Character
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
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.
