[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
