Chapter 11

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

## Plot

Shimoda walks into the design department to greet everyone and ask how their work is progressing. He finds the team scattered about the room in a slump, except for Tsuchiya who is helping Higuchi repair her lab. Kanamori comes by and Shimoda asks if everything is alright. She explains that the team is going through a creative block due to some complicated requests sent by God. Just then a new request comes in for Kanamori- to make a horse fly. Everyone is shocked, especially Tsuchiya.

Shimoda explains that God chose Kanamori because of the dragon idea that she and Kimura had before. Kanamori is unsure about taking on a project that would normally be Tsuchiya's specialty. Intrigued to see what she comes up with, Tsuchiya wishes her luck and gets back to helping Higuchi. Shimoda wishes he could help and looks at the other designers as they all appear to be stressed out.

God then sends another message, telling Kanamori that he is giving her complete freedom on her project. Shimoda thinks it is a sign that God has faith in her. But she rebuffs his claim, saying that God will only decide what he wants when he sees it finished. She starts with her first draft, a pegasus with all its flaws fixed. But it is rejected immediately after being sent. God tells her that he wants to see something more "outside the box and to let her imagination shine," which infuriates Kanamori.

Kanamori's next draft is similar to the previous, but with a more dark, skeletal appearance. After sending it to God, She gets another response. This time saying that the animal doesn't have to look like a horse and that it can be smaller. Kanamori is again furious that God didn't mention this before and storms off to start again. Worried about the mentality of the design team, Shimoda asks God to ease up and be more straightforward with his response. God agrees to this.

Two hours later, Kanamori returns with her third draft. A tiny animal with a fairytale appearance to it. Hoping this would be the final draft, she has Shimoda send it to God, and immediately gets a response back. Shimoda nervously tells her that God Liked the evil-looking version from before and asked Kanamori to keep the design "radial," and the colors "subdued." Kanamori is confused by God's sudden use of industrial language when Shimoda confesses his conversation with God. But it appears he made it worse. Kanamori assures him that he is not to blame, proclaiming that it is God's fault.

Once again Kanamori starts a new draft, with Meido and Unabara standing by to observe (and also to relieve some stress from their work.) Reworking the fairy version, Kanamori incorporates some of the features from the evil version. She comes up with a variation of the bat species. As she explains some of the animal's features, Unabara suggests giving it echolocation to avoid bumping into obstacles. Meido suggests making blood its diet, although Kanamori is in denial about that idea. After sending it to God, Shimoda receives a message from God with divine approval. The greater horseshoe bat is born.

At that moment, Kanamori realizes that she forgot to erase a pair of extra nipples that she left in. But the design had already been approved. So she decides to leave it in to help with nursing the babies. Suddenly another animal receives divine approval. One of Unabara's drafts for a creature that runs with no legs was a success, and the lovenia heart urchin is born. Mizushima and Kimura cheer, due to sleep deprivation.
