[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?
[19:40] Pas
    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!
[22:00] Pas
    This world's very own land of sweets!
[23:37] Pas
    Next time on Sweet Reincarnation...
