As it was a fresh new morning and it was school day. But Leon was getting concerned since he was starting to get a little thin that his ribs are barely showing and a little malnutrition from not eating much protein.

He was getting tired of eating cafeteria food that doesn't taste very good and missed having real meat in the real world. Even though there are some places that sell protein but have no money at all.

Later after school, Juno was in deep thought about how Leon stood for her and started to have a crush on him a little. She decided to join the drama club since she started to have interest in it and found out Leon is participating there as well.

"Hey excuse me." She says as she went to Dom.

"You must be Juno. How can I help you?" He asked.

"Is Leon here? I want to see him." Juno answers.

"Oh, he's not here right now. Him and our friends, Bill and Legoshi, went to visit the city today, but they might be back later tonight." Dom explains.

"Oh, that's too bad. I do want to thank him for helping me yesterday." Juno says as she helps Dom out with the supplies for the meteor festival.

Later on, Leon, Legoshi and Bill joined with their friends as they took the subway to the city. However, Leon didn't like the idea of being in public yet since he's the only human and many bystanders might judge him. Legoshi suggested Leon to come along since he thought it might help him fit into society better.

"Leon, are you doing okay?" Legoshi asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Leon says as he got in the subway car and sat down.

"You don't look so good bro." Aoba said as he sat next to him.

"I'm fine. Really." Leon says as he chuckles a little.

"If he's fine, he's fine." Bill says as he came in with a couple more students followed.

The ride lasted for almost 10 minutes as the subway train made it to the main city station. They all walked out and went through the gate. Legoshi had trouble passing through the gate since his pass wasn't working.

"Come on Legoshi. Hurry up." Bill says.

"Hang on, give me a sec. Need to add more money on my pass." Legoshi explains as he goes on his phone.

Later on, the group headed out of the subway tunnel and headed upstairs to the city square where they're was many anthropomorphic people walking around, socializing, doing their business in peace.


Even though herbivores and carnivores still have tension with each other, they were able to make peace by sharing the same city which confuses Leon a little. Legoshi thought about it until the group decided to grab a bite at a fast food restaurant.

"We should eat here." Aoba suggested.

"Yeah, better than the cafeteria food we always eat." Bill says as he walks inside.

Leon lost his smile since he wished he could get anything to eat that has more protein than the cafeteria food he got tired of eating ,but he couldn't afford anything since he's broke.

While everyone sat down and started eating their meals, Bill was talking about how he tries to hit on a girl that he likes and Legoshi rolled his eyes while he eats.

"Do you think you will find the girl of your life, Legoshi?" Bill asked.

Legoshi didn't like the question, since he kept thinking about Haru and can't stand her since he started to like her.

"Eventually." He answers.

"Well, I hope you will eventually. You are always quiet." Bill says.

Leon thought about the same question, when he started to think about Juno, when he ran into her earlier, but too distracted with his hunger and tried to fit in the conversation with the others.

As it was finally evening, they were lost in trying to find the way back to the subway.

"Did we already walk this way?" One of the carnivore students asked.

"I think we did." Leon answers.

"One of the bystanders said we're going the right way." Bill says.

"He could be wrong." Aoba says.

"Can we sit down for a minute? We have been walking for hours." Leon says as he sits on the bench and started coughing.

"Yeah, I'm tired as well." Legoshi said as he sat down.

"Why now? We have to hurry back to school before our den mother will chew our asses off." Bill says.

"We will soon. We just need to ask for directions." Leon says.

"Um... guys..." Aoba says as he points at what he is looking at.

They all looked and noticed that they are at the black market.
