Synopsis
After leaving flowers at Tem's altar, Louis is alerted by the voice of other students, so he leaves the place to return to his room. While he leaves, Legoshi, who was nearby, prevents Louis from being attacked by a jaguar student without realizing it. After Louis leaves, Legoshi questions the jaguar, and he tells him that several carnivorous students plan to lynch Louis due to the confirmation that Louis will become the next Beastar after the Meteor Festival, causing the social situation of the carnivores worsen horribly. The jaguar tried to get ahead and Legoshi tells him that he will protect Louis since he is the most suitable to be the Beastar. The jaguar hits Legoshi and leaves. Legoshi decides that if he is going to protect Louis, he must do something about his feelings for Haru.

In the plaza, Legoshi talks to Haru and decides to confess to her, which Haru anticipates and yells saying that she is bitten by mosquitoes to interrupt him. While Legoshi continues trying to confess, Haru continues to interrupt him, pretends to be angry and tries to leave. Legoshi stops her by saying that he does not want to ruin the relationship they have, declaring that she is important to him and that he respects Louis and does not want to cause trouble. He only wants to tell her how he feels and asks her to see him at the Meteor Festival at sunset. She nervously accepts and they say goodbye. Haru walks away stressed out by the situation and is suddenly kidnapped by a pair of unknown perpetrators.
