Warning: Spoilers ahead.

''Notice: There might be some lines missing in the "Hand Cooked Cookies" chapter.

Prologue
Wiz: I need more, meow.

--Wiz whined in front of an empty plate.

Wiz: Who decided that only kids get candy anyway?

--"I heard that cats don't even taste sweetness.

Wiz: That has nothing to do with this.

--Halloween celebrations are in full swing in Torulika.

--Wiz scratches at the door, making it clear she wants to get more treats.

Baron: You mean that's not enough?

Baron: It's really crowded out there today. I'm going to go have a look around.

Baron: Stay here while I'm out.

--Baron heads out into the festive streets.

Wiz: That's it. I've made up my mind. I'm eating candy until I explode, meow.

Wiz: I know! We should dress up and go get some candy ourselves!

--You shake your head. "Baron just told us to stay put."

Wiz: If he gets mad, we can just made it up to him later, haha.

--Wiz dives into a jack-o'-lantern by the front door.

Wiz: Check out my disguise, meow!

--"You just look like a garden ornament.

Wiz: You think so? Costumes are hard, meow.

--Wiz gives up and starts to climb out of the pumpkin.

Wiz: Meow? What? Grr...

--You can hear Wiz growling from beneath the jack-o'-lantern.

Wiz: I'm stuck! Help me out!

--You grab the pumpkin and try to uncork Wiz.

Wiz: Ow... Gently...

--You give her legs a gentle tug, but she does not budge.

--"This is for you." You tighten your grip.

Wiz: Mm? MeoOOW!

--You finally manage to free Wiz from the pumpkin.

--But you pull with so much force that you crash through the door with Wiz in your arms.

Wiz: Huh?

--Suddenly both of you are bathed in a blinding light.

--A large hole in the sky swallows you, then it closes as if nothing happened.

--Baron returns to the quiet room with arms full of treats.

Baron: Hey, here's your reward for watching the...

Baron: Hm?

--Baron notices the room is empty.

'''Those two little... I told them to stay put!

--The jack-o'-lantern on the floor rocks back and forth as if in laughter.

The Candy House
Wiz: Meow... Where are we?

--You look around at a place you have never seen before.

???: Trick or treat!

--A small girl wearing a pumpkin hat shouts from behind.

Wiz: What?

???: Wait, you aren't from around here. And there's a cute black cat!

--"Where did the Guild go?"

???: Gilled? Sounds fancy.

???: Ohh, you must have come from Gilled in search of the sweetness.

--You realize this is not the same world you were in a minute ago.

???: It's OK, I'm glad to have you. Welcome to Halloween!

--The girl starts to tickle Wiz as a greeting.

Wiz: Me-myahahaha! Stop it!

--The girl stares wide-eyed.

???: S-Sis! Come here!

???: What's wrong, Puff?

Puff: It's a talking cat! And a person from some place called Gilled!

--Almost as perplexed as Puff, you explain how you got here.

??? Is that so? Then we must get you back to your own world somehow...

Tabasa: I've forgotten to introduce myself. My name is Tabasa.

Tabasa: Today is Halloween, the one day when the dead return to this world.

Tabasa: For us to meet on such a wonderful day, it feels like fate.

Wiz: Whoa! What now?

--A girl with a tail and big ears is sniffing Wiz.

Puff: Nina, what are you doing?

--Nina lifts her head.

Nina: OK, they don't smell dangerous.

--Tabasa explains that Nina was originally their wolf Puff changed into a girl.

Tabasa: But the spell wasn't perfect. She still has those ears and a tail.

Nina: I don't mind looking like this.

Puff: I'll fix it as soon as my magic gets better.

Puff: Everybody makes mistakes at first, right?

???: You're as simple-minded as ever.

--A girl in a pointy outfit comes sweeping in.

Puff: Ugh.

Nina: Grr...

Tabasa: Hi, Sakyuna. Why do you look so happy?

Sakyuna: Haha, oh I just have a bit of good news.

Puff: Good news?

Sakyuna: I found a house up ahead that'll give you lots of candy.

Sakyuna: I thought you might be interested, Puff.

Puff:Candy? Lots of it?

Sakyuna: Uh huh. See Popol? They're handing out yummy sweets over there.

--You look in the direction of Sakyuna's finger.

--A big, bear-like creature is intensely focused on stuffing his cheeks with sweets.

--Children from the village are lined up in front of the house.

Popol: It's tasty, popo! That's why you can't stop Halloween, popo.

Sakyuna: See, Puff? What are you waiting for?

Sakyuna: You better get some before Popol eats it all.

Puff: Can I go, Sis?

Tabasa: I suppose. But I don't recall there being a gingerbread house there before.

(The quest begins)

Sakyuna: Come on, Puff. Over here.

--Sakyuna leads Puff to the gingerbread house where children stand waiting in line.

Tabasa: I don't know why, but I have a very bad feeling about this.

Tabasa: Be careful, Puff!

Puff: Don't eat it all! I haven't had any yet.

Popol: Mm... There's still a lot, popo. Just relax, popo.

Tabasa: Once she sees candy, that's all she can think about.

Nina:I'm worried about her.

--You follow Sakyuna to the front of the gingerbread house.

???: Alright, eat up, everybody.

???: When your tummy gets full, I'll take you somewhere fun OK?

Tabasa: Is that you, Celina?

Celina: Great... Just who I needed to show up.

Celina: Sakyuna! Didn't I tell you that Puff is the only one you should bring?

Sakyuna: Oh, you did?

Tabasa: What's gong on here? This better not be another-

Celina: Ugh, there goes Plan A. But I won't let you stop me.

--Celina raises her lantern wand to the sky.

--Then, a group of ghosts appear around her and begin to dance.

Celina: Spin more! Faster!

--The blue flames in the lantern gives a bright flash, and a whirlwind forms around the house.

--The wind grows stronger and lifts the children who had been waiting in front of the house up into the air.

Celina: Hahaha. I think it worked.

Tabasa: What are you doing with those kids?

Celina: Do you really think I'll tell you?

--The gingerbread house flies away with the children on top.

--All that remains is the echo of Celina's triumphant laughter.

Tabasa: We have to follow them. Let's go, Puff!

--They are blocked, however, by Celina's minions.

(Boss battle begins)

Tabasa: This is bad.

Puff: And I didn't even have one bite!

Popol: I still want more, popo.

Tabasa: Is that all you can think about?

Tabasa: Forget the candy! What if the children don't come back?

Sakyua: What? Don't look at me.

Tabasa: You know where they went, don't you?

Sakyuna: Maybe.

Tabasa: Then lead the way. Before something terrible happens.

Puff: I wanna help!

Nina: I'm going too!

Puff: Nice, Nina! Follow me!

Tabasa: Wizard, would you help us as well?

--"Of course."

--Sakyuna who has been ignored so far, crosses her arms and rolls her eyes.

Sakyuna: I probably wouldn't hear the end of it if something were to happen to those kids...

Sakyuna: Fine, I guess I'll go with you.

--And with that, you set off for the mountain peak where Celina and the children await.

Meet BT Cat
--You are walking through a gloomy forest.

Puff: There's something creepy about this place.

Popol: I don't smell any sweets, popo.

Puff: Huh? Why are you here too?

Popol: I like sweets, popo. But it's no fun to eat them alone, popo.

--The forest is so quiet it seems to muffle your voices.

Puff: Oh. OK, let's save everybody together!

Popol: It's gonna get real, popo.

Tabasa: Hey, Puff, isn't your test coming up?

--"What test?"

Tabasa: There is a test to become a wizard. She's going to graduate from apprenticeship, aren't you, Puff?

Puff: There's no way I'll pass.

Tabasa: Don't say that. You only get one chance a year.

Puff: But you weren't a wizard when you were my age.

Tabasa: You'll be fine. You have talent.

Puff: But I messed up with Nina...

--Nina hides her ears and tail.

Nina: I'm just happy that I get to talk to you now, Puff.

Wiz: I'm sure I can coach her a bit.

Tabasa: Really?

Wiz: I don't know how magic works in this world, but I can probably figure it out.

--Wiz puffs out her chest.

Tabasa: Are you a teacher?

--You nod your head.

Tabasa: Really? I would love to be your student!

--Tabasa runs up to you and bows her head.

Wiz: What?

--You quickly correct yourself.

Sakyuna: You mean the cat's the teacher?

Tabasa: Whoa, really?

Wiz: You don't believe me at all, do you?

--Wiz's expression sours, and she gives her tail an irritated twitch.

(The quest begins)

--Mindful of Wiz's sulky mood, you cautiously ask Puff why she wants to be a wizard.

Puff: Well...

Tabasa: So you can eat sweets, isn't it?

--"..."

Popol: Sweets are necessitties for wizards, popo.

Popol: Their sweet energy produces a mysterious power, popo.

Popol: Sweets are wonderful things, popo.

Puff: Thanks for the explanation. That's not the only reason though!

Sakyuna: You mean the sweets themselves are what you want?

Wiz: It's not that easy. With that half-hearted atitude, you'll never reach the top.

Puff: I don't care if I'm not the best!

Nina: Puff's trying really hard!

Sakyuna: I know things were just getting interesting, but somebody's here.

--A girl appears trailing a group of cats.

???: Are you the ones trying to stop Miss Celina's plans? Well, you'll have to deal with me first!

(Boss battle begins)

???: I didn't expect to be beaten by a bunch of meddling kids.

Wiz: I feel kind of bad for punishing somebody with similar taste. You look like a hardcore cat person.

???: I adore them from the depths of my being.

Tabasa: Well don't we speak fancy?

???: Oops, you caught me. And I thought this was a good disguise.

BT Cat: I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Blacktips Cat. Please, call me BT Cat.

BT Cat: I was once a princess of a certain kingdom.

Tabasa: A princess? What business does a princess have with Celina?

BT Cat: I want to completely transform into a cat.

BT Cat: I must know firsthand how cats feel. So I entreated Miss Celina's help.

Tabasa: MISS Celina?

BT Cat: In return I offered her jewels.

BT Cat: However, she said that was not enough and changed me only halfway.

BT Cat: She told me that if I want to become a true cat, I must punish you.

BT Cat: But why? You are such good people.

BT Cat: Is it not said of old, "There are no bad seeds among cat lovers"?

Sakyuna: First time I've ever heard it.

BT Cat: Really? Anyhow, I am glad you are unharmed.

BT Cat: Miss Celina had monsters in wait for you up ahead, so please do be careful.

Tabasa: There are more of them?

BT Cat: Well then, I am going into the woods to play with there cats. Farewell!

Nina: I'm glad everybody's OK.

Wiz: Celina... Doesn't sound like much to me.

--With a look of admiration on her face, Puff watches Blacktips Cat disappear among the trees.

Hand Cooked Cookies
Puff: Please teach me magic!

Tabasa: She looks really excited.

Nina:I have your back, Puff.

Wiz: Alright then! It's special training time!

Puff: Wow! Magic's fun!

Tabasa: Here.

'''I cooked them for Halloween. Do you want one?

--Attracted by the smell, Popol returns from searching the forest ahead.

Popol: I smell something sweet, popo.

Tabasa: I have one for you too.

--Popol uses his long claws to deftly grab a cookie but looks sad when he sees how small it is.

Popol: Is this all, popo?

Wiz: A perfect practice dummy. Try making that cookie bigger.

Wiz: You can do it. Just focus!

Puff: Just... Focus...

--Puff lifts her wand.

Puff: Grow!

Popol: Whoa! Is it OK if I eat it all, popo?

--Popol's enormous figure is trapped beaneath an even bigger cookie.

--A smile returns to Puff's face.

(The quest begins)

Wiz: You're good!

Puff: Hehe.

Wiz: Now you need to learn to control your power.

Puff: Let's hurry! I'm going to rescue everybody with my magic!

Tabasa: Yeah, we should pick up the pace. We can't let anything happen to those children.

--Nina dashes ahead and restlessly sniffs the air.

Nina: Something's coming!

--Then two odd, panting dogs appear.

Puff: There's something wrong with these dogs!

Sakyuna: Those aren't normal dogs. They've been reconstructed.

Puff: Reconstructed?

Sakyuna: Yeah. Can't you see the patches on their bodies.

--When you take a closer look, you see scars all over their bodes that resembles stitching.

Sakyuna: Which means Emy's here.

--A girl shouldering an enormous wrench lumbers into view.

Emy: Good work. It looks like you found the intruders. As a reward, I'll charge you up.

--In response to her words, the dogs begin leaping and barking at her side.

Puff: What do she mean "charge"?

Sakyuna: Those are machines.

Puff: Really?

Sakyuna: They've already died once. Then Celina rebuilt them and brought them back to life.

Sakyuna: And it's not only dogs that she reconstructs.

Emy: I've been given the following input: Dr. Celina's enemies are my enemies.

--Emy approaches with her joints whirring and whining.

(Boss battle begins)

Emy: How could I, a machine, lose to mere flesh? And I was fully charged...

--Her monstrous strength spent, Emy falls to her knees.

Emy: You wouldn't happen to have a power source handy, would you?

Emy: I didn't think so. I guess I'll just hang out here until I die for real.

--Emy's dogs lick her, trying fruitlessly to restore her.

Puff: Sis, are there any cookies left?

Tabasa: Just a little.

Puff: Let's give them to her.

Tabasa: Sure.

Popol: Popo...

--Tabasa goes to Emy's side and offers her handmade pumpkin cookies.

Tabasa: Here you go.

--Emy grabs a cookie and takes a bite.

Emy: Wha-

--Power flows through Emy's body, and her energy is visibly restores.

Emy: I had forgotten that food can taste this good.

Emy: It's a pity. I can no longer register you as enemies.

--Emy bows deeply to Puff and Tabasa then disappears into the forest.

--Puff's stomach rumbles.

Puff: Now I'm hungry. Can I have a cookie?

Tabasa: That was the last one, Puff.

Puff: But... Oh no... This is the end...

--After staring for a moment at the facedown Puff, the rest of you resume your journey.

Hungry Festival
--You have nearly reached your destination.

--It is much colder then before, and exhaustion is starting to show on everyone's faces.

Tabasa: Come on, everybody! Just a little farther to the top!

Popol: I'm too hugry to walk, popo.

Sakyuna: Use your magic to make a colossal cupcake or something, Puff.

Sakyuna: You're the best, right?

Puff: Yeah...

--Puff's empty belly has robbed her of her trademark pep.

Nina: Don't push yourself.

Puff: I'm not giving up yet.

Popol: Can you do it?

--Puff gives Popol a nod and raises her wand.

Puff:Oh, candy! Come out!

Popol: I don't see it, popo.

--A spent Puff sits down on the spot.

Nina: Puff!

Puff: I'm so hungry... I can't do anything...

Wiz: Not overdoing yourself is important.

Puff: OK...

--Everyone is nearing their limits.

--"We need to keep going."

(The quest begins)

Popol:I don't care what it is, I just want food, popo.

Tabasa: I should have baked more cookies.

Sakyuna: What? Stop looking at me like that!

Sakyna: I'm... I'm sorry, OK? A little.

--Popol's glazed eyes reflect something glittering on the ground.

Popol: That's...

--A ray of light breaks through the clouds and illuminates solitary acorn.

Popol: An acorn!

--You have never seen Popol move as swiftly as he does then.

--He sprints to the tiny acorn, gingerly lifts it with his long claws, and gazes at it with deep affection.

Popol: It's a gift from the heaven... Or maybe a blessing from a generous squirrel.

--Ignoring the jealous eyes around him, he opens his salivating mouth.

Popol: At last!

--The acorn had almost disappeared into his gaping mouth when your hear a gunshot.

Popol: Agh! The squirrel's blessing!

--Popol wails, eyes still glued to the fingertips where the acorn used to be.

--You look around and notice a thin trail of smoke rising from the shadow of a boulder.

???: You guys might want to turn around and go home before somebody gets hurt.

--A girl holding a riffle saunters out from among the rocks.

Sakyuna: That's the sniper cat Gille!

???: Oh my, Sakyuna's here too. Since you work for Miss Celina, would you mind not getting it wrong?

Sakyuna: Get what wrong?

???: To be exact, I'm a leopard not a cat, OK?

Sakyuna: Who cares? And I don't work for Celina.

???: What are you talking about? Cat girls and lady leopards are totally different.

Popol: Hey! Give me my acorn back, popo!

--Popol gives a roar and charges toward Gille. She readies her gun.

--You immeduately grasp your cards.

(Boss battle begins)

--Gille's cats are softly licking her cheeks.

Gille: Are you guys alright?

Cats: Meow.

Gille:Oh... Good...

--She smiles gently, then struggles to her feet.

Nina: Don't even think about-

--Tabasa grabs onto Nina before she can attack Gille

Tabasa: Wait. I don't think he wants to fight.

Nina: Really?

--On unsteady legs, Gille slowly lowers her head.

Gille: Thanks. You intentionally never hit these little guys, right?

Gille: I can't thank you enough.

--"Why would we? Those cats didn't do anything wrong."

Gille: This is so embarrassing... You win...

--Without hesitation she teaches you a shortcut to the summit.

Gille: Be careful. Miss Celina won't go down easily.

--With that, Gille and her cats walk off the trail into the jumble of stones.

--"I have good news," you say to Wiz.

Wiz: What good news?

--You tell her that Puff fought in the last battle and was casting spells.

Wiz: Seriously?

--Wiz runs over to Puff to congratulate her.

Wiz: Puff?

--Puff just motionlessly stares at the ground as if in a daze.

Wiz: Why the long face?

--You follow her gaze.

Wiz: Wait, what's this?

--All sorts of sweets lie scattered at her feet.

Wiz: What happened?

Popol: Where have you been hiding these al this time, popo?

Sakyuna: I saw what happened. Can I tell them?

Puff: ...

Wiz: Is this what I think this is?

Sakyuna: Yup. Puff made it with magic!

Tabasa: You made candy in the middle of a fight?

Puff: Well yeah... I was hungry!

Puff: I said I'd be of help but... I'm sorry... Maybe I really can't become a wizard.

--She pouts her lips, covers her face, and starts to cry.

Wiz: Uh oh... There goes the last of her confidence.

--All you can do is listen to her weep.

Trick or Treat
--As you near the summit, Puff's mood grows darker, matching the rolling clouds.

Wiz: I've taught you everything I can. All you need now is confidence.

Popol: Brighten up, popo. We'll see everyone soon, popo.

Puff: Thanks...

Nina: After we rescue everybody, let's redo Haloween.

Tabasa: Pull yourself together.

Puff: Sis?

Tabasa: If they see that look one your face, they'll think you only came because you had to.

Tabasa: It may be hard, but we should at least greet them with a smile.

Puff: But... Even if I try to help, all I'll do is get in the way!

Puff: What should I do?

Tabasa: Let's see...

Tabasa: What I do is try to think of something fun.

Puff: Something fun?

Tabasa: Yep. We get to see everybody soon, right?

Tabasa: Their smiling faces are all waiting for us.

Nina: Puff just grinned a little.

Puff: Hey, Sis.

Tabasa: What?

Puff: Is it OK if I can't become a wizard?

Tabasa: What's wrong, getting timid all of a sudden?

Puff: Because even though we're on a rescue mission, all I can think about is candy and stuff.

Puff: I don't think I'm a wizard material yet. That's why...

Tabasa: That's fine. If you don't want to be a wizard, you don't have to.

Tabasa: I'm totally OK with you staying an apprentice.

Puff: But you're always telling me to pass that test...

Tabasa: It's fine. I just want to see you smiling again. As long as you're happy, I'm happy.

Tabasa: Plus, no matter what you are, you're still my little sister.

Puff: Thanks. But I’m going to try my best, even though it might not be enough.

Puff: It'd make you happier if I became a wizard, right?

Tabasa: Of course it would!

Sakyuna: Ugh, I feel sick.

Popol: This smell!

Popol: It's the gingerbread house, popo!

--The fog clears from the mountaintop to reveal the house on which the children were carried away.

(The quest begins)

--Puff leads your group to the gingerbread house.

Puff: We know you're there, Celina! Let the kids go!

--The inside of the house goes silent.

Puff: Huh?

--The door slowly opens. You see the silhouette standing in a cloud of smoke.

--Puff is shocked wen she sees who it is.

Puff: S-sis?

--Tabasa, who until a moment ago was standing at your side, appears from the smoke.

Puff: Sis! What's going on?

Tabasa?: You must be tired, Puff. I'm sorry. I was testing you.

Tabasa?: You did well. Come on, I baked you a cake.

--Puff walks toward her smiling sister as if in a trance.

Tabasa?: Come on...

Puff: Sis...

--Just as Puff grabs her sister's hand, a dark shadow leaps between them.

Cats: Meow!

--Some cats suddenly appear and swipe their claws at Tabasa.

Tabasa?: Ahhh!

Tabasa?: What?

--There is a beast-like roar, which seems to wake Puff up...

--Then Tabasa transforms into Celina.

Celina: Ugh! I was so close. Where did those cats come from?

Gille: Sorry. They said they wanted to save the kids, no matter what.

Celina: Gille? Are you betraying me?

Gille: I think of it as opening my eyes.

BT Cat: Hey! I won't let you be the only one to act all cool! My cats helped too!

Celina: BT? You too?

BT Cat: After I thought about it, I realized I don't need to become a cat just because I like them.

BT Cat: So I want to cancel our contract.

Celina: Gr...

Emy: I want to help too. I charged myself before I came.

Celina: Emy?

Emy: Just because I'm a machine doesn't mean I'll forget a cookie debt.

Celina: Unbelievable...

Celina: Sakyuna! You're still with me, right?

Sakyuna: Hm... I'm not really on anybody's side.

Celina: You...

Sakyuna: Sorry. As you can see, I like to go with the flow.

--Celina finds herself without allies and bursts into tears, clutching onto Puff.

Celina: Would you like a sweet?

Celina: Here, you can have all the candy you like.

Tabasa: What's wrong, Puff?

Puff: I...

Tabasa: What's wrong?

Wiz: Believe in yourself, Puff. Now think carefully. What do you want to do right now?

Puff: I... I want to...

--Puff turns to Celina and extends her hand.

Puff: I don't want candy! I want you to turn the children over!

Puff: And if you don't, I'll make you do it!

Celina: You talk pretty big for an apprentice. It looks like you need another lesson.

--When Celina raises her lantern staff, Puff brandishes her own little wand.

Puff: Trick or...

Puff: Magic!

(Boss battle begins)

--Puff's magic shatters Celina's illusion.

--The kidnapped children come running out of the gingerbread house.

Tabasa: Is everyone OK? Is anyone hurt?

Puff: Yay! They're safe!

Celina: How? How did I lose to this little girl?

Wiz: Puff isn't an apprentice anymore. She's a full-blown wizard, meow.

Puff: I haven't taken the test yet though.

Wiz: You'll pass with flying colors for sure.

--Puff grins from ear to ea.

Tabasa: You look stronger now.

Nina: Puff is awesome!

Popol: You're like a different person, popo!

--Then Puff comes to you and Wiz and bows her head.

Puff: Miss Cat, thank you very much!

Wiz: Stop being so polite, it's embarrassing, meow.

Tabasa: Truly we can't thank you enough.

--Puff's abdomen makes a loud sound.

Tabasa: Uh oh.

--Puff's face turns red.

Puff: I just realized how hungry I am...

--"I'll buy you a snack once we get back."

--Puff places her pumpkin hat on Wiz's head.

Puff: This hat is like a piece of me. Will you accept it?

Wiz: Is it alright to give me something so important?

Puff: But I think it might be too big.

--Puff tries to take the hat off, but it seems to be stuck.

--You grab onto Wiz and pull on the pumpkin hat with all your might.

Wiz: Whoa!

--Wiz pops out and throws you off balance.

--Then you and Wiz are blinded by a sudden bright light.

Epilogue
--When you come to, you are back at he guild

Wiz: Was that a dream?

--"If it was, it was way too real."

Wiz: Meow!

--Wiz points a black paw at the corner of the room.

--There lies a small hat made from a pumpkin.
