Bianca

Hive, Throne Room

[Story, first entry]

Guard: My Queen, the Ant Kingdom's explorers have arrived. The doctor's here, as well.

Bianca: Oh! Adorable, aren't they? Welcome!

Bianca: I hope the Hive has shown great hospitality and kindness towards you.

Kabbu: Y-Yes! We are grateful, Que-

Mothiva: Oh, most respected Queen! Your words humble our heart - we are truly blessed to be in your presence!

(minibubble) Zasp: (Mothiva... Don't overdo it.)

(minibubble) Mothiva: (Shut up!)

Vi: Uh, yeah. It's nice to be back…

Bianca: Vi! Is that you? You have grown so beautifully into a fine bee!

Vi: U-Um…

Bianca: We have heard of your exploits here. You have brought pleasant surprises to my days.

Kabbu: That's great, Vi!

Vi: T-Thank you, Queen.

(minibubble) Mothiva: (Grr!!!)

Eri: The Hive is wonderful! Makes me wish I was a bee!

Bianca: Ahaha! Now, now. We all have our wonderful place in this world.

(minibubble) Leif: (This Queen is something else. If only ours took note...)

Bianca: But now, the time for pleasantries is over. If you don't mind, let us get to the matter at hand.

Bianca: H.B.?

H.B.: Yes, my Queen.

Bianca: As we all know, the graceful Ant Queen has made a heavy request of our kind.

Bianca: The core of the Honey Factory, which we owe this great kingdom to, has turned out to be an artifact.

Bianca: Under normal circumstances, we would have to deny even the Queen her request.

Bianca: However, she has provided us with all we need to build a new core.

Gen: R-Right! Kina should have delivered them to the factory already…

H.B.: Fufufu... Yes, I have gone there and gave a quick examination.

H.B.: With my incredible intellect, I can quickly create a suitable replacement. All due to these materials' incredible quality!

Bianca: It's quite a simple ordeal, isn't it? Almost feels like we've gone through a bit too many formalities…

Mothiva: Never, Your Majesty! There is no request we would not acquiesce for thee!

(minibubble) Vi: Ac-squeeze?

Bianca: Ahaha! If you are true of your word, that would make me most happy.

Bianca: For I would like to invite you to accompany the doctor to the Honey Factory, and witness this pivotal exchange.

Bianca: You are not obligated to go, but it would warm our heart if you did…

Mothiva: Yes. YES!

Eri: Sure thing! We would love to see even more of the kingdom!

Leif: Yes. For one, seeing honey being produced sounds delicious.

Kabbu: Leif, you are not to eat any of it!

(minibubble) Leif: (Aww...)

Vi: Um, thanks. We'll go.

Bianca: Vi…

Vi: Q-Queen?

Bianca: Contrary to what I believed, it seems the outside world did you some good.

Bianca: You look so grown up! Your team has my thanks.

Kabbu: Ah! Um, you're welcome, Queen.

Vi: I...I haven't changed at all. I'm the same Vi!

Bianca: Ahaha... A mother knows best. Maybe you've yet to notice.

(minibubble) Vi: ...

Mothiva: W-Well! Shall we go?

Guard: The Queen is speaking! Shut your mouth!

(minibubble) Mothiva: E-Eep!

Bianca: No need to be so ruthless, my dear guard. Ahaha!

Bianca: But you are indeed free to go unto the factory. It's to the west of my throne's entrance.

Bianca: Vi, please take care of everyone as they explore. As sure as I am that there will be no issues.

Vi: ...Yeah. I will. You can count on me!

Guard: Dismissed!

Mothiva: Sigh...Let's go, Zasp.

Zasp: About time.

H.B.: Now, teams. I still have to pick up some tools. We'll meet up there.

H.B.: Don't let the wind blow you off the bridge!

Kabbu: Geez, Vi. You made bees seem so mean! When you have a graceful Queen like that!

Leif: Even we are disarmed by her words. They remind us of Elizant.

Vi: ...I was mad at everyone, okay?

Leif: Even so, you shouldn't have badmouthed them.

Vi: Fine. I'm sorry, okay!? And I'll, uh...I'll fix stuff. Slowly. Can we just do the mission?

Kabbu: Heheheh. Alright. Let's go, team.

[before the lockdown]

Bianca: The way to the factory is just outside, you can't miss it.

Bianca: Please enjoy your visit!

[Quest: Power Plant Investigation]

Bianca: Excuse me!? How could you let this happen!?

Guard: I-I don't know, my Queen…

Guard: Reports say that something went wrong at the Power Plant, which caused the Code 32 lockdown!

Bianca: And you found nothing in the Power Plant? Are you certain you looked through EVERYTHING?

Guard: Y-yes, Your Majesty.

Bianca: To think our honored guests were endangered! This must not happen again. Please do see to that.

Guard: We will continue our investigation with double the troops!

Bianca: You should have given it your all from the start!

Guard: S-sorry, my Queen...

[Talk again]

Bianca: Ah, Vi. I humbly commend you for your service at the Factory.

Vi: It was no problem!

Bianca: I hope that this incident doesn't make you dread coming home again…

Vi: N-no. Seriously, it's super fine!

Bianca: Oh hoho! I'm glad, Vi. ...I hope you can reconcile with everyone soon.

Vi: Y-yeah. I'm uh, working on it. Gotta go!

Ant Palace, Bridge

[Ending]

Bianca: Vi, Kabbu, Leif. The Bee Kingdom extends its utmost honor and gratitude.

Bianca: Vi...you've made me so proud! You've opened new frontiers for all Bees!

Vi: A-Ahahaha...Yeah! I really did!

Bianca: I hope you'll come visit more often, my dear child.

Hive, Throne Room

[postgame]

Bianca: Vi...I knew since you were born you'd do something incredible.

Bianca: Your path may have been unconventional, but I am proud of you.

Vi: M-Mom...! You helped us out too!

Kabbu: Say, Vi. The Queen mentioned a mother knowing best…

Vi: Just a bee thing, really.

Leif: Do you think of the Queen as your mother?

Vi: Not really... She's the Queen before anything else.

Kabbu: I'm sure she does think of you as her daughter, though.

Vi: Dunno... Everyone's her daughter to her. Does it make anyone special then?

Leif: That's another way of thinking about it…

Vi: You two are overthinking this! Let's get going already!
