[00:02] Pas
    You'll be safe.
[00:04] Pas
    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.
[02:12] Pas
    Welcome to the royal capital!
[02:17] Narrator
    This is the tale of a genius patissier
    who died before his time,
[02:22] Narrator
    and was reincarnated as the son
    of a poor noble in another world
[02:26] Narrator
    to pursue a world full
    of desserts and smiles.
[02:30] Narrator
    It's a tale that is at once cold
    and unsparing, and syrupy sweet.
[02:36] Narrator
    His dream is to create this
    world's very own land of sweets!
SIGN    Sweet Reincarnation
SIGN    Schemes and Frothy Hearts
[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
