| 01. A Tale from the Sea | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
 |
Oh, look at that. The moon is hiding in the darkness... |
|
| There's a story about this... of how the waves whisper on nights when the moon hides herself away. | ||
| Doooot! | ||
| You want to hear it? |
Peppermint Cookie | |
| Then I'll begin. This is the story of a mermaid that was deeply cherished by the sea... |
 Peppermint Cookie | |
| It's said that the sea would shed tears at times, looking up at the moon. As the moon would sink into the deep, dark sea, those tears would crystallize and become what were called "Sea Fairy Tears." |
Peppermint Cookie | |
| Cookies of the Sea worshipped the unbreakable, incredibly beautiful Sea Fairy Tears. Soon, several kingdoms were founded around them. | ||
| Among those was Tearcrown, the kingdom of the Merfolk located in the Silent Ocean's depths. There lived a Gem Mermaid who shone as brilliantly as the moon itself... |
Peppermint Cookie | |
| ||
| Dooooot! | ||
| Soldiers! Stay on guard! As you all know, something is afoot with the Land Cookies lately. |
 | |
 Tearcrown Elite Soldier |
Yes ma'am! |
|
|
|
Every time we perform a rite, they gather to see the Sea. |
Crimson Coral Cookie |
| Those Land Cookies... There's no way of knowing what they might do. | ||
| So this is no time for rest! For who knows what might happen. | ||
| Is the Sea Fairy Tear safe? | ||
|
Tearcrown Elite Soldier |
No issues observed, ma'am! However, as you know... The lunar eclipse is approaching... |
|
|
|
Hm, so it may be unstable. I see. |
Crimson Coral Cookie |
 |
Crimson Coral Cookie, Crimson Coral Cookie! We're about to start the Sea Foam Rite. Are you not joining us? |
|
 Frilled Jellyfish Cookie |
The lady is waiting! | |
|
|
Is she now? Ha ha! She's been waiting for this for a while now, she must be thrilled. |
 Crimson Coral Cookie |
| Let's go then. Before my lovely little sister White Pearl Cookie tires from waiting. | ||
| 02. Unfulfilled Promise | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
 |
Aaah, finally the day is here! | |
 White Pearl Cookie |
I wonder what powers I'll manifest...? I want to help make the ocean beautiful, just like all my sisters...! | |
|
|
My Lady! Crimson Coral Cookie is here! How are you feeling?! |
|
|
|
White Pearl Cookie! My little pearl! Finally, it's your turn! |
|
|
White Pearl Cookie |
Mhm. Finally, I too... can meet the Sea...! |
|
|
Tearcrown Cookies
|
This is the first ceremony we've had in ages! The last one was Mystic Opal Cookie's Sea Foam Rite! |
|
| Ahh, this time we will surely be able to see the glorious Sea once more, right?! |
Tearcrown Cookies
| |
|
Tearcrown Cookies
|
I wonder what powers White Pearl Cookie will end up with?! | |
| If we're nervous, just think about how nervous White Pearl Cookie must be! |
Tearcrown Cookies
| |
|
Tearcrown Cookies
|
White Pearl Cookie! Call out to the Sea! | |
|
Crimson Coral Cookie |
Everyone, quiet! The ceremony starts now! | |
 White Pearl Cookie |
... Phew.... | |
 White Pearl Cookie |
... Almighty Sea. Do you hear me? Do you feel my true heart? | |
| From a small gem, devoted to you... Comes a humble plea for a part of your power... | ||
|
|
... Wooooo... | |
| ||
|
|
... | |
| Ooh, Almighty Sea! Divine Sea! |
Tearcrown Cookies
| |
|
Almighty Sea
|
... nally... | |
| !!!! The Sea... is speaking?! |
 Crimson Coral Cookie | |
|
Almighty Sea
|
Finally, the time has come for me to pass on this power to you... |
|
|
White Pearl Cookie |
The Sea... spoke to me...? | |
|
|
To you, who resembles the Moon, I give the blessing of the Sea... |
Almighty Sea
|
|
White Pearl Cookie |
Ahh, almighty Sea! Does this mean I can finally become a real Gem Mermaid? |
|
|
|
Yes. And with this power I am giving to you all... The Sea is sure to be safe and calm... |
Almighty Sea
|
| Small Moon, who shines brightly from within your shell... You shall shine the brightest when there is no moonlight... | ||
| And I will... | ||
|
White Pearl Cookie |
...!? | |
| Woooooooo... | ||
| The Sea spoke directly to you... This is unheard of... |
 Crimson Coral Cookie | |
| White Pearl Cookie, can you feel anything? |
Crimson Coral Cookie | |
| Do not fear, dear sister! It's time for you to unfold your strength, your Sea, just like all your sisters before you! | ||
|
White Pearl Cookie |
... Ah... |
|
|
|
...White Pearl Cookie? |
Crimson Coral Cookie |
 White Pearl Cookie |
...Crimson Coral Cookie, it's strange... |
|
| Is it normal to feel... nothing...? | ||
| 03. Dispirited Mermaid | ||
|---|---|---|
|
| ||
|
|
Nothing? What do you mean? | |
|
|
I'm not... sure... |
 |
|
Tearcrown Cookies
|
White Pearl Cookie! Did you not receive any powers...? |
|
| But the Sea definitely said that it would grant you power... | ||
| Come on, she's just not used to her new powers yet! | ||
| That's right! After all, this is the Sea Foam Rite! No one has ever come out of it without new powers! | ||
| Ah... No, I... |
White Pearl Cookie | |
|
Tearcrown Cookies
|
White Pearl Cookie! Show us your powers! | |
| Everyone, calm down...! |
Crimson Coral Cookie | |
|
Tearcrown Cookies
|
WHITE PEARL COOKIE! WHITE PEARL COOKIE! |
|
|
White Pearl Cookie |
I said, I can't feel anything at all...! | |
| WOOOOOSH | ||
| Ah, My Lady!!! |
 | |
|
Crimson Coral Cookie |
...!!! White Pearl Cookie! |
|
| White Pearl Cookie! It's not safe outside the Kingdom right now! | ||
| SOLDIERS! Follow White Pearl Cookie, NOW!!! | ||
| ||
|
White Pearl Cookie |
I can't feel anything... I didn't receive any powers at all...!!! |
|
|
White Pearl Cookie |
Almighty Sea! Tell me why! Tell me why these hands of mine are still useless! | |
|
|
White Pearl Cookie, White Pearl Cookie! Where have you gone?! |
Frilled Jellyfish Cookie |
|
White Pearl Cookie |
Ahh... The Sea itself spoke to me... So how can it be... that I'm left with nothing...!? |
|
|
|
That's the end of the water, My Lady! Please come back here! |
 Frilled Jellyfish Cookie |
|
White Pearl Cookie |
I wanted powers like the other Gem Mermaids, too... To unfurl waves from the tip of my fingers, to sing the weather, to talk to the waves! |
|
 White Pearl Cookie |
I wanted to become a shining gem of the ocean too! | |
|

WHISH | |
| AAAH!??!! |
White Pearl Cookie | |

Frilled Jellyfish Cookie |
MY LADY–!!! |
|
| 04. Unstable Tear | ||
|---|---|---|
|
| ||
|
|
Are you sure there are none of the Tearcrown Cookies left? | |
|
|
Yes ma'am! Everyone has been sent back! |
 Tearcrown Elite Soldier |
 |
I can't believe the Sea Foam Rite ended like that... Does this mean White Pearl Cookie didn't receive any powers...? |
|
|
|
But the Sea was really there. You heard it too. We might just have to wait around a bit longer... |
Crimson Coral Cookie |
|
Aquamarine Cookie |
...What about White Pearl Cookie? Has she returned? I've never seen her so distraught, I'm really worried... |
|
| Is she back? | ||
|
|
The young Lady has yet to return, but... My warriors are following her to ensure her safety! |
Tearcrown Elite Soldier |
|
Crimson Coral Cookie |
...Very well. You should head back. |
|
| Aquamarine Cookie. Why don't you finish the celebration preparations? |
||
|
Crimson Coral Cookie |
We should all make an effort to enjoy the celebrations together, just as we've always done after the rites. | |
|
|
...Yes, you're right. I'll make sure to prepare so we can begin as soon as White Pearl Cookie returns. |
Aquamarine Cookie |

|
Voice of the Sea
|
... Disappearing... | |
| Please don't go... | ||
| Mystic Opal Cookie. How is the state of the Sea Fairy Tear? |
Crimson Coral Cookie | |
 |
The Sea is mourning, and seems even more unsettled after the rite. |
|
|
|
What will we do? The lunar eclipse is all but upon us! You know how volatile the Sea can become at this time! |
 |
|
Mystic Opal Cookie |
We are not strong enough to pacify it. |
|
|
|
Hmm... The situation is not looking good. |
Crimson Coral Cookie |
|
|
Word has it that two-legged beings are capturing our kind up above as we speak. |
Crimson Coral Cookie |
|
Gold Citrine Cookie |
Could it be that the Cookies up above know how the eclipse affects our Kingdom? |
|
|
|
That cannot be. The Cookies are simply coveting the treasures of the Sea, as they always have. That's all. |
Mystic Opal Cookie |
 Gold Citrine Cookie |
And what about White Pearl Cookie? She's back and resting, right? |
|
|
|
No... She still has yet to return. |
Mystic Opal Cookie |
|
Gold Citrine Cookie |
What?! Still? She must be past the border of the Kingdom by now! |
|
|
|
I should have gone after her myself sooner, but... As you know, I must defend the Sea Fairy Tear. |
Crimson Coral Cookie |
|
|
But... you're right. We've waited for too long, and now I must... |
Crimson Coral Cookie |
|
Mystic Opal Cookie |
Don't say that, Crimson Coral Cookie! You're the guardian of our Kingdom and the Tear! |
|
|
|
That's right! Simply offering to help is enough! Leave the rest to us! |
Gold Citrine Cookie |
|
Crimson Coral Cookie |
... You're right. But do not forget how precious you are to me. |
|
| If anything happens to the two of you, I... | ||
| Blub blub blub... CRASH! | ||
|
|
Oh no, it's terrible...! | |
|
|
Ah! Frilled Jellyfish Cookie, there you are! ...But why is White Pearl Cookie not with you...?! |
Gold Citrine Cookie |
 Tearcrown Elite Soldier |
It's a disaster! White Pearl Cookie...!!! White Pearl Cookie has... been caught in a net...!!! |
|
|
' |
Crimson Coral Cookie WHAT...!!!?! |
|
| 05. Rescuing White Pearl Cookie | ||
|---|---|---|
|
| ||
|
|
Our baby sister was caught in the Cookies' net?!?! | |
|
|
A net, how terrifyingly cruel...! We must go save her at once...! |
|
|
|
Naturally, we must save her. The issue is... which one of us should go. |
|
|
|
We're her sisters! We all go and save her, right!? |
 |
|
Mystic Opal Cookie |
That will not do. Surely you realize that one of us must remain in the Kingdom to protect the Sea Fairy Tear. |
|
|
|
We must rescue White Pearl Cookie before those Cookies sail away...! |
 Aquamarine Cookie |
 |
... |
|
|
|
Crimson Coral Cookie. What do you say? |
Mystic Opal Cookie |
|
Crimson Coral Cookie |
It's as I told you before. I will not stand idly by while one of you are hurt. |
|
| As the leader of Tearcrown, and as White Pearl Cookie's older sister, I will make sure to rescue our youngest. | ||
 Crimson Coral Cookie |
Almighty Sea, hear my voice! I'm coming to rescue White Pearl Cookie! | |
|
| ||
|
Sound of Whales
|
Boooooooo– | |
| Where are the Cookies!? |
Crimson Coral Cookie | |
|
Tearcrown Elite Soldier |
There! I see the hollow whale!!! |
|
|
|
Very well! Creatures of the Sea, you who live in the ocean's embrace! |
Crimson Coral Cookie |
| And do not stop for second until you've found White Pearl Cookie!!! |
Crimson Coral Cookie | |
| 06. When White Pearl Cookie Comes Back | ||
|---|---|---|
|
|
My... My Lady... | |
|
|
It's all alright now, Frilled Jellyfish Cookie. |
 |
|
|
That's right, those Cookies won't stand a chance against Crimson Coral Cookie! They'll have to beg for mercy! |
|
|
|
There is a reason Crimson Coral Cookie chose to go on her own. |
|
|
Gold Citrine Cookie |
That's right, let's do what we can here! |
|
|
|
Something I can do... |
Frilled Jellyfish Cookie |
| Phew... everyone, thank you...! I feel a bit better now...! |
Frilled Jellyfish Cookie | |
| You're right. I will do everything I can to help as well...! | ||
|
Mystic Opal Cookie |
... Where do you think you're going? |
|
|
|
I thought I'd go out and clean up the path to the Kingdom! |
Frilled Jellyfish Cookie |
| After all, My Lady will return soon! |
Frilled Jellyfish Cookie | |
| ||
|
Frilled Jellyfish Cookie |
Well then, here we go! | |
|
Frilled Jellyfish Cookie |
Hyah! | |
| Phew, all done! | ||
| My Lady... I wish I could escort you home myself, but... | ||
| You will return, won't you? It's not too late, right? | ||
| No, if anyone can save White Pearl Cookie, it's Crimson Coral Cookie! | ||
| And until then... I'll make this place as clean as possible! | ||
| My Lady...! May you return safely...! | ||
| 07. Anxiety | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
| Splash... whoosh... SPLASH! | ||
| Sigh... Harpoons, nets... this ship holds nothing but weapons. |
 | |
| As soon as the eclipse begins... I suppose everyone will be on the hunt for legendary sea riches. | ||
| File:Cutscene special episode03 placeholder.png | ||
 |
HA HA HA HA! The eclipse is almost upon us!!! 'Tis the time when the legendary dwellers of the sea come to the surface!!! | |
 Abalone Cookie |
Lord Oyster, you should lend me a hand! Just one of these creatures is enough to make us a fortune! | |
|
Lord Oyster
|
Hold up!!! That's not what I've been told! All I'm here to do is ensure the safe passage of the ship... |
|
|
Abalone Cookie |
Will yer really be satisfied with just that, ey?! | |
 Abalone Cookie |
Lord Oyster. I realize that yer someone burdened with great responsibility... | |
|
Abalone Cookie |
But will ya be able to fulfill ya duties with such a defeatist attitude? | |
| Chances like this don't come often, I'm telling ya! Lend me yer hand and I'll make it worth yer while! | ||
|
Abalone Cookie |
So whadd'ya say? Ready to seize the opportunity of a lifetime? HA HA HA! | |
|
| ||
 Lord Oyster |
Burdened with responsibility... | |
| Maybe you're right, Abalone Cookie... Chances like this don't come often. | ||
| And settling down and providing for a whole family would be no problem with a fortune like that. | ||
|
Lord Oyster |
But... | |
| ...Hm? What's that light? Is it the moonlight reflected off something...? No... that's... a Cookie...? | ||
 Lord Oyster |
LOOK! Look at the net! RIGHT THERE! COOKIE OVERBOARD!!! | |
| 08. Fateful Encounter | ||

|
|
This... | |
|
|
Eeuugh!!! Let me go! Now! |
 |
|
Lord Oyster |
This isn't a Cookie, but... a mermaid...? |
|
|
|
We must report to Abalone Cookie at once...! |
Abalone Crew |
|
|
There'll be no need for that! What's the reason for all this fuss... |
|
 |
...! | |
|
|
No! No! It mustn't end like this, what about the Sea that I dreamt of for so long... |
White Pearl Cookie |
| The Sea that I dreamt of... Where waves sprung from my fingertips...! |
White Pearl Cookie | |
|
Abalone Cookie |
...!!! |
|
| Could it be... a Gem Mermaid as described in the legend of the Sea...?! So the legend... is true?! | ||
| Seems that no one else has noticed yet. In that case... | ||
|
Abalone Cookie |
Oy! Move this mermaid to the tank! | |
|
Abalone Cookie |
To think we caught something so valuable before the eclipse even started. Luck is on our side after all! WA HA HA HA!! | |
| Very well, this calls for a celebration. Tonight, we FEAST!!! | ||
| ||
|
Tank Rumbling
|
THUD | |
|
White Pearl Cookie |
I have to get out! | |
| THUD!! | ||
|
White Pearl Cookie |
I have to escape from here!!! | |
 White Pearl Cookie |
Argh, I can't move at all... Sob... | |
| Creak... Click. | ||
| Eugh...! If only I'd received powers... this never would've happened...! |
White Pearl Cookie | |
|
Lord Oyster |
... |
|
|
|
Sob... Almighty Sea... Tell me why... |
White Pearl Cookie |
|
Lord Oyster |
You... Aren't just crying because you've been caught, I see. |
|
|
|
...!!! D-Don't come any closer!!! |
White Pearl Cookie |
|
Lord Oyster |
I won't hurt you. No, I can't hurt you. I have no such strength. |
|
|
|
You... |
White Pearl Cookie |
 Lord Oyster |
Your eyes are so beautiful. |
|
| Even in all this chaos... They're full of life... | ||
| Just like glistening pearls. | ||
|
|
Pearls... Pearls are my gems, after all. |
White Pearl Cookie |
|
Lord Oyster |
Looking into your eyes, it feels like all my worries are washed away... |
|
|
Lord Oyster |
Like I'm floating in the open sea... | |
| What creature could you possibly be to have eyes so powerful? | ||
| I am Lord Oyster. Will you... tell me your story? | ||
| 09. Cracks in the Hull | ||
|---|---|---|
|
White Pearl Cookie |
...You're back. Have you come to hear my story once more? |
|
|
|
Ha ha, that's right. |
Lord Oyster |
| The sea is calm today. It's the perfect time to go sailing. | ||
|
White Pearl Cookie |
Sailing...? |
|
|
|
Ah, how foolish of me. Your world is so different from ours... |
Lord Oyster |
| Ships let Cookies travel the sea without turning soggy. It's what we're on right now. | ||
|
White Pearl Cookie |
This apparatus... In Tearcrown, we call it a "hollow whale." |
|
|
Cabin Door Opening
|
Rumble rumble... SLAM! | |
| Lord Oyster! |
 Abalone Crew | |
| Lord Oyster, are you here! | ||
|
Abalone Cookie |
Heh, there ya are! |
|
| The hope of the Oyster family, and my dear friend... I need yer help. | ||
|
|
Help? What could you possibly... |
 Lord Oyster |
|
Abalone Cookie |
I hear you've been talking to the creature non-stop. Ya must've heard some pretty interesting information, I'm sure... |
|
|
Abalone Cookie |
Won't yer tell me? | |
| About this sea, for example! The sea deity, and the mermaids! Tell me every single detail, ya hear! | ||
|
|
Barging in and asking me for this favor won't change anything. There's nothing I can tell you. |
Lord Oyster |
| We need to treat these mermaids with respect. They're so much more than just "creatures!" |
Lord Oyster | |
|
Abalone Cookie |
Hmph, so ya really have no intention of helping me, I see... |
|
| Mermaid, ye who is blessed by the Sea. Can yer tell me what I want? | ||
|
|
... Let me out of here. |
White Pearl Cookie |
|
Abalone Cookie |
HA HA! Just as I expected. See, even if ya treat 'em as godly beings, they won't do what ya want! |
|
|
Abalone Cookie |
Well then! Take this mermaid out of the tank at once! I'll get the information I want one way or another! | |
|
|
What?! |
Lord Oyster |
|
Abalone Crew
|
Yes, Captain! |
|
| AAAHHHH! Please, leave me alone! JUST LET ME GO!!! |
White Pearl Cookie | |
|
Abalone Cookie |
Scream and squirm all you want! I won't end this interrogation until ya give me something! |
|
|
|
In the name of the Oyster family! I command you to stop immediately! |
Lord Oyster |
| You wish to know all about the sea, you say...? | ||
| Abalone Cookie, is that your plan?! To wipe out all life in the sea!? | ||
|
Abalone Cookie |
If anything it's foolish to leave such an obvious resource untouched! |
|
| Lord Oyster, if ya have no intention of helping me... I must ask ya to step aside. | ||
|
Abalone Cookie |
After all, I'm not interested in breaking the alliance between the Oyster and Abalone families... | |
|
|
... Hmph... |
Lord Oyster |
| ...It doesn't matter what you say. I will not let my tie to my family stop me from doing what's right! |
Lord Oyster | |
|
Abalone Cookie |
Heh. I guess you're finally living up to your family name, Lord Oyster. |
|
|
Abalone Cookie |
But... for it to happen like this is disappointing indeed. HA HA! | |
|
Abalone Cookie |
Now then. What are you all waiting for? Let’s show the honorable lord how we do business here! | |
| 10. Action and Consequence | ||
|---|---|---|
 Lord Oyster |
Eugh... | |
|
|
Whew.. Well... I was only going to put a little pressure on ya, but... |
Abalone Cookie |
| It can't be helped when you're this stubborn... I must say I'm shocked, Lord Oyster. |
Abalone Cookie | |
| But then again... as long as that mermaid is in our hands, I'm in no rush. I'll let ya go. | ||
| But listen to me, Lord Oyster. | ||
| It won't be long... until I have all of the sea's treasures within my grasp. HA HA HA HA! |
Abalone Cookie | |
| Creeeak... SLAM! | ||
| Eugh... Argh... |
Lord Oyster | |
|
White Pearl |
You... why did you do that? |
|
|
|
I'm not sure... I just... |
Lord Oyster |
| After seeing you, I became certain. I cannot continue like this. |
 Lord Oyster | |
|
White Pearl Cookie |
Then why don't you just quit? |
|
|
|
Ha ha, that's a good question. |
Lord Oyster |
| I suppose there's still some part inside of me that wants validation... and to live up to my family name. | ||
|
White Pearl Cookie |
Validation... I want that too... |
|
|
|
There's nothing I can do for the Oyster family... |
Lord Oyster |
|
White Pearl Cookie |
There's nothing I can do for the Kingdom... |
|
| 11. Fury of the Sea | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Lord Oyster |
The sea is calm. | |
|
|
No, just asleep. But the waves are as ill-tempered as they are sleepy, so you shouldn't disturb them. |
 White Pearl Cookie |
 Lord Oyster |
Ha ha, what an interesting comparison. |
|
|
Lord Oyster |
Ah, that's right. Did you hear? The eclipse is tomorrow. | |
|
Lord Oyster |
Abalone Cookie is determined to catch the rare sea creatures that can only be seen during the eclipse. | |
|
|
What...? Is that true...!? |
White Pearl Cookie |
| Lord Oyster, Please. Free me...! |
White Pearl Cookie | |
| I must return to protect my Kingdom... or the Sea, at least! | ||
|
Lord Oyster |
That... |
|
| (... if it's to protect the sea, we're no different from each other. I also left my family to go out to sea.) | ||
| (I must let you go. No, I desperately want to.) | ||
| (But, if I do, Abalone Cookie will surely...) | ||
| (What... should I do...) | ||
| ...White Pearl Cookie, I... | ||
|

Lord Oyster! Ya here!!! |
|
|
|
Abalone Cookie, there you are!! This is urgent, we must set this mermaid free at once! |
Lord Oyster |
|
Abalone Cookie |
Folly! I could never let a catch like that go so easily!!! |
|
|
|
Look at this! The hull is pierced and you can see the sea on the other side! We'll perish! |
Lord Oyster |
 Abalone Cookie |
That's right, our best option is to escape with the goods while the ship is still holding up! |
|
|
|
No, this is the only way we'll all survive! White Pearl Cookie! Be careful! |
Lord Oyster |

Crimson Coral Cookie |
| O, Almighty Sea, I thank you...! | ||
| Wait for me, little sister. For I shall make sure that these creatures may never hunt us merfolk again...! |
Crimson Coral Cookie | |
|
White Pearl Cookie |
No. Crimson Coral Cookie! Don't!!! |
|
|
|
White Pearl Cookie, this is a complicated matter. |
Crimson Coral |
|
White Pearl Cookie |
I know that. I know, but... A Cookie that helped me is on the ship. |
|
|
White Pearl Cookie |
So could you please, just once... give them a second chance? | |
|
|
The Sea is always giving those creatures second chances, White Pearl Cookie. |
Crimson Coral |
|
White Pearl Cookie |
I know that, but... |
|
| Please. This is my one request. If it wasn't for that Cookie, I wouldn't have made it... | ||

White Pearl Cookie... |
Crimson Coral Cookie |
| Sigh... It's no use, I see. All forces, stand back!!! |
Crimson Coral Cookie | |
| We will not fight the two-legged today!!! Everyone, return to the depths!!! | ||
|
Waves Calming Down
|
Swoooosh... | |
|
Receding Waves
|
Whoosh... | |
| The sea... it's still again. |
Abalone Crew | |
|
Abalone Crew
|
E-Everyone, hurry up and start repairs on the ship! |
|
| Euagh! The damage is far too great! We won't make it to the shore! |
Abalone Crew
| |
|
Abalone Crew
|
And if it wasn't for Lord Oyster, we would've been on the bottom of the sea right now... | |
| To think that the Captain even considered prioritizing the goods over everyone's lives... |
Abalone Crew

|
Abalone Cookie |
(Hmph... a mutiny...? This won't do.) | |
|
Abalone Cookie |
Lord Oyster, come here. Let's have a chat. | |
| 14. Reunion in the Maelstrom | ||
|---|---|---|
| Splash! Whirr... | ||
|
Lord Oyster Navigator! Is there no navigator! |
||
|
Sailor from House Oyster
|
EUAAAAAGH! Whirlpools! Whirlpools everywhere! |
|
| This isn't the right direction at all!! |
Sailor from House Oyster
| |
|
Lord Oyster Errr, Abalone Cookie...! |
||
|
Abalone Cookie Thanks to yer decision, the crew's been thrown into chaos. |
||
|
Abalone Cookie I can no longer have someone on my ship who defies the Captain's orders in such crucial moments. |
||
|
Abalone Cookie I'm sorry to say this, my friend, I really am... |
||
|
Abalone Cookie But I want ye and the rest of ye family to get off this ship. |
||
|
Lord Oyster You're kicking us off just like that, with no warning?! |
||
|
Lord Oyster There's no way we can return safely like this...! | ||
|
Sailor from House Oyster
|
Lord Oyster! Up ahead! Reef up ahead!!! | |
|
Lord Oyster Turn!!! We'll take the long way around! | ||
|
Sailor from House Oyster
|
It's not working! EUAAAAH! | |
| CRAAAASH! | ||
|
Lord Oyster (Is it over...?) |
||
| (Was it all... in vain...) | ||
| (Ah... that's right. Abalone Cookie knew all along...) |
||
| (No Cookie can survive alone, out in the open sea...) | ||
| (I can't breathe. I'm not drowning but rather... feeling the weight of that burden on my shoulders.) |
||
| (What will happen to my family without me? Is this really all I could accomplish...? Nothing?) |
||
| (In the end... I'm nothing...) | ||
| SWISH! | ||
|
Lord Oyster |
Huh...!?! | |
| Y-You...! | ||
|
|
I've never seen a face like that. A sad, confused face... |
White Pearl Cookie |
|
Lord Oyster |
White Pearl Cookie...! How did you...! |
|
|
|
I kept hearing your voice, the voice that kept me company... Come on, take my hand. |
White Pearl Cookie |
|
Lord Oyster |
This feeling... I can breathe again... and my dough is no longer soggy... |
|
|
Lord Oyster |
It's the Sea watching over us. | |
| To float around so calmly... It feels like a dream. | ||
| The soft current washing over my dough, the gentle waves... | ||
| I can feel the Sea breathing. | ||
| Now, I realize... none of us Cookies have ever really understood the Sea. | ||
|
|
Ha ha, I see you're a Cookie who can actually sense the Sea. I trusted that you would. |
White Pearl Cookie |
| Now, come here... There's something I want to show you. |
White Pearl Cookie | |
| 15. Two Cookies in the Sea | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Lord Oyster |
This... | |
|
|
This place has the best view of our Kingdom, Tearcrown. |
White Pearl Cookie |
| We call it the "Garden of the Sea." | ||
|
Lord Oyster |
It's... stunning. I could spend all day here, gazing at this beauty... |
|
|
|
Look, the moonlight is shining through the surface. |
White Pearl Cookie |
|
Lord Oyster |
It's like a curtain of light wrapped around the Kingdom. It looks so peaceful. |
|
|
|
...That's not always the case. |
White Pearl Cookie |
|
Lord Oyster |
What... do you mean? |
|
|
|
Us Gem Mermaids are creatures that rely on the strength of the Sea to protect our Kingdom. |
White Pearl Cookie |
| The Sea watches over us, and we look to the Sea for strength to grow our Kingdom even stronger. | ||
| ...But that doesn't mean that the Kingdom is always serene and beautiful. Nothing remains still and in balance forever, not even the Sea. | ||
| And when the Sea is out of balance, so is our Kingdom. That's when the Gem Mermaids must take a stand to protect the Sea. | ||
| I want to become someone who can fulfill that duty, too. |
White Pearl Cookie | |
| An eternally radiant figure, able to help and protect Tearcrown. |
White Pearl Cookie | |
|
Lord Oyster |
You will, I know it. |
|
|
Lord Oyster |
I have seen so much throughout my life, but... I've never met anyone as radiant as you. | |
|
|
Just hearing your words... I feel radiant already. |
White Pearl Cookie |
| ...The Sea called me Little Moon. That hasn't happened to any other Gem Mermaid before. |
White Pearl Cookie | |
| If I just let the eclipse pass by like this... I'll cease to be Little Moon, much less a Gem Mermaid. |
White Pearl Cookie | |
| Even so... you still see me as a radiant being? |
White Pearl Cookie | |
|
Lord Oyster |
...Little Moon. That name suits you well. |
|
|
Lord Oyster |
After all, I'll always look to your radiance, no matter what form you take. | |
|
|
Like the Moon gazing down at the Sea? |
White Pearl Cookie |
 Lord Oyster |
Yes. Like I'm gazing at you right now, in this moment... |
|
|
|
...That's...so beautiful. Your words are like a curtain of safety enveloping me... |
 White Pearl Cookie |
| I wonder... can I treasure this moment forever? | ||
|
Lord Oyster |
Yes, you can. |
|
| I, too, wish that time would stop... just for us, just for now. | ||
| 16. The Promise | ||
|---|---|---|
|
White Pearl Cookie |
Follow me, it's just a bit further up. We're almost at the surface. |
|
| SPLASH! | ||
|
Lord Oyster |
No one would believe me if I told them I'd just walked on the bottom of the ocean. | |
|
Lord Oyster |
...It was truly unreal. I'll never forget it. | |
|
|
... |
White Pearl Cookie |
|
Lord Oyster |
... |
|
|
|
Well– then, we should... |
White Pearl Cookie |
|
Lord Oyster |
...Could we postpone our goodbyes just for a bit? I don't want to think of this as the end for us. |
|
|
|
...Alright. We're simply parting momentarily, waiting for our next encounter. |
White Pearl Cookie |
|
Lord Oyster |
Ha ha, I like that. Now, the eclipse will start soon. Please stay safe, White Pearl Cookie. |
|
|
|
...The eclipse... |
White Pearl Cookie |
|
Lord Oyster |
You look concerned. Is it because of... the Sea? |
|
|
|
I wonder... does the Sea really love me? |
White Pearl Cookie |
|
Lord Oyster |
The Sea called you Little Moon, remember? If anything, it means you can shine on your own. |
|
|
|
A Moon that shines on its own... |
White Pearl Cookie |
|
Lord Oyster |
You're a Moon that can shine on its own. |
|
|
Lord Oyster |
So, don't be afraid and just give it one more try. | |
|
|
You really... think I can? Do I even... have such strength within me? |
White Pearl Cookie |
|
Lord Oyster |
You're already shining so radiantly. You're my Moon. |
|
|
|
...Ha ha... |
White Pearl Cookie |
| Then, you are my Sea. The Sea only I shine upon. |
White Pearl Cookie | |
|
White Pearl Cookie |
Take this pearl. | |
| As long as my Tear, the gem of a mermaid, is with you, you will not turn soggy in the Sea. | ||
| Take it. And once you have accomplished all your goals, come back to meet me again. | ||
| When I have gained my powers from the Sea and become a true Gem Mermaid... | ||
| 17. Veiled Moon | ||
|---|---|---|
|
White Pearl Cookie |
... | |
|
White Pearl Cookie What do I do... I'm so nervous... |
||
| Is this really supposed to make me this shaky? | ||
|
Lord Oyster The Sea called you Little Moon, remember? |
||
| You're a Moon that can shine on its own. So, don't be afraid and just give it one more try. | ||
|
White Pearl Cookie I... trust that Cookie. |
||
|
White Pearl Cookie It's just like he said... I'm a Moon. | ||
| ||
|
White Pearl Cookie
|
Ahhh, I feel power surging through me...! | |
| Almighty Sea...!!! Is this the real me...!? | ||
| That's correct... You are the one that shines in the dark... |
Almighty Sea
| |
| Your power can only shine where there is no light... Even if the eclipse blacks out all light above, your light will protect the Sea! | ||
|
White Pearl Cookie
|
Ahhh, I can do it! I could do it, I could become the real me I so longed for...! |
|
|
White Pearl Cookie AH...?! |
||
|
White Pearl Cookie The moonlight disappeared... but why?! |
||
| There's still time left before the eclipse....! | ||
|
Mystic Opal Cookie |
This... is no eclipse. What is happening..? |
|
|
|
MY LADY!!! |
Frilled Jellyfish Cookie |
|
White Pearl Cookie |
Frilled Jellyfish Cookie...! |
|
|
|
Everyone else has already gone to the borders of the waters! |
Frilled Jellyfish Cookie |
|
White Pearl Cookie |
Yes! Let us go too,
quickly...!!! |
|
|
Mystic Opal Cookie |
The creature that discovered our existence... He's back. And he's here to capture us. |
|
|
|
HA HA HA HA HA!!! THE ECLIPSE IS STARTING! |
Abalone Cookie |
| Throw out the nets! Shoot the harpoons! Catch any creature that you see! |
Abalone Cookie | |
|
Gold Citrine Cookie |
Look at that hollow whale! What's all that stuff on it? It looks so unnatural and terrible! |
|
|
|
It's different from the other hollow whales I've seen... It seems as if it knows how to fight the Sea...! |
Aquamarine Cookie |
|
Crimson Coral Cookie |
QUIET!!! |
|
| This invasion will not be the end of Tearcrown! | ||
|
Crimson Coral Cookie |
Now, sisters! Prepare yourselves!!! | |
| Let us show these creatures who rules the sea, with powers gifted by the Almighty Sea itself!!! | ||
|
|
Heh, they're ya are! Mermaids! This time I won't go easy on ya! |
Abalone Cookie |
| 18. Receding Shadow | ||
|---|---|---|
|
Gold Citrine Cookie |
Not before I have you swept away!!! | |
|
|
EUAAAGH! The waves, it's as if they've come alive...! |
 Abalone Crew |
|
Aquamarine Cookie |
May they swallow you up...! |
|
|
|
Listen... to the wailing of the Sea. |
 Mystic Opal Cookie |
| Seaweed has tied itself around the ship...! We cannot move forward! |
 Abalone Crew | |
| And the wind makes it impossible to stand upright...! |
Abalone Crew | |
| Eeuugh...! |
 Abalone Cookie's First Mate | |
| Abalone Cookie, I'm sorry...! There's nothing else we can do...! | ||
|
Abalone Cookie |
Eugh, heh... He he he.... Looks like those old tales about the sea deity had some truth to them after all...! |
|
| I had my doubts last time, but... Seems like those of the sea can wield its strength as well, huh? | ||
| This sure isn't the best way to find that out, but... Now I know! That the legend of the Sea Fairy Tears must be true, too! | ||
|
Abalone Cookie |
Once I find and catch every creature that lives by the remaining Tears, I'll earn a fortune!!! HA HA HA HA! | |
|
Abalone Cookie |
But I won't risk losing my "trophies" I've caught so far, so... For now... | |
|
Abalone Cookie |
RETREAT!!! EVERYONE, FALL BACK!!! | |
|
Gold Citrine |
Huhh?! He's running away? Should we chase them?! |
|
|
|
That was not the expression of someone who's given up. He will return soon. |
Mystic Opal Cookie |
|
Crimson Coral Cookie |
An offensive was never our purpose! Take care of the injured first! |

Voice of the Sea
|
The clear light, that shines only from within the shadows... | |
| This feeling... I know it well... | ||
| WOOOOOSH! | ||
|
White Pearl Cookie Ah... is this... The Sea...? |
||
|
Voice of the Sea
|
Little Moon... |
|
| Almighty Sea...
I have always cherished you deeply in my heart. |
White Pearl Cookie | |
| My sea, so beautiful and generous, yet powerful,
dreaded by its foes. My Tearcrown... | ||
| But now... | ||
| I dream of another Sea.
One where I can walk on two legs, on the ground up above... |
White Pearl Cookie | |
|
Voice of the Sea
|
I see... Your heart ripples like moonlight reflected on the surface of the water... |
|
| Yes, and I tremble with excitement as if I'm dreaming... |
White Pearl Cookie | |
|
Voice of the Sea
|
And yet,
you are afraid... |
|
| I tremble as I'm walking the ground above,
although water surrounds me at every moment... |
White Pearl Cookie | |
|
Voice of the Sea
|
Will you reach him... |
|
| No, not for now... |
White Pearl Cookie | |
| But someday...! |

Voice Beyond Doors
|
Lord Oyster. May I enter? | |
| No. I... wish to rest a bit longer. |
Lord Oyster | |
|
Voice Beyond Doors
|
... Everyones crumbling to hear your story!
About the ship, and how you were... |
|
| ... The sole survivor? |
Lord Oyster | |
|
Voice Beyond Doors
|
.... |
|
| I will explain everything soon, so please... Wait.
Just for today. |
Lord Oyster | |
| For I just want one more day...
To lose myself in a dream, bathed in moonlight from above... | ||
