Handsome Gorilla - Chapter 5: Thank You All - Episode 1
In the romantic storybook corner of the Sphiria Book Fair, Lunalu's friends have already set up a booth by the time the artist herself arrives. She picks up a copy of her work laid out across the table and gazes at it in awe. The group takes notice of the group name "CtK4Life" which Lunalu had come up with.
Preparations for the Sphiria Book Fair are ongoing as opening time approaches.
In one corner of the venue are the romantic storybook booths.
Melissabelle: Okay now... Can we use this table to display our work?
Mahira: That should be okay. This space is reserved for Lunalu after all.
Melissabelle: It's almost like having our own bookstore. Though it feels a little desolate with only twenty copies.
Mahira: That's pretty standard for anyone starting out. Let's spread them out across the table.
Melissabelle: Mm-hm, maybe we can display them in the alternating order of front cover, back cover.
Mahira: Ah...
Milleore: Hey, about the price tags... The staff said they have to go with the price listed when we first regis—
Sahli Lao: Ooh! Popol and Mikhail laid out on the table! What a sight!
Melissabelle: Yes, I've never seen so many men with long eyelashes lined up together. It's wonderful.
Milleore: Seeing them in a well-lit space like this really showcases what an incredible job we've done.
Mahira: So? How did the latter half come out?
Milleore: Hey, no peeking, Mahira. I shouldn't have to remind you that the second half is restricted to adults only.
Mahira: Aww...
Milleore: It's a beautiful print job for sure. We had to really rush to get things in order, but I'm glad we managed.
Sahli Lao: Hey, look at the copyright page—
Sierokarte: Good morning, everyone. Thanks for all your hard work yesterday!
Sierokarte: Lunalu! Want to check out the finished product?
Melissabelle: Lunalu, you say? Where do you see Lunalu?
Sierokarte: Hm? Odd... I bumped into her outside and we came in together.
Lunalu: ...
Sierokarte: Ah, there you are! Hm, you're looking awfully nervous.
Sierokarte: Anyway, Lunalu! Let's make sure everything is in order before the main event begins!
Lunalu: Agh! Wait, Siero! I need to psych myself up first!
Lunalu: G-good morning. Thanks for taking care of things in my absence, everyone...
Mahira: Good morning to you too. Are you feeling okay?
Lunalu: Yeah, I feel great. Sorry for all the trouble last night...
Lunalu: Hm? Mahira, you're not talking like a gorilla anymore. And Melissa, your hair...
Milleore: They returned to normal this morning. Looks like all traces of the Handsome Gorilla have left our systems.
Lunalu: Yeah... You're looking much better too, Milly.
Milleore: Now that you mention it, I can actually see pretty clearly right now.
Sahli Lao: Hahah! Oh right, Lunalu. Can you look at the publication data here?
Lunalu: Eep! Th-this storybook!
Melissabelle: Mm-hm. Your work is an official publication now. Isn't it amazing?
Lunalu: ...
Lunalu: It's like I'm living a dream...
Lunalu: So what is it you were saying, Lao?
Sahli Lao: Oh, I was wondering about the author name over here.
Sierokarte: Hm... "CtK4Life," it reads.
Lunalu: Yes, that name is fine. I came up with it myself at the very end.
Lunalu: It represents the hard work that each and every one of us put into it. I couldn't have done this alone.
Lunalu: I guess you could call it our group name. The "CtK" stands for "Citizens of the Kotatsu"...
Melissabelle: I really like the sound of it. Thanks, Lunalu.
Mahira: I'm so proud to be a fellow citizen... Thank you for keeping us all in mind.
Milleore: Haha, it's almost like we're partners in crime. And I don't mind a bit.
Sahli Lao: I don't know what to say! Ah, to think that my name will go down in the history of illustrated storybooks...
Sierokarte: Hahaha! The event's going to start any moment now!
Lunalu: Okay, everyone... Let's give it our all today!
