Chapter 15

This is the fourteenth chapter in the Heaven's Design Team manga series.

## Plot

Ueda walks in on the design team to find the whole room transformed to look like the savannah. The team is scattered about the ground wearing prison-striped uniforms. Ueda wonders if the team is collaborating on a piece of art. Shimoda corrects her by stating that they are playing hide and seek. He then tells Tsuchiya that the striped horse may not work. Tsuchiya, who was standing on a striped horse, argues that just because Ueda can see them doesn't mean that other animals can.

The team does a test with Kanamori wearing glasses designed to allow her to see like a lion. However, it proves to be a failure. Confused, Ueda asks what is going on. Meido explains that the team is trying to figure out the advantages of having stripes. When the team was at the island villa, Kimura was showing off some of the features of his rejected hot-pot animal. God then sends a message asking for an animal with some of those features. Thus the team came up with the zebra moray eel, which has received divine approval. After that, God asked for more animals with stripey patterns. So far the team hasn't figured out any advantages.

Unabara points out one advantage. The black and white areas could create different airflows, thus helping keep the body cool. Although he doesn't feel very cool at the moment. That and he is stuck on his latest assignment from God- a "seemingly carnivorous herbivore." Kimura offers one of his blueprints to look at while Mizushima suggests Unabara takes a break. However, Unabara welcomes the distraction and thinks about making his animal striped too.

Suddenly he gets an idea. For his animal to survive, he designs it to live in an environment with high altitudes and snowy conditions. He also equips it with no need for hibernation and the need to change its coat between seasons. He comes up with a new bear species called the giant panda, which immediately receives divine approval from God. Everyone believes this will fulfill God's request for striped animals.

Suddenly, the panda starts acting strange. Its eyes turn white, and then it starts crawling across the ground towards the team. After checking the proposal, Shimoda realizes that the blueprints for the hot-pot animal got mixed in with the panda. Kimura explains how he based the hot-pot animal on the starfish, which is a carnivore with no brain. As a result, the panda is now behaving like a starfish.

In an attempt to remove it, Kimura tries to pick up the panda. But he only manages to rip off a clump of fur, which then turns into more pandas due to the starfish's ability to regenerate. The team is buried in a sea of pandas within minutes. Thinking quickly, Tsuchiya brings out some tsetse flies to put the pandas to sleep. Because the panda's stripes are so thick, the flies go for them and leave the team alone.

Later on, the team is cleaning up the pandas. Thanks to the flies, the team was able to find another advantage to having stripes. As such, Tsuchiya's striped horse is approved, and the Zebra is born. Both Tsuchiya and Mizushima celebrate while Unabara laments on how well the flies' sleeping disease worked. Ueda points out it was because she cursed them. Unabara asks if angels were allowed to do that, when suddenly a message comes in from God, announcing that Ueda reports to Hell. A bolt of lightning comes down and strikes Ueda, making her disappear. The team is left shocked at this development.
