## Plot

Tsuchiya tells Shimoda a story from many years ago…

The day starts with a white-haired angel (almost identical to Shimoda) walking into the Animal Department. He asks how the latest order from God for “a hybrid animal” is coming along when he notices a new person in the room. Upon exchanging greetings, Tsuchiya comes up and explains that the new guy is a data analyst expert helping to assist him. The angel turns around and is surprised to see Tsuchiya’s torso merged with a horse’s body. Tsuchiya explains that he is testing his design on himself.

At that moment, Tsuchiya collapses to the floor. The analyst then explains that they had been trying different combinations, all part-horse, but they had all failed. Despite their looks, Tsuchiya insists on making the animal part horse or working it in somehow. To find out why the prototypes failed, Tsuchiya decided to test the design on himself, despite protests from the others. As he tries to get up, he notices that his chest feels tight and suggests they start CPR. The angel then questions where his heart is, to which Tsuchiya replies that he has no idea. Based on the conditions, the analyst theorizes that Tsuchiya's heart is too small for the body. After suggesting that they add a bigger heart in the horse portion of the body, Tsuchiya makes the adjustments and stands back up on all four legs.

As he examines himself, the angel makes a note that Tsuchiya’s upper body is the horse’s neck. Upon hearing the comment, Tsuchiya asks for an opinion. The angel responds as to whether Tsuchiya’s clothes are positioned properly on his body. Tsuchiya then moves his clothes to the front half of the horse’s body. After the angel comments on the pants, Tsuchiya starts to feel embarrassed by the situation.

Suddenly, he collapses to the floor again. The analyst theorizes that he must have run out of energy, despite Tsuchiya’s protests that he ate a big lunch. He asks the analyst to calculate his food intake. The analyst then duplicates himself to do the calculations while he helps support Tsuchiya. Analyst #2 determines that Tsuchiya’s new body would need to consume a large number of calories daily. Another issue is that the body would need a big stomach and intestines, which would take up the whole length of the body. After discovering other flaws with the design, Tsuchiya agrees that the human/horse hybrid would not work.

Considering the dilemma, Tsuchiya asks Analyst #1 what he would do. Shocked, Analyst #1 claims that he does not know and that he is only assisting with the numbers. But Tsuchiya reassures him that he has plenty of potential and encourages him to show what he can do. The angel is impressed by Tsuchiya’s words, and after some thought, Analysts #1 and #2 agree to give it a go.

For the first design, Analyst #1 gives the presentation while Analyst #2 demonstrates by transforming into a horse's head on human legs. Analyst #1 explains that while it fixes several problems with the previous design, it has a new issue with grazing. Tsuchiya and the angel begin to have second thoughts on whether the Analysts have what it takes to impress them. Thinking quickly, Analyst #1 creates another copy of himself. All three then confer with each other and decide on a new approach.

At last, the three have a new design. Analysts #1 and #2 explain that rather than focusing on physical hybrids, they designed a new concept based on time. They explain that the animal will start as one species, then gradually turn into a new species over time (or rather the second animal will eat the first animal as they put it.) To further demonstrate, Analysts #1 and #2 turn into a horse and a wolf while Analyst #3 explains the scenario. The wolf would eat the horse and give birth to a new horse. Upon giving birth the wolf’s DNA will lie dormant until it has grown up. Then the wolf within will eat its way out. The cycle will repeat itself, thus making it a true hybrid.

Suddenly, the angel receives a message from God. To everyone’s surprise, God gives the design his divine approval. Tsuchiya congratulates the three on a job well done and advises them to design the anatomy. The three had already come up with an original concept, which turns out to be the metamorphosis of the Caterpillar into a Butterfly.

Back in the Present, Tsuchiya finishes his story to Shimoda about the origins of Insect Department. Since its establishment, the department has been going strong. Shimoda then asks who the angel with the white hair was. To his surprise, Tsuchiya proclaims that the angel was Yokota, the angel currently working in Hell. He states that people can change a lot, including himself. Recently he received another order for a “hybrid animal.” He presents his design, the Quagga, a hybrid that is the combination of a horse with a zebra. At that moment, God gives divine approval for the Quagga. Tsuchiya is pleased that a new species of horse has been added, with Shimoda commenting on how some people never change.
