“ May the Princess Contest begin and let the sweetest one win! „
After an eventful seaside vacation, 
Princess Cookie and 
Knight Cookie return to their homeland: the Hollyberry Kingdom. However, they discover that because Princess Cookie had been away for so long, a Princess Contest is now being held to fill in the vacancy. Determined to prove herself through the contest, Princess Cookie must now compete against other aspiring nobles such as 
Raspberry Cookie and other members of the noble Berry houses. Meanwhile, an unnamed huntress also makes a long-overdue return home, only to learn that the 
greenish red dragon that had once terrorized the kingdom now sits on its throne.
| 01. Dragon on the Hollyberry Throne | ||
|---|---|---|
 Pitaya Dragon Cookie |
Hsssss... After all these yearsss, the Hollyberry Throne is still MINE. |
|
| Thronesss... They are meant to be wressstled for. | ||
| Yet those mortalsss are afraid to challenge me! | ||
| WHERE ISSS SHE?! I hunger for a fight! | ||
|
|
Lord Dragon, I have brought it to your attention may times that Queen Mother has left the realm, long ago. |  Jungleberry Cookie |
| We haven’t received a word from her ever since. There is absolutely no way to arrange her arrival. | ||
Pitaya Dragon Cookie |
HSSSSS! You Cookiesss are boring! ALL OF YOU! But HER...! |
|
| Then bring someone SSSIMILAR! A SSSTRONG, FIERCE WARRIOR! | ||
| Or... I will reduce your puny kingdom to nothing but EMBERSSS AND DUSSST! | ||
|
|
Yes, Lord Dragon. We shall do all in our power to help you conquer your boredom. |
Jungleberry Cookie |
| ||
 Jungleberry Cookie |
But what can we do...? The light of the Shield is becoming dimmer by the day! |
|
| Clearly, there is a limit to the power of these scarce Fragments our expeditions have managed to procure! | ||
|
|
Yeah, it’s surely getting dim! |  Royal Berry Cookie |
| Eh, I wish the Shield’s power resonated with me too... | ||
Jungleberry Cookie |
Oh, we managed to keep the kingdom together for so long. But this time, the odds are against us, I’m afraid! |
|
Jungleberry Cookie |
With that monster on the Hollyberry Throne and without the Shield, our homeland is in grave danger... | |
|
|
My dearest Queen! Do not lose hope! Why, a few days ago, albeit shortly, I felt as if the Light was strong once again! |
Royal Berry Cookie |
| And I swear. I was sure this warm wave of energy was coming closer and closer! | ||
| Perhaps... it is a good omen, my darkling? Know that no matter what happens, I shall be there for you! | ||
Jungleberry Cookie |
Oh, darling...! | |
Jungleberry Cookie |
This land is desperate for a hero who could wield the Shield and ignite the flame of passion in our Cookies once again! | |
| 02. Berry Jungle | ||
|---|---|---|
 Princess Cookie |
Ah, I wish my tropical vacation didn’t end! But, I miss Mama and Papa! Are they doing well...? |
|
 Princess Cookie |
My, oh my! Would you look at these berries red and blue?! I know them all oh so well! Ah, it’s so great to be back home! | |
|
|
Your Royal Highness, we are approaching the Hollyberry Kingdom! |  Knight Cookie |
| I strongly recommend we proceed directly to the palace. Certainly, it has been a lengthy voyage. |
 Knight Cookie | |
 Princess Cookie |
Um yeah... But there’s still so so much in the world I haven’t seen! |
|
Princess Cookie |
For example, that awesome JUNGLE MONSTER I see for the first time! LOOK! | |
|
|
Please, step aside, Your Curiousness! It’s too dangerous! I shall face the monster! |
 Knight Cookie |
 Knight Cookie |
Aaah! AAAAAH! | |
Princess Cookie |
Oh no, the monster took Knight Cookie! | |
 Princess Cookie |
Knight Cookie, wait for me! | |
| 03. Teamwork! | ||
|---|---|---|
 Princess Cookie |
Isn’t the knight supposed to save the princess, not the other way around?! | |
|
|
... |  Tiger Lily Cookie |
Princess Cookie |
... Huh? |
|
Princess Cookie |
How do you do? | |
|
|
...!! |  Tiger Lily Cookie |
| ||
Princess Cookie |
She’s gone! | |
| Hm... That Cookie looked... familiar? | ||
| ||
Knight Cookie |
Ha ha! Taste my sword! The very sword that has cut the dreadful dragon’s tail! |
|
| ||
Princess Cookie |
There you are, Knight Cookie! Having fun all by yourself, again? |
|
| Why don’t I join you! Fighting is only fun with Princess Cookie around! | ||
| 04. An Unnamed Huntress Cookie | ||
|---|---|---|
 Jungle Monster |
GRAAAAR! | |
|
|
Oh! Er... TO ME, MY CHAMPION! |  Princess Cookie |
Knight Cookie |
Her Royal Highness is in grave danger! KNIGHT COOKIE IS COMING TO THE RESCUE! |
|
 Unnamed Huntress |
You two youngsters! What are you doing out here in the jungle?! It’s dangerous, you know! | |
| These plants and beasts can’t wait to have you for lunch! Take cover behind my back, NOW! | ||
| ||
 Unnamed Huntress |
Ha ha! Victory is ours! That’s more like it! |
|
|
|
And who might you be?! | Princess Cookie |
Unnamed Huntress |
Me...? Uh, you know, just a nameless... hunter... passing by! Ha ha! |
|
|
|
But WE almost defeated that monster! You can’t just come and steal someone else’s glorious victories! |
 Princess Cookie |
 Knight Cookie |
Are you alright, ma’am Hunter? That was one vile beast indeed! |
|
|
|
... Hmm? | Unnamed Huntress |
| HA HA HA HA HA! THIS ONE IS FUNNY! Oh, don’t worry about me, lad! Ha ha ha! |
Unnamed Huntress | |
| You two were hunting monsters together? Nice little team you have here! | ||
| A piece of advice, young ones: a trusty friend to have your back in battle is the greatest treasure in the world, mh-mm! | ||
| But there: you should get back to civilization, kids! After all, there might be dragons lurking around! Boo! |
Unnamed Huntress | |
 Knight Cookie |
... “Dragons”?! |
|
|
|
Yes! Dragons from this jungle have always been hankering after our juicy berries. | Unnamed Huntress |
| Rumor has it, one of them appeared in the heart of the Hollyberry Kingdom not so long ago! | ||
Princess Cookie |
Oh no, my Kingdom...! |
|
Princess Cookie |
We really must go back! Mama and Papa must be so worried! | |
|
|
A brilliant thought, Your Highness! | Knight Cookie |
| Undoubtedly, your Royal Parents will be very happy to see you! Their Majesties may even shed a tear or two. |
 Knight Cookie | |
Princess Cookie |
He he... That’s for sure! Let’s run back home! |
|
|
|
Unnamed Huntress |
|
| Ah, kids these days... They’ll be just fine! | ||
| Huh? What’s that bright light...? Could it be...? | ||
 Light of Passion |
Ha ha ha ha! Well, well, well! Long time no see! |
|
|
|
This voice... You must be-! | Unnamed Huntress |
Light of Passion |
OF COURSE, WHO ELSE? Looking good, old gal! Any exciting news? |
|
|
|
Can’t keep secrets from you! Indeed, a little white bird brought me a letter. |
Unnamed Huntress |
| I recognized my old friend’s handwriting right away. He wrote that dangerous forces are on the rise once again... | ||
| To be honest, I never thought I’d ever hear from that Cookie again... Looks like my Kingdom needs my help! | ||
Light of Passion |
A long-awaited reunion with an old friend? What can be better?! |
|
| But I wonder... Is there anything else troubling your soul? Something you might have lost in your travels...? Hmm? | ||
|
|
What are you talking about? |  Unnamed Huntress |
Light of Passion |
I can’t tell. You must find that answer yourself. |
|
|
|
Bah... When did you get so “holier than thou”?! Looks like it’s finally time to go back home! Ha ha! |
Unnamed Huntress |
| 05. Grandberry Harbor | ||
|---|---|---|
 Ferryman Cookie |
Hello, hello! Welcome to the Grandberry Sea Port, travelers! |
|
|
|
Greetings, kind commoner! Can you get us to the Kingdom? |
Princess Cookie |
Ferryman Cookie |
Your shiny Coins can get you anywhere! One pink-haired Cookie, one armored Cookie... Will that be all? |
|
| Jump aboard, rich travelers! | ||
|
| ||
Princess Cookie |
WHOAH! What is that?! Look at all those fresh juicy berries in the water! |
|
|
|
Why, the carbonating season is in full, unknowing traveler! They’re keeping the berries in the Soda Ocean’s waters to enrich them with fizz! |
Ferryman Cookie |
| And when the berries rise up to the surface, they’re good to be served at the capitals’ finest restaurants! | ||
Princess Cookie |
Kind commoner, how do matters stand with our farming these days? I’ve heard rumors about dragons roaming our lands! |
|
|
|
Why yes, yes! A giant red dragon! The monster destroyed our homes and put our fields on fire! It was a disaster! |
Ferryman Cookie |
Knight Cookie |
*GASP* |
|
|
|
But the Hollyberrians have seen worse than that! We rebuilt our beautiful kingdom in no time! |
Ferryman Cookie |
| In fact, our Cookies planted twice as many berries and had twice as many festivals than before! | ||
 Knight Cookie |
Phew...! |
|
|
|
Don’t you worry, my dear traveler! A big noisy festival with rivers of berry juice flowing was all the Hollyberrians needed to forget about their hardships! |
Ferryman Cookie |
| Ah, finally! Welcome to the Hollyberry capital! A city of romance, abundance, and many sweet delicacies! | ||
| 06. Bustlin' Grandberry Market | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
 Grandberry Merchant 1 |
Ooh! Cake Monster strawberries, Cake Monster strawberries! Jelly Worm Ichor, get your Jelly Worm ichor! |
|
|
|
Imported Bear Jellies, come and buy imported Bear Jellies! Brand-new flavors, reasonable prices! |
 Grandberry Merchant 2 |
 Grandberry Merchant 3 |
A special SUPER PRICE for the first ten lucky Cookies! Run here as fast as your flat legs can carry you! |
|
|
|
Ah, the famous Grandberry Market! Crowded and boisterous, as always! |
Princess Cookie |
 Grandberry Brawler 1 |
You there! *hic* Thatsh mine! Gimme that! *hic* |
|
|
|
What’cha mumbling ‘bout, eh? I didn’t touch nothin’! |
 Grandberry Brawler 2 |
Grandberry Brawler 1 |
You come here, thief! *hic* I shaw everythin’! *hic* |
|
|
|
OH YEAH? YOU WANNA GET SOME? |
Grandberry Brawler 2 |
Princess Cookie |
Ah, it’s good to be home! |
|
 GingerBrave |
Wizard Cookie, you can do it! Be brave! |
|
|
|
Nope! No way, sir! NOT GONNA HAPPEN! I’m not doing it even for ten million Coins! |
 Wizard Cookie |
Princess Cookie |
Hello! I wasn’t expecting to meet you all here! |
|
|
|
Princess Cookie! THANK GOODNESS! SHE’S GONNA DO IT! |
 Wizard Cookie |
Princess Cookie |
Huh? Do what? |
|
|
|
Erm, looks like she doesn’t know. Oh well. They’re choosing the new Hollyberry Princess. |
 Strawberry Cookie |
Princess Cookie |
WHAT? But the Princess... IS ME! |
|
|
|
Errr... Well... Thing is... Um... The Princess’s spot was empty for so long, they decided to open a Princess Contest to select a new one... Kind of thing... |
Strawberry Cookie |
 Wizard Cookie |
We also heard that Licorice Cookie and his lackeys have been seen in these parts. |
|
| It is very likely that Dark Enchantress Cookie has plans for this kingdom. And, OF COURSE, our duty is to prevent that form happening! | ||
|
|
Yep! And that’s why we’re trying to convince Wizard Cookie to enter the Princess Contest! Ha ha! |  GingerBrave |
Wizard Cookie |
And my answer remains unchanged... NOT IN A THOUSAND YEARS! |
|
|
|
Hm... Interesting. I must tell everyone about my return! |
Princess Cookie |
| 07. THIEF! | ||
|---|---|---|
Knight Cookie |
Huh?! WHO’S THERE?! Someone touched my sword! |
|
|
|
T-thief! |  Strawberry Cookie |
Wizard Cookie |
Not unheard of in a crowded place like this! Stay mindful of your surroundings, friends. |
|
|
|
Huh?! What are y’all doing here? |  Chili Pepper Cookie |
 Strawberry Cookie |
Chili Pepper Cookie. |
|
|
|
What’s your business in the Hollyberry Kingdom? |  Wizard Cookie |
Chili Pepper Cookie |
I came for something... I need. |
|
 Chili Pepper Cookie |
Aaand it looks like I’ve just found it! So long! | |
|
|
Huh? Such a hurry! |  GingerBrave |
 Wizard Cookie |
Oh no! OH NO NO NO! |
|
|
|
What happened? |  GingerBrave |
Wizard Cookie |
My coin purse! And my Jellies I’ve been saving for later! They’re... Gone! |
|
 Wizard Cookie |
I kept them in my SCARF! | |
|
|
A scarf is not a good place to keep your valuables! | Knight Cookie |
Strawberry Cookie |
I guess that’s what Chili Pepper Cookie was looking for... |
|
|
|
Hey, let’s go before we lose something else! |  GingerBrave |
| 08. A Worthy Opponent | ||
|---|---|---|
 Cranberry Cookie |
The seamstress added an extra layer of whipped cream to make my dress more fluffy! I’m gonna win this contest today! | |
|
|
I used my new overnight yogurt mask—which is, like the totally hottest beauty trend these days—and my face looks like it was just baked! |  Blueberry Cookie |
 Bumbleberry Cookie |
PSHHH! The first thing every princess needs is STRENGTH! |
|
| ||
 Raspberry Mousse Cookie |
Voilà! It seems that we are on time. |
|
| Be careful, the road is crowded and covered in dust! | ||
|
|
Hmm, this place is so different from home. |  Raspberry Cookie |
Raspberry Mousse Cookie |
Always keep in mind the great faith and trust our family has put in you. |
|
| You must not fail. Raspberry Cookie must become the Princess. | ||
|
|
Yes! I will not tarnish our noble house’s honor! I will become the Hollyberry Princess and restore our family’s former glory! |
Raspberry Cookie |
Knight Cookie |
My... The competition is going to be fierce, Your Highness! |
|
|
|
What are you talking about, the Princess is ME! And the Royal Family knows it! |
Princess Cookie |
Raspberry Cookie |
Oh? Are you... Princess Cookie by any chance? The Cookie that ran away from the palace long ago? |
|
|
|
That’s me! Who’s asking? |  Princess Cookie |
 Raspberry Cookie |
Hmm, you do seem tough, but otherwise rather... unimpressive. |
|
|
|
Rude! Well, whatever! I’M the Princess, and therefore this contest is completely unnecessary. Too bad you came all the way here for nothing! |
Princess Cookie |
Raspberry Cookie |
Ha! Haven’t you heard? The Queen herself decreed to find a new Princess! |
|
|
|
What? But Mama... She wouldn’t...?! |
Princess Cookie |
Raspberry Cookie |
Prepare yourself, because House Raspberry will fight until the end! After all, you won’t find another family in this Kingdom as powerful and affluent as us! |
|
|
|
Oh yeah? Well, YOU are out of luck! Because I’M the REAL princess, and I WILL prevail! |
Princess Cookie |
Strawberry Cookie |
”And so, the battle for destiny begins!” |
|
| ”Princess Cookie gains Righteous Battle Rage! Stress reduced to 0!” | ||
|
|
Played games ’til dawn again, Strawberry Cookie...? | Wizard Cookie |
| ||
 Bat-Cat |
Myah myah myah! We’re BACK, flats! He he he! | |
|
|
He he! Yeah, and we’re gonna win this stupid Princess Contest! |  Licorice Cookie |
 GingerBrave |
Oh, not AGAIN! What is Dark Enchantress Cookie planning this time?! |
|
|
|
That’s none of your business, GingerBrave! Besides, she’s busy with other important... stuff! |
 Licorice Cookie |
Wizard Cookie |
Judging by how Scwarzwälder is trying to squeeze into that dress... They’re up to no good. |
|
|
|
I’M... NOT... AHEM! Who is this ’Schwarzwälder’ you speak of? |
 Choco Werehound Princess |
| It would seem like you took me for someone else, sweety! | ||
 Wizard Cookie |
Whoah! That’s mighty suspicious! |
|
|
|
But I must say, the color of the dress really does bring out the eyes. | Knight Cookie |
Princess Cookie |
Whose side are you on, Knight Cookie?! |
|
|
|
He he he! What, are you scared? Our mighty princess is gonna crush the competition! |
Licorice Cookie |
| And then, the whole Hollyberry Kingdom will be OURS! | Licorice Cookie | |
| 09. The Princess of Hollyberry Kingdom | ||
|---|---|---|
 Host Cookie |
Alright, one two... One three! Ha ha! Dear visitors, honorable contenders... |
|
| Welcome to the grand Princess Contest! Thank you all for joining the festivities! Today, we’re going to select the next Princess of the Hollyberry Kingdom! | ||
| First, the Qualifying Round will be held in the Palace Gardens. Then, inside the Palace, the Final Trial will take place. | ||
| And now, a welcome speech from Her Majesty the Queen, Jungleberry Cookie! | ||
|
|
Cookies from all over the realm and beyond! Welcome! Today, one of you will take the place of the Hollyberry Princess! |
Jungleberry Cookie |
Knight Cookie |
(Her Majesty herself!) |
|
|
|
(But Mama...! How could you! That’s so mean!) | Princess Cookie |
Knight Cookie |
(Your Highness, quick! You must go to Her Majesty!) |
|
|
|
(And what about my princess pride?!) | Princess Cookie |
| (I, Princess Cookie, will pass the Trials and prove that I’m the only real princess here!) | ||
Jungleberry Cookie |
Each Trial will test the virtues of the Hollyberry Princess: Crunchiness, Sweetness, and Strength! |
|
| Each of the contenders will be given an equal opportunity! Descent, lineage, or wealth are of no significance here. | ||
| May the Princess Contest begin and let the sweetest one win! | ||
|
|
The First Trial of the Qualification Round will begin RIGHT NOW! | Host Cookie |
| An old saying goes, “You are what you eat!” The true Hollyberry Princess must not only have a taste in delicacies, but also know how to enjoy a meal! | ||
| With that in mind, we have prepared a very special course! | ||
 Cookies |
Oh yay! |
|
| 10. Poison Mushroom Juice | ||
|---|---|---|
Princess Cookie |
Yum! So good! Can you pass me another plate?! | |
|
|
Her Highness has a way with food, that’s for sure! SHOW ‘EM, YOUR HIGHNESS! |
Knight Cookie |
| ||
Bat-Cat |
Tasty... Looks tasty! Can we have a bite, just one!? |
|
|
|
Now’s not the time for food! Have you forgotten about our mission?! We must infiltrate the Palace and snatch the Treasure as our Master ordered! |
 Licorice Cookie |
 Bat-Cat |
Yes, yes... The shield, Meowster! It will be ours! |
|
|
|
I don’t know if I can be of any help! This dress is so long and uncomfortable, and hard to move in... |
 Choco Werehound Princess |
 Licorice Cookie |
Hey, believe in yourself, eh? There’s no princess bigger and stronger than you! |
|
|
|
Go get ‘em, Schwarzwälder! You can do it! Miyaow! | Bat-Cat |
Choco Werehound Princess |
But I could hardly get any sleep! It worries me so... What if I lose and fail to become the princess? I would be MORTIFIED! |
|
|
|
Well, the Shadow always finds a way! You won’t lose if there’s no other contenders left in the game! Ha ha ha! |
Licorice Cookie |
| See that giant fruit punch pitcher? We can mix some of Poison Mushroom Cookie’s SPECIAL spores into the drink... Mhe he he. | Licorice Cookie | |
Bat-Cat |
Oh Meowster, you’re so cunning! I’ll get the spores! Meow he he he! |
|
|
|
Zzz... |  Poison Mushroom Cookie |
 Bat-Cat |
Myah! Sleeping?! Poison Mushroom Cookie is not helping at all! |
|
| Hmm. No meowtter! I’m sure I can rub some spores off! Meow he he... | ||
Bat-Cat |
Meow... My paws are all covered in spores! | |
|
|
Now mix them into the fruit punch! And quick! | Licorice Cookie |
 
| ||
Bat-Cat |
Mhe he he! Mix, mix, mix the spores! Myah myah! The drink has turned purple! |
|
|
|
He he he! Now we wait until the Cookies drink the punch! | Licorice Cookie |
 GingerBrave |
Whoah! Check out this fruit punch! Looks so deliciously PURPLE! |
|
|
|
Looks like they brewed a special batch for the Contest! | Wizard Cookie |
Unnamed Huntress |
Phew, AM I THIRSTY! This Hollyberry Kingdom is indeed as hot as the Oven! |
|
| Ah, perfect! What a delicious lookin’ fruit punch! Just what I need! Cheers! | ||
Unnamed Huntress |
*gulp gulp gulp* | |
|
|
Ooh, wonder what it tastes like... |  Strawberry Cookie |
Unnamed Huntress |
KHAAA! Now I feel alive! Reminds me of the time when I raised cups with my dear old friends! |
|
|
|
How does it taste? Good? | Wizard Cookie |
Unnamed Huntress |
YOU BETCHA! This fruit punch is our kingdom’s pride! |
|
|
|
Strawberry Cookie, Wizard Cookie! C’mon, have a glass! |
GingerBrave |
Wizard Cookie |
Hmmm... Yeah, I don’t know... I taste some fruity notes, but the overall profile is rather... mushroom-y? |
|
|
|
I feel... funky. |  Strawberry Cookie |
 Wizard Cookie |
Hey, GingerBrave. Why don’t you try it yourself? |
|
| C’mon, join us! Don’t be such a party pooper! Or I might have to call you GingerDULL! Khe he. | ||
|
|
Huh? W-what? Are you alright? |
GingerBrave |
Wizard Cookie |
Khe! A’nt you the one who ALWAYS makes fun of my HEIGHT? You hurt my feelings, mm-hm! |
|
|
|
What? I’ve literally never said... |  GingerBrave |
Wizard Cookie |
AND, you also once said that my scarf looks like a beard and kept callin’ me “grandpa” the whole day? |
|
|
|
Wha...? |  GingerBrave |
Strawberry Cookie |
You DO know that I’m a BERRY as well, right? I’m StrawBERRY Cookie. How come no one asked me if I wanted to become a princess? |
|
| Like how is that fair? I’m... I’m... I’m angry! I feel like... smashing something, you know?! | ||
|
|
Wizard Cookie? Strawberry Cookie...? What’s wrong with you two?! |
GingerBrave |
 Wizard Cookie |
Crumbs... It’s like someone’s banging on my head... How many GingerBraves are there...? Two? |
|
|
|
I... I think I was swinging my lollipop... *GASP* I didn’t hurt anyone, did I?! |
 Strawberry Cookie |
Knight Cookie |
Oh no. All Cookies who drank that purple punch are acting... weird! |
|
|
|
Hey! Who are you calling weird?! | Cranberry Cookie |
Blueberry Cookie |
Pfft, look at his soft white chocolate armor! You better watch it, softie! |
|
|
|
But... But... I beg to differ...! Clearly, you’re not thinking straight! |
Knight Cookie |
Bumbleberry Cookie |
Khe he he! Look at his candy sword! So teeny tiny and cute! |
|
| Aw, tell me, tiny knight. Can you even cut a Jelly with that? Khe he! | ||
|
|
What?! Do you... do you even know what this sword has accomplished?! I defeated the dragon...! |
Knight Cookie |
| Enough of your insults! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A DUEL! | ||
| 11. The Return | ||
|---|---|---|
 GingerBrave |
Phew! Looks like the situation has cooled down a bit! | |
| Let’s see... | ||
|
|
YOU THERE! WHATCHA STARING AT? | Blueberry Cookie |
GingerBrave |
Wh-wh-whoa! CALM down! And don’t run AFTER ME! |
|
|
|
Ha ha ha! That’s the Hollyberry Kingdom I know! | Unnamed Huntress |
| Ah, this is the place! Same door and same sign! |
Unnamed Huntress | |
| ||
Unnamed Huntress |
Where are you, ya old crisp bread! I brought some things you might find interesting! |
|
|
|
Yeah, yeah. I’m coming... Hold on a minute, there’s only one Cookie that’s this loud and obnoxious... |
 Monster Shop Merchant |
| Well, I’ll be crumbled! It’s you! I began to think you’ve got yourself eaten! | ||
Unnamed Huntress |
Ha ha ha ha! After all these years, you haven’t changed a bit! |
|
Unnamed Huntress |
Here, have a look at these! | |
|
|
Sharp horns, sinister eyeballs, enormous fangs, black ichor... Where on Earthbread did you get all of these?! |
Monster Shop Merchant |
Unnamed Huntress |
Spent some time in the “hospitable” land of Beast-Yeast! Ha ha! So? Whaddya think? Worth a bunch, eh? |
|
|
|
Hold on, just lay ‘em out here. I gotta make some room first... With everything going on in the kingdom, it’s crowded everywhere! HA! Lots of visitors, with their goods, and their money! |
Monster Shop Merchant |
Unnamed Huntress |
Yes, I heard something about a Princess Contest? What’s all the fuss about? Is the Princess... alright? |
|
|
|
Oh, you’ve been abroad for too long, haven’t ya? The Princess has long since left the Hollyberry Kingdom! |
Monster Shop Merchant |
| No matter how long we waited, she never came back! With a heavy heart, Her Majesty the Queen decided to select a new Princess. | ||
Unnamed Huntress |
Is that so...? Hm... And what about that dragon?! |
|
|
|
Who, the Greenish Red Dragon? Burned half the Kingdom to a crisp some time ago! |
Monster Shop Merchant |
| I believe the monster’s judging the Contest as we speak. Can you believe it? A dragon choosin’ our Princess! | ||
Unnamed Huntress |
BY THE WITCH’S GARLICKY BREATH! What happened here while I was away?! |
|
|
|
Eh, rumor has it, the Queen herself invited the crumblin’ monster! | Monster Shop Merchant |
| Oh, the times! I say: “Just let them choose their Princess and get this over with, so we could all have a breather!” | ||
Unnamed Huntress |
Are you saying the Dragon has been let INSIDE the Hollyberry Palace? |
|
| ... I must go, NOW. | ||
|
|
Just wait, you old fool! I haven’t even finished appraising yet! |
Monster Shop Merchant |
Unnamed Huntress |
... |
|
Unnamed Huntress |
I want to look at that... Dragon. | |
| After all, who, if not me, the famous tracker, should deal with beasts? Ha ha ha ha! | ||
|
|
Ha ha! And no one can stand in your way, I suppose. And, just be careful you! One of these days, you are gonna get yourself smashed into little crumbs! |
Monster Shop Merchant |
Unnamed Huntress |
Hey! Er... Inner Voice! |
|
| Hmm? What do you need?! I was in the middle of savoring my glass of ice-cold berry punch! |
Light of Passion | |
Unnamed Huntress |
It seems like I have started to remember things forgotten. Just like you said! |
|
| You know, that great shield o’ mine, the symbol of the Hollyberry dynasty, is at the Palace! | ||
| Ah yes, the one filled with berry jam and reinforced with golden lattice crust? Ah, yes, that was one splendid shield! | Light of Passion | |
Unnamed Huntress |
Yet even with a shield so great, I failed to protect those dear in the days of the Dark Flour War... |
|
| You know... I left because I thought I didn’t deserve a shield like that. I thought that my descendants will do the things I failed to do... | ||
Unnamed Huntress |
But! My old friend warned me about Dark Enchantress Cookie’s return. | |
| My Kingdom and the whole world is in danger, once again! | ||
| Finally, you sound like your good old self! | Light of Passion | |
| Go, go to the Palace! Find your shield, and make haste! | ||
| 12. Fierce Competition | ||
|---|---|---|
 Wizard Cookie |
Huuuh...? What was in that punch...? What happened...? | |
|
|
Wizard Cookie! You of all Cookies should know better! Remember what you used to say? "Always check the expiration date!" |
GingerBrave |
Princess Cookie |
Whew! I need a break. |
|
Princess Cookie |
Why are the Cookies always fighting?! It's not fun, AND it's exhausting! | |

How dare you! That's an insult to the noble House of Raspberry! We have built our culture and wealth with nothing but the tips of our swords! |
 Raspberry Cookie |
Princess Cookie |
Huh? How is that an insult?! |
|
|
|
Fighting is what molded us! What brought us above the other Cookie Houses! |
Raspberry Cookie |
| You just insulted the great deeds of my ancestors, who risked every speck of flour in their bodies upon their blade! | ||
| I demand an apology. Here and now! Princess Cookie! I challenge you to a duel! | ||
Knight Cookie |
I must warn you: if you ruin Her Highness's dress, you will have to answer to me! |
|
|
|
Step aside, Knight Cookie! This is MY battle. |
Princess Cookie |
| Time to find out what kind of dough she's made of! | ||
Princess Cookie |
Ha ha! Victory is mine! | |
|
|
My Princess! I'm so proud of you! | Knight Cookie |
| Truly, you are the embodiment of the Hollyberrian strength and battle spirit! | ||
Raspberry Cookie |
Hmm... I shall not forget today's lesson... for this defeat has been embedded into my very dough! |
|
|
|
Raspberry Cookie, gimme your hand! I'll help you up! | Princess Cookie |
Raspberry Cookie |
Get away from me! I don't need your help! |
|
Raspberry Cookie |
You may have won this time, but this isn't the end for House Raspberry. | |
| I am the proud descendant of House Raspberry, and I have no plans to give up my duty as the heiress. I WILL become the Princess! | ||
| ||
Host Cookie |
Pardon my interruption, but other contestants have already headed towards the Palace. Please, do not be late for the upcoming trial! |
|
|
|
Oh dear! A Princess simply cannot be late! Let's go! |
Princess Cookie |
Host Cookie |
Dear contenders and spectators! Your next Trial is about to begin. |
|
| The Hollyberry Princess has many duties. One of them is hearing her subjects' concerns and complaints with humbleness and patience. | ||
| Todays petitioner is an enthusiastic gardener who loses temper at the mere thought of strangers setting foot in their precious garden. | ||
| Your task is to pacify the angry gardener and enter the Palace Gardens. | ||
| 13. Pass the Royal Gardener! | ||
|---|---|---|
Knight Cookie |
This is the entrance to the Gardens, Your Highness. | |
Knight Cookie |
The Palace is right past it! | |
|
|
I wonder if my favorite dancing trees are still there... | Princess Cookie |
Knight Cookie |
Hmm, it looks like the others can't enter... |
|
|
|
My oh my! What do I see! Crumbly dress! Shoes covered in mud! |
 Royal Gardener |
| Everyone is so terribly messy! | ||
Knight Cookie |
Please make way! This is Her Royal Highness the Hollyberry Princess you're talking to! |
|
|
|
Yes, yes! Of course she is! And I am a Bear Jelly, ha ha! |
Royal Gardener |
| Princess or not, I won't let such a dirty creature step inside my beloved garden! Oh, no no no! | ||
| Have you no respect? I shall teach you a lesson! | ||
Royal Gardener |
I dropped my favorite gardening shears! Oh shame, shame on me! Ah, I have no right to call myself the Royal Gardener...! |
|
|
|
Calm down! You are the best gardener I've ever known! | Princess Cookie |
| The Palace Gardens bring so much joy and happiness to whoever steps inside! | ||
| And no one else can take better care of these flowers and trees! | Princess Cookie | |
Royal Gardener |
Oh, I'm so... touched! I couldn't have imagined you valued my work so highly...! |
|
| You are a true Hollyberry Princess! | ||
|
|
Aw, thank you! But I must prove to be worthy of the title first! |
Princess Cookie |
| Don't know what awaits me inside the Palace, but I'm sure I can make it! | Princess Cookie | |
|
Royal Gardener |
And I will gladly let you pass! Please, enjoy your time in the Palace Gardens! |
|
| I wish you good luck in your Princess Trials! | ||
|
|
And I will succeed! After all, my name is Princess Cookie, ha ha! |
Princess Cookie |
Raspberry Cookie |
Hmpf! Rest assured, I will not give up so easily. |
|
|
|
Looks like the real trial is only beginning...! | Princess Cookie |
