Synopsis
At Cherryton Academy, the carnivore male dorms housemother finds herself questioning Legoshi's roommates because he broke curfew. The housemother labels Legoshi a delinquent and asks if he has had a strange behavior recently or if he has had an interest in a small animal student (referring to Haru), something to which Jack reacts upset. The housemother shows Legoshi's backpack that was returned to the school which has several books of how to approach small animals, which confirms that Legoshi and Haru are together.

In the city, Legoshi and Haru arrive at a love hotel. Legoshi tries to persuade Haru to let him sleep outside, but Haru insists that they go together since he trusts him. Legoshi is overwhelmed by the rapidity of the situation. In the hotel room, Haru stays casual while Legoshi just stands there. Haru invites Legoshi to sit on the bed, which he does. Haru remains casual but Legoshi just stares at her, causing Haru to get nervous and change the subject saying that he should wash his clothes (which is dirty and full of blood) and proceeds to remove his shirt. Haru discovers the old wounds on Legoshi's back and asks about them. Legoshi remains silent and she hugs him. Legoshi asks if she remembers that beast that tried to eat her.
