Introduction[]
???
...
Whoa... This guy looks scary. He's so big and muscular...
Um...excuse me?
...Hm?
Oh! Thank you!
Huh? Thank you?
Oh! Sorry for scaring!
Gonta scary-looking. Most people not wanna talk to Gonta when meeting for first time.
So, like gentleman, Gonta say thank you! Thank you for talking to Gonta!
Um...thank you for being so polite. He looks scary, but...he doesn't seem very scary at all.
Oh...right! Gonta need to make introduction!
Ummm... Gonta's name is Gonta Gokuhara. Gonta's talent is Ultimate Entomologist.
Gonta want to become gentleman! Becoming true gentleman Gonta's goal!
Oh, so you're Gonta. That's a really cute name.
R-Really? Th-Thank you.
Awww, you're actually pretty nice. Silly me for being so scared at first.
Oh... Gonta scary-looking, huh?
Oh, sorry... That's not what I...
No, is okay. Gonta used to it. Gonta called scary since he was kid.
Since you were a kid, huh?
Kid Gonta bigger than other kids. Other kids scared of Gonta... So kid Gonta play alone. That how Gonta come to like bugs. But...when Gonta really focus, it easy to lose track... One day, Gonta go to forest to find bugs. End up lost...
That sounds rough... Were they able to find you right away?
Yeah... Took ten years, though.
Ten years!?
But Gonta fine. New family took care of Gonta.
I-I see... I'm glad they were nice people.
Oh...not people. Wolves.
Wolves!?
But they really nice. Cuz of forest family, Gonta learn to speak bug and animal.
As thanks, Gonta wanna show forest family what great gentleman Gonta is!
Um... How is becoming a gentleman going to thank them for that?
This place strange, huh? Lots of plants, but no bugs.
...Wait, really? I suppose it's understandable that there are no animals, but no insects? That's...strange. Not even one bug—
You like bugs, too?
Hey, what your favorite bug!? What you like about them!?
Ah, n-no, I wasn't saying that I *like* bugs or anything...
Then, you...hate bugs?
...What?
Y-You...hate bugs!?
U-Um...you don't hate bugs! You *love* them! Right, Shuichi?
Y-Yeah! Of course I do! I...love...bugs?
...
...Oh, okay. That good. No bad person likes bugs.
...That was scary.
Phew, yeah... I thought you were gonna die. Honestly, I can't stand bugs either, but it might be best to hide that...

With Kaede Akamatsu[]
Free Time Event 1[]
Spend time with Gonta
Kaede, you like music?
Of course! I am the Ultimate Pianist, after all!
U-Um...Gonta like music, too!
Ooh, really!? What kind of music do you like?
Bug songs! That Gonta's favorite!
What?
Gonta think Kaede probably like bug songs.
I'd rather not talk about bugs...but maybe I could talk about crickets or something.
In Gonta forest, lots of big bugs. They real good singers. Big bugs scary-looking, but make pretty songs!
I-I don't really wanna hear about bugs! I'm sorry Gonta, but I'm gonna change the subject!
O-Oh, yeah! Um, don't you think music is great for changing the mood?
Hm? Oh, yeah...
Fun music make Gonta happy, too. When no can sleep, Gonta take off clothes, play music. Then can sleep all night long.
What!? You sleep naked!?
Gonta learn to sleep naked in forest. No can sleep good in clothes.
Um...I don't think it's very gentlemanly to sleep naked.
H-Huhhhh!? R-Really?
Well, that's just how I imagine a gentleman.
Not good! Gonta want everyone to see him as gentleman! If Kaede say it not good, Gonta not do it anymore! Anything else you think ungentlemanly?
Hm...anything else ungentlemanly...
Please, tell Gonta what you think is most important to be true gentleman.
Um...
Don't talk about bugs...
Don't talk about bugs...
Huh!? Gonta no can talk about bugs!? Wh-Why!?
Because...there are some people who don't like bugs...
Y-You...hate bugs, Kaede!?
I-I like bugs! I told you before that I like them! But if you talk about bugs to people who don't like them, it might make them uncomfortable. I just think that's ungentlemanly, that's all!
...
Is Gonta mad...?
...You right. Some people do hate bugs.
Yeah, it's very, very unfortunate.
That why it important to talk about bugs! So people understand why bugs so great!
Huh? R-Really?
Gonta not just gentleman, but entomologist too! Gonta do his best to change people's minds about bugs! Like gentleman!
...
Kaede, you okay to talk some more with Gonta?
Your state of mind?
Your state of mind?
State of mind...?
When I imagine a gentleman, I see someone who's nice, earnest, and polite... To me, a gentleman is someone who sincerely has all those qualities, you know?
Yes! Gonta think so, too!
But...Gonta not know exactly...what to do...
Well, I suppose...
But Gonta can be nice to people... Gonta can be serious... Gonta doing his best... Gonta doing all he can.
Kaede, you okay to talk some more with Gonta?
Tea?
Tea?
Hm? Why tea?
J-Just because...? Whenever I imagine a gentleman, they're always drinking tea.
Oh, Gonta understand! Every gentleman Gonta know likes tea, too!
Tea must be gentleman drink! Gonta gotta learn more about it!
Huh. I feel like I led him in the wrong direction...
Kaede, you okay to talk some more with Gonta? Gonta want you to tell him when he's not being gentleman right!
Y-Yeah, sure...
I spent some time with Gonta trying to figure out what a gentleman is. But I felt like I was only bringing out more of his wild side. He still has a long way to go before he becomes a gentleman...

Free Time Event 2[]
Spend time with Gonta
Umm...Kaede!
Wh-What? Gonta looks mad! Did I do something to make him angry?
Ummm, uhhh... Y-Y-Your paw, please...!
My paw? Do I look like a dog to you?
Huh? D-Did Gonta mess up!?
I-It's okay, I'm sure this is some sort of misunderstanding... Were you asking me for my hand, Gonta?
Of course! Cuz Kaede is lady, so Gonta give you escort like true gentleman!
Oh, I see now. You meant to say, "Your hand, please."
Huh? Gonta thought he did say that...
Did Gonta use wrong word? Sorry!
Don't worry, you don't have to apologize...
U-Um... Last time Gonta spend time with Kaede, Gonta just keep talking... Gonta never escort you like gentleman. So Gonta wanna do it right today...
But Gonta very nervous... Never escort lady before...
But Gonta gentleman! So Gonta give you proper escort!
Th-Thank you...
Okay, then...y-y-your hand, m'lady!
He stuttered just now...
A-Again! Your hand, m-my lady!
Hm? What should I say to help him calm down? Well, I guess I should just take his hand for now.
Thank you very much, Gonta.
Wha—!?
A-Amazing! Kaede, you wonderful lady!
N-Not really... His eyes are practically sparkling, but I hope he doesn't expect too much from me!
Ummmm...
...
...
Gonta froze while he held my hand. Don't tell me...
Kaede, what Gonta should do next? Gonta not know...
I knew it!
Me neither...I don't know what a gentleman and a lady do at a time like this.
...Oh! Yes! Dance! We gotta dance! Ladies and gentleman have night parties! Lots of spinning and dancing!
That does sound right, but I don't think we should be doing that right now... Besides, I've never been to a social event that involved dancing.
Gonta...also never dance before...
Ummmm... Then...then...!
Between his wild hair and intense effort... Gonta looks really scary right now!
So sorry! Gonta no can think of anything! Gonta no can treat you like proper gentleman would!
U-Um, Gonta. You don't need to treat me like a gentleman would.
B-But—!
Now, now, just listen to what I have to say. Just letting you hold my hand is already making me feel very safe, okay?
...Huh?
A gentleman is always supposed to protect a lady, right? I feel like your large hands are protecting me.
Really...?
Yeah, and I think that's very gentlemanly of you.
K-Kaede...!
Thank you! Gonta so happy to be called gentleman! Your words give Gonta courage! Gonta have lots to learn... But Gonta do his best to become true gentleman!
Yeah, good luck! I'm glad I was able to help him...
After parting ways with Gonta, I returned to my room.

With Shuichi Saihara[]
Free Time Event 1[]
Spend time with Gonta
Thank you, Shuichi!
Huh? For what?
For inviting Gonta! Gonta very, very happy! This maybe first time Gonta spend free time with anyone! So Gonta will work hard! Treat Shuichi like true gentleman!
Ah, it's okay, Gonta. You don't have to be so...intense. Just talking is fine.
No, is not fine! Shuichi invited Gonta!
B-But...what should we do for fun? Think Gonta, think...
Oh, Gonta know! Come, we race!
Race?
Gonta good at running! Running full speed through forest so much fun! Plus, feel good to run like wind. Maybe nice change of pace.
He claims to be a gentleman, but now he wants to race?
...Alright, Gonta. If you want to race, let's race.
Okay! Then, let's go!
Gonta grabbed my hand and pulled me firmly, and I ran along behind him.
G-Gonta! You're running too fast! I had forgotten that Gonta was raised in the wild, of course he's athletic!
Not yet! To run like wind, gotta run way faster!
Wh-What are you talking about!? After being dragged along by Gonta, I began to trip over my feet. Exhausted, I began to stagger, and unluckily the stairs to the basement were right there...
Whoa, I'm gonna fall!
Shuichi!?
I heard Gonta shout and felt my body being pulled back.
Whoa!
*slam!*
Gonta yanked me back toward him, and when I hit his chest, we both fell over. ...Or so I thought. Gonta didn't even flinch when I hit him.
Shuichi...okay?
Ah, I'm okay...that was close. Thank you for saving me.
No thank Gonta... Gonta make Shuichi run... This all Gonta's fault... Sorry... Gonta not very fun after all...
I had fun
No, Gonta, I had fun!
Really?
Of course! It's been a long time since I've had to run that fast... It felt good, in a way. A nice change of pace.
Oh! Then, Gonta glad Shuichi had fun...
Gonta...
I'd like to do this again sometime. The next time I need another change of pace.
Why did you invite me?
Why did you invite me? Kaito looks like he'd be better at running...
Invite Kaito? You sure? Gonta not wanna make trouble...
Ah, I think...as long as you don't force him to come, it will be alright.
...
Ah, um, Gonta... I had a lot of fun, running with you.
I'd like to do this again sometime. The next time I need another change of pace.
I apologize for being so much trouble
I apologize for being so much trouble.
Why Shuichi sorry!? Gonta mess up, not Shuichi!
You're not at fault, Gonta, I was the one that tripped. Besides, it was a lot of fun to go running. A nice change of pace.
Shuichi...!
I'd like to do this again sometime. The next time I need another change of pace.
O-Okay! Then Gonta wait! Invite Gonta any time! Gonta do anything for Shuichi! Gonta protect you! Like gentleman!
Gonta is brimming with positivity. ...Gonta really is pure.
Smiling to myself at Gonta's innocence, I returned to my room.

Free Time Event 2[]
Spend time with Gonta
Thank you, Shuichi! For inviting Gonta again! There no bugs here, but Gonta enjoy Shuichi's company!
Now that you mention it... Isn't it a little strange that there are no bugs here?
Mm-hm... No matter place, should always be bugs to find. Doesn't hafta be lots of bugs, like in Gonta's forest...
You were living in that forest for ten years, right?
Yes. Forest family take care of Gonta.
That's right, you mentioned a family of wolves...
...
...Gonta? Something wrong?
Sorry. That...was a lie.
What? A lie...?
Gentlemen don't lie. Gonta know that. Gonta don't wanna lie, but... But...Gonta have to lie...for forest family... Gonta very sorry!
For your forest family?
Gonta will tell truth. Will Shuichi listen to Gonta?
Dinosaurs not go extinct... Dinosaurs became dinosaur people—Reptites. Reptites live alone, deep in forest... They raise Gonta.
R-Really... Ah, then why lie about the wolves?
They told Gonta to keep secret. Said bad things happen if humans know. Reptites and humans fought long time ago. But Reptites lost, and humans became dominant species... And Reptites not wanna fight anymore.
Ah... That's... That's quite a story...
B-But Reptites very kind! Reptites raise Gonta as their own. Teach Gonta to survive in forest.
This story is literally incredible. But this is Gonta...he wouldn't make up this story.
Ah, but forest family not Gonta's only teacher... Gonta have other interesting experiences...
Ah, another one?
Strong guy came to forest one day. To fight Gonta, he say. And strong guy just first of many.
The first of many...? They all came to fight you?
They all come to fight Gonta. In honorable, one-on-one battles. Gonta not understand why. But...they say they come to find worthy opponent.
But...Gonta not smart. Not sure if Gonta can think of cool phrase to say...
Oh! Some gentlemen talk to each other with muscles! Perfect for Gonta!
...
What do you think, Shuichi? What kinda gentleman best suits Gonta?
None of those people are gentlemen...
None of those people are gentlemen...
Huh!? Unpossible! Gonta do lots of gentleman research!
Perhaps your research was a bit misguided... All of those people are fictional, you see.
Fictional?
Ah, as in, it was made up. Like a character from a fairy tale.
I see... Gonta not know...
Where do I even begin?
Where do I even begin?
Shuichi? What wrong? Gonta bothering you!?
N-No, it's nothing like that! It's just...the "gentlemen" you described don't sound to me like real gentlemen.
I see... Gonta not know...
Imitating others doesn't seem gentlemanly
Imitating others doesn't seem gentlemanly.
Huh!? Really?
You should think about what constitutes a gentleman more carefully, Gonta. The people you're talking about are characters from fictional stories.
I see... Gonta not know... You know a lot about gentlemen, Shuichi...
What? Ah, not really...
Yes, you do! Maybe you teach Gonta how to be gentleman!
...I have a bad feeling about this.
Fighting my anxiety, I returned to my room.
Gonta's Report Card has been updated based on your experience with him.
Free Time Event 4[]
Spend time with Gonta
Shuichi! Teach Gonta how to be gentleman!
I-I told you, I wouldn't know anything about that... This interrogation has been going on for some time now. It appears that Gonta mistakenly believes I have a lot of knowledge of "gentlemen." It took a while, but I think I finally made Gonta understand...
Oh... Even Shuichi no can teach Gonta...
Y-Yeah... I feel awful... I can't let him stay down like this.
Hey, Gonta? Why are you so focused on being a gentleman?
...For forest family. Time in forest make Gonta forget human ways. People start worry about Gonta. Say Gonta not know how to socialize.
That's understandable... You were raised in the wild, after all.
Gonta rejoin human family but...Gonta not really feel accepted. Human family treat Gonta like their own, but... They not accept forest family.
Didn't accept them? What do you mean?
Gonta not know whole story... All Gonta know is, Gonta's human family very famous, very respected.
Really!? Is that so...?
So they get mad at Gonta. Say Gonta not worthy of family name. They blame Gonta's forest family. Say it all their fault.
That's awful...they should have been grateful for taking care of you for a decade...
Gonta love forest family. Forest family very important to Gonta. And Gonta love human family, too. Gonta love human mother who birth him. So Gonta want human family to accept forest family... So Gonta think, become true gentleman! Then human family accept forest family!
And...forest family also be proud of Gonta! See Gonta become such great gentleman! Gonta not smart, but he think about this a lot! Is good idea, right Shuichi?
That sounds like a great idea!
That sounds like a great idea!
Thanks! Gonta feel more confident if Shuichi approve! Gonta gonna work hard to become true gentleman!
But...even if Gonta does become a gentleman, his forest family would still...
Ah... you think so...?
Ah...you think so...?
Huh? Is bad idea?
No, it's not "bad"... It's just that becoming a gentleman takes quite some time...
Gonta not care how long it take! Gonta serious... No matter how long it take, no matter how hard, Gonta gonna become gentleman!
Gonta might never be able to become a gentleman, but I'd never tell him that...
But...even if Gonta does become a gentleman, his forest family would still...
Perhaps a different way would be better?
Perhaps a different way would be better?
Different way? Umm... what kinda different way?
Ah, well, um... Perhaps a respectable career?
Even with respectable career... Gonta still must be respectable person.
...That's true. Perhaps that's what his family wanted. Yes, exactly right.
But...even if Gonta does become a gentleman, his forest family would still... No, I shouldn't put doubts in his head. He wants to do this so bad.
Gonta and I parted ways, and I returned to my room.

Free Time Event 5[]
Spend time with Gonta
I decided to spend time today talking about things with Gonta. Because Gonta is theUltimate Entomologist, I decided to ask him about his work.
Gonta, you really are impressive, you know that?
G-Gonta nothing special. Gonta just listen to what bugs say.
He's always so humble... Sure, he discovers new insect species, but he also develops cultivation methods... And he once discovered a parasitic worm that was causing disease, and was praised as a hero.
You've saved so many lives, Gonta.
Yes, but gentlemen supposed to help people. Gonta gotta work even harder and become true gentleman.
...
You know, Gonta, you say that, but... I know how truly amazing you are. I don't think you need to work so hard to be a gentleman. You're already incredible.
B-But, Shuichi! Gonta must become gentleman! For forest family!
The reason you developed your Ultimate Entomologist talent... was *because* your forest family taught you so much about insects and animals, right?
Yes, that right...
So you should be proud of that, Gonta. No matter what anyone says. Your forest family helped you develop into the talented man you are today!
That all Gonta need...?
That's plenty, Gonta. From now on... As long as you work hard as the Ultimate Entomologist, your family will accept you.
...
But...Gonta no help to anyone right now.
You are! You saved me before, remember? I almost fell down the staircase!
Oh!
Gonta...you're a more amazing person than you think you are.
Sh-Shuichi!
Thank you! Gonta eyes open now! Gonta understand! Gonta learn from you... Gonta gonna get even better at talent he got from forest family!
But...Gonta still gonna try to become gentleman.
Why...?
At first, Gonta do it for forest family. But now... Gonta just wanna be gentleman. Gonta wanna be nice, serious, refined, polite gentleman. That Gonta's goal now!
I see... Then I think that's a great goal to have.
Yeah! Gonta work hard to reach goal!
After a firm nod, Gonta's expression softened and he looked at me...
Thank you so much, Shuichi. Gonta understand a lot more cuz of you.
Gonta glad he meet Shuichi. From now on, Gonta keep you and everyone else safe...like true gentleman!
Gonta took my hand and squeezed it. And I squeezed back. ...There is a real bond here. I believe it with all my heart.
Gonta and I parted ways, and I returned to my room.
