01x05 - Two Sides to the Story

[bunniefuu]

Extra!

Here's the truth behind
the drama club's second performance!

It's a special edition!

What a scary-looking wolf.

You're right.
I missed the performance yesterday.

-I went.
-Really?

You did? How was it?

It was crazy! They were hitting, kicking,
and at the end

this wolf took out a machine g*n
and the tiger turned into a fireball!

Come on.

The story is way too distorted.

TWO SIDES TO THE STORY

Here you go.

-An egg sandwich and plain soy milk.
-Thanks.

Legoshi.

You're smart,
avoiding the cafeteria or the stall today.

I thought so. What was it like?

Your rampage yesterday
made the school newspaper's headlines.

They're selling fast.

-Headlines? No way.
-See for yourself.

It's a nice photo.

I bought it as a memento.

It says "The Birth of A Dark Hero."

Jack must've seen
the performance yesterday,

but he's spending time with me as usual.

Hasn't he noticed

that my performance wasn't acting?

This photo really is great.

Since when did you get
so close with Rouis?

You got it wrong.

A lot of things happened after
to result in an article like this.

In short, Rouis is the one
who should be praised.

I keep causing trouble.

I'm too ashamed to face him.

I'm absolutely shocked by you two.

You can wrestle here as much as you want.

How do you intend to apologize
for all this?

Well, I...

I don't know where to start.

Honestly, I don't care if you drank
animal blood to liven up.

I never expected good morals from you,
unlike Legoshi.

The problem is both of you.

Two beasts went out of control
and smeared the stage with blood.

Would you have k*lled each other
if I hadn't stopped you?

Your barbarism is totally
beyond my understanding.

The acting team has decided
to suspend both of you for a while.

-No excuses.
-Rouis.

We don't need you at rehearsal.

-Behind you--
-To be honest, I can kick you out...

Sorry to bother you.

I'm from the PR team.

I'd like to ask about today's performance.
Do you have some time?

Rouis, what should we do?

We'd love to hear about it, Rouis.

At that moment,
I saw Rouis showing his emotions

like an ordinary 18-year-old does.

But it might've been an illusion.

Listen up, you two.

I'm taking back my words.

The play was a success.

I need you to act it out until the end.

-Understand?
-Yes.

Today's story was very different
from the first performance.

Was it all scripted?

Yes, of course. That was all planned out.

I thought so. Everyone was so surprised.

Can I ask more in detail?

Go ahead.

This play was a big challenge for us,

and a valuable performance
for the youngsters.

We live in a very complicated world.

Everyone has something to hide and endure.

They live desperately
through various conflicts.

There's no right or wrong.

But if there's solid faith
within yourself,

some light should shed upon you.

Even if it's rough or childish,

as long as there's faith...

The actors have brilliantly
acted out this message.

That's all from me.

They will give you
the rest of the details.

Rouis, hold on, please.
Give us another minute.

Was that a message for me?

I ruined the stage.
Did my actions possess...

Faith.

Legoshi.

Has your anger settled?

Anger?

I mean, that scuffle on stage
wasn't acting.

-How did you...
-Don't let it go to waste.

There's no way I wouldn't notice.

How long have we been friends?

Here, three second rule.

Just eat it.

Cheer up already.

You get depressed too easily.

That's how I wanted to live.

Get depressed and cheer up all by myself.

I've always stayed unnoticed.

But yesterday, for the first time,
I didn't want that.

I just wanted to vent my anger.

I didn't want to control it.

I mean, my feelings are my own, so...

I can't explain it.

He's changed.

It's okay to feel like that sometimes.
You don't like it?

I don't like the fact
that I don't mind it.

Stop whining.

No, I'm actually glad.

You've never been
so lively before, Legoshi.

-Really?
-You're fine.

To be honest,

you looked drained these days,
so I was worried.

Were you inspired by something?

Inspired...

I don't know.

For example...

Love!

My tail is swinging, is this love?

Legoshi...

Wait, really?

For 17 years, you weren't in love.

And finally!

We gotta get back to class.

Who is it? Let's see.
Female wolves in our class...

That one and that...

Four? I've narrowed it down quite a bit.

-You're right. Oh, my.
-She's not a wolf? Is she a canine?

A SHOCKING PERFORMANCE

You seem down.

What's wrong?

Things aren't going the way you want?

Your beauty lies
in minding your own business.

Come here.

STUDENT ID - NAME: JACK
CLASSIFICATION: GOLDEN RETRIEVER

The scent of soil is stronger.

I like this smell.

It's the same every year,
mostly white and gray.

I think it's mostly Legoshi's and my fur.

But there's much more fur than last year.

We'll sell it to the yarn shop again.

I wonder how much it'll be.

Share some with me, too.

Where should we go for the summer?

-I want to go somewhere far by train.
-That sounds good.

I'm going to ask her out this year.

Forget it. She's out of your league.

Like last year,

we're invited to participate
in the Festival of the Meteor again.

FESTIVAL OF THE METEOR

You'll participate, right?

Hurray!

We can go out to the city
without a permit again.

Of course we'll do it!

Hey, you guys.

You're not going there to have fun.
You're helping out with the festival.

Okay!

The art team will be busy this year.

Let's have a meeting at the warehouse.

Okay.

I guess we shouldn't reuse
last year's work.

Why dinosaurs, anyway?

There's got to be an easier animal.

Dinosaurs are the ancestors of all animals
and treated as God.

They say that when they were wiped out
by the meteor, it was summer.

A festival to welcome
the ghosts of extinct dinosaurs?

That's just a front.

Everyone's just looking forward to
that lighting ceremony on the last day.

They say that if a couple places
a lighted candle on a meteor,

they'll be together forever.

How can I put it?

It's an event for social animals.

I'm sure all the actors will be busy
after the event,

-partying with their lovers.
-Dancers, too.

Let it be.
It means that they're relying on us.

That's not what I'm saying.

They might be relying on us

because they think we have nothing else
to do on the day.

Can't they understand our burden?

We have one guy in the art team
who you don't want to piss off.

It's rough.

He's talking about me.

It's been a month since that incident,

but I still act awkward around them.

Don't get us wrong.
We're not concerned about that anymore.

How's your back?

It's much better.

That's good to know.

Let's have dinner at the cafeteria.

I'm...

Sorry. I have to go somewhere.

See you later.

See you.

He's such a weirdo.

You probably made him feel uncomfortable.

-Be nice.
-Okay.

These flowers don't look well.

Who's taking care of this?

If I change the water

and give them some nutrients,
they should look better.

Don't worry. I'll revitalize you.

You're so lame.

What a rookie mistake.

That dirty look suits you well.

How careless of me.

She only has flowers to talk to now.

Yeah, that's right.

It's 100 times more fruitful
than talking to you.

It's been a while, Hal.

We need to talk.

What did you say
to my boyfriend this time?

So you...

failed to reconcile with you ex?

What did you say?

That's a pity, isn't it?

He made a wise decision, though.

Complain to your minions, not me.

Whose fault do you think it is?

Because of a sl*t like you,

Harlequin rabbits are further endangered.

You're just a piece of garbage.

You're worthless.
All you do is thwart my love.

Oh, my.

I have some advice for you poor soul.

You already lost.

In the game of love, the more desperate
you are, the more you lose.

You can keep fighting for nothing.

I'll watch you from afar,
so, please, continue.

I'll watch your stupid love grudge game
until you both become extinct.

How entertaining!

And I'll honor your spirits
as well as the dinosaurs' at the festival.

You girls can never defeat me.

Why don't you vent
on a punier female rabbit?

I have nothing to lose.

Unlike you, I have freedom.

Did I go too far?

Don't you underestimate me.

Go get eaten alone!

What?

You're the guy from...

Wow...

What should I do?

She's finally in front of me.

Are they bullying you? Are you hurt?

Do you remember me?

-It's been a while.
-I can't speak out loud.

I've thought about you
so many times this past month.

The flowers...

I hastened your death
because of my meddling.

Sorry.

She's so much smaller than I remembered.

Are you all right?

I appreciate your feelings,

but I don't want mercy
from males I've slept with.

Out of my way.

No, we...

We didn't do anything.

Sorry.

That's right.

I stripped and he ran away.

All that yelling made me hungry.

Have you had dinner yet?

Hey, look at that.

Did he bring her here thinking she's food?

The prey looks too dignified, though.

Which one's getting punished?

Sorry for sitting on your backpack.

The height is perfect now.

I see. That's good.

Oh, God!

I'm repenting from the bottom of my heart.

With everything that's happened recently,

I thought I grew a bit, but I was wrong.

I thought I started walking,

but, in fact, I'm not moving.

I was arrogant.

I haven't changed.

Because...

I can't even ask a girl her name!

How do you ask someone's name?

Why do I want to know her name?

Why would a wolf ask a rabbit's name?

What's a name?

Hey.

I don't know what happened, but cheer up.

You won't grow if you don't eat.

I will. Eat.

Midterm's coming up.

I suck at history.

Her voice sounds like a sad child.

What an intriguing voice.

Would she answer in that voice
if I ask her?

"What's your name?"

Wasn't that piece too big for you?

You're such a pervert.

You shouldn't stare
at a girl eating like that.

Sorry.

I'm kidding.

I wanted to thank you for the other day,
so I'm glad we could talk.

I really was prepared
to get laid with a wolf.

But instead, you put a blanket
on my shoulders and left.

I think I was saved by your decision.

Realistically speaking.

What do you mean?

Well, I understand what you're saying,

but I haven't even asked your name

yet you seem to be distancing yourself.

Sorry, wolfie.

This physical phenomenon...

I guess it can't be helped.

Every time he opens his mouth
and bares his fangs,

my body tries to run away on instinct.

Run away!

Hurry!

Gosh, this is unbearable.

I didn't know eating with a wolf
was this risky.

Hey, bunny.

Does that mean you want
to stay away from me?

I don't even know your name. I don't want
to know you only by your underwear.

This wolf is probably a really nice guy

and I want to be more friendly.

But we're physically too different

and I don't know how to fill that gap.

It's best I keep a distance from him.

Now? Should I ask her name?

To close this distance...

-So...
-That was delicious!

Thanks for hanging out.

It was a rare experience.

I'm going back to my room. How about you?

I'll do the same.

Hold on.

Wait a minute.

Do you need help?

Here.

Our eyes met for the first time.

I didn't know rabbit eyes

are pitch-black.

What?

I've never seen them closely.

That's right.

I'm the one who didn't take
a sincere approach.

Plus, my name is not "rabbit."

My name is Hal.

What's yours?

Legoshi.

I want you to smile more.

I want to see more of you.

From now on,
I don't care how dirty my tail gets.

If I can look into your eyes.
