WEBVTT

01:42.039 --> 01:46.961
UPON A NEST OF DRIED NOODLES

01:47.044 --> 01:49.129
DRAMA CLUB

01:49.213 --> 01:50.047
See ya.

01:50.130 --> 01:52.216
Thanks for finishing up, Bill!

01:53.175 --> 01:55.386
No problem. I got this!

01:56.053 --> 01:58.889
Okay, first things first.

01:58.973 --> 02:02.143
Let's put some fuel in the tank.

02:11.652 --> 02:12.820
<i>No freaking way...</i>

02:14.655 --> 02:16.532
<i>Is it dead?</i>

02:18.909 --> 02:22.913
<i>Would I get canceled for eating this?</i>

02:22.997 --> 02:25.958
<i>Bill the Bengal tiger,
think long and hard about this.</i>

02:26.667 --> 02:30.421
<i>Devouring is illegal
for carnivores like us,</i>

02:30.504 --> 02:34.425
<i>so we eat eggs and drink milk
to get the protein we need, right?</i>

02:34.508 --> 02:36.927
<i>So does this count?</i>

02:37.011 --> 02:40.139
<i>Is eating this okay? Or not?</i>

02:40.973 --> 02:45.519
<i>It's probably gonna die regardless.</i>

02:46.103 --> 02:47.313
<i>Plus...</i>

02:48.314 --> 02:50.941
<i>It's lookin' mighty tasty right now.</i>

02:51.901 --> 02:56.238
Honestly, I don't care if you drank
animal blood to liven up.

02:57.156 --> 03:01.201
<i>Forgive me, Louis.
These are my true colors.</i>

03:01.285 --> 03:03.787
<i>Giving in to little temptations,</i>

03:03.871 --> 03:07.875
<i>making excuses up and down,
half-assing my way through everything...</i>

03:07.958 --> 03:11.545
<i>I'm a big, shitty cat
and I love, love, love meat!</i>

03:11.629 --> 03:12.755
You're going to eat that?

03:15.299 --> 03:16.759
I've never seen that before.

03:17.509 --> 03:20.429
But I've heard about
this happening sometimes.

03:20.512 --> 03:22.890
You! I thought you went home?

03:22.973 --> 03:25.434
Oh, I see what's going on.

03:25.517 --> 03:29.688
You wanted to eat this in secret
without anyone finding out.

03:29.772 --> 03:33.359
This is excellent research
for my carnivore role in the play.

03:34.068 --> 03:37.363
Go ahead, chow down.
Just pretend I'm not here.

03:37.446 --> 03:39.323
Allow me to study you.

03:40.199 --> 03:41.617
Really, though.

03:42.201 --> 03:43.953
Our society is so unfair, isn't it?

03:44.787 --> 03:49.583
Riz is still in juvenile detention
for devouring a classmate.

03:49.667 --> 03:53.545
Yet here you are, Bill.
Even if you devour this little one,

03:53.629 --> 03:56.382
you'll still get to live
a peaceful school life.

03:56.465 --> 03:58.133
I ain't gonna eat this!

03:58.217 --> 04:01.929
Oh, you're not?
Then, what do you intend to do?

04:02.012 --> 04:03.722
I'm gonna rescue it, of course!

04:03.806 --> 04:07.726
Really? You carnivores sure are complex.

04:07.810 --> 04:09.270
I'm learning a ton.

04:09.353 --> 04:13.023
I thought you were
a much simpler creature, Bill.

04:13.107 --> 04:14.525
Watch it, bro!

04:17.319 --> 04:19.154
It's quivering.

04:26.287 --> 04:28.747
Feeling warm now, buddy?

04:29.957 --> 04:32.918
The parent's body temperature should be...

04:34.503 --> 04:35.379
It's on fire!

04:41.802 --> 04:43.470
I thought you were going to grill it up.

04:43.554 --> 04:45.055
No way in hell.

04:45.139 --> 04:47.558
So, what do I feed this critter?

04:47.641 --> 04:49.310
Let's see.

04:49.393 --> 04:52.187
I'll look up what baby chicks eat...

04:53.230 --> 04:54.857
A FEW DAYS LATER

04:54.940 --> 04:56.275
I'm fed up.

04:56.358 --> 04:59.153
I really wish they'd give it a rest.

04:59.236 --> 05:01.238
Who? Juno and Pina?

05:01.322 --> 05:05.659
The tension between those two
makes it crazy awkward for all of us.

05:05.743 --> 05:08.787
Do you think
they'll get over it eventually?

05:08.871 --> 05:11.165
If they don't, we'll be in trouble.

05:14.918 --> 05:16.920
Whoops. My bad, my bad.

05:17.004 --> 05:20.257
Yo! If you break our spotlights,
you'll have hell to pay!

05:20.341 --> 05:22.176
Who cares if they break?

05:22.259 --> 05:24.845
The principal will just buy you new ones.

05:24.928 --> 05:26.347
What?

05:26.430 --> 05:29.308
The favoritism's so obvious
it's almost funny, huh?

05:29.391 --> 05:31.643
Even after all the messes you've made,

05:31.727 --> 05:36.065
your club is the only one allowed
to put carnivores and herbivores together?

05:36.148 --> 05:38.984
I bet you're just waiting for the chance
to eat a fellow club member.

05:39.068 --> 05:40.361
Wanna say that again?!

05:40.444 --> 05:42.905
- I'll shove my fist so far up your ass--
- Stop.

05:47.493 --> 05:50.746
Oh, the club president
gracing us with his presence?

05:52.998 --> 05:54.458
Watch yourselves.

05:58.504 --> 05:59.463
Way too freaky.

05:59.546 --> 06:00.923
Let's get outta here.

06:01.006 --> 06:02.758
Yeah, we'll watch ourselves...

06:04.384 --> 06:08.097
If we cause another incident,
all our hard work goes down the drain.

06:08.180 --> 06:09.640
I know, but...

06:09.723 --> 06:12.810
Get these to the clubroom, chop-chop.

06:12.893 --> 06:16.438
Wait! You're the strongest.
Lend us a paw, would you?

06:17.106 --> 06:19.233
I have some business to attend to.

06:21.151 --> 06:23.028
He's acting weird, don't you think?

06:23.112 --> 06:26.740
He got scolded multiple times
for spacing out in class.

06:26.824 --> 06:28.367
He's never in his dorm either.

06:28.450 --> 06:30.869
Probably canoodling with a female.

06:30.953 --> 06:32.204
Who is?

06:33.288 --> 06:36.333
I noticed the fight
brewing from over there,

06:36.917 --> 06:38.627
so I came for some entertainment.

06:38.710 --> 06:40.629
We ain't your entertainment.

06:40.712 --> 06:41.713
So, what's with him?

06:42.548 --> 06:45.008
He's acting different than usual.

06:45.092 --> 06:48.220
But he's not the type
to have a teenage crisis.

07:01.567 --> 07:04.236
Dang, nothing here.

07:10.868 --> 07:14.079
After all that digging, this is all I got.

07:14.163 --> 07:16.665
Here ya go, bud. Make it count.

07:21.378 --> 07:23.881
That's not enough, is it?

07:23.964 --> 07:25.591
You can feed it rice, too.

07:26.216 --> 07:27.342
You again?

07:27.426 --> 07:30.304
Indeed. I asked Aoba for some advice.

07:30.387 --> 07:32.389
You told Aoba about this?

07:32.473 --> 07:35.058
I didn't tell him about the chick.

07:35.726 --> 07:40.439
I said I wanted advice
in case I ever got a bird pregnant.

07:40.522 --> 07:42.900
Oh, okay, thanks.

07:47.613 --> 07:49.865
Isn't this great, Bill?

07:50.824 --> 07:51.742
What is?

07:51.825 --> 07:53.410
You saved its life.

07:53.911 --> 07:54.953
Aren't you happy?

07:55.037 --> 07:57.289
Hell yeah, I'm happy.

07:57.873 --> 07:58.916
But...

07:58.999 --> 08:00.083
But what?

08:01.001 --> 08:03.378
Nah, never mind.

08:05.047 --> 08:06.048
Get outta here already.

08:06.131 --> 08:07.841
Didn't I tell you?

08:07.925 --> 08:11.053
I'm observing you
so I can hone my skills onstage.

08:11.845 --> 08:14.348
You're surprisingly nice sometimes, huh?

08:14.431 --> 08:16.517
Me? Not really.

08:16.600 --> 08:20.395
Even though I'm afraid
of my own self sometimes,

08:20.479 --> 08:22.981
this critter ain't scared of me at all.

08:23.565 --> 08:26.276
I was gonna eat you, buddy.

08:36.203 --> 08:37.913
Let's see here.

08:47.881 --> 08:49.925
The east side is no good.

08:50.509 --> 08:52.094
Bad harvest this year.

08:52.177 --> 08:55.722
That's no excuse
to lower our expectations for quality.

08:56.974 --> 09:01.103
By the way, did the Shishi-Gumi
come to pay for that Melda yet?

09:01.186 --> 09:05.857
Supposedly, dealing with the aftermath
of the masquerade has them low on funds.

09:05.941 --> 09:10.320
Working with those lions,
I thought we'd make a fortune.

09:10.404 --> 09:12.990
The problem seems to be their leader.

09:13.073 --> 09:16.577
On that note,
I heard something about him going missing.

09:18.078 --> 09:22.708
There's a reason I've been doing
all this research on mixes, you know.

09:22.791 --> 09:27.546
I'd like that Melon
to draw a line in the sand for us.

09:30.215 --> 09:34.845
The initial victim is an herbivore.
The culprit is a carnivore.

09:34.928 --> 09:37.598
That culprit became the second victim.

09:39.391 --> 09:42.019
Which brings us to this week's incident.

09:42.603 --> 09:47.649
The carnivorous criminal
became the second victim. Same pattern.

09:47.733 --> 09:51.820
Some kind of vigilante hero,
punishing animals for devouring?

09:51.903 --> 09:57.784
Well, I wonder if these criminals
even knew they would devour someone.

09:59.119 --> 10:01.705
The incident this morning was identical.

10:04.541 --> 10:06.418
This was at the back door.

10:06.501 --> 10:08.253
Kines?

10:09.046 --> 10:12.007
It's been seized and taken off the market.

10:13.133 --> 10:15.677
Where do they keep getting it?

10:15.761 --> 10:17.721
As for the victim--

10:21.892 --> 10:24.686
This is why I hate using the mouse.

10:31.985 --> 10:32.944
Seven!

10:35.405 --> 10:38.700
Legoshi? You came here to check on me?

10:38.784 --> 10:41.286
I contacted him.

10:41.370 --> 10:43.622
The more the merrier, yes?

10:44.373 --> 10:46.041
Are you okay? I mean...

10:47.084 --> 10:49.586
I just happened to stumble upon it.

10:50.128 --> 10:53.465
That gruesome scene
when I got to the store this morning...

10:54.257 --> 10:56.510
Seeing that made me faint.

10:57.844 --> 11:00.305
So you're not injured or anything...

11:00.389 --> 11:02.599
Not at all. I'm fine.

11:02.683 --> 11:04.768
That's a relief.

11:08.689 --> 11:10.524
It's a weird case.

11:10.607 --> 11:14.695
The one who devoured the staff member
was also killed.

11:14.778 --> 11:17.906
And they have yet to capture their killer.

11:17.989 --> 11:21.827
So, you're saying
it's two separate crimes?

11:21.910 --> 11:25.997
Apparently, the staff member's partner
is the one who committed the devouring.

11:26.081 --> 11:28.333
They were an interspecies couple.

11:29.960 --> 11:34.131
There've been so many cases of devouring
between interspecies couples lately.

11:35.590 --> 11:36.716
With all these crimes,

11:36.800 --> 11:41.930
I can't help but think how dangerous
interspecies relationships can be.

11:42.013 --> 11:45.142
But every couple
has its problems, I guess.

11:45.225 --> 11:47.018
Yeah, right.

11:47.102 --> 11:50.730
But I'm totally fine,
so you can wipe away that frown.

11:51.398 --> 11:55.986
Okay, Seven. But remember,
you don't have to act okay if you're not.

11:56.069 --> 12:00.991
Okay. You don't seem like a carnivore
when you say things like that, Legoshi.

12:02.742 --> 12:04.202
Thanks for visiting.

12:04.286 --> 12:06.246
Of course.

12:08.498 --> 12:11.001
I gotta get back to work.
I'm glad you're okay.

12:11.084 --> 12:13.503
If anything happens,
please give me a call.

12:13.587 --> 12:14.754
Bye.

12:16.715 --> 12:20.218
Do you think he got shy?

12:24.097 --> 12:26.016
Sorry for making you come with me.

12:26.099 --> 12:27.726
Is this guy really that cool?

12:27.809 --> 12:28.935
I can't even!

12:29.019 --> 12:31.813
When I saw the news,
I was like, "That's him!"

12:31.897 --> 12:34.774
He's cool, but he also has a cute side.
The full package!

12:34.858 --> 12:36.359
Oh, over there.

12:37.068 --> 12:39.488
So, what sport does he play?

12:40.655 --> 12:43.450
Well, he's not an athlete...

12:44.409 --> 12:45.911
Look! There he is!

12:50.207 --> 12:54.211
All right. Today's guest
is our Zoolympic bid ambassador.

12:54.294 --> 12:58.924
Our generation's very own prince,
the heir to the Horns Conglomerate,

12:59.007 --> 13:00.509
Louis the red deer!

13:00.592 --> 13:02.427
Thank you for having me.

13:02.511 --> 13:07.599
Another week, another amazing guest
whose words will empower us!

13:07.682 --> 13:11.019
- Ready, go! Empower!
<i>- Empower!</i>

13:11.102 --> 13:15.857
<i>I had no idea.
This is what he's been up to?</i>

13:16.441 --> 13:20.612
<i>He really is drifting away.
I guess he's always been that way, though.</i>

13:21.363 --> 13:26.368
First, to be frank. Are you the ambassador
because your family is a major sponsor?

13:26.451 --> 13:27.786
Definitely not.

13:27.869 --> 13:31.248
Just as we can't choose
which species we're born as,

13:31.331 --> 13:33.542
we can't choose our families, either.

13:34.125 --> 13:37.504
It's only a coincidence
that my father is the Horns chairman.

13:39.673 --> 13:42.300
Crazy, huh? Look at those eyelashes...

13:42.384 --> 13:44.135
Yeah...

13:44.219 --> 13:47.264
I hear you had a fan club in high school.

13:47.347 --> 13:48.932
Where did you hear that?

13:49.015 --> 13:53.311
Tons of girls from all species, I'm sure.
Do you like carnivore girls? Be honest!

13:53.395 --> 13:56.523
I see some carnivore ladies here today.

13:57.023 --> 14:00.819
Species is but a single element
of one's identity.

14:00.902 --> 14:04.281
It doesn't matter
if you're a carnivore or herbivore.

14:04.364 --> 14:09.035
What's important is the unique nature
of how each individual lives their life.

14:10.620 --> 14:15.667
Fabulous, but let's dive
a little deeper, shall we?

14:15.750 --> 14:18.670
Let's take a look at this email...

14:18.753 --> 14:22.424
"I have a crush on a carnivore,
but I can't tell anyone."

14:22.507 --> 14:24.467
"Do you have any advice, Louis?"

14:29.556 --> 14:30.891
My friend...

14:30.974 --> 14:32.100
What?

14:32.183 --> 14:34.102
My friend had the same concern.

14:34.895 --> 14:40.233
That living for themselves would burden
their family and the people around them.

14:42.110 --> 14:45.739
And they didn't know
if their desires were worth--

14:47.824 --> 14:49.284
Sorry! Finger slipped.

14:50.410 --> 14:52.454
Well, that's all I have to say.

14:52.537 --> 14:55.707
Okey dokey!
Let's move on to those requests.

14:58.835 --> 15:00.545
Okay, say cheese.

15:03.048 --> 15:04.466
Thank you very much.

15:04.549 --> 15:05.634
The pleasure is mine.

15:06.718 --> 15:09.179
I can't believe you two were friends.

15:09.262 --> 15:10.096
Since when?

15:10.180 --> 15:11.598
Okay, see ya. We gotta go.

15:11.681 --> 15:12.807
Leaving already?

15:12.891 --> 15:15.101
Yeah, Lisa and I are going shopping.

15:15.185 --> 15:17.312
- We can go another time.
- What?

15:17.395 --> 15:19.981
Why don't you two savor this reunion?

15:20.065 --> 15:21.816
- But...
- You two should catch up.

15:21.900 --> 15:24.319
No, it's fine.
I thought you wanted to look at hats?

15:24.402 --> 15:27.948
Don't worry about it.
Bye now, I'll see you at school.

15:28.031 --> 15:30.408
But... Okay, sorry!

15:32.327 --> 15:35.330
Well, this is new.
You actually have friends now.

15:35.413 --> 15:38.833
That's rude. I had friends
in elementary school too, you know.

15:38.917 --> 15:40.418
Is that something to brag about?

15:42.003 --> 15:45.966
<i>Seeing her again
might be just what I need right now.</i>

15:46.758 --> 15:52.180
<i>Haru has always been the only one
I didn't have to give a performance to.</i>

15:52.263 --> 15:54.057
Well, I'd better get going.

15:55.308 --> 15:57.686
My homework is crazy, for real. Gotta run.

15:57.769 --> 15:59.187
I'll go with you.

16:04.484 --> 16:05.443
ODD SOUL FESTIVAL

16:05.527 --> 16:07.529
Isn't your house the other way?

16:07.612 --> 16:09.114
I'll get there eventually.

16:10.699 --> 16:13.618
Get this, Legoshi's apartment
is nowhere near here,

16:13.702 --> 16:15.286
but he uses this bus sometimes.

16:15.370 --> 16:17.205
He's a total stalker.

16:17.288 --> 16:19.666
He's a weirdo, isn't he?

16:20.333 --> 16:21.876
That's why I like him.

16:22.752 --> 16:23.753
Right.

16:24.337 --> 16:26.756
<i>What a strange feeling.</i>

16:27.257 --> 16:32.971
<i>Before, with her white fur and pure face,
she looked as if she might vanish anytime.</i>

16:33.555 --> 16:37.225
<i>Her aura is different now.
I see a clearly-defined outline.</i>

16:39.519 --> 16:42.522
I know we'll never date again,

16:43.106 --> 16:45.483
but I like this new Haru better.

16:47.027 --> 16:49.738
Really? Don't you think
I'm sort of lame now?

16:49.821 --> 16:50.697
How so?

16:50.780 --> 16:55.618
Well, I'm actually taking
better care of myself now.

16:55.702 --> 16:57.495
I used to make decisions on a whim.

16:57.579 --> 17:02.375
Even in dangerous situations,
I'd just wing it and go with the flow.

17:02.459 --> 17:07.172
But nowadays, I find myself thinking
about whether it'd worry Legoshi.

17:07.255 --> 17:10.759
I suppose the old Haru
wouldn't have done that.

17:10.842 --> 17:15.138
But changing for the boy I like...
That's so lame.

17:15.221 --> 17:18.725
The fact that you can change
means your love is strong, right?

17:18.808 --> 17:21.561
That's exactly what I can't stand.

17:21.644 --> 17:24.522
And now I'm caught in another mess...

17:25.273 --> 17:29.694
Yeah, I had corn soup for lunch.

17:29.778 --> 17:31.321
So, ya know...

17:37.744 --> 17:40.914
I thought you'd never see me again.

17:40.997 --> 17:46.169
Regardless, I got fired,
so I guess this will be our final chat.

17:46.252 --> 17:49.089
Oh, really? That's disappointing.

17:50.715 --> 17:53.259
You don't look disappointed at all.

17:53.343 --> 17:56.471
So, Professor...

17:56.554 --> 17:59.390
are you really
a carnivore and herbivore mix?

18:00.850 --> 18:02.894
That's a hard question to answer.

18:02.977 --> 18:07.482
Usually when animals ask me that,
they do so with a furrowed brow.

18:08.733 --> 18:12.487
So even mixed babies
can grow big and strong like you?

18:12.570 --> 18:14.781
That's so good to know!

18:17.283 --> 18:18.576
It made me happy.

18:18.660 --> 18:23.665
'Cause if Legoshi and I have kids someday,
now I know it'll be okay, even as a mix.

18:23.748 --> 18:27.335
Hold on a second.
A gazelle and leopard mix?

18:27.418 --> 18:30.755
Yeah, his horns
are kinda shaped like this...

18:30.839 --> 18:32.006
Wait, that guy...

18:32.090 --> 18:34.175
But then he said...

18:36.886 --> 18:41.266
It's strange to hear someone
celebrate my existence.

18:41.349 --> 18:43.893
You're a strange little one.

18:43.977 --> 18:48.106
What do you mean? That's normal.
You celebrate your birthday, don't you?

18:49.149 --> 18:50.525
Nope.

18:51.067 --> 18:53.153
Nobody's ever celebrated my birthday.

18:54.237 --> 18:56.281
Because it's the same day as a festival.

18:56.364 --> 18:57.198
Oh, really?

18:57.282 --> 19:01.035
Funny, isn't it? The Odd Soul Festival.

19:01.828 --> 19:07.458
A day where we celebrate herbivores
who weren't devoured by carnivores.

19:07.542 --> 19:11.045
And that's the day
a mix like myself was born.

19:11.129 --> 19:13.673
So your birthday's coming up soon?

19:13.756 --> 19:17.010
Is there something you want?
You should give yourself a present!

19:19.179 --> 19:20.638
You're absolutely right.

19:23.516 --> 19:25.643
What I really want is...

19:25.727 --> 19:27.812
Tell me. What is it?

19:29.439 --> 19:30.273
What?

19:30.356 --> 19:33.443
He said he wants to eat your flesh?!

19:33.985 --> 19:34.986
BUS STOPPING

19:35.570 --> 19:37.614
What did you tell him?

19:37.697 --> 19:38.531
I said okay.

19:38.615 --> 19:40.033
What?!

19:40.116 --> 19:42.827
I just kinda went along with it...

19:46.206 --> 19:48.291
Pinky swear?

19:53.171 --> 19:54.923
Okay, okay...

19:56.674 --> 19:59.260
You're not a damn chocolate bar!

20:01.554 --> 20:06.226
Meanie. I'm worth more than chocolate.
At least compare me to an ice cream bar.

20:06.976 --> 20:10.313
I'm fine being a woman
who gives more than she receives.

20:10.396 --> 20:12.106
Herbivores are born to be eaten.

20:13.066 --> 20:17.195
I can't believe I'm the one
you're venting your premarital doubts to.

20:21.199 --> 20:25.703
You're not an ice cream bar, or chocolate,
or an herbivore, or somebody's prey.

20:26.287 --> 20:28.665
You're Haru. Just be yourself.

20:29.207 --> 20:32.877
You can complain, cry,
or get depressed all you want.

20:32.961 --> 20:35.964
But you have to survive.
Just stay alive, damn it!

20:39.717 --> 20:41.511
Don't boss me around.

20:41.594 --> 20:42.637
Bye.

20:42.720 --> 20:44.264
Wait!

20:44.347 --> 20:45.390
Haru!

20:50.561 --> 20:54.774
I found some blueberries
growing behind the fountain, so I...

20:58.653 --> 21:01.447
Bill? What's the matter?

21:02.824 --> 21:07.078
Its body went cold.
Even though it was just fine before...

21:09.622 --> 21:10.999
Sorry, bud.

21:23.052 --> 21:27.390
They shut off the outside breakers
for electrical maintenance.

21:29.183 --> 21:33.646
If it was going to die anyway,
maybe you should've eaten it after all.

21:40.653 --> 21:41.738
Sorry.

21:49.495 --> 21:54.584
<i>Both eating and loving
are supposed to make you happy.</i>

21:56.210 --> 22:01.049
<i>But combine the two,
and someone will always get hurt.</i>

23:37.603 --> 23:41.941
