Sure, one can disappear from sight, but that doesn't mean the trust will disappear too!

As the Princess Contest continues and the tests escalate, a shadowed noble takes advantage of the bedlam and deploys mercenaries disguised as contest obstacles to dispose of the princesses. Meanwhile, Pitaya Dragon Cookie grows more restless, waiting for a worthy opponent to stand against their unmatched fury. Will the spirit of Hollyberry Cookie reawaken in time before the kingdom falls to flame?

---

01. Starting Now
Strawberry Cookie	Phew! We're inside. So, this is what the Hollyberry Palace is like, huh...!
	Welcome to the grand Princess Contest! Take these number cards, please. Your numbers are 504 to 509, thank you!	Host Cookie
Strawberry Cookie	Wow, so many Cookies passed the preliminaries...!
	Phew! FINALLY! I can't believe how stubborn that gardener was!	Licorice Cookie
Bat-Cat	Meowster, your many wits and talents made it possible!
	Look at this hopeless bunch. All here, hoping to become the "Princess."	???
	Perfect for sneaking in... I will NOT miss this opportunity!
Host Cookie	Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Terrific news! Princess Cookie has made it to the Final Trial!
	Shush... Lower your voice. This contest isn't for Princess Cookie.	Jungleberry Cookie
Royal Berry Cookie	But dear Jungleberry Cookie... Should we continue with the contest? The rightful heir DID come back...
	What we need right now, is a Cookie with strength and wisdom—someone who has fierce passion that can be recognized by the shield; not just someone of royal heritage.	Jungleberry Cookie
	If there is a Cookie worthier than Princess Cookie... then so be it.
Royal Berry Cookie	Yes yes, you are right. But I am not so sure how Princess Cookie will take it...
	We have no choice, my dear. Let us pray that the contest ends in peace... and do what we must do.	Jungleberry Cookie
	I shall go back to deal with the Dragon's tantrums. Dear, since we have visitors wandering around the palace grounds... Please make sure the 'treasure' is safely secured.
Royal Berry Cookie	Er, yes, yes, of course. Don't worry, dear!

02. A Dragon on the Throne
Pitaya Dragon Cookie	Oh. It'sss you again. And here I thought one worthy of a fight would visit...
	You sssee, you have this... wild, primal energy within you that reminds me of that spirit of... HERSSS!
	Please, have some patience. Someone with the passion as bright as hers shall appear to face you.	Jungleberry Cookie
Pitaya Dragon Cookie	HA! As bright as HERSSS?! I would not get my hopesss up if I were you! Need I remind you what I will do if I am disssappointed...?
	Naturally, you will burn this kingdom down with its Cookies. But that will not be required.	Jungleberry Cookie
	I only need a day, no, perhaps even less to bring you a Cookie that can hold their own against you.
Pitaya Dragon Cookie	Yes, yes, whatever it is, I shall look forward to it. I just want sssome fun, that's all.
	Ha ha ha! Just the thought of it is making my ssscales tingle! Here, here! Get me more juice!
	... Yes. I will tell the servants to prepare some.	Jungleberry Cookie
Unnamed Huntress	Ha ha ha! Finally reached the palace! The place looks like it hasn't changed at all!
	Let's see if it's still the same on the inside too!

03. Shadows Within the Contest
Host Cookie	Thank you for waiting, honorable Cookies! Are you all enjoying yourselves? We have more fun prepared for the day!
	Contestants, please gather at the Princess's Corner! Those who are late will be automatically disqualified!
	The Princess's Corner...? Where's that...?	Strawberry Cookie
Knight Cookie	Hmm... I don't recall a place like that from my days at the palace... It seems that it's been prepared for the contest!
	Then let's try this way!	Princess Cookie
Wizard Cookie	You're gonna go, just like that? Hey... you could get disqualified if you're wrong, you know!
	Don't worry, I've got a good feeling about this! He he. Besides, I used to play here all the time!	Princess Cookie
???	... Good. This is our chance. Everybody move out! Blend in and take down as many Cookies as you can!
	Yessir!	???
Choco Werehound Princess	Licorice Cookie! Bat-Cat! Please come this way! Hurry!
	Is it just me, or is he talking real funny?	Licorice Cookie
Bat-Cat	Meow-at? When you're addressing the princess, you should say, 'Her Highness!' We're her servants, remyeow-mber?
	Hey, whatever's gotten into you, snap out of it!	Licorice Cookie
Bat-Cat	*HISS* How can you expect to take over the kingdom with THAT attitude?! Meow gotta commit!
	D-did you just hiss at me?!	Licorice Cookie
Choco Werehound Princess	ENOUGH! YOU CALM DOWN! Ahem... Please, boys! We must remain calm and keep our composure at all times!
	He's... he's super into it!	Licorice Cookie
Princess Cookie	Oh? You lot...! You passed the preliminaries?
	You betcha! Her Highness, the Choco Werehound Princess is beauty, is grace, AND will WIN THE RACE!	Licorice Cookie
Wizard Cookie	Wasn't he fuming at "the princess" just now...?
	Oh, look! Over there! I see a bunch of contestants! It looks like we're at the right place after all!	Princess Cookie
Host Cookie	Contestants, the clock is ticking! Please standby! I'll be explaining the next event now!
	Oi! You lot over there! Hurry up! Time's almost over!

04. Roll, Roll, Roll With Grace
Host Cookie	As you are all aware, the Hollyberry Kingdom consists of many noble houses! Each house is famous for its berries, and oh-so rightfully so! Our berries are fresh, plump, and juicy!
	Now, it's only natural that our berry juices made from these rich berries are the finest in all of Earthbread! Which is why the next event is related to our famed berry juice! Drumroll, please!
	I feel like it's gonna be something big...	Strawberry Cookie
Wizard Cookie	Oh! Maybe it'll be like a blind taste test! You'd have to guess which berry juice it is! I heard freshly squeezed blueberry juice is good for the mind...
	The grrraceful, Barrel Run!	Host Cookie
Wizard Cookie	HUH?!
	There's nothing sadder than throwing away your hard-worked berry juice because it went bad! That's why you gotta roooll the barrel regularly to mix up the juice from time to time!	Host Cookie
	Which is why... every Hollyberry Princess is required to run atop the rolling barrels with royal grace and noble prowess!
	Now, contestants! Please get up on the berry barrels! If you fall, you'll be disqualified!
Choco Werehound Princess	W-wait! W-hat?! Oh dear, oh dear! I'm almost sure the barrels are gonna crash!
	No worries! The barrels of Hollyberry Kingdom contain the passion of the masters, making them ex-tra durable! They can withstand anything, even dragons!	Host Cookie
Strawberry Cookie	W-whoah! I can barely get up on one!
	Woohoo! Look at me, everyone! I'm up! How's everyone doing?!	GingerBrave
Princess Cookie	Ha ha! Easy-peasy!
	I must stay down and protect her highness!	Knight Cookie
	Cookies on barrels, 2 o'clock. Go get 'em!	Meddler 1
	Hyahhh!	Meddler 2
Shadow Assassin	Eyahhh!
Wizard Cookie	Ha! I knew it, meddlers! Everyone, get back! Let me give them a taste of my magic...!
	He he... There's always SOMEONE that's trying to bring others down! Looks like we can sit back on this one, eh? Princess?	Licorice Cookie
Choco Werehound Princess	Waaah! PESKY LITTLE CRUMBS!!! SCRAM! Don't make me lose my balance!
	What in the-? Rise, Licorice Minions! Go and take down anyone who dares to come in the way of our Princess!	Licorice Cookie
Strawberry Cookie	Um... Did... Licorice Cookie... just help us?
	N-no, I didn't help YOU! They were in Choco Werehound Princess's way. How dare they! YES!	Licorice Cookie
Wizard Cookie	It's not over yet! Look! A bunch of them are coming this way! And it's not just the meddlers, but other contestants are coming at us too!
	Oh, this won't do! Everyone, we gotta roll our way outta here! Follow me!	Princess Cookie

05. The Strongest Dancer
Host Cookie	And that's it, folks! How many standing contestants do we have?
	Uh... It looks like... Princess Cookie and Choco Werehound Princess were the only ones that survived on our side.	Strawberry Cookie
Wizard Cookie	Hold on, they're acting really weird...
	O' brave Licorice Cookie, you saved me!	Choco Werehound Princess
Licorice Cookie	Of course, darling... Or should I say... the future princess of Hollyberry Kingdom?
	Meow-of course, anything for the princess!	Bat-Cat
Princess Cookie	Aww, how romantic! But um, I'M the princess, guys! ME! Princess Cookie!
	Phew, I've worked up a sweat just by looking at you all work! Just who is going to be the winner of this contest?	Host Cookie
	Let's move on to the next trial, shall we? Which is... a dance party!
Cranberry Cookie	Ho ho! finally! My type of trial!
	But wait, there's more! Don't tell me... None of you actually thought this would be a breeze because it's a dance party, right?	Host Cookie
	Yes, the dance parties in the Hollyberry Kingdom are indeed full of laughter and fun! But unfortunately... not all participants come to boogie!
	To some, it is the window of opportunity to sneak in and hurt our dear princess!
Shadow Assassin	...!
	But as the princess of Hollyberry Kingdom, they must always be jolly, even in the face of danger.	Host Cookie
	That's right! For this round, all you have to do is keep dancing, no matter what happens!
	Ha ha! Sounds pretty simple, yes? But let's see about that! Queue music, please!
Princess Cookie	A dance party?! This is so much FUN! This feels like one big party, not some contest!
	My Princess, please be careful! I'm afraid that there will be meddlers this time as well...	Knight Cookie
Bat-Cat	Mya ha ha! Bring it! The Choco Werehound Princess will smash you to pieces!
	Do you know why Choco Werehound Princess carries around that hammer...? It's not just some accessory, you know. Go, Choco Werehound Princess! Show 'em what you're made of!	Licorice Cookie
Choco Werehound Princess	Ho ho ho ho! It's... HAMMER TIME!!!
	Ugh, it's too much. Just toooo much.	Wizard Cookie

06. Choco Werehound Princess is Serious
	Argh...	Meddler 1
Blueberry Cookie	Hya! Yiya! You're in my way! I need... to... show off my cuteness! And YOU'RE IN MY WAY!!
	AHA HA HA HA! IS THAT ALL?! Ahem... Ah, it feels quite so refreshing!	Choco Werehound Princess
Bumbleberry Cookie	Hmm, that one's got some pretty good moves... Alright then, time to up my game! HYA! RAH!
	Hmph, she can MOVE, sure... But do you not realize how strained her posture is?	Cranberry Cookie
	Dance, is the art of communication. But Choco Werehound Princess's moves are... just... flailing around.
Shadow Assassin	Is this some kind of joke to you all?! Take that!
	KYA! You can't attack me from behind! Like, how dishonorable is that?!	Blueberry Cookie
Raspberry Cookie	Hiyah! Hah!
	Ugh...	Shadow Assassin
Raspberry Cookie	Focus on the contest! This isn't just the dance floor. It's an arena of its own!
	Crumbs, we were supposed to take 'em out amidst the meddlers... Didn't expect them to be so ridiculously strong!	Shady Noble
	I guess we have no other choice... Time to involve the Greenish Red Dragon.
Host Cookie	That will be all!
Choco Werehound Princess	Huff... huff... huff...
	Now... it's been a while since y'all hit the dance floor! I see some are exhausted from all that dancing!	Host Cookie
	Hmm, that's quite a lot of disqualified contestants! Righty-O, everyone still dancing has passed this round!
Choco Werehound Princess	I did it! Oh dear, I can't believe I did it!
	Those crude, unrefined batches of dough... have passed!?	Cranberry Cookie
	Inexplicable! This... This is a disgrace to the Kingdom of Hollyberry!
Blueberry Cookie	I... guess? It was kinda scary when that... hammer smacked those Cookies away!
	And let's be honest, I'm sooo much cuter.
	I can't believe I'm being treated the same as some barbarians! House Cranberry will not stand this nonsense!	Cranberry Cookie
Choco Werehound Princess	How... How could anyone say something so harsh?!
	I gather that I'm also one of the "barbarians"? Will House Cranberry EVER not be so stuck-up?!	Bumbleberry Cookie
Host Cookie	Oh? Do I hear a protest from the contestants? And Cookies, please refrain from mentioning your families in this fair contest!
	Come on, everyone! It doesn't matter what kind of moves someone had as long as they had fun!	Princess Cookie
Licorice Cookie	... Why you... smug... aristocrats!
	Ridiculous! *Hiss*	Bat-Cat
Choco Werehound Princess	Yes... Yes, yes! I, I got so far fair and square! Know that your insults will not make me turn back now...!
Choco Werehound Princess	And you won't be able to ridicule me once you get a taste of my HAMMER! BRING IT!

07. A Misunderstanding
Choco Werehound Princess	Unbelievable... It's just not fair! I truly believed we had a chance to achieve greatness...
	I... I feel you, Choco Werehound Princess. It's my fault! If only I were more competent...	Licorice Cookie
Bat-Cat	Nya... I should've moved faster...
	Oh! Licorice Cookie! Bat-Cat!	Choco Werehound Princess
Licorice Cookie	Choco Werehound Princess!
	... If you ask me, I don't know what to think anymore.	Wizard Cookie
Host Cookie	Aw... Well, Choco Werehound Princess wasn't actually disqualified...
	But! Attacking other contestants is clearly against the rules... Therefore... DISQUALIFIED!
	What?! We weren't gonna be disqualified!?	Licorice Cookie
Host Cookie	Of course not! Our contest is fair and just! Other contestants' complaints have no influence on the judgement process!
	B-but...!	Choco Werehound Princess

08. A Dragon and a Shadow
Pitaya Dragon Cookie	Hm? What's that noissse outside? Is that the worthy opponent Jungleberry Cookie hasss found?!
Shady Noble	I believe not. There seems to be... a problem with the contestants.
	Finally, my juice is here! No need to pour me a glasss. Give me the whole barrel!	Pitaya Dragon Cookie
	And if they have a problem, jussst bring them to me! How many? One? A dozen? No matter! No one will ssstand a chance!
Shady Noble	Of course, Lord Dragon. Not a single winner of this charade can be a match for the glorious Greenish Red Dragon!
	However... If I dare say, Lord Dragon... I find it... odd that the Queen herself would fetch you a "worthy" opponent.
	Her sudden obedience, and how she keeps bringing you this... berry juice... It worries me greatly that she may be plotting something.
	Oh? Are you sssaying that Jungleberry Cookie is ssscheming against me?	Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Shady Noble	Oh no, no... What can I, a humble servant, possible know... But it's highly likely that she thinks you're in the palm of her hand!
	ME? The Great Dragon... in the palm of her PUNY hand?! HA! Preposssterous!	Pitaya Dragon Cookie
	I've changed my mind. I will no longer tolerate this insssolence! GRAAH!	Pitaya Dragon Cookie

09. Chamber of Courageous Obstacles
Royal Berry Cookie	My dear! Did you just hear that? Did something happen at the contest...?!
	Yes, is the treasure safe?! Thank goodness...	Jungleberry Cookie
Royal Berry Cookie	Of course! This shield protects our kingdom! Who would dare think of stealing it?!
	Phew... I only wish it were that simple... Hmm. Is it just me, or is the shield's light... flickering?	Jungleberry Cookie
Royal Berry Cookie	Huh? It is? Now that I look at it, it really does seem so!
	It flickered. As if... it was laughing...	Jungleberry Cookie
	I'm sorry, I must've imagined it... ha ha...

10. The End of the Hallway
Light of Passion	Geez, don't tell me you're lost!
	Ha ha! I ain't lost! It's just that... it's been so long! It's a trip down memory lane, you know?!	Unnamed Huntress
	Would you imagine? Everything looks just the same! The garden, the dining hall, even these halls...	Unnamed Huntress
Light of Passion	Oh? Then do you remember what lies ahead, at the end of these halls?
	At the end of these halls? That's...	Unnamed Huntress
Light of Passion	If you can't remember that, then it may as well be all for naught, my friend!
	Think! Remember! Something that you left behind, but something that was always with you nevertheless!
	Aha ha! I'm sorry, but never was a fan of riddles!	Unnamed Huntress
	Guess I'll have to go and find out myself! See what's at the end of this hallway!	Unnamed Huntress

11. Not the Judge?
Host Cookie	Let's see... Oh! No more than 10 contestants left! Looks like this'll be the final round!
	And the final trial is nothing else but... HUH?
	L-look!	GingerBrave
Wizard Cookie	DRAGON!!!
	I see. The judge will personally oversee this trial! So be it, I shall show everyone what House Raspberry is capable of!	Raspberry Cookie
Knight Cookie	What?! Wait a minute! The dragon's gonna attack! Everyone, TAKE COVER!
	RAAAAA!	Pitaya Dragon
GingerBrave	Wahhh!
	Watch out! That building is... Gone.	Strawberry Cookie
Princess Cookie	Hiya!
Raspberry Cookie	Hah!
	Is everyone alright?!	Princess Cookie
GingerBrave	Y-yeah! Thanks for saving me! What on Earthbread is going on?!
	Looks like the dragon... isn't here to judge!	Raspberry Cookie
Host Cookie	E-everyone! Evacuate! Go! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! S-s-s-tay c-c-c-c-alm!
	Evacuate? What do you mean "EVACUATE"? What about my contest?!	Princess Cookie
	How am I gonna show that I'm the only possible Hollyberry Princess!? ... UGH! That does it!
	If I must defeat that lizard to prove myself, I'm gonna DO IT! Come on, you! The Princess is here!	Princess Cookie
Raspberry Cookie	The audacity... to attack the heart of our kingdom... Absolutely unacceptable! That BEAST will get a taste of my blade!
	Run you fools! That pillar is gonna fall!	Wizard Cookie
Raspberry Cookie	Ugh...! At this state... neither Princess Cookie nor I can compete! What should I do...
	EVERYONE GET BACK! The building might crash down any minute!	Princess Cookie
Raspberry Cookie	It looks like I have my work cut out for me. Princess Cookie! I will evacuate the other Cookies!
	In the meantime, you'd better show that lizard the spirit of the Hollyberry Kingdom!
	Ooh, good idea! Thanks, Raspberry Cookie! I'll leave the rest to you then!	Princess Cookie
Raspberry Cookie	Don't you dare lose, Princess Cookie! Only I can beat you! You hear that?!
Raspberry Cookie	Everyone! The exit is this way! Follow me!
	Ooh, good! Let's all follow Raspberry Cookie!	GingerBrave

12. A Dragon!
Host Cookie	Y-y-y-y-your MAJESTY!
	What is going on!?	Jungleberry Cookie
Host Cookie	Th-the dragon has attacked the contest! Just out of n-n-nowhere! Wasn't the dragon occupied elsewhere?! I-I-I...
	Now, now. Let us calm down. No need to explain further. Dragons aren't known for their patience, after all...	Jungleberry Cookie
	Who is out there, facing the dragon?
Host Cookie	U-um, you see, that would be...
	... No, it can't be!	Jungleberry Cookie
Princess Cookie	HIYAAAH!
	Foul beast! Surely you remember the Cookie that sliced off your tail! You shall taste my blade once again!	Knight Cookie
	What? Tail? Huh.	Pitaya Dragon
Knight Cookie	How could you have forgotten..?! No matter. This will make you remember my sword!
Princess Cookie	Ugh, Knight Cookie! You're only gonna get yourself hurt! What would you do without me?
	Forgive me, Your Braveness... *Gasp* WATCH OUT!	Knight Cookie
Princess Cookie	Oh... Right, dragons can use their tails to attack as well! That was close! Thanks, Knight Cookie! He he!
	Ha ha! Funny bissscuitsss, aren't you?! You've got the NERVE to talk to each other while facing ME!?	Pitaya Dragon
	Let's sssee if you can laugh THIS off...!
Knight Cookie	Gah... Such power...! I can't... block...!
Princess Cookie	Knight Cookie, WATCH OUT!

13. Shadowy Sabotage
Raspberry Cookie	Be careful, everyone! Quickly! This way!
	Any other buildings falling apart?! Hey! Watch it there! More debris falling from above!	Bumbleberry Cookie
Raspberry Cookie	Phew, it looks like our plan of dividing the Cookies and taking different escape routes proved effective...
	Ugh, I just want to get this over with and leave! I only came for this silly contest, you know?	Bumbleberry Cookie
Raspberry Cookie	Wha—Bumbleberry Cookie, quit complaining. You're the one that offered help. Which... I am thankful for. You have my gratitude. House Raspberry is in your debt.
	Pfft, you don't have to thank me, I did what every Cookie of an esteemed berry house would do—wait, what? Hey!	Bumbleberry Cookie
Shadow Assassin	Hyah!
Raspberry Cookie	Ugh... An ambush?! I've seen these Cookies before... They're the meddlers from the contest!
	Tsk tsk, I bet you weren't expecting this attack! HIYAAAH!	Shadow Assassin
Raspberry Cookie	Everyone, en garde!
	They keep on coming! Why are you attacking us?! The contest is over! Stop meddling with us!	Bumbleberry Cookie
Raspberry Cookie	It looks like these treacherous Cookies have a different goal in mind!
	What? But why? As if evacuating everyone to safety isn't hard enough...!	Bumbleberry Cookie
Shadow Assassin	Ha! Evacuate? Foolish! You are not going ANYWHERE!
	What? What do you mean!?	Raspberry Cookie
Shadow Assassin	Why bother answering the question of a Cookie that will crumble away? YAH!
Raspberry Cookie	Oof...
	Ugh... But there's just one of them. One Cookie can't stop all of us... Something is not right!
	This Cookie is tougher than she looks! Oof!	Shadow Assassin
Raspberry Cookie	Already exhausted? But I've just begun! Spill your evil schemes! Hiya!
	Uh-oh, the civilians are in danger! Everyone, follow me! The exit is that way!	Bumbleberry Cookie
Raspberry Cookie	Wait, the exit?! That's it! They must've laid some kind of trap near the exit!
Raspberry Cookie	Bumbleberry Cookie, STOP! IT'S A TRAP! Don't go near the exit!
	Tsk...! Annoying girl!	Shadow Assassin
	Abort! Abort the ambush! Reveal yourselves! Move on to plan two! Destroy the exit!
Bumbleberry Cookie	There's more?! Wait, destroy the what?!
	Ha ha ha! Yes! Due to an unfortunate "accident"... All of you failed to escape!	Shadow Assassin
Raspberry Cookie	My blade... The blade of House Raspberry will stop you! I will stop you all!

14. Returning Memories
Raspberry Cookie	... Phew. I believe that's all of them. Wait... If we were attacked, that must mean the other Cookies must've been attacked as well!
	Hey, look over there! The Cookies are coming back!	Bumbleberry Cookie
Blueberry Cookie	Wow, that was a tough one! West exit team, fully evacuated, all safe and sound! Yep! Ugh, a bunch of weirdos tried to attack us. Loke, the contest is over! D'uh!
	Ahem, I take it that everyone made it out? The east exit had no problems, obviously.	Cranberry Cookie
Raspberry Cookie	Good. It's all up to Princess Cookie now.
Raspberry Cookie	Let's trust Princess Cookie and go defend our kingdom! Descendants of the noble berry houses, it is our duty!

15. Framed
Unnamed Huntress	I can't help but wonder why you wanted me to remember what was in this room! Oh! IS it the berry juice storage?!
	C'mon! I get that you're always lookin' up ahead and movin' forward, but don't forget to look back once in a while!	Light of Passion
Unnamed Huntress	Oh, will you stop it with the riddles! I'm going in!
	Hmm? This place is... Yes, I remember! I had paintings up on the walls to commemorate different historic events!
	Yes, you did!	Light of Passion
Unnamed Huntress	See, this is on the founding day of my kingdom! And that's when my son married Jungleberry Cookie...
Unnamed Huntress	Ha ha, look at his big, goofy smile! Aw, that kid had me worried sometimes, you know? Boy, am I glad he met her!
Unnamed Huntress	He always had a good eye for Cookies, even as a kid. Yes. They're gonna do just fine, even without me. Yes... ha ha...
	And these must be...
	Yes?	Light of Passion
Unnamed Huntress	... My grandchildren.
	...	Light of Passion
Unnamed Huntress	I... don't recognize any of these pictures. This must be when she took her first step.
Unnamed Huntress	Pa ha ha! What's this, when she won an eating contest?! Ha ha! She's a real chip off the old dough! She's exactly like me!
Unnamed Huntress	Wait... I recognize that little Cookie! She's the one participating in that contest.
	NOW do you get it?	Light of Passion
Unnamed Huntress	Well... I guess... They're all the things I left behind. The kingdom and my family.
	Yes. The family I left behind...
	... And yet, they're following in my footsteps, succeeding my name and my strength.
	Yes. You may have turned your back on your legacy, but that didn't make it vanish.	Light of Passion
	The memories, the spirit of Hollyberry Cookie were always here. And to some Cookies, that was enough.
Unnamed Huntress	Of course, now I understand. It was foolish of me to think that everyone would forget me just because I disappeared.
Unnamed Huntress	Me, of all Cookies! Who put trust above everything else! Sure, one can disappear from sight, but that doesn't mean the trust will disappear too!
	I'm so glad that we got that over with! I believe you have some unfinished business to take care of!	Light of Passion
Unnamed Huntress	Unfinished business?
	Whoa there... What's all this commotion about? Where's this coming from? ...! The contest!

16. Dragon Hunt
Jungleberry Cookie	We haven't found the Cookie worthy of the shield yet! Why has the dragon suddenly gone berserk?!
	I... I don't know! But look! All of our Cookies have taken shelter!	Royal Berry Cookie
	Wait, who's that brave Cookie fighting against the dragon? Oh my! OH MY! IT'S PRINCESS COOKIE!
Jungleberry Cookie	What? Princess Cookie?!
	Oh dear, oh dear! What should we do, what should we do?! She's barely holding off!	Royal Berry Cookie
Jungleberry Cookie	But Princess Cookie... how...? Why...? No, my dear king, we must gather our wits at times like this!
	Our Cookies will be confused, if not more than us right now. Please head out and reassure the citizens!
	But our Princess! A-and, what about you, my Queen?!	Royal Berry Cookie
Jungleberry Cookie	DARLING! You must calm down!
	... Yes, quite right!	Royal Berry Cookie
Jungleberry Cookie	I will find a way. As I have always done. Do you trust me?
	... Yes, a thousand times yes. You are a Cookie of her word. I trust you. I have faith in you! Be safe, my love!	Royal Berry Cookie
	Ha ha ha! You may not be as ssstrong as her, but you're quite interesting! Puny and weak, but formidable, nonethelessss!	Pitaya Dragon
Princess Cookie	Whatever, you big bully! Just go away already!
	Oh, but I'm just ssstarting to have fun! Let's sssee if you can block my attack this time as well!	Pitaya Dragon
Jungleberry Cookie	NO! Dear Princess Cookie...! Run! RUN!
	Hey! Get outta my way!	Unnamed Huntress
Unnamed Huntress	Oiii! You big, good-for-nothing lizard! Why don't you pick on someone your own size! Remember me from the Berry Fields!?
	Lizard?! Who daresss call me "LIZARD"!? Wait, you're...!	Pitaya Dragon
Unnamed Huntress	Too much talk for a "scary" dragon! Let's see if you still feel like talking after THIS!
Jungleberry Cookie	Wait, that Cookie is...!
	I must go back! With her here, Princess Cookie will be safe for now.

17. Hollyberry Cookie and Princess Cookie
Princess Cookie	Wow, that Cookie saved my life!
	Ahem, your Highness, it looks like all the other Cookies have successfully evacuated.	Knight Cookie
Princess Cookie	Now what? It doesn't seem like that Cookie can defeat the dragon alone!
	It pains me to say so, but our strength is just not enough... It may be better to go and stay clear of their way!	Knight Cookie
Princess Cookie	But... if the Princess runs away, then who's gonna protect this kingdom?
Princess Cookie	Running away is not an option. I can't... I won't!
Unnamed Huntress	Ugh...
	Whoa! Are you okay?!	Princess Cookie
Unnamed Huntress	Princess Cookie? Why are you still here? You should've joined the others...
	Ha ha! Sssure, I alssso enjoy a good chassse. But is it just me... or have you grown... WEAK? What happened to you?	Pitaya Dragon
Unnamed Huntress	Seriously, when did you become such a chatterbox?! You must be getting old, lizard! Fight now, talk later!
	Get back, you two!
	Oh, I sssee! You're trying to protect those Cookies! I can take care of that. Let us fight without any hinderance!	Pitaya Dragon
Knight Cookie	The dragon is coming this way! Take cover, your Highness! I will fend off the beast!
	Ooh! That slimy lizard... You've grown old AND cranky!	Unnamed Huntress
	MOLDY CRUMBS...! I don't know if I can hold off that attack without my shield...!	Unnamed Huntress
Jungleberry Cookie	Hollyberry Cookie! Take this!
Princess Cookie	Whaaat?! Hollyberry Cookie?!
	Ha ha! Let's save the intros for later! Now, when I give you two the signal, give that lizard all you got! Understood?!	Hollyberry Cookie
	Don't worry: this shield will protect us from any attack!	Hollyberry Cookie
	ROARRRR!	Pitaya Dragon
Hollyberry Cookie	NOW! The dragon's out of breath! Go straight for the head!
	IYAAAAH!	Princess Cookie
Knight Cookie	Hiya!

18. What's Left Behind
Pitaya Dragon Cookie	Krgh... No, that doesss not count! Come one by one!
Hollyberry Cookie	Hah! Now that felt just like the good old days! But you went too far this time!
Hollyberry Cookie	If you wanted to spar, you should've left my kingdom be! Silly old lizard.
	Hmp, you're always like that! We exchange a few hitsss, and then you disappear!	Pitaya Dragon Cookie
Hollyberry Cookie	What can I say? A Cookie needs to stretch her legs! But let me very clear: if you touch the kingdom again, I'm not going to spar with you, ever again!
	Oh? Isss that a threat? Fine. I don't feel like fighting anyway. I ssshall come back later!	Pitaya Dragon Cookie
	But next time, I WILL burn the whole palace down! HA HA HA!
Hollyberry Cookie	Why I oughta...!
	Princess Cookie! Dearest! Are you alright?! No crumbs? Cracks?!	Royal Berry Cookie
Hollyberry Cookie	You're lookin the same as ever!
	M-mother?! Is that really you?! I-I'm not imagining things, am I?	Royal Berry Cookie
Jungleberry Cookie	Darling, this is really Hollyberry Cookie, in the dough. She helped Princess Cookie and drove out the dragon.
	Jungleberry Cookie! Perfect timing you had there! If you didn't bring me my shield, it would've been a pickle! I see that you two held up the fort pre-tty well!	Hollyberry Cookie
Jungleberry Cookie	You're too kind. I have so much to learn.
	Ha ha! Look at you, talking all proper! Let's see if you have honed your hunting skills as well!	Hollyberry Cookie
Princess Cookie	Mama! A-and... Grandmama... ?
	Aw kid, I didn't do enough to be called that! Just call me Hollyberry Cookie!	Hollyberry Cookie
Jungleberry Cookie	... Princess Cookie, I see that you've made good friends, other than Knight Cookie.
	Oh, you saw everything? I... I thought you were inside the palace the whole time...	Princess Cookie
Jungleberry Cookie	You're my daughter. Of course I saw everything. I knew the minute you set foot on these lands.
	I needed to know if you were willing to walk this path. Whether you had the strength to endure everything and if you had reliable friends to help you on your journey.
	How am I supposed to know that?! I thought you didn't care about me at all!	Princess Cookie
Jungleberry Cookie	I'm sorry, dear child... But please know that I stood back because I had faith in you. Look at you now. You've grown so much.
	Ooh! Does that mean I can go on adventures again?!	Princess Cookie
Jungleberry Cookie	As long as you don't disappear without a single word, I don't see why not. Wouldn't you agree, Hollyberry Cookie?
	Hey, easy there! I get it, I get it!	Hollyberry Cookie
Princess Cookie	*giggles* You too, Hollyberry Cookie? Looks like we have something in common!
	*Sigh* Did you have to take after that one particular quality? Hold on, now. Before you two leave again, let me get you something for the road.	Jungleberry Cookie

19. Trust and Longing
Royal Berry Cookie	They left... *sigh* Aw, I miss them already.
	As do I, my love. I'm afraid that our kingdom is simply not enough for them.	Jungleberry Cookie
	Princess Cookie may have left for now, but she will come back. Once she has seen the wonders of Earthbread, learned its secrets, she'll be back as a new, stronger Cookie.
	Until then, let us restore the kingdom to its former glory. That is our duty to this beautiful kingdom.
	We must find Cookies to aid the kingdom's reconstruction efforts. From architects to artists...anyone with skills can come join us.
Royal Berry Cookie	Splendid idea. Why don't you go rest up for a bit? You went through so much! I'll tell the servants to prepare some warm juice!
Jungleberry Cookie	That should liven up the kingdom somewhat. From now on, we should rely on our own strengths rather than on Hollyberry Cookie's alone.
	If only Princess Cookie was still with us... I wouldn't be so worried for our kingdom.
Jungleberry Cookie	... Hmm?
	Was that... a Cookie? Was it her? Something about that Cookie reminded me of her.
	Even if my wish is vain... I can't help but hope to see her again, even if it's just for one last time.
