English Dub Review: Sugar Apple Fairy Tale “Ghosts Aren’t Scary”

Overview

To preserve the peace of Holly Leaf Castle, Mithril Lid Pod organizes a ghost hunt with himself as leader. That night, Challe captures the ghost who, as it turns out, has a deep connection to the castle and is determined to protect it.


Our Take

The next day, Mithril decides to solve the mystery of the ghosts since the artisans are unable to focus. At night, Anne encounters the ghost, who is actually the fairy Noah belonging to the former head of House Chamber, Lord Herbert Chamber. House Chamber went to war with the Millsland royal family and lost, leading to the castle being annexed by Millsland and was stripped down afterwards after being donated to the Saint Lewiston Bell Church. Noah was ordered by Herbert to protect the castle until he returns. When Mithril tells him he’s dead, Noah refuses to believe this and is adamant about waiting for him despite that he’s never coming back.

Elsewhere, Anne is met by Gladus, who shows to be very interested in her. Anne quickly leaves as Challe witnessed this. Gladus tells Challe that that he knows about the place where Challe comes from, making Challe wonder who Gladus really is. Coming to the conclusion that Herbert wanted Noah to leave and that Noah has not eaten for 15 years, Anne feeds him a silver sugar confection hoping to get him to listen. Challe tells Anne he will be watching Noah as Anne falls asleep having a dream of the times Noah had with Herbert. When Herbert left the castle for good, he told Herbert to protect the castle and not eat anything other than what Herbert gave him. Later that night, an unexpected rainstorm arrives, and the artisans suffer a setback with an unexpected blunder…

Overall, this was a compelling backstory for Noah the ghost in the mansion which is actually a fairy anne wants to help him but more hindrances come in their way of sugar crafting. Also, Challe tried to deny his feelings for Anne but it was written all over his face. And finally kissed Anne on the cheek but still made her bright red. Aside from that, Ann now has so many things to deal with on her hands… helping/freeing Noah, being careful around Gladice and now the main thing she has to worry about, making silver sugar sculptures which remains to be seen if it’ll happen…
