Huh?
There you go... There you go...
We're going to pick some fruit.
Right!
We're finally at the end of our tour of the Sweets Kingdom.
We've all gotten used to traveling together by now.
Who was it that tripped?
But, see this thing I tripped over?
A potato?
And here!
What's going on here?
And another one!
There are onions, too.
Look! It's a doll made of vegetables!
Wow, amazing! Let's bring it back and we can all eat it!
Doesn't this seem suspicious?
But look at its happy smile!
I think it's asking us to eat it!
Thanks for the food!
These vegetables... Aren't they...
We found them in the bushes over there.
Vegetables, in the Baum Forest?
Well, they taste good, so what does it matter?
I call seconds on soup!
Everyone, after we're done eating, we're heading to the Egg Home!
And that'll be the final ingredient to get.
Keep your spirits up!
Yeah!
What is, what is? What is love?
Could it be starting? Sweet romance.
Popping into my head over and over again.
I keep thinking of you.
When I'm asleep and when I'm awake.
Why am I so obsessed? Endless play.
Because I can't tell anyone
my feelings are on silent mode.
So it's bitter & sweet!
Baby baby! Each time our eyes meet
this pain in my chest keeps getting worse...
I don't understand!
Tell me, tell me! Why do I feel
like the the distance between us is slowly changing?
Help me, help me! There's no turning back.
But where should I be heading to?
What is, what is? What is love?
Start the countdown. Three, two, one!
This is probably it!? Sweet romance!
So, this is the Egg Home?
Okay, let's go, everyone!
Yeah!
Pardon us...
It's so big!
We're finally here, Kasshi...
Yeah!
I'll show Ma that I can do it when I try!
So... Where exactly are the eggs?
True...
I don't really see anything that looks like an egg around here.
They're probably... up top?
Probably?
That's quite an "about" way of putting it!
It's not like I've ever been here before!
How the heck should I know?
Actually, everyone has been to this place in their past.
But you probably don't remember.
Who's the old dude?
I am the director of the Egg Home!
Seriously?
Then that makes things easy! We came here to get eggs!
Please give us the highest-quality eggs, perfect for making sweets!
You've got to have really awesome eggs that you can only get by coming here, right?
We'd really like to use them for tomorrow's Pâtissier Advancement Exam.
I see.
Here we have assembled eggs suitable for omrice, fried eggs,
rice with egg on top, boiled eggs... eggs for every type of cooking.
And of course, we have those eggs perfect for making sweets that you are looking for.
Now, come with me.
The Treasure Found on the Journey.
Whoa!
Look at all the eggs!
All the eggs used in the kingdom are produced here,
and travel along underground pipes to the city.
I had no idea.
By the way...
This building has another important function other than producing delicious eggs...
Are you aware?
Another important function?
What is it?
I haven't heard anything...
I see...
I suppose this is something you learn about when you're a bit older.
Well, since you came all the way here, let me explain to you in the lower chamber.
W-W-Wait a sec!
Sorry, but we're, like, totally in a hurry today.
Maybe we can save the long-winded stories for another time?
I was kind of hoping you'd just give us the eggs, nice and quick...
Now, now... There's no harm in listening.
Come with me.
Kasshi... We should just do what he wants.
That's right. If we get him annoyed, and he won't give us the eggs...
Fine then.
Is everyone here?
This is a mysterious room.
This is a holy place know as the "Chamber of Trials."
Chamber of Trials?
Why? What's the bridge for?
You go through here, right?
Hey! Don't touch that door!
Don't you see those big "No Children Allowed" marks?
This Egg Home is also where couples who wish to have a child get their eggs.
Wait, that means Spirits are born from eggs?
In other words, it's like this.
When there's a couple that's thinking "Oh, we think it's about time to have a child..."
Hey! Why is it me and Kasshi?
Now, now...
"We must have a child!" When a couple thinks that, they enter the Chamber of Trials.
Then, the couple crosses the long suspension bridge to the other side,
watching out for each other.
They spend one week together on the uninhabited island on the other side.
They use the power of the love between them to get through such an extreme situation.
Then the two, having safely passed the Week of Trials, return across the bridge,
kneel before the alter, and pray to the God of Eggs.
Wow... And then they finally get an egg, right?
Far from it.
Unfortunately, even if you pass the trials, that doesn't mean you will receive an egg.
Look outside.
This is the fifth time that couple has taken the challenge.
But they ended up empty-handed again this time.
Aww...
That seems a bit stingy.
Yes, indeed...
Obtaining a precious life is not so simple a task.
That couple is sure to come back again.
There is no stronger feeling than the wish
to embrace your very own egg, no matter how hard the trial.
I am sure that you were all born from your own parents' strong love.
Make sure you don't forget that.
My mom doesn't come home much, but when she does, she always makes me a great big pudding!
In my hometown, they be greetin' me with a fresh cherry pie!
My papa prepares me so many presents that I can't even hold them all!
At my place, um...
...they hug me a whole lot!
There are a lot of children who live apart from their parents at a young age,
but even if you live apart, the bonds do not weaken.
That's what it means to be parent and child.
Here, take them.
These are what you wanted... the best quality eggs, perfect for making sweets.
Do your best on tomorrow's exam.
We will! Thank you very much!
Thanks for your help!
I'm beat...
Man... Traveling around the Sweets Kingdom like that...
It really got our creative juices pumping!
And we also collected a bunch of top-class ingredients!
Anyway, we really thank you for tagging along with us.
But the real trial begins now.
What dessert are you going to use to express the Sweets Kingdom?
In that case, how about I become your special advisor?
No thank you.
Why not?
The exam tomorrow is to test our own skills!
So the three of us have to come up with the subject... Andy, Narci, and myself!
I see.
That's right.
And so...
No one is allowed in this hut, starting now!
You handle things out here.
Later!
Hey!
We came all this way together! Why are you treating us like this?
Hey now... Don't get in their way.
Don't worry. Let's believe in them!
Huh?
Another potato?
I'm going to take a look.
Sheesh... Don't scare me like that!
I'll teach you about this potato magic!
We made some dinner for you...
Yum!
So? Are things going well?
We feel like we're pretty close to passing...
But Kasshi doesn't think it's good enough.
It's hard for me to put into words,
but it's just not expressing the Sweets Kingdom to me yet...
Kasshi...
Who do you think made that minestrone?
It was your mom, Kasshi.
She was here just a moment ago.
But she said that she'd get in the way of your exam if she stayed.
Why was Ma...
You really don't understand your mother's feelings.
It was your mommy who convinced the Master of the Forest to taste the cake!
She was also the one who spread vegetables out for us,
and the one that made this delicious minestrone.
It was all your mommy, Kasshi.
I've been going around and about, right?
I was tracking your mommy the whole time!
But, why?
It's true that your mom said...
Enough worryin' about being some pâtissier.
I'm always tellin' ya... Y'should come back to the farm, Kassh'!
...before.
But that was because she didn't want
to put any pressure on you to pass the advancement exam.
Your mother wants you to do what you please, just as she cares for the vegetables she raises.
That's what I think.
Ma...
Finally, it's the day of the advancement exam.
Good luck, everyone!
You'd better pass it this time, or else!
We collected this butter in the Oily Jungle, bit by bit...
What a deep, rich, powerful aroma!
Sift the flour and sugar...
Johnny's driving sure made things scary in the Powder Dessert.
We journeyed, and met many people.
We experienced quite a lot.
I love this Sweets Kingdom!
I'm going to take those feelings, and put them all into this dish!
That's the pound cake we made in the Baum Forest!
This is because we were saved by that pound cake.
So we're making it out of thanks, and finishing it up with our own twist!
Mother?
Unbelievable!
I thought you would come.
Kasshi is working really hard!
Come on inside, and cheer with us for them!
But in these clothes... I really couldn't...
After coming all this way? What are you saying?
If he doesn't pass, my own future is in peril, you know!
Running a farm isn't easy, you know...
Finally, it's time for the judging.
I'm really nervous.
Yeah.
I'm shaking...
Go get 'em!
Kassh', And', Narc'!
M-Ma?
The pâtissier test ain't nothin' 'tall!
Don't be worried, y'all be fine!
Heck yeah! Piece of cake!
The judging began.
It was a lot harsher than we had imagined.
If even one of the proctors said no, you were out.
You'd fail the exam.
Yes!
And so, Kasshi and the others got through to the final judging round.
Now, we will judge the taste.
Delicious!
This taste is the Baum Forest itself!
It goes flawlessly with this perfectly whipped fluffy milk cream!
This gelato is excellent, and the texture with the small ice crystals is exquisite!
And what's this mountain?
Is this sweet potato?
Yes!
I feel like the sweet potato is a bit off from the theme of the Sweets Kingdom.
I really can't get away from the image of a sweet potato being a home garden vegetable.
Is it really something that belongs on this plate?
Yesterday, when we were making this, it did occur to me...
I thought, maybe sweet potato doesn't fit such a fancy plate as this.
But to me, the vegetables that my Ma devotes herself to growing are the best.
What is that boy of mine sayin'?
So that's why it has to be in a plate representing the flavor of the Sweets Kingdom!
No matter what score you give, I'm satisfied with this!
Kasshi...
This is a problem...
We have no choice but to lower the score if the dish strays from the theme...
Then you shall let me make that decision.
This is, indeed, a side dish one would have at home.
And yet, it is the flavor of tradition that supports the citizens of this kingdom every day.
It is worthy to be called a flavor of the Sweets Kingdom.
You pass.
All right!
We did it!
You're not going to the human world?
Kassh'... Don't you be worryin' about me now.
That ain't it!
We were thinkin' about starting a shop here in the Sweets Kingdom!
A shop?
Right. A vegetable sweets shop.
We'll use the vegetables Ma grows, and sell healthy and delicious sweets!
What're ya talkin' 'bout!
What happened to yer dream of bein' a Court Pâtissier?
If I became a Court Pâtissier, you wouldn't have to work so hard.
Every day you get covered in dirt, Ma...
I thought I could make you happy that way...
But I was a fool for tryin' to take away your job you love, raisin' vegetables!
Kassh'...
So instead, I'll take the vegetables you love,
and make a shop that'll get even more people to eat them!
That's what I think!
We're fans of your vegetables, too.
We're thinking we'd help with the shop.
A vegetable sweets shop, huh?
Sounds like fun!
I gotcha!
Then Ma here better work even harder raisin' those veggies!
Gotta make 'em really delicious!
And so, our Sweets Kingdom Tour ended.
I believe that the things we learned on this tour will be important for us one day.
Hurry hurry up! Come on, hurry!
Honey honey time! There's oodles of it!
Untie your heart's ribbon, and shooby dooby sweets!
The dream begins.
Sowa sowa sowa, so-waffle wonderful.
1, 2, 3 Ichigo, go, go! Let's go!
With you around my feelings caramelize.
I get up, get going, get psyched.
One step, two step, clear the area in a heartbeat.
Hallelujah, reach them, my love! Heart mark.
In the important times, especially, I give you my love.
The power to believe, my smile is my friend.
Today I recommend the "Home Made Happy"!
Hurry hurry up! Come on, hurry!
Honey honey time! There's oodles of it!
Untie your heart's ribbon, and shooby dooby sweets!
The dream begins.
Sowa sowa sowa, so-waffle wonderful.
1, 2, 3 Ichigo, go, go! Let's go!
Smile-link-smile, spinning miracle beautiful.
The wind whipping through the skyscrapers blows away even my heart.
In this vast city, all I have is myself.
Henri-sensei... Am I not good enough?
Next time: Lonely Heart.
Won't you have some of my dream-colored sweets?
Amano-san, why are you here?
