Dhole	Um... Captain, are you really sure this is okay...?
Dhole	Trying to chase down that Cellien when we have no hope of beating it...
Dhole	It feels like we're just dragging everyone into danger...
File:CaptainKF3Portrait.png Captain	That's not true at all.
	Why do you think we're following you?
Dhole	Why? Well...
Bald Eagle	It's because we want to follow you.
Bald Eagle	Those words you said earlier, "I want to do everything I can to help"...
Bald Eagle	Your heart of justice made my own heart beat so fast that my chest began to hurt!
Bald Eagle	That's justice! And it was beautiful. That's why I want to help you along with the others, Dhole!
Meerkat	If we ever did disagree with you, we would've said it already, no matter what.
Meerkat	I don't believe there is currently any reason to be concerned. Trust in yourself!
Dhole	Meer-sensei... Bald Eagle-san...! Thank you!
Dhole	...Huh?
Bald Eagle	What is it, Dhole?
Dhole	There's a familiar smell coming from somewhere...
Meerkat	Could there be even more Celliens?
Dhole	No... That's not it. It smells a bit familiar...
Dhole	Oh, on second thought...
Dhole	Speak of the devil.
Cellien	――――！！
Dhole	Seems like they really did show up.
Southern Tamandua	Did you summon them, Meerkat?! So the Evil Friend reveals her true self...!
Meerkat	Of course not! Let's stop with the finger-pointing, please!
Bald Eagle	Well, I'm sure this'll be easy compared to that last group!
Bald Eagle	Let's go, everyone!!
	(Cellien battle)
Dhole	Sniff... sniff sniff... I think it came from around here.
Meerkat	There's nothing here, is there?
Dhole	Yeah, maybe it was just my imagination...
Bald Eagle	Say, do you think the smell might've come from over here?
Meerkat	Aren't these... footprints?
Southern Tamandua	Footprints? From a Cellien?
Meerkat	No, these footprints belong to a couple of Friends and a human. Judging from the shape, they're most likely...
Dhole	I just remembered! This is Serval-san's smell!
Meerkat	Two or three Friends, and traces from a human's shoes... I think I've figured it out.
Meerkat	This might've been where Serval and the others were attacked by the Giant Cellien.
Bald Eagle	Frankly, I still can't believe it. How could Serval have lost against it...?
Bald Eagle	...The Savanna Area's troublemaker, who causes havoc wherever she goes...
Bald Eagle	She hasn't changed much at all.
Meerkat	You could say that again.
Dhole	Serval-san... I hope she'll get better soon.
Bald Eagle	...Let's go, Dhole. The Cellien's footprints are going over that way.
Southern Tamandua	That's right! We still need to find Malayan Tapir before it gets dark.
Southern Tamandua	C'mon, Dhole! I'm gonna leave you behind if you just stand there!
Meerkat	Hold on a moment, Southern Ta--
Cellien	――――！！
Southern Tamandua	Eeeeeeeeek!! It’s a Cellieeeeen!!
Meerkat	I hate to say I told you so...
	(Cellien battle)
Meerkat	They're still coming after us, even after we just defeated the last wave... They really don't learn.
Bald Eagle	.........
Dhole	What's wrong? Was there something unusual about the Celliens we just fought?
Meerkat	I can't recall anything unusual. They were regular Celliens, the same as always.
Bald Eagle	The same as always. In every way.
Bald Eagle	Hey, we're chasing the Giant Cellien, aren't we?
Meerkat	Of course we are. What about it?
Bald Eagle	What do you think the source of the Cellien outbreak is?
Meerkat	We don't know yet, and that's why we're chasing after the Giant Cellien, correct?
Dhole	We didn't learn anything new from where we were just at, either.
Bald Eagle	Right. Nothing was there.
Bald Eagle	The source wasn't back there anymore.
Meerkat	...What are you trying to say?
Bald Eagle	Which way did the Celliens we just fought come from?
Dhole	Well, they showed up from the direction that we were heading to...
Dhole	Wait, could it be...?!
Bald Eagle	We're currently chasing the Giant Cellien...
Bald Eagle	And we're being attacked by masses of Celliens from its direction.
Dhole	So, you're saying that...
Dhole	The Giant Cellien is actually the source of the Cellien outbreak!?
Bald Eagle	That's just my guess, of course.
Bald Eagle	However... I believe I've been correct in my assumptions so far.
Cellien	――――！！
Dhole	There's more of them!
Bald Eagle	This is starting to get fishy... We've got to get to the bottom of this!
	(Cellien battle)
Dhole	Oh, she's back!
Bald Eagle	I'm here! Sorry for the wait, girls!
Meerkat	What were you doing out there? You shocked me when you suddenly flew up.
Bald Eagle	I was checking where those footprints led to from above.
Dhole	So, what did you see?
Bald Eagle	They're a bit winding, but it seems like they stretch out quite a bit.
Dhole	Maybe it's trying to steal someone else's Sparkle, just like it did to Serval-san.
Meerkat	It might not be headed for someone, but rather, somewhere.
Meerkat	Sparkle doesn't just live in humans and Friends, but also in places and objects that are filled with memories.
Dhole	If it's going to move in a straight line, then that means...
File:CaptainKF3Portrait.png Captain	(Open the map)
Dhole	This route crosses over the sea and into the Kyōshū Region.
Meerkat	Just like I thought, that doesn't tell us much. We can be sure that it's a danger to the Park, though.
Bald Eagle	I have some bad news, too.
Bald Eagle	I saw a large wave of Celliens forming on the trail ahead of us.
Dhole	That must mean Bald Eagle-san's guess was correct after all.
Bald Eagle	Right. The Giant Cellien really does seem to be the source of this outbreak.
Meerkat	In other words, you're saying a Cellien is generating new Celliens?
Meerkat	But as far as I've heard, Celliens can't give birth or split into more Celliens...
Bald Eagle	Whatever the case, we need to remember this.
Bald Eagle	As it is right now, more and more Celliens will spawn before we defeat that Giant Cellien.
Dhole	But we can't just let those Celliens loose on the trail.
Bald Eagle	Right, and so...
Dhole	And so?
Bald Eagle	We've got no choice but to fight and hunt them down!
