If You Pour Out All the Lukewarm Water, You'll Be Left with Cold Water (ぬるま湯をぶち撒ければ、冷水に) is Chapter 119 of the manga Beastars written and illustrated by Paru Itagaki, published in the Weekly Shōnen Champion of the Akita Shoten publishing house.

Synopsis
In a cafeteria, Haru, who is now studying at a university, meets for lunch with some friends. Taking advantage of not being a bullying target anymore and starting from scratch, Haru convinces herself to forget about Legoshi. One of her classmates Ako mentions having a boyfriend and wants to introduce them to him. Her boyfriend turns out to be an Indian lion named Airdo, puzzling Haru. Ako and Airdo boast of being more socially advanced due to their interspecies relationship. Haru thinks their relationship is "false" because a relationship between an herbivore and a carnivore is not so simple while remembering her relationship with Legoshi. Haru tells them head-on and asks if their relationship is just an excuse to look good.

Furious Ako leaves the restaurant while Airdo continues to try to calm her. Ako complains to him for not having done anything in that situation, but Airdo recognizes that Haru could have been right. Ako asks him if he does not see her as a female rabbit and if he wants to prove the contrary, he should kisses her. Airdo agrees and they proceed to kiss. While they kiss Airdo licks Ako, which causes the situation to be more passionate.

Later, Haru regrets the things she said and leaves to apologize to Ako. On the way Haru sees various animals heading to what turns out to be a scene of predation between Ako and Airdo, who had unconsciously attacked Ako. Haru watches the scene realizing that she was right.
