Dreaming of a Land of Sweets
Episode Description:

Full of regret he never became the worlds greatest sweet maker he is given a second chance by a goddess who reincarnates him into an alternate world as Pastry Mille Morteln, son of minor lord Casserole and his wife Agnes. Pastry retains his passion for sweets but their farmlands can only produce wheat and barley, and sugar is an expensive luxury. By improving farming techniques Pastry hopes he can bring about a dessert renaissance in his new world. Bandits threaten their farms so Casserole decides Pastry will undergo Sanctification, a religious ceremony to unlock his magical powers. Travelling to the capital Pastry sees for the first time this world’s fruits and exotic foods and is determined to achieve his dream. During Sanctification Pastry is denied all sensory stimulation for 48 hours, which he endures by imagining all the desserts he will create, and unlocks a powerful magic ability called Replication. Casserole makes a donation to the church but the greedy priest, who secretly despises Casserole for earning his lordship through military victories instead of noble birth, is unsatisfied with the amount and decides to sell information about Pastry’s abilities to whoever can afford it.
