===Opening===
こんにちわー！

ブラブラお宝発掘隊のまっつんです。

今月は無事に皆様にお届けできるかというと……セーフ！セーフでございます！

いやー、連載を開始したのはいいものの、ここ最近の社内の忙しさを考えるといきなり連載ストップもありえる状況でしたからね。

前回のお話を忘れた方は、こちらからどうぞ。

'''>>宇宙の騎士第１話へ'''

思い出しましたか？それでは、宇宙の騎士第２話のスタートです！

Hellooo!

I'm [[Mattsun]] of the [[Brownie Brown|BB]] excavation team!

We can say with confidence that this month's issue can be brought to you...safely, ladies and gents! Super duper safe!

Weeeell, it's great that the serialization has begun, but considering how busy the company's been lately, there may come a situation where it could suddenly stop.

If you've forgotten the previous story, please click here.

'''>>[[Uchū no Kishi/Part 1]]'''

Got it memorized? If so, let's start Part Two!

===Ending===
宇宙の騎士　第２話は、いかがでしたでしょうか？

見覚えのあるキャラクターたちが次々登場しましたね！彼らとの冒険の日々を思い出します…。

いや～、これからの展開にワクワクが止まりません！

”羊”の破壊に向かったはずのヴァニラの運命は？

”羊”とはいったいなんなのか？

魔法学校の生徒たちは何を見るのか？

ますます目が離せない宇宙の騎士！それでは、また来月！

楽しみに待っててくださいねっ。

…うちの慎太さんの遅筆だけが心配であります…。

How was ''Uchū no Kishi'' Part Two?

Familiar characters have been popping up one after another! I remember the days when I adventured with them...

Man, I can't stop getting excited about what's to come!

Now what exactly is this [[The Sheep|"Sheep"]]?

What is the fate of [[Vanilla]], who was sent out to destroy this "Sheep"?

What will the students of the [[Magic Academy]] see?

I can't take my eyes off ''Uchū no Kishi''! See you next month!

Please look forward to it.

...I'm only worried about [[Shinichi Kameoka|Shinta-san]]'s sluggish writing...

The '''protagonist''' is the main character of ''[[Magical Vacation]]''. At age 14, they are a student at [[Will-o'-Wisp Academy]] in [[Kovomaka Kingdom]] born with the power to see and talk to [[Spirit (Magical Vacation)|spirit]]s. After arriving at the [[Valencia Beach]] Seaside School, the protagonist's [[party (Magical Vacation)|class]] is attacked by [[enigma]]s and transported to another [[plane]] of reality. Lost in this new world, the protagonist must reunite with their classmates, uncover the enigmas' goals, and find a way back home.

The hero is known as '''Mash''', while the heroine is known as '''Mallow''', and their gender and spirit attribute are chosen at the start of the game. These choices affect how their combat stats develop, the spells they can learn, and which attributes they resist.

Outside of the [[Magical Vacation (series)|''Magical Vacation'' series]], they both appear as Stickers in ''[[smashwiki:Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' under the names '''Boy''' and '''Girl''', and as a single Spirit in ''[[smashwiki:Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' conjointly named the '''Magical Vacation Protagonists'''.

==Profile==
The protagonist's personality is meant to be represented by the player, whose thoughts shape their role in the story. Mash is described as being a taciturn, sincere, and reliable boy with a unique charm that brings people together. Mallow, on the other hand, is a favorite amongst the students, and acts as a peacekeeper for her classmates.<ref name="MVCG167">{{Cite Book|MVCG|167}}</ref> Both Mash and Mallow love befriending people and [[Spirit (Magical Vacation)|spirit]]s.

Mash is a young boy with curly brown hair and teal eyes. He sports a big cream-colored hat and robe, decorated with geometric patterns and blue hems. He also wears a red neckerchief, patterned cloth beneath his jacket, a striped rope belt, purple pants with red buttons, and brown boots.

In his light clothes, Mash dons a yellow headband with a robe along the back, as well as layers of garments colored blue, orange, and purple. His arms are equipped with gold cuffs and violet sleeves.

Mallow is a posh girl with curly blonde hair and violet eyes. She wears a large pink patterned hat with a red neckerchief, pink robe, gold bangles, blue leggings, and a pair of brown boots. In her dark clothes, Mallow wears a puffy two-pointed hat with several scarlet robes, scarlet pants, and red patterns. In her light clothes, Mallow has a yellow veiled headband, also sporting an orange overcoat, baggy teal pants, jewels, and yellow patterned shoes.

==Gameplay==
The protagonist is the [[Party (Magical Vacation)|party]] leader in ''[[Magical Vacation]]'' whom the player assumes control of for the entire game, starting at [[level]] 1.

The attributes of [[Wish|love]], [[Nirva|dark]], and [[Holy|light]], can be obtained by meeting certain criteria in [[Communication]]. As for stats, the hero is best suited for physical combat, possessing high [[HP]] and [[power]]. The heroine is more magically adept, with high [[MP]], [[spirit (statistic)|spirit]] (magic defense), and [[agility]].

==Biography==
===Early Life===
[[File:Magical Vacation - Heroine Prologue 2.png|thumb|right|200px|The heroine before enrolling in [[Will-o'-Wisp Academy]]]]
The protagonist used to live in a village on the outskirts of [[Kovomaka Kingdom]]. Born with the power to see [[Spirit (Magical Vacation)|spirit]]s, they were often spotted conversing with sticks and rocks on the wayside. The villagers ostracized them for this ability, growing fearful and calling them a liar. One day, the protagonist was visited by [[Biscotti]], a sorcerer who brought [[magic (concept)|magic]] to the land long ago. Several spirits appeared behind Biscotti, who invited the protagonist to enroll in [[Will-o'-Wisp Academy]] by promising they could meet even more spirits. On their way to Will-o'-Wisp, Biscotti told the protagonist how many of his students went on to hold important positions in Kovomaka Kingdom, but that was not his reason for teaching magic. Rather, he encouraged students to learn everything there was to know about the [[Universe|world]]. That way, they do whatever their hearts desired.

====After ''Magical Vacation''====
=====Starting attribute=====
[[File:MV Male Protagonist Ending Screenshot 2.png|thumb|right|200px|The protagonist as a teacher at [[Will-o'-Wisp]]]]
Some time later, the protagonist became a lecturer of magic at Will-o'-Wisp Academy. Instead of teaching magic for combat, they taught magic for support, reforming Will-o'-Wisp into a school suitable for a new era.

=====Dark magic=====
[[File:MV Male Protagonist Ending Screenshot 4.png|thumb|left|200px|The protagonist as a dark mage on their journey across planes]]
In search of more powerful foes, the protagonist spent twenty years traversing the continent, leaving their footprint and legacy in over thirty countries. In time, they mastered the technique of moving freely between [[plane]]s. Their journey spanned twenty planes, beginning on the [[Fire Plane]] and ending on the [[Wind Plane]], where they passed away at the age of 87. By that time, they had earned hundreds of titles in many countries, and their name was given to landmarks around the world, keeping their legacy alive even in death.

=====Light magic=====
[[File:MV Male Protagonist Ending Screenshot 6.png|thumb|right|200px|The protagonist as a light mage taking care of a [[dodo (species)|dodo]]]]
The protagonist set out on a journey to find a cure to the [[Dodo (species)|dodo]]s' curse and [[enigma fusion]]. They explored many planes, fought formidable foes, and helped villagers in need, acquiring lots of knowledge along the way. One day, [[Candy]] received a book written by the protagonist in the mail, which journaled everything they had learned on their adventures. The book, containing a wellspring of information, was kept at the academy as an essential source of knowledge for every magician in Kovomaka Kingdom. And yet, no one knew what became of the protagonist.

==Trivia==
[[File:MV Male Protagonist Concept Artwork.png|thumb|right|200px|Tackle, a prototype version of the male protagonist]]
*According to [[Shinichi Kameoka]], Mash and Mallow's designs were inspired by the characters Daniel Latimer (portrayed by [[wikipedia:Mark Lester|Mark Lester]]) and Melody Perkins ([[wikipedia:Tracy Hyde|Tracy Hyde]]) from the 1971 film ''[[wikipedia:Melody (1971_film)|Melody]]''. Another character from the film, Tom Ornshaw ([[wikipedia:Jack Wild|Jack Wild]]), was the inspiration for [[Brown (EGGLIA)|Brown]] in the [[EGGLIA (series)|''EGGLIA'' series]].<ref>{{Cite Tweet|quote=マーク・レスターがモデルと言っても「小さな恋のメロディ」の時のマーク・レスター。一応マロウもメロディ役のトレイシー・ハイドのイメージでデザイン。ちなみにエグリアのブラウンはマーク・レスターの友人役だったジャック・ワイルドがモデル。 |url=https://twitter.com/ShintaKameoka/status/947346486018187264 |user=ShintaKameoka |date=December 30, 2017 |access-date=May 29, 2023}}</ref>
*In early development, when the game was planned to be titled ''[[Mahō no Natsuyasumi: the magical vacation]]'', the protagonist of the opposite gender would appear as the player character's boyfriend/girlfriend and had a designated attribute. The male protagonist was a [[Air|wind]]-user named Tackle, a 15-year-old who struggled to express his emotions, which caused him to clash with his classmates.
*When naming the protagonist in Japanese, pressing Select changes the ''Hiragana'' and ''Katakana'' characters to [[Café au Lait Font]].

'''Ganache Nighthawk''' is a [[Party (Magical Vacation)|party member]] and the main antagonist of ''[[Magical Vacation]]''. 15 years of age, he is a student at [[Will-o'-Wisp Academy]] with the gift of the [[dark spirit]]. He is the younger brother of [[Vanilla Nighthawk]], who went missing one year ago after attending the [[Valencia Beach]] Seaside School two years prior. When Ganache himself attends the Seaside School with Miss [[Madeleine]]'s class, they are attacked by [[enigma]]s and taken to the [[Light Plane]], though Ganache willingly goes in order to solve his sister's disappearance. He briefly accompanies a group led by the [[protagonist (Magical Vacation)|protagonist]], but breaks off with them to join [[Candy Mintblue]], [[Olive Tearclown]], and [[Cabernet Cheaptrick]]. They follow Ganache through the other [[plane]]s, unaware he has a much darker scheme in mind.

In ''[[Magical Starsign]]'', Ganache and his sister are briefly mentioned by [[magician]]s affiliated with [[Carbon (magician)|Carbon]], cited as legendary magicians from [[Kovomaka]].<ref name="DIECAST"/>

==Profile==
Ganache has difficulty coming to terms with his heritage, since his family of dark magicians face prejudice for their old practices of curses and necromancy. For this reason, he is very distant and does not try to establish meaningful relationships. Although Ganache is clever and kind-hearted by nature, he has grown more reserved after his sister's disappearance. Among his [[Party (Magical Vacation)|classmates]], he is close friends with [[Olive Tearclown]], who can see his true feelings thanks to her [[psychic powers]]. He also has a strained friendship with [[Cabernet Cheaptrick]].<ref name="NOGMV">{{Cite Book|NOGMV|20}}</ref> His hobby is playing the harmonica.

Ganache has semi-long green hair and purple eyes. Two tufts of hair stick out from his dark purple turban, and he wears a similarly colored surplice with a cape and garment. His garment has orange and yellow arabesque patterning, outlined with red-orange trim, and he wears pink shoes with green striped laces.

==Gameplay==
Ganache joins the [[Party (Magical Vacation)|party]] at [[Toruna Village]] in the [[Light Plane]], starting at [[level]] 4 and dark [[magic level]] 3, and permanently leaves after the [[snowhair]] is defeated at [[Benakoncha Ruins]]. He uses the [[dark spirit]], which is weak to [[light spirit|light]], but strong against all other [[Spirit (Magical Vacation)|spirit]]s except light and [[Wish|love]]. His [[magic in Magical Vacation|magic]] covers a variety of ranges, and has a chance to absorb enemies' [[magic points]].

Since Ganache is not with the party for very long, he does not have a [[special power]] and his [[experience points]] gain is slower than other characters', but makes up for it by having exceptional stat growth. When he leaves the party, all equipment and seals on him will be lost as well, so he is best equipped with dispensable items or nothing at all.

==Biography==
===Early Life===
Ganache and Vanilla were descended from necromancers who lived in a country west of [[Kovomaka Kingdom]]. Although the practice of necromancy was abandoned, people were still opposed to dark magic, forcing the Nighthawks and their clan to keep their powers hidden in public.<ref>[[MagiVaca ni Matsuwaru Uwasa#Page 5|''Magical Vacation'' rumors § Page 5]]</ref> Ganache was ashamed of his bloodline, choosing to isolate himself from everyone except for [[Olive Tearclown]] and [[Cabernet Cheaptrick]]. Ganache was able to grow close to Cabernet, since his brother [[Chardonnay]] was dating Vanilla.

Three years before ''Magical Vacation'', Vanilla returned to [[Will-o'-Wisp Academy]] after a trip to the [[Valencia Beach]] Seaside School, unaware that an [[enigma]] had [[enigma fusion|fused]] into her heart. The effects of fusion caused Vanilla's emotions to spiral out of control, and she convinced herself that she was hated for having the [[dark spirit]]'s blood. When Chardonnay tried to console her, she proclaimed power was her way of coping, bidding him and Cabernet farewell. Before abandoning the country altogether, Vanilla asked Ganache if she was strong enough to defeat Principal [[Biscotti]] in battle, then voiced her desire to bring [[Kovomaka Kingdom]] to ruin. Ganache confronted Biscotti and Miss [[Madeleine]] soon thereafter, in which Biscotti told him that Vanilla had not changed, but rather, her true self was beginning to emerge. Maddened by his words, Ganache accused Biscotti of belittling Vanilla's life. Around this time, [[Candy Mintblue]] enrolled in Will-o'-Wisp, inspired by magicians that saved her village from trolls a few years prior. When she met Ganache for the first time, he reminded her of those magicians and quickly fell in love. Ganache, however, did not reciprocate those feelings.

Two years later, Vanilla succumbed to the enigma possessing her, corrupting both her body and mind. As she began wreaking havoc on the kingdom, hundreds of soldiers, including Chardonnay, were deployed from the [[Castle Town|capital]]. Meanwhile at the academy, [[Cassis Lumberyard]] received word from the societal underground that Kovomaka had gone to war. Ganache ran off as Olive suddenly had a premonition, warning him that the situation was more dire than he thought. Vanilla slaughtered two hundred soldiers and destroyed several castles, until Biscotti fought her and sealed her inside [[Chiboust Castle]]. When the conflict ended, Chardonnay asked to be buried on a hill overlooking Chiboust Castle in his dying breath, realizing the monster was actually his lover.

Back in Ganache's hometown, he went to fetch well water for his elderly widowed neighbor as part of his daily routine. He never talked about Valencia Beach to the widow, but she found out when Candy carelessly mentioned it while following Ganache around.<ref>{{Cite Web |quote=ガナッシュの家の近くに、おばあさんが一人で住んでいて、ガナッシュは毎朝そのおばあさんに変わって井戸で水をくんであげるのが日課になっている。臨海学校があることはおばあさんには内緒にしていたのだけど、ある日、いっしょについて来たキャンディがペラペラとしゃべるので、バレてしまった。最近、どこへ行くにもキャンディがつきまとうことに少し嫌気がさしている。 |translquote=There is an elderly lady who lives near Ganache's house, and Ganache routinely draws water from a well for her every morning.

Nowadays, Ganache is getting a bit sick of Candy following him everywhere he goes. |url=[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/amvj/15cm/01/index.html] |archive=[https://web.archive.org/save/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/amvj/15cm/01/index.html] |retrieved=August 14, 2024 |site=Nintendo.co.jp}}</ref>

===''[[Magical Vacation]]''===
[[File:Magical Vacation - 7.png|thumb|right|200px|[[Olive]], mistaken for [[Vanilla]], finding Ganache at the [[riverbed]]]]
As the [[Party (Magical Vacation)|party]] boarded the [[magic bus]] in preparation for their trip to Valencia Beach, Miss Madeleine took attendance, quickly noticing that Ganache was absent. Olive volunteered to look for him, as did Candy, but Madeleine only allowed the former to go. Arriving at the [[riverbed]] off campus, Olive spotted Ganache playing his harmonica and called out to him. Ganache briefly mistook Olive's voice for Vanilla's, to which Olive sensed he was dwelling over his sister's disappearance. Although Ganache doubted that anything happened at Valencia Beach three years ago, Olive promised they could solve the mysteries surrounding Vanilla, then suddenly had a vision of the class disappearing at camp. Alerted by the vision, Ganache ran with Olive back to the magic bus before it departed for the Seaside School.

[[File:Magical_Vacation_-_26.png|thumb|left|200px|Ganache letting himself get [[warp]]ed away by the [[enigma]]s]]

During free time later that evening, Ganache and Olive happened upon a cave at the beach's edge. The [[protagonist (Magical Vacation)|protagonist]], [[Sesame]], and other students stopped by as Ganache approached the cave, advising they stay away from the "endless darkness". Disregarding his warnings, the students ventured inside and returned to the campgrounds at dusk. Candy invited Ganache to the cabins and handed him a late birthday present, apologizing for being unable to deliver it three months ago. Receiving his present, Ganache thanked Candy and promised to return the favor, then left before Candy could confess her romantic feelings. The protagonist met with Ganache and Cassis afterwards by the shore, learning the basics of [[Combat in Magical Vacation|combat]] and their classmates' proficiencies. Ganache told the protagonist that something bad was afoot, advising they warn [[Lemon]] and [[Kirsch]] just in case. Unfortunately, his fears came true as enigmas suddenly swarmed the beach, [[warp]]ing the students away to another [[plane]] of existence. He fought back against a couple of enigmas that abducted Candy, and ordered Madeleine to tell him what was happening. Madeleine explained the enigmas to Ganache and the protagonist, but wondered how they were able to contact the [[Material Plane]]. Ganache proceeded to join a horde of enigmas, promising to Madeleine that he would rescue the class, and let himself get warped to the [[Light Plane]].

On his hunt for the students, Ganache wound up in [[Toruna Village]], where he met up with the protagonist, [[Arancia]], and [[Pistachio]]. They explained how Kirsch was abducted by the enigma [[Vulcaneira]], fearing his body would be used for fusion. Ganache theorized that the enigmas were planning to wear the students out on the Light Plane and make their hearts vulnerable; otherwise, they would have performed fusion immediately at the beach. The group ventured to a tunnel beneath a villager's house, where Kirsch was being tortured by Vulcaneira. Ganache commanded the enigma to stop, offering to become his fusion vessel instead. However, as Vulcaneira boasted his powers, Ganache cast a [[mijote]] spell to instantly kill the enigma. With Kirsch on the team, they opted to meet with Toruna Village's chief to gain access to [[Benakoncha Ruins]] and reach [[Wakuti Village]]. They consulted chief [[Chiffon]] and his granddaughter [[Mille-Feuille]], who promised to give them an [[ukuru's feather]] in the morning.

The next day, a puppet was found dead the village, the latest case in a series of homicides. As the townspeople grieved, the party met with Chiffon and Mille-Feuille, to which Ganache asked that they be guided to the ruins. Arancia reprimanded his lack of sympathy, though Mille-Feuille followed up on her promise and gave them an ukuru's feather. Ganache stated how the puppets were trying to drive the students out of Toruna, not wanting them to be caught up in the village's affairs. Mille-Feuille guided them to the base of the ruins, where [[Tiramisu]] the innkeeper attempted to take her heart, hoping it could reanimate his broken brother [[Mousse]]. The students arrived just in time, upon which Tiramisu fled to the floating ruins. Kirsch urged Mille-Feuille to expose Tiramisu's crimes to the villagers, but she refused, stating the fate of her people should not be determined by outsiders.

Reaching the end of Benakoncha Ruins and defeating the [[snowhair]], the students encountered Tiramisu again. While Mille-Feuille asked to speak with Tiramisu in private, Ganache chose to part ways with his classmates, no longer wanting to be involved in the puppets' affairs. Mille-Feuille then followed Tiramisu back to Toruna Village, as did the students while Ganache watched with disdain. At the ruins' base, Tiramisu secretly watched Mille-Feuille run to the village's inn, curious why she chose to follow him knowing it may cost her her life. Ganache appeared to explain that Mille-Feuille had a heart, threatening to kill Tiramisu if he were to endanger her. The two summoned their spirits and Ganache struck Tiramisu with a dark spell, severely injuring him. Barely clinging to life, Tiramisu met Mille-Feuille and the students at the inn, prying his chest open so that his heart could be given to Mousse. After drawing his final breath, the party found Ganache outside, seemingly oblivious of Tiramisu's death. He swore he did not mean for the attack to be fatal before running away in a panic, though his classmates were sure he was holding back.

While exploring the Light Plane, Ganache soon arrived at [[Gearava Village]]. Candy, Olive, [[Cabernet]], and [[Cidre]] in were also there, but unbeknownst to the students, the enigmas' commander [[Equillekrew|Equillekrew]] ordered for all of them to be taken to the [[Dark Plane]]. A [[zaphropeak]] suddenly warped Candy's group away, and just as it was about to leave, Ganache rushed in and got caught in the warping process. The five of them wound up in [[Rehikafu Bog]] and killed the zaphropeak, though luckily, Ganache was familiar with the area. They proceeded to [[Masalatea Village]] and took a boat across the swamp, but Cidre chose to stay behind and wait for Miss Madeleine to save him.

The next day in [[Tapiocatea Village]], Ganache's group met with [[Mace]] and learned to move gray-feathered [[ricebird (species)|ricebird]]s. Just as Ganache was about to embark, the other three caught up, with Cabernet remarking how quick he was to ditch his friends, much like how Chardonnay was treated before his passing. Candy mistakenly thought Chardonnay and Ganache were in a relationship, until Cabernet corrected her and exclaimed Chardonnay was dating Vanilla. As Ganache planned his next course of action, Cabernet professed they should defeat all the enigmas. Candy found such a feat to be impossible, when Cabernet suddenly theorized that his brother's death one year ago was no accident; rather, he was murdered. He speculated the culprit was an enigma, though Olive exclaimed vanquishing the enigmas out of revenge would prove futile, seeing as they could instantly regenerate. Ganache cut their conversation short, suggesting the four of them find enigmas and use them to warp back to the Material Plane.

Ahead in [[Eastern Forest]], Candy lead Olive away and grilled her on her ability to read peoples' hearts. Olive admitted she knew very little of Ganache's plans, but confessed that his end goal was to rescue Vanilla, who was being held captive in a heavily-guarded castle. Candy was initially in disbelief, until Olive explained that by fusing with an enigma, Ganache could easily clear through the castle's guards. As Candy expressed her hatred for Olive, feeling as though she and Cabernet were dead weight in Ganache's scheme, something suddenly attacked them. Meanwhile, the boys took down a vicious [[Badaboom]], but quickly ran to their companions upon hearing Candy shriek. They found Miss Madeleine with the party, watching over an unconscious Candy and Olive. Madeleine stated that Candy's heart had been sealed, then was interrupted by [[Chocolat]] crying for help in the distance. Ganache, his three companions, and Madeleine ran north to [[Morbier Volcano]], but along the way, Candy and Olive mysteriously disappeared. After talking to a [[pyrite]] from [[Basorimo Village]], Ganache and Cabernet trailed back to look for the girls, leaving Madeleine and the party to rescue Chocolat.

Elsewhere, Candy brought Olive to the entrance of [[Kisunika Mines]], intending to use her as bait to lure Ganache. With her powers, Olive peered into Candy's heart and finally understood Ganache's end goal: to fuse with the king of enigmas. Just as Candy had anticipated, Ganache and Cabernet hurried past Basorimo Village and through the [[Brownie Burrow]], arriving at the mines entrance themselves. There, Ganache severed his friendship with Cabernet, saying he, Olive, and Candy served no purpose on his journey to fuse with the enigma king. Although Cabernet exclaimed the students were strong without the enigmas' power, Ganache uttered that he was still emotionally weak, unable to reconcile with his own despair.

In the depths of Kisunika Mines, the students and Madeleine saw Ganache's group near a portal to the [[Death Plane]], the plane of death and [[reincarnation]]. Candy announced Ganache's plans to fuse with the enigma king [[Kelrendu]], to which Olive expressed her concern over Candy's change in behavior. Although the students worried the two may never return from the Death Plane, Madeleine allowed them to go, not wanting to impede on their free will. As Ganache and Candy stepped into the portal, Cabernet attempted to chase after his best friend, but was held back out of fear that Candy would kill him. Back aboard the magic bus, Cabernet and his classmates deduced that the monster that Biscotti sealed away was actually Vanilla, whose heart had been consumed by an enigma three years ago. After finally piecing together Biscotti's intentions and the history of Will-o'-Wisp Academy, Pistachio wondered why Candy was so content on tagging along with Ganache. Olive chimed in, revealing that an enigma possessed Candy's heart when they were attacked earlier.

Atop the [[Great Rock]] on the Death Plane, Ganache asked if Candy was willing to see his journey through to the end, even if he were to lose himself. He noted that Candy had started to act strange, which infuriated her, since she had been trying to reinvent her identity due to feeling discontent with herself. This made Ganache recall Vanilla's drastic change in behavior, wondering if he could have done something to save her from going insane. Vowing to stay strong, Candy agreed to follow Ganache to the depths of the land and bring his goals to fruition. Later on, the two obtained a [[dark veil]] from a [[mudman]] in [[Moiroroto Village]], which they could use to pass through the [[Death Corridor]]. Candy suddenly conveyed her desire to kill Ganache, and confessed to feeling violent rage ever since blacking out in the Enigma Forest. Ganache promised that once he fused with Kelrendu, he and Candy could fight, once again reminding him of Vanilla's descent into madness. He told Candy that he did not care about getting killed, but warned her of the dire consequences that may follow. However, knowing she was desperate to outshine him, he told her what she must do to be victorious.

Trekking through the [[Land of Darkness]], Candy sensed the protagonist and the class were on their tail, urging Ganache to keep going while she stayed behind. By the time the students caught up, Candy's heart and body were overtaken by Equillekrew, who had possessed her on the Dark Plane. Luckily, through Olive's words, Candy was able to de-fuse with Equillekrew and banish him into the void, though she lost all her magic abilities as a result. They brought her back to the magic bus momentarily, where she explained that even without magic, she could see all sorts of things in her [[dilation of consciousness|mind]].

The students proceeded down [[Moginasu Magic Grotto]] and caught up to Ganache, who was face-to-face with Kelrendu in a bizarre form. Madeleine rushed in and warned Ganache against enigma fusion, hoping they could save Vanilla in similar vain to Candy. Ganache called his teacher's bluff, as Olive told him that she was actually possessed by several enigmas. Madeleine explained how the students were bound to encounter the enigmas eventually, detailing their history with Will-o'-Wisp Academy and Biscotti's motives. Ganache retorted, stating he would bend all the enigma-possessed magicians to his whim, and that he would be better off dead without power. His classmates proceeded to express their emotions, with Candy stating he was fated to set Vanilla free from Chiboust Castle. Although the students words were enough to deter Ganache from joining Kelrendu, their fusion had already commenced, so his classmates fought back and interrupted the process.

As Kelrendu escaped into the [[Hall of Rebirth]], Miss Madeleine informed her students that three centuries ago, Kelrendu lost a battle against Biscotti and lost all prestige as the enigma king, which spurred him to deliberately die and reincarnate to obtain a more powerful form. Ganache added that Kelrendu must be defeated, as not even an enigma could reincarnate if it died on the Death Plane. He also mentioned that by imagining himself as Kelrendu's host, he could control the weaker enigmas and the enigma-possessed. Just then, Madeleine told Ganache that his partial fusion with Kelrendu drained him of magic. Although disappointed by this revelation, Ganache assured the protagonist that he could still believe in his classmates.

Surely enough, the students were able to vanquish Kelrendu in his strongest form, casting him into oblivion. Before returning to Moginasu Magic Grotto, Madeleine told Ganache that Biscotti was actually vessel for the previous enigma king, [[Yuvick]], which he used to ward Kelrendu out of the Material Plane long ago. She also confessed to lying about being a vessel herself, having never once fused with an enigma. Ganache then angrily demanded that everyone warp back to the surface, to his classmates' confusion. On the magic bus, Ganache expressed a thrilling sensation despite having no magic left, when his vision suddenly faded to white. He awoke in Will-o'-Wisp's meditation room, his [[soul]] standing next to Biscotti, who informed him that he could travel anywhere by attuning his body and consciousness. With his heart liberated and his mind no longer astray, Ganache had finally found the path of freedom.

====After ''Magical Vacation''====
[[File:Magical Vacation - Ganache Ending 6.png|thumb|right|200px|Ganache and his sister, finally free]]
Upon returning to the Material Plane, rumors spread amongst enigma-possessed magicians that Ganache had become [[Kelrendu]]'s vessel. In the span of half a year, Ganache, Candy, and the enigma-possessed joined forces and founded the [[Biscotti Sect]], who seized control of Kovomaka Kingdom. Word soon reached Vanilla in Chiboust Castle, but when Ganache arrived to visit her, he claimed that he was happy despite losing everything. Vanilla was freed from her restraints as she broke down in tears, then she decided to abandon magic and join the Biscotti Sect. Thus, the kingdom welcomed an era of peace that would last for 200 years.

===''[[Magical Starsign]]''===
In [[Chocomilk Caves]] on [[Shadra (planet)|Shadra]], the [[Party (Magical Starsign)|students]] could talk to [[Diecast]], one of many [[magician]]s who hid in [[Chocomilk Caves]] after narrowly escaping death at the hands of [[Kale]]. Diecast asked if the students were from [[Kovomaka]], and if they answered "No", Diecast named several Kovomakan magicians, among them being Ganache and Vanilla, who earned it the title of "planet of sages".<ref name="DIECAST">{{Cite Game |quote='''魔法使い・ダイキャスト:''' ★そうだろう……　あの星は　けんじゃの星と呼んでも　過言ではない。　★グラン・ドラジェや　スフレ・レインボウ　ピスタチオ・メイプルウッド……　★ガナッシュ・ナイトホークや　その姉のヴァニラもまだ　健在のはず。★魔法を学ぶものなら　必ず知っている名前だ。 |translquote='''[[Diecast|Magician・Diecast]]:''' ★Is that so...

==Trivia==
*His favorite food is ''ebifuryā'' (likely based on ''[[wikipedia:Fried shrimp|ebifurai]]''), big shrimp battered in breadcrumbs and fried in oil. He used to eat it with a mix of mayonnaise and ketchup until [[Lemon]] said it gave him "commoner smell," so he now eats it with only mayonnaise.<ref>[[MagiVaca ni Matsuwaru Uwasa#Page 4|''Magical Vacation'' rumors § Page 4]]</ref>
*According to the game's scenario writer, [[Nobuyuki Inoue]], Ganache was supposed to die at the end of the game, taking inspiration from [[wikipedia:Mick Jagger|Mick Jagger]] of [[wikipedia:The Rolling Stones|The Rolling Stones]]. However, Inoue decided against it after hearing the songs [[Tsukasa Masuko]] had composed for the final scenes, calling it "the moment Masuko defeated Mick Jagger".<ref>{{Cite Tweet|quote=Ｑ　なんでガナッシュはハーモニカ吹いてるの？Ａ　死なせる予定だったから。ラストシーン書くちょい前からストーンズの黒く塗れ聞いて気持ちを作ってたのに、増子さん書いてくれたラストの曲聞いてるうちに気が変わった。増子さんがミック・ジャガーに勝った瞬間でしたな。 |url=https://twitter.com/shriekydrake/status/1011824323412123653 |user=shriekydrake|date=June 26, 2018 |access-date=May 21, 2023}}</ref>
*During ''Magical Vacation'', Ganache and Vanilla are the only users of dark magic at Will-o'-Wisp Academy.
*It is possible that the [[purple turban]] in ''Magical Starsign'', an equipment piece exclusive to the [[Dark starsign|dark]]-aligned [[Protagonist (Magical Starsign)|protagonist]], is meant to reference Ganache. It should be noted, however, that [[Pistachio]] refers to Ganache's clothing as a {{Nihongo|"black hood"|黒いフード|kuroi fūdo}}, while the purple turban is called such in both English and {{Nihongo|Japanese|むらさきターバン|murasaki tāban}}.
