[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...
