## Synopsis

Louis tries to get rid of Legoshi who is hugging him happily. Legoshi finally calms down and asks Louis to talk to him. He accepts while all the anger he had felt when they were in the drama club returns to him, remembering how he decided to hide his overwhelming strength from others and how his expressions full of purity give him a dizzying feeling of hopelessness. Louis confirms to Legoshi that he is in conspiracy with the Shishigumi and is their boss. Legoshi takes the blame for this, claiming that it is because he had invaded their hideout previously. Louis annoyed says that he would not abandon his future for him and declares that he already knew that he managed to save Haru from the Shishigumi but did not dare to think that he gave himself up to the Shishigumi for his sake, declaring that he joined the Shishigumi of his own free will. Louis changes the subject stating that he did not like that he embraced him when he maintains intimate relations with Haru. Legoshi denied it, claiming the complicated nature of their relationship. Legoshi claims that he can get used to his training routine but that he can never understand how women think. Louis denotes that Legoshi is training and Legoshi notes how Louis is calmer. Out of nowhere, Legoshi proposes to Louis that they escape, to which Louis refuses, claiming that the Shishigumi need him and that they respect him. Legoshi tells him that they are using him, that they are going to corrupt him and that he cannot accept that. Louis responds with humor saying that he is still the good boy he always was. Louis continually tells him that in adult society they all deceive each other for their own benefit and although when he started leading the Shishigumi, his relationship was purely business but now they are close enough to move on. While several point their guns at Legoshi's head, being cornered Legoshi asks if Louis betrayed him, to which Louis replies not to take it wrong, and he just wants to show him a taste of reality. Louis gets up and reveals that he will never be able to return since he was corrupted long ago. The Shishigumi tell him that the enemies always lower their guard because their boss is a herbivore, making their work easier and for many livestock herbivores to place their hopes in them, feeling safe that an herbivore is in charge of their sellers. Louis declares that it is something vicious but that he must do what is necessary to fulfill his beliefs. Even so, Louis tells Legoshi that he can push himself into the path of light, to be a hero and to improve himself to become a leader of the outside world. Legoshi replies that he refuses while hitting and avoiding various members of the Shishigumi. Legoshi tells himself that he cannot do it, that he does not know anyone as determined and ambitious as Louis who wants to have more strength than anyone and has what he does not, something that the world needs - the dignity of a herbivore. He takes Louis as a shield and the Shishigumi stops attacking him. Louis tells him that he knows he is not going to hurt him and that if he wants to tell him something, to do it. Then Legooshi reveals that he knows who is to blame for the murder at the drama club, which surprises Louis. While he falls down the hill, Legoshi tells him that Cherryton Academy needs him, that he will do his best to catch the culprit, that the academy is for something important, and they need someone with Louis's strength of. Legoshi manages to get out and the Shishigumi go after him. While he escapes, Legoshi tearfully says that what the school should not forget is that no matter how low you are in the life, with enough inner strength and dignity, you can always pick yourself back up.
