Handsome Gorilla - Chapter 6: The Debate - Episode 4

The old man announces that he will allow the fair to continue only if Lunalu and company admit that romantic storybooks are a complete and utter disgrace. Lunalu plans to apologize at first, but the other artists exhibiting at the event exclaim that there is no need to. Arulumaya shows up with a few helpings of Handsome Gorilla Triple Attack, giving the group the burst of energy they need to convince the old man of the merits of the medium.

The board member announces the closing of the book fair in a fit of rage.

Unrest grows among those who have been following the altercation.

Elder: Hahah! Starting to panic already? Where's that cocky attitude now!

Lunalu: No...

Lunalu: You're taking this too far!

Elder: I do what I must for the arts. I will not allow the culture of the skies to stagnate.

Elder: But if you lot will admit you're wrong and apologize at once, I might consider allowing the fair to continue.

Lunalu: B-but we're not wrong...

Sierokarte: Okay, now you're just bullying us. Throwing your authority around won't change the nature of the debate.

Elder: Doesn't matter to me. Word of this ruckus may spread throughout the skies, but the masses will remember the conclusion rather than the specifics of the argument.

Elder: "Sphiria deemed illustrated storybooks inappropriate... Thus giving the committee an opportunity to review its stance on such issues." That is what will go down in history.

Lunalu: ...

Lunalu: You'll let the fair continue if we apologize?

Elder: Yes, you have my word.

Melissabelle: Lunalu! We didn't do anything wrong! Why should we have to say we're sorry?

Lunalu: I-if it'll keep the event going, sucking it up might be for the best... I mean, I don't want to cause trouble for the other artists...

Mahira: I know what you mean, but still... This is just wrong!

Lunalu: There's no other w—

Fellow Artist: Stop, Lunalu!

Lunalu: Ah, hello again...

Fellow Artist: Don't worry about us! A bunch of us got together and decided...

Fellow Artist: There's no need for you to apologize! Because there's nothing they can fault us for!

Lunalu: Y-you did that for me?

Elder: Heh... Then get packing already.

Elder: Urgh, where are the staff when I need them!

Arusha: I-I heard about everything that's been happening here... I'm Arusha, the representative in charge today.

Elder: Finally here, huh? We need to shut down this fair at once. You can start by contacting the Hall of Knowledge.

Arusha: I...

Arusha: I can't do that! No one on staff today agrees with your decision!

Elder: How dare you... Would you all prefer to be fired?

Arusha: Go right ahead! See what happens when you lay us all off!

Elder: Rgh...

Elder: Fine! You'd better be ready for a heck of a reckoning!

Elder: Listen up, everyone! Today's book fair has been canceled! Now if you can all get a move on!

Sarya: Okay, guys! It's time for our Pundam meet-up! Let's gather in the main hall.

Male Patron 1: I've been waiting all day for this! I can't wait to talk my head off about Pundam!

Male Patron 2: Me too, me too! Hey, Shopkeep, are you still...

Shopkeep: Mm-hm, no problem by me! I'll be keeping the store open until the usual closing time!

Elder: Gah! How dare you defy me!

Milleore: Don't you get it? Everyone's here today because of their love for illustrated storybooks.

Sahli Lao: You can forget all that jibber-jabber about the arts and all. We need storybooks in our lives!

Elder: Silence! You push me any further, and I'm going to have to report this directly to the king!

Arulumaya: Lunalu, are you feeling better? I brought (Captain) here after checking out of the inn.

Lunalu: Arulu, (Captain)! We're actually in a bit of hot water right now...

Arulumaya: Hm? Ah, I see what's happening.

Arulumaya: But this kind of works out okay. Here, you girls left this at the inn.

Arulumaya: The supplements from the cupboard. I think they might come in useful right now.

Sierokarte: Ooh, could that be...

Sierokarte: Handsome Gorilla Triple Attack?

Lunalu: Thank you so much! Guys, let's see if we can talk down the board member!

Melissabelle: We can use this to recover our stamina at once and knock some sense into the old coot.

Mahira: Right! His view of the world is much too old-fashioned.

Milleore: Yeah, he's still stuck in the past. Everything the man said goes against the spirit of creativity.

Sahli Lao: I'll fight for our rights no matter what it takes! Let's make this the debate to end all debates!

Elder: Oh-ho. You think you have what it takes to convince me?

Elder: Humph, you haughty little missies... Fine! I'll take you all on!

Lunalu: Everyone ready? Go fast, go furious, go wild!

???: ...

???: Hoo-hoo-ooga-booga!
