Synopsis
After three days of vacation that Cherryton Academy had suddenly ordered, the canines in Room 701 find themselves doing their homework until they are visited by a messenger who delivers a letter to them saying that, starting next year, the academy would be segregated and all interspecies clubs will be suspended starting next month. The next day, Bill is frustrated by the sudden news that the drama club will be suspended, but realizes that herbivores do not attach importance to segregation and even some are relieved to be separated from carnivores. Bill is forced to remain optimistic about the situation. He soon meets Els and is happy in front of her. While Els is horrified by the news, Bill casually talks about the news, declaring that there is nothing to do about it and alleges that Els should rejoice as she will be safer that way. Els annoyed by Bill's words calls him a coward and declares that he has no right to say that. While Bill is speechless, Els tells him that he has no right to talk about her safety since he eats meat from the Black Market, revealing that it is a known rumor in the club. Furiously she tells him that she also knows that he said he would take her if she were a tiger and that she knows all his crimes. Even knowing all that, she enjoys being with him, because she knows both his good and bad sides, thanks to the drama club. Bill reconsiders and apologizes for having surrendered, and both go to the club to talk about the topic while several students around saw his inspirational talk. Bill and Els arrive at the club to discuss segregation and discover that members voting on whether to continue the club or obey the teachers, Bill and Els vote to continue the club, as does the drama club. The rest of the academy's interspecies clubs are against segregation and show a sense of solidarity like never before.

Meanwhile, the RP club tries to convince the chief to write an article against segregation in the newspaper, but he refuses to use the influence of the school newspaper and antagonize his teachers. They reproach him for wanting to continue with the club and that they have endured all the challenges thanks to his cuteness and that is what coexistence is about. Enraged, the chief agrees to publish an article against segregation, which is seen by the entire academy.
