Synopsis
Legoshi thinks about the carnivores-herbivores ratio within society. Inside the Black Market, he notices that it is similar, therefore that is the reason why this society can calmly see the madness as if it were a normal part of everyday life. His thoughts are interrupted by Haru who is in a hurry to enter the market, and Legoshi recommends that she hides her face to avoid any danger. When they enter, they hear the various cries that merchants use to sell all kinds of meat. Haru indicates to Legoshi that she wants to enter a certain place, and he notices that the place is a rabbit meatery. When entering the place, Legoshi explains to her that this establishment has a contract with a special funeral home and that is how they get the bodies, and once a week a priest comes to pray. Haru explains that she is not at all shocked when she sees such a scene, because she thought that she would only feel equal to others being in bed. When she saw these rabbits her self-destructive impulses no longer control her and especially because now she has Legoshi. She asks Legoshi to kiss her, but he has a panic attack and begins to talk about the money he has in his bank account and how he can't marry an herbivore since he is a predatorial offender. He says he can't promise a future with her, so he can't do something as shameless as kissing her. They are interrupted by the owner asking about the uproar in his establishment. As they leave, an angry Haru tells Legoshi that no matter the place, he always does the same thing. A hidden rat mentions to Yahya that they have found Legoshi's greatest weakness.
