He is the main character of this work. A promising pastry chef meets his demise and leaves the world without ever having achieved his dream of making the world's greatest pastry. But when he is given another chance, he reincarnates as nine-year-old pastry chef Mille Morteln, determined to be successful this second time. He is the eldest son of Knight Morteln; his nickname is Pace. The memory of the previous life, the magic, and the passion for sweets have caused turmoil in the Kingdom of Proulich.

His life would not be as sweet as his treats, though, as he encountered unfamiliar hardships in the magical world. To get one step closer to his lifelong desire, Pastry must learn how to fight, utilizing his confectionary knowledge and discovering magic along the way.

Fortunately, pastry achievements and Casserole's pro-fool have been the driving forces behind the development of the Morterln territory. This allows Casserole to concentrate on military affairs and diplomacy, and Pastry works on behalf of the lord to manage the territory. Pastries have become able to use the magic of "***transcription***/***Copy***" by performing an adult ceremony at the age of 7 to secure their strength to maintain the security of their territory.

### Abilities

> "*I want to fill this world with sweets, and bring smiles to everyone's faces!
> I want to make the world's best sweets! that must be the reason I was born into this world!
> To create this world's... This world's very own land of sweet!!* "

As he was reincarnated and maintained his memory from his past life, Pastry has a large amount of mana capacity. This magic allows the user to **Copy** (imitations, copies, and replications) other Magic spells at will and even copy objects or non-objects (Elements or non-elements). In order for the Pastry to use other magic spells, they are first required to be able to see the Pastry. The Magic spells that are copied by Pastry are able to match those of the original owner.

* By applying this, it is possible to copy wounds and transfer the damage to multiple opponents, or copy and use other people's magic, but it is not possible to transfer things that have never been seen. It can only be used once, but once a certain magic has been copied, it can be copied again.
* This magic can be beyond the user's knowledge; it can copy or imitate others' movements or techniques in battle. The imitation does not have to be completely like the one it resembles; it can be partial as well.
	+ which allows Pastry to replicate the scenery like a camera in the paper.

> "*I thought sweets were the only thinking I'd ever have to think about. But in this world. the only way to make my dream come true is to protect our fief. And I will make it come true!!
> To protect these people, and bring smile to their faces ─ That's what my dream means. That's what a land of sweets means!!*"

Due to his forced training with his father in swordsmanship, Pace could wield a sword and fight in combat. Pace takes action and observes the opponent's goal in order to decide whether engaging them is the best course of action or if they are an "*enemy that must be battled*", This method Pace uses in combat has the highest chance of winning. Pace can lead an army on his own at the age of 7, creating a plan and tactics that are not used for one-on-one combat situations but for battles where many are mobilized.

Pace has an absurd understanding and great logical reasoning when grasping the situation he is in. He was also a very skilled pastry chef (*world*-*class Pastry Chef)* in his past life, and because of his hobby, he became devoted to making sweets. Because of his sweets, he made it used to attract powerful people in order to achieve smooth political negotiations.
