Chapter 071 (Beastars)

Just an Ordinary Day (僕らの日々の中の１日) is Chapter 71 of the manga Beastars written and illustrated by Paru Itagaki, published in the Weekly Shōnen Champion of the Akita Shoten publishing house.

Synopsis
On a common day, the drama club is preparing for the new year and Legoshi, who finally has time to focus on his club, is working on lighting planning. Kibi asks Tao for help with his stretches, but he does not measure his strength and ends up ripping off his arm, breaking the peace in the club. All the members move away and Tao, abruptly panicked, tries to convince the others that it was an accident. Bill holds Tao, managing to retain him and gives the order to take Kibi to the infirmary. The other members go to help Kibi.

Legoshi mentions to the viewer that this is an event that usually occurs at least every five years. Carnivores are taught to control their strength since they are children, but sometimes they get carried away so it is not uncommon for a carnivore to accidentally rip off a limb from a herbivore. That is why all hospitals are required to have reimplantation programs. The success rates of the surgeries are quite high so there is no need for Kibi to worry.

Kibi who is terrified, does not let any carnivore approach him to help him for fear of losing another arm. Aoba tries to convince him to accept a carnivores strength, but Kibi continues to refuse with fear. Kibi finally accepts to be carried by Legoshi. Legoshi asks someone to take Kibi's arm with him to the infirmary. In a moment of silence in which no one dares to take the arm, Riz finally offers and wraps the arm to go with Legoshi. The other members are left with a bad taste in the mouth. Bill and Aoba take Tao outside to calm him down, Sanu instructs the other members not to panic and to calmly pray for Kibi's recovery and to not do anything stupid.

On the way to the infirmary, Kibi asks Legoshi and they will take him to the hospital. Legoshi replies that the infirmary is likely to call an ambulance. Legoshi notices how Kibi trembles and promises him to visit him in the hospital and that when go out, they will go to the city center to have a good time.

Outside the school, Tao is lamenting what he might go to jail and Bill and Aoba try to comfort him. Tao says that when everyone saw him panic, they surely thought that it was he who killed Tem since the murderer hasn't been found. Bill and Aoba ask him if it was him but Tao denies it. Tao declares that he has been calm all this time to avoid being suspicious, but that he cannot be calm after ripping off his friend's arm. Bill agrees, revealing that when they saw that an herbivore could be damaged as easily, they began to sweat as if they were responsible for what happened. Bill declares that it is strange that Riz and Legoshi were so calm in that situation.

After leaving Kibi in the infirmary, Legoshi and Riz calm down and he gives Legoshi a handkerchief to wipe away the blood on him. Legoshi then reveals that Riz is the one who killed Tem.
