Synopsis
In a memory, Legoshi asks Tem if the alpaca wool is different from that of a sheep. Tem proudly tells him that the alpaca wool is more delicate than sheep's wool and even gives him permission to touch his wool to check it out, which Legoshi does.

In the present, Legoshi remembers that his friendship with Tem was pretty mild. Suddenly, Legoshi feels a presence of an ominous figure attacking him with a brutal headbutt. Legoshi almost manages to dodge the attack, but before he can turn around he receives a hard stomp on the head. He realizes the one attacking him is the killer, but the pressure of the killer paralyzes him. Legoshi is knocked out by a blow from the killer. Soon, Legoshi wakes up tied and with his eyes blindfolded as he is dragged by the killer into a dark corner. Legoshi realizes that the assassin knew that he had a cold and could not use his nose, so his attack was planned. Legoshi punches the killer's hand to free himself but only manages to receive a kick in response and later hits his head against a column. He asks the killer if he is threatening him not to chase him. Legoshi tells him that he seems to be very confident about his strength, but cannot see what he is trying to prove by hitting him while he is disabled. He states that as a fellow carnivore he feels ashamed of him declares that if he plans to continue killing more herbivores in the academy then he will have to kill him first and that he will stop his murders even if it is the last thing he does. In response the killer slaps him brutally. In his mind, Legoshi apologizes to Tem for considering that their friendship was mild realizing that friendship for a carnivore to be friends with a herbivore is terribly irregular and is something that a carnivore must never forget. Feeling that he must make it up to the herbivores, Legoshi murmurs to draw the attention of the killer. He approaches to listen to Legoshi, of which he takes advantage of to put his muzzle against that of the killer (kissing him). Taking into account that he is unable to use force to discover the identity of the killer, Legoshi tries to use his sense of touch and taste to have a clue. Legosh gets a taste of the killer's saliva and this causes him to run away scared. Legoshi with all his might tries to stay conscious to memorize the taste of the killer's saliva, while lamenting that if he had known that he was going to be his first kiss, he would have kissed Haru when he had the chance.
