01x01 - The Full Moon chooses which Beast to illuminate

[bunniefuu]

That day, I encountered

a small rabbit and my own instincts.

Are you seriously going to eat
your classmate?

We took classes together.

Are we nothing but food to you carnivores?

LECTURE OVERVIEW
MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN SPECIES

You carnivores are all monsters!

Extra!

Extra here!

Devoured?

Did you hear?
It was Tem from the drama club.

No way.

Els, he was in your club.

We rehearsed together yesterday.

The k*ller has to be
one of the carnivorous students.

We don't know if it was a student yet.

But it definitely was a carnivore.

I'm sorry to say this,
but it's pretty ironic

that a drama student became the prey.

The drama club was known
for its friendship

between carnivores and herbivores.

Be careful, Els.

Isn't there a gray wolf in the club?

Gosh, I lost my appetite.

Me, too.

HERBIVORES
TODAY'S SPECIAL: SEAFOOD VEGGIE PLATE

This is bad.

Yeah. We have our show in two weeks.

We need to find a replacement for Tem.

Yeah.

But should we really be performing
when one of our members just died?

I still can't believe it.

Yeah.

Where are Rouis and the seniors?

They're having a club meeting.

What's wrong, Els?

Well...

Is everyone here?

Gather around.

SHOW NOT YOUR FANGS BUT YOUR HEART

I'm sure you already know,

but a horrible incident happened
at school this morning.

Tem, the actor...

President!

This is the only place
Tem was in contact with the carnivores.

And?

Are you suspecting us?

Maybe someone got jealous of him
for getting a good role.

How dare you say that!

Herbivores are always like this.

Wanna start a fight?

-I can't open these walnuts.
-If a carnivore hurts a herbivore...

-Where's Legoshi?
-...they would be expelled.

-Hey.
-Ridiculous!

-Legoshi isn't a nutcracker.
-You're not even worth using my fangs.

-Stop it!
-You're right.

-You're both stripes.
-Legoshi isn't here.

Where has he gone?

I'm scared.

Those were eyes looking at prey.

That wolf's telling me that I'm next.

You're overthinking.

Legoshi's always been a bit weird.

You can come see me anytime.

We prosimians are always fun and cheerful.

Thank you.

Good night.

Good night.

Stay away.

You pretend to be our friend,
but once you're hungry, we're your food?

Don't look down on us!

Tem and I are much more...

Here.

It's a love letter. For you.

I waited so we could be alone.

TO ELS, FROM TEM

You wanted to give me this?

Yeah.

I knew Tem couldn't give it to you.

Sorry.

Maybe I shouldn't have done this.

It's okay. Thank you.

Well, see you tomorrow.

Hey.

I said something really mean earlier.

You're a kind wolf.

I'll take it back tomorrow.

So forgive me, please?

You don't need to take it back.

Why?

If everyone finds out about his first love
after he died,

I'd feel bad for Tem.

But still...

If I don't do anything, I'll feel guilty.

Don't worry, it's nothing new.

I'm used to being feared and loathed.

How awkward.

You put it back again.

It's not the right time yet.

Don't worry.

I'll find the perfect time to do this,

to tell her how I feel.

Tem. I told her your feelings.

It's Rouis!

The lead in Adler?

He's handsome both on and off stage.

His movements, his voice, his gaze.

Rouis must be aware of
what he's projecting every minute.

He's just a year older,

but he's the star of our club
and holds power at school.

What are you staring at?

Is being rude a wolf's habit?

You're the pup from the art department.

Perfect timing. I have a favor to ask.

Follow me.

Okay.

So sorry, are you all right?
The wind was too strong.

You're fine, right?

I mean, guys always come to help you out.

The flowers were blooming beautifully...

STUDENT ID - NAME: LEGOSHI
CLASSIFICATION: CANIS LUPUS

I'm fine.

I'm not at all bothered
by whatever you do.

How about finding a new room?

How ridiculous.

Rabbit mattresses are so small.

What?

I'll help you carry it.

You shouldn't. It's Hal.

Thank you. I can do it myself.

Three down... a marginalized animal?

One, two, three...

Ten letters.

Hey, Sally. You could've stopped them
if you were here.

She's pretty pissed at you.

You should stay quiet for a while.

Thanks for your advice.

Wanna grab dinner?

With you? No thanks.

Fine.

Ten letters, a marginalized animal?

Is it a carnivore?

Black sheep.

Black sheep... that's it!

You're so smart.

Am I?

Can I take a seat?

Sorry, I'm waiting for my friend.

Is that seat open?

The food's good even behind the cafeteria.

Impressive.

You're being ignored by the whole school,
but you're still emotionally strong.

Be careful, though.

We just had that incident.

It's dangerous for a rabbit like you
to be alone.

I lost my appetite.

Why don't you reconcile with your ex
instead of badmouthing me around school?

What? Who do you think you are?

Whose fault--

He's the one who suddenly kissed me.

Besides, I'm not interested in a guy

who'd get so excited from a little peck.

Out of the way.

Listen up.

My ex and I are both endangered
Harlequin rabbits.

We're out of your league.

You, an ordinary dwarf rabbit,

ruined a well-bred couple.

I'll tell the whole school
you're flirting with other males.

Let's go.

Rouis.

Fit his outfit before
tomorrow's rehearsal.

What?

Zoe is Tem's replacement.

We made the decision
in yesterday's meeting.

Right?

Yes.

"How ironic to see you here,
Oddie the Water Spirit."

What?

We're rehearsing. What's Oddie's line?

I'm sorry. I haven't memorized it yet...

Come on. Open your mouth.

Rouis.

Hey. Did you eat up the script?

The only skill you goats have
is to eat paper, isn't it?

I'd rather you use that skill
somewhere else.

I promise to have the lines by tomorrow.

Rouis. Why is Zoe replacing Tem?

Tem and I were the last two
at the audition--

-Knock first.
-Yes.

Go outside and learn the lines.

Yes.

Hey. Why are you here?
You're a nobody from the art department.

Yeah. I'll leave, too, then.

No, you can stay here.

Kai, make sure you get along with Legoshi.

You'll be working together
in the art department.

What?

You'll no longer serve as an actor.

From now on, you'll be
in the art department

and support us from backstage.

Hey!

Are you done stretching?

The spring performance act 2 footwork.

The winter safari tournament's
final dance.

You know better than anyone else
that I didn't just mumble a spell.

Right, Kai?

You've been an actor for two years,
and what have you accomplished?

Those two mistakes you made on stage.

Actually, I'm the one who'd like to ask.

Why did you think you could replace Tem?

Actor's safety comes first.

That's the crew's important job.

He's the lead, Kai.

Who the hell do you think you are?

This is just foolish.

I'll let you off the hook.

Must be nice being rich.

You'll be protected
for the rest of your life.

What are you staring at?

Showing your fangs to avoid a fight?

I'm surprised.

You always act like a herbivore,
but you had some ferocity within you.

Excuse me.

Still, you seem like you have
a good understanding.

Come.

We're sneaking into the auditorium tonight
to give Zoe a rehearsal.

But if the school finds out...

That's why I need you to keep watch.

You're not going to refuse
and act like a hero, are you?

That's too bad.

If I promised you to give you my leg,

you'd drool and accept my proposal,
wouldn't you?

You're a wolf.

Act like one and give yourself
some prestige.

It's pretty dry now.

Males look at this face and think,

"I want to protect her,"

or "I need to be by her side,"

and approach me.

But when they find out that's an illusion,
they mess around for a while and leave.

I've been a prey my entire life.

Not that it matters, really.

If this gets out,
the drama club is doomed.

And I'll be... suspended?

Hurry up.

The teachers are on patrol more frequently
since that incident.

BACK ENTRANCE

What are you doing here, little pal?

I guess I should be asked that question.

A herbivore.

That's right.

To conquer this world...

you need to live by instincts.

I can't even get in the ring.

You can just have me if you want.

But I want you to know

that even a pathetic animal like me
had a reason to run away

or cry out in fear.

Would you understand?
