Two Years of Kingdom: Side Stories
The War Under Shattered Skies
Eclair Cookie: It’s the Cookie Alliance so… It was truly a thrilling experience.
Eclair Cookie: To be able to record moments of history you’ve witnessed yourself! How exciting!
Eclair Cookie: Wait, does that mean we should put this record at with* the Tea Leaf Knights records or the Beacon of Legends records?
Eclair Cookie: Uhm… I wonder if it’s a good idea to store such important records in the same place…
Espresso Cookie: Is Eclair Cookie here?
Eclair Cookie: Oh, a guest. Did you come to tour the museum?
Espresso Cookie: No. I’m here to return the material I borrowed.
Eclair Cookie: Ah, if that’s the case, please leave it on the table. I’ll sort it out!
Eclair Cookie: Hmm, should I just write a new book together… It’s good to look at history from multiple angles, but… Uhm…
Espresso Cookie: You seem busy. Well then, I’ll be off…
Eclair Cookie: Wait!!!!!
Eclair Cookie: Since you’re here, I’d like to ask you for your opinion!
Espresso Cookie: I’m a busy Cookie myself, but… SIgh, what is it?
Eclair Cookie: You’re aware that the Cookie Alliance is a huge event that will make its mark on Cookie history, right?
Eclair Cookie: I’m considering how to record and classify the incident. As always, the best thing to do is to compile more works from many various fields…
Espresso Cookie: …I’m not sure. Is that necessary?
Eclair Cookie: I’m sorry?
Espresso Cookie: I’m saying, is there a need to do that when you’re already right there.
Espresso Cookie: Conveying that which cannot be conveyed through writing. Is that not the job of a historian?
Eclair Cookie: Oh?!
Espresso Cookie: I understand the urge to share your experience of such a huge and important event, but…
Espresso Cookie: There are always limits on writing.
Espresso Cookie: Without your help this time, I would have had to search through all dragon-related materials one by one.
Espresso Cookie: Who knows, perhaps there would have been no chance for the heroes who were forgotten from history to reveal them self again.
Espresso Cookie: Well… that’s… Yes. Do as you please.
Eclair Cookie: Espresso Cookie…!
Eclair Cookie: Right. That’s it! I had forgotten that for a moment!
Eclair Cookie: I thought he was a bad-tempered Cookie since he couldn’t even remember me* But I guess not!
*actual text
Espresso Cookie: Is that a compliment…?
Eclair Cookie: Hahaha! Thank you for making me feel better!
Eclair Cookie: Oh! Alright! We might as well hold a Cookie Alliance lecture in the museum!
Eclair Cookie: What about inviting Espresso Cookie! As a special guest lecturer!!
Espresso Cookie: No, I decline…
Eclair Cookie: Don’t be like that! I’m sure everyone will love it!
Espresso Cookie: Sigh… I’ll think about it when I have time…
The Heroes of Dark Cacao
Dark Cacao Cookie: ……
Sugary Dark Cacao Watcher: ……
Cube Choco Cookie: Uhm… Cough, cough. It’s quite cold today.
Dark Cacao Cookie: …Is it long before the sun rises?
Cautious Dark Cacao Warrior: The time for the sun to rise has already come… But the fog over the Licorice sea is particularly thick today, so it’s hard to see.
Swift Dark Cacao Watcher: Oh goodness, that’s not good. It’s said that not seeing the sun for the Sunrise Holiday brings bad luck on the nation!
Peanut Butter Choco Cookie: Stop with the nonsense. Can’t you see the people are agitated!
Bittersweet Dark Cacao Watcher: But~ this sunrise spot is a pretty good neat!*
*actual text
Crunchy Chip Cookie: You there, would you stop talking such nonsense!
Young Cookie from the Mountains: Will we really not be able to see the sun…? Even His Highness made an appearance…
Snowfall Villager: Still, I believed that the sky would show us a sun as red as an apple today…
Snowfall Villager: This is why it’s impossible to predict how the cotton farming will go this year.
Bittersweet Dark Cacao Watcher: Ahh, I knew it! I shouldn’t have thrown away Affogato Cookie’s talisman!
Dark Cacao Cookie: What nonsense!
Bittersweet Dark Cacao Watcher: Surprise!
Dark Cacao Cookie: The strength to lead for another year comes not from the weather, but the heart of a Cookie.
Dark Cacao Cookie: Open your collar tightly. Make your resolve as firm as a rock, and live with sincerity, even on bitter days.
Dark Cacao Cookie: That is the way of life in the Dark Cacao Kingdom. We will hold out this year as well, as we always have!
Grandfather and Grandson of the Milk Village: His Highness is right~ Wooh! His Highness is right. Huh-huh!
Cube Choco Cookie: Uhm… Listen carefully to His Highness’ teachings!
Caramel Arrow Cookie: That is indeed correct. But it is still too early to be disappointed!
Dark Cacao Cookie: Oh, Caramel Arrow Cookie. You’re late. Did you stand guard all night?
Caramel Arrow Cookie: Yes. Did you not witness a big white tiger while you stood at the mountain guard post?!
Swift Dark Cacao Watcher: Oooh…! A white tiger? The symbol of good luck?!
Caramel Arrow Cookie: That’s right. As I followed the tiger like a Cookie possessed, it disappeared into the mist and all I could see in front of me was our firmly rooted Black Wall!
Caramel Arrow Cookie: It’s the castle I see every day, but today it stands tall like a tiger running through the snowy mountains.
Caramel Arrow Cookie: The sun is sure to rise. This year, our Kingdom will be strong and proud!
Dark Cacao Cookie: Step forward, Caramel Arrow Cookie.
Caramel Arrow Cookie: Command me as you wish.
Dark Cacao Cookie: It seems that the fog is too thick for the Sun to find its way to our castle. Dispel the fog and open the way!
Caramel Arrow Cookie: Yes, I will shoot my arrow to the ends of the sky!
Caramel Arrow Cookie: Go-!!
Swift Dark Cacao Watcher: The arrow rushes forward with the momentum of a tiger… The fog lifts!!
Cautious Dark Cacao Warrior: What a beautiful sight…! It’s the first time in my Cookie life I’ve seen a sun so big and red!
Dark Cacao Cookie: Um. May it be a good year for all!
Caramel Arrow Cookie: Long live his Highness Dark Cacao Cookie!!
The Kingdom’s Subjects: Long live his Highness Dark Cacao Cookie. Long live the Dark Cacao Kingdom!
Cookie Odyssey
Strawberry Crepe Cookie: Oh goodness, this Wafflebot is so dusty!
Strawberry Crepe Cookie: Espresso Cookie, hand me that rag over there. I’ll have to wipe it down before I start maintenance.
Strawberry Crepe Cookie: I could’ve gotten that myse- Huh? What’s this?
Strawberry Crepe Cookie: The postal ship came this morning. Most of them seem like ad flyers, though.
Strawberry Crepe Cookie: There were quite a few letters from the Republic, so I put them here to show you. So what do they say? Any good news?
Espresso Cookie: Well, most of them are advertisement flyers. Celebration of Mud town supermarket’s Grand Opening… News about funding for a fake pearl necklace that looks very real…
Espresso Cookie: Why send this all way* across the ocean.
*actual text
Strawberry Crepe Cookie: Here, there’s a letter for Espresso Cookie as well. It’s from… Landlord Cookie?
Espresso Cookie: Hm? I see. Dear Espresso Cookie,
Espresso Cookie: How have you been? I’m writing to you because I saw that you still had some unclaimed administrative fees after you left. I’ll attach the details below...
Espresso Cookie: That’s a very elaborately disguised chain letter, I see. Feel free to dispose of it.
Strawberry Crepe Cookie: What? It didn’t look like it…
Espresso Cookie: Ah! This is truly an important letter. It’s from Clotted Cream Cookie!
Clotted Cream Cookie’s Letter: How have you been? After your departure, we gathered our soldiers and began an extensive search as discussed.
Clotted Cream Cookie’s Letter: Of course, the search involved finding a piece of Soul Jam as well as gathering information about Dark Enchantress Cookie.
Clotted Cream Cookie’s Letter: As a result, I’m writing down the most important pieces of news.
Clotted Cream Cookie’s Letter: First, for some more details on the Beast-Yeast Continent… And having obtained very specific rumors on the final ancient hero Cookie whose location has been undisclosed so far…
Espresso Cookie: Whoa…! This is quite exciting news?
Espresso Cookie: I’ll go see Pure Vanilla Cookie. Ah, the coffee will have gone cold when I return… Hm…
Strawberry Crepe Cookie: Huh? Didn’t I tell you? The weather was so cold that I developed this mug warmer.
Espresso Cookie: Strawberry Crepe Cookie!
Espresso Cookie: Right, here is the rag you requested.
Strawberry Crepe Cookie: You should’ve done that earlier! Hehe! Have a good trip!
Festival of Dreams & Wishes
GingerBrave: Ahh… Time to wake up!
GingerBrave: Huh? What time is it?! Last night’s festival was so fun! Maybe too fun…
GingerBrave: The fireworks, the ballroom, the music…! Everything was tip-top! And the special guests from fairy tale kingdoms…!
GingerBrave: It was a fantastic night! A festival I’ll definitely never forget!
Strawberry Crepe Cookie: Knock knock! GingerBrave, OPEN UP!
GingerBrave: Strawberry Crepe Cookie!
GingerBrave: Why are you here so early? Were we going to hang out today?
Strawberry Crepe Cookie: What kind of nonsense is that? Get ready! The dishes won’t do themselves!
GingerBrave: What? The dishes…?
GingerBrave: THE DISHES!!!
Wizard Cookie: I knew you’d forget about your duties, so we brought them all here! There’s another basket, so make sure not to forget it!
Strawberry Cookie: Here are the cups and cutlery as well.. S-Sorry…
GingerBrave: Whoah… I didn’t even know we had this many plates in the Cookie Castle! How am I going to wash this up all by myself?
Strawberry Crepe Cookie: Well, you should’ve thought of that first! I mean, before you suggested picking a Cookie to do the dishes with rock-paper-scissors! Ha ha ha!
Strawberry Crepe Cookie: If you don’t wash up quickly, there’s no breakfast for you. The Sugar Gnomes were already up waiting!
Sugar Gnome: Take your time… We’re already melting, but this is fine…
GingerBrave: Oh! OH! Fine, I’ll do it!
Cream Unicorn Cookie: Ahh… Looking at the pile of dishes, I can tell that last night’s party wasn’t a dream!
Princess Cookie: Right?! The ball was fun, but the slumber party with the princesses was the best!
Knight Cookie: Your Highness, you were most well-mannered and eloquent, as always, Your Highness!!!
Knight Cookie: Your eyes shone with genuine curiosity, just like when Her Majesty Queen Jungleberry Cookie read you to sleep!
Princess Cookie: Talking to the fairy tale princesses was even better than reading about them! Just think about all the magical adventures they’ve been through!
Princess Cookie: You could call them my… beautiful and brave adventuring mentors!
Princess Cookie: We decided to keep in touch to further strengthen the friendship between our great kingdoms!
GingerBrave: I’m glad you all had a great time! He he!
GingerBrave: Listen, I’ve many fun stories to share, so why don’t you stay and he…
All: WE’LL BE ON OUR WAY!
GingerBrave: Wa-wait… Help me just a little, I beg you!
Legend of the Duskgloom Sea
Black Pearl Cookie: Let it all sink!!!! Ahahaha!!!
Black Pearl Cookie: Not a single ship, not even a Cookie crumb! You won’t be able to escape from this sea!
Black Pearl Cookie: Hehe, hehehe…
Black Pearl Cookie: …
Black Pearl Cookie: It’s so still… Wait, could it be that was the last ship just now?
Black Pearl Cookie: Cookies are very weak~
Black Pearl Cookie: Going against the waves, against the currents!
Black Pearl Cookie: Throwing yourself into the sea…
Black Pearl Cookie: Coveting pearls…
Black Pearl Cookie: Argh, I’m fed up…
Black Pearl Cookie: …
Black Pearl Cookie: La… La… La… La… La…
Black Pearl Cookie: To the deepest part of the sea…
Black Pearl Cookie: What’s left… ♩
Black Pearl Cookie: Glory to the land, romance to the sea, Couldn’t I have dreamed of romance forever… ♬
Black Pearl Cookie: Pearls are eternal… …What I wish for is memories
Black Pearl Cookie: Slowly sinking into the deepest darkness… ♪
Black Pearl Cookie: Pearls are eternal…
Black Pearl Cookie: What I wish for is… Memories…
Black Pearl Cookie: La… La… La…
Black Pearl Cookie: La… La…
Black Pearl Cookie: …
Black Pearl Cookie: I curse you… Forever…
BRAVER TOGETHER
GingerBrave: Strawberry Cookie! You dropped something!
Strawberry Cookie: Hmm…?
Wizard Cookie: This is… a ticket from the concert held here in the Cookie Kingdom. Why do you still have this?
Strawberry Cookie: Of course…! But I want to cherish the memories of that day…
Strawberry Cookie: Wizard Cookie, you still remember, right?
GingerBrave: Surely he still remembers? Wizard Cookie cried when concert* ended after all!
*actual text
Wizard Cookie: Eh-hm… Uhm… Was that it…
GingerBrave: At that time, the KIngdom was really in an uproar. Now, everyone has gone back to normal!
GingerBrave: It seemed like it never happened!
Strawberry Cookie: But even on the way home from the concert I could still hear the booming sound of music!
???: Dum- Dum- Dum-!
Wizard Cookie: …? It’s not just who can hear it, Strawberry Cookie. I think I can hear it too?
???: That’s not it, not at all!
ZZ Skull: Have you forgotten all about loving yourself? You have to be sincere!
HellHound: Sometimes I sincerely want to show a different side of my self.
MUSHY P.: Spores~ They’re saying we can do anything~~
T.N.T: Don’t fight! We can become anything! Believe me, the leader!
Wizard Cookie: So that was the sound of B.A.D 4 practicing… The concert must’ve made a big impression on them…
Strawberry Cookie: But we all did, didn’t we…?
GingerBrave: That’s right! And it makes me happy to think that this special day will remain in the hearts of other Cookies as well!
T.N.T: I will go there again! By listening to the sound of my own heart!
B.A.D 4: One, two!! ♪♫♪~!!
Stories by the Fireplace
Carol Cookie: Hmm~ Hmmm~
Carol Cookie: A Kingdom made by such small hands~ It’s full of laughter~
Carol Cookie: If I play it for Pinecone Cookies* they’ll definitely like it right?
*actual text
Carol Cookie: Uhm… I think it was around here… Did I get lost again…
Carol Cookie: The way here is always so confusing!
Pinecone Cookie: Yes!!! Carol Cookie!
Carol Cookie: Pinecone Cookie! I must’ve come to the right place~
Pinecone Cookie: What do you mean I still found you! You show up somewhere new everytime you visit the forest!
Pinecone Cookie: I searched the whole forest in time for you to come again today!
Carol Cookie: Is that so?
Carol Cookie: But Pinecone Cookie finds you easily, no matter where you are!
Pinecone Cookie: Hmm… Well that’s because there’s no place in this forest that I don’t know…
Pinecone Cookie: Following your singing is no problem at all!
Pinecone Cookie: So?? What song are you going to perform for me today?
Carol Cookie: I’ll play you a song about the Cookie Kingdom~ I think you’ll really like it!
Carol Cookie: Then sit back and listen again today~
Pinecone Cookie: Hehe! Yes!
New Year, New Adventures
Pancake Cookie: Let’s play! Please? Come on, play with me!
Fig Cookie: You’re a cute one I see~ Alright, what should we do?
Pancake Cookie: Wow, so exciting! Hehehe* The prediction from my fortune cookie came true!
*actual text
Alchemist Cookie: Huh? Your fortune cookie prediction came true?
Pancake Cookie: Hehe~ My fortune cookie said, ‘If a nice Cookie passes you by, hold on to them. They’ll have fun with you.’
Fig Cookie: Mine was ‘Your surroundings will be filled with sweet laughter.’ Pancake Cookie smiled at me, so I guess mine came true too~
Alchemist Cookie: What? That’s too vague to be a prediction.
Alchemist Cookie: Writing down such natural things and pretending you’re telling the future is pure nonsense!
Pancake Cookie: Ooh, is that so?
Alchemist Cookie: Then me saying ‘Pancake Cookie is going to eat Acorn Jelly today’ also qualifies as a prediction!
Fig Cookie: Ahh, so that’s what it is~
Alchemist Cookie: Prophet Cookie really gives out some strange things. Isn’t it also a lie to say he’s a miraculous prophet?
Pancake Cookie: Ah that’s right~ Alchemist Cookie, what was written in your fortune cookie?
Alchemist Cookie: Me? Mine was ‘There will come a time when your logical thinking shines through’.* That’s not even a real prediction!
*actual text
Alchemist Cookie: Everyone will have a logical thought at one point or another, so isn’t that a given?
Fig Cookie: I see~ Alchemist Cookie is really smart*
*actual text
Pancake Cookie: But according to Alchemist Cookie, do fortune cookies not provide accurate predictions?
Fig Cookie: That’s right~ But Alchemist Cookie might be upset to hear that you believe in such vague prophecies, so let’s keep it to ourselves!
Pancake Cookie: Hehe sure!
