Episode 2 begins with the ominous scene of bandits attacking a nearby village and planning to move on to Morteln. Meanwhile, Pas and his father Casserole prepare their defenses when they receive the troubling news that the bandits are advancing faster than expected.

Faced with the impending threat, Casserole calls a meeting with the village leaders, including the followers Cointreau and Glacage. Pas, determined to protect his homeland and his dream of turning it into a dessert paradise, also participates in this strategy session.

In response to the looming crisis, Casserole devises a tactical plan. They blockade the two smaller villages, empty their wells, clear their houses and fields, and relocate the inhabitants to the main village. The idea is to concentrate the population to create an attractive target and avoid direct confrontations with the bandits. However, they are also aware that their defense forces, mostly consisting of untrained farmers, could easily be overwhelmed in a prolonged battle.

During this time, Marc and Lumi, childhood friends, pledge their support and swear to assist Pas as his lieutenants—a gesture stemming from their fathers' long-standing loyalty to the lord. Although somewhat uncomfortable with their formality, Pas accepts their help, tasks them with gathering throwing stones, and instructs them to retreat upon spotting or hearing anything unusual.

After completing their task, Marc and Lumi discuss Pas's mysterious magic. Their conversation is interrupted by a suspicious noise, signaling the possible arrival of the bandits.

Casserole and Feuille conduct a reconnaissance mission to assess the bandits' strength and discover around seventy former cavalrymen—a terrifying revelation. Undeterred, they stick to their plan and launch a guerrilla attack to delay the bandits and buy some time for the villagers.

Back in Morteln, Pas continues organizing the defenses. He instructs the villagers to use flaming arrows to improve communication and disrupt the bandits' advance.

When the bandits finally arrive, the children disrupt their formation with their slingshots, allowing Casserole and Feuille to escape their pursuers. However, one bandit breaks through the village's defenses and threatens the children. Here, Pas's unique ability comes into play: he can transfer physical sensations from one person to another. Using this power, Pas incapacitates the bandit by making him feel the pain of one of his injured comrades. At the end of the episode, Pas tells the bandit that he is not a magician but a patissier—hinting at what’s to come in future episodes.
