	An'in Region, Jungle Area
Southern Tamandua	Huff, huff... Finally got away...
Southern Tamandua	Japari Park's been so scary, recently... There's been Celliens everywhere, and all sorts of weird rumors too.
Southern Tamandua	...Huh? I feel like I forgot something important...
Southern Tamandua	Eek! Who's there?!
Cellien	――――！
Southern Tamandua	Celliens again?! Dangit, get away from me!
Southern Tamandua	Ugh... If it's come down to this, then...
Southern Tamandua	Intimidation Pose!
Cellien	...
Southern Tamandua	Jeez! Why are you still here?! Go away!
Cellien	――――！
Southern Tamandua	Nooo! Don't come near me!
Dhole	Expedition Party~ Expedition Party~ Japari Paaark's Expedition Party~
Meerkat	Dhole, could you settle down, please? You've been humming incessantly ever since we set out.
Meerkat	You should say something too, Captain.
File:CaptainKF3Portrait.png Captain	Seems like you're having fun.
	Let's sing together!
Dhole	Well, it's always been my dream to explore the Park like this!
Dhole	And now, I'm the Vice Captain too... Vice Captain... Teehee.
Meerkat	No matter how fancy your title is, you're still immature.
Dhole	All together now, Captain! One, two!
Dhole	Expedition Party~ Expedition Party~ Japari Paaark's Expedition Party~
Meerkat	Good grief, you two...
Meerkat	You'll trip over if you're not careful.
Dhole	But I am being careful! It's hard to walk around here!
Meerkat	No, I mean... I suppose that's fine. Either way, I'd like to have your attention, please.
Meerkat	The Cellien who stole Serval-san's Sparkle should still be hiding somewhere in this forest.
Dhole	...The Giant Cellien, huh. I wonder what we should do if we find it.
Dhole	If it defeated Serval-san's group, we probably wouldn't stand a chance...
Meerkat	You won't be able to do anything if you just give up from the start.
Meerkat	First, we need to determine what the enemy really is.
Dhole	Th.. That's right! First off are the Celliens--
Dhole	Ouch!
Dhole	O-Ow, ow, ow...! Why'd this rock just...
Meerkat	Blame your own carelessness. There wasn't even anything to trip over.
Dhole	No, this rock just suddenly popped up out of nowhere, and...
Meerkat	Actually, I don't think that's even a rock.
Cellien	――――！
Dhole	It's a Cellien!!
Meerkat	Got the rug pulled from under your feet, huh?
Dhole	Ugh... You Cellien, how dare you trip me over! I will never forgive you!
Meerkat	...I think I might've educated this girl incorrectly, somehow.
	(Cellien battle)
Dhole	We... We did it! Captain, Sensei! We defeated the Celliens!
Meerkat	Dhole! Don't lose your focus!
Cellien	――――！
Dhole	Oh no! There's more?!
Meerkat	Carelessness will only lead to danger! Remember that!
Meerkat	Now then, class is resumed. Let's go, Dhole, Captain!
Dhole	O-Okay!
	(Cellien battle)
Meerkat	...Whew. Seems like that's the last of them.
Dhole	That's the first time I've seen so many Celliens at once... I wonder where they came from?
Meerkat	No idea. They might be related to the Giant Cellien from before.
Dhole	What should we do now, Captain?
File:CaptainKF3Portrait.png Captain	Look around our surroundings.
	Hunt down Celliens.
Meerkat	I agree with that decision as well.
Dhole	Um... There's just one thing on my mind.
Dhole	Did all those Celliens come from the same direction?
Meerkat	Now that you've mentioned it... Captain, let me take a look at the map.
Meerkat	...It seems like we've been in the Restricted Area all along.
File:CaptainKF3Portrait.png Captain	Restricted Area?
Dhole	Oh, if I remembered correctly...
Dhole	It's a dangerous area with many reported Cellien sightings, right?
Meerkat	I've taught it to you in class before, haven't I? You've remembered well.
Meerkat	It's an area that small Celliens often appear in.
Meerkat	As small as they are, though, we can't just ignore those Celliens altogether.
Dhole	So that's why the Expedition Party regularly patrols these places!
Dhole	Secretly fighting Celliens from behind the scenes... The Expedition Party is so cool!
Meerkat	...Regularly patrols...
Dhole	Hmm? What is it?
Meerkat	Dhole, have Serval-san and the others said anything about the patrols, recently?
Dhole	Huh? Umm...
Dhole	Oh yeah, Mirai-san and Serval-san said something the other day...
Dhole	Something like "We're going to have to patrol the Restricted Area soon."
Dhole	Wait! Could they have been attacked when...
Meerkat	They were inside the Restricted Area. There's a high possibility.
Dhole	Maybe the recent Cellien outbreak has something to do with it, too...
Meerkat	We won't know unless we check.
Meerkat	Speaking of which...
Meerkat	I should've asked Mirai-san for more information before we left.
Dhole	But we didn't, since we were in a rush.
???	Heeelp!
Dhole	Hm? Did you hear something just now?
Meerkat	I heard it too. It sounded like someone screaming...
Dhole	Wha...?! Captain, Sensei! Over there!
Southern Tamandua	Help meee!
Cellien	――――！
Meerkat	A Friend is being attacked by a Cellien!
Dhole	We need to help her!
Dhole	But... There's so many of them...
Meerkat	Snap out of it, Vice Captain! This isn't a situation where you can let fear control you!
Dhole	Vice Captain... That's right. I'm the Expedition Party's Vice Captain now!
Dhole	Captain! Sensei! Let's go!
	(Cellien battle)
Meerkat	Seems like that's the last of them. Where's that Friend from earlier?
Southern Tamandua	Ughh... Celliens, go away... Go away...
Dhole	Thank goodness! Seems like she's safe.
Southern Tamandua	Waah! Don't come closer!
Southern Tamandua	...Huh? Where are all the Celliens?
Meerkat	We defeated them all. You don't have to worry anymore.
Southern Tamandua	Whaaat?! Even though there were so many?
Southern Tamandua	...Speaking of which, who are you guys?
Dhole	We're the Expedition Party! I'm Dhole, the Vice Captain!
Dhole	This is [Player]-san, the Captain, and that's one of our members, Meerkat-sensei.
Southern Tamandua	I-I'm Southern Tamandua. Thank you for saving me.
Southern Tamandua	But are you guys really the Expedition Party? I thought the Vice Captain was Serval.
Meerkat	Serval-san was attacked by a Giant Cellien. She can't go on duty at the moment.
Southern Tamandua	She was attacked?!
Dhole	We're taking on the Expedition Party's duty to track down that Giant Cellien.
Southern Tamandua	...
Dhole	Um, what is it?
Southern Tamandua	Sounds suspicious.
Meerkat	Excuse me?
Southern Tamandua	I can't imagine Serval getting pummeled like that so easily. This sounds suspicious...
Southern Tamandua	O-Oh! I get it! You guys are Celliens in disguise!
Meerkat	What is this girl even saying?
Dhole	But we're not Celliens.
Southern Tamandua	Y-You're not? Well, uh...
Southern Tamandua	Are you guys the poachers I've been hearing so much about?!
Dhole	...Poachers?
Meerkat	This isn't going anywhere. Could you please settle down and tell--
Southern Tamandua	A-Awawawa... Go away, don't come any closer...
Southern Tamandua	I-Intimidation Pose!
Dhole	?!
Southern Tamandua	Okay, now go away! Beat it!
Dhole	That was so cuuute! I thought my heart was going to stop...
Southern Tamandua	The intimidation pose didn't work?!
Meerkat	Why'd she think it would work in the first place?
Dhole	I-It's okay... We're not scary, so could you come here...?
Southern Tamandua	A... W-Wa... Waaaah! Help meee!
Dhole	Ah! Wait!
Meerkat	"Save me," she said... Even though she just got saved earlier. What an annoying girl.
Dhole	Meer-sensei! She's going deeper into the Restricted Area!
Meerkat	Ugh, this is so annoying! We're going after her!
