| 01. Fragrant Cookie | ||
|---|---|---|
 | ||
 |
Oh, doopty-do! This is not good! | |
|
|
What's wrong? Is the kingdom under attack? |
 |
 Timid Sugar Gnome |
A MONSTER...! It's round and breathes fire! |
|
|
|
Hmm... The description matches a dragon! |
 |
 GingerBrave |
Let's go check it out! |
|
| Whoa! | ||
| That's not a dragon... It's... an airship. |
 | |
 Wizard Cookie |
I wonder what sort of magic makes it float! Look at those yellow flames coming out! |
|
|
|
Oh, look! There's a Cookie getting out of the airship! |
GingerBrave |
 Strawberry Cookie |
Oh... She smells nice...! So fragrant, you can't help but smile... |
|
|
|
Hello there! I'm Golden Osmanthus Cookie. |
 |
 GingerBrave |
Well, hiya! Welcome to the Cookie Kingdom! My name's GingerBrave! |
|
|
|
So, this is the Cookie Kingdom. |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
| This place is so pretty and quaint! History and tradition live and breathe here. | ||
 |
Nah, take a closer look! The place's barely holding together. |
|
|
|
Are you here on an adventure, Golden Osmanthus Cookie? |
 GingerBrave |
 Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
Well, the thing is... Trouble came to the place I hail from, the Flower City. |
|
| Our city has been plagued by the disrupted cycle of seasons. This caused the Cookievorous Plants to run rampant. | ||
 Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
We've used a special fragrance to repel these monsters, but the effect has grown weaker recently. | |
| Now, the walls of the Flower City are being torn apart, brick by brick, by these plant monsters. | ||
|
|
How scary...! |
 Strawberry Cookie |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
Indeed... We're in dire need of help. |
|
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
That is why, as a perfumer, I embarked on this journey. I am determined to find a way to repel these Cookievorous Plants once and for all. | |
|
|
Don't worry! We'll help you out! |
GingerBrave |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
You are... most gracious. I will be grateful for all and any help. |
|
 Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
If it's not too much to ask... Is there a place in this kingdom where I could stay? | |
|
|
Oho, this is where I step in! Don't worry, we'll build a Cookie House for you! |
 Timid Sugar Gnome |
 Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
... A Cookie House? You're willing to build a separate lodging for a Cookie you've just met? |
|
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
The denizens of this kingdom are most kind-hearted! | |
|
|
Everyone is welcome here! And, we're determined to make every Cookie here happy! |
 GingerBrave |
 Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
Oh, I can't wait to conduct my research here! |
|
| 02. The Perfumery | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
 |
Ooh! So, this is where our guest is staying, huh? |
|
|
|
This Cookie House should be it! At least, according to the Sugar Gnome's blueprints! |
 |
| Knock knock! It's us, Golden Osmanthus Cookie! |
||
| Welcome, everyone! Come on in. |
| |
 |
Oh, wow... Your place looks so different from all the other Cookie Houses...! |
|
|
|
Thank you! I decorated it like a perfumery! |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
|
Strawberry Cookie |
The Sugar Gnomes are amazing... |
|
|
|
WOW! This place is huge! |
GingerBrave |
|
Wizard Cookie |
Right you are! The inside looks much bigger than the outside! |
|
| Wonder if it's some kind of secret Gnome magic... | ||
|
|
Oh, it's all thanks to my flower arrangements! |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
| Back in my city, Cookies arrange flowers in harmony with the surrounding space. It helps spruce it up and bring positive energy to your home! |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie | |
|
Strawberry Cookie |
Your hometown sounds... so interesting! |
|
|
|
Are these tools for the flowers as well? |
GingerBrave |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
These are used for making fragrances- an incense that will hopefully save the Flower City. |
|
|
|
Whoa, there's a bunch! |
GingerBrave |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
Oh yes, different scents require different tools. |
|
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
For example, burning this incense will allow you to see the thing you desire the most. | |
|
GingerBrave |
Golly! The Cookie Kingdom is RICH! | |
|
|
Now, if you'll forgive me, I must take off to gather ingredients to chase those plants away. |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
| Meanwhile, please do let me know if you find something useful! |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie | |
|
GingerBrave |
Leave it up to us! We'll let everyone in the kingdom know as well! |
|
| 03. Gift from the Kingdom | ||
|---|---|---|
|
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie! We found stuff that's useful! | |
|
|
Yes! We've been reading up and researching! |
|
| These ingredients may scare those plants away. | ||
|
GingerBrave |
Yeah! Take a look and see if there're anything useful! |
|
 | ||
|
|
That's... | |
|
|
I found this in the forest, see! |
 |
| Note how it looks! Extra scary! |
 Custard Cookie III | |
| No wonder animals don't come near it! |
 Custard Cookie III | |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
Hm... |
|
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
This dried twig has a peculiar scent to it. | |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
I assume that is what keeps other creatures at bay. | |
|
|
Wait, so it's not because it's so scary-looking?! |
 Custard Cookie III |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
That could be a contributing factor... But yes, one thing is for sure. There is something... unique about this branch. |
|
|
|
AHEM! I knew it! |
Custard Cookie III |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
I'll keep researching the ingredients you've all brought for me. |
|
| (I have a feeling this... mystical branch will be of good use.) | ||
| 04. A Surprising Scent | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
 |
Your Highness, Princess Cookie! Please, wait for me! |
|
|
|
Ooh, that must be that Perfumer Cookie's house! Come on, Knight Cookie! Hurry up! |
 |
 Knight Cookie |
I wish I could... But these packages are quite heavy... |
|
 Princess Cookie |
Hello? Anyone home? | |
|
|
(What a friendly Cookie...) |
|
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
*Creak...* | |
| Hello, I'm Golden Osmanthus Cookie. May I ask your name? | ||
|
|
I knew it! I've come to the right place! |
Princess Cookie |
| Here! These are the ingredients Knight Cookie and I foraged! | ||
 Knight Cookie |
You see, we heard from the Sugar Gnomes...! |
|
| That you've come on this adventure to save countless lives of Cookies and your city... | ||
 Knight Cookie |
It must've been a difficult journey. I applaud your courage. | |
|
|
I... Thank you, but it really isn't much. |
 Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
 Princess Cookie |
You're no princess like me, but I think we have a lot in common! |
|
| I hope you can save the Cookies from your hometown! | ||
|
Princess Cookie |
Do you wanna see what we've brought for you? | |
| ||
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
What a... strong smell... | |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
It's been a while since I've smelled something so pungent! | |
|
|
This is a specialty from the Tropical Soda Islands! Even the most seasoned adventurers flee at the stench! |
Princess Cookie |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
This will be very useful in creating a scent to ward off the Cookievorous plants! |
|
|
|
You were right as always, Your Highness! |
 Knight Cookie |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
This durian rind will be useful for my research! |
|
| 05. A Familiar Scent | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
 |
A familiar scent... | |
| I sense danger... | ||
|
|
But... it's rather sweet and pleasant as well. | |
| It reminds me of a mansion in the desert underneath the nightsky. | ||
| This place looks like a fragrance boutique. | ||
| Hello? | ||
| ... |
 Lilac Cookie | |
|
|
Hello? How can I help you...? |
|
|
|
I smelled something rather pleasant passing by! How much are your wares? |
|
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
Ah, that must be the scent I just created. | |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
It includes sandalwood, lakawood, and lilac. | |
|
|
I knew it! No wonder it smells so familiar! | |
|
Lilac Cookie |
... | |
|
|
With this scent, I don't require your protection! You can even go on a vacation! |
|
 Lilac Cookie |
... That is not going to happen. | |
|
|
I can share some of the fragrance if it pleases you. |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
| But before I do... could I ask you one question? | ||
| You seem to be knowledgeable about these ingredients. Have you ever seen them having any effect on dangerous creatures? |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie | |
| Hmm... |
| |
| There was that Jelly Serpent Cookie. |
Lilac Cookie | |
| Right you are! That one had a nasty temper! |
| |
| We lifted the curse and set Jelly Serpent Cookie free! | ||
| AND obtained an extremely valuable treasure, too, in reward! | ||
| Perhaps, each creature might have their own reasons for violence... I should keep searching to find the source of the problem. |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie | |
| I never thought of it that way... Thank you. |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie | |
| This is the scent you wanted. Thank you again for your story. |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie | |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
(I must go back to work and find what happened to the plants of my land.) |
|
| 06. Finding Us | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
 |
Ah, would you look at the time... I've been completely engrossed in my research. |
|
|
|
ESPRESSO COOKIE! |
 |
 Espresso Cookie |
... |
|
 Espresso Cookie |
Please lower your voice. It's the middle of the night. | |
 Espresso Cookie |
... What's that in your hand? | |
|
|
Never you mind that! Let's go find that perfumer Cookie! |
 Madeleine Cookie |
| I hear she's on a quest to save her hometown! |
 Madeleine Cookie | |
| May the Light illuminate her and her sacred mission. My oath dictates that I must go help this Cookie! |
 Madeleine Cookie | |
|
Espresso Cookie |
Hm. You seem to be forgetting it is not proper etiquette to go barging in a lady's abode in such an hour. |
|
|
|
It's your fault you're spending so much time with your experiments! Hey, wait for me! |
 Madeleine Cookie |
 Espresso Cookie |
The lights are still on in that new Cookie House. | |
| Bang! | ||
 |
Cough cough... | |
|
|
Are you alright? |
 Madeleine Cookie |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
I was tweaking the ratio of my new blend before I called it a day... But I made a mistake with the measurements. |
|
|
|
That's why we brought a new ingredient for you! I hope this will aid your research. |
Madeleine Cookie |
| ||
|
Espresso Cookie |
... | |
|
|
... |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
|
Madeleine Cookie |
Amazing, is it not? |
|
|
Madeleine Cookie |
The Divine Light protects us! Even the fiercest of beasts will run with tails between their legs when they see my self-portrait! | |
|
|
Is he... always so confident...? |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
 Espresso Cookie |
... |
|
| ||
|
Espresso Cookie |
Have you considered adjusting the ratio of your blend? You could make good use of that energy wave you created earlier. |
|
|
Espresso Cookie |
It might create a vortex and suck in everything in the vicinity, just like one of my Coffee Magic spells. | |
|
|
Yes, you are right! I should introduce an extra ingredient to balance out the blend! |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
| You truly are the master of Coffee Magic, Espresso Cookie! I'm learning so much! |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie | |
 Espresso Cookie |
Don't mention it! Researchers working late at night should help each other. |
|
|
|
Thank you! I would be happy to see you in the Flower City one day! |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
| There are many esteemed wizards who could help with your research. | ||
 Madeleine Cookie |
Of course! We promise! |
|
|
|
Haa... |
Espresso Cookie |
| 07. Like-Minded Cookies | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
 |
Knock knock! | |
| Hello? Anybody home? | ||
|
|
Oh, hello there! I'm sorry, but I don't think we've met! |
|
 Latte Cookie |
I'm Latte Cookie! I heard you were looking for ingredients to ward off dangerous creatures! |
|
|
|
Meow! |
 Milk Foam Cat |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
I see you brought a furry little guest with you. |
|
|
|
Ha ha, this here is my work buddy. |
Latte Cookie |
| Oh, my days in the Latte Atelier would be terribly boring with my friend! | ||
| But back to business! |
Latte Cookie | |
| I heard about your experiment from Espresso Cookie. Perhaps a little Latte Magic could help you out? | ||
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
Latte Magic? |
|
|
|
Mhm! There is a variety of ways to invoke Latte Magic! |
Latte Cookie |
| For example, we could conjure a Latte Glyph on top of a Coffee Glyph! | ||
| This way, we can utilize both forms of magic freely, without the confines of calculations and formulas! |
Latte Cookie | |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
"Without the confines of calculations of formulas", hm... I admit, this is very different from what I know and learned about perfumery. |
|
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
Using Latte Magic could potentially produce unexpected results... | |
|
|
MEOW!!! |
 Milk Foam Cat |
| ||
|
Latte Cookie |
Oh my! What's wrong, my friend...? | |
|
|
It seems as your furry friend was startled by Madeleine Cookie's portrait. He said it holds Light Magic that chases away animals... |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
| I didn't think much of it at the time... | ||
| But it seems Madeleine Cookie spoke the truth after all... |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie | |
|
Latte Cookie |
Ha ha ha... |
|
| 08. The Ceremony | ||
|---|---|---|
 | ||
 |
I hear a new magic-wielding Cookie has arrived in the Cookie Kingdom. |
|
| Someone who uses magic no one's ever seen before. | ||
| This could jeopardize our Master's grand plan. | ||
 Pomegranate Cookie |
Perhaps we should check... just in case. | |
 Pomegranate Cookie |
No one should be home right now... | |
| Thud! | ||
 |
Dizzy... Very dizzy... | |
| Thud! | ||
| Two Cookies are out cold... |
| |
| I suspected I'd have some unwanted visitors... Good thing I burned this incense before I left. |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie | |
| 09. Secrets of the Depth | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
 |
This darkness... I cannot see anything... Wait, a faint light ahead... |
|
 |
My most loyal servant, Pomegranate Cookie. You have finally arrived. |
|
| You have worked hard, day and night... | ||
|
|
... |
Pomegranate Cookie |
 |
Dark Enchantress Cookie now rules the Vanilla Kingdom! |
|
|
|
Look at her statue right in the middle of the courtyard! |
 |
 |
The fountains are flowing with strawberry jam! Miyaow! |
|
|
|
Glory to Dark Enchantress Cookie! |
 |
 Dark Enchantress Cookie |
We could not have achieved this victory without you, Pomegranate Cookie. |
|
|
Dark Enchantress Cookie |
Now, tell me what you wish. | |
|
|
My only wish is to serve you, my Master. I wish to see the dawn of a new world by your side. |
Pomegranate Cookie |
 Dark Enchantress Cookie |
Very well. All there is left to do is sprinkle sugar all over, so that all Cookies can lead lives full of joy and wonder! |
|
|
|
!!! |
 Pomegranate Cookie |
|
Pomegranate Cookie |
No... My Master, what are you saying...?! |
|
|
|
You're awake! |
|
|
Pomegranate Cookie |
You... You did this to me...?! What magic did you use to show me this horrible vision?! |
|
| *Cough cough* I'll let it pass... Just this once. | ||
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
(Even though they are close colleagues, they dream of different things.) |
|
| (Sometimes, dreams reveal something hidden deep within...) | ||
| (I found a new ingredient to protect oneself from nightmares...) | ||
| (I'll call these Nightmare Crystals... and keep them stored for future use...) | ||
| 10. Cookievorous Plant Tamer | ||
|---|---|---|
| Knock knock! | ||
| How strange. I don't see anyone outside. |
| |
| Knock knock! |
| |
| Still no one... |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie | |
| Knock knock! |
| |
| Am I hearing things now...? |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie | |
 |
OooooOooooo! |
|
|
|
Sorry! I didn't see you down there... |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
 Sorbet Shark Cookie |
OooOooO! |
|
|
|
Hmm... I'm sorry, but I don't understand you. |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
|
Sorbet Shark Cookie |
OooooOooooOOOOOO! |
|
|
|
Would you like to come inside for a cup of tea? |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
|
Sorbet Shark Cookie |
Ooo? |
|
|
|
This is my incense burner. Breathe in the scent, and you will see the happiest moment of your life. |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
|
Sorbet Shark Cookie |
OoooOOoOo! |
|
|
|
Ah, I see! Your happiest memory is sailing the seas! |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
| If you hail from the ocean... Would you like to try this scent? |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie | |
|
Sorbet Shark Cookie |
Oh! How marvelous! I can become a shark even on land! |
|
|
Sorbet Shark Cookie |
I hear Cookies of the kingdom are looking for a way to chase away monsters... |
|
| Land-dwelling creature will surely feel fearful when faced with the boundless grandeur of the ocean! | ||
|
Sorbet Shark Cookie |
Now that I think about it, I saw a sea cave in the depths, radiating the power of the ocean... |
|
|
Sorbet Shark Cookie |
OooOoOooOOoo... | |
|
|
Ah... The incense has burnt out. |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
| I'll have to bring more next time from my hometown. Still, this was enlightening! |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie | |
| Thank you so much, traveler from the depths! |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie | |
|
Sorbet Shark Cookie |
OoooOOoOo! |
|
|
|
I'll head to sea to find ingredients holding the power of the ocean. |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
| 11. Time to Concoct | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
 |
What a beautiful day! I'll go on a walk with Cookiesnap! |
|
|
|
Hiss! |
 |
|
|
Careful! |
|
|
|
Hmm? What seems to be the matter? |
 Herb Cookie |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
It's a Cookievorous plant! Run for your life!!! |
|
|
|
Hiss! |
Cookiesnap |
 Herb Cookie |
Don't worry! This here is my good friend. |
|
|
Herb Cookie |
Cookiesnap might seem a little intimidating, but their story will bring anyone to tears... | |
|
Herb Cookie |
You see, Cookiesnap almost got eaten by a Blue Pomegranate Snake outside the kingdom. | |
 Herb Cookie |
It took a lot of time for Cookiesnap to heal. | |
|
|
A Blue Pomegranate Snake... |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
|
Cookiesnap |
Hiss! Hissss!!! |
|
|
|
Cookiesnap must be upset by bringing up that painful memory. |
Herb Cookie |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
It's quite surprising to see someone befriend a Cookievorous plant. |
|
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
Back where I'm from, only the most skilled hunters could handle plants like these. | |
| Now that they have grown so dangerous... many of those Cookies disappeared... | ||
|
|
That's... very sad to hear. |
Herb Cookie |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
Wild plants called "Fairy Flowers" make them lose their way... |
|
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
These plants have delicate violet leaves that resemble a magnificent dress. |
|
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
They even let out a luminous glow at night, lethal for travelers. | |
|
|
Sounds like a very alluring plant indeed. |
Herb Cookie |
| I'd like to see them someday! | ||
|
Cookiesnap |
Hiss! Hissss!!! |
|
|
|
Cookiesnap seems to agree. |
Herb Cookie |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
... |
|
| 12. Farewell! | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
|
|
I was able to collect ingredients quickly all thanks to the kind-hearted Cookies of the kingdom. |
|
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
A fragrant dried branch. | |
| Powdered durian rind that repels venomous mosquitos. | ||
| Nightmare Crystals. | ||
| Topaz powder containing the power of the ocean. | ||
| Indeed, this scent can free your soul and open up your mind. | ||
| A powerful energy wave created from a blend of ingredients. | ||
| And last but not least, the scales of a Blue Pomegranate Snake that Cookiesnap fears. | ||
| Everything is set. It's time to test my invention. | ||
 | ||
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
Beyond the kingdom's borders, where dangerous creatures might dwell. |
|
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
Oh! It's the Blue Pomegranate Snake Herb Cookie mentioned! | |
|
|
Hiss... Hiss... |
 |
| Hiss?! | ||
| HISSSS!!! | ||
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
The new incense is working! | |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
Who knew I'd find a way to aid the Flower City this fast... | |
|
|
Congratulations, Golden Osmanthus Cookie! |
|
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
GingerBrave, everyone! You're all here! |
|
|
|
We followed you after we saw you leave the kingdom alone. |
|
|
|
We were waiting in the bushes since we didn't want to disturb you... |
|
|
|
Thanks to you all, I was able to find a new way to make my incense! |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
| The Cookie Kingdom is truly a remarkable place. |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie | |
| ||
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
But... I must hurry back to the Flower City. | |
|
Golden Osmanthus Cookie |
Please visit the Flower City someday! I'll be waiting! | |
|
|
I can't wait to see Golden Osmanthus Cookie's home! |
 Wizard Cookie |
| Ready for departure, miss? |
| |
| I didn't think I'd meet you here, Ace Pilot Cookie! |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie | |
| Opening new air routes is my duty. |
| |
| Hold on tight! | ||
| Farewell, everyone! |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie | |
| GingerBrave, please come visit the Osmanthus Perfumery in the Southern Ward of the Flower City! |
Golden Osmanthus Cookie | |
