can live for two hundred years.
[21:03] Casserole
    I'll reduce it to one hundred, then.
[21:06] Pas
    I don't think that'll work either...
[21:08] Hubarek
    Lord Casserole, Lord Pastry...
[21:11] Hubarek
    Magnificent work.
[21:12] Hubarek
    I'm grateful to you for
    protecting my daughters.
[21:16] Casserole
    It's nothing.
[21:16] Casserole
    Now, let's hurry inside.
[21:22] Pas
    Come, let's go.
[21:24] Petra
    Right...
[21:29] Pas
    Understandable, I suppose.

    It's my first time in the basement here.

    We're with you.
[00:10] Pas
    Now, watch your step.
[00:13] Licorice
    What a curious boy...
[00:15] Licorice
    I'm the elder between us,
    yet I feel like I'm the child...
[00:21] Licorice
    Wouldn't he rather be
    taking my sister's hand?
[00:26] Licorice
    He doesn't compare me to my sister.
[00:31] Licorice
    What a coward I've been.
[00:33] Licorice
    I even spent all day today
    sulking that my sister
[00:36] Licorice
    was chosen for marriage
    because she's prettier,
[00:39] Licorice
    and that I'm just an afterthought...
[00:43] Licorice
    I was so rude to him earlier, as well.
[00:48] Licorice
    And yet... Lord Pastry never...
[01:00] Petra
    We'll hold the Sanctification Ceremony here?
[01:03] Pas
    No.
[01:04] Pas
    We'll be using my father's teleportation
    to fly to the royal capital.
[01:08] Pas
    The ceremony will take place there.
[01:11] Petra
    From here to the royal capital?
[01:13] Pas
    I assure you, there's nothing to fear.
[01:17] Petra
    Of course.
[01:20] Pas
    Well, then...
[01:23] Pas
    Shall we proceed?
[01:29] Pas
    Please take hands among yourselves.
[01:31] Pas
    We'll want to form a straight line like that.
[01:36] Caera
    Even myself?
[01:38] Caera
    It feels rather presumptuous...
[01:40] Licorice
    Of course, Caera.
[01:48] Casserole
    Let us begin.
[02:00] Pas
    Lady Licorice.
[02:02] Pas
    It's safe to open your eyes now.

[04:17] Armire
    I called you all here for one reason.
[04:21] Armire
    I desire your aid in restoring House Armire.
[04:26] Armire
    A perfect opportunity to confound and
    even supplant those vexing Kadleceks
[04:30] Armire
    has fallen into my lap.
[04:33] Lieutenant 1
    We'll do anything, so long
    as your money's good.
[04:36] Strudel
    Who are we killing?
[04:37] Armire
    You're not killing anyone.
[04:39] Armire
    I just want you to bring a woman here.
[04:43] Strudel
    A woman?
[04:44] Armire
    You'll get ten gold pieces if you succeed.
[04:47] Bandit 1
    Ten gold pieces for bringing one woman here?!
[04:49] Bandit 2
    Talk about easy money!
[04:53] Strudel
    You wouldn't be having us kidnap
    just any woman you've fallen for.
[04:59] Strudel
    She's a noblewoman, isn't she?
[05:02] Armire
    Yes. A daughter of House Hubarek.
[05:06] Strudel
    Margrave Hubarek, eh?
[05:08] Armire
    Petra Mille Hubarek.
[05:11] Armire
    She's soon to be married
    into Duke Kadlecek's family.
[05:17] Strudel
    All right.
[05:19] Strudel
    Let's go.
[05:22] Armire
    See that you do this correctly.
[05:26] Strudel
    Who the hell do you think you're talking to?
[05:34] Armire
    Filthy wild dogs.
[05:37] Lieutenant 2
    Boss, you sure you wanna take this job?
[05:40] Lieutenant 2
    It's too weird, right?
[05:42] Lieutenant 2
    He's trying to earn his
    noble station back, right?
[05:45] Lieutenant 3
    Hiring people like us to kidnap a girl
[05:48] Lieutenant 3
    is just dragging his name through the mud.
[05:52] Strudel
    He's likely after two things:
[05:56] Strudel
    First, to disgrace House Kadlecek.
[06:00] Strudel
    It would be humiliating for
    the leader of the central army
[06:03] Strudel
    to let his own grandson's bride be kidnapped.
[06:08] Strudel
    Second...
[06:11] Strudel
    Armire wants to save the
    kidnapped girl himself,
[06:14] Strudel
    and use the clout he'll receive
    to retake his noble title.
[06:19] Strudel
    Most likely, by marrying
    the very girl he kidnapped!
[06:24] Lieutenant 2
    Boy, what a creep!
[06:27] Strudal
    A kidnapped noblewoman, married off
     to the hero who saved her...
[06:32] Strudal
    It's a real "happily ever after" story.
[06:43] Pas
    That's a lot of security...
[06:46] Casserole
    Men that Margrave Hubarek
    dispatched in advance
[06:49] Casserole
    and friendly forces from nearby, I'm told.
[06:51] Casserole
    Very impressive indeed.
[06:54] Pas
    A poor knight's household like ours
    could never amass a force like this.
[06:59] Casserole
    You didn't have to bring that up!
[07:04] Licorice
    Sister, are you ill?
[07:06] Petra
    No...
[07:07] Petra
    But it almost doesn't feel real.
[07:10] Petra
    To be engaged...
[07:12] Pas
    I'm sure it'll feel real
    when your betrothed arrives.
[07:16] Pas
    Lord Squale is a fine young man.
[07:18] Petra
    Yes, I know that he is.
[07:21] Petra
    They showed me his portrait.
[07:24] Petra
    He is very handsome.
[07:25] Petra
    I simply can't wait to meet him in person!
[07:31] Pas
    Boy, those matchmaking
    photos really do the trick!
[07:35] Pas
    There's nothing more important
    than planning and prep work!
[07:40] Pas
    It's true with sweets, too...
[07:42] Pas
    You'll always fail if you
    don't do your mise en place!
[07:46] Hubarek
    We'll start with Petra.
[07:48] Hubarek
    The priest is waiting.
[07:50] Petra
    Yes, Father.
[07:56] Pas
    Right, I'm at work.
[07:59] Feuille
    We're here, boss!
[08:03] Casserole
    How are things at Duke Kadlecek's estate?
[08:06] Feuille
    Tons of people there, too.
[08:08] Feuille
    Not sure how they caught wind of it,
[08:10] Feuille
    but it seems even the lords of remote
    fiefs have made their way here.
[08:14] Casserole
    The joining of the houses of a margrave and
    a duke will create a powerful alliance.
[08:19] Pas
    They likely want to curry
    favor while they can.
[08:23] Feuille
    I've got Cointreau on standby
    at the duke's estate.
[08:26] Feuille
    He'll let us know if anything goes down.
[08:29] Casserole
    Now, Pas.
[08:31] Casserole
    I have an important mission for you.
[08:33] Pas
    What is it?
[08:34] Casserole
    Petra's Sanctification Ceremony
    won't be finished for a while now.
[08:39] Casserole
    Would you help Lady Licorice
    relax in a guest room?
[08:45] Casserole
    She appears quite tired.
[08:48] Pas
    I didn't even notice.
[08:50] Feuille
    Time to rise to the occasion
    as an attentive escort!
[09:00] Pas
    Lady Licorice...
[09:02] Pas
    It must be hard to relax here,
    with so much going on.
[09:05] Pas
    Would you like to rest
    a while in a guest room?
[09:08] Licorice
    But...
[09:09] Pas
    It's important to take breaks.
[09:12] Pas
    I'll escort you there.
[09:14] Licorice
    O-Of course...
[09:17] Feuille
    Hey, you player!
[09:19] Feuille
    Don't go doing anything
    to make your lady cry!
[09:23] Pas
    I'm not like you, Feuille!
[09:26] Feuille
    Ah, the innocence of youth!
[09:28] Casserole
    Feuille.
[09:30] Casserole
    Would you kindly not fill my
    son's head with strange ideas?
[09:33] Feuille
    Hey, just trying to be nice!
[09:45] Armire
    The Sanctification Ceremony
    should be finishing soon.
[09:53] Armire
    Kadlecek...
[09:55] Armire
    I'll soon revenge myself upon you!
[10:03] Vezhen
    Staff Officer Vezhen of the Central Army!
[10:06] Vezhen
    I'm here to guide Lady Petra in accordance
    with General Kadlecek's orders!
[10:11] Hubarek
    An admirable dedication to duty.
[10:14] Hubarek
    Please convey my warmest gratitude
    towards His Grace for his kindness!
[10:27] Vezhen
    Moving out!
[10:32] Feuille
    There's one step down, eh?
[10:34] Casserole
    Yes.
[10:35] Casserole
    Once the reception for the engagement
    is over and the happy couple returns,
[10:39] Casserole
    all that remains is escorting
    them back to their home territory
[10:41] Casserole
    along with Licorice and the others.
[10:43] Casserole
    So far, so good.
[10:46] Casserole
    However...
[10:48] Casserole
    With a crowd like that...
[10:49] Casserole
    Even if they purged anyone
    suspicious beforehand,
[10:53] Casserole
    we still can't let our guard down.
[10:55] Feuille
    I'm more worried about the kid, myself!
[10:58] Casserole
    Pas?
[10:59] Feuille
    A man who has come of age and an
    unpledged lady in a room, alone...
[11:04] Feuille
    What misunderstandings might occur?
[11:07] Feuille
    I can't help but worry!
[11:09] Casserole
    You seem rather amused,
    despite your claims of worry.
[11:13] Casserole
    Lady Licorice's Sanctification
    Ceremony will begin shortly.
[11:16] Casserole
    There's no need to worry.
[11:19] Casserole
    Besides...
[11:20] Casserole
    They've got a formidable chaperon with them.
[11:23] Pas
    Um...
[11:25] Pas
    Might I ask why you've joined us?
[11:26] Caera
    My duty is to protect Lady Licorice.
[11:30] Pas
    I felt sure you'd accompany Lady
    Petra to her engagement reception...
[11:34] Caera
    My duty is to protect Her Ladyship!
[11:41] Pas
    As I'd expect from a noblewoman's
    personal attendant...
[11:44] Pas
    She's determined to prevent an undesirable
    affair, even though I'm just a child!
[11:50] Pas
    C-Could I invite you to sit?
[11:53] Caera
    I will stand.
[11:54] Pas
    This is so awkward.
[11:57] Pas
    S-Surely you might prefer to relax?
[12:01] Pas
    Sweets never taste good if you
    let the dough get too hard.
[12:07] Pas
    S-Sorry, I suppose I shouldn't worry...
[12:10] Licorice
    Caera, your expression is scary.
[12:12] Caera
    It's to protect you, Your Ladyship!
[12:15] Pas
    This is the opposite of relaxing!
[12:20] Licorice
    Lord Pastry?
[12:22] Pas
    Did you hear something just now?
[12:30] Feuille
    What was that?
[12:44] Caera
    Milady!
[12:47] Caera
    Milady!
[12:56] Casserole
    What happened?!
[12:59] Casserole
    What is all this?
[13:03] Caera
    H-Her Ladyship...
[13:05] Casserole
    Where's my son?
[13:07] Caera
    H-He was with her...
[13:09] Feuille
    Boss, this isn't good.
[13:11] Casserole
    It's a giant hole, almost perfectly circular,
[13:14] Casserole
    and too deep for us to make out the bottom.
[13:16] Casserole
    To create such a thing in an instant...
[13:19] Casserole
    It must be magic.
[13:21] Feuille
    The kid...
[13:22] Casserole
    Feuille, to House Kadlecek!
[13:24] Casserole
    Explain the situation to the
    margrave and the others!
[13:27] Feuille
    Boss?
[13:29] Feuille
    Boss?!
[13:39] Feuille
    When he gets an idea in his head,
    he never listens to anyone, does he?
[13:42] Feuille
    Is this what they mean by
    "like father, like son"?
[14:06] Pas
    Where am I?
[14:07] Pas
    We fell into that hole, sofas and all...
[14:10] Pas
    Lico—
[14:11] Strudel
    Awake, are you?
[14:15] Pas
    No.
[14:16] Strudel
    Hey, that's the way.
[14:18] Strudel
    You just keep being a good little boy.
[14:21] Strudel
    We'll release you soon enough.
[14:23] Pas
    Would you care to explain
    why we've been kidnapped?
[14:27] Strudel
    I'm under no obligation
    to explain things to you.
[14:30] Pas
    That hole...
[14:33] Pas
    Was he the one who made it?
[14:36] Pas
    Caera was left behind when we fell...
[14:39] Pas
    I'm sure Father will get the
    story from her, and take action.
[14:45] Pas
    Now... what's the best thing for
    me to do until help arrives?
[14:49] Pas
    And... why did he kidnap me?
[14:53] Pas
    I'm the heir to a poor knighthood,
    not worth much at ransom...
[14:58] Pas
    Could it be... Lady Licorice?
[15:02] Strudel
    Keep an eye on them. They're how we get paid.
[15:05] Lieutenant 2
    Yes, boss.
[15:08] Strudel
    Don't get any ideas about escaping.
[15:10] Strudel
    One wrong move, and I'll
    happily dispose of you.
[15:16] Pas
    I... I have to protect her.
[15:35] Casserole
    No sign of anyone here.
[15:39] Casserole
    Pas...
[15:44] Pas
    Are you awake?
[15:47] Pas
    Do you understand the situation we're in?
[15:51] Licorice
    I'm sorry... I'm afraid I don't.
[15:54] Pas
    We've been kidnapped.
[15:57] Pas
    I think we're in the kidnappers' hideout.
[16:00] Licorice
    Kidnapped?
[16:02] Licorice
    No...
[16:04] Pas
    It's all right. I'm with you.
[16:06] Pas
    Don't worry.
[16:08] Licorice
    Lord Pastry...
[16:10] Licorice
    I wonder why...
[16:12] Licorice
    When he tells me not to worry,
    I feel like I really don't have to...
[16:17] Lieutenant 2
    Playing tough, eh?
[16:19] Lieutenant 2
    What a man.
[16:21] Pas
    The man with the mustache is likely
    the one who cast the spell.
[16:25] Pas
    But there's no guarantee there aren't
    other magic-users among them.
[16:29] Pas
    I have to act carefully.
[16:31] Pas
    I need to learn more.
[16:34] Pas
    Hey... what are you gonna do with us?
[16:37] Lieutenant 2
    Huh?
[16:38] Lieutenant 2
    Well, we know what to do with the lady.
[16:41] Lieutenant 2
    You we might have to kill.
[16:43] Pas
    You could get 200 gold coins if you don't!
[16:48] Lieutenant 2
    Two hundred?!
[16:49] Pas
    It's likely that someone else
    arranged the kidnapping.
[16:53] Pas
    I need to find out who it is.
[16:53] Lieutenant 2
    Explain yourself!
[16:56] Pas
    I'm the heir to a noble family!
[16:59] Pas
    I'm worth a great deal in ransom!
[16:59] Licorice
    Lord Pastry?
[17:02] Pas
    I know!
[17:03] Pas
    If the man who invited
    us here is a noble, too,
[17:06] Pas
    you might get even more money!
[17:08] Lieutenant 2
    What?
[17:09] Pas
    Negotiations between nobles are
    frequently solved with money!
[17:16] Lieutenant 2
    H-How much?
[17:19] Lieutenant 2
    I-If you're making this up...
[17:21] Lieutenant 2
    I'll smack you!
[17:23] Lieutenant 2
    Got it?
[17:25] Pas
    There's no doubt in my mind.
[17:26] Pas
    A noble is behind this!
[17:28] Pas
    If this is a noble's mansion...
[17:31] Pas
    From the ornamental construction,
    they must be of a high rank.
[17:35] Pas
    A duke, perhaps?
[17:37] Pas
    But given the state of disrepair,
[17:40] Pas
    it hasn't been properly maintained
    in at least ten years.
[17:43] Pas
    Could it be a former noble,
    stripped of their title?
[17:48] Pas
    And either the Kadleceks or the Hubareks
    were involved in their fall ten years prior.
[17:56] Pas
    When we were assigned to
    Lady Petra's protection,
[17:58] Pas
    we received a list of
    potential troublemakers.
[18:00] Pas
    The name on that list who
    fits these conditions...
[18:05] Pas
    The former duke of House Armire!
[18:08] Pas
    That's the most I can figure out for now.
[18:17] Pas
    Replicate!
[18:21] Pas
    Go to my father!
[18:27] Feuille
    The margrave said he can't
    spare any men right now.
[18:32] Feuille
    He has to prioritize Lady
    Petra's engagement reception.
[18:34] Casserole
    I see.
[18:36] Caera
    How awful.
[18:39] Casserole
    I can tell she's devoted to the margrave.
[18:42] Casserole
    This must be very hard on her.
[18:45] Feuille
    Who could be behind this?
[18:48] Casserole
    If we knew that, we could take action, but...
[18:51] Caera
    How can you remain so calm?!
[18:54] Caera
    Your own son was kidnapped
    along with Her Ladyship!
[18:58] Caera
    Yet you're completely unconcerned—
[18:59] Glacage
    He's not unconcerned!
[19:03] Casserole
    It would be one thing if
    Lady Licorice were alone,
[19:06] Casserole
    but Pas is with her.
[19:08] Casserole
    He'll be working on a plan!
[19:25] Casserole
    Pas...
[19:27] Feuille
    That's the kid's ribbon!
    Does it have a clue on it?
[19:30] Casserole
    They're being held at the Armire Estate!
[19:33] Casserole
    The culprit is likely from the
    former ducal house of Armire!
[19:38] Casserole
    Feuille, go to Duke Kadlecek's estate.
[19:40] Casserole
    Round up as many men as you can to help!
[19:45] Casserole
    I'll recruit able men from
    those around the church.
[19:48] Casserole
    Then we'll head right to the Armire Estate!
[19:50] Feuille
    Before you go bounding off,
[19:52] Feuille
    wouldn't it be faster to use your
    magic to send me to Duke Kadlecek's?
[19:58] Feuille
    I know you're worried about the kid,
[20:00] Feuille
    but don't go losing your head about it!
[20:03] Casserole
    I'll send you right now!
[20:06] Casserole
    Do your best, Feuille.
[20:09] Feuille
    Sure thing!
[20:15] Casserole
    Glacage.
[20:16] Glacage
    Sir!
[20:26] Lieutenant 2
    Chief?
[20:27] Strudel
    This stupid little girl!
[20:34] Pas
    Look out!
[20:37] Strudel
    Outta my way!
[20:39] Licorice
    Lord Pastry!
[20:43] Lieutenant 2
    Did that kid just appear
    in front of the chief?
[20:47] Strudel
    He'll pay for this, damn it.
[20:49] Lieutenant 2
    What happened, boss?
[20:51] Strudel
    The old bastard said we kidnapped
    the wrong sister, and he won't pay!
[20:57] Strudel
    The girl's a twin!
[20:59] Strudel
    The engagement's going off at the
    duke's house without a hitch!
[21:06] Pas
    Of course... They were
    actually after Lady Petra!
[21:08] Strudel
    We're getting outta here!
[21:10] Pas
    Lady Licorice was taken by accident!
[21:11] Lieutenant 2
    Right! Wh-Whadda we do about them?
[21:13] Strudel
    We can't leave any witnesses behind.
[21:17] Strudel
    Not that irritating Armire,
[21:19] Strudel
    and not these little brats!
[21:20] Licorice
    N-No...
[21:22] Strudel
    No hard feelings, dear.
[21:25] Licorice
    H-Help me...
[21:35] Pas
    That was a bad move...
[21:38] Pas
    Taking your eyes off of
    the other person here.
[21:41] Strudel
    D-Damn you... When did you...
[21:45] Pas
    I'm under no obligation
    to explain things to you.
[21:48] Licorice
    L-Lord Pastry...
[21:50] Pas
    Didn't I tell you? I'm with you!
[21:55] Licorice
    Would you care to surrender?
[21:56] Strudel
    Don't be stupid.
[21:58] Strudel
    We're just getting started!

    This is checkmate, then.

[00:01] Pas
    This is checkmate, then.
[00:07] Strudel
    I let my guard down because he was a kid.
[00:10] Strudel
    He used the dropped sword to cut his ropes,
[00:14] Strudel
    and defeated my lieutenant in an instant.
[00:24] Armire
    Th-This is...
[00:29] Casserole
    We'll charge in!
[00:30] Casserole
    Don't let any of those rats escape!
[00:34] Casserole
    Hold the line!
[00:39] Narrator
    This is the tale of a genius patissier
    who died before his time,
[00:44] Narrator
    and was reincarnated as the son
    of a poor noble in another world
[00:48] Narrator
    to pursue a world full
    of desserts and smiles.
[00:52] Narrator
    It's a tale that is at once cold
    and unsparing, and syrupy sweet.
[00:58] Narrator
    His dream is to create this
    world's very own land of sweets!
SIGN    Sweet Reincarnation
[02:37] Noble
    There they are!
[02:38] Retainer
    Don't let them escape! Catch them!
[02:43] Licorice
    Lord Pastry...
[02:45] Pas
    We'll be safe. Help has arrived.
[02:50] Strudel
    This is bad. Very bad...
SIGN    Beloved Smiles and Baked Treats
[02:53] Strudel
    It seems retreat is my only option.
[02:58] Pas
    You think I'll let you escape that easily?
[03:03] Casserole
    Pas!
[03:04] Glacage
    Lord Pas! Are you safe?!
[03:07] Pas
    I'm just fine!
[03:08] Pas
    See to Lady Licorice!
[03:10] Casserole
    Glacage!
[03:10] Glacage
    Sir!
[03:19] Strudel
    I'm at a disadvantage.
[03:22] Strudel
    Using the room hardest to escape from as
    a holding cell is working against me...
[03:29] Pas
    There's no way out for you now!
[03:32] Strudel
    If there's no way out, I'll make one!
[03:39] Pas
    Magic?
[03:40] Strudel
    So long!
[03:42] Pas
    Wait!
[03:43] Casserole
    Pas, no!
[03:45] Casserole
    Don't pursue.
[03:48] Pas
    Understood.
[03:53] Casserole
    Honestly, son of mine...
[03:56] Casserole
    You bring me no end of worry.
[04:00] Pas
    I'm sorry.
[04:05] Casserole
    I'm glad you're both safe.
[04:08] Pas
    Yes, sir.
[04:10] Licorice
    Lord Pa—
[04:11] Feuille
    Kid!
[04:14] Feuille
    You okay?
[04:16] Hubarek Retainer
    Lady Licorice!
[04:17] Kadlecek Retainer
    I'm so glad you're safe!
[04:21] Feuille
    Retainers from the houses
    of Kadlecek and Hubarek.
[04:24] Hubarek Retainer
    Lady Licorice!
[04:29] Hubarek Retainer
    Were you harmed?
[04:30] Licorice
    No... I'm fine.
[04:32] Casserole
    Return her to her father with all due haste.
[04:35] Hubarek Retainer
    Sir!
[04:37] Hubarek Retainer
    We'll take our leave now, then.
[04:46] Pas
    Who turned out to be behind it?
[04:48] Feuille
    We arrested a man named Duke Luhaingo Armire.
[04:53] Feuille
    He was trying to slip out the back way.
[04:57] Casserole
    House Armire, eh?
[04:59] Casserole
    During the war twenty years ago,
[05:01] Casserole
    they were investigated and
    stripped of title, I believe.
[05:03] Feuille
    Yes.
[05:04] Feuille
    They were suspected of passing
    information to the enemy.
[05:09] Casserole
    You understand, Pas?
[05:11] Casserole
    The actions of a suzerain lord can
    alter the destiny of a whole family.
[05:18] Pas
    Yes, sir.
[05:19] Kadlecek Retainer
    Lord Morteln!
[05:21] Kadlecek Retainer
    His Grace is in his estate,
    awaiting details of the incident.
[05:26] Kadlecek Retainer
    Will you accompany us in this carriage?
[05:31] Casserole
    Of course!
[05:32] Casserole
    We need to take care of the stragglers.
[05:35] Casserole
    Feuille, you handle the report!
[05:37] Feuille
    Hey!
[05:38] Pas
    Since the opponent used magic to escape,
    we're the only ones who can pursue!
[05:43] Casserole
    Yes!
[05:43] Casserole
    Let's go, Pas!
[05:44] Pas
    Right!
[05:46] Feuille
    Hang on a minute!
[05:50] Casserole
    Now, where do you think that man got off to?
[05:58] Casserole
    What's wrong?
[06:00] Pas
    How could he possibly have escaped
    under those circumstances?
[06:04] Pas
    When I approached the hole...
[06:07] Pas
    I didn't sense much of the power
    from his spell's activation.
[06:13] Casserole
    You're suggesting he didn't
    have much power remaining?
[06:19] Pas
    Even if he dug a hole to escape,
[06:21] Pas
    he shouldn't have had enough power to go far.
[06:25] Pas
    We have our forces surrounding the area.
[06:28] Pas
    Could he really get away without being seen?
[06:38] Pas
    If you can't escape, but need a
    way out of your predicament...
[06:43] Strudel
    Make it look like
    you've escaped, bide your time,
[06:47] Strudel
    then escape at your leisure
    once the enemy withdraws.
[06:52] Strudel
    That's how you do it.
[06:55] Strudel
    Magnificent. You saw through everything.
[06:59] Strudel
    Looks like I'll have to go
    through the two of you, then.
[07:06] Pas
    I'll settle things with this ruffian.
[07:11] Strudel
    Let's see if you can back that up.
[07:15] Pas
    My name is Pastry Mille Morteln.
[07:18] Pas
    May I ask yours?
[07:21] Strudle
    I abandoned my family name ages ago.
[07:25] Strudle
    You can just call me Strudel.
[07:28] Strudle
    Convenient that this kid
    wants a one-on-one duel.
[07:33] Strudle
    He might be a bit crafty,
    but he's still a kid.
[07:38] Strudle
    If I can pin him down and take him hostage,
[07:40] Strudle
    I might get myself a way out of this!
[07:46] Strudle
    Nothing personal, brat!
[07:49] Casserole
    Not good! His form is perfect!
[07:54] Strudel
    What?!
[08:04] Strudel
    What the hell... trick... did you...
[08:08] Pas
    A word of warning.
[08:10] Pas
    On the battlefield, you must
    never lose sight of your weapon.
[08:17] Casserole
    Well done, Pas.
[08:25] Casserole
    This sword. Did you...
[08:28] Pas
    Yes.
[08:33] Pas
    Replicate!
[08:38] Casserole
    I see.
[08:39] Casserole
    Give your opponent a broken sword
    and provoke them into a duel...
[08:44] Casserole
    You had me scared to death.
[08:46] Casserole
    You sneaky rascal.
[08:48] Pas
    I'd really prefer "clever"...
[08:52] Pas
    Although... at this rate...
[08:57] Pas
    Am I ever going to be able
    to create my land of sweets?
SIGN    1 Month Later
[09:10] Pas
    One month later,
[09:12] Pas
    the official engagement
    party between Lord Squale
[09:14] Pas
    and Lady Petra was held at the royal castle.
[09:22] Petra
    Thank you for coming.
[09:22] Pas
    Lady Petra looks so happy!
[09:25] Casserole
    This is quite an event for something
     that was privately announced...
[09:29] Kadlecek
    Oh, Lord Morteln!
[09:33] Kadlecek
    So this is where you were.
[09:35] Casserole
    Duke Kadlecek!
[09:37] Casserole
    Congratulations on the engagement.
[09:39] Casserole
    I do not have the words to
    thank you for the invitation.
[09:42] Kadlecek
    Now, now...
[09:43] Kadlecek
    I should be thanking you.
[09:45] Kadlecek
    You're the reason we got through
    that trouble with no harm done.
[09:50] Kadlecek
    Lord Pastry...
[09:52] Kadlecek
    You have my gratitude for protecting
    my granddaughter-in-law, Lady Licorice.
[09:58] Pas
    I did no more than a knight's duty.
[10:01] Casserole
    Lord Squale cuts a fine figure.
[10:03] Kadlecek
    Oh, he's so nervous, he's petrified.
[10:07] Kadlecek
    Not only is he being treated as a showpiece,
[10:10] Kadlecek
    he's also sitting next to his future bride,
    with whom he fell in love at first sight.
[10:14] Pas
    Lord Squale seems quite
    fine to me. Vivacious, even.
[10:19] Kadlecek
    I was hoping the engagement
    might mature him somewhat...
[10:25] Kadlecek
    But if a man with your military
    accomplishments says he looks fine,
[10:29] Kadlecek
    perhaps I should reevaluate
    that grandson of mine.
[10:32] Kadlecek
    I thank you, Lord Pastry.
[10:35] Pas
    I'm honored.
[10:38] Pas
    By the way, Your Grace...
[10:41] Pas
    There's something I'd like to
    confirm as regards this event.
[10:45] Kadlecek
    Oh?
[10:46] Pas
    The recent kidnapping...
[10:48] Pas
    I've noticed a few curious aspects to it...
[10:52] Kadlecek
    Curious aspects?
[10:53] Pas
    Yes.
[10:54] Pas
    Between the bandit's skill and his
    meticulousness in securing multiple strongholds,
[10:59] Pas
    he seemed extremely prepared.
[11:02] Pas
    Yet he made the fundamental and fatal
    mistake of kidnapping the wrong target.
[11:08] Pas
    Could this have been the result of being fed
[11:13] Pas
    misleading information regarding Lady Petra?
[11:17] Pas
    And a fallen noble having
    the connections to prepare
[11:20] Pas
    multiple bases of operations
    within the royal capital...
[11:24] Pas
    Is such a thing really plausible?
[11:26] Pas
    I can't escape the feeling
    that it doesn't add up.
[11:32] Pas
    Incidentally, one thing that might explain it
[11:36] Pas
    would be if there were a third party at work
[11:39] Pas
    with their own objective in mind.
[11:42] Kadlecek
    A third party?
[11:43] Pas
    A third party to release
    the misleading information,
[11:45] Pas
    prepare connections in a roundabout way,
[11:47] Pas
    and overlook the Armire
    at large in the capital.
[11:53] Kadlecek
    Oh? And who might the third party be?
[11:57] Pas
    Surely, the figure with the most
    to gain from what happened.
[12:02] Kadlecek
    Gain?
[12:03] Pas
    If they've earned House Armire's ire,
[12:07] Pas
    it must be someone who gained
    power after their fall.
[12:12] Pas
    The someone would want to use
    the incident to cut off any
[12:16] Pas
    remaining chance of the resentful
    House Armire's resurrection...
[12:19] Kadlecek
    Enough!
[12:23] Kadlecek
    Are you suggesting that the "someone" is me?
[12:31] Pas
    Certainly not, Your Grace.
[12:33] Pas
    I simply have a wild imagination.
[12:35] Pas
    Children love their tall tales, as you know.
[12:40] Kadlecek
    I took him for a mere whelp...
[12:43] Kadlecek
    But this is absurd.
[12:44] Kadlecek
    The very definition of biting
    the hand that feeds you!
[12:48] Casserole
    Pas...
[12:54] Pas
    Now, Your Grace.
[12:56] Pas
    Regarding an entirely separate matter...
[12:59] Pas
    As you may know,
[13:01] Pas
    our fief is a land with few crops to harvest.
[13:05] Pas
    I have a few measures I'd like to take,
[13:07] Pas
    but lacking the proper groundwork...
[13:10] Kadlecek
    Money, you mean?
[13:12] Pas
    I would be truly pleased if a man
    possessed of Your Grace's wisdom
[13:17] Pas
    would have sympathy for our
    situation and, perhaps, offer aid.
[13:21] Kadlecek
    You never miss a trick, do you?
[13:24] Kadlecek
    And... if I were to say such
    aid were beyond my abilities?
[13:30] Pas
    I might suffer an errant slip of the tongue.
[13:34] Kadlecek
    What?!
[13:35] Pas
    You see the margrave over there?
[13:39] Pas
    We were about to go pay him our regards.
[13:43] Pas
    If I were, with a child's carelessness,
    to let slip my earlier tall tale—
[13:48] Kadlecek
    Fine! I surrender.
[13:51] Kadlecek
    I'll provide all the aid you require.
[13:57] Pas
    You honor me, my lord.
[13:59] Kadlecek
    You got the better of me.
[14:02] Kadlecek
    Now I'm going to say something,
    but I'm speaking to myself.
[14:05] Pas
    My lord?
[14:07] Kadlecek
    As I'm speaking to myself,
    I'll kindly ask that you ignore it.
[14:12] Kadlecek
    I perceived a chance to destroy an
    opposing faction in one fell swoop.
[14:17] Kadlecek
    I gave the order to leak information
    that would encourage a kidnapping.
[14:22] Kadlecek
    However...
[14:24] Kadlecek
    My aim was most certainly not to
    put my darling grandson's fiancee,
[14:29] Kadlecek
    or her younger sister, in danger.
[14:32] Kadlecek
    I'll admit that I arranged the entire affair.
[14:37] Kadlecek
    And no matter what excuse I might make,
[14:39] Kadlecek
    the truth is that I did put
    Lady Licorice in danger.
[14:42] Kadlecek
    I humbly acknowledge the accusations,
[14:44] Kadlecek
    and will henceforth reflect on my conduct.
[14:47] Kadlecek
    I appreciate the warning.
[14:49] Kadlecek
    However...
[14:50] Kadlecek
    To extort me like this, so brazenly,
    suggests tremendous cunning.
[14:54] Pas
    You are speaking to yourself still, right?
[14:56] Kadlecek
    Of course I was!
[14:58] Hubarek
    Lord Morteln!
[15:00] Casserole
    Lord Hubarek. We were
    about to pay our respects.
[15:03] Hubarek
    Lord Casserole!
[15:04] Hubarek
    Oh! Your son is here as well!
[15:07] Hubarek
    I must offer my gratitude
    to Lord Pastry as well.
[15:11] Hubarek
    Once more, I thank you.
[15:12] Pas
    I-I'm honored...
[15:14] Hubarek
    You've undergone your
    Sanctification Ceremony already, have you not?
[15:19] Pas
    Y-Yes.
[15:21] Pas
    Is he going to bring me
    some moneymaking scheme?
[15:24] Hubarek
    Well, a man of your abilities might find
    himself with many admirers very soon.
[15:30] Hubarek
    Of course, it's never too
    early to settle down!
[15:35] Pas
    R-Right...
[15:37] Hubarek
    Do you have your heart
    set on anyone just yet?
[15:41] Pas
    Well... I'm still young, after all.
[15:44] Hubarek
    So if you do find the right person,
[15:47] Hubarek
    you will settle down in the future, yes?
[15:51] Casserole
    Pa--
[15:51] Pas
    I'm afraid I haven't met the
    right person yet, though.
[15:56] Hubarek
    What would you think of my daughter, then?
[16:02] Casserole
    Oh, hell.
[16:05] Pas
    B-But... Lady Petra is recently engaged...
[16:10] Hubarek
    Don't be ridiculous.
[16:12] Hubarek
    It's not only Petra who recently came of age.
[16:16] Hubarek
    I refer to Licorice.
[16:19] Pas
    L-Lady Licorice?
[16:22] Hubarek
    She seems to find the idea quite pleasing.
[16:25] Pas
    Er... well... I...
[16:29] Pas
    I'm certainly honored, but...
[16:31] Pas
    Surely I'm unworthy.
[16:34] Pas
    Surely Lady Licorice would
    prefer a better match...
[16:39] Hubarek
    You said earlier you'd settle
    down with the right person...
[16:43] Hubarek
    Does this mean you find my
    daughter deficient in some way?
[16:49] Pas
    Oh, of course not...
[16:51] Pas
    This is so bad.
[16:52] Kadlecek
    Look at him squirm!
[16:54] Pas
    I c-certainly meant nothing of the kind...
[16:57] Hubarek
    You would accept my daughter, then?
[17:02] Pas
    Um... well? What the...
[17:06] Hubarek
    Are we agreed, then?
[17:08] Pas
    W-Well... I can't deny that Lady
    Licorice a splendid woman, but...
[17:16] Hubarek
    Do you agree as well, Lord Casserole?
[17:19] Casserole
    He's half-threatening us.
[17:23] Casserole
    Our family would be honored.
[17:25] Pas
    Father?!
[17:28] Hubarek
    It's settled, then!
[17:31] Hubarek
    Assemble the household!
[17:34] Attendant
    Milord!
[17:34] Kadlecek
    Gather the Kadleceks as well, then!
[17:37] Kadlecek
    Hey! Staff!
[17:44] Squale
    Lord Pastry...
[17:46] Petra
    With Licorice?
[17:47] Noble 1
    The heir to the Fief of
    Morteln is engaged already!
[17:51] Noble 2
    Send the riders to all lands at once!
[17:54] Noble 3
    How wonderful! He saved
    Lady Licorice himself, after all!
[17:59] Pas
    This is weird...
[18:01] Pas
    I feel like I set out to
    make some choux a la creme,
[18:04] Pas
    but ended up making a giant wedding cake...
[18:07] Noble 4
    And there she is now!
[18:10] Pas
    What's that smell?
[18:17] Licorice
    Lord Pastry...
[18:18] Licorice
    I truly must thank you for
    saving me the other day.
[18:23] Licorice
    Forgive me for not saying so earlier...
[18:27] Noble 1; 2; 3
    She's beautiful!
[18:28] Pas
    Was she always this charming?
[18:31] Hubarek
    Attention, all in attendance!
[18:34] Hubarek
    I, Donachel Mille Hubarek,
[18:37] Hubarek
    have, on this day, found partners
    for my two daughters!
[18:42] Hubarek
    One, Lord Squale Kadlecek!
[18:46] Hubarek
    The other, Lord Pastry Morteln!
[18:53] Hubarek
    Which means House Kadlecek takes as a
    grandchild not only these beautiful girls,
[18:58] Hubarek
    but the son of that great
    hero, Lord Casserole!
[19:02] Hubarek
    A toast to this auspicious day!
[19:05] All
    A toast!
[19:13] Squale
    Lord Pas!
[19:15] Squale
    We're to be brothers-in-law.
[19:23] Squale
    Isn't it wonderful?
[19:26] Petra
    I'm happy, too.
[19:28] Pas
    Lord Squale... Lady Petra...
[19:32] Squale
    Feel free to call me "Elder Brother"!
[19:34] Petra
    And I... you may call "Elder Sister."
[19:36] Pas
    That's... a little soon for me...
[19:53] Pas
    It happened so quickly, it doesn't feel real.
[19:57] Licorice
    Lord Pastry?
[19:59] Pas
    Oh... Lady Licorice.
[20:02] Licorice
    I...
[20:04] Pas
    What is it?
[20:06] Licorice
    Am I... disappointing to you?
[20:13] Pas
    Not at all.
[20:16] Pas
    I'm very happy to have you!
[20:18] Licorice
    A-As am I... I'm just delighted!
[20:22] Licorice
    Please take care of me.
[20:26] Pas
    I ask the same.
[20:28] Licorice
    So... I...
[20:30] Licorice
    I tried to make handmade sweets
    based on what you gave us.
[20:35] Pas
    What I gave you?
[20:42] Pas
    Oh, cookies!
[20:45] Pas
    Was that the lovely aroma I smelled?
[20:48] Licorice
    Please, help yourself!
[20:51] Pas
    I'd love to!
[20:54] Pas
    A beautiful golden brown!
[20:57] Pas
    She got the baking time and the
    resting of the dough just right.
[21:03] Pas
    And I think she used high-quality flour!
[21:06] Pas
    It will have to be...
[21:17] Pas
    This is...
[21:19] Pas
    pretty salty.
[21:24] Licorice
    Um... so...
[21:27] Pas
    It's... delicious!
[21:28] Licorice
    Really?!
[21:30] Licorice
    Oh, are they really?
[21:33] Licorice
    I'm so glad.
[21:40] Pas
    I'll protect her smile
    for the rest of my life.
[21:44] Pas
    No matter what hardship
    befalls us, I'll work hard.
[21:48] Pas
    With her by my side, I know I can make it...
[21:49] Pas
    May I have another?
[21:50] Licorice
    Of course!
[21:53] Pas
    This world's very own land of sweets.
[22:02] Pas
    Good and salty...

[00:02] Casserole
    Agnes.
[00:04] Casserole
    I need you to stay calm and hear me out.
[00:06] Agnes
    Dear... you look so pale.
[00:09] Agnes
    Is something the matter?
[00:12] Casserole
    Y-Yes.
[00:14] Agnes
    Oh, I know!
[00:16] Agnes
    You made another extravagant purchase, right?
[00:19] Agnes
    Listen here, now.
[00:20] Agnes
    I would never get mad
    over something like that!
[00:24] Agnes
    All right. What is it?
[00:26] Casserole
    I... I'm so sorry.
[00:29] Agnes
    Really, what is it?
[00:31] Casserole
    I have a new girl in my life!
[00:34] Agnes
    Huh?
[00:38] Casserole
    Agnes...
[00:40] Agnes
    I... I suppose it's not
    such an unusual story.
[00:45] Agnes
    I am a bit shocked, though.
[00:49] Casserole
    I didn't mean for it to happen.
[00:52] Casserole
    I simply became overwhelmed.
[00:55] Agnes
    W-Well... tell me more about her.
[00:59] Casserole
    Of course.
[01:00] Casserole
    She's beautiful, and from
    a high-ranking family.
[01:06] Agnes
    I see. Sh-She's very charming, then?
[01:09] Casserole
    And she's a twin!
[01:13] Agnes
    Casserole!
[01:14] Casserole
    I-I'm sorry!
[01:15] Casserole
    I should have gotten
    permission from you first!
[01:17] Agnes
    And you really think I'd have allowed it?!
[01:21] Casserole
    Well, Pas agreed to it,
[01:23] Casserole
    and I think she's more than
    an acceptable match for him...
[01:28] Agnes
    Pas agreed?
[01:30] Agnes
    What?
[01:30] Agnes
    A match... for him?
[01:33] Casserole
    What did you think I was talking about?
[01:36] Agnes
    Well... I thought... you were cheating.
[01:39] Pas
    Father, how is Mother taking it?
[01:44] Casserole
    She'll need some time.
[01:45] Pas
    She really was shocked, then?
[01:48] Casserole
    I expect it to last for a month.
[01:52] Agnes
    Another daughter... I can't wait!
[01:58] Narrator
    This is the tale of a genius
    patissier who died before his time,
[02:03] Narrator
    and was reincarnated as the son
    of a poor noble in another world
[02:07] Narrator
    to pursue a world full
    of desserts and smiles.
[02:11] Narrator
    It's a tale that is at once cold
    and unsparing, and syrupy sweet.
[02:17] Narrator
    His dream is to create this
    world's very own land of sweets!
SIGN    County of Retes Retesvale
[03:57] Coaton
    Count Retes! Your Ladyship!
SIGN    Honey for Sweets, and a
    Reservoir for the Villages
[04:02] Retes
    So much shouting. What's the meaning of this?
[04:04] Coaton
    The heir to House Morteln is engaged!
[04:09] Coaton
    He's been matched with a
    daughter of Margrave Hubarek!
[04:12] Retes
    What was that?!
[04:14] Retes
    That impoverished backwater knight,
[04:15] Retes
    joined to a prestigious noble house?!
[04:17] Retes
    Ow!
[04:20] Retes
    Ugh! This will leave a stain.
[04:24] Coaton
    Ahem. Do forgive me.
[04:28] Retes
    So? Which girl from House Hubarek?
[04:32] Coaton
    His fourth daughter, Licorice Mille Hubarek.
[04:35] Coaton
    Twin sister to Petra, who was recently
    engaged to the grandson of Duke Kadlecek.
[04:41] Retes
    The one involved in the kidnapping, you mean?
[04:44] Coaton
    Yes.
[04:45] Coaton
    An engagement to prove her chastity
    in the wake of the kidnapping—
[04:50] Coaton
    At least, such are the
    vulgar rumors being spread.
[04:55] Coaton
    Is it possible the Hubareks
    intend to wait a few years
[05:00] Coaton
    until memory of the incident has faded,
[05:02] Coaton
    and dissolve the engagement then?
[05:06] Retes
    I don't think so.
[05:09] Retes
    I wonder if Hubarek's true objective is to
    set others at ease regarding their family.
[05:15] Coaton
    Of course!
[05:17] Coaton
    The joining with the house
    of Margrave Kadlecek
[05:20] Coaton
    has significantly increased
    House Hubarek's influence.
[05:24] Retes
    So to go in the opposite direction, and bind
    their house to minor one like Morteln...
[05:29] Coaton
    He's making the case that he's not trying
    to amass power through marriage politics?
[05:36] Retes
    It's the kind of thing that
    old fox might think of.
[05:40] Retes
    And there's one more thing.
[05:41] Retes
    He believes the Fief of Morteln has the
    potential to grow into a bountiful one,
[05:47] Retes
    on par with my own.
[05:48] Coaton
    Surely impossible!
[05:50] Retes
    Can you be so sure?
[05:52] Retes
    When the land was first granted
    to him twenty years ago,
[05:56] Retes
    it was effectively a wasteland.
[05:58] Retes
    I've heard it took them several years
    to produce their first harvest.
[06:02] Retes
    But over the past three years,
    they reduced their wheat yield,
[06:06] Retes
    and began to cultivate beans.
[06:08] Retes
    The result?
[06:09] Retes
    Using the beans as fertilizer
    to nourish the soil,
[06:13] Retes
    they've improved their
    subsequent wheat harvests.
[06:15] Coaton
    That's true!
[06:17] Retes
    And whose idea was that, now?
[06:20] Retes
    Could it not have been the suggestion
    of that silver-haired child?
[06:23] Coaton
    Impossible! He's all of nine years old!
[06:27] Retes
    Have you forgotten when they came to
    negotiate compensation for the bandits?
[06:33] Retes
    The one conducting the negotiations
    was not Lord Morteln,
[06:38] Retes
    but his child.
[06:41] Retes
    And he completely got the better of me.
[06:45] Retes
    That sly old fox has surely
    noticed the boy's potential.
[06:51] Retes
    I've been outmaneuvered.
SIGN    Village of Le Milotte, Fief of Morteln
[07:03] Pas
    There we go!
[07:04] Decoco
    All right, Lord Pas! That should be it!
[07:06] Pas
    Thank you so much!
[07:08] Marc
    Pas, what is all this stuff?
[07:10] Lumi
    Food?
[07:12] Pas
    The aid I asked Duke Kadlecek
    and Lord Squale for has arrived!
[07:18] Pas
    During the engagement announcement,
    I got them to pledge their support!
[07:27] Lumi
    What's this thing?
[07:28] Marc
    A tree?
[07:29] Pas
    It's a black locust sapling.
[07:31] Pas
    Also known as pseudoacacia.
[07:34] Lumi
    Can we eat it?
[07:36] Pas
    I'm afraid not.
[07:37] Lumi
    Can you make black locust pie out of it?
[07:40] Pas
    I'm afraid not.
[07:41] Pas
    If I did, you couldn't eat it.
[07:42] Lumi
    Aw...
[07:45] Pas
    However...
[07:46] Lumi
    However?
[07:47] Pas
    These trees are easy to grow in poor soil,
[07:50] Pas
    and they provide nectar!
[07:51] Marc
    Nectar?
[07:54] Pas
    Nectar.
[07:55] Pas
    It means they can help us make honey!
[07:58] Marc/Lumi
    Honey?!
[08:00] Marc
    Honey. The sweet stuff!
[08:02] Pas
    Yes, the sweet stuff!
[08:04] Pas
    It's so indispensable to the creation
    of sweets across time and location,
[08:08] Pas
    any place with a history of
    sweets always involves honey!
[08:14] Rumi
    We'll raise these trees!
[08:15] Marc
    We'll collect honey!
[08:17] Marc/Lumi
    We'll be able to eat sweets!
[08:19] Pas
    Yes, correct!
[08:20] Marc/Lumi
    Hooray!
[08:22] Pas
    But there are issues with raising them here.
[08:26] Marc
    Oh, yeah?
[08:27] Lumi
    Oh, I know!
[08:29] Lumi
    Land and water, right?
[08:30] Pas
    Right! Excellent deduction!
[08:34] Lumi
    My grandpa taught me all about it.
[08:36] Pas
    The Fief of Morteln gets little rainfall.
[08:40] Pas
    Any trees we plant frequently
    die before they're fully grown.
[08:43] Marc
    How are we gonna get 'em water, then?
[08:46] Pas
    With a shifting of gears.
[08:48] Marc
    "A shifting of gears"?
[08:50] Lumi
    Is that edible?
[08:52] Pas
    Certainly not!
[08:54] Pas
    It means we change our approach.
[08:57] Pas
    There are sweets created from
    a shifting of gears as well.
[09:01] Lumi
    So, how do we go about that?
[09:04] Pas
    Rather than imitating lands
    with plentiful rainfall,
[09:07] Pas
    we'll grow them with a method
    common to arid regions.
[09:12] Marc
    What method is that?
[09:15] Pas
    We'll make a reservoir!
[09:18] Marc
    A reservoir?
[09:19] Lumi
    Can we—
[09:20] Pas
    —eat it? No.
[09:22] Pas
    It's a place where water collects.
[09:24] Pas
    One big enough to last us all year
    round, even the dry early spring!
[09:29] Pas
    For that, I chose this
    relatively undeveloped land!
[09:35] Feuille
    After expenses, profits on the sale of
    textiles comes to eight silver coins.
[09:41] Feuille
    Wheat comes to fourteen
    silvers and five coppers.
[09:46] Feuille
    And with the emergency aid earlier...
[09:50] Feuille
    That's four and three-eighths gold profit.
[09:53] Feuille
    This concludes last year's earnings report!
[09:55] Feuille
    Congratulations!
[09:57] Feuille
    Our efforts have finally
    earned us a full-year profit!
[10:02] Casserole
    At last. At last, we made it.
[10:06] Feuille
    It was all pretty touch and go
    when we first came here, right?
[10:12] Casserole
    Twenty years...
[10:15] Casserole
    It's had its ups and downs,
[10:17] Casserole
    but our efforts were finally rewarded.
[10:21] Feuille
    And the kid played a huge role in that.
[10:24] Casserole
    Indeed.
[10:26] Casserole
    Truly, my son is our savior, sent by God!
[10:29] Feuille
    I wasn't gonna go that far...
[10:32] Feuille
    Sheesh, what a proud papa...
[10:35] Casserole
    Feuille...
[10:37] Casserole
    You, Cointreau, and Glacage
    stayed with me all this time.
[10:43] Casserole
    I'm so grateful.
[10:44] Feuille
    Oh, give me a break.
[10:46] Feuille
    I made the decision to stick with
    you a long time ago, right, boss?
[10:51] Feuille
    Now, there are two more items to report...
[10:55] Feuille
    Good news and bad news.
    Which do you want first?
[10:58] Casserole
    Let me see...
[11:00] Casserole
    Let's start with the good.
[11:02] Casserole
    I want to maintain this
    elation for as long as I can.
[11:06] Feuille
    Figured you'd say that.
[11:09] Feuille
    Our new village, Le Milotte, has
    gathered over forty settler applicants.
[11:16] Casserole
    Wow, forty?
[11:18] Feuille
    Most are refugees,
[11:21] Feuille
    left with nowhere to go after their
    farms were ravaged by bandits.
[11:26] Casserole
    If we've got forty, we'll want to
    speed up getting the village in shape.
[11:31] Feuille
    Well, we got our new infusion of workers.
[11:33] Feuille
    I think we'll figure it out.
[11:35] Casserole
    How are those newcomers doing, anyway?
[11:37] Feuille
    The five we hired with the reward we
    received for handling the Licorice kidnapping?
[11:43] Feuille
    Glacage is showing them the ropes.
[11:46] Casserole
    I see.
[11:47] Casserole
    If having more people means the land grows
    more prosperous, I'll have no complaints.
[11:53] Casserole
    So? What's the bad news?
[11:56] Feuille
    This one's big.
[11:58] Feuille
    I'm told the kid's embarked on a new venture.
[12:04] Feuille
    I got a report that he headed out to Le
    Milotte with just his little friends.
[12:10] Casserole
    That mischief-maker!
[12:12] Casserole
    Can't he ever sit still?!
[12:16] Casserole
    Feuille! We're going!
[12:18] Feuille
    Ready when you are!
[12:36] Pas
    All right...
[12:41] Pas
    Excavate!
[12:58] Lumi
    What did you do?!
[13:00] Marc
    That's awesome!
[13:02] Pas
    Amazing.
[13:04] Pas
    I'm so glad I secretly
    replicated Strudel's magic!
[13:10] Marc
    Pas! That was awesome!
[13:13] Lumi
    That was magic, right?!
[13:18] Both
    Pas?
[13:21] Pas
    This'll work! I can use this!
[13:24] Pas
    This spell's way more useful than I expected!
[13:29] Pas
    This is the definition of fantastic, right?!
[13:32] Pas
    It'll work! It'll work! It'll work!
[13:35] Lumi
    He's snapped.
[13:37] Marc
    Our next suzerain lord has
    totally snapped, yeah.
[13:40] Pas
    All right, moving on!
[13:43] Pas
    Excavate!
[13:46] Pas
    Excavate!
[13:49] Pas
    Excavate!
[13:50] Pas
    Excavate! Excavate! Excavate! Excavate!
[14:00] Pas
    That should do it!
[14:02] Lumi
    Unbelievable!
[14:03] Marc
    Awesome! He did all this himself!
[14:07] Marc
    And the floor and walls
    are packed down hard...
[14:12] Pas
    That's what makes it a reservoir!
[14:14] Pas
    We'll plant the saplings all around it.
[14:18] Pas
    It should start raining soon,
[14:21] Pas
    so it'll collect water then.
[14:23] Pas
    As the trees grow, they'll
    act as reservoirs themselves,
[14:30] Pas
    leading to a synergistic effect!
[14:35] Pas
    It's all going perfectly!
[14:36] Pas
    I could use that excavation spell to
    propel me right to my land of sweets!
[14:42] Pas
    No, no! Don't think like that!
[14:44] Pas
    In sweets-making, proper process
    and time is of greatest importance.
[14:48] Marc
    Pas!
[14:49] Pas
    What now?
[14:50] Pas
    I'm envisioning a beautiful
    scene beneath my closed eyes.
[14:55] Lumi
    Well... you might wanna open those eyes.
[14:59] Pas
    Huh? What good will opening my eyes...
[15:08] Casserole
    Pas...
[15:13] Pas
    F-Father...
[15:16] Casserole
    Th-This is...
[15:19] Feuille
    I thought I'd heard the sound
    of a massive landslide, but...
[15:24] Feuille
    This is seriously...
[15:27] Pas
    I may have overdone it.
[15:30] Casserole
    Over... done... it?
[15:33] Pas
    Tee-hee.
[15:36] Casserole
    My fool of a son!
[15:43] Marc
    That hurt!
[15:45] Lumi
    Why us too?!
[15:48] Coaton
    Your Ladyship. Er...
[15:54] Coaton
    Shall I... freshen up your tea?
[15:58] Coaton
    Surely you're not still worried
    about House Morteln's connections?
[16:03] Coaton
    Are you really that concerned
    over the Morteln heir?
[16:12] Retes
    If I had a daughter of my own,
[16:14] Retes
    I'd have made the same
    decision that old fox did.
[16:19] Coaton
    Would you?
[16:21] Retes
    But what gets under my skin most of all
[16:23] Retes
    is that Kadlecek and Hubarek...
[16:25] Retes
    Those two easterners ganged
    up to go over my head
[16:28] Retes
    and start meddlingin affairs of the south!
[16:31] Retes
    Don't they know they should talk to me
[16:32] Retes
    before they start poking
    their noses in my business?!
[16:38] Retes
    It's gone lukewarm!
[16:39] Coaton
    Perhaps you should marry him yourself?
[16:44] Coaton
    F-Forgive me.
[16:46] Coaton
    It was in jest.
[16:48] Retes
    If I were ten years younger,
    or he were ten years older,
[16:53] Retes
    I might have tried it, though.
[16:57] Retes
    There must be some way to
    take him under my wing.
[17:01] Coaton
    Shall I refresh your tea?
SIGN    She took me seriously?
[17:11] Retes
    Perhaps that's what I'll try.
[17:21] Cointreau
    It's an excellent irrigation channel.
[17:24] Villager 2
    Isn't it wonderful?
[17:25] Villager 2
    We're so glad to have it!
[17:27] Villager 3
    I'm told Lord Pas created three ponds!
[17:31] Child 1
    Isn't that amazing?
[17:33] Child 1
    He made three in less than a month!
[17:35] Child 2
    Wouldn't it normally take
    at least a month each?
[17:39] Cointreau
    The amazing part was thinking of
    a way to get water without wells
[17:44] Cointreau
    by digging a reservoir for
    irrigation channels...
[17:48] Pas
    Hey!
[17:51] Child 1
    It's Lord Pas!
[17:53] Pas
    How does it look?
[17:54] Cointreau
    It's looking great, Lord Pas.
[17:57] Pas
    I'm so glad!
[17:59] Pas
    We got all the saplings planted, too.
[18:01] Pas
    And once we get honey...
[18:03] Lumi
    We can make sweets!
[18:05] Marc
    We can eat!
[18:07] Pas
    Yes, correct!
[18:09] Josephine
    Pas!
[18:11] Pas
    Josie?
[18:13] Josephine
    A letter arrived.
[18:15] Josephine
    It's for you!
[18:17] Pas
    A letter?
[18:18] Josephine
    It seemed fairly urgent, so I brought it by.
[18:23] Glacage
    I said I'd bring it, but...
[18:26] Josie
    It could be from your cute fiancée!
[18:29] Josie
    So as your sister, I took responsibility.
[18:31] Pas
    Wh-What are you talking about?!
[18:37] Pas
    Th-This is...
[18:42] Josie
    From your fiancée after all?
[18:44] Pas
    From Count Retes.
[18:46] Cointreau
    Count Retes?
[18:48] Glacage
    What in the world?
[18:50] Pas
    It's an invitation to a tea tasting ceremony.
[18:54] Pas
    "I was hoping to receive..."
[18:58] Pas & Retes
    "...your opinion on our new teas."
[19:01] Retes
    "I'll be waiting."
[19:05] Pas
    The count asked for me, specifically?
[19:08] Pas
    She's up to something.
[19:13] Feuille
    Once that's over, we'll have to figure
    out how to manage the grain storage.
SIGN    New Retainer Nicolo Nono
[19:18] Nicolo
    Why's there so much to do?!
[19:22] Feuille
    Don't complain.
[19:24] Nicolo
    I thought I'd be able to take
    it easy out here in the sticks!
[19:28] Feuille
    I feel you, okay?
[19:30] Feuille
    It's that little demon who's
    got us busy as hell here.
[19:36] Pas
    You misunderstand, Feuille.
[19:38] Feuille
    Kid!
[19:39] Pas
    Everything that happens in Morteln is
[19:41] Pas
    under the authority of my
    father, the liege lord.
[19:46] Pas
    In other words, it's my father
    who's the reason you're busy.
[19:50] Feuille
    And who, exactly, went over that
    authority's head to dig a reservoir?
[19:57] Pas
    As next liege lord, I was
    acting on his behalf.
[20:00] Feuille
    You've got a real smart mouth, you know?
[20:03] Pas
    Aw, shucks!
[20:04] Feuille
    That wasn't a compliment!
[20:06] Feuille
    If you've got complaints,
    direct them at this guy!
[20:08] Feuille
    Go on! Really tell him off!
[20:10] Nicolo
    R-Right...
[20:13] Pas
    By the way, is Father not here?
[20:17] Feuille
    He flew off. Business at the royal capital.
[20:20] Feuille
    He's not back yet.
[20:22] Pas
    Oh, really?
[20:24] Feuille
    Something you need to talk to him about?
[20:27] Pas
    The truth is, Count Retes invited
    me to a tea tasting ceremony.
[20:33] Feuille
    You specifically?
[20:35] Pas
    Yeah.
[20:37] Pas
    I'm pretty sure she's plotting something.
[20:39] Feuille
    That does seem likely.
[20:41] Pas
    I wanted to talk to Father about it, but...
[20:44] Casserole
    I know all about it.
[20:48] Casserole
    I heard in the royal capital.
[20:50] Casserole
    From someone other than Count Retes.
[20:52] Pas
    What could she be up to?
[20:55] Pas
    Does she want revenge for how I handled
    the bandit compensation negotiations?
[21:00] Casserole
    We can talk about that later.
[21:03] Casserole
    Pas, I've brought an important guest.
[21:06] Pas
    Guest?
[21:12] Pas
    Lady Licorice!
[21:16] Licorice
    Lord Pastry!
[21:18] Licorice
    Oh, I mean...
[21:20] Licorice
    Just Pastry.
[21:22] Licorice
    I've been hoping to see you again.
[21:24] Pas
    Oh, right.
[21:26] Pas
    Licorice, I'm happy to see you, too.
[21:29] Feuille
    A visit from the fiancée, eh?
[21:32] Feuille
    Lucky you.
[21:33] Casserole
    Not merely a visit.
[21:36] Licorice
    Circumstances necessitate that I
    impose on you for the time being.
[21:42] Pas
    Impose?
[21:43] Pas
    You mean... you'll be living here?

[00:06] Kid A
    Look how far it skipped!
[00:07] Lumi
    Big news!
[00:10] Lumi
    Big news! Really big news!
[00:13] Marc
    What's got you all worked up, Lumi?
[00:18] Lumi
    P-Pas's fiancée is here!
[00:20] Kid A/B
    Pas's fiancée?!
[00:22] Marc
    Oh, Dad told me about that!
[00:25] Marc
    He said she'll be staying here a while!
[00:27] Lumi
    A-And this fiancée...
[00:29] Lumi
    They say she's a sexy older
    woman with curves for days,
[00:33] Lumi
    and she's got Pas wrapped
    around her little finger!
[00:37] Licorice
    May I ask where we're going, Pastry?
[00:40] Pas
    A special place.
[00:42] Licorice
    Special?
[00:46] Pas
    Welcome to my workshop of dreams!
[00:50] Licorice
    My goodness!
[01:01] Narrator
    This is the tale of a genius patissier
    who died before his time,
[01:06] Narrator
    and was reincarnated as the son
    of a poor noble in another world
[01:10] Narrator
    to pursue a world full
    of desserts and smiles.
[01:14] Narrator
    It's a tale that is at once cold
    and unsparing, and syrupy sweet.
[01:20] Narrator
    His dream is to create this
    world's very own land of sweets!
SIGN    Sweet Reincarnation
SIGN    Margravate of Hubarek Hubarek Castle
[03:00] Attendant
    My lord, are you certain of this?
[03:03] Attendant
    I understand sending Lady Petra
    to study in the royal capital
SIGN    Sweet or Bitter? The Tea Tasting Ceremony
[03:06] Attendant
    was to strengthen the trust
    of the Duke's family, but...
[03:11] Attendant
    Why send Lady Licorice
    to the Fief of Morteln?
[03:14] Hubarek
    It annoys me to have that vixen
    scheming behind my back.
[03:20] Attendant
    You refer to Count Retes?
[03:23] Hubarek
    Yes.
[03:25] Hubarek
    It's clear that woman has designs
    on my future son-in-law.
[03:30] Attendant
    Agreed.
[03:31] Attendant
    A woman of her intelligence has surely
    grasped the Fief of Morteln's potential.
[03:37] Hubarek
    And all of a sudden, she invites
    him to a tea tasting ceremony.
[03:42] Hubarek
    It's all too transparent.
[03:44] Attendant
    I see.
[03:45] Attendant
    So you sent Lady Licorice to Morteln so that
    she would accompany him to the ceremony?
[03:52] Hubarek
    Even for that vixen,
[03:54] Hubarek
    it would prove difficult to dote on Lord
    Pastry too much with his fiancée along.
[03:59] Hubarek
    And of course,
[04:01] Hubarek
    there's the fatherly desire to move
    my daughter somewhere less dangerous.
[04:07] Attendant
    You think our neighbor, Lutoroute, might...
[04:10] Hubarek
    I doubt they'll take news of the
    engagement between the ducal house
[04:13] Hubarek
    and ours lying down.
[04:17] Licorice
    Incredible! I've never
    seen such a large kitchen!
[04:21] Licorice
    Um... may I ask what you're doing?
[04:25] Pas
    I'm making samples for a gift I'd like
    to bring to the tea tasting party.
[04:29] Licorice
    A gift? Cookies?
[04:32] Pas
    No, something new!
[04:36] Licorice
    Is that sugar?
[04:42] Licorice
    Those are bonkas, aren't they?
[04:44] Licorice
    And honey?
[04:46] Pas
    They're all absolutely
    precious here in Morteln.
[04:52] Pas
    You can only get bonkas in the royal capital.
[04:55] Pas
    I had to give up my spending money
[04:56] Pas
    for months in advance so
    Dad would let me have them.
[05:01] Licorice
    And what's this?
[05:02] Pas
    You'll find out when it's done!
[05:10] Licorice
    What a sweet aroma!
[05:17] Licorice
    Incredible! The aroma just fills the room!
[05:22] Licorice
    How mysterious!
[05:24] Licorice
    This is...
[05:25] Licorice
    It's definitely a dessert
    of some kind, isn't it?
[05:29] Pas
    Yes! Just wait and see!
[05:34] Pas
    Yes, good.
[05:36] Licorice
    Is it finished?
[05:38] Pas
    Oh, no.
[05:39] Pas
    This is the hardest part.
[05:47] Licorice
    Gracious!
[05:52] Pas
    There, there!
[05:54] Licorice
    Pastry looks so excited!
[05:58] Licorice
    They're so pretty and clear!
[06:01] Pas
    They're called hard candies.
[06:03] Licorice
    Hard candies?
[06:05] Licorice
    They look like glass!
[06:07] Pas
    And now, the finishing touches...
[06:14] Licorice
    A kitty!
[06:16] Pas
    That's right.
[06:17] Licorice
    Lovely!
[06:18] Pas
    And now...
[06:21] Licorice
    A doggy?
[06:22] Pas
    Right!
[06:24] Licorice
    A bunny?
[06:25] Pas
    Correct!
[06:26] Pas
    And now...
[06:29] Licorice
    Um...
[06:31] Licorice
    Some sort of bird?
[06:33] Pas
    More or less right.
[06:36] Pas
    Yeah, guess she wouldn't recognize a plane.
[06:41] Pas
    Now, how about this?
[06:46] Licorice
    Is that a flower?
[06:47] Pas
    Yes! A peony, actually.
[06:50] Pas
    The trick is to shape them after
    they've hardened just a bit.
[06:54] Pas
    If they're too soft, the design
    will collapse on itself.
[06:58] Pas
    It's crucial to get the timing just right.
[07:03] Licorice
    How mysterious!
[07:04] Licorice
    I've seen Pastry's face wear so
    many expressions so far...
[07:08] Licorice
    But this one's completely new!
[07:11] Licorice
    So gentle and innocent...
[07:13] Licorice
    Yet also so confident...
[07:16] Licorice
    He's giving his all to his sweets!
[07:25] Pas
    Licorice?
[07:28] Pas
    Is something the matter?
[07:29] Licorice
    Oh, no!
[07:32] Licorice
    I almost don't want to eat them...
[07:35] Pas
    But that would be a waste!
[07:39] Pas
    You have to eat them.
    That's what candy's for.
[07:42] Licorice
    That's true, but...
[07:45] Licorice
    They're so pretty, I just want to keep them!
[07:49] Pas
    You silly!
[07:54] Agnes
    It's infuriating!
[07:55] Agnes
    Why won't Pas be more aggressive with her?
[07:59] Josephine
    Look at the distance he's keeping!
[08:01] Josephine
    At least put an arm around her!
[08:04] Lumi
    Hush!
[08:05] Lumi
    My lady, Lady Josephine!
[08:07] Lumi
    Pas is going to hear you!
[08:09] Marc
    C'mon, let's knock it off.
[08:11] Agnes/Josephine
    There! That's what I mean!
[08:14] Agnes
    At least hold her hand!
[08:16] Josephine
    It's getting on my nerves!
[08:18] Lumi
    Damn. Bet he's making something tasty, too!
[08:23] Marc
    Good grief.
[08:25] Licorice
    What will you do with the bonkas?
[08:27] Pas
    I'll do this...
[08:30] Pas
    And coat it with the candy!
[08:35] Licorice
    They're beautiful, too!
[08:37] Josephine
    At least say, "Not one-tenth
    as beautiful as you!"
[08:42] Pas
    Would you like to try one?
[08:43] Licorice
    May I?
[08:45] Pas
    Of course!
[08:47] Pas
    They say it was started as a
    method of preserving fruit.
[08:53] Licorice
    I'll try it now.
[09:00] Licorice
    It's delicious!
[09:01] Pas
    Now get a bite of the bonka.
[09:06] Licorice
    Amazing!
[09:08] Pas
    Isn't the tart bonka flavor so refreshing
    after your tongue adjusts to the sweetness?
[09:14] Licorice
    Yes!
[09:16] Pas
    That delicate balance is this
    dessert's greatest appeal!
[09:20] Licorice
    It's delicious in a different way
    than just eating the bonka, too.
[09:25] Licorice
    How mysterious!
[09:27] Pas
    Now, then...
[09:34] Josephine
    That hurt!
[09:35] Josephine
    What are you doing, Pas?!
[09:37] Pas
    I should be asking why
    you all are here, Sister.
[09:40] Josephine
    What? Oh... I...
[09:42] Pas
    Not to mention you, Mother!
[09:45] Agnes
    I have business to attend to!
[09:47] Josephine
    Let's hurry, Mother!
[09:48] Agnes/Josephine
    Take care, Licorice!
[09:52] Lumi
    My lady!
[09:53] Marc
    Lady Josephine, wait!
[09:55] Pas
    Eavesdropping is not a nice habit.
[09:57] Marc
    They hung us out to dry!
[09:58] Lumi
    Damn it! You can't trust grown-ups!
[10:02] Pas
    I was going to let you two
    sample them too, but...
[10:06] Lumi
    Can we eat them?!
[10:07] Marc
    Heck yeah!
[10:10] Pas
    In light of your eavesdropping,
    I'm calling that off.
[10:17] Pas
    I'll give them to Father and Feuille instead.
[10:20] Marc/Lumi
    Aw, no!
[10:26] Feuille
    I hope it'll be all right...
[10:30] Casserole
    What will?
[10:31] Feuille
    The kid's bodyguard.
[10:33] Feuille
    You think a newbie like
    Nicolo can really handle it?
[10:37] Casserole
    The count's tea tastings draw young,
    marriageable nobles from all over the south.
[10:42] Casserole
    It's a social gathering for matchmaking.
[10:45] Casserole
    It's not a place for you or I.
[10:48] Feuille
    Still, this is Count
    Retes we're dealing with!
[10:52] Casserole
    Yeah, and Pas can handle himself.
[10:56] Casserole
    It's Licorice I'm more worried about.
[10:59] Feuille
    Caera will be with her,
[11:01] Feuille
    but she doesn't seem very comfortable
    with social situations.
[11:05] Feuille
    I hope that vixen won't try to humiliate her.
[11:10] Casserole
    I'm counting on you, Pas.
[11:23] Nicolo
    Look at all those people!
[11:25] Nicolo
    And the decorations in the great hall...
[11:29] Nicolo
    This is even more impressive
    than the royal capital!
[11:31] Licorice
    Yes... it truly is an impressive room.
[11:34] Caera
    Retesvale Castle is known as one of
    the greatest castles in the south.
[11:39] Caera
    It's also called "Pirate Castle"
    for its proximity to the ocean.
[11:44] Licorice
    Pirate Castle...
[11:47] Licorice
    Pastry?
[11:49] Pas
    Look at all those chandeliers...
[11:52] Pas
    How many casks of sugar could I buy
    with the money spent to buy them?
[11:58] Pas
    O-Oh, nothing!
[12:00] Caera
    Lord Pastry.
[12:01] Caera
    You are the lady's escort, remember.
[12:04] Caera
    Please maintain your attention.
[12:07] Pas
    D-Do forgive me.
[12:09] Pas
    I'm sorry, Licorice.
[12:11] Nicolo
    Scary!
[12:14] Pas
    Is that...
[12:15] Pas
    the picture I made?
[12:19] Pas
    I didn't expect her to set it out here.
[12:23] Pas
    It almost feels intentional...
[12:25] Coaton
    Well, well!
[12:26] Coaton
    If it isn't Lord Pastry Morteln.
[12:29] Coaton
    You are most welcome here.
[12:33] Pas
    I was most honored by the invitation.
[12:37] Coaton
    Not at all.
[12:38] Coaton
    Her Ladyship told me to show
    you only the greatest respect.
[12:43] Coaton
    And...
[12:44] Coaton
    to keep a close eye on you as well.
[12:48] Pas
    I guess they're afraid
    of me causing trouble.
[12:51] Pas
    Well, let's maintain a spirit of cordiality!
[12:54] Coaton
    Most agreed.
[12:56] Pas
    This is my big chance to promote the
    Fief of Morteln's specialties, anyway.
[13:01] Pas
    This is my fiancée, Licorice Mille Hubarek.
[13:07] Pas
    She's never been to a gathering of
    southern nobles, so she accompanied me.
[13:14] Licorice
    It is my pleasure to make your acquaintance.
[13:17] Coaton
    My name is Coaton Engels.
[13:20] Coaton
    Attention, all! I wish
    to make an introduction.
[13:23] Coaton
    Invited here by our house,
[13:25] Coaton
    Lord Pastry Mille Morteln
[13:27] Coaton
    and his fiancée, Lady Licorice!
[13:31] Pas
    Now's my chance!
[13:33] Pas
    My name is Pastry.
[13:35] Pas
    Young though I may be,
[13:37] Pas
    I hope you will greet me with open arms.
[13:42] Pas
    As a token of our acquaintance,
[13:44] Pas
    I've brought a gift.
[13:47] Pas
    I believe it will go well with the tea.
[13:49] Noble 1
    How beautiful!
[13:50] Noble 1
    Are they artisanal goods?
[13:52] Pas
    It's called "hard candy."
[13:53] Lady 1
    Candy? It's edible, then?
[13:56] Pas
    By all means, help yourselves!
[14:05] Noble 2
    Th-This is...
[14:07] Lady 1
    It melts in my mouth!
[14:08] Lady 2
    It's like happiness itself
    soaking into my tongue!
[14:14] Pas
    Have one for yourself, Sir Coaton.
[14:16] Coaton
    As you wish.
[14:21] Coaton
    I-Incredible!
[14:24] Coaton
    It's like a torrent of sweetness!
[14:26] Coaton
    Yet it's so rich and full!
[14:30] Coaton
    Such a sweet, gentle aroma
    filling my nostrils...
[14:35] Coaton
    It goes well with the tea.
[14:37] Coaton
    Truly, the sweets and the tea
    leaves play a perfect harmony.
[14:42] Pas
    I-I didn't expect you to
    be a poet, Sir Coaton.
[14:46] Noble 1
    It brings out the flavor
    of the tea even more!
[14:49] Pas
    We made a number of samples.
[14:52] Pas
    And now that we're all friends,
[14:54] Pas
    I'd love to send you more by
    way of traveling merchants!
[14:59] Noble 2
    You would do that?
[15:00] Pas
    Of course.
[15:01] Pas
    And as they're gifts, you don't have to pay.
[15:03] Lady 1
    You're certain?
[15:05] Pas
    Yes, although...
[15:08] Pas
    In that case, might I ask that
[15:10] Pas
    the merchants in question not
    be subject to sugar taxes?
[15:15] Coaton
    Not subject to taxes?
[15:17] Pas
    Sugary goods are taxed very highly.
[15:19] Pas
    Since the amount is so small,
[15:21] Pas
    having them taxed every time I send
    them wouldn't be fair to the merchants.
[15:27] Noble 1
    Well... it would seem a bit odd
    to apply taxes to a gift.
[15:31] Noble 2
    I see...
[15:34] Retes
    What an interesting proposal.
[15:40] Retes
    I'd love to hear more about it.
[15:43] Retes
    Thank you for coming today, everyone.
[15:46] Pas
    Count Retes.
[15:47] Pas
    I was honored to receive your invitation.
[15:50] Retes
    And would this be your lovely fiancée?
[15:54] Licorice
    It is a pleasure to meet you!
[15:58] Retes
    I'd love to hear more of what
    you were proposing just now.
[16:02] Retes
    I really do prefer all business
    matters to go through me first.
[16:06] Pas
    Oh, not at all. We're merely
    talking about personal gifts.
[16:10] Retes
    Shall we speak in private?
[16:12] Pas
    Gladly.
[16:14] Retes
    Would the lady care to wait here, then?
[16:20] Retes
    It concerns negotiations between my
    household and House Morteln, after all.
[16:27] Retes
    Coaton, show our guests
    only the greatest respect.
[16:30] Coaton
    Milady.
[16:32] Pas
    I'll return soon.
[16:34] Licorice
    All right...
[16:39] Pas
    It'll be fine.
[16:41] Pas
    Look after Licorice, would you?
[16:43] Nicolo
    We will.
[16:45] Caera
    We shall.
[16:54] Pas
    This is all very intimidating!
[16:56] Retes
    I am the leader of the
    County of Retes, after all.
[16:59] Pas
    Do you feel I'm going to
    hurt you, Your Ladyship?
[17:03] Retes
    If I did, I would have prepared
    ten times the number of guards.
[17:07] Retes
    A handful of guards would be
    nothing before a magic-user.
[17:12] Retes
    And I'm merely a frail woman, after all.
[17:14] Retes
    Surely it's important that
    I be as cautious as I can?
[17:18] Pas
    You don't look especially frail to me.
[17:21] Retes
    Now, regarding our discussion from before.
[17:23] Retes
    Let's get right to business. No more games.
[17:27] Retes
    What do you want?
[17:29] Pas
    I can't talk my way around her.
[17:40] Pas
    First, try one of these.
[17:43] Retes
    Is this a cow, perhaps?
[17:45] Pas
    Try it.
[17:49] Pas
    How is it?
[17:51] Retes
    A sophisticated flavor.
[17:53] Retes
    Sweet, but not cloying.
[17:55] Retes
    I've eaten many tea sweets in my time,
[17:57] Retes
    but this transparent sweet
    is truly worthy of praise!
[18:01] Retes
    It's quite delicious.
[18:03] Pas
    Thank you for saying that.
[18:05] Pas
    I made it myself.
[18:07] Retes
    And this flavoring... honey?
[18:10] Pas
    Very impressive! You could tell?
[18:14] Pas
    It's made from water, sugar, and honey.
[18:18] Retes
    Surprisingly simple, then.
[18:20] Pas
    I hope to some day produce all
    the ingredients in our fief.
[18:24] Retes
    All the ingredients?
[18:26] Retes
    You mean to produce honey and
    sugar in the Fief of Morteln?
[18:30] Pas
    Yes, I expect to be able to mass
    produce these candies within three years.
[18:36] Retes
    On that barren plot of land?
[18:41] Retes
    No... knowing him, he might just do it.
[18:46] Pas
    And as Your Ladyship has access to a harbor,
[18:49] Pas
    I was hoping I might have your
    support in this endeavor.
[18:51] Pas
    I just used a roundabout
    approach to get there.
[18:54] Retes
    Hence all your talk of taxes?
[18:58] Pas
    Yes, well observed.
[18:59] Retes
    Heavens. It doesn't seem possible,
    but could his end goal be...
[19:06] Retes
    Something greater... much further ahead?
[19:09] Retes
    Just what kind of future is he seeking?
[19:12] Retes
    Very well.
[19:13] Retes
    I'll give you what aid I can,
    but only as regards these candies.
[19:19] Pas
    Thank you so much!
[19:21] Retes
    That future of yours...
    I'll put it in my own pocket.
[19:26] Retes
    By the way... what is this?
[19:31] Coaton
    Lord Pastry is seems to
    be the talk of the party!
[19:34] Licorice
    What?
[19:35] Coaton
    He'll certainly come away
    with many new admirers.
[19:42] Coaton
    I'm sure he'll foster quite a few new
    relationships from this occasion.
[19:48] Coaton
    It's quite enviable.
[19:50] Licorice
    Pastry... with other women?
[19:55] Coaton
    If you'll excuse me.
[19:58] Lady 1
    Lord Pastry is so young,
    but he's very refined, isn't he?
[20:03] Caera
    Milady. Ignore them.
[20:05] Lady 2
    And that wonderful smile!
[20:07] Nicolo
    She's right. Don't listen.
[20:10] Lady 3
    Did you hear? Lord Pastry's fiancée...
[20:13] Lady 3
    She's the daughter of Margrave Hubarek!
[20:17] Lady 4
    My! That prestigious family in the east?
[20:21] Caera
    Milady!
[20:23] Licorice
    I'm really not... comfortable
    in situations like this.
[20:27] Licorice
    I came because I thought Pastry
    would be with me, but...
[20:31] Nicolo
    Can I get you something to drink?
[20:34] Licorice
    I want to go home!
[20:38] Pas
    It's quite a pleasure
    doing business with you.
[20:40] Retes
    The pleasure is all mine.
[20:42] Pas
    Count Retes's mercantile connections
    are the greatest in the south.
[20:46] Pas
    Having her backing is more
    than I could hope for!
[20:49] Pas
    I'm one step closer to
    mass-producing hard candy!
[20:53] Retes
    And that charming fiancée of yours...
[20:57] Retes
    I hear you protected her
    during the kidnapping.
[21:01] Pas
    Y-Yes...
[21:03] Pas
    Licorice... I hope she's all right.
[21:05] Retes
    I'm sure she fell for you
    after how you impressed her.
[21:10] Pas
    I'm not certain it was quite—
[21:11] Retes
    And she's a fine match for
    the next Lord of Morteln.
[21:16] Pas
    No man could complain at having
    Licorice for a partner.
[21:20] Pas
    She's very charming.
[21:23] Retes
    Gracious!
[21:25] Retes
    So precocious! You're as
    flustered as a grown man.
[21:27] Pas
    I-I'm not flustered...
[21:29] Retes
    You love her, don't you?
[21:30] Pas
    Th-This is hardly the time or place to—
[21:33] Retes
    Just admit you love her!
[21:35] Pas
    Y-Your Ladyship?!
[21:38] Retes
    I won't release you until you
    admit your true feelings!
[21:42] Pas
    Th-This is highly inappropriate!

    This is the tale of a genius patissier

    of a poor noble in another world
[00:23] Narrator
    to pursue a world full

    It's a tale that is at once cold

    L-Lord Pastry!
[02:27] Caera
    Wh-What in the world were you...
[02:31] Pas
    I'll explain later.
[02:33] Pas
    Leave this to me!
[02:35] Retes
    Well, well! Hasn't this become amusing?
[02:39] Pas
    Licorice!
[02:48] Pas
    Licorice!
[02:58] Licorice
    I'm sorry.
[03:01] Licorice
    I'm sorry... Pastry.
[03:05] Pas
    L-Listen. Count Retes was just...
[03:10] Pas
    Look, she just sees me as a 9-year-old ki—
[03:14] Licorice
    It's not just that.
[03:17] Licorice
    In the great hall... everyone was...
     talking about you.
[03:23] Licorice
    All those women...
[03:25] Licorice
    And hearing them like that...
[03:29] Licorice
    I began to imagine the most awful things.
[03:33] Pas
    Awful things?
[03:34] Licorice
    If someone else were to express
    their fondness for you...
[03:42] Licorice
    Then maybe... you wouldn't...
[03:46] Licorice
    You wouldn't want me anymore.
[03:49] Pas
    I would never—
[03:52] Licorice
    My sister, Petra...
[03:55] Licorice
    She can talk with anyone so easily.
[04:01] Licorice
    She can be so bold. Everyone likes her.
[04:05] Licorice
    By comparison, I...
[04:09] Licorice
    If only I were more like her.
[04:15] Pas
    Even if you have trouble talking,
[04:17] Pas
    and even if you're reserved,
[04:19] Pas
    that's just part of who you are.
[04:23] Pas
    You don't have to be Lady Petra.
[04:28] Pas
    I like you just the way you are.
[04:32] Pas
    And I'm sure I'll only come
    to like you even more.
[04:39] Pas
    Will you trust me,
    and believe what I'm saying?
[04:46] Licorice
    Yes...
[04:50] Pas
    Could you wait a minute?
[04:53] Pas
    Please, just wait here.
[04:56] Pas
    Trust me, no matter what.
[05:02] Pas
    Please.
[05:37] Pas
    Sorry to keep you waiting!
[05:40] Licorice
    That's all right.
[05:48] Licorice
    Is this... like before?
[05:51] Pas
    Yes.
[05:52] Pas
    But it's not quite like the one from before.
[05:56] Pas
    I made this for you.
[05:58] Pas
    A fresh, special one, just for you.
[06:03] Pas
    Would you do me the honor of accepting it?
[06:12] Pas
    I... I'd really like you to eat it.
[06:18] Pas
    I made it just for you, after all.
[06:36] Licorice
    The aroma of the fruit, and the sweetness...
[06:39] Licorice
    They're filling my mouth.
[06:43] Licorice
    The taste of happiness
    I shared alone with Pastry...
[06:47] Licorice
    Just for us.
[06:50] Licorice
    No one else. Just me and him...
[07:01] Licorice
    R-Really, it's not...
[07:04] Licorice
    I'm not crying from sadness.
[07:11] Licorice
    It's delicious.
[07:14] Pas
    Hey, Licorice.
[07:15] Pas
    I know this treat by the name "candy apple."
[07:19] Licorice
    Candy... apple?
[07:22] Pas
    But there are other names for it.
[07:25] Licorice
    Other names?
[07:27] Pas
    It's very simple to make,
[07:30] Pas
    so it's made in many places,
[07:33] Pas
    and has come to have just as many names.
[07:38] Pas
    Toffee apple.
[07:40] Pas
    Heaven's apple.
[07:42] Pas
    Apple of paradise.
[07:44] Pas
    And...
[07:47] Pas
    apple of love.
[07:53] Pas
    My feelings for you are unwavering,
[07:55] Pas
    and I've poured them all into this treat.
[08:02] Pas
    Please...
[08:04] Pas
    Licorice.
[08:05] Pas
    Will you trust me?
[08:10] Pas
    I... I want to make you happy.
[08:14] Pas
    I want to make you smile.
[08:18] Pas
    I want nothing more than to see your smile...
[08:22] Pas
    Licorice.
[08:28] Licorice
    It's delicious!
[08:30] Pas
    Licorice!
[08:32] Licorice
    Thank you, Pastry!
[08:35] Licorice
    And... I'm sorry.
[08:39] Pas
    Such a beautiful smile...
[08:41] Pas
    I came this close to losing it.
[08:45] Pas
    My dream is to create a land of sweets,
[08:48] Pas
    and bring smiles to the faces
    of everyone in this world.
[08:52] Pas
    I can't do that if I can't at least
    bring smiles to the people I care about.
[08:58] Pas
    I'll make it together with Licorice.
[09:00] Pas
    A land of sweets...
[09:05] Caera
    We came to fetch you, milady.
[09:08] Nicolo
    I saw you, Young Master!
[09:10] Nicolo
    Great work!
[09:11] Pas
    Nicolo... how long were you watching?
[09:14] Nicolo
    How long?
[09:16] Nicolo
    Oh, right.
[09:17] Nicolo
    Since you came back with
    that "apple of love" thing!
[09:21] Nicolo
    Whoo, there's the loverboy
    everyone's talking about!
[09:24] Nicolo
    The Fief of Morteln's own gigolo!
[09:26] Nicolo
    Ladykiller!
[09:28] Pas
    Is that right?
[09:30] Pas
    Nicolo...
[09:32] Pas
    You seem eager for more work lately.
[09:36] Pas
    So when we get back home,
    I'll double your workload!
[09:41] Nicolo
    U-Um, Young Master... you're scaring me.
[09:44] Nicolo
    You're joking about the
    doubled workload, right?
[09:47] Pas
    Really? Double sounds like a joke, does it?
[09:51] Pas
    I'll triple it, then!
[09:53] Nicolo
    Forgive me!
[09:56] Nicolo
    I won't tell your father,
    so please, forgive me!
[10:00] Caera
    Your good spirits seem to be restored.
[10:07] Pas
    She's burning holes in my back.
[10:11] Agnes
    Pas, my love!
[10:13] Agnes
    Welcome home!
[10:17] Pas
    I'm back... M-Mother.
[10:22] Agnes
    Did you enjoy the tea tasting ceremony?
[10:24] Casserole
    Good work on your first diplomatic mission.
[10:29] Pas
    I-I can't breathe, Mother!
[10:32] Casserole
    Come, Agnes. Release the boy.
[10:34] Casserole
    I really think you're choking him.
[10:37] Licorice
    I've returned.
[10:39] Agnes
    Welcome home.
[10:43] Licorice
    Is something...
[10:45] Agnes
    Pas zapped himself back here this afternoon
[10:48] Agnes
    and busied himself with something-or-other...
[10:52] Agnes
    Could it have been something
    for you, my dear?
[10:56] Pas
    Erk!
[10:59] Agnes
    I'd love to hear all about what happened!
[11:05] Agnes
    Pas, dear!
[11:08] Pas
    Please, be gentle!
[11:11] Nicolo
    She might be more intimidating
    than the count...
[11:25] Pas
    I... I'm exhausted.
[11:30] Feuille
    You had to humor the mistress
    for two straight hours, eh?
[11:34] Feuille
    Well done.
[11:35] Feuille
    Want some bean tea?
[11:38] Pas
    Sure, thanks.
[11:43] Feuille
    Help yourself!
[11:44] Pas
    Thanks so much...
SIGN    Slurp
[11:49] Pas
    That's so good!
[11:51] Feuille
    What's all this here?
[11:55] Pas
    Oh, that's leftover wrapping
    paper for the hard candy.
[11:59] Pas
    Mother and I wrapped them as I humored her.
[12:05] Feuille
    Wrapping paper for the hard candy?
[12:07] Feuille
    Wait...
[12:08] Feuille
    What in the world is this?
[12:10] Pas
    It's just what it looks like.
[12:13] Feuille
    You used this as wrapping paper?
[12:15] Feuille
    What were you thinking?
[12:17] Pas
    Revenge for her messing with me and Licorice.
[12:21] Pas
    A minor thing.
[12:24] Retes
    How dare he! That awful child!
[12:28] Coaton
    P-Please remain calm, Your Ladyship!
[12:32] Retes
    He sent candy to all the
    nobles wrapped in that paper!
[12:36] Retes
    And because of that...
[12:37] Retes
    People are spreading rumors
    that I "like them young"!
[12:43] Coaton
    And ever since,
[12:44] Coaton
    we've been receiving dozens of offers
    every day from far-too-young prospects...
[12:50] Coaton
    This one's eight years old.
[12:52] Coaton
    This one's ten years old.
[12:55] Retes
    He's completely gumming up the works!
[12:58] Retes
    You'll pay for this, child!
SIGN    Estate of Margrave Hubarek
[13:03] Attendant
    My lord, there are stirrings
    from Margrave Lutoroute.
[13:09] Hubarek
    As expected, he'll be making
    his move before the summer.
[13:12] Attendant
    He seems to have realized that
    the union between our house
[13:17] Attendant
    and Duke Kadlecek's would strengthen our army.
[13:19] Attendant
    And he's decided to invade before then.
[13:22] Hubarek
    Hence his earlier aggressions?
[13:26] Hubarek
    It sounds like something Lutoroute would do.
[13:29] Attendant
    He seems eager to conclude
    your long rivalry at last.
[13:35] Hubarek
    So? What's the scale of his army?
[13:37] Attendant
    Reports say it's almost
    thirty thousand strong.
[13:40] Hubarek
    Thirty thousand, eh?
[13:42] Attendant
    I can't say we're prepared to
    defend against a force that large.
[13:47] Hubarek
    Send a messenger to Duke Kadlecek
    in the royal capital at once.
[13:51] Hubarek
    I'll compose a letter
    requesting reinforcements.
[13:53] Attendant
    Milord.
[13:58] Hubarek
    Damn you, Lutoroute.
[14:01] Pas
    Chu, chu, takokai na...
[14:04] Pas
    Chu, chu, takokai na...
[14:07] Feuille
    Kid? What's that weird little chant?
[14:11] Pas
    It's a kind of counting song.
[14:14] Pas
    The profits from the hard candy
[14:15] Pas
    plus the matchmaking photos
[14:17] Pas
    total up to 384 coins!
[14:20] Feuille
    Hey! You reached your target!
[14:24] Pas
    Yes!
[14:26] Pas
    The silvers and these four extra
    leftover golds will go into my savings.
[14:31] Feuille
    That's an awfully high amount
    for someone your age.
[14:35] Pas
    Appropriate recompense for
    my time making sweets!
[14:40] Feuille
    Well, you earned us a profit,
    so I doubt the boss will complain.
[14:45] Feuille
    Well, will you be using
    it for what you expected?
[14:48] Pas
    Yes, ask the traveling merchant
    to round up a hundred goats!
[14:54] Feuille
    What?
[14:54] Feuille
    Earlier, you said you'd want 70 or 80...
[14:58] Pas
    We'll overbid for a hundred,
[15:00] Pas
    then probably end up
    compromising at 70 to 80.
[15:04] Feuille
    That's dirty business.
[15:06] Pas
    See if you can get him to
    throw in three donkeys!
[15:10] Feuille
    You better rein it in a little.
[15:12] Feuille
    You're gonna make the merchant cry.
[15:14] Pas
    Goat milk and cheese are amazing!
[15:17] Pas
    They're just perfect for use in sweets!
[15:22] Pas
    What will I make?
[15:25] Feuille
    Goats, huh?
[15:26] Feuille
    We tried to raise those
    in our early days here.
[15:32] Pas
    Father told me about it.
[15:34] Pas
    Goats will eat anything,
    so they're easy to raise.
[15:38] Feuille
    Yeah.
[15:40] Feuille
    But since they'll eat anything...
[15:43] Feuille
    With our land barren enough as it was,
[15:45] Feuille
    we couldn't afford to hold them,
    and the boss let them go.
[15:50] Pas
    But now the land's rich and green!
[15:54] Pas
    Now I can start adding more livestock,
[15:56] Pas
    and take another step
    toward my land of sweets!
[15:59] Feuille
    So will we be eating the chickens now?
[16:04] Pas
    Don't be ridiculous!
[16:05] Feuille
    Wh-What?!
[16:06] Pas
    Chickens are absolutely essential!
[16:10] Pas
    If anything, we'll need more of them!
[16:13] Pas
    Cakes, cookies, custards, meringue!
[16:16] Pas
    We need eggs for all of them!
[16:18] Pas
    We cannot be a fief without eggs!
[16:21] Feuille
    So it's the sweets we're
    worried about, right?
[16:24] Feuille
    But in that case...
[16:27] Feuille
    The lack of workers might be an issue.
[16:29] Pas
    I'll need to mull that one over.
[16:33] Pas
    Let's take a breather!
[16:39] Pas
    Feuille...
[16:40] Pas
    Would you take a taste of this?
[16:45] Feuille
    What's this stuff?
[16:47] Pas
    It's extracted from sweet sorghum,
    a particular kind of sorghum grass.
[16:56] Feuille
    Seems pretty sticky...
[16:58] Pas
    I tried to boil it down a bit to thicken it,
[17:02] Pas
    but it didn't really work.
[17:03] Pas
    Still, that shouldn't affect flavor.
[17:07] Feuille
    That's sweet!
[17:08] Feuille
    It's incredibly sweet!
[17:10] Pas
    It's a first experiment in making sugar.
[17:13] Feuille
    Sugar?
[17:14] Pas
    I'll improve the recipe and turn Morteln
    into a producer of confectioneries!
[17:19] Pas
    If I can just produce my own sugar,
    I can produce as many desserts as I—
[17:23] Feuille
    If you say so.
[17:25] Feuille
    Just don't use your magic,
    or the boss might smite you again.
[17:30] Pas
    I swear, I've learned my lesson!
[17:43] Licorice
    What are you doing?
[17:45] Pas
    We're making a juicer!
[17:48] Licorice
    A juicer?
[17:51] Pas
    Yes, it's done!
[17:56] Pas
    I'll show you.
[17:59] Pas
    We've placed sorghum
    grass stalks in the cask,
[18:02] Pas
    and we're going to extract juice from them.
[18:06] Marc
    Hey!
[18:07] Marc
    I can't reach it!
[18:10] Lumi
    You're so short, Marc.
[18:12] Marc
    Shut up! You're shorter than I am!
[18:15] Pas
    Maybe I messed up the measurements...
[18:18] Marc
    Fine. Get on, Lumi!
[18:20] Lumi
    Okay!
[18:25] Pas
    Lumi, go slow so that it doesn't break!
[18:31] Marc
    You're heavy, damn it!
[18:34] Lumi
    What was that?!
[18:35] Lumi
    You wanna fight, you jerk?
[18:36] Pas
    Please don't fight!
[18:38] Pas
    Keep pulling it, slowly!
[18:40] Lumi
    Got it!
[18:42] Marc
    You're so heavy!
[18:44] Lumi
    There you go again!
[18:46] Pas
    Lumi, no!
[18:50] Licorice
    Look out!
[18:55] Licorice
    A-Are you all right?
[18:57] Pas
    Was anyone hurt?
[18:59] Lumi
    Ow...
[19:00] Lumi
    I-I'm okay.
[19:02] Lumi
    Damn it...
[19:05] Pas
    I guess it won't be that easy.
[19:09] Pas
    I think I got the idea right,
[19:11] Pas
    but it's just not tough enough...
[19:14] Pas
    Maybe I should make it all from iron?
[19:17] Licorice
    That might work, but...
[19:22] Pas
    If you have an idea, tell me.
[19:24] Pas
    The purpose of a prototype
    is to be improved upon.
[19:30] Pas
    In sweets, too, you can only make something
    good after trial, error, and improvement.
[19:36] Pas
    Trial and error are essential
    to producing sweets!
[19:40] Pas
    You make a thousand good
    sweets by making one first!
[19:43] Lumi
    You know what he's talking about?
[19:46] Marc
    No idea.
[19:47] Licorice
    I don't have the diagram or anything...
[19:50] Licorice
    But in Hubarek, when they make wine,
[19:53] Licorice
    they use something like your juicer there.
SIGN    Squeeze
[19:59] Licorice
    I think it involves two
    people turning a lever...
[20:05] Pas
    Wine? That might just do it!
[20:08] Pas
    I see!
[20:09] Pas
    If a tool for that purpose already exists,
[20:12] Pas
    let's figure out a way to get one!
[20:15] Pas
    That'll reduce mistakes!
[20:17] Pas
    Thanks, Licorice!
[20:20] Licorice
    It was nothing.
[20:22] Marc
    What was all that crap about
    trial and error, then?
[20:27] Lumi
    Sheesh.
[20:28] Lumi
    You made me fall on my butt for no reason.
[20:31] Pas
    I'll ask you to be my taste-tester, then.
[20:36] Lumi
    I forgive you!
[20:37] Marc
    You never change.
[20:40] Pas
    Time is money!
[20:42] Pas
    I'm gonna get back and talk
    to Feuille about the juicer!
[20:47] Pas
    Sorry, can you guys clean up for me here?
[20:50] Marc
    You got it!
[20:54] Licorice
    Pas is having so much fun...
[20:56] Pas
    Sugar, goat milk, fresh eggs,
[21:00] Pas
    cheese, flour, yogurt!
[21:04] Pas
    I'm so excited!
[21:06] Pas
    What dessert will I make first?
[21:09] Pas
    I'm gonna bake my heart out!
[21:12] Pas
    A cake? No, maybe I'll try flan?
[21:16] Pas
    Choux a la creme, maybe?!
[21:24] Pas
    Father! You're back?
[21:29] Pas
    How were Duke Kadlecek and Lord Squale?
[21:36] Pas
    Father?
[21:38] Feuille
    Kid... we've got bad news.
[21:42] Pas
    What is it?

[00:06] Casserole
    Hey, what's...
[00:09] Casserole
    What's Pas up to?
[00:11] Feuille
    Working on some kind of sample sweet...
[00:14] Feuille
    made by whisking egg whites.
[00:17] Feuille
    He's been at it... all day!
[00:21] Casserole
    He's been doing that same motion all day?
SIGN    Bulge
[00:25] Cointreau
    Not a bad way...
[00:26] Glacage
    ...of building muscle, I'd wager.
[00:29] Pas
    You'd think that, right?
[00:32] Glacage
    Wh-What?!
[00:33] Cointreau
    No muscle has formed,
    even after all that labor?!
[00:38] Pas
    You're clearly shocked
    by my slim, delicate arm.
[00:42] Pas
    It's because...
[00:44] Pas
    What you develop through whisking eggs
[00:46] Pas
    is STMF!
[00:48] Casserole
    "Small-to-medium fowl"?
[00:50] Pas
    "Slow-twitch muscle fibers."
[00:53] Pas
    By exposing my arms to prolonged
    low-burden exercise,
[00:58] Pas
    I develop lithe and firm arms
    without bulging muscles!
[01:04] Pas
    But more importantly,
[01:05] Pas
    the crucial factor in muscle
    development is diet!
[01:11] Pas
    Most calories from sweets come
    from carbohydrates and fat,
[01:14] Pas
    with very low protein values,
[01:17] Pas
    so they don't build muscle!
[01:18] Casserole
    You need to eat real food!
[01:24] Narrator
    This is the tale of a genius patissier
    who died before his time,
[01:29] Narrator

    of a poor noble in another world
[01:33] Narrator
    to pursue a world full
    of desserts and smiles.
[01:37] Narrator
    It's a tale that is at once cold
    and unsparing, and syrupy sweet.

    War has begun.
[03:27] Casserole
    It started between Hubarek's lands in
    the east and their neighbor, Lutoroute.
SIGN    Lutoroute War Camp
[03:37] Aide A
    According to reports,
[03:39] Aide A
    there's been no word yet of
    reinforcements from the duke's estate
[03:42] Aide A
    in the royal capital.
[03:45] Lutoroute
    Just as I thought.
[03:47] Lutoroute
    The moment they heard the false rumor
    that our army was 30,000 strong,
[03:51] Lutoroute
    Hubarek would have requested
    aid from Kadlecek.
[03:55] Lutoroute
    The fact that there's been
    no action there means...
[03:58] Aide A
    Either the duke turned him down,
[03:59] Aide A
    or the Hubareks withdrew
    their request for aid.
[04:04] Lutoroute
    It'll be the latter.
[04:05] Lutoroute
    The minute he learned we
    have only ten thousand,
[04:08] Lutoroute
    he'd want to handle us himself to save face.
[04:12] Lutoroute
    He won't want large-scale
    participation by the ducal house.
[04:16] Aide A
    I doubt the duke will appreciate that.
[04:20] Aide A
    We can assume it was a source of conflict.
[04:25] Lutoroute
    Just watch me, Hubarek.
[04:27] Lutoroute
    I'll settle this long-standing
    grudge between us...
[04:29] Lutoroute
    with your destruction!
[04:32] Lieutenant A
    Milord!
[04:34] Lieutenant A
    I've received word that the daughter's fiancé
[04:36] Lieutenant A
    is currently stationed in the margravate.
[04:41] Lutoroute
    Oh?
[04:42] Lutoroute
    The duke's grandson, you mean?
[04:53] Licorice
    Pas!
[04:55] Licorice
    Is something the matter?
[04:59] Licorice
    You seemed a bit lost in thought.
[05:02] Pas
    Oh, no, I'm just fine!
[05:05] Licorice
    Were you thinking about the war?
[05:11] Licorice
    I heard that war was breaking out
    between my homeland and its neighbor...
[05:17] Licorice
    I...
[05:20] Licorice
    I believe we're thinking the same thing.
[05:26] Licorice
    War is a foolish thing.
    Why do they have to fight?
[05:33] Licorice
    Instead of waging war, they could
    be making delicious sweets...
[05:38] Licorice
    If they could lose themselves
    in it the way that you do,
[05:42] Licorice
    and eat the finished desserts with a smile...
[05:48] Licorice
    Then everyone in the world
    could be happy and joyous!
[05:57] Pas
    I feel the same way.
[06:03] Pas
    Sweets make everyone happy!
[06:06] Pas
    Behind every smile, there's a sweet!
[06:09] Pas
    The road to happiness is paved with sweets!
[06:11] Pas
    That's the right answer!
[06:14] Licorice
    Yes!
[06:19] Pas
    Oh, right!
[06:20] Pas
    The merchant's going to
    deliver the goats today.
[06:23] Licorice
    Goats?
[06:24] Pas
    Cheesecake made from goat's
    milk is rich and delicious!
[06:30] Licorice
    Cheesecake?
[06:31] Licorice
    I'd love to try that!
[06:33] Pas
    Right? You can set your hopes high, then!
[06:37] Licorice
    I will!
[06:40] Pas
    Someone swiped the goats?!
[06:43] Pas
    Explain this at once!
[06:45] Merchant
    Well, actually...
[06:46] Merchant
    "Before I could bring them here,
    another noble bought them all up,"
[06:51] Merchant
    would be more precise.
[06:53] Pas
    That's still basically swiping them!
[06:56] Feuille
    To force a person to sell
    something under threat
[06:59] Feuille
    isn't much different from stealing.
[07:03] Merchant
    I'm so sorry!
[07:05] Merchant
    I tried to explain that they
    already had a buyer, but...
[07:09] Merchant
    They said the circumstances were dire,
[07:11] Merchant
    and they'd kill me if I
    didn't hand over the goats!
[07:14] Merchant
    I didn't have a choice...
[07:16] Casserole
    I understand.
[07:18] Casserole
    Thank you for coming in person to explain.
[07:21] Pas
    So? Who'd you sell them to?
[07:24] Merchant
    Baron Lunzvage.
[07:26] Pas
    Ah, the one famous for picking
    on newer noble families...
[07:31] Feuille
    Having a familial connection to
    a powerful noble would help us
[07:35] Feuille
    to lodge a complaint, but...
[07:40] Casserole
    But the engagement to House Hubarek
    has not yet been formalized.
[07:44] Casserole
    It would be difficult to ask
    the margrave to intervene.
[07:49] Casserole
    Besides, this is likely a consequence
    of the conflict between
[07:53] Casserole
    the houses of Hubarek and Lutoroute.
[07:56] Casserole
    Complaining about the shockwaves from
    that won't earn us much sympathy.
[07:59] Feuille
    So we basically just have to suck it up?
[08:02] Casserole
    We only got word of the
    war three days ago, too.
[08:05] Casserole
    Hard to believe it's already affecting us...
[08:08] Feuille
    It's gotta be a pretty big conflict,
[08:11] Feuille
    and we're all connected by trade.
[08:14] Feuille
    Even distant regions will be
    at least somewhat affected.
[08:17] Pas
    Is this a trial, then?
[08:19] Pas
    Baron, heron, whatever he is...
[08:23] Casserole
    Pas?
[08:25] Pas
    Anyone who gets in the way of my fun
[08:29] Pas
    must be purged from the face of this world!
[08:31] Pas
    We mustn't permit this kind of tyranny!
    Morteln's pride can't survive it!
[08:35] Feuille
    What's wrong, kid?
[08:36] Casserole
    Calm down!
[08:37] Pas
    How can I be calm?!
[08:38] Pas
    I'm gonna march right up to that baron
    guy and give him a piece of my mind!
[08:42] Casserole
    Pas!
[08:44] Casserole
    You need to calm down.
[08:46] Pas
    But Father—
[08:47] Casserole
    Lands are at war.
[08:48] Casserole
    Every fief is going to
    need supplies, especially food.
[08:53] Casserole
    And the Lunzvage Barony is closer
    to the front lines than ours.
[08:58] Casserole
    It's natural that they'd have
    a pressing need for food.
[09:02] Casserole
    Besides, he didn't steal the goats.
[09:04] Casserole
    He still paid for them.
[09:07] Casserole
    I'm sorry you lost your chance to buy them,
[09:10] Casserole
    but you're the only one who's
    actually been harmed by that.
[09:13] Casserole
    You have to acknowledge that.
[09:14] Pas
    You're right.
[09:16] Pas
    But—
[09:16] Feuille
    So even if you went to get them back,
[09:18] Feuille
    he'd just use the war as
    an excuse to dismiss you.
[09:25] Casserole
    I understand that you're frustrated,
[09:27] Casserole
    but you need to accept reality.
[09:30] Pas
    But I really need those goats!
[09:32] Casserole
    Once the conflict is settled,
    you'll get a chance to negotiate.
[09:36] Casserole
    Though it won't be easy.
[09:40] (Flashback) Licorice
    Cheesecake?
[09:42] (Flashback) Licorice
    I'd love to try that!
[09:44] Pas
    Why must people go to war?
[09:47] Pas
    It doesn't make anyone happy!
[09:50] Feuille
    Say, I've got an idea!
[09:53] Feuille
    A way to get your pick
    of supplies, even during war.
[09:59] Pas
    That's it! Reinforcements!
[10:01] Pas
    If we join the war as reinforcements,
[10:04] Pas
    we can assert priority
    selection of provisions!
[10:07] Feuille
    Exactly!
[10:08] Feuille
    Baron Lunzvage is famous
    for his miserly ways.
[10:12] Feuille
    I doubt he's offering much in the way of aid.
[10:14] Feuille
    But if we join the reinforcement ourselves,
[10:17] Feuille
    it could give us a leg up on him.
[10:21] Casserole
    And since Pas and Licorice are engaged,
[10:25] Casserole
    we have a reason to side with Hubarek.
[10:28] Pas
    I've decided.
[10:31] Pas
    Watch me, Baron Lunzvage!
[10:34] Pas
    Those goats...
[10:36] Pas
    are my goats!
[10:41] Marc
    Pas is the adjutant,
[10:44] Marc
    and the lord is the commander?
[10:47] Lumi
    The retainers are my dad and Nicolo.
[10:49] Lumi
    I hope that newbie can handle the job...
[10:54] Cointreau
    That, plus eight footsoldiers
    recruited from our villages.
[10:58] Cointreau
    Twelve in all.
[11:01] Marc
    Damn it! I wanted to go, too!
[11:04] Lumi
    You would've just been a burden.
[11:06] Marc
    What was that?!
[11:08] Cointreau
    We've got an important job, too.
[11:10] Cointreau
    Protecting the fief while
    our suzerain's gone.
[11:13] Marc
    I know that, Dad!
[11:16] Agnes
    But to make all their preparations
    and leave in one day...
[11:20] Feuille
    The boss and the kid are always
    prepared for an emergency.
[11:25] Feuille
    They believe in being ready for anything!
[11:27] Agnes
    There's nothing to worry about, Licorice.
[11:31] Licorice
    I know...
[11:36] Pas
    Sorry, Licorice,
[11:38] Pas
    for going off to the front myself.
[11:40] Pas
    But I'm doing it for sweets...
[11:42] Pas
    Rather, to right a wrong!
[11:46] Pas
    Once I get my goats back,
[11:48] Pas
    I'll make lots of delicious desserts!
[12:01] Squale
    So charming...
[12:03] Petra
    You have the real me right here!
[12:05] Petra
    How can you be preoccupied with a picture?!
[12:07] Squale
    I-I wasn't!
[12:09] Squale
    It's just, the real you is so charming,
[12:11] Squale
    I feel like I have to prepare myself.
[12:13] Petra
    My!
[12:19] Squale
    Yeah, Petra really is charming...
[12:25] Hubarek
    Well done!
[12:27] Hubarek
    That was a great cover story you
    pulled out of thin air, Lord Squale.
[12:31] Squale
    It wasn't a cover story!
[12:33] Squale
    I meant it! I don't—
[12:34] Petra
    Father, don't tease Lord Squale!
[12:38] Hubarek
    Oh, sorry.
[12:39] Petra
    Please excuse him, Lord Squale.
[12:41] Squale
    No offense taken.
[12:43] Squale
    Shall we take a walk?
[12:44] Attendant
    Milord!
[12:46] Attendant
    Lutoroute's main force is on the march!
[12:50] Hubarek
    What?!
[12:51] Attendant
    They number just over ten thousand!
[12:53] Hubarek
    Ten thousand?
[12:55] Hubarek
    So the original report of
    thirty thousand was falsified.
[12:59] Hubarek
    We should be able to handle them
    with our forces alone, then.
[13:04] Hubarek
    Lord Squale, you heard the man.
[13:06] Squale
    Sir!
[13:07] Hubarek
    I'd like to put you on
    the front line defenses.
[13:12] Petra
    No! With our army alone?!
[13:15] Hubarek
    Petra, I know what I'm doing.
[13:18] Petra
    But...
[13:24] Squale
    My lord!
[13:26] Squale
    Thank you for gifting me my first campaign.
[13:29] Squale
    I'll set out at once!
[13:31] Hubarek
    Good.
[13:32] Hubarek
    See to it!
[13:33] Squale
    Sir.
[13:34] Petra
    Lord Squale...
[13:35] Squale
    Don't worry.
[13:36] Squale
    I will protect your father's lands.
SIGN    Lutoroute War Camp
[13:43] Lieutenant A
    Reporting in!
[13:45] Lieutenant A
    Part of the advance unit has arrived
    near the border and formed rank!
[13:50] Lutoroute
    Excellent work.
[13:51] Aide A
    Milord.
[13:52] Aide A
    Our forces are showing signs of fatigue,
[13:55] Aide A
    and the Hubarek army is
    steadily growing their ranks.
[13:59] Aide A
    We could end up at a disadvantage.
[14:02] Lutoroute
    You think I didn't account for that?
[14:06] Aide A
    Certainly not, milord...
[14:08] Lutoroute
    My real goal here is to tear
    Hubarek and Kadlecek apart.
[14:12] Aide A
    The margrave and the duke?
[14:16] Lutoroute
    Kadlecek's heir is stationed
    at House Hubarek.
[14:19] Lutoroute
    He's never been in a real battle before.
[14:22] Lutoroute
    Hubarek likely wants to grant
    him his first campaign,
[14:25] Lutoroute
    but he can't just go throwing a
    dignitary's grandson into jeopardy.
[14:30] Lutoroute
    If you expect an easy battle, though,
[14:33] Lutoroute
    it's a perfect chance for a first deployment.
[14:35] Lutoroute
    And if he gives him a win,
    he'll have Kadlecek's gratitude.
[14:40] Lutoroute
    That's why I'm going to lure him out
[14:42] Lutoroute
    to a place where I can easily finish him.
[14:48] Lutoroute
    The girl will lose her fiancé.
[14:50] Lutoroute
    Kadlecek will be furious
    and cut ties with him.
[14:53] Lutoroute
    Hubarek will be isolated, his attempt
    to expand his forces up in smoke.
[14:58] Lutoroute
    And while he's still reeling from that,
     I'll mount our all-out attack.
[15:01] Lutoroute
    It'll all be over before the duke's
    reinforcements ever arrive.
[15:07] Lutoroute
    I can already imagine the
    despair on Hubarek's face!

SIGN    The Day Before • Margravate of Hubarek
[15:40] Hubarek
    Well, if it isn't Lord Morteln and Lord Pastry!
[15:44] Casserole
    We heard you were under attack
    and wished to offer our aid.
[15:48] Hubarek
    I'm truly grateful for this aid from afar.
[15:52] Pas
    No, we're doing it for the goats!
[15:54] Casserole
    Hey!
[15:56] Hubarek
    Goats?
[15:57] Pas
    N-Nothing!
[15:59] Pas
    I mean, anything to aid the
    family of my precious fiancée!
[16:06] Casserole
    How's the battle going?
[16:07] Hubarek
    It's well for now.
[16:10] Hubarek
    The enemy force isn't as large as I expected.
[16:13] Hubarek
    They're preparing a strike from
    their front line fortress now.
[16:18] Pas
    It's not that large?
[16:19] Hubarek
    Yes, I thought they could be 30,000 strong,
[16:23] Hubarek
    but in fact, it's closer to 12,000.
[16:26] Hubarek
    I'd like to get your opinion, sir.
[16:28] Casserole
    Where are they set up?
[16:30] Hubarek
    There are two thousand here.
[16:32] Hubarek
    Their main force is here, with what
    looks like 500 provisionals nearby.
[16:37] Hubarek
    We've got 200 of our men
    protecting this hill,
[16:40] Hubarek
    and there are enemy forces here as well.
[16:44] Pas
    I see. Solid defenses.
[16:46] Casserole
    It's curious.
[16:48] Hubarek
    Curious?
[16:49] Casserole
    Something's not right. It doesn't add up.
[16:52] Casserole
    It all looks fine at a glance, but...
[16:57] Hubarek
    You think so too?
[16:59] Pas
    A warrior's instinct?
[17:03] Pas
    But for a veteran like Father,
    it's probably trustworthy.
[17:08] Casserole
    But the formation certainly
    seems sensible and solid.
[17:14] Casserole
    What is it that doesn't feel right?
[17:17] Pas
    Maybe it's too solid?
[17:20] Hubarek
    What do you mean?
[17:21] Pas
    It shouldn't be this solid, right?
[17:24] Pas
    This is the formation of an army
    preparing for an attack from us.
[17:29] Pas
    They're the ones invading,
[17:32] Pas
    so why are they in a defensive formation?
[17:36] Casserole
    Yes, why would invaders
    reinforce their defenses
[17:39] Casserole
    before even a single battle's been fought?
[17:42] Hubarek
    So that's what felt wrong about it.
[17:45] Pas
    What are they after, then?
[17:48] Hubarek
    You think they want to wear us down?
[17:51] Casserole
    No. If I were them...
[17:55] Casserole
    I'd leave the majority of my
    forces to solidify our defenses
[17:58] Casserole
    and make up for my lack of numbers
[18:00] Casserole
    by fighting a limited war
    with small mobile units,
[18:04] Casserole
    to slowly but surely shave down my
    opponent's numbers through repeated ambushes.
[18:10] Casserole
    Here, for instance.
[18:12] Casserole
    This is where I'd strike first.
[18:16] Pas
    If you put yourself in
    your opponent's position,
[18:18] Pas
    you can figure out exactly
    what they're after?
[18:21] Casserole
    If I'm assuming you're defending
    against attacks from the north,
[18:25] Casserole
    a strike here should leave me unscathed.
[18:27] Casserole
    The terrain also makes
    it perfect for an ambush.
[18:32] Pas
    Sir?
[18:34] Hubarek
    That's...
[18:36] Hubarek
    That's where Lord Squale's unit is headed!
[18:40] Pas
    Lord Squale?!
[18:42] Hubarek
    I thought it would be an easy area to defend,
[18:46] Hubarek
    and that it would be a good
    first deployment for him.
[18:49] Casserole
    Lord Squale has no combat experience.
[18:51] Casserole
    He won't last long as
    the target of an ambush!
[18:54] Casserole
    We must lend him our aid!
[18:56] Hubarek
    You're right.
[18:57] Hubarek
    I'll leave a company in your hands!
[18:59] Hubarek
    Get to Lord Squale at once!
[19:01] Casserole
    Let's hurry, Pas!
[19:02] Pas
    Right!
[19:05] Squale
    Where do we expect the enemy to attack from?
[19:07] Aide
    The northeast, we believe.
[19:09] Squale
    Good.
[19:10] Squale
    We'll meet them here and wipe them out!
[19:12] Aide
    Sir!
[19:13] Hubarek Soldier 1
    Excuse me, sir!
[19:15] Hubarek Soldier 1
    We've sighted the enemy in the distance!
[19:17] Hubarek Soldier 1
    About twenty men!
[19:19] Squale
    It's time, then.
[19:21] Squale
    Let's begin!
[19:30] Squale
    Where are they? Where is the enemy?!
[19:32] Hubarek Soldier 2
    It's an ambush!
[19:34] Hubarek Soldier 2
    It's the enemy!
[19:35] Hubarek Soldier 2
    It's an ambush from the southern forest!
[19:37] Squale
    What?
[19:38] Aide
    How did they get behind us?!
[19:40] Lutoroute Army
    Get them!
[19:43] Lutoroute Army
    Go!
[19:46] Hubarek Soldier 4
    There are so many!
[19:47] Squale
    I thought there were only twenty of them!
[19:49] Aide
    Don't retreat! Meet them here!
[19:50] Squale
    They tricked us?
[19:58] Squale
    Stay calm. Stay calm!

    Lord Squale!
[20:04] Aide
    Lord Squale, your orders?!
[20:07] Squale
    We're playing into their hands here.
[20:08] Squale
    Get into the forest!
[20:09] Aide
    Sir!
[20:17] Hubarek Soldier 1
    Enemy reinforcements! About a hundred!

    Lord Squale, your orders?!

    Take him down!
[20:56] Squale
    We need to retreat! All forces, fall back!
[20:58] Aide
    We can't!
[20:59] Aide
    They have us surrounded!
[21:13] Squale
    We'll carve a path through.
[21:15] Aide
    But we don't have enough men!

[02:51] Hubarek
    I'm so sorry.
[02:52] Hubarek
    My lack of due diligence

[03:04] Casserole
    Lord Squale performed splendidly.
[03:07] Casserole
    Even surrounded by enemies,

    He was determined to fight his way out.

    No. If you two hadn't come, I don't think...
[03:20] Hubarek
    Lutoroute's army seems to have
    returned to its territory for now.
[03:25] Casserole
    That's excellent news.
[03:27] Hubarek
    It's time to celebrate those
    with accomplishments in battle.
[03:31] Hubarek
    First and foremost, Lord Squale's devotion.
[03:35] Casserole
    That's right.
[03:38] Squale
    I hardly deserve it.

    You seem rather tired.

    But if even Lady Petra can't
    comfort him, how could I?
[05:44] Petra
    There's nothing I want more than
    to see his brilliant smile again.
[05:50] Petra
    Nothing more than that.
[05:53] Pas
    Smile?
[05:55] (Flashback) Licorice
    If they could eat the finished
    desserts with a smile...
[05:59] (Flashback) Licorice
    Then everyone in the world
    could be happy and joyous!
[06:05] (Flashback) Pas
    Sweets make everyone happy!
[06:09] Pas
    Behind every smile, there's a sweet!
[06:12] Pas
    Smile?
[06:14] Pas
    Of course... smile!
[06:16] Casserole
    Looks like you've got an idea.
[06:18] Pas
    There's something I want to make.
[06:20] Pas
    Could you ready what I need?
[06:23] Casserole
    What kind of dessert is it?
[06:24] Pas
    Wha?
[06:26] Casserole
    It's a dessert, right?
[06:27] Pas
    Um, well...
[06:28] Pas
    Father, I'm not doing this out of
    a personal desire to make sweets...
[06:33] Casserole
    Do whatever you like.
[06:36] Pas
    Father!
[06:37] Casserole
    I'm leaving it in your hands.
[06:39] Petra
    Lord Pastry, please!
[06:42] Hubarek
    I'll see you get whatever you need.
[06:44] Pas
    Thank you so much!
[06:46] Pas
    Then could you ready some bonkas?
[06:50] Hubarek
    Bonkas?
[06:51] Casserole
    Are you making bonka pie?
[06:54] Pas
    No.
[07:01] Pas
    Lord Squale has shut himself away from
    the world because he feels incompetent.
[07:10] Pas
    I want to bring him the light of a smile...
[07:13] Pas
    The path back to happiness
    that a smile represents!
[07:29] Hubarek
    A toast to victory!
[07:31] Nobles
    To victory!
[07:33] Hubarek
    This is our fief's best wine!
[07:36] Hubarek
    Drink to your hearts' content!
[08:05] Noble 1
    I thought it would be a long campaign,
    but it was just a minor skirmish?
[08:08] Noble 2
    Yeah, I was hoping to get
    some recognition out of it.
[08:11] Noble 3
    But the only one with any bragging
    rights is that spoiled little outsider!
[08:17] Noble 2
    Nice work if you can get it, eh?
[08:25] Casserole
    Pay them no mind.
[08:27] Casserole
    They just want to complain.
[08:29] Squale
    No... they're correct.
[08:34] Casserole
    It's unfortunate, but war
    comes with sacrifice.
[08:39] Casserole
    As the grandson of Duke Kadlecek,
[08:42] Casserole
    you must internalize that
    fact even more than most.
[08:47] Squale
    You are correct.
[08:49] Squale
    I've been given a position of prominence
    because of my place in the duke's line.
[08:55] Squale
    The margrave even set up a perfect
    first campaign for me, and yet...
[08:59] Squale
    I don't know how I'll face my grandfather.
[09:03] Hubarek
    I struggled in my first campaign as well.
[09:05] Hubarek
    You did well, Lord Squale.
[09:08] Hubarek
    You're allowed to feel proud.
[09:11] Squale
    Thank you for your kind words.
[09:15] Squale
    I can't get it out of my mind.
[09:17] Squale
    All of them... because of my inexperience...
[09:26] Pas
    I'm sorry I'm late.
[09:29] Pas
    Your Lordship, my most heartfelt
    congratulations on your victory.
[09:34] Hubarek
    And you have my thanks for your
    aid provided from a distant land.
[09:39] Pas
    And if I may say,
[09:40] Pas
    your decisive, assertive,
    yet steady leadership
[09:45] Pas
    does you credit as one of this
    kingdom's leading authorities.
[09:47] Hubarek
    You're absolutely too kind!
    I don't know what to say.
[09:51] Pas
    To celebrate the occasion,
    I briefly borrowed your kitchen.
[09:56] Pas
    Might I reveal my creation?
[09:57] Hubarek
    But of course!
[10:29] Squale
    Is that...
[10:32] Hubarek
    I can smell it from here!
    What a wonderful aroma!
[10:35] Noble 4
    Is that a baked dessert?
[10:38] Lady
    I've never seen anything like it!
[10:46] Pas
    If you would, Lord Squale.
[10:57] Squale
    That reddish-brown stuff on top...
[10:59] Squale
    Some kind of fruit?
[11:02] Squale
    What is this called?
[11:04] Pas
    Tarte Tatin.
[11:06] Squale
    Tarte... Tatin?
[11:08] Pas
    It's a baked dessert made from bonkas.
[11:10] Pas
    I made it for you.
[11:14] Squale
    This part on top... it's bonkas?
[11:17] Squale
    Baked bonkas?
[11:19] Pas
    Yes.
[11:20] Pas
    Nicolo, bring the tarte Tatin
    in the kitchen for the others.
[11:24] Nicolo
    Yes, milord.
[11:27] Squale
    The fresh, sweet aroma of bonkas...
[11:29] Squale
    The stimulating aroma of
    a freshly-baked crust...
[11:33] Squale
    I can't help
[11:35] Squale
    but feel hungry for that.
[11:42] Squale
    These are... bonkas?
[11:44] Squale
    It's so delicious!
[11:46] Pas
    The application of heat gives depth to the
    tartness and concentrates the sweetness.
[11:51] Pas
    The crispness of the surface,
[11:54] Pas
    the creaminess of the bonkas,
[11:56] Pas
    and the crunchiness of the tart crust...
[11:58] Pas
    The contrast between them is
    what makes it an amazing dish!
[12:01] Squale
    I've never had such a
    delicious dessert before.
[12:04] Pas
    I'm honored.
[12:06] Squale
    Why is it called "tarte Tatin"?
[12:08] Pas
    They say it comes from the master
    tart-makers, the Tatin sisters.
[12:13] Squale
    Tatin sisters?
[12:15] Pas
    Typically with tarts, you put fruit
    on top of the crust and bake.
[12:20] Pas
    But one day, they forgot to
    put the crust into the mold,
[12:24] Pas
    and ended up just baking the fruit.
[12:27] Pas
    With no other choice,
[12:28] Pas
    the sisters laid the crust on the
    half-baked fruit and let it finish.
[12:33] Pas
    This tarte Tatin was the result.
[12:36] Squale
    That's where it comes from?
[12:38] Pas
    In other words, tarte Tatin comes
    from a failure at making tarts.
[12:46] Squale
    A... failure?
[12:50] Pas
    But I think this dessert is a
    wonderful, miraculous thing.
[12:56] Squale
    Miraculous?
[12:58] Pas
    Had the Tatin Sisters,
    upon realizing their failure,
[13:00] Pas
    simply thrown out the
    fruit and started again,
[13:04] Pas
    we might never have had tarte Tatin.
[13:08] Pas
    A treat that most would've just thrown out...
[13:11] Pas
    But because the sisters refused
    to let failure be the last word,
[13:16] Pas
    we can enjoy its deliciousness now.
[13:19] Squale
    Refused... to let failure be the last word?
[13:23] Pas
    Whenever I mess up a sweet I'm making,
[13:27] Pas
    I think back on the tarte Tatin.
[13:29] Pas
    Failure isn't a waste at all.
[13:32] Pas
    The important thing is that, even if you fail,
[13:35] Pas
    you keep looking forward and working hard.
[13:38] Kadlecek
    For the next heir to the Kadlecek name,
    failure is unacceptable!
[13:43] (Flashback) Kadlecek
    Never show weakness!
[13:45] (Flashback) Kadlecek
    Remember, you are a leader!
[13:48] Squale
    But... my failures aren't
    like most people's failures.
[13:53] Petra
    You didn't fail, Lord Squale!
[13:57] Petra
    Have you forgotten?
[13:59] Petra
    What I said to you before you departed...
[14:04] Petra
    Please, return to me safely!
[14:09] Petra
    You kept your word to me.
[14:13] Squale
    But... the only reason I made it back safe
[14:17] Squale
    is because of the sacrifice
    of those under my leadership.
[14:20] Squale
    I just feel... so awful for them.
[14:23] Pas
    Isn't that how a leader should feel?
[14:29] Petra
    Instead of celebrating the
    victory your first campaign,
[14:33] Petra
    you're thinking about the
    men who died for you.
[14:37] Petra
    I'm proud of you for your modesty.
[14:43] Squale
    Lady Petra...
[14:46] Petra
    Nothing could make me happier
    than having you back safely.
[15:02] Squale
    Thank you, Lady Petra.
[15:07] Squale
    Thank you, Lord Pastry.
[15:10] Squale
    I'm going to become a stronger man.
[15:13] Squale
    I won't let this failure be in vain.
[15:16] Pas
    Lord Squale...
[15:20] Squale
    Do you think... I can have another
    piece of the tarte Tatin?
[15:23] Pas
    Of course!
[15:26] Squale
    Lady Petra, would you like to enjoy this
    with me in a sunny part of the gardens?
[15:31] Petra
    Yes.
[15:34] Casserole
    He seems to be in better spirits.
[15:36] Pas
    Yes!
[15:38] Casserole
    The trauma of a first campaign is something
    you have to overcome on your own.
[15:43] Hubarek
    I went through the same thing as a young man.
[15:46] Pas
    Yes, that's right.
[15:48] Pas
    I had many struggles
    myself when I was young!
[15:51] Hubarek
    Oh, heavens...
[15:53] Hubarek
    Still, Lord Pastry, I must
     offer you my thanks.
[15:57] Hubarek
    If there's anything you wish, simply name it!
[16:01] Pas
    Anything?!
[16:03] Pas
    But what I want...
[16:05] Pas
    What I need to make my land of sweets...
[16:11] Pas
    Your Lordship, there's something
     I want very much!
[16:21] Licorice
    Welcome home, Pas!
[16:24] Pas
    Yes, I've returned!
[16:26] Marc
    Look at all that stuff!
[16:28] Lumi
    Are they merchants now?
[16:30] Pas
    Expressions of gratitude from Lord Hubarek.
[16:32] Licorice
    I'm so glad you're safe!
[16:35] Pas
    And your father gave me a letter for you!
[16:38] Licorice
    Oh!
[16:39] Licorice
    Thank you so much!
[16:42] Feuille
    "Work the negotiations to our benefit"?
[16:45] Feuille
    Is that why the boss
    stayed in the margravate?
[16:49] Pas
    Yes.
[16:51] (Flashback) Casserole
    I'm going to make Baron Lunzvage
    pay for picking my pocket!
[16:56] Pas
    He seemed pretty worked up.
[16:59] Feuille
    Like father, like son, huh?
[17:02] Pas
    After all, this was all started
    with the baron buying up my goats
[17:08] Pas
    while claiming he needed them as war provisions!
[17:12] Pas
    I'm sure he won't complain if we buy
    up all the materials and livestock
[17:15] Pas
    he was going to get in turn!
[17:17] Feuille
    Buy them up?
[17:19] Pas
    After all, Morteln contributed
    the most to the campaign,
[17:24] Pas
    so letting bygones be bygones with
    double what he took from us
[17:27] Pas
    should help with other negotiations.
[17:32] Feuille
    That's a scary expression!
[17:34] Pas
    Of course, it's up to Father—
[17:37] Casserole
    Negotiations are complete.
[17:38] Pas
    Father!
[17:39] Feuille
    That was fast!
[17:40] Casserole
    C'mon.
[17:42] Casserole
    We're heading right back.
[17:43] Pas
    What? Why?!
[17:45] Casserole
    It's going to take forever
    with my teleportation alone.
[17:48] Casserole
    It'll be faster if you replicate
    my magic and help carry it.
[17:52] Pas
    I-Is there that much?
[17:54] Pas
    Just what did you negotiate?
[18:03] Feuille
    Wh-Wh...
[18:05] Feuille
    What the heck is all this?!
[18:08] Feuille
    Boss! This is way too much!
[18:12] Casserole
    Look at these fine horses!
[18:13] Casserole
    They were going through checks
    before being shipped out,
[18:17] Casserole
    but I insisted they be sold to us before
    they were given to Baron Lunzvage.
[18:22] Feuille
    An eye for an eye?
[18:24] Casserole
    Apparently the baron paid a
    great amount of money in advance
[18:27] Casserole
    to have them raised from foals.
[18:30] Casserole
    To have a low-ranked noble
    swipe them from him...
[18:34] Casserole
    He's probably writhing
    in frustration about now.
[18:37] Feuille
    Boss, your face looks even
     scarier than the kid's.
[18:44] Lumi
    Hey, is this one of those wine things?
[18:47] Marc
    A juicer?
[18:50] Pas
    The more you turn this crank,
[18:52] Pas
    the more the fruit inside gets crushed,
[18:54] Pas
    and it forces the juice out.
[18:57] Pas
    Let's try it out!
[19:12] Pas
    Mother? You called?
[19:15] Agnes
    You need to go to the royal
    capital with Casserole!
[19:19] Pas
    The royal capital?
[19:20] Licorice
    The truth is,
[19:21] Licorice
    my father's letter was inviting
[19:24] Licorice
    Petra and me to the royal
    capital at the end of summer.
[19:28] Licorice
    But I couldn't choose what to wear,
    so I wanted everyone's opinions...
[19:32] Agnes
    So we got together all the
    clothing in the house, but...
[19:36] Josephine
    None of them seem just right!
[19:41] Josephine
    I think we might have
    to prepare a new outfit,
[19:44] Josephine
    but there's no dressmaker in our fief
    worthy of clothing a noblewoman!
[19:48] Pas
    You want to use a dressmaker
    in the capital, then?
[19:51] Agnes
    We'd like you to order a
    dress in Licorice's size.
[19:54] Agnes
    If we can just get the basic form made,
[19:57] Agnes
    we can embellish it on our own here.
[19:59] Pas
    Can't Father handle that on his own?
[20:02] Agnes
    Absolutely not!
[20:03] Agnes
    Licorice doesn't want some
    man to know her dress size!
[20:07] Pas
    I'm a man, too...
[20:09] Josephine
    Silence! You're her fiancé!
[20:12] Agnes
    Right, Licorice, dear?
[20:14] Licorice
    It's all right if... Pas knows.
[20:17] Agnes/Josephine
    Goodness!
[20:20] Pas
    R-Right!
[20:22] Pas
    She's my fiancée, after all...
[20:24] Agnes/Josephine
    That's right!
[22:04] Licorice
    Father, are you well?
[22:08] Licorice
    It's been a month since
    my arrival in Morteln.
[22:11] Licorice
    Are you baking something?
[22:14] Pas
    It's what you've been waiting for.
[22:19] Licorice
    It smells wonderful!
[22:21] Pas
    Cheesecake made from goat's milk.
[22:25] Licorice
    This is it?!
[22:27] Licorice
    The sweets that Pas makes are like magic!
SIGN    SNORE
[22:34] Pas
    Hey!
[22:36] Pas
    Sister!
[22:37] Pas
    Everyone's waiting!
[22:40] Josephine
    Pas?
[22:41] Josephine
    Don't be such a brat.
[22:43] Josephine
    I can eat the cake here!
[22:45] Josephine
    Just bring i—
[22:46] Josephine
    Oh! Oh no! Lico?!
[22:48] Josephine
    How long were you watching?!
[22:50] Pas
    Since you were asleep.
[22:55] Licorice
    Everyone's being so kind to me.
[22:58] Licorice
    I'm having great fun every day.
[23:01] Licorice
    Regards, Licorice.
[23:03] Hubarek
    Oh, but I miss her!
[23:08] Licorice
    Pas, what are you making today?
[23:14] Licorice
    Oh, that sounds delicious!
[23:15] Pas
    You can get your hopes up.
[23:18] Licorice
    I will!
