[00:10] Pas
    I'm glad you're safe, Lord Squale!
[00:14] Pas
    It's been a while.
[00:16] Pas
    We heard about your first deployment
    and came to lend a hand!
[00:19] Pas
    Now...
[00:22] Pas
    Let's return with tidings of victory!
SIGN    Sweet Reincarnation
[01:58] Casserole
    I'm so glad you're safe, Lord Squale.
[02:02] Squale
    You saved me in my hour of need...
[02:05] Squale
    There are no words to express my gratitude.
SIGN    The Flavor of Consolation: Tarte Tatin
[02:14] Lutoroute
    House Morteln?!
[02:16] Lutoroute
    Wretched Hubarek...
[02:18] Lutoroute
    He's even tamed a monster like that?
[02:21] Retainer A
    With Morteln at their side,
[02:24] Retainer A
    there's a chance Duke Kadlecek might
    send reinforcements after all.
[02:31] Retainer A
    Should we withdraw our soldiers?
[02:39] Lutoroute
    Blast them all!
[02:43] Hubarek
    Lord Squale, I'm so glad you're safe.
[02:46] Hubarek
    I was beside myself with worry
    over my dear son-in-law.
[02:51] Hubarek
    I'm so sorry.
[02:52] Hubarek
    My lack of due diligence
    placed you in grave danger.
[02:57] Squale
    The fault is not yours.
[02:59] Hubarek
    And the two of you, I'm in your debt.
[03:01] Hubarek
    You have my fondest gratitude!
[03:04] Casserole
    Lord Squale performed splendidly.
[03:07] Casserole
    Even surrounded by enemies,
    he refused to yield.
[03:10] Casserole
    He was determined to fight his way out.
[03:14] Squale
    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.
[03:40] Hubarek
    You seem rather tired.
[03:42] Hubarek
    It's understandable.
[03:44] Hubarek
    You should rest for a while.
[03:46] Squale
    I'll do that.
[03:51] Petra
    Lord Squale!
[03:52] Petra
    I'm so glad!
[03:53] Petra
    You weren't hurt, were you?
[03:56] Squale
    I appreciate your concern,
[03:59] Squale
    but no more than scratches, I assure you.
[04:02] Petra
    I'm truly glad you're safe.
[04:10] Petra
    Lord Squale?
[04:14] Squale
    I'm tired. We'll speak later.
[04:17] Petra
    Then shall I show you to your room?
[04:19] Squale
    I'm sorry.
[04:20] Squale
    Please, let me be alone.
[04:24] Petra
    Lord Squale?!
[04:27] Hubarek
    I'm worried about the boy.
[04:30] Casserole
    Those with a painful first deployment
[04:32] Casserole
    sometimes find themselves crushed
    under the weight of the trauma.
[04:37] Hubarek
    It does seem to have been difficult for him.
[04:41] Casserole
    It was.
[04:42] Casserole
    Of course,
[04:43] Casserole
    for the heir to the ducal house that
    oversees the royal capital's military,
[04:46] Casserole
    it's a necessary experience, but...
[04:53] Petra
    But... that expression of his...
[04:57] Petra
    I've never seen him like that before.
[05:02] Petra
    What can I possibly do to aid him?
[05:07] Petra
    Isn't there any way that I can comfort him?
[05:14] Casserole
    Pas.
[05:15] Casserole
    When we defeated those bandits,
    and Marc made his mistake,
[05:19] Casserole
    I recall you finding a way to comfort him.
[05:23] Pas
    Oh... when I made the bonka pie?
[05:27] Casserole
    You're close in age to Lord Squale as well.
[05:30] Casserole
    Can you handle this?
[05:32] Pas
    Me?
[05:34] Petra
    Please, Lord Pastry.
[05:37] Pas
    R-Right...
[05:39] Pas
    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!
