The lions argue about it, while Louis feeling contempt for such an offer, tries to commit suicide, but is knocked out before being able to. Hours later, Louis wakes up frustrated and is approached by the members of the Shishigumi who had a meeting. Louis says that he opposes the idea of ​​being the boss of the Shishigumi. While the members voted, they did not come to a conclusion, so they take the action to test Louis by having him eat meat with them. Horrified Louis tries to overcome the situation.

Last night at Cherryton Academy, an herbivore student was killed and eaten. Among the members of the drama club, the herbivores' suspicions naturally turn to their carnivore classmates... The prime suspect? Legoshi, a large wolf. But he wouldn't hurt a fly—or would he? And will dwarf rabbit Haru bring out the beast in him? Or are his feelings for her... something else?

## Synopsis

In a memory, Legoshi asks Tem if the alpaca wool is different from that of a sheep. Tem proudly tells him that the alpaca wool is more delicate than sheep's wool and even gives him permission to touch his wool to check it out, which Legoshi does.

In the present, Legoshi remembers that his friendship with Tem was pretty mild. Suddenly, Legoshi feels a presence of an ominous figure attacking him with a brutal headbutt. Legoshi almost manages to dodge the attack, but before he can turn around he receives a hard stomp on the head. He realizes the one attacking him is the killer, but the pressure of the killer paralyzes him. Legoshi is knocked out by a blow from the killer. Soon, Legoshi wakes up tied and with his eyes blindfolded as he is dragged by the killer into a dark corner. Legoshi realizes that the assassin knew that he had a cold and could not use his nose, so his attack was planned. Legoshi punches the killer's hand to free himself but only manages to receive a kick in response and later hits his head against a column. He asks the killer if he is threatening him not to chase him. Legoshi tells him that he seems to be very confident about his strength, but cannot see what he is trying to prove by hitting him while he is disabled. He states that as a fellow carnivore he feels ashamed of him declares that if he plans to continue killing more herbivores in the academy then he will have to kill him first and that he will stop his murders even if it is the last thing he does. In response the killer slaps him brutally. In his mind, Legoshi apologizes to Tem for considering that their friendship was mild realizing that friendship for a carnivore to be friends with a herbivore is terribly irregular and is something that a carnivore must never forget. Feeling that he must make it up to the herbivores, Legoshi murmurs to draw the attention of the killer. He approaches to listen to Legoshi, of which he takes advantage of to put his muzzle against that of the killer (kissing him). Taking into account that he is unable to use force to discover the identity of the killer, Legoshi tries to use his sense of touch and taste to have a clue. Legosh gets a taste of the killer's saliva and this causes him to run away scared. Legoshi with all his might tries to stay conscious to memorize the taste of the killer's saliva, while lamenting that if he had known that he was going to be his first kiss, he would have kissed Haru when he had the chance.

Legoshi not knowing how to respond to Haru's feelings and wanting to hug her back, remembers the words Louis said to him "You can push yourself towards the path of light! Be a hero!", and says to himself that he is not a hero, just a self-indulgent and hormonal teenager.

Seven is back after a day's work. When she is at the entrance of Beast Apartments, the manager of the building is arguing with a police officer. When they both notice Seven's presence, the officer introduces himself as Kona, a mountain gorilla in charge of the Algema District. He explains to Seven that she should be careful because of the rise of predations done under the influence of the Bloodbone Drug that is being sold to young carnivores, because they are told it's an energy drink for carnivores. Upon hearing this, Seven thinks that Legoshi would be an easy target. She notices that he isn't back from his job and worries about him, so he decides to talk to the officer about Legoshi's condition as a carnivore with a Predation Offense. Upon hearing that, Kona becomes even more infuriated, and the manager in a tired tone scolds Seven for having said that to the officer. Kona calls a patrol and informs of Legoshi's delay, describing that he may have been under the influence of the drug. Seven worries about how all this looks bad and pleads for Legoshi to come back. Sagwan asks if Legoshi did something bad, but she yells at him no.

Meanwhile, Legoshi is returning from work when he is cornered by several carnivores who exalt him to approve a new energy drink. They take him to an alley where they try to drug Legoshi with the smell of the drug.

Determined to find the murderer with the only clue that he is a member of the drama club, Legoshi realizes that the murderer is no different from him.

Bill, confronts him and asks him if he suspects them and says that with Louis's resignation they already have many reasons to be depressed. Bill mocks Legoshi saying that he is a good representative of canine idealism but that he did not trust a wolf that fucks rabbits, which makes Legoshi furious and both have a heated discussion. Suddenly, an unknown student enters the dressing room calling the attention of everyone. In a conceited way, he remarks that they were arguing and highlights the scratches on Legoshi's arm, and then he leaves. Bill, flustered by his attitude, asks if he's a new member and completely forgets about his discussion with Legoshi.

At the drama club, the new member introduces himself as Pina, a freshman and a new member of the acting team. The girls are drawn to Pina's appearance, while the males are skeptical of his presence, revealing that he joined the club because someone asked him, but he does not know much about theater. He hopes everyone can have fun and get along. Bill interrupts saying if Sanu plans to make Pina the replacement for Louis. Pina asks if it is a matter of appearance, declaring that all the students like the drama club but that this goes badly without Louis. He remarks that the club had a bad time without a handsome and distinguished actor and mentions how the eyes of carnivores lose their shine when they are consumed by their desires and instincts and that these are simply not beautiful; a comment that offends all the carnivores in the club. Pina says that his only redeeming trait is his looks since he has no "herbivorous pride" or conviction, and although he cannot replace Louis, he is popular with women which is good enough for him. Legoshi notices how all carnivores unite to have Pina as a common enemy, and he tries to remain oblivious to that situation, but nevertheless, Pina goes to him and mentions that one of his members was devoured in the spring and their star actor disappeared.
