1. A Hop and a Skip Into Trouble

Vodka

It's not gonna work, Kawakami! That tree is more than two stories tall! Let's go get the custodian.

Daiwa Scarlet

You don't need to get my report. I can just rewrite it. Imagine if you fell and hurt yourself!

Kawakami Princess

Now now, no need to worry! This is no problem for a princess. Getting up that high'll be a piece of cake!

Here I go!

I wanna be a princess!

All pretty and sparkly... I'll be adored by all.

Young Kawakami

Heeey! Stop picking on the smaller kids or I'll beat the snot outta ya!

Boy A

Oh no, it's her, the berserk Umamusume! Run before she starts punchin'!

Boy B

You're no princess, berserk girl! You're just crazy!

Kawakami's Mother

I got a call again about her making another child cry. I don't understand why she's so aggressive.

Kawakami's Father

Well, she wants to be a princess, right? I say we give her some examples of how a sweet little princess behaves.

Kawakami's Mother

Here, look at this. The princess in this book is well-behaved, isn't she? If you want to become a princess, you'll have to be nice and quiet like her.

Young Kawakami

(Hmph. You don't know anything, Mom. A real princess is someone just like...)

TV Show

"A princess is always beautiful, graceful, and courageous! I'm the Spitfire Cutieโ˜†Princess Fighter!"

Young Kawakami

See?! Even someone like me can be a princess! So I'm gonna be a princess too, the strongest ever!

Kawakami Princess

That's right. I'm going to become a princess, one who's beautiful, graceful, and courageous!

It's still my first month as a new trainer at Tracen Academy, so I decide to take a walk and get a better lay of the land.

Kawakami Princess

Hraaaaagh!

Agh, h-hey! G-get outta the waaay!

Your choice

What the?!

A student comes rushing at me like a runaway train. She's going to crash right into me...

But, amazingly, she pivots at the last moment and kicks off a wall, leaping straight into the air!

Kawakami Princess

Phew... That was a close one. โ™ช

Hm? Gaaagh! Th-this is not good! What did I do?!

Your choice

(What happened?!)

Vodka

You okay, Kawakami...

Yikes! You made holes all over the wall!

Daiwa Scarlet

Geez, I tried to stop you. But no, you had to charge right off, Kawakami!

Kawakami Princess

Uuugh... I didn't mean for this. It's all wrong!

???

KAWAKAMI!

Air Groove

You've really done it this time with your rampaging, Kawakami Princess! Look at these giant holes in the school building, this is unprecedented!

Kawakami Princess

Eep! I'm sorry, it was an accident! But I had a big reason, bigger than the ocean!

Air Groove

I'll hear all about your reasons in the student council office! Come with me!

Vodka

Crud! We better follow 'em!

I don't know what's going on, but I decide to find out at the student council office where Kawakami Princess was taken.

Your choice

So what were you doing back there anyway?

Daiwa Scarlet

My report got stuck in a tree, and Kawakami was trying to get it for me.

Vodka

We said it was dangerous, but she wouldn't listen...

Symboli Rudolf

Hmm... So the damage inflicted to the wall was not intentional, and you were merely attempting to help your friend?

Kawakami Princess

That's right... I just wanted to get this report down from the tree...

Scarlet stayed up all night writing it, so it's really important.

But a stupid breeze snatched it away! I'm a princess, I couldn't just stand there and do nothing!

Air Groove

Whatever your reason, why did you get so upset that you had to jump up there? You could've looked for a ladder, and then none of this would've happened.

Kawakami Princess

But, well... A real princess doesn't need stuff like that... You know, like the old saying goes.

"When you're in a pinch, throw a punch!"

Air Groove

That is not a saying! And this isn't the first time. Just the other day, you...

Vodka

Hoo boy, she's really gettin' it. It's awesome that she can't leave a friend hangin', but those holes were majorly bad.

Daiwa Scarlet

We should've tried harder to stop her. Though... Kawakami wouldn't have listened anyway.

Kawakami Princess

That was rough... Air Groove doesn't pull her punches.

Daiwa Scarlet

Kawakami! What happened in there?

Kawakami Princess

Don't worry, you two... I told them it wasn't on purpose. They said the student council will take care of repairs. But...

Vodka

But what?

Kawakami Princess

As punishment for giving the council all that extra work, I have to do chores for them the whole day...

Starting with... taking down all the old posters in the entire buildiiing!

So this is Kawakami Princess... She's really energetic, almost alarmingly so.

2. My Shining Inspiration

56 lines
Kawakami Princess

There, the bulletin boards are finished! I'll have everything princess-perfect in no time!

You really don't mind helping me though? Your whole day was almost ruined because of me.

Your choice

Well, it was kind of my fault too.

Kawakami Princess

Wow, you're so sweet! You know, if I ran into you and not the wall, you'd be the one full of holes right now!

Your choice

(I'd have been Swiss cheese!)

After leaving the office, Kawakami Princess gives me a proper, heartfelt apology for almost running over me.

I apologize as well, explaining that I wanted to help her because I should've been watching where I was going.

Kawakami Princess

Still, Tracen Academy is huge, isn't it? Getting around the whole school is going to tire out even a princess like me.

She talks about herself as if she's an actual princess. I wonder if that word has some special meaning to her.

Your choice

You're a princess, huh?

Kawakami Princess

Oh, couldn't you tell by looking? Yep, I'm a real-life princess. Just like Princess Fighter!

Your choice

Huh?

Kawakami Princess

Tell me you've watched Spitfire Cutieโ˜†Princess Fighter before! Everyone has!

She's a princess who races fair and square against the wicked Dark Umamusume. She's the strongest warrior there is, Princess Fighter!

She never loses heart because of all the love and support she gets from her prince, Legendary Trainer.

I've wanted to become a princess since I was a little kid. Everyone always tells me someone so wild can't be one though...

I thought I was the worst. It got me really down, but then Princess Fighter showed me what to do.

"A princess is always beautiful, graceful, and courageous!"

Even a spitfire can be a princess! That's why I came to Tracen, to become a strong, brave princess just like Princess Fighter!

Your choice

Is that right...

Kawakami Princess

Huh? Why's your face all scrunched up?

Don't tell me you think I'm dreaming too big. You wouldn't joke around like that, right?

It's my dream, I'm the one who decides it, and I'm the one who will achieve it.

So what if I set high goals for myself? I'm going to be just like Princess Fighter, then you'll see!

Your choice

That's great!

I'm really impressed by her daring attitude. With conviction like that, I bet she'll become a terrific racer.

King Halo

What's this? Oh, if it isn't Kawakami.

Kawakami Princess

Wah! I-it's you! K-King! It's been s-so, er, since morning! Good since morning!

King Halo

"Good since morning?" I haven't heard that before... Never mind though. What are you doing here?

Kawakami Princess

Oh, uh, you see... It's not like it looks. Air Groove... from the student council... told me I, uh...

King Halo

Oh, are you helping the student council now? Good for you!

King Halo

To become first-rate, one must act the part, and that includes thankless service... Heh. An admirable effort.

You know, if you need it, I could help out if you want.

Kawakami Princess

Whaaat?! Don't be crazy! This is my job, so I've gotta do it!

King Halo

Oh, really? All right, I'll be on my way then. Keep up the good work.

Your choice

She's what?

Kawakami Princess

Just wonderful! Perfect! Just look at the way she carries herself so beautifully!

Your choice

(She's got that look in her eyes like when she was talking about Princess Fighter!)

Kawakami Princess

I've been thinking, King might be the Umamusume most like Princess Fighter in the world!

I mean it! She's already perfect! She's got beauty, refinement, dignity...

Your choice

You must really look up to her.

Kawakami Princess

I sure do! I've aspired to be like her ever since I saw her the first time I came to the academy!

She's always so grand and majestic. And the way she moves, it's like, uh...

Your choice

Elegant?

Kawakami Princess

Yeah, that! She's elegant! That's what really makes a princess, elegance!

And she complimented me... This won't do at all! I've got to finish these chores on my own!

Well, good day to you!

Huff... Puff...

(She complimented me! I was complimented by King! I just need to keep it up a little longer until the tryouts. Then I can be a princess too!)

(A princess... like King... Wait, can I even compare to King, like, be her equal?)

Kawakami's Mother

Here, look at this. The princess in this book is well-behaved, isn't she? If you want to become a princess, you'll have to be nice and quiet like her.

Kawakami Princess

(No way. Is that what Mom was trying to tell me? That if I can't be like King, I can't become a princess?!)

B-but I'm not anything like her!

3. Princess in Training

70 lines

A few days later, I go to the cafeteria for my break and happen to see Kawakami Princess's two friends.

Vodka

Hey, don't you think we should stop her?

Daiwa Scarlet

You're right... That's simply too much.

I glance over to where the two are looking and see Kawakami Princess. It seems like she's just relaxing with some tea...

Kawakami Princess

Ergh... Why're these little teacups so hard to hold? It's making my... fingers tired...

Ouch, that's hot! It's okay, just need to stay calm...

Hooohohoho, there's nothing more princess-like than enjoying a nice cup of tea in the afternoon!

Vodka

This is weird. She wasn't always like this, right?

Daiwa Scarlet

Well, she's on her twentieth cup of tea. That much can't be good for the body...

Vodka

And she used to eat big, heaping plates of food. Now she barely eats at all.

Daiwa Scarlet

I think she was saying that princesses are too elegant to eat more than a handful of anything.

Your choice

(Elegant? That reminds me...)

Kawakami Princess

Yeah, that! She's elegant! That's what really makes a princess, elegance!

She admires King Halo's refined manners, but from what her friends are saying, she might be taking things a little too far.

Vodka

Aaagh! Kawakami disappeared while we were standing here yappin'! Where'd she go?!

Daiwa Scarlet

Oh, who knows? We've got practice to get to, so let's have a talk with her later.

The two move on with their day, but I'm starting to get more worried than them.

Your choice

Maybe I should look for her. I could ask what's going on.

Kawakami Princess

Urrrp... My stomach's about to burst...

Wait, I can't let a little hardship get me down! This is all part of a princess's mission, for elegance!

Erk... Ugh...

Your choice

Hi, mind if we chat a little?

Kawakami Princess

Gah! Y-you've got it all wrong, I didn't puke! I managed to keep it down!

Wait, is that you, Trainer? Hello there... Ungh. Isn't it a nice day?

Your choice

No need to push yourself!

Kawakami Princess

P-push myself? I'm just taking a nice, elegant walk, as princesses do.

Your choice

You don't have to try to be elegant all the time.

Kawakami Princess

Try to be? W-wait, don't tell me you know!

You know I'm training myself to be elegant?!

I'm so sorry for losing my cool. I had no idea anyone would be able to tell I was practicing.

Your choice

Practicing for what exactly?

Kawakami Princess

Well, of course, to act in the proper, dignified manner of a princess. You know, cause princesses have to be all graceful and elegant.

Your choice

Like King Halo?

Looks like I hit the nail on the head, but Kawakami suddenly seems disappointed.

Kawakami Princess

I'm so shocked someone found out... But you're right. I was practicing so I could become like King.

I've always looked up to how strong Princess Fighter is. Once I came to the academy though, I met King Halo, and...

I realized a princess needs to be refined and graceful, like her! That's why I'm going to follow her example, and...

Your choice

Wait, what example do you mean?

Kawakami Princess

Well, like, she never goes up stairs two at a time, or chugs down fizzy drinks, or eats from a giant bowl of food...

Your choice

How's that going?

Kawakami Princess

It's going... Actually, it's not going well at all. I don't feel even a tiny bit like her.

The tryouts are already coming up, but I wonder if someone like me can really become a princess before then...

I see what she's worried about, but I'm starting to think it might not be the best for her. How do I tell her that though?

Your choice

Why don't we go see the real deal one more time?

Kawakami Princess

Hm? Go see King? But I've already watched her a whole bunch.

Your choice

There's always something new you can learn.

Kawakami Princess

Well, if you say so, I guess it might be good.

King Halo

Exhale... Hup!

Kawakami Princess

Aaaah! She really is wonderful! Just look at that dignified form, that graceful movement!

Only King could run so elegantly! It's what a princess should be... Ah!

Crash!

King Halo

Ugh... I'm not done yet!

Kawakami Princess

Wow... She fell, but she's still going, even all covered in mud. How noble, how beautiful...

Your choice

But she doesn't need to go that far, right?

Kawakami Princess

Of course she does! She's determined to go as far as it takes to be first-rate!

She has an unshakable ideal, no matter what other people might think! That's why she's a bright, shining example of, oh.

I get it... The thing that makes her so dignified comes from the inside.

That's why it was so hard for me. If I just copy how she moves, I'm still empty on the inside...

It's strange to see her this sad... Does she really think she's empty inside?

Your choice

I think you've simply lost sight of something important.

Kawakami Princess

Huh?

It's my dream, I'm the one who decides it, and I'm the one who will achieve it.

She knew exactly what her dream was back then.

Your choice

Surely you have an ideal of your own to work towards.

Kawakami Princess

Really? You mean I don't just have to copy Princess Fighter or King Halo?

Your choice

Don't rush it. It'll come if you think about it carefully.

Kawakami Princess

You're... right. I still have time before the tryouts.

Your choice

I'll be there to cheer you on.

Kawakami Princess nods along, though she still seems uneasy watching King Halo.

4. I'm a Princess!

57 lines

It's the day of the tryouts, but before the races begin, I go to see how Kawakami Princess is doing.

Kawakami Princess

Hello, Trainer. You really came to see my race.

Your choice

How're you feeling?

Kawakami Princess

I didn't get much sleep to be honest! I was so nervous I couldn't think straight, so I watched all forty-nine episodes of Princess Fighter!

Your choice

Whoa, can you race after that?!

Kawakami Princess

I don't know! But even Princess Fighter says princesses have to risk it all at the end, so I have to try!

Your choice

Well, I'll be here rooting for you.

Kawakami Princess

Thank you! Okay, I should get going!

Caster

The weather's finally cleared after last night's rain, but which Umamusume will be a breath of fresh air and claim their chance to debut?

All these evenly matched Umamusume will make for a highly competitive race. Everyone's lined up at the gates, and... there's the start!

Kawakami Princess

Huff... Puff...

(Ah, it feels great to run with everything I have!)

(I've always loved princesses, but I love being active too.)

(Then when I met King, I was really impressed. Sure, she has the dignity of a princess, but... she also never loses spirit.)

(Her and Princess Fighter have that same dazzling strength. It makes me jealous of how bright and sparkly they are...)

(But what is it I really admire most?)

Pant... Pant... Ugh!

(It's so hard... I just don't know. I tried copying them, but that didn't help. What do I want to be? What kind of princess do I want to become?)

(Trainer said I have my own way, that I have my own ideal to aim for... But I don't see it!)

Agh!

Caster

Oh no, she slipped right before the last turn! Kawakami Princess is hurtling toward the outside.

Skilled Trainer A

That sent her into the mud. She must've misjudged the track... Ah well, these things happen with pre-debuts.

New Trainer A

It'll be hard to get back after that. Kinda makes me feel bad for her.

Kawakami Princess

(I don't understand... Can I really not do this?)

(Am I not meant to become... a princess?)

Your choice

You can't stop! You're a princess after all!

Caster

She's regained control! Kawakami Princess is running with all her might now. Will she be able to catch up to the front though?!

Will she make it? She can't close the gap, but she's trying hard.

Your choice

Go for it! Don't give up on your ideal self!

Kawakami Princess

I hear you... loud... and CLEAR!

Caster

This is amazing! Kawakami Princess is giving an amazing chase. She's going straight to the front from way outside!

Kawakami Princess

Aaagh! I... am... a princess! I will become a princess!

(I see it now. All I really wanted was to never give up... on becoming a princess and on being myself!)

(The whole point of an ideal is to help me be a better me. It's all for nothing if I don't keep running for my dream and for myself!)

Hraaaaagh!

Caster

That's the finish!

Kawakami Princess was on fire! She fought till the last and made it all the way to first place!

Kawakami Princess

Look at me now! A princess smashes through any adversity!

Traineeer, I did it! I went for what I wanted and took the win!

Your choice

Congrats! You were amazing!

Kawakami Princess

Thank you so much for cheering for me! I could hear you so clearly, and I'll never forget it!

Your choice

Did you find your answer?

Kawakami Princess

Yeah! I really do want to be a beautiful, graceful, and courageous princess. But a princess...

Keeps on running through the worst of it and never gives up on herself! A princess never gives up on her ideals!

So I don't care if I looked a little ungraceful this time! I'm going to become graceful someday, in my own special way!

Seeing her beaming expression, I realize that I have to tell her right now.

Your choice

I want to help you achieve your dream.

Kawakami Princess

Wha? You want to help? Wait, does that mean what I think it means?!

Your choice

To be clear, I'm still nothing like Legendary Trainer or anything...

So long as she wants to become her ideal version of a princess, I want to become a legendary trainer to help her along the way.

Your choice

...?!

Kawakami Princess

Of course! You opened my eyes when I'd lost sight of my dream!

I know I can be my ideal version of a princess with your help! I won't fail!

Our legend will rock the world! Onward to beauty, grace, and becoming the strongest, fastest princess there is!

This is the day I start my adventure with the rough and tough Kawakami Princess!

5. Dark Princess Appears

40 lines
Kawakami Princess

Hraaaaagh! Princess coming through!

Yaaay, I did it! Another beautiful, graceful, courageous day, and a big win!

Your choice

Looking good out there.

Kawakami Princess

You've got that right! It's all because...

I've got my fateful partner! The prince of my future is with me!

The moment we bonded there was a big bang of a miracle! That's the real power of a bond!

Your choice

Your confidence is through the roof...

Kawakami Princess

There's no doubt about that! I learned it all from Princess Fighter!

Wherever it came from, confidence is always a good thing. So long as she can keep this up...

???

Hmph. It seems I've finally found you, would-be princess. Or should I say, overconfident commoner?

Kawakami Princess

What do you mean, "would-be"?! And who are you?!

Umamusume with Princess Curls

Heh... Can you not tell by my aura brimming with princess spirit? I'm the real princess here! And the strongest too, my princess power is over 100 billion!

Kawakami Princess

I don't care what your level is! I'm a fantastic princess! I even found my prince!

Umamusume with Princess Curls

Hm? A prince, you say? You don't mean that trainer there, do you?

Your choice

Yeah, that's me.

Umamusume with Princess Curls

Ahahaha! You're so plain, I didn't even notice you! Like a paltry piece of carrot in cheap instant noodles!

Kawakami Princess

M-my trainer is nothing of the sort! My trainer's like, um... wagyu steak topped with caviar...

Your choice

Can we stop with the food comparisons?

Umamusume with Princess Curls

Heh... If you're so mad about it, why don't you race me and make me shut up? I'll personally show you what a real princess can do!

Kawakami Princess

I was about to say the same thing! You'll take back those words once I beat the daylights out of you!

Your choice

Hold on a sec!

(I've seen this Umamusume before. She's a veteran with some serious Twinkle Series wins under her belt!)

Kawakami Princess

Oh, don't worry! There's no way I'd lose to a bully like that. I'll leave her in my dust and win the race in time for tea!

Your choice

Let's at least come up with a plan!

Kawakami Princess

Aw, come on. You worry way too much! I don't need any tactics or anything! Because...

We've got the invincible power of our bond! Just trust it and wait for my return!

My attempts to stop her go unheard. Maybe she's gotten a little too confident...

Kawakami Princess

Okay! I've got a good pace now! Time to cut straight through to the finish!

Kawakami Princess is running in top form like usual, but the curly-haired rival princess is trailing eerily close behind her.

Umamusume with Princess Curls

Heh... Are you all talk, Kawakami? What do you think a princess is?

Kawakami Princess

Huh?! I know exactly what a princess is! Beautiful, graceful, and courageous...

Umamusume with Princess Curls

Hahaha, mwahahaha! Don't make me laugh! Here, I'll tell you something useful!

It's the undeniable, overwhelming power to crush those beneath you, that's what makes a true princess!

Umamusume with Princess Curls

Aaahahahaha! If you'll excuse me!

Kawakami tries desperately to catch up, but by the end, she finishes three lengths behind.

Kawakami Princess

Pant, pant... Ugh, why?!

Umamusume with Princess Curls

Heh heh heh, aaahahahagh! Cough, cough! This is the difference between a real princess... and a fake!

Kawakami Princess

Waaah! It's not faaair!

Kawakami Princess runs off before I even have a chance to console her...

6. Finding a True Bond

67 lines

I go to the city on my day off to get a look at something that I think might cheer Kawakami Princess up.

Suddenly an exasperated sigh grabs my attention, it's her.

Kawakami Princess

Wh-whoa! Trainer?! What are you doing here?

Your choice

You seem pretty down today.

Kawakami Princess

Well, yeah... of course I am! It's horrible! The way that bully behaved was the worst!

She was just like this character in Princess Fighter... the leader of the Dark Umamusume, Dark Princess!

I can't believe I lost to her... This isn't just a bad ending, it's downright depressing! I've been demoted from princess to frog!

Kawakami Princess is more upset about her loss than I thought. The place I came to check out should be of help though.

Your choice

Hey, there's somewhere I think we should go.

Kawakami Princess

Hm? And where is that?

Your choice

Oh, I don't want to spoil it. You'll see.

Kawakami Princess

...?

WHOOOA!

Trainer, this poster... It's for the very first Princess Fighter movie!

But why... It came out years ago!

Your choice

I found a theater that does showings of older movies.

Kawakami Princess

So you mean... we can actually watch Princess Fighter right now? On the big screen?

Your choice

We sure can!

Kawakami Princess

Woohoooo! This is great!

It's really the best, Trainer! What're we waiting for? Let's get our tickets!

I think it's working!

Kawakami Princess

Aaah... That was so moving!

Your choice

I'm glad you liked it.

Kawakami Princess

I loved it! The first movie will always be the best one! It was so exciting I thought I was going to break my armrests off!

Ah, like that scene where the princess is surrounded by a billion Dark Umamusume troops but escapes orbit by following the prince's light signal!

Or the scene at the moon racetrack where she and the prince purify the Dark Nebula Emperor after he fused with the black hole! I could watch it a million times!

Wow, that was such fun... Really...

...

Your choice

What's wrong?

Kawakami Princess

A real princess and her prince have to make incredible things like that happen, huh...

But when it came to it, I got wrecked by Dark Princess, well, someone just like Dark Princess.

I'm not fit to be a princess. The furthest I'll ever get is background extra...

Your choice

But what about that other scene?

Kawakami Princess

Huh? What other scene?

Your choice

The one right before the big climax.

Kawakami Princess

Right before... Where the princess and trainer are about to enter the race that'll decide the fate of the planet?

Exactly. Before the final battle, when things are at their darkest, the princess and trainer have one last talk...

Princess Fighter

Could this truly be the end for us? Is there no way to save the planet?!

Legendary Trainer

Wait, there's still a way... There's one last race for us to finish!

Listen to me, Princess. We already know that no matter how much we struggle, we can't pull off a miracle on our own... unless!

Princess Fighter

We embrace our strengths and weaknesses... And we combine our differences...

Legendary Trainer

Then our power will far exceed our normal capabilities. That... that is what makes a real miracle!

Kawakami Princess

("So let's go... to the race of our destiny!" Oooh, the most famous scene in the movie!)

(Whoa, wait one moment! What was it I said before?)

Aw, come on. You worry way too much! I don't need any tactics or anything! Because...

We've got the invincible power of our bond! Just trust it and wait for my return!

Aaaaagh!

Your choice

Are you okay?!

Kawakami Princess

I... I was totally taking it easy before! I took things for granted, like a miracle would just happen on its own!

I've seen the Princess Fighter movie dozens of times! But I forgot such an important thing!

Argh! I'm so ashamed I could just smash a hole in the ground and hide in it right this instant!

Your choice

Don't worry! Our fight is only beginning!

It hasn't been long since we first met. In Princess Fighter terms... we're on around episode six. We've barely gotten started.

Kawakami Princess

Ah! You're right! That's exactly it! In the beginning, Princess Fighter doesn't start out as a perfect princess!

She hates how training is going and swims off to a desert island... And even crushes the dumbbells given to her by the crafter!

But that's when she and the prince talk it out and understand each other... They grow stronger over the course of forty-nine episodes!

Your choice

And that's exactly what we're going to do!

I'm just starting out too, so I'm far from being Legendary Trainer, but I'm going to get there someday with Kawakami Princess!

Kawakami Princess

Yeah, let's do it! We'll follow the way of the princess together!

And I... I want to know more about you, about my prince!

I mean, there's so much I have no idea about! Like, what kind of clothes you like, or your favorite ramen toppings and training equipment!

Your choice

You have to tell me all about yourself too.

Kawakami Princess

I definitely will! We'll talk about it all, everything from our childhoods to what our parents are like!

Right... The power of a bond between a princess and her prince... That's what'll truly power up my racing!

Ahhh, I feel like I'm about to explode with energy! Kawakami Princess... is... baaack!

7. A Princess and Her Prince

62 lines
Kawakami Princess

We're here at last! I'm so super-duper-ultra excited for summer camp!

Buuut... this isn't just time to jump for joy! Isn't that right, Trainer?

Right... While summer camp is our chance to train, there's also a special event happening this year.

There's a race that follows the road from the beach all the way to camp... And Kawakami Princess has entered to run.

Kawakami Princess

I even thought all about the most important things from the movie! Today we've got to show off the true bond between a princess and her prince!

Your choice

We definitely will!

Umamusume with Princess Curls

Well, well, I thought I smelled a commoner. It's the same smell of cheap noodles that, unlike authentic ramen, will live out their life in anonymity!

Kawakami Princess

Ah, it's you! Dark Princ, ahem, I mean, the bully from before!

Umamusume with Princess Curls

Heh... I suppose you hope to join the race today? I wouldn't recommend it, since I'll be participating.

Heh heh heh... I'm sure even you understand now. You'll never win against a real princess, so why don't you just slink off...

Kawakami Princess

Never! There's no way I'll back down from this battle! As a fighting princess, I'll be there, with my prince by my side!

Umamusume with Princess Curls

Hmph! You just don't learn, but have it your way... I'll simply have to crush you underfoot this time!

Kawakami Princess

To be honest, I can't really compare to her. I might hate it, but I saw the truth when we raced.

Still... I won't run away from this! I have to win! We have to combine our powers to defeat her, 'kay?

Your choice

Yeah!

Kawakami Princess

So we need to start strategizing right away! First things first...

A name for our battle plan! I'm thinking either, "The Princess and Prince's Big Banquet" or "The Power of Two - Winds of Victory!" Which one do you like?

Your choice

We can always think of the name later...

After our strategy meeting, the day gets even hotter, leading into the fiery race we've prepped for!

Kawakami Princess

Pant... Pant... Hyaaah!

Umamusume with Princess Curls

Well, look at you! All that confidence, only to get worn out so soon!

Student Caster

We're past the midpoint! The hot summer sun must be taking a toll on their stamina! Who will pull ahead?!

Umamusume with Princess Curls

Pant... Pant... Hehehe! Make way for a real princess! Raaaaagh!

Someone in the back is sprinting all the way to the lead... It's Dark Princess!

Student Caster

They're almost at the finish line! It looks like first place is going to, hold on!

Kawakami Princess

HIIIYAAAAAH!

Student Caster

Kawakami's pulled away from the pack! That's one big burst of speed!

Umamusume with Princess Curls

Huh?! But she was exhausted. Where's that power coming from?!

Kawakami Princess

Hraaagh! Princess Acceleration... times a trillion!

Student Caster

Kawakami's caught up to the lead right before the finish! Who will claim the win?!

Umamusume with Princess Curls

Pant, pant... You don't know who you're messing with! Victory goes to... the true...

Kawakami Princess

It goes to the princess with a true bond! And that's MEEE!

Student Caster

Finish! First place goes to... Kawakami! She won by a nose!

Kawakami Princess

Hah! I did it! Yeah!

Umamusume with Princess Curls

N-no... This can't beee! How... How could I lose?!

Kawakami Princess

I saw through your trick. You're good at charging ahead from the back during the last leg.

Umamusume with Princess Curls

What did you say?!

Kawakami Princess

I did lose to you once, so my trainer found out all about you.

That's why our plan was to wait until you went full strength, then I'd dish out all my power at once and return the favor! It's called...

"Princess Power Times a Trillion - Demolish Dark Princess with Our True Bond!" Catchy, huh?!

Still though, we put all that work into our strategy, but it was a close one! You really are a tough enemy!

Umamusume with Princess Curls

Hmph... I don't need your pathetic consolations!

Kawakami Princess

Come on, we're not enemies anymore since the race is over! That's a Princess Fighter promise! From today on, we're friendly rivals!

Umamusume with Princess Curls

Hah, you like Princess Fighter? I stopped watching that years ago.

Kawakami Princess

What?! I knew it, you're a Princess Fighter fan too! Cause all your lines were just like Dark Princess!

Umamusume with Princess Curls

E-enough of that! You're totally wrong! I only watched it when I ate instant noodles at snack time...

Kawakami Princess

Yes, yes, yesss! This is a victory for the powerful bond between a princess and her prince!

It's just us on the moonlit beach, and Kawakami Princess is filled with glee after her big win.

Kawakami Princess

I forgot, Trainer! There's something I really wanted to try if I won! Can we?!

Your choice

Anything you want!

Kawakami Princess

Ehehe, okay, here it is! Um... You remember the last part of the movie? I want to recreate it with the two of us!

Your choice

The last scene in Princess Fighter?

Kawakami Princess

Yeah! On their way home after saving Earth, the princess and prince have a heart-to-heart on the moon!

Let's see... Ahem! O-okay, here I go!

"Prince... We did it... We saved the planet."

Your choice

"You fought beautifully, Princess."

Kawakami Princess

"But this isn't the end. Everyone's waiting for us back on Earth!"

Your choice

"You're right. Our race isn't over yet."

Kawakami Princess

"No matter the battle, I will overcome it! Because I... I am with my one and only prince!"

Aaaah! The bond between them really is special!

(And the prince of my destiny... is right here in front of me!)

Heehee! With the power of our bond, we're going to perform the greatest miracles the world's ever seen!
