* In the beginning, God created*
* the heavens and the earth.*
**[00:07] Nar**
*He followed them*
**[00:11] Nar**
*with light, waters, and the land.*
**[00:15] Nar**
* Then he created the many animals*
* that would inhabit it.*
**[00:20] Nar**
*Or... that was the plan.*
**[00:23] Nar**
*It got too tedious, so he outsourced it.*
***SIGN*** Heaven's Design Team
**[02:00] Ued**
This is Heaven's design team,
**[02:03] Ued**
the department where animals are created.
**[02:06] Ued**
Shimoda-kun, as the newly-hired angel,
**[02:09] Ued**
you'll be responsible for communication
between the team and God.
**[02:12] Shi**
Yes, I will do my best!
**[02:14] Miz**
Ueda-san, is that the new guy?
**[02:17] Ued**
Yes, be nice to him.
**[02:19] Shi**
My name is Sh-Shimoda. It's nice to meet you!
**[02:22] Miz**
Yeah, yeah, welcome.
**[02:24] Shi**
So God doesn't create
every single animal himself?
**[02:28] Ued**
There are just too many, so he outsourced
their design and creation to us.
**[02:33] Ued**
We're an OEM, manufacturing
with the customer's branding.
**[02:38] Ued**
And God is our client.
**[02:40] Shi**
That's very illuminating!
**[02:42] Ued**
It's time for the meeting.
I hope you're ready.
**[02:46] Shi**
Yes!
**[02:47] Tsu**
Starting today, a new angel,
Shimoda-kun, will be joining us.
**[02:52] Shi**
I'm so excited to be here!
**[02:53] Tsu**
Great.
**[02:55] Tsu**
I'll jump right into the first agenda item.
**[02:57] Tsu**
The order from the client
we'll discuss today is:
**[03:00] Tsu**
"An animal that can eat leaves
that are really high up."
**[03:04] Tsu**
There are three suggestions so far.
**[03:07] Tsu**
We'll start with mine.
**[03:10] Shi**
Wow, a pegasus!
**[03:12] Shi**
Indeed, a flying animal
can reach leaves anywhere.
**[03:17] Miz**
Chief Saturn, a horse again?
**[03:20] Tsu**
Is there a problem?
**[03:21] Tsu**
The horse design can be
infinitely refactored.
**[03:24] Ued**
Chief Saturn's best-known
work is the horse.
**[03:27] Shi**
That's a masterpiece!
**[03:29] Ued**
Yes, but because the horse
is such a masterpiece,
**[03:33] Ued**
he now bases all of his designs on it.
**[03:35] Tsu**
Let's see the next
suggestion, Mercury-kun.
**[03:38] Miz**
Right.
**[03:39] Miz**
This is the Ping Pong Tree.
**[03:41] Kim**
I-Is this an animal?
**[03:43] Kim**
Rather than eating leaves that are high up,
**[03:46] Kim**
it looks more like a
plant that gets eaten.
**[03:50] Miz**
I am not afraid of being innovative,
and I endeavor to design
**[03:53] Miz**
something that is not constrained
by established norms.
**[03:55] Kim**
Yeah, I think you went too far.
**[03:58] Miz**
It can grow and shrink in length at will.
**[04:01] Miz**
And it captures prey with these balls.
**[04:05] Kan**
Ew, gross!
**[04:07] Kan**
Why would you design
something like that?
**[04:09] Kan**
It's not beautiful.
**[04:11] Mei**
Really? I like it.
**[04:13] Uma**
Yeah, Pluto-chan has come up
with carnivorous plants before.
**[04:17] Uma**
I can see why you like it.
**[04:19] Shi**
Carnivorous plants...
**[04:20] Ued**
She's a designer, as well. Her
best-known work is the poisonous frog.
**[04:25] Tsu**
Now, on to the last suggestion.
**[04:27] Tsu**
Neptune-kun came up with
this long-necked deer.
**[04:31] Uma**
Well, if it's an animal that can
eat leaves from the top of trees,
**[04:36] Uma**
I figured a long neck would help,
so I tried that.
**[04:40] All**
*That's so simple.*
**[04:42] Tsu**
Such a simple idea, Neptune-kun.
**[04:44] Uma**
It is, huh?
**[04:46] Tsu**
Anyway, let's toss it to the
engineer to see if it could work
**[04:49] Tsu**
when we let it loose on Earth.
**[04:51] Shi**
Engineer?
**[04:53] Ued**
Designs must pass a number of tests
so we're sure they'll survive on Earth,
***SIGN*** Prototype Lab
**[04:58] Ued**
Hence this prototype lab.
**[05:01] Ued**
You submit the design proposals
to the engineer here.
**[05:04] Tsu**
The engineer makes prototypes based on
our designs to see if they are viable.
**[05:10] Shi**
So there's even a mechanical department!
**[05:13] Shi**
Oh, the door opened.
**[05:15] Tsu**
That was rather quick.
**[05:19] Hig**
Saturn-san...
**[05:20] Hig**
I recall telling you that
we cannot make a pegasus.
**[05:24] Tsu**
Mars-san, I was hoping
that you could do it anyway.
**[05:26] Tsu**
I mean, it's cool. It's a horse.
**[05:28] Hig**
An animal this big cannot fly!
**[05:31] Hig**
I've told you time and time again!
**[05:33] Hig**
Please accept it already!
**[05:35] Ued**
That's Mars-san, our engineer.
**[05:37] Hig**
There's not enough muscle mass
to use those wings to fly.
**[05:40] Kane**
That's right. Making an animal
fly is a real challenge.
**[05:44] Kane**
Making it lighter wasn't easy,
so I had to make the bones
**[05:47] Kane**
and the feather stems hollow, dial up
its excretion frequency, and so on.
***SIGN*** Hollow Inside
**[05:51] Kane**
The pursuit of beauty isn't trivial.
**[05:54] Shi**
So, basically, making a
pegasus reality means...
**[05:57] Shi**
a mega-buff muscle horse that
rapid-fires dung all over?
***SIGN*** Rat-tat-tat
***SIGN*** Rat-tat-tat
***SIGN*** Rat-tat-tat
**[06:04] Hig**
That's why it's impossible.
***SIGN*** Rejected
**[06:05] Tsu**
Oh, no.
**[06:08] Hig**
And Mercury-san, your
Ping Pong Tree also won't work.
**[06:12] Hig**
It couldn't handle gravity.
***SIGN*** Rejected
**[06:15] Hig**
Which leaves us with this long-necked deer.
It won't work like this, though.
**[06:19] Uma**
Really? It should be able to eat...
**[06:22] Hig**
I figured you'd say that, so I made
it according to your original design.
**[06:35] Hig**
Cerebral anemia.
**[06:37] Hig**
If the neck is 10 meters long,
you need a 1.5 ton heart
**[06:41] Hig**
to transport the blood to the head.
**[06:43] Hig**
That's why it immediately
collapses from lightheadedness.
**[06:46] Shi**
The poor thing!
**[06:47] Uma**
Then how about making the
legs longer instead?
**[06:50] Miz**
How will it drink water?
**[06:53] Miz**
That won't work.
**[06:54] Kan**
Then how about something in between?
**[06:56] Shi**
Right.
**[06:57] Shi**
Then both leaves and
water will be reachable!
**[06:59] Miz**
It also relieves pressure on the heart
and solves the lightheadedness.
**[07:04] Hig**
All right, I'll take it back
and make another prototype.
**[07:06] Hig**
But despite being this big,
this pup only eats leaves, right?
**[07:09] Hig**
I wonder if it can sustain itself.
**[07:11] Kim**
Then why not make it like the
cows I made a while back?
***SIGN*** Bacteria
**[07:15] Kim**
They keep bacteria in their gut
that turns leaves into protein.
**[07:19] Kim**
With those, even a large
animal can be an herbivore.
**[07:22] Hig**
Okay, I'll try that.
**[07:25] Kim**
I'll come, too. I want to taste it.
**[07:27] Miz**
As soon as he makes an animal,
he does a taste test.
**[07:30] Shi**
A real diversity of ideas here, huh?
***SIGN*** And then...
**[07:35] Hig**
It's done.
**[07:38] Uma**
It's so big that it bonks its head.
**[07:40] Uma**
Should we add horns?
**[07:42] Mei**
That's not a deer anymore.
**[07:44] Tsu**
How about adding some horse elements
to its face, something horsey?
**[07:47] Kim**
It already tastes good
without horseradish.
**[07:49] Mei**
Stop horsing around.
**[07:51] Kan**
It's a bit sad without decoration.
**[07:53] Kan**
I'll come up with something!
**[07:56] Ued**
Oh, Shimoda-kun, did you just...
**[07:59] Shi**
I got a message from God.
**[08:01] Shi**
God has spoken!
***SIGN*** Giraffe
***SIGN*** Accepted
**[08:07] God**
Accepted!
**[08:09] Shi**
Wow, it's the birth of a new life form!
**[08:13] Tsu**
Shimoda-kun, congratulations for
finishing your first assignment!
**[08:18] Hig**
I told you it's not getting enough protein.
**[08:22] Ued**
God has spoken again!
***SIGN*** Ping Pong
Tree Sponge
***SIGN*** Accepted
**[08:24] God**
Accepted!
**[08:26] Miz**
Seriously?
***SIGN*** The Illustrated Guide to Creatures That Really Exist
**[08:28] Ken**
The Illustrated Guide to Creatures
That Really Exist!
**[08:32] Shi**
They're up to five meters tall.
**[08:34] Shi**
In the wild, they even sleep standing up.
**[08:37] Hig**
They give birth standing up, as well.
**[08:39] Hig**
The distance of their butt from
the ground is about two meters.
**[08:42] Shi**
Wait, what about the babies then?
**[08:43] Hig**
The moment they are born, they fall
two meters and smack the ground!
**[08:47] Shi**
That's terrible!
**[08:48] Hig**
They have soft, tender bodies
so that they don't get hurt.
**[08:52] Hig**
This is how they drink water.
**[08:55] Shi**
Wouldn't the blood rush to their heads?
**[08:57] Hig**
There's an organ near the brain that
stores excess blood, so they're fine.
**[09:01] Shi**
They're really well tuned!
**[09:11] Miz**
Among the tens of thousands
of designs we create,
**[09:14] Miz**
one will stand out and change everything.
**[09:18] Miz**
This is Saturn-san's
masterpiece, the horse.
**[09:21] Miz**
I wanted to add some
revolutionary ideas to it.
**[09:25] Miz**
Front legs? Unnecessary.
**[09:27] Miz**
Hind legs? Unnecessary.
**[09:30] Miz**
There's no need to have a separate
hole for intercourse and excretion.
**[09:35] Miz**
Thus, let me introduce this
revolutionary animal to you.
**[09:43] Miz**
It's the snake.
**[09:45] Kan**
I hate this!
**[09:47] Kan**
Why did our client allow this one to pass?!
**[09:50] Miz**
Obviously, because the snake's
design is excellent.
**[09:53] Kan**
I'm so pissed!
**[09:54] Shi**
I-Is something wrong?
**[09:55] Miz**
That was an unexpected turn of events.
**[09:58] Kim**
Sometimes we are curious about how
the animals we designed are doing,
**[10:02] Kim**
so we take a peek at Earth.
**[10:04] Miz**
Indeed. The bird class that Venus
did is designed really well.
***SIGN*** Weaver
Bird
***SIGN*** Cry
**[10:08] Miz**
Especially their eggs.
***SIGN*** Weaver
Bird
***SIGN*** Cry
***SIGN*** I love
these
eggs ♥
***SIGN*** Egg-Eating Snake
**[10:10] Kan**
What kind of snake only eats
a certain bird's eggs?
**[10:13] Kan**
A freaking gourmet?!
**[10:14] Kim**
It's fine! It means they're just that delicious.
**[10:16] Kan**
It's not fine!
**[10:18] Miz**
Incidentally, with its simple body shape,
**[10:20] Miz**
the snake can move, climb, and capture prey.
**[10:24] Kan**
The more I hear, the more that
thing sounds like it's cheating!
**[10:27] Kan**
I really want to see that snake suffer!
**[10:29] ---**
But how to do it...
**[10:32] Kim**
How about an egg that's hard to eat?
**[10:34] Shi**
Good idea. Mercury-san,
you should help, too.
**[10:37] Miz**
How about adding spikes to the egg, then?
**[10:40] Shi**
That would definitely hurt the
mother when she's laying them!
**[10:43] Miz**
Then how about having the egg
stick to the parent's belly?
***SIGN*** Stick
**[10:45] Miz**
The egg could walk.
**[10:47] Miz**
Or the parent could wrap it
in a cloth and carry it.
**[10:50] Kan**
Something serious, please?
**[10:52] Miz**
Then why not just make the shell so
tough the snake can't digest it?
**[10:56] Shi**
That's good! Right?
**[10:59] Kim**
Let's have Mars-san make it.
**[11:02] Hig**
Here you go.
**[11:03] Kan**
Soon the chick will be born.
**[11:13] Shi**
Oh no, it exhausted itself!
**[11:16] Kim**
How about making it hatch faster
when it senses a snake approaching?
**[11:19] Hgi**
Here you go.
**[11:24] Shi**
It hatched!
**[11:26] Shi**
Of course.
**[11:28] Kan**
It's fine, it's just for the demo.
**[11:31] Kan**
Ask Mars-san to take it out.
**[11:33] Shi**
Okay.
**[11:36] Kim**
That's too bad. It was able to
sense the snake's vibrations...
**[11:40] Kim**
How about making it jump
out of the nest to escape?
**[11:42] Miz**
That's jumping from
the frying pan into the fire.
**[11:46] Kim**
Yeah, they wouldn't be able to fly yet.
**[11:48] Shi**
The poor thing!
**[11:50] Kim**
I guess that won't work unless they can
fully move right after being born.
**[11:53] Kim**
Something like tadpoles.
**[11:55] Shi**
Oh, "new and fun frogs" are always welcome.
**[11:59] Kim**
All right, then I'll try submitting that idea.
**[12:02] Miz**
Well, basically, the snake has no weaknesses.
**[12:06] Miz**
By the way, the snake can smell by tasting
particles in the air with its tongue.
**[12:12] Kan**
Th-That smug face again!
**[12:14] Kan**
The snake and you both
piss me off so much!
**[12:16] Kan**
Just you wait! The birds won't
be the helpless victims forever!
***SIGN*** Days Later
**[12:20] Shi**
Jupiter-san!
**[12:22] Shi**
Your idea from the other day for the frog
that can evade snakes got accepted!
***SIGN*** Accepted
***SIGN*** Red-Eyed
Tree Frog
**[12:28] Kim**
Really?
**[12:29] Kim**
Oh, so it passed.
**[12:31] Kan**
What kind of tweaks did
you do? Please tell me!
**[12:34] Kim**
Well, as long as the snake
is just looking at them,
**[12:37] Kim**
the hatching won't begin.
**[12:39] Kim**
But as soon as the snake strikes,
**[12:42] Kim**
the tadpoles sense the vibrations
and escape into the water.
**[12:45] Kan**
That's so clever!
**[12:47] Kan**
I'm jealous. My birdies
still can't do anything.
**[12:52] Shi**
Venus-san...
**[12:54] Kim**
Let's try thinking about it
from the beginning.
**[12:57] Kim**
So, the snake is approaching.
**[13:00] Kim**
What happens next?
**[13:02] Kan**
It's hard. Even if they go higher,
the snake will just climb after them.
**[13:06] Kan**
Freaking snakes... Freaking Mercury!
**[13:10] Kim**
Couldn't the parent run away with the nest?
**[13:13] Kan**
That's as ridiculous as the cloth
carrier idea that Mercury had.
**[13:16] Kan**
Oh, but wait.
**[13:18] Kan**
Wouldn't a nest like this
make it harder to eat the eggs?
**[13:18] ---**
Cross-Section
**[13:20] Kan**
If the nest is open on the bottom,
the birdies can fly in,
**[13:24] Kan**
but the snakes would fall down, right?
**[13:26] Kim**
I see! So let's come up with a
bird that makes hanging nests!
**[13:30] Kan**
It can't be a new species! I want to
get revenge on that gourmet snake!
**[13:34] Kim**
So you'll do an update.
**[13:36] Kan**
Yes.
**[13:37] Shi**
An update?
**[13:39] Kim**
Oh, Shimoda-kun, you don't know yet.
**[13:41] Kan**
It means adding new features
to existing creatures.
**[13:45] Kan**
How about this design?
***SIGN*** Accepted
***SIGN*** Weaver Bird
**[13:48] God**
Update!
**[13:51] Kan**
I'm so happy!
**[13:52] Kim**
Now they won't be easy prey for the snakes.
***SIGN*** More Days Later...
**[13:57] Shi**
Good morning—
**[14:01] Shi**
Wh-What happened to Venus-san?
**[14:04] Mei**
No clue. She's been like that since
she looked down at Earth.
**[14:08] Kim**
Apparently, the situation with
the updated bird is escalating.
**[14:12] Tsu**
The birds enhance their nests.
The snakes redouble their attack intensity.
**[14:16] Tsu**
Rinse, repeat.
**[14:17] Miz**
Want to look?
***SIGN*** Type of Weaver Bird
(Sociable Weaver)
**[14:22] Shi**
It looks like a dungeon.
**[14:25] Kan**
It's not beautiful!
**[14:26] Kan**
And even though they're trying so hard,
the snakes still keep coming.
**[14:31] Kan**
The birdies really do take
after me! They're so brave.
**[14:34] Miz**
You mean insane?
**[14:38] Kan**
That's why I thought of a new bird.
**[14:41] Kan**
Is it possible for me to present
something to the client?
**[14:44] Shi**
Uh, sure.
**[14:45] Shi**
The bird class is also always welcome.
**[14:51] Shi**
God has spoken!

**[14:55] Kan**
Yay!
**[14:55] Miz**
How?!
**[14:57] Miz**
This design has gone off the rails in regard
to both personal resentment *and* taste!
**[15:00] Miz**
Why did the client give this one a pass?
**[15:04] Kan**
Probably because my bird
design is excellent.
**[15:10] Miz**
No, my adorable snake!

**[15:17] Mei**
Its red eyes make it so cute!
Is it poisonous?
**[15:20] Kim**
Nope.
**[15:21] Kim**
The purpose of these red eyes is to flash
them at the enemies to startle them.
**[15:26] Mei**
And while the enemy is hesitating,
they make their escape.
**[15:29] Kim**
They are seriously amazing at running away.
**[15:31] Mei**
I mean, they have the ability to escape
even when they're in the egg!
**[15:35] Mei**
Besides snakes, they can also
sense floods or droughts,
**[15:38] Mei**
and turn into tadpoles early
when they feel imminent danger.
**[15:41] Mei**
The red-eyed tree frog is a natural-born−
No, a pre-birth master of danger mitigation!
**[15:47] Mei**
Jupiter-san, do you like frogs?
**[15:49] Kim**
I do! I mean, they're tasty!
**[15:56] Kim**
I kinda want to eat something tasty.
**[15:59] Shi**
Should we have a coffee break?
**[16:00] Kim**
I don't mean right now.
**[16:03] Shi**
Oh, then I'll make cream puffs
for the next time.
**[16:05] Uma**
Shimoda-kun, you can make pastries?
**[16:08] Kim**
No, what I meant is that
I want to eat a tasty creature.
**[16:13] Kim**
All right! Let's make a tasty animal!
**[16:16] Shi**
H-He's talking like he's about to cook...
**[16:19] Uma**
There goes Jupiter-kun's bad habit.
**[16:22] Kim**
Hey, Shimoda-kun and Neptune-san,
what are you designing?
**[16:26] Kim**
Can I do a taste test?
**[16:28] Uma**
N-Nothing's really done yet!
**[16:30] Kim**
Oh, don't be like that.
Let me see! I can help!
**[16:35] Shi**
Does this always happen?
**[16:37] Kim**
You know, you always treat me
like I'm some weird freak,
**[16:41] Kim**
but the Earth is built on the
principle of the food chain.
**[16:44] Kim**
Taste is very important!
**[16:47] Kim**
Its face is so slim!
**[16:49] Kim**
What kind of creature is this?
**[16:52] Shi**
Neptune-san is currently
working on an order from God.
**[16:56] Shi**
It has to be an animal
that eats tiny amounts.
**[16:58] Uma**
But nothing's settled yet. It's a rough draft!
**[17:01] Hig**
Neptune-san, I finished
that prototype you wanted.
**[17:04] Hig**
Want to go to Galapagos Island?
**[17:06] Shi**
Galapagos Island?
**[17:07] Hig**
It's an island for testing if prototypes
will survive the conditions present on Earth.
**[17:11] Hig**
It's actually on Earth.
**[17:12] Shi**
I've never been to Earth!
**[17:14] Shi**
I would love to go!
**[17:15] Kim**
All right, let's all go have a barbecue!
***SIGN*** Testing Island

various conditions to the island.
**[17:48] Shi**
Wow, even the temperature
and humidity changed.
**[17:52] Hig**
And this is what Neptune-san
asked me to make.
**[17:55] Hig**
It's an animal that eats ants one by one.
**[17:57] Hig**
As requested, I made the tongue long
so it can eat ants from ant hills.
**[18:02] Hig**
If you have any other requests,
now's the time to ask.
**[18:11] Shi**
What is this pose?!
**[18:13] Uma**
A threat! It's agonistic behavior!
**[18:15] Kim**
I like it!
**[18:17] Kim**
It eats ants, and it's not that fast.
**[18:20] Kim**
I think this one's yummy!
**[18:22] Shi**
You can tell just from that?
**[18:24] Kim**
In my experience, most animals that
eat plants or insects are tasty.
**[18:30] Kim**
The less muscle mass they have,
the tastier they are.
**[18:33] Kim**
Yes, I bet this one's delicious!
**[18:36] Shi**
I... I see.
**[18:39] Kim**
That buff lion tasted super horrid.
**[18:42] Hig**
Most carnivores don't taste good.
**[18:44] Kim**
They're more tender if
they have less muscle.
**[18:47] Hig**
The slow animals tend to melt in your mouth.
**[18:50] Hig**
It's because they have more
unsaturated fatty acids.
***SIGN*** Unsaturated Fatty Acids
**[18:53] Shi**
Speaking of, you know how a chicken's
breast and thigh meat taste different?
***SIGN*** Breast
***SIGN*** Thigh
**[18:56] Shi**
That's because they're
different types of muscle.
***SIGN*** Tires Quickly
***SIGN*** Doesn't Tire Easily
**[19:00] Hig**
The chest muscles have
explosive power and tire quickly,
**[19:03] Hig**
while the thigh has endurance muscles
that don't tire so easily.
**[19:06] Hig**
That means the breast meat
ends up being drier.
**[19:09] Kim**
In other words, a marathon runner tastes
better than a 100-meter sprinter.
**[19:14] Shi**
That analogy scares me!
**[19:19] Kim**
Oh, that's the animal I came up with,
the "lively sausage" (a working title).
**[19:25] Shi**
It's literally a sausage, isn't it?
**[19:27] Hig**
I did make it according to your request,
**[19:31] Hig**
but it's got no eyes and no legs,
and doesn't run away.
**[19:33] Hig**
If it's tasty, it's guaranteed to go extinct.
**[19:36] Hig**
Why not give it at least some mobility?
**[19:38] Kim**
Sounds good!
**[19:39] Uma**
Hang on!
**[19:40] Uma**
The reason we from the design
team do taste tests is to add
**[19:45] Uma**
other abilities to make it easier
for the tasty animals to survive!
***SIGN*** Crap!
I'm super delicious!
***SIGN*** I'll hide in
these thorns!
**[19:49] Uma**
And yet here you are, making animals
that are just easy to eat.
**[19:53] Kim**
Don't worry, Neptune-san.
**[19:55] Kim**
This sausage (working title) contains an
alkaloid that many animals dislike.
**[20:02] Kim**
Yes, it's capsaicin!
**[20:05] Uma**
That's...
**[20:06] Shi**
That's what makes chili peppers spicy.
**[20:08] Shi**
So it's just a spicy sausage!
**[20:10] Hig**
So good!
**[20:12] Shi**
When did you...
**[20:13] Hig**
These spicy sausages are the best!
**[20:15] Uma**
Jupiter-kun, capsaicin won't work on birds,
**[20:19] Hig**
so you should probably
add some other poison.
**[20:22] Kim**
Oh, I guess.
**[20:24] Hig**
Well, let's think about it while we eat.
**[20:26] Kim**
Agreed!
**[20:29] Shi**
The flavor is just being
recreated from data.
**[20:32] Shi**
We should keep the food chain in mind, too.
**[20:35] Uma**
Well, then Jupiter-kun must
undeniably be at the top of it.
**[20:39] Kim**
It's really good!
**[20:41] Uma**
This is no good! It needs
to have more defense...
**[20:45] Hig**
Oh boy, you made major
changes to the design.
**[20:49] Hig**
I'll have to remake it, then.
**[20:51] Uma**
I'm sorry.
**[20:52] Hig**
But there's an animal that you
could take notes from. Wanna see?
**[20:57] Kim**
I do! I want to sample it!
**[20:59] Hig**
Hold on.
**[21:02] Kim**
I wonder what it'll taste like.
**[21:04] Shi**
O-On Earth, I guess it's survival of the fittest...
**[21:08] Hig**
Hey, the glyptodont is here.
**[21:22] Shi**
Jupiter-san!
**[21:24] Shi**
God has spoken!

**[21:40] Uma**
The anteater will go into its

**[21:45] Both**
So cute!
**[21:47] Kan**
So it is just cute.
**[21:49] Kan**
The armadillo! It's a relative
of the anteater, right?
**[21:52] Uma**
The ones with the armor are the armadillos,
**[21:54] Uma**
and the ones without are the anteaters.
**[21:56] Kan**
It's in such a nice ball shape.
**[21:58] Uma**
It's really strong this way!
It can even reflect bullets.
**[22:01] Kan**
Amazing! And cute!

What is that?
**[02:07] Shi**
A-An insect!
**[02:08] Kana**
Why is that thing here?! Someone take that
thing to the insect department, now!
**[02:13] Shi**
It's coming this way!
**[02:15] Kan**
No!
**[02:18] Ued**
Oh, you escaped from the insect department,
you naughty thing.
**[02:22] Kim**
Catching something that fast with her bare
hands shows that Ueda-san really is an angel.
**[02:27] Shi**
I can't do that.
**[02:29] Ued**
Shimoda-kun, you haven't been to
the insect department yet, right?
**[02:31] Ued**
It's the door over there.
I'll introduce you.
**[02:34] Shi**
O-Oh, all right.
**[02:36] Shi**
I guess the insect department
will be full of insects.
***SIGN*** Insect Department
**[02:42] Ued**
Hello, everyone.
**[02:45] Ina**
Hey, Ueda-san.
**[02:46] Inb**
Hey, Ueda-san.
**[02:47] Inc**
Oh, Ueda-san!
**[02:48] Ind**
It's Ueda-san!
**[02:49] Ine**
It's Ueda-san!
**[02:50] Ued**
This little dear was outside.
**[02:52] Ina**
We're terribly sorry that you had
to bother yourself with this.
**[02:57] Inb**
We're in the middle of
miniaturizing this guy.
**[03:00] Shi**
You're miniaturizing an insect?
**[03:02] Inc**
Yes, we're going to scale this 70-centimeter
dragonfly down to one tenth of its size.
**[03:06] Shi**
I just realized they have
huge bags under their eyes!
**[03:09] All**
We *will* make it seven centimeters.
**[03:11] Ued**
As always, your technical abilities
are perversely good.
**[03:16] All**
Thank you!
**[03:17] Shi**
*Is "perverse" praise, though?*
**[03:20] Ued**
Now you know where
the insect department is.
**[03:22] Shi**
Yes. I'm not sure if they were
unique or the exact opposite.
**[03:26] Ued**
Our company also has a rock department,
a plant department, and—
**[03:32] Kan**
I-I touched it! It's over...
**[03:35] Shi**
Venus-san?!
**[03:36] Kan**
Ah, if I have to go, I wish I could have
died in bigger, stronger arms...
**[03:42] Ued**
Oh, what a cute yellow frog.
***SIGN*** Poison Dart Frog
**[03:46] Kan**
Don't touch it! It may be small,
but its poison is lethal!
**[03:49] Shi**
Huh? But didn't you
just say you touched it?
**[03:51] Kan**
My vision's going faint.
Please, hold my hand.
**[03:56] Shi**
Venus-san!
**[03:59] Ued**
But the poison...
**[04:00] Mei**
It's fine. This poisonous frog accumulates
poison by eating ants and mites.
**[04:06] Mei**
This one was just made, so it hasn't
eaten anything. It's just a frog.
**[04:10] Shi**
Phew!
**[04:11] Kan**
I was terrified.
**[04:13] Kan**
But now that I look at it,
it has a lovely pattern.
**[04:17] Mei**
Look!
**[04:18] Mei**
See, when the eggs hatch...
**[04:22] Shi**
Oh, it puts its children on its back.
**[04:25] Kan**
Cute!
**[04:26] Ued**
Oh, I wonder where it's going.
**[04:30] Mei**
To a small pool of water with no predators.
**[04:33] Shi**
If it's a small pool of water,
won't these babies lack food?
**[04:37] Mei**
They won't.
**[04:39] Mei**
The eggs that the mother laid are there.
**[04:42] Both**
*Cannibalism?!*
**[04:44] Shi**
W-Wasn't there any other way?
**[04:46] Mei**
Why? Isn't it so cute?
**[04:49] Shi**
C-Cute?
**[04:51] Ued**
God has approved that one,
so it's already on earth.
**[04:55] Ued**
Pluto-chan's specialty is
frogs and other cute things.
**[04:58] Shi**
Cute?
**[05:00] Ued**
That reminds me... A new order
from God came in, right?
**[05:04] Shi**
Ah, right.
**[05:05] Shi**
I believe it was for an animal
that's "cute, but not cute."
**[05:09] Kan**
As always, so vague!
**[05:11] Kan**
I bet this'll be one we have
to redo again and again!
**[05:13] Shi**
I-It'll be fine. God trusts you guys.
**[05:18] Shi**
The word is that "the design is up to you."
**[05:21] Kan**
There has never, ever been a case where the
client said it was up to us and *meant* it!
**[05:26] Kan**
Those abstract requests
are the absolute worst!
**[05:29] Kan**
I swear, the answer is always
"that's not quite it."
**[05:31] Kan**
Don't just drop it on our lap without
even giving it a single thought!
**[05:33] Shi**
I'm s-sorry!
**[05:35] Mei**
I'll do it.
**[05:36] Ued**
Oh, Pluto-chan's going to make
something that's not cute? That's exciting.
***SIGN*** A Few Days Later...
**[05:43] Shi**
Hello.
**[05:44] Shi**
Pluto-san, how's your progress?
**[05:46] Mei**
Good. I came up with something really cute!
**[05:49] Shi**
Oh really? What's it like?
**[05:51] Mei**
Well, it's a thin, long, water-loving
parasite that can take over animals' brains.
**[05:59] Mei**
Then the infected animal walks to the pool
where the parasite lives, and drowns there.
**[06:05] Mei**
That'll be food for the parasite's children.
**[06:07] Shi**
*Th-That's not cute.*
**[06:09] Kan**
Excuse me, Pluto-chan?
The idea is revolutionary,
**[06:13] Kan**
but don't you think that the balance between
cute and not-cute is a bit skewed?
**[06:17] Mei**
I guess I can't just stuff
it full of cute elements.
**[06:21] Kan**
I mean you have to consider
the size problem, too.
**[06:23] Kan**
If it's supposed to infect animal brains,
it has to be really tiny.
**[06:27] Shi**
Oh, if you need to miniaturize it,
how about taking it to the insect department?
**[06:31] Shi**
They might be able to give you some help.
**[06:33] Mei**
I'll go!

Hello. Uh—
**[06:55] Shi**
What's happening in here?
**[06:58] Ued**
Pluto-chan has really hit her stride.
**[07:03] Kan**
I wanted to discuss something with her, too,
but she's been like this the entire time.
**[07:07] Kim**
Her focus is impressive.
**[07:09] Ued**
Please make sure not to interrupt her.
**[07:12] Miz**
Yeah, when she gets like this,
Pluto always creates great stuff.
**[07:16] Mei**
One p•n•s... No, that's not it.
It'll be cooler to have two p•n•ses.
**[07:22] Uie**
Oh, nice idea.
**[07:25] Mei**
Its food will be poison. It'll eat poison.
**[07:28] Mei**
Offspring cannibalizing
each other is old hat.
**[07:31] Mei**
Poop! They'll grow up
eating poop! That's it!
***SIGN*** And then...
**[07:37] Mei**
It's done!
**[07:39] Mei**
Thank you for your help, Neptune-san.
**[07:42] Una**
I'm glad I was able to help.
**[07:44] Shi**
Y-You finished it?
**[07:46] Mei**
Will you come to my presentation?
**[07:49] Mei**
The client's order was
"cute, but not cute."
**[07:52] Mei**
That's why I stuffed it full
of what I find "cute."
**[07:55] Mei**
First, it eats poisonous plants.
It doesn't eat anything else.
**[08:00] Mei**
I borrowed Neptune-san's idea and added the
same pouch function that kangaroos have.
**[08:05] Mei**
But I reversed it, so the baby
can eat their mother's poop.
**[08:10] Mei**
And I made the male's p•n•s
cool by doubling it up.
**[08:15] Ued**
Oh my, that's so cute.
**[08:18] Shi**
My understanding of "cute" is eroding.
**[08:22] Mei**
Its pupils are vertical slits.
**[08:24] Mei**
It has sharp nails on its fingers.
**[08:26] Mei**
And a deathly voice for intimidation.
**[08:29] Mei**
Since all of these elements are very cute,
I made its exterior not cute at all!
**[08:36] Shi**
God has spoken!
**[08:37] God**

With its poison and little nutritional value,
**[08:55] Kan**
eucalyptus is a plant that's trying
to have no appeal as food.
**[08:58] Mei**
Koalas are hardcore and eat only that.
**[09:01] Mei**
If they eat something nobody else eats,
they have no competition.
**[09:05] Kan**
In order to digest that, they have a
lot of microbes in their gut, right?
**[09:09] Mei**
Yes, the reason the children
eat their mother's poop
**[09:12] Mei**
is to inherit the gut microbes
that can digest the eucalyptus.
**[09:16] Mei**
Oh, right, do you want to hear
what a koala sounds like?
**[09:21] Kan**
That's more intense than I expected.
How did it end up like this?
**[09:25] Mei**
Since their food has so few nutrients,
they don't want to move.
**[09:28] Mei**
So they've come to fight
using only their voices.
**[09:31] Mei**
They're already exhausted just
from digesting eucalyptus.
**[09:36] Kan**
This one's really pushing it.
**[09:47] Tsu**
It's so elegant!
**[09:49] Tsu**
A single long and beautiful horn,
added to peerless functional beauty.
**[09:55] Tsu**
This must be what the client wants for their
"animal that has a cool weapon" order!
***SIGN*** Rejected
**[10:04] Tsu**
Why?
**[10:06] Hig**
Osteoporosis.
**[10:07] Shi**
So it didn't collapse due to cerebral
anemia like the long-necked deer.
**[10:11] Hig**
It's a calcium deficiency.
**[10:13] Tsu**
But I just added this
super-cool horn to the horse!
**[10:17] Shi**
Chief Saturn never gives up.
**[10:19] Tsu**
I figured if Jupiter-kun's deer is okay,
the horse would be fine, too.
***SIGN*** Accepted
***SIGN*** Elk
**[10:25] Miz**
Why does only the horse
get osteoporosis, though?
**[10:28] Hig**
The elk has it, too.
**[10:30] Shi**
Really?
**[10:32] Kim**
Yes, but apparently deer are fine because
they're equipped with multiple stomachs.
**[10:37] Kim**
Saturn-san's horse only
has one stomach, so...
**[10:40] Miz**
In other words, the difference
is in nutrient absorption.
**[10:43] Shi**
I see.
**[10:44] Hig**
If you don't have a calcium reserve,
you can't make something this extravagant.
**[10:49] Shi**
It's extravagant?
**[10:50] Hig**
Of course.
***SIGN*** Horse
***SIGN*** Deer
**[10:51] Hig**
Animal bones are like houses

**[10:55] Hig**
Horns are made by borrowing
bricks from the house.
**[10:59] Shi**
Ah, that's why the house
itself is dilapidated.
**[11:03] Hig**
But deer can eat a ton of
food and repair the house.
**[11:07] Hig**
A horse has a weak stomach, so it doesn't
have the energy to repair the house.
**[11:13] Miz**
That example was kind of horrible.
**[11:16] Kim**
There, there...
**[11:17] Shi**
I see, animals with strong
stomachs are robust.
**[11:20] Mei**
Their poop also looks markedly different.
**[11:23] Kim**
Since the deer properly absorb nutrients,
**[11:25] Kim**
their food's original shape
cannot be discerned in their poop.
***SIGN*** Horse
***SIGN*** Deer
**[11:28] Kim**
But with horse poop, that's often possible.
**[11:30] Mei**
Want to see?
**[11:31] Shi**
I'm f-fine.
**[11:33] Hig**
Chief, if you really insist on this horn...
**[11:38] Hig**
how about sticking it on a cow?
**[11:40] Tsu**
No. It's not beautiful! It's only
beautiful because it's on a horse.
**[11:45] Tsu**
Can't you do something, Mars-san?
**[11:48] Shi**
When did he produce this many drafts?!
**[11:50] Hig**
These are just different color variations!
**[11:53] Miz**
But you know, I'd like to see
this horned horse run on earth.
**[11:58] Tsu**
Mercury-kun!
**[12:00] Miz**
How about making the horn hollow, to reduce
the amount of calcium that's needed?
**[12:05] Miz**
Like when Venus was designing the birds.
**[12:07] Tsu**
That's it! Let's prototype that right now!
**[12:12] Tsu**
Beautiful!
***SIGN*** Unicorn
***SIGN*** Rejected
**[12:22] Hig**
It's malnutrition.
**[12:24] Hig**
Looks like it didn't have sufficient
energy to make this huge horn.
**[12:29] Tsu**
It's always lacking something.
**[12:31] Shi**
It's not very efficient, huh?
**[12:33] Hig**
Should we make it a cow-like horse
with multiple stomachs?
**[12:37] Tsu**
No!
**[12:40] Tsu**
I know. Let's make it stupid.
**[12:43] Tsu**
The brain uses vast amounts of energy.
**[12:46] Tsu**
So let's make it stupid and divert
the excess energy to the horn.
**[12:49] Hig**
But...
**[12:50] Miz**
He's really a pursuer of beautiful design.
**[12:52] Miz**
Sometimes you need to make
drastic decisions like that!
***SIGN*** Unicorn

**[13:12] Miz**
It's pretty.
**[13:16] Shi**
Walk back! Backwards!
**[13:18] Kim**
Oh, no, it's pushing more.
**[13:19] Hig**
It's too dumb to know how
to pull out its horn!
**[13:23] Miz**
Watch out!
**[13:30] Shi**
This is no good.
**[13:33] Miz**
Wh-What if we put nerves into the horn?
**[13:36] Miz**
If it can feel it, it'll surely
treat the horn better!
**[13:39] Tsu**
Like teeth?
**[13:40] Miz**
Let's add some resilience, too,
so it doesn't break so easily!
**[13:43] Hig**
And keep it dumb?
***SIGN*** Testing Island

They're not going to fight, are they?

It's fine, oversized weapons like horns
are basically just for intimidation.
**[14:19] Shi**
Um, they're totally fighting.
**[14:30] Hig**
Those horns are too frail
to be waved around like that.
**[14:33] Kim**
Another one's got its horn stuck in a tree.

These antlers can weigh up to 18 kilograms.
**[15:20] Una**
And they regrow every year. That must
consume a ton of energy and calcium.
**[15:25] Miz**
It actually leads to osteoporosis.
**[15:27] Una**
Then why do that?
**[15:28] Miz**
It's like showing off an unnecessarily
big car that's expensive to maintain.
**[15:32] Miz**
They're telling the females
and their rivals that
**[15:34] Miz**
they're so amazing that they can maintain
these unnecessarily big horns.
**[15:38] Unan**
So they can avoid unnecessary fights,
meaning their hard work pays off.
**[15:42] Miz**
What about this horn, though?
**[15:45] Unz**
It looks like a horn,
but it's a really long tooth.
**[15:48] Unz**
It's got nerve endings and can
even sense the temperature.
**[15:51] Miz**
So it's not just a meaningless decoration.

**[16:29] Kan**
So we were all working on these together.
**[16:32] Shi**
But why is there a mix

**[16:34] Kan**
They're just different in size.
Otherwise, dolphins and whales are the same.

I thought that it could maybe
slip by with the others.
**[16:50] Una**
The base for the dolphin
wasn't the horse, either.
**[16:53] Shi**
Oh, then what was it?
**[16:55] Una**
You want to know?

Okay, quiz time!

**[17:02] Una**
C: Hippopotamus.
**[17:03] Shi**
Maybe the seal?
**[17:05] Una**
Too bad! The answer was C, the hippopotamus!
**[17:10] Shi**
Really?
**[17:11] Shi**
It looks quite different, though.
**[17:13] Miz**
I see. The eyes would be injured if they
are in the front when swimming fast,
**[17:17] Miz**
so you moved them to the side?
**[17:18] Una**
Right, and because it's cuter this way.
**[17:22] Una**
And the nose went this way.
**[17:25] Miz**
So the sea water doesn't flow in?
That's groundbreaking.
**[17:28] Una**
Yes, and because it's cuter this way.
**[17:31] Una**
And I took off the ears, too.
**[17:32] Shi**
Hippos can sleep on land, but dolphins
are always under water, right?
**[17:37] Shi**
Won't they sink?
**[17:38] Una**
That's why the brain was tweaked.
**[17:41] Kan**
We made the left and right
hemispheres of its brain independent,
**[17:43] Kan**
so they can take turns sleeping.
**[17:45] Kan**
So that's why they can
sleep without drowning.

So it eats these cute babies I created.

Pluto-san, aren't you

But since Neptune-san's dolphins are smart,
my babies get eaten a lot.
**[18:20] Mei**
I've decided! I'll make them talk, too!
I'll make them smart!
**[18:24] Kan**
You want to equip them
with vocal organs now?
**[18:27] Mei**
What about changing body color,
something like flag signaling?
**[18:32] Kab**
Would that be understood, though?
**[18:33] Mei**
Quiz! What is the meaning of this pattern?
**[18:36] Kan**
I think the testicles are there, so maybe...
**[18:39] Kan**
"I'm incredibly virile!"
**[18:42] Mei**
It worked! Ven-chan, you're amazing!
**[18:45] Mei**
And they show off something larger
than their actual testicles.
**[18:48] Kan**
I guess even squid are vain.
**[18:50] Una**
That's amazing. Pluto-chan can't be beat.
**[18:54] Mei**
They won't lose to dolphins!
**[18:56] Mei**
Squids have three hearts,
giving them more mobility!
**[18:59] Mei**
This way, they can escape into deep water,
where no light penetrates!
**[19:02] Una**
Huh, but... then, um... who cares
that it's deep water?
**[19:06] Una**
The dolphins will use echolocation to find
squid without needing light!
**[19:10] Shi**
Is this a fight?
**[19:11] Hig**
Oh, looks like this will be fun.
**[19:15] Mei**
Animal battle!
**[19:17] Una**
Survival of the fittest!
**[19:18] Shi**
The dolphin is going straight for the squid!
**[19:21] Shi**
But what is echolocation, anyway?
**[19:23] Kim**
Simply put, it's sensing distance and
direction using reflected sound waves.
**[19:28] Mei**
Smoke screen!
**[19:31] Una**
Are you sure squid ink will
do anything in the darkness?
**[19:34] Mei**
Then I'll evolve the smoke screen!
A smoke screen of light!
**[19:39] Shi**
*It's like there are no rules anymore.*
**[19:41] Mei**
And the squid itself will shine, too!
**[19:43] Una**
You're losing your touch, Pluto-chan!
**[19:44] Una**
In the ocean, the shinier you are,
the more visible you are!
**[19:46] Mei**
You're the one losing your touch!
**[19:48] Mei**
Rise up near the surface!
With the sun as the backdrop!
**[19:51] Una**
Wh-What the—?!
**[19:53] Una**
The squid disappeared in the sunlight!?

What's more, it can direct sound so

What is this? It's so cool!
**[02:23] Kan**
This is a dragon!
**[02:25] Kim**
Amazing, huh?
**[02:27] Kan**
This is the first work
of a certain designer.
**[02:30] Miz**
Who did that?! Who summoned that?!
**[02:32] Kim**
Oh, he already realized.
**[02:33] Miz**
Of course I did!
**[02:35] Miz**
Why did you take out an old, failed design?!
**[02:37] Miz**
And seriously, what was
that misleading chant?!
**[02:40] Miz**
Basically, you were just saying,
"Let's bring out an embarrassing failure!"
**[02:44] Kim**
Well, ash is a form of waste.
**[02:46] Shi**
I-I'm sorry. I was told to read
this script to set the mood.
**[02:51] Kan**
I mean, it did feel like a
proper summoning, right?
**[02:53] Miz**
Yeah, some mood that was.
And what's with this star thing?
**[02:57] Miz**
Is it supposed to be a summoning circle?
**[02:58] Kim**
Oh, this? I was just doodling
and thought of a new animal.
**[03:03] Shi**
This was a blueprint?
I'm sorry for stepping all over it!
**[03:06] Kim**
It's fine. Nothing's decided yet.
**[03:09] Miz**
So, why did you bring out the dragon, anyway?
**[03:11] Shi**
Ah, well, God put in an order for something
that "has no wings, but still flies."
**[03:17] Shi**
Then Venus-san and Jupiter-san said
there was a perfect fit in the rejected files.
**[03:21] Miz**
That's no good! Put it away already!
**[03:24] Kim**
But it's so cool.
**[03:26] Kna**
Yeah!
**[03:27] Miz**
That's a stain on my record!
**[03:29] Shi**
A stain?
**[03:31] Miz**
Everybody has one, right?
**[03:33] Miz**
When they're young, they think
that weird stuff looks good!
**[03:37] Miz**
My younger self thought the
dragon design looked super-cool
**[03:40] Miz**
and began obsessing over it,
only to have it be rejected.
**[03:42] Miz**
Put it away already. My inner
younger self is screaming in pain.
**[03:47] Miz**
Don't you feel bad?
**[03:48] Shi**
I-It's that bad?
**[03:50] Kan**
But even though it didn't pass last time,
maybe we can make it happen this time.
**[03:55] Kim**
Yeah, think of it as a test of our skills.
**[03:57] Miz**
You're enjoying doing this to me.
**[04:00] Miz**
You guys have your own shameful stains!
**[04:03] Kim**
How can we make this happen?
**[04:05] Kan**
Making it fly without wings sounds hard.
**[04:07] Shi**
Anyway, I'll put this dragon away for now.
**[04:14] Kan**
How about making it float like a balloon?
**[04:17] Kim**
Then we'd have to fill it with
something lighter than air.
**[04:20] Kim**
How about helium? That's light.
***SIGN*** Helium
***SIGN*** Air
**[04:23] Shi**
Oh, that's the gas that changes
your voice at parties.
**[04:27] Miz**
You say that so casually,
but you'd need something like
**[04:29] Miz**
nuclear fusion happening in the
body to produce helium.
**[04:32] Kan**
If it's about being light,
wouldn't hydrogen work?
**[04:34] Kim**
That's good. Hydrogen makes balloons float, too.
**[04:38] Kim**
Also, microbes in the intestine
can produce hydrogen
**[04:41] Kim**
by fermenting food.
**[04:43] Miz**
So you want to make the
dragon float with farts?
**[04:47] Kan**
But in order to produces enough
gas to make its entire body float,
**[04:51] Kan**
the animal would have to eat a ton of food.
**[04:53] Kan**
Wouldn't it be hard to make it float with
all the food it eats weighing it down?
**[04:57] Kim**
Oh, right.
**[04:59] Kim**
It sounds hard to eat that much, too.
**[05:01] Kim**
And if it's a balloon, its movement
would be dictated by the wind.
**[05:05] Kan**
Let's switch our approach!
Maybe the whole thing doesn't have to fly!
**[05:10] Kan**
We want to make the dragon fly.
**[05:12] Kan**
So we'll just make a body part
that looks like a dragon fly.
**[05:16] Kim**
That's revolutionary!
**[05:17] Kim**
Only someone with countless designs under their
belt could come up with something like that!
**[05:21] Kan**
Oh, it's not all that.
**[05:23] Kim**
But wouldn't it be a shame if the
dragon couldn't float by itself?
**[05:26] Kan**
Then how about making it so that it discards
that piece and runs away when an enemy comes?
**[05:30] Kim**
Ven-chan, you're really on fire!
**[05:34] Kan**
All right, it's done!
**[05:37] Kim**
Wow, that's more original than I imagined.
**[05:40] Kim**
What's the dragon part? Is it the tail?
**[05:43] Kan**
I moved the part that collects the farts out
and made it into a flotation device.
**[05:48] Kan**
If it's not big enough, I figured
the dragon part wouldn't fly,
**[05:51] Kan**
so I made the main body bigger, too!
**[05:53] Miz**
So the dragon part is
basically an abdominal hernia?
**[05:57] Kan**
When an enemy comes, it'll cut off
the dragon part like a lizard.
**[06:02] Kim**
I see! So it'll escape while using
the dragon is the diversion.
**[06:05] Shi**
Is it really okay to make this thing?
**[06:09] Kan**
Do you feel like we're missing
something about the dragon?
**[06:13] Kim**
Let's ask the original designer.
**[06:15] Kim**
Wait, Mercury's gone. Did he go home?
**[06:18] Kim**
Maybe this was too far from his beautiful ideal.
**[06:21] Kan**
He has been influenced quite
heavily by Saturn-san.
**[06:24] Shi**
Oh, really?
**[06:26] Kan**
Really. That's why the dragon
has a bit of a horse face.
**[06:30] Shi**
Oh, I see.
**[06:33] Shi**
Um, about the dragon's mouth...
**[06:36] Shi**
Anatomically speaking,
is that the animal's...
**[06:41] Kan**
It's the anus!
**[06:43] Shi**
I figured. Of course Mercury-san got mad.
**[06:47] Kan**
But this is just what happened when
I really tried to make it work.
**[06:50] Kim**
It's a dream and a sign
of your growth,
**[06:54] Kim**
to have a design from your younger days
reevaluated and accepted.
**[06:57] Shi**
*How serious are these people?*
**[07:01] Shi**
It's so majestic... but it's full of farts.
**[07:06] Shi**
Anyway, is it okay to cut off
a part of the body like that?
**[07:09] Kan**
That's fine! I added a "detach here" feature,
like lizards have with their tails.
**[07:16] Kim**
It's like breaking off
part of a lotus root.
**[07:19] Shi**
Dropping off the intestines is new.
**[07:22] Shi**
What's the reasoning behind
making the body a chicken?
**[07:25] Kim**
Oh, we wanted to make fire come
out of the dragon's mouth.
**[07:28] Shi**
Fire?
**[07:29] Kim**
We arrived at the solution of having it spew
flammable urine that just has to be ignited.
**[07:33] Kan**
That's why I based it on a bird which has
a combined anus and urethra.
**[07:37] Kan**
Isn't it so cool when something
comes out of the mouth?
**[07:40] Shi**
No! I mean, "poop" comes out of there, too!
**[07:42] Shi**
And flammable urine doesn't
sound so easy, either.
**[07:47] Shi**
That ball was in Mercury-san's
original design, too.
**[07:52] Kan**
It's a kidney stone!
**[07:53] Shi**
*Poor Mercury-san.*
**[08:02] Shi**
What was that?
**[08:05] Miz**
Just forget about the dragon.
**[08:08] Miz**
Why did it suddenly explode, though?
**[08:12] Miz**
That was terrifying.
**[08:13] Kim**
Looks like it got hit by
static electricity and exploded.
**[08:17] Kan**
It was filled of hydrogen.
That burns well.
**[08:20] Kim**
Anyway, what was the thing
that just flew by?
**[08:23] Shi**
That seemed like a weird animal.
**[08:26] Miz**
I thought of an animal
that flies without wings.
**[08:29] Miz**
I came up with this...
**[08:30] Miz**
A flying snake!
**[08:32] All**
A snake?!
**[08:33] Kan**
Snakes don't have anything
that makes them fly, right?
**[08:36] Kim**
How does it fly?
**[08:38] Miz**
Let's see it first hand.
**[08:43] Kan**
It's swimming through the air?!
**[08:46] Shi**
But it looks like a normal snake.
**[08:48] Kim**
No, it's no ordinary snake.
**[08:50] Shi**
It's kind of flat?
**[08:53] Miz**
That's right. When it's gliding, it spreads
out its ribs to generate more lift.
**[08:57] Miz**
It can go up to 100 meters horizontally.
It can even change direction midflight!

**[09:40] Kim**
There's no distinction.
**[09:41] Kan**
No distinction between the
head and butt, either?
**[09:44] Kim**
This little one's got the mouth on
the bottom and the anus on top.
**[09:47] Kim**
But it depends on the species.
**[09:48] Kim**
Some poop from their mouths.
Do you want to hear more?
**[09:51] Kan**
I'm good for now.
What's with its organs coming out?
**[09:54] Kim**
The stomach turns inside out, then jumps out!
**[09:57] Kim**
Like this.
**[09:59] Kan**
How can that be good?!
**[10:00] Kim**
They grab their prey with their
stomach and then digest it.
**[10:03] Kim**
That way, they can eat prey that's
bigger than their mouth.
**[10:06] Kim**
Isn't that awesome? I want
to be like that, too.
**[10:09] Kan**
I guess everybody's different.
**[10:17] Hig**
Saturn-san...
**[10:20] Hig**
It's about the seahorse,
where the design passed by itself.
**[10:24] Tsu**
Ah, what about it?
**[10:26] Tsu**
I believe I submitted both
male and female designs.
**[10:29] Shi**
Oh, the little kelpie that was
submitted with the dolphins.
***SIGN*** Accepted
***SIGN*** Seahorse
**[10:33] Hig**
There's a bit of an issue here.
***SIGN*** Father
***SIGN*** Mother
**[10:37] Hig**
The male and female labels are mixed up.
***SIGN*** Female
***SIGN*** Male
***SIGN*** Accepted
**[10:43] Tsu**
This handwriting...
**[10:46] Ken**
My name is Saturn Kenta!
Thank you for taking care of my grandpa!
**[10:52] Shi**
Hello, Kenta-kun! Would you like a cream puff?
**[10:55] Ken**
Thank you!
**[10:58] Tsu**
Anyway, these scribbles...
**[11:00] Tsu**
They make you sense a frightening future.
**[11:02] Tsu**
Just what I expect from my grandson.
**[11:05] Hig**
What are you saying?!
**[11:07] Tsu**
Of course, we'll keep it as-is.
***SIGN*** Idiot
***SIGN*** Grandpa
**[11:09] Tsu**
I can't allow myself to nip
a child's talent in the bud!
**[11:13] Kim**
He's emboldened because the
design was already accepted.
**[11:16] Hig**
But having the male be the mother
and the female be the father
**[11:19] Hig**
is a fundamental contradiction.
**[11:21] Hig**
How are you going to resolve this?
**[11:23] Kim**
Maybe change sexes like clownfish?
**[11:26] Hig**
You're the reinforcements?
**[11:27] Kim**
At first, they're all male, but then the
biggest individual in the school becomes female,
***SIGN*** Female
***SIGN*** Male
**[11:32] Kim**
and then the next biggest one becomes her mate.
***SIGN*** Immature Individuals
**[11:35] Kan**
But isn't that too weak for saying
that the "male is the mother"?
**[11:39] Kan**
It's just "the mother was male at first."
**[11:41] Tsu**
Indeed.
**[11:43] Mei**
Then how about this?
**[11:45] Kim**
Mercury, can you take over for
Shimoda-kun and keep Kenta-kun company?
**[11:50] Kan**
There's a lot we can't
settle without an angel.
**[11:53] Shi**
Oh, right.
**[11:54] Tsu**
Thank you, Mercury-kun.
**[11:56] Miz**
A-All right.
**[12:03] Miz**
My name is Mercury. Nice to meet you.
**[12:09] Miz**
Do you want some coffee?
***SIGN*** Father
***SIGN*** Female
***SIGN*** Mother
***SIGN*** Male
***SIGN*** Accepted
**[12:12] Mei**
It's male even though it's female,
and it's female even though it's male.
**[12:16] Mei**
Isn't it a bit like the footballfish
that was accepted a while ago?
**[12:19] Shi**
Oh, what's that like?
**[12:22] Mei**
The females are way bigger than the males.
***SIGN*** Female
***SIGN*** Male
**[12:25] Mei**
The males approach their beloved female,
bite her, stick to her,
**[12:31] Mei**
melt their bodies, share blood
vessels with the female,
**[12:35] Mei**
melt their brains, and soon
lose consciousness.
**[12:40] Mei**
Then they are reduced to nothing but testicles,
and become organs inside the female!
**[12:44] Mei**
Isn't that so romantic?!
**[12:46] Shi**
That's scary. Downright terrifying!
**[12:49] Kan**
I'm sorry, but you'll have
to get used to it soon.
**[12:51] Tsu**
I-I don't think fusing is quite right.
**[12:54] Kim**
We have to flip male and female somehow.
**[12:58] Tsu**
Then maybe we'll have the males give birth.
**[13:01] Hig**
I-I feel like I heard some nonsense just now.
***SIGN*** Female
***SIGN*** Male
**[13:05] Tsu**
We'll add a pouch for offspring to the males,
and give the female a tube for injecting eggs.
**[13:10] Tsu**
The female inserts the eggs into
the male's body, and the male...
***SIGN*** Suffering
**[13:14] Tsu**
Gives birth!
***SIGN*** Birth
**[13:16] Tsu**
I did it! The male is the mother!
**[13:19] Tsu**
Mars-san, let's try that right away!
**[13:22] Hig**
Yeah, all right...
**[13:25] Kan**
What happened?
**[13:27] Miz**
Well, he said he wanted some coffee.
**[13:30] Ken**
It's so bitter!
**[13:33] Kan**
Even so, why'd you give it to him black?
**[13:36] Shi**
Kenta-kun, what animals do you like?
**[13:40] Ken**
I love horses!
**[13:41] Kan**
He is Saturn-san's grandson.
**[13:44] Ken**
Grandpa made me five of these.
**[13:48] Ken**
They transform, combine, and become a giant!
**[13:51] Ken**
I love this kind of animal!
**[13:57] Mniz**
All right! Let's make the biggest combining
life form in the world for Kenta-kun!
**[14:01] Kan**
Did you hit your head?
**[14:04] Miz**
It just needs to be fine alone,
but also combined.

It'll be a gigantic life form that'll surpass

**[14:40] Miz**
Okay, everyone, will you help me out?
**[14:43] Kan**
What a silly question.
**[14:45] Miz**
I'll start with my creation, the snake!
**[14:48] Kan**
I'll contribute the bird!
With wings, anything will be graceful!
**[14:52] Una**
I'll add the anteater. With this one,
I think it'll add cool claws.
**[14:56] Kim**
Then I'll pitch in the sea cucumber.
**[15:00] Mei**
Then I'll go for the squid!
**[15:05] All**
Combine!
**[15:13] Miz**
It's an evil god!
**[15:15] Shi**
Something unspeakable came out!
**[15:19] Ued**
Delete.
**[15:25] Ued**
I came here because I had a bad feeling.
**[15:29] Ued**
You can't make dangerous things like that.
**[15:33] Ued**
What if it got accepted?
**[15:34] Miz**
Let's seal away that recipe.
**[15:36] Kan**
K-Kenta-kun, are you okay?
**[15:39] Ken**
It was awesome!
**[15:40] ---**
A-Ah, that's a relief.
**[15:42] Tsu**
What was awesome?
**[15:44] Shi**
Have you finished the seahorse?
**[15:47] Tsu**
Yes, look. The father's going
to do his best to give birth!
**[15:51] Ued**
God has spoken!
***SIGN*** Accepted
**[15:52] God**
Accepted!
**[15:54] Shi**
Huh? The seahorse was already accepted.
**[15:58] Hig**
So something else?
**[16:00] Miz**
The jellyfish was accepted,
and the evil god was sealed away.
**[16:03] Mei**
I don't have anything in progress.
**[16:05] Kna**
Me neither.
**[16:07] Kim**
Same.
**[16:08] Una**
Same for me. Then who?
**[16:11] Ken**
I did it!
**[16:13] Ken**
I doodled a lot while
playing in that room!
***SIGN*** Prototype Lab
***SIGN*** Prototype Lab
**[16:19] Shi**
Wh-What kind of animal was accepted?
**[16:31] Una**
Close it! Close it!
**[16:34] Miz**
Wh-What was that? Did we hallucinate?
**[16:37] Kim**
That was super real!
**[16:41] God**
Make that one work, please.
**[16:44] Shi**
He just gave up. He's leaving
it all in your hands.
**[16:48] Kan**
What? I thought he accepted it?
What does he mean, make it work?!
**[16:52] Mei**
I say he accepted it because of the vibe.
**[16:54] Ken**
I'm sowwy!
**[16:56] Kan**
It's not you! We're just mad at our client.
**[16:59] Ued**
Oh, there, there.
**[17:02] Kim**
We can't just leave it in there.
**[17:05] Meid**
Deleting won't work since it's
already accepted, right?
**[17:08] Miz**
A child's doodle is a frightening thing.
**[17:10] Tsu**
I'm only frightened of my grandson's talent.
**[17:12] Miz**
Why not just seal the entire room with it?
**[17:16] Hig**
My tools are still in there.
**[17:19] Hig**
Mercury-san, are you one of those people
**[17:21] Hig**
who doesn't understand that those
are my precious treasures?
**[17:25] Mzi**
I-I'm sorry.
**[17:27] Meid**
If we can't seal it,
should we kill it with poison? Can we?
**[17:30] Una**
We can't just kill it! We don't even
know what kind of animal it is.
**[17:33] Kim**
Hm, how about calming it with a tranquilizer?
**[17:36] Una**
That's good! Moles and their kin can do that.
**[17:41] Una**
Their saliva contains tranquilizing agents that
**[17:43] Una**
put the earthworms they eat
into suspended animation.
**[17:45] Una**
That's so they can stockpile
them underground.
**[17:48] Shi**
That's a good idea.
**[17:49] Hig**
Hold on!
**[17:51] Hig**
To put a creature that size to sleep,
we'd need to make a 300 meter mole!
**[17:56] Kna**
That would definitely only make things worse.
**[17:59] Shi**
Isn't there something we can do?
**[18:01] Kim**
If only we had the design.
**[18:03] Tsu**
Kenta, do you remember what you drew?
**[18:09] Miz**
Then our only choice is to come up with
an animal that can get us the design!
**[18:13] Miz**
Something strong, dexterous, and robust!
**[18:16] Kim**
Let's speed it up by tweaking
something that's already done.
**[18:19] Kan**
It should have a strong body, right?
**[18:21] Una**
Then how about a gorilla?
**[18:24] Miz**
Let's start by making it gigantic.
**[18:34] Shi**
Of course. This always happens.
**[18:37] Hig**
It's heatstroke.
**[18:38] Shi**
Why? It's not hot in here.
**[18:41] Hig**
When you double body size,
body volume doesn't just double.
***SIGN*** Heat Pack
**[18:45] Hig**
Imagine a box with a heat pack in it.
***SIGN*** Heat Pack
***SIGN*** Heat Pack
***SIGN*** Heat Pack
***SIGN*** Heat Pack
**[18:48] Hig**
If you double each side,
how many heat packs will you get?
**[18:50] Shi**
E-Eight... Oh, that's why it's too toasty.
**[18:54] Una**
Cells produce heat, too.
***SIGN*** Warm
***SIGN*** Asian Black Bear
***SIGN*** Brown Bear
***SIGN*** Polar Bear
**[18:56] Una**
The bigger the animal is,
the more heat it produces,
**[18:59] Una**
making it better at enduring the cold.
***SIGN*** Cold
**[19:01] Kim**
That's why animals like bears
are bigger in colder regions.
**[19:05] Shi**
Oh, I see!
**[19:05] Miz**
This isn't the time for chit-chat!
**[19:08] Miz**
We have to enhance this gorilla fast!
**[19:10] Hig**
Shouldn't increasing the surface area
exposed to air cool it better?
**[19:14] Hig**
Like adding big heat sinks.
**[19:16] Miz**
That's it! Let's add a comb!
**[19:19] Hig**
I think that's not sufficient.
**[19:21] Tsu**
How about shaving it, so it's bald?
**[19:25] Shi**
* So when it's not a horse,*
* he doesn't care what it looks like.*
**[19:28] Kan**
I don't really want to make it all smooth.
**[19:31] Kan**
Let's allow him to keep the undies, at least.
**[19:33] Miz**
I think nothing at all would
be better than that.
**[19:35] Kan**
But completely naked from the get go?
**[19:38] Mei**
The gorilla was completely
naked in the beginning.
**[19:40] Una**
Let's add a pattern, then.
**[19:42] Kim**
And some spikes to make it stronger.
**[19:44] Miz**
Okay, it's done!
**[19:46] Shi**
Oh, it's able to stand.
**[19:50] Miz**
Behold, the revised gorilla!
**[19:53] Shi**
*The world's finished.*
**[19:56] Miz**
It collapsed!
**[19:57] Shi**
Can't go without this.
**[19:59] Hig**
Its legs broke.
**[20:00] Hig**
Doubling its height made its
weight go up eight-fold.
**[20:03] Hig**
It's just not sturdy enough.
**[20:04] Kim**
Then let's try making the legs thicker,
and making it a quadruped.
**[20:08] Miz**
It's standing for now, but it seems
that the heat issue's not solved.
**[20:13] Kim**
Should we add more heat sinks?
**[20:14] Una**
It doesn't look like it has
any of the dexterity needed
**[20:17] Una**
to get the design from the lab, either.
**[20:18] Kan**
The undies are weird, too.
**[20:20] Tsu**
If the body's too heavy and we
can't stretch the arms or legs,
**[20:23] Tsu**
why not make the nose longer?
***SIGN*** Elephant
**[20:28] Miz**
Yes, it's done!
**[20:30] God**
Accepted!
***SIGN*** Accepted
**[20:33] Ued**
It brought us Kenta-kun's design in a flash.
**[20:36] Una**
It's smart, it's got a dexterous nose,
and it's cute!
**[20:39] Kan**
Making the ears the heat sink was perfect.
**[20:42] Mei**
I like the change from spikes to tusks, too.
**[20:45] Miz**
This design is bad news!
**[20:49] Miz**
I have no idea what kind
of creature this is!
**[20:51] Miz**
It only has the size written on it!
**[20:54] Shi**
This isn't 30 meters, it's three centimeters!
**[20:58] Ken**
No, it's thirty—
**[20:59] Tsu**
Oh, it was three centimeters.
**[21:02] Shi**
You heard him, God!
**[21:04] God**
Okay!
**[21:12] Mzi**
It's over.
**[21:13] Ued**
We've got a cutie now.
***SIGN*** Hallucigenia
**[21:16] God**

***SIGN*** Accepted
**[21:19] Ken**
This has been upside-down the whole time.
**[21:22] Ken**
The wavy things are the legs,
and the thorns are on the back.
**[21:27] Shi**
Then what's this black stuff here?
**[21:29] Ken**
Poop!
***SIGN*** The Illustrated Guide to Creatures That Really Exist
**[21:32] Ken**
The Illustrated Guide to Creatures
That Really Exist!
**[21:36] Una**
Hallucigenia! Its name means
"creator of hallucinations."
**[21:40] Ued**
So it's a small marine creature.
**[21:43] Ued**
I would have liked to see a big version
of this stomping around on land.
**[21:46] Una**
Then it would have probably
had legs like an elephant.
**[21:49] Una**
The elephant's the ideal manifestation
of a large land animal.
**[21:54] Ued**
The ears are heat sinks, right?
**[21:56] Una**
Instead of panting when it's hot,
they flap their ears.
**[22:00] Ued**
Is there a reason for the wrinkles, too?
**[22:02] Una**
Yes, the wrinkles increase the
surface area of their bodies,
**[22:06] Una**
which helps shed heat.
**[22:08] Una**
Additionally, they also
serve to collect rain.
**[22:10] Ued**
Oh, so having wrinkles helps
moisturize their skin!

Good morning!
**[00:02] Shi**
I hope work's going well for everyone—
**[00:05] Shi**
It's not.
**[00:07] Tsu**
Oh, hello, Shimoda-kun.
**[00:09] Kan**
What's the matter?
**[00:10] Kan**
It's always like this, no?
**[00:12] Shi**
Is it, though?
**[00:14] Kan**
Everybody's stuck right now.
**[00:16] Kan**
Unlike me, they got hit with
some annoying requests.
**[00:19] Kan**
Unlucky for them.
**[00:22] Shi**
Oh, there's an order from God for
you personally, Venus-san.
**[00:27] God**
Order: Make horses fly somehow.
***SIGN*** Heaven's Design Team
**[02:03] Shi**
"When you say horse, you think of Saturn-san,"
**[02:06] Shi**
"but this time I specifically wanted
Venus-san to have a go."
**[02:08] Shi**
"That dragon from the other day was fun."
**[02:10] Shi**
That's what God thinks.
**[02:12] Tsu**
What, you're making a pegasus? I'm jealous.
**[02:16] Shi**
I'm sure it'll get done if everybody
rallies behind you, Venus-san!
**[02:21] Kan**
It won't be that easy.
**[02:23] Kan**
Saturn-san would be crucial,
but he's busy right now.
**[02:27] Tsu**
I have to work with Mars-san
to repair the prototype lab.
**[02:30] Tsu**
I need to do it because my
grandson caused the damage.
**[02:34] Tsu**
But I'm really looking forward
to Ven-chan's pegasus, too!
**[02:37] Kan**
I really don't like this.

Pluto-san seems to be relaxed.
**[02:48] Kan**
It may seem so, but she's the
most stressed-out person here.
**[02:52] Mei**
I haven't heard back from
the client in three days.
**[02:55] Mei**
They said "ASAP," so I worked very hard.
**[02:58] Mei**
But I guess...
**[02:59] Mei**
There was plenty of time.
**[03:02] Shi**
I can put some pressure on God!
**[03:04] Mei**
It's fine.
**[03:06] Mei**
If you act like you're really enthusiastic,
**[03:09] Mei**
it'll come back and punish
you in the future.
**[03:11] Una**
You know what I got?
**[03:13] Una**
"An animal that runs even
though it has no legs."
**[03:17] Una**
To make it worse, I'm supposed
to make three proposals.
**[03:21] Una**
Lately, we only get orders
that are like riddles.
**[03:25] Kim**
I want something sweet.
**[03:27] Miz**
I want a homemade caramel custard,
where the caramel is slightly bitter.
**[03:30] Kim**
Why did you bring up such a
specific treat just now?
**[03:30] Shi**
* I had the impression that designers*
* are always doing fancy work,*
**[03:34] Shi**
*but I guess I was totally off!*
**[03:38] Shi**
Venus-san, I got some additional input.
**[03:40] Shi**
He said: "You can do what you like!"
**[03:43] Shi**
God must really trust your designs!
**[03:46] Kan**
No!
**[03:47] Kan**
That just means he'll leave it all to me
and only give it some thought when it's done!
**[03:50] Kan**
This is how you end up in Hell!
**[03:52] Kan**
We already know what the problems are,
so maybe I just need to go in headfirst.
**[03:57] Shi**
S-So many muscles!
**[03:59] Shi**
And so much horse poop!

Isn't he so fit?
**[04:09] Shi**
I'll just send this to God, then. And... send!
**[04:13] Kan**
I can rest until we hear back, then.
**[04:16] Shi**
Oh, I already got a reply.
**[04:18] Kan**
Already?!
**[04:21] Shi**
I'll just say what he said directly.
**[04:23] Kan**
What? I'm scared...
**[04:25] Shi**
"That's not quite it," he says.
**[04:28] Kan**
What?
**[04:29] Shi**
"I wanted something more surprising,
not the same thing."
**[04:32] Shi**
"Let your originality run wild,

**[04:36] Kan**
See, there it is!
The "I'll reconsider after seeing it" spiel!
**[04:39] Kan**
Say what you want from the beginning!
**[04:43] Shi**
I don't think shouting here will reach him.

That's why I'm doing it!

**[04:54] Shi**
Those are some cool lines.
**[04:56] Shi**
Exceptional!
**[04:57] Kan**
I gave it less muscle mass
to reduce its overall weight.
**[05:02] Kan**
It can't take off from the ground,
**[05:04] Kan**
but if it jumps off a cliff and
rides the air currents, it can fly.
**[05:08] Shi**
That's so original!
**[05:10] Shi**
I sent it. I'm sure he'll like this one!
**[05:14] Kan**
I hope so.
**[05:18] Shi**
Can I say it?
**[05:19] Kan**
You already got a reply?
**[05:22] Kan**
I already have a bad feeling, but go ahead.
**[05:26] Shi**
He says: "You don't have to stick
to the horse part. Small is okay, too."
**[05:31] Kan**
Why didn't he tell me that beforehand?!
**[05:34] Kan**
I'll go and start from scratch...
**[05:37] Shi**
G-Good luck.
**[05:40] Shi**
God, this is too much.
**[05:42] Shi**
Please be more understanding

This is the ultimate final proposal
for the revised pegasus!
**[06:03] Kan**
What do you say about this?!
**[06:05] Shi**
It's so pretty!
**[06:06] Kan**
I worked off the image of a flower fairy.
**[06:09] Kan**
Since I made the arms into petal-like wings,
**[06:12] Kan**
it can disguise itself as a flower.
**[06:14] Shi**
Wow.
**[06:15] Kan**
For food, it drinks nectar.
What do you think?
**[06:18] Shi**
I like it! I'll send it now.
**[06:27] Shi**
May I say it?
**[06:29] Kan**
Please.
**[06:31] Shi**
"The previous hellish iteration was better."
**[06:34] Shi**
"Use a radial design, and don't make
it colorful," he said.
**[06:39] Kan**
The previous iteration?
**[06:41] Kan**
What's with the technical
jargon all of the sudden?
**[06:44] Shi**
I'm sorry! It's because I had
to open my big mouth to God.
**[06:48] Shi**
I asked him to be more understanding
of the work you designers do.
**[06:51] Shi**
I thought he did that, but he's
still just as unreasonable.
**[06:56] Kan**
It's fine. You said it because
you wanted to help us, right?
**[07:00] Kan**
The client's at fault here.
**[07:06] Una**
I can't think of anything.
**[07:08] Una**
Ven-chan, can I see yours
to take my mind off things?
**[07:11] Kan**
Sure.
**[07:12] Kan**
We've all got it rough, huh?
**[07:16] Kan**
So, go back to the previous
iteration with the bony design,
**[07:18] Kan**
make the face shorter, too,
and reduce the equine quality.
**[07:22] Kan**
You know, while I'm at it,
I'll get rid of the leg muscles.
**[07:26] Kan**
It's done!

This is the ultimate final proposal

**[07:35] Kan**
Forever-chan hangs from high places,
**[07:38] Kan**
then uses the momentum
of its fall to take flight.
**[07:40] Kan**
This way it can be light.
**[07:43] Shi**
That's so interesting!
**[07:44] Una**
So it spends its time hanging.
**[07:47] Una**
Do you want to add the echolocation that
dolphins have, so it won't bump into things?
***SIGN*** Dolphin Echolocation
**[07:52] Kan**
That's good! And for food...
**[07:55] Mei**
From the way it looks, it should suck blood.
**[07:58] Kan**
Nectar.
**[08:00] Mei**
It would be cuter if it sucked blood.
**[08:02] Kan**
N-Next time.
**[08:04] Shi**
I'll send this off right away.

**[08:31] Kan**
Oh no, I forgot to delete that!
**[08:33] Kan**
There are two sets of teats!
**[08:35] Kan**
Nothing will come out of the
ones that are on top to us.
**[08:38] Shi**
The design already got accepted, though.
**[08:42] Kan**
I'm done. Leave it.
**[08:44] Kan**
The other ones are... something the baby can

**[08:57] Tsu**
What is better at flying? These or birds?
**[09:00] Hig**
I think the bats.
**[09:02] Hig**
Unlike birds, which use
their entire arm to fly,
***SIGN*** Bat Wing
***SIGN*** Thumb
***SIGN*** Index Finger
***SIGN*** Middle Finger
***SIGN*** Ring Finger
***SIGN*** Little Finger
***SIGN*** Bird Wing
**[09:04] Hig**
bats spread their fingers to make a wing.
**[09:07] Hig**
Fingers allow for more fine-tuned control.
**[09:12] Tsu**
That just goes to show that the
horse is the most supreme animal.
**[09:15] Hig**
The horse has nothing to do with this!
**[09:17] Hig**
...is what I'd like to say, but in
reality, in terms of animal orders,
**[09:21] Hig**
bats are close relatives of horses.
**[09:24] Tsu**
There are bats that are
basically horses. See?
**[09:27] Hig**
That one's just got an elongated
face to have a louder voice.
**[09:30] Hig**
Looking like a horse is just a coincidence.
**[09:45] Miz**
What's up with Venus?
She's dressed to the nines.
**[09:49] Shi**
She seems very enthusiastic.
**[09:51] Kan**
This time my order is for
"a bird that's like a gem"!
**[09:54] Kan**
You can't lift your mood
if everything looks drab.
**[09:57] Kan**
Look at these opals. Aren't they gorgeous?!
**[10:00] Kan**
What do you think about a bird that
shimmers with rainbow colors like this?
**[10:03] Miz**
If you keep being so confident—
**[10:08] Shi**
Ah, yes? All right, understood.
**[10:11] Shi**
You got a follow-up order. God would
like to see "a bird that makes gems."
**[10:17] Kan**
I did make birds feel attracted to
shiny things, but making gems?
**[10:23] Kan**
You can have one of these if you help me.
**[10:26] Miz**
Keep them. I don't understand gems.
**[10:28] Kan**
That's right. This place is lacking
in romance *and* romanticism.
**[10:33] Miz**
What's that "opal" rock made of?
**[10:37] Hig**
Opal is silicon dioxide. It's a mineral
formed from silica dissolved in water.
**[10:41] Miz**
Silica... Ah, like in those
desiccants they put in cracker bags!
**[10:46] Kan**
Don't say that! That's so unromantic!
**[10:49] Hig**
Anyway, I made that rainbow-colored
bird you asked me to make.
**[10:54] Miz**
A bird that flashy will be easy prey.
**[10:56] Kan**
It'll be just fine!
**[10:59] Kan**
It's so small it can land here,
weigh about this much,
**[11:03] Kan**
and it's very fast.
**[11:05] Kan**
So? You think it'll be attractive food?
**[11:09] Miz**
I see.
**[11:10] Miz**
Compared to the effort it takes to catch it,
it's got too little nutritional value.
**[11:13] Kan**
Exactly! So nothing to worry about!
**[11:16] Kan**
Mars-san, let me see, please!
**[11:17] Hig**
About that... I made it, but it
doesn't have enough energy.
**[11:22] Hig**
It's so small, it can't maintain
its body temperature.
**[11:24] Kan**
But I managed to make it sparkle!
**[11:27] Miz**
Do you give up?
**[11:29] Kan**
O-Of course not! I'll make it work somehow!
**[11:33] Kan**
If it gets too cold, it should just eat.
**[11:35] Kan**
Something it can consume
in large quantities,
**[11:37] Kan**
is easy to digest,
and is also high in calories.
**[11:46] Kan**
Ah, nectar! That's romantic,
and it's very nutritional.
**[11:50] Kan**
But since I reduced its leg muscles,
**[11:53] Kan**
it doesn't have the strength
to walk along branches,
**[11:56] Kan**
nor the power
to tear apart the petals.
**[11:59] Kan**
It's ephemeral and cute,
but that's not enough!
**[12:03] Kan**
Should I make it hover like a bee,
and have it drink directly?
**[12:06] Kan**
But then these traditional
bird wings won't do.
**[12:09] Kan**
I have no choice. I'll go
ask the insect department.
**[12:13] Kan**
Ow!
**[12:14] Shi**
Venus-san!
**[12:16] Miz**
That's what happens when you
try to rush in shoes like those.
**[12:19] Miz**
Putting on too many accessories
is also dangerous.
**[12:21] Kan**
That may be true,
but don't deny me my looks.
**[12:25] Kan**
I'm not me if I don't look like this!
**[12:28] Kan**
That's the same for the
animals we're creating!
***SIGN*** Insect Department
**[12:33] Guya**
How does a bee fly, you ask?
***SIGN*** Bird
***SIGN*** Up

***SIGN*** Bee
**[12:38] Guyb**
The bee moves its wings back and forth,
creating a vortex in the air that lets it fly.
***SIGN*** Back and Forth
**[12:43] Guyc**
This design is more suited for hovering in midair,
rather than always moving forward.
**[12:47] Kan**
I see. Since it's a small, light bird,
it might be able to copy that.
**[12:51] Guyd**
If you include this ability,
it won't just be able to hover!
**[12:54] Guyd**
It'll also be able to fly...
**[12:56] Guyd**
Backwards!
**[12:59] Kan**
Yay, it flies!
**[13:02] Shi**
It's able to drink the nectar, too!
**[13:04] Hig**
Yeah, but since it needs to eat to live,
I don't think it'll survive the night.
**[13:09] Hig**
If it falls asleep, it'll die.
**[13:10] Shi**
If it sleeps, it'll die?!
**[13:11] Kan**
Oh, right! What should we do?
**[13:14] Miz**
Why not make it hibernate?
**[13:16] Kan**
Just for the night,
**[13:17] Kan**
make it lower its heart rate and
body temperature, like during hibernation.
**[13:21] Hig**
That might let us slow its metabolism
while sleeping to less than 10%.
**[13:25] Hig**
That'll work!

**[13:40] Miz**
I take pride in my own style.
**[13:44] Miz**
You're the same, right?
**[13:45] Miz**
It's only natural that
I feel compelled to help.
**[13:49] Miz**
By the way, since you were struggling
so much with that one,
**[13:53] Miz**
I finished the other one.
**[13:56] Hig**
Let me see... the bird that makes gems?
**[13:59] Miz**
Will this work?
**[14:00] Hig**
Yeah, that's simple.
**[14:04] Miz**
Let me present it to you.
**[14:06] Miz**
Doubling down on Venus's base setting
that birds like shiny things,
**[14:11] Miz**
this bird eats raw diamonds.
**[14:15] Kan**
Birds don't have teeth,
**[14:17] Kan**
so they swallow pebbles to store in their gizzards,
which are located in the back of the stomach.
***SIGN*** Gizzard
**[14:20] Kan**
They use them to crush the food they eat.
**[14:22] Shi**
S-So it's a diamond gizzard?
**[14:26] Kan**
But won't it not be able to fly
if it eats rocks that big?
**[14:29] Miz**
Exactly. That's why I made it flightless.
**[14:32] Miz**
I made its legs stronger, so it can protect
itself from enemies by kicking and dashing.
**[14:36] Miz**
The raw diamonds it swallowed
will tumble
**[14:39] Miz**
in the back of its stomach
for years, eventually becoming
**[14:42] Miz**
fully-polished gems.
**[14:44] Miz**
These gems are made—
**[14:46] Miz**
by this bird!
**[14:49] Kan**
What is this?! It's looks
scrawny and has no grace!
**[14:52] Kan**
Why does this bird not have feathers?!
That's not beautiful!
**[14:54] Miz**
It doesn't need them, since it doesn't fly.
**[14:56] Kan**
That's so unromantic!
**[14:57] Kan**
Birdies need to be more like this.
**[14:59] Kan**
Big eyes and eye lashes!
**[15:02] Kan**
And luxurious feathers on the body!
**[15:03] Miz**
Stop it!
**[15:04] Miz**
You're ruining the beauty of its utility!
**[15:06] Kan**
Let go!
**[15:10] Shi**
God has spoken!
**[15:11] God**
Accepted!
***SIGN*** Accepted
***SIGN*** Ostrich
**[15:16] Kan**
It's not beautiful.
**[15:18] Miz**
It's inefficient.
**[15:19] Both**
That's not the design I wanted.
**[15:22] Kan**
The client was happy, though.
**[15:25] Kan**
We did well.
**[15:27] Miz**
You're right. The result was good.
**[15:31] Kan**
So, which gem do you want as a reward?
**[15:33] Kan**
If there's someone you want to
give it to, I'll help you pick.
**[15:38] Miz**
The diamond will do.
**[15:42] Miz**
I'll give it to Mars-san.
**[15:45] Hig**
Wh-What? For me?
**[15:48] Hig**
Are you sure?
**[15:49] Miz**
Of course.
**[15:51] Miz**
You were looking for a lens material
with a high refractive index.
**[15:54] Hig**
Thank you! This is a perfect lens
to focus my laser beams.

this is called structural color.

**[16:19] Guyb**
This has been a message from the insect department!

**[16:23] Guyb**
This is also structural color.
**[16:25] Guyb**
When you tilt it, it shimmers
with rainbow colors, right?
**[16:27] Guya**
It's basically emitting color by
stacking blocks that reflect light.
**[16:32] Guyb**
Please look at this creature,

**[16:45] Ued**
Good morning, everyone—
**[16:48] Ued**
Huh?
**[16:49] Ued**
Oh, my!
**[16:54] Ued**
Are you all part of an
avant-garde art exhibition?
**[16:58] Shi**
We're supposed to be playing hide-and-seek.
**[17:01] Ued**
In clothes that stand out so much?
**[17:03] Shi**
Saturn-san, it's not possible...
**[17:05] Shi**
Your striped horse thing, I mean.
**[17:07] Tsu**
No, wait.
**[17:10] Tsu**
Even if an angel like Ueda-san can see us,
**[17:13] Tsu**
maybe animals won't be
able to spot us so well.
**[17:16] Miz**
It might be good camouflage against
predators that crouch in the undergrowth
**[17:19] Miz**
and attack their prey from there.
**[17:22] Miz**
Shimoda-kun, crouch down there!
**[17:25] Shi**
A-All right!
**[17:26] Tsu**
Venus-kun, put these on.
**[17:29] Tsu**
Those are glasses that
let you see like a lion.
**[17:33] Shi**
How is it? Am I hidden?
**[17:35] Kan**
You're highly visible.
**[17:37] Kim**
Maybe we need to move around?
**[17:39] Kna**
Somehow, you're even more visible.
**[17:41] Kna**
It's like, do these guys
not value their lives?
**[17:45] Ued**
What are you all doing?
**[17:47] Mei**
The client put in an order that said
"make more stripey animals."
**[17:52] (Flashback) Tsu**
All right! Let's make a horse,
a stripey horse!
**[17:55] Mei**
That's why we're all thinking about it.
**[17:57] Mei**
But we couldn't figure out any reasons
to put stripes on a weak animal.
**[18:01] Una**
Here.
**[18:03] Una**
How about an animal that's
cooled by the stripes?
**[18:08] Una**
When hit by the sun, the white parts and the
black parts will have different temperatures.
***SIGN*** Warm air rises
**[18:12] Una**
That will cause air to flow,
which could help with cooling?
***SIGN*** Temperature difference

**[18:17] Kan**
Is that outfit making you cooler right now?
**[18:19] Una**
Not at all.
**[18:21] Shi**
Could it be that Neptune-san hasn't slept?
**[18:23] Mei**
He got an order from the client for
"like a carnivore, but it's an herbivore."
**[18:27] Mei**
He hasn't slept for two days now.
**[18:29] Miz**
You don't have to force yourself
to join this stripey business.
**[18:31] Una**
It's fine. It's a good distraction.
**[18:34] Una**
Maybe I should just make the animal
I'm working on stripey, too.
**[18:39] Una**
That's it!
**[18:42] Una**
If I use the power of gut bacteria,
**[18:44] Una**
I can easily make a "carnivore" that
can get nutrients from plants.
**[18:48] Una**
But since it won't have a lot
of energy, it can't move very fast.
**[18:52] Una**
That's why I thought it should live in high
altitudes where there are few enemies,
**[18:55] Una**
but it snows there.
**[18:58] Una**
It can't accumulate enough
energy for hibernation...
**[19:00] Una**
Not to mention having enough reserves to
grow in a winter coat fit for snow.
**[19:04] Una**
The way to resolve that is stripes,
or black-and-white!
***SIGN*** White for camouflage in the snow
**[19:08] Una**
White for blending into the snow!
Black for blending in during the summer!

**[19:27] Kim**
We're done.
**[19:29] Miz**
Chief, should we give up
on the stripey horse?
**[19:31] Tus**
Hm...
**[19:33] Una**

**[19:36] Shi**
Thank you.

**[19:40] Kim**
Neptune-san, you're amazing.
**[19:43] Una**
Oh, it wasn't so—
**[19:45] Kan**
What is it?
**[19:46] Una**
No, it just looks like this boy's...
**[19:52] Kan**
What's going on?
**[19:57] Shi**
Oh, no! Another design was stuck to it!
**[20:01] Shi**
It was for the starfish!
**[20:03] Kan**
Starfish?
**[20:04] Kan**
What are the characteristics of a starfish?!
**[20:06] Kim**
It doesn't have a brain.
**[20:07] Kim**
Instead, it has receptors
on its feet for smelling,
**[20:10] Kim**
and when it has detected prey,
it moves toward that smell.
**[20:14] Kim**
Incidentally, starfish are carnivores, too.
**[20:15] Kan**
No! It's coming this way!
**[20:18] Kim**
Ven-chan, you're scared so easily.
**[20:21] Kan**
You're just touching it?!
**[20:22] Kim**
It's fine.
**[20:27] Kan**
It's multiplying?!
**[20:29] Kim**
The base is a starfish, after all.
**[20:31] Shi**
When you try to catch them, their hair
comes out, and they multiply even more!
**[20:34] Shi**
And they're scary!
**[20:37] Ued**
This isn't good. We have to do something.
**[20:41] Una**
It's because I didn't check properly.
**[20:43] Shi**
No, it's because I didn't check!
**[20:45] Miz**
What are we going to do with these?!
**[20:47] Kan**
It's all over!
**[20:50] All**
We're doomed!
**[20:53] Tsu**
You can relax!
**[20:56] Tsu**
These are tsetse flies,
which transmit sleeping sickness.
***SIGN*** Tsetse Fly
**[20:59] Tsu**
They sting areas that are uniform in color.
**[21:02] Tsu**
They should attack the pandas, since they
have wider bands than your clothes.
**[21:06] Tsu**
Just stay put.
**[21:09] Shi**
Stay put?
**[21:12] Miz**
This is like a painting of Hell.
***SIGN*** They fell asleep
**[21:24] Kan**
For a moment, I had lost hope.
**[21:27] Shi**
What a great idea to use tsetse flies.
**[21:31] Tsu**
Since we proved that it's less
likely to be stung by flies,
**[21:34] Tsu**
can we give this horse a pass?
**[21:36] Shi**
*That was great, but the horse again?*
**[21:39] Shi**
God has spoken!
**[21:41] God**
Accepted!
***SIGN*** Accepted
***SIGN*** Zebra
**[21:43] Bothl**
Hooray!
**[21:45] Una**
I thought it wouldn't work
on those mystery animals,
**[21:48] Una**
but they fell asleep quite easily.
**[21:50] Ued**
Oh, that's because I cursed them.
**[21:53] Ued**
C-Cursed? Are angels allowed to do that?
**[21:57] Ued**
Should I not have?
**[22:01] God**

Ueda is going to Hell!

Wh-Wh-What should we do?!
**[00:32] Shi**
It's my fault this happened to Ueda-san!
**[00:34] Una**
No, it's my fault.
**[00:36] Kan**
Angels are demoted to Hell
when they use a curse?!
**[00:40] Kim**
It's like the epitome
of divine punishment.

**[02:30] Tsu**
Ueda-san, should we submit our invoice
for last week's request now?
**[02:36] Miz**
Do you think Ueda-san really got demoted?
**[02:39] Tsu**
The pandas were our fault, not Ueda-san's.
**[02:43] Tsu**
I'll reach out to upper management.
**[02:45] Kan**
We relied on Ueda-san much
more than we realized, huh?
**[02:49] Kim**
It's like that tingling sensation is absent.
**[02:51] Una**
Something's missing for sure.
**[02:57] Una**
O-Oh, we're not saying any
of this to put you down!
**[03:00] Shi**
I know, I really do!
**[03:03] Shi**
Here you go. I made some cream puffs.
**[03:06] Shi**
I'll go make some tea to go with them!
**[03:11] Shi**
What should I do?
**[03:13] Shi**
Ueda-san's angel communicator
says she doesn't have a signal.
**[03:18] Shi**
If Ueda-san doesn't come back...
**[03:20] Shi**
No, even by myself, I need
to do the best I can!
**[03:35] Shi**
Are you all right?!
**[03:37] Kan**
A skull?! The grim reaper!?
**[03:44] Shi**
An insect?!
**[03:46] Shi**
I can't do this after all!
**[03:48] Shi**
Ueda-san!
**[03:51] Ued**
Did you call for me?
**[03:53] Ued**
Did another prototype escape
from the insect department?
**[03:58] Ued**
You're quite a big moth.
***SIGN*** Prototype
**[04:00] Ued**
The skull pattern on your back is lovely.
**[04:03] Shi**
Ueda-san?!
**[04:06] Ued**
That "expulsion" was not a demotion,
it was a business trip.
**[04:10] Ued**
God did ask me why I used a curse,
**[04:13] Ued**
but when I explained that it was necessary
to prevent work-related deaths.
**[04:15] Ued**
He didn't reprimand me.
***SIGN*** Hell

**[04:18] Shi**
I'm so glad!
**[04:20] Ued**
I hadn't told you about that yet.
Sorry for making you worry.
**[04:24] Miz**
Who knew that lightning bolt was simply
a way to move around when time is short?
**[04:28] Una**
That was bad for my heart.
**[04:30] Ued**
You know there's that new
venture called "Hell"
**[04:32] Ued**
that one of the companies associated
with Heaven is starting, right?
**[04:35] Ued**
The project lead there took
a liking to the pandas,
**[04:38] Ued**
and wanted to see some material,
so I was instantly summoned.
***SIGN*** Hell
**[04:41] Mei**
So you really did go to Hell.
**[04:47] Yok**
That infinitely-multiplying
panda was truly marvelous.
**[04:51] Ued**
Oh?
**[04:52] Yok**
I would like to create a
creature based on that idea,
**[04:55] Yok**
something that can move even
without a brain, the "zombie."
**[04:58] Yok**
I am sure that it will bring
calamity and fear to the world!
**[05:03] Kan**
Um, may I ask who you are?
**[05:05] Yok**
I am the child of darkness
born from the soil.
**[05:08] Yok**
Oh, pardon me.
**[05:11] Yok**
My name is Yokota. I recently
transferred from Heaven to Hell.
**[05:15] Yok**
I used to work for Ueda-san.
**[05:17] Yok**
I am currently working on a
"theme park of darkness and flame."
**[05:21] Yok**
This is what it will look like.
**[05:23] Shi**
It's the exact opposite of Heaven.
**[05:26] Yok**
It'll be a fun place where you can
have a taste of anguish and rage,
**[05:29] Yok**
agony and sloth, thrills and adventure!
**[05:32] Shi**
I-I see.
**[05:35] Shi**
* He has a scary appearance,*
* but he seems dedicated to his work.*
**[05:38] Kan**
So those flames are always
burning underground?
**[05:40] Kan**
Won't they run out of oxygen?
**[05:42] Kim**
If there's no sunlight, plants can't grow,
so there'll be no food, either.
**[05:47] Mei**
What do these happy gorilla-like
beings eat? Each other?
**[05:52] Yok**
As expected, you professionals
ask the tough questions!

**[05:57] Yok**
Since this is what it'll
look like, we're fine.
**[06:00] Yoko**
Since we can grow foodstuffs on the outside,
**[06:03] Yoko**
we will have enough food for our cast.
**[06:05] Kan**
It looks like it's different than
the Earth we do our work for.
**[06:09] Yok**
The reason I came by today was
not just because I wanted to
**[06:13] Yok**
buy the zombie idea off of you,
but because I have another request.
**[06:17] Yok**
I would like you to design a mascot for
the entrance of our company's theme park.
**[06:22] Yok**
This is a drawing of what I had in mind!
**[06:25] Shi**
A new request?
**[06:27] Yok**
Yes.
**[06:28] Yok**
Something so flashy that the screams
of the souls just gush forth,
**[06:31] Yok**
and so big that it could
devour us all in one bite!
**[06:34] Tsu**
If it's that big, the design
will be limited by gravity.
**[06:39] Yok**
No, please feel free to let your desires
run free, and prioritize form over function.
**[06:45] Yok**
In Hell, we can freely adjust
gravity and oxygen levels,
**[06:49] Yok**
so we'll adjust those to the animal.
**[06:52] Miz**
But this is...
**[06:56] Yok**
Oh, I'm sorry!
**[06:58] Yok**
I shouldn't have dared show my
drawing to professional designers!
**[07:02] Kim**
That's not it.
**[07:05] Una**
The appearance...
**[07:07] Kan**
The purpose...
**[07:08] Mei**
The size...
**[07:09] Miz**
To have so much actual data...
**[07:11] Kim**
...in a request is so nice!
**[07:13] Tsu**
Let's give it our best shot!
**[07:15] All**
Yeah!
**[07:16] Yok**
Huh? Yes! Thank you so much!
**[07:19] Tsu**
Then please observe the internal competition
between the very best designers on our team.
**[07:25] Ued**
The request is for "Hell's mascot."
**[07:29] Tsu**
Then we, Team A, will go first.
**[07:32] Una**
Just to confirm, this is an
animal with three heads, right?
**[07:36] Yok**
Yes! If possible, it should be so terrifying
and awesome that it chills your blood!
**[07:42] Kan**
We'll use the wolf that Saturn
came up with before as a base.
**[07:45] Kan**
Let's send it over to Mars-san right away!
**[07:49] Hig**
Here, it's done.
**[07:53] Yok**
It's so cool! It's just
overflowing with dignity!
**[08:00] Shi**
The falling-over trope again.
**[08:01] Shi**
It's bad for my heart, no matter
how many times I see it.
**[08:05] Hig**
Since each head wants to go
in a different direction,
**[08:08] Hig**
the legs get mixed up.
***SIGN*** Brain
***SIGN*** Fakes
**[08:09] Una**
Then how about moving the brain
here and making the heads fake?
**[08:15] Hig**
I can't really recommend removing
the brain from the head.
**[08:19] Hig**
The optic and vestibulocochlear nerves
would be more likely to get damaged.
**[08:23] Yok**
Excuse me.
**[08:23] Hig**
Yes?
**[08:24] Yok**
As the client, I don't like that, either.
**[08:27] Yok**
I want to jump into a whirlpool of desire,
and pet each good boy's head.
**[08:31] Yok**
That won't work if it's actually
just one good boy.
**[08:34] Yok**
The dream is to have multiple good boys!
**[08:36] Yok**
I want to pet each good boy's head in turn,
each with his own personality!
**[08:39] Hig**
Then let's prioritize the middle
good boy's will for movement.
**[08:44] Hig**
It's fixed!
**[08:48] Shi**
They're walking straight now!
**[08:50] Yok**
So cool.
**[08:52] Una**
Let's try feeding them.
**[08:57] Una**
That's a good appetite!
**[09:04] Una**
I put enough for one meal in there.
**[09:07] Una**
They want to eat three meals' worth.
**[09:12] Tsu**
Wolves do not have a good
sense of fullness,
**[09:15] Tsu**
so they'll keep eating to their limit.
**[09:16] Tsu**
The upside is that they
are very good at fasting.
**[09:18] Kan**
They'll get fat for sure, though.
**[09:21] Una**
They might become round good boys,
just like the panda.
**[09:24] Yok**
Th-That would be cute, but still...
**[09:28] Kan**
Since they're a mascot,
they don't need to hunt, right?
**[09:31] Kan**
Maybe they should have a
hobby besides eating.
**[09:33] Shi**
Hobby?
**[09:34] Kan**
Playing instruments... is out,
but maybe they could listen to music.
**[09:38] Yok**
Sounds good!
***SIGN*** Hardcore Slash Metal Hip Hop
**[09:40] Kan**
If we let them listen to a wide selection
of genres, they might develop a preference.
**[09:49] Una**
What's happening?
***SIGN*** Break Up
**[09:51] Shi**
They're breaking up!
**[09:52] Shi**
Apparently they're splitting up because
of their different tastes in music.
**[09:55] Kan**
Come on, get along!
**[09:58] Kim**
Looks like you're struggling, Team A.
**[10:02] Kim**
This is what we came up with!
**[10:07] Shi**
It's flying!
**[10:08] Yok**
Awesome! Its appearance is just
brimming with murderous intent!
**[10:12] Kim**
If the gravity is low,
this design allows it it to fly.
**[10:15] Kim**
We based the head on the crocodile.
**[10:17] Yok**
The crocodile? Don't they
cannibalize each other?
**[10:20] Miz**
Do not underestimate crocodiles!
**[10:22] Miz**
They are highly social animals that
can communicate with their growls.
**[10:26] Miz**
They sometimes even hunt
in groups by setting traps.
**[10:29] Yok**
Wow...
**[10:30] Kim**
And while that wolf-type there
could accidentally become cute,
**[10:34] Kim**
this crocodile type has
a perpetually open mouth.
**[10:37] Kim**
The sharp teeth are intimidating,
emphasizing how scary it is!
**[10:41] Shi**
Why are the mouths always open?
**[10:43] Mei**
Because it's hot.
**[10:44] Mei**
Just like real crocodiles, the open mouth allows
water to evaporate, which gets rid of heat.
**[10:48] Shi**
I thought it was for intimidation.
**[10:50] Miz**
Additionally, crocodiles are cold-blooded,
***SIGN*** Cold-Blooded
**[10:53] Miz**
which means that if you cool them down,
they shut down and sleep without needing food.
**[10:57] Miz**
In other words, if the park is closed,
it's possible to deactivate them!
**[11:00] Kim**
The wolf-type over there is warm-blooded,
***SIGN*** Warm-Blooded
**[11:03] Kim**
so they'll have to keep eating,
even if the park is closed.
**[11:06] Kim**
Ours is cool and economical!
**[11:09] Kim**
This is Team B's proposal!
**[11:11] Kan**
Our design's heads accepted each
other and got back together!
**[11:15] Shi**
This is a battle of unprecedented intensity!
**[11:18] Tsu**
Yokota-san, what do you think?
**[11:20] Tsu**
If Hell is operational year-round,
I recommend Team A's warm-blooded wolf-type.
**[11:25] Tsu**
If you will be closed frequently, I recommend
Team B's cold-blooded crocodile-type.
**[11:31] Yok**
We haven't decided yet if and
when the park will be closed.
**[11:33] Yok**
This is just like the sun and moon.
**[11:36] Yok**
It's just as difficult as having to pick
either roaring flames or eternal ice.
**[11:40] Yok**
It's so hard to pick.
**[11:44] Yok**
Both were accepted!
**[11:45] Yok**
The fee will be doubled!

Oh, that reminds me.
**[11:55] Yok**
Could I also purchase the skull pattern
that was on the moth Ueda-san caught earlier?
**[11:59] Yok**
I was looking for a design to put
on the T-shirts in the gift store.
**[12:02] ---**
Would a payment for the illustration
plus a royalty contract be acceptable?
**[12:05] Shi**
I'll go talk to the insect
department right away!
**[12:07] Una**
Wh-What a good client!
**[12:14] Yok**
There will come a time when I shall
return again from the deepest darkness!
**[12:18] Yok**
I look forward to working with you!
**[12:23] Kan**
I thought of Hell as a really scary place, but it
seems like a laid-back place to work.
**[12:28] Kan**
It looks like they can freely
pick their own work attire.
**[12:30] Ued**
Oh, it's not that free.
**[12:33] Ued**
New Hell employees have to design an
"awesome dark side outfit" for their work attire.
**[12:40] Ued**
However, but due to budget constraints,
**[12:42] Ued**
even if it feels embarrassing later,
they are never allowed to change it.
**[12:45] Miz**
That *would* be Hell.
***SIGN*** The Illustrated Guide to Creatures That Really Exist

That's 3.5 of me.
**[12:58] Yok**
These jaws are clearly suited to
the guardian of the underworld.
**[13:01] Ued**
They use that mouth to chomp babies.
**[13:04] Shi**
It ate it?!
**[13:05] Ued**
No, the mother is just transporting
the babies in her mouth.
**[13:10] Shi**
So crocodiles raise their children?
**[13:12] Ued**
They do so with the utmost care.
**[13:14] Ued**
The mother crocodile even sleeps with
one eye open to watch her children.
**[13:19] Yok**
They're kinder than they look, huh?
**[13:23] Ued**
Just like you, Yokota-kun.
**[13:33] Tsu**
Should we have lunch now?
**[13:35] Kan**
Yes, this is a good time to stop.
**[13:38] Una**
I brought a lunch today!
**[13:40] Kim**
Me, too.
**[13:41] Shi**
I'll make some tea.
**[13:43] Una**
Thank you, Shimoda-kun.
**[13:47] Shi**
Two?
**[13:49] Tsu**
Your lunch is so fancy, Venus-kun.
**[13:53] Kan**
Yours is such a classic.
**[13:57] Kan**
Compared to that...
**[13:59] Miz**
It's simple, beautiful and efficient.
**[14:02] Miz**
What's your issue?
**[14:03] Miz**
That's not appetizing.
**[14:05] Miz**
The same goes for yours.
**[14:08] Kim**
I'm looking forward, so forward, to lunch!
**[14:11] All**
That's huge!
**[14:12] Kan**
Come on! That huge thing won't fit here.
**[14:15] Shi**
The table over there is free.
**[14:21] Kim**
Ta-dah! Today's lunch is plated on this boat!
**[14:25] Shi**
Lunch?
**[14:27] Kim**
I packed it with the freshest
fruits of the sea.
**[14:30] Kim**
This glorious shrimp is a test piece.
**[14:32] Una**
It's all so fancy.
**[14:35] Kim**
This is just an aspect of our work, right?
**[14:37] Shi**
Uh, sure.
**[14:39] Kim**
I collaborated with the insect
department to make the crab before,
**[14:42] Kim**
and it turned out really tasty.
**[14:44] Shi**
The insect department? The crab?
**[14:46] Una**
That was before you came here.
**[14:49] Kim**
The crab is like a relative of the insects.
**[14:52] Kim**
I wanted that tastiness not just
in crabs, but also in shrimp.
**[14:56] Kim**
The shrimp is like an elongated crab,
so I guarantee that it's tasty.
**[14:59] Shi**
Shrimp and crabs are also related?
**[15:01] Kim**
Yes, crabs have their abdomen
on their underside, right?
**[15:05] Kim**
The one you can easily open up?
**[15:07] Kim**
That's just a shrimp tail tucked under.

**[15:35] Una**
Should we have lunch, too?
**[15:37] Una**
This one is yours.
**[15:39] Shi**
Oh, you're eating together?
**[15:42] Una**
Isn't it cute?
**[15:44] Una**
I got an order for an
"animal that can't swim well,"
**[15:47] Una**
so I'm making a fluffy creature.
**[15:49] Shi**
Fluffy because it can't swim well?
**[15:51] Una**
You know how good swimmers
are all curvy and slippery?
**[15:54] Shi**
Oh, you're going in the exact opposite
direction from the dolphin.
**[15:58] Una**
That's right. And animals that
often go into water usually
**[16:04] Una**
have their nose higher up.
**[16:07] Una**
This boy's got a small nose
in the middle of his face.
**[16:11] Una**
I left in a lot of land animal features.
**[16:14] Kim**
And what does he eat?
**[16:16] Una**
For now, he's an omnivore.
**[16:18] Una**
Stuff like frogs, bugs and grains.
**[16:21] Shi**
Like frogs...
**[16:23] Una**
Since he can't swim well,
he can't catch fish.
**[16:28] Kim**
Want to try an urchin?
**[16:37] Kim**
You can appreciate the flavor of urchin!
How about a scallop?
**[16:41] Kim**
Abalone?
**[16:43] Kim**
Squid?
**[16:45] Kim**
What a good boy!
**[16:47] Una**
Hey, stop that, Jupiter-kun!
**[16:50] Una**
He's bad at swimming!
**[16:52] Una**
Look at his cute little pads!
**[16:55] Una**
Tasty seafood comes from
the cold ocean, right?
**[16:58] Una**
He'll bleed body heat through his pads.
**[17:00] Una**
He'll be chilled to the bone!
**[17:02] Una**
So that's why this is your food.
**[17:04] Una**
Jeez! What will you do if he
starts preferring seafood?
**[17:11] Una**
*I'll pretend I didn't see that.*
**[17:13] Kim**
Do you want some lobster?
**[17:17] Shi**
S-So cute! He's literally beaming!
**[17:21] Una**
Oh, man, what should I do?
**[17:23] Una**
He can't swim well, but he's fallen
in love with expensive seafood.
**[17:27] Kim**
If cold is the issue,
he just needs to eat more.
**[17:30] Shi**
A gourmet that's also a glutton?
**[17:32] Kim**
If he just eats a lot, he'll be fine
because his body temperature will go up.
**[17:36] Kim**
There are no sharks in cold oceans,
and mussels suck at running away,
**[17:39] Kim**
meaning it'll work out even
if he can't swim well.
**[17:42] Kim**
The secret to survival is eating!
**[17:44] Una**
That's no longer the
animal I came up with.
**[17:47] Una**
It's completely under
Jupiter-kun's influence.
**[17:50] Shi**
He looks happy, though.
**[17:53] Una**
Oh, fine. Want to try going in the ocean?
**[17:59] Shi**
This looks more like an
aquarium than the ocean.
**[18:01] Una**
It's a simulation space for testing.
**[18:04] Ott**
This water is vewy cold.
My widdle handsies are vewy cold, so...
***SIGN*** Spread
**[18:13] Una**
I-It's so adorable!
**[18:15] Shi**
It's floating on the water!
**[18:17] Una**
What? That's so smart! Cute!
**[18:22] Kim**
I see. If he raises them up, he can breathe easily
and his hands don't get cold.
**[18:26] Kim**
What if we trap air in his coat to
make his whole body like a life vest?
**[18:31] Kim**
See? It floats, and since the cold water
isn't directly touching him, it's not cold.
**[18:34] Una**
That's good!
**[18:36] Ott**
Handsies cold...
**[18:38] Ott**
Oh, eyesies warm!
**[18:41] Shi**
Cute!
**[18:42] Una**
Adorable!
**[18:47] Una**
Your face can stay like that!
**[18:49] Una**
I'll put the fanciest fur coat on you!
**[18:53] Kim**
He wears a fancy fur coat and
gorges himself on fancy food.
**[18:56] Kim**
I like that.
**[18:57] Shi**
So he does have to eat a lot?
**[19:00] Kim**
With the amount of subcutaneous fat he has,
**[19:03] Kim**
he has to eat about 25% of
his body weight to survive.
**[19:07] Kim**
For your size, that would be
about 15 kilograms of food per day.
***SIGN*** Rice
**[19:11] Shi**
This much food... every day?!
**[19:15] Kim**
So I think he won't have time
to get back to land to sleep.
**[19:18] Una**
The fur coat is good,
**[19:19] Una**
but if he sleeps while floating on
the water, he'll be washed away.
**[19:23] Shi**
Neptune-san, look at that!
**[19:25] Shi**
He wrapped kelp around his body!
**[19:28] Una**
Th-That's so smart!
**[19:31] Kim**
What about in regions where there's no kelp?
**[19:33] Kim**
You should beef up his claws
so he can hold on to rocks.
**[19:39] Una**
Sorry, what did you say?
**[19:40] Kim**
I was saying the claws—
**[19:42] Shi**
Neptune-san!
**[19:43] Shi**
If there's is no kelp, they hold
hands while they sleep!
**[19:47] Una**
Get out!
**[19:49] Kim**
Listen, he can't hold a lot of
food with those small hands.
**[19:52] Kim**
You should enlarge them.
**[19:53] Una**
It's not cute, so I veto that.
**[19:55] Una**
I'll give you a pocket,
so you can carry a lot with you.
**[19:59] Kim**
P-Pockets? But we need to
address other issues, too.
**[20:02] Kim**
Since he was originally a land animal,
**[20:04] Kim**
eating too much seafood means
he's getting way too much sodium.
**[20:07] Shi**
Isn't that your fault?
**[20:09] Una**
I understand.
**[20:11] Una**
Let's make your kidneys strong, too.
**[20:14] Una**
Then you'll be able to
handle all that sodium.
**[20:18] Kim**
This is hopeless.
**[20:20] Shi**
He's stuffing lots of
mussels into his pockets.
**[20:23] Una**
He's so smart!
***SIGN*** A Few Days Later...
**[20:31] Shi**
Is the "animal that can't swim well"
in the oceans on Earth now?
**[20:34] Una**
Yes, we're testing it on Galapagos.
**[20:37] Una**
Want to come see?
**[20:38] Shi**
Of course!
**[20:39] Kim**
I'll come, too.
**[20:45] Shi**
Oh, good. They seem well.
**[20:49] Una**
Oh, no, this is bad!
**[20:51] Una**
They all have periodontitis!
**[20:55] Kim**
Always eating hard things
took a toll on them.
**[20:58] Kim**
I knew they needed another set of teeth.
**[21:02] Kim**
You should add teeth in their
stomachs like shrimp have—
**[21:05] Una**
No!
**[21:06] Una**
But what should I do?
If you can't eat, you'll die.
**[21:11] Shi**
No...
**[21:18] Una**
I see, you're using the rock
instead of your teeth!
**[21:21] Shi**
So smart!
**[21:23] Una**
So cute!
**[21:27] Shi**
God has spoken!

Aren't they so cute?
**[21:46] Shi**
They are. What's the significance
of this movement?
**[21:50] Una**
That's how they clean their fur.
**[21:52] Una**
In order to protect themselves
from the cold sea,
**[21:54] Una**
it's important that their fur is fluffy.
**[21:57] Shi**
I see. So they're making their
already-fluffy bodies even more fluffy.
**[22:01] Una**
The mothers do that fluffing
for their babies.
**[22:05] Una**
Shimoda-kun, are you ready?
**[22:07] Shi**
Yes. As one now, Neptune-san.
**[22:10] All**
So cute!

Hello, everyone!
**[00:04] Kan**
You're in a good mood, Shimoda-kun.
**[00:07] Shi**
Yes, that's because I have
good news for all of you!
**[00:11] Shi**
Here you go!

Huh? What?
**[00:17] Miz**
"Throe-doys"?
**[00:19] Mei**
Shimoda-kun, your handwriting sucks.
**[00:20] Shi**
I'm sorry. I haven't been
alive very long yet.
**[00:24] Shi**
I wrote, "Galapagos three-day vacation notice."
**[00:29] Shi**
Can you believe it? As a present
for all your hard work,
**[00:32] Shi**
God has granted you a company
trip that starts tomorrow!
***SIGN*** Heaven's Design Team
**[02:08] Shi**
Until just now, Saturn-san was negotiating
with God about the company trip.
**[02:14] Una**
And where is Chief Saturn?
**[02:15] Shi**
He said he'll meet you there tomorrow.
**[02:18] Emi**
I'm still working on an order.
**[02:21] Kan**
We all are.
**[02:22] Shi**
Apparently anything in progress can
be delivered after the vacation.
**[02:26] Mei**
"After the vacation" means we have
to work during the vacation.
**[02:30] Kan**
So it's just work anyway!
**[02:33] Shi**
That's true.
**[02:35] Kan**
Well, maybe I'll just go
to Galapagos now, then.
**[02:38] Una**
Let's get there early.
**[02:40] All**
Agreed!
**[02:41] Shi**
B-But nothing's prepared yet.
**[02:44] Shi**
There are no b-b-b-buildings!
**[02:46] Kan**
We can just take care of that ourselves.
**[02:48] Hig**
Want to build some hot springs and a gazebo?
**[02:50] Una**
We'll surprise the chief.
**[02:50] ---**
U-Um...
**[02:52] Shi**
What should I do?
**[02:52] Miz**
If anything, we should
build an outdoor bath.
**[02:54] Kim**
Let's go!
**[02:56] Shi**
Please wait!
**[03:04] Hig**
And just like that,
the hot springs are done!
**[03:08] Shi**
This looks so professional.
**[03:11] Hig**
A rock bath and a regular
one on the seaside.
***SIGN*** Entrance
***SIGN*** Front of the House
***SIGN*** Mountain Room

***SIGN*** Isolated Room
**[03:14] Hig**
There are two rooms facing the baths.
**[03:16] Hig**
I've made an isolated room, too.
**[03:18] Kan**
An isolated room?
**[03:19] Mei**
I asked her to make an isolated workshop
for those of us who have work to do.
**[03:24] Miz**
I have work, too.
**[03:26] Una**
Me, too.
**[03:27] Kan**
So that's the arrangement.
**[03:32] Kan**
Is that what you're working on right now?
**[03:35] Mei**
The base design passed, but the client
wants to see a bunch of variations.
**[03:40] Mei**
I've been thinking about
a type where the babies
**[03:43] Mei**
cannibalize each other in the womb,
and one where they don't,
**[03:47] Mei**
but I just don't have a good design.
**[03:49] Mei**
I might be having a slump.
**[03:50] Kan**
Really? It looks like you're on a roll.
**[03:52] Mei**
What about you, Ven-chan?
**[03:54] Kan**
The order was for "an animal
where the male breastfeeds."
**[03:57] Kan**
But I'm stuck.
**[03:58] Kan**
The samples are not reproducing well.
**[04:01] Kim**
Ready for some fun?
**[04:02] Kim**
Huh? Am I the only one who traveled light?
**[04:06] Kim**
I brought some animals that can
bathe with us! Let them soothe you.
**[04:10] Kim**
Neptune-san and Mercury are already there.
**[04:25] Kim**
So, feel calmer?
**[04:26] Miz**
How could I?!
**[04:29] Una**
Neptune-kun, this one got rejected, right?
**[04:32] Miz**
The scary creature that spits super-strong
stomach acid that can even dissolve metal...
**[04:37] Miz**
Why did you bring it?
**[04:39] Kim**
Since its stomach acid is so strong,
its body starts dissolving if it develops
**[04:42] Kim**
a stomach ulcer from stress.
So I thought I'd bring it here to relax.
**[04:46] Kim**
Let's enjoy the view together.
**[04:50] Miz**
This thing in my peripheral
vision is preventing that.
**[04:58] Kan**
This is the best!
**[05:00] Kan**
I think the sake would be even
better if it was snowing, though.
**[05:03] Hig**
Should I make it snow?
**[05:04] Kan**
You can? Please do!
**[05:07] Hig**
Pressure pattern change!
**[05:09] Hig**
Set seasonal wind to strong!
**[05:14] Hig**
This should generate cumulonimbus clouds,
so it'll snow eventually.
**[05:19] Mei**
Hammer... Saw...
**[05:23] Hig**
Oh, I'm sorry. I'll put those away later.
**[05:29] Mei**
What do you think of this sawshark?!
**[05:32] Kan**
You workaholic.
**[05:34] Hig**
Come get in the water.
**[05:36] Kan**
Oh, it started to snow!
**[05:42] Mzi**
It's cold.
**[05:45] Kim**
How about we get out and eat?
**[05:48] Kim**
We'll warm up once we eat.
**[05:52] Kim**
The hot pot's done!
**[05:55] Kan**
Oh, that smells good.
**[05:57] Mei**
What kind of hot pot is this?
**[05:59] Miz**
Don't tell me it's the...
**[06:06] Hig**
This is super delicious!
**[06:08] Hig**
Jupiter-san, you know your stuff!
**[06:10] Kim**
The secret to this deliciousness is the amino
acid composition inspired by shrimp and crab!
**[06:14] Kim**
Fine-tuning the umami and
the sweetness took forever.
**[06:19] Kim**
Well, since it was too tasty,
I made it a really tough creature,
**[06:23] Kim**
but that just netted me a rejection.
**[06:25] Kim**
*Figures.*
**[06:27] Kan**
Aw, what a shame!
**[06:29] Mei**
How about putting that amino acid
into an animal that's hard to eat?
**[06:32] Hig**
The crab we made before was tasty.
**[06:35] Shi**
Good evening! I brought some alcohol.
***SIGN*** Paraiso Beer

**[06:53] Hig**
Yeah, cheers!
***SIGN*** Nobody must leave the room
**[06:56] Una**
At this rate, we're all going to
drink until morning without leaving.
**[07:00] Shi**
I hope so.
***SIGN*** Two Hours Later
**[07:06] Shi**
Huh?
**[07:07] Shi**
Where is Jupiter-san?
**[07:08] Miz**
No clue.
**[07:10] Miz**
Probably sleeping next door.
**[07:13] Kan**
He went outside, saying he was going
to eat raw fish while dancing in the sea.
**[07:17] Shi**
What? But there was that letter!
**[07:20] Mei**
Wait, he's in the ocean?
**[07:22] Mei**
Oh, no... I tossed a bunch of my
work-in-progress sharks in there.
**[07:29] Kan**
You didn't leave them in the workshop?
**[07:31] Mei**
I wanted to see their abilities in the wild.
**[07:33] Shi**
Jupiter-san's going to die again!
**[07:36] Kan**
Again?
**[07:37] Shi**
Let's go find him, quick!
**[07:39] Miz**
Boo! I don't wanna. It's cold.
**[07:42] Una**
Come on, think of it as
preventing a hangover.
**[07:44] Mei**
The snow's sticking.
**[07:46] Miz**
So cold...
**[07:47] Miz**
This happens all the time.
We should just leave him.
**[07:50] Kan**
There, there, he's our colleague.
**[07:52] Hig**
We can get down here.
**[07:54] Shi**
We need to find him quickly.
**[07:56] Una**
Hello, Jupiter-kun! Hello?
**[07:59] Kan**
There are sharks!
**[08:00] Shi**
Jupiter-san, please come out!
**[08:01] Hig**
Give up and come out!
**[08:05] Miz**
I hate it here!
This snake and I both hate cold places.
**[08:09] Miz**
I'm going back to sleep!
**[08:11] Shi**
Come on...
**[08:13] Kan**
I wonder if Jupiter has already been eaten.
**[08:16] Kan**
Are sharks good at finding prey?
**[08:18] Mei**
I equipped them with ears that can
hear their prey from two kilometers away,
**[08:21] Mei**
and the ability to amplify light so they
can see even when it's very dim,
***SIGN*** Jupiter
**[08:26] Mei**
plus I also made a giant, 18-meter version!
**[08:29] Kan**
Oh, he's not getting away from that.
**[08:33] Mei**
Right, so let's find him with a shark.
**[08:37] Kan**
All life forms emit a tiny
amount of electricity.
**[08:40] Kan**
I added an organ near the nose
that detects electricity.
**[08:43] Kan**
This way, even creatures burrowing
in the sand can be detected.
**[08:46] Kan**
Oh, that's why the nose is pointy.
**[08:48] Mei**
On top of that!
**[08:50] Mei**
I'll separate the left and right nostrils,
**[08:53] Mei**
so they can figure out where
a smell is coming from!
**[08:57] Mei**
Go, Jupiter search party!

one with a circular saw, too!
**[09:16] Shi**
Is she maybe... drunk?
**[09:20] Una**
Ah, yes... With Pluto-chan, you can't
tell just by looking at her.
**[09:25] Mei**
Found him!
**[09:26] Shi**
The others joined them, too!
**[09:28] Kan**
He went to dance and eat, but it
looks more like he's the food.
**[09:32] Una**
It's too dangerous to get close.
**[09:34] Hig**
Leave it to me!
**[09:37] Hig**
Good thing this pressure pattern
can generate cumulonimbus clouds.
**[09:41] Hig**
By using the upward draft of the
cumulonimbus clouds, I'll create a tornado!
**[09:48] Shi**
I see! You're sucking Jupiter-san into the air!
**[09:59] Kan**
The sharks came, too!
**[10:01] Hig**
Oh, yeah...
**[10:10] Kim**
Boy, did I die last night!
**[10:13] Kan**
That was exhausting. I'm still tired.
**[10:16] Una**
Huh? Where's Mercury-kun?
**[10:19] Kan**
Shimoda-kun went to the isolated
room to see if he's sleeping there.
**[10:26] Kim**
What happened?!
**[10:32] Kim**
Wow, Mercury's dead.
**[10:34] Kan**
Jeez!
**[10:36] Kan**
Now we've got another mess to deal with!
**[10:45] Shi**
M-Mercury-san's...
**[10:47] Kan**
What, was this a murder?
**[10:51] Shi**
U-Uh, is this...
**[10:55] Kim**
Leave this to the
Ate-My-Money-Away Detective!
**[11:00] Kim**
The perpetrator is definitely still here!
**[11:06] Kim**
Nobody move! Preserving the crime scene
is fundamental to investigation!
**[11:11] Kan**
The perpetrator is here?
**[11:12] Una**
Ate-My-Money-Away Detective?
**[11:14] Kim**
This ashtray on the back of the head
is most likely the murder weapon.
**[11:18] Kim**
And these footprints were probably
left by the perpetrator.
**[11:23] Shi**
What is it?
**[11:24] Kim**
Look at this, Shimoda-kun.
**[11:26] Kim**
These footprints are curious.
**[11:27] Shi**
Indeed, it almost looks like the
perpetrator disappeared into the mirror.
**[11:38] Kim**
This is... the flavor of fat and protein!
A milky taste!
**[11:44] Kim**
This isn't blood. It's actually pretty tasty.
**[11:48] Kan**
Oh, maybe this baby is the perpetrator!
**[11:53] Kan**
The order I got was for "an animal
where the male breastfeeds."
**[11:57] Kan**
The males also produce milk in the back
of their throats to feed the young.
**[12:02] Shi**
So this red stuff isn't blood, but milk?
**[12:06] Mei**
Why did you make the milk this color?
**[12:08] Kan**
The milk is red because they eat red algae.
**[12:11] Kan**
I made it a bird whose feathers and body
will take on the color of the food it eats.
**[12:15] Kan**
Isn't this coral pink wonderful?
**[12:20] Kim**
Part of the mystery is solved!
**[12:24] Kim**
It seems the one who left
these footprints hit Mercury,
**[12:29] Kim**
and disappeared into the mirror.
**[12:32] Kim**
That's how things may appear at first,
but the red milk gave me a clue.
**[12:36] Shi**
What do you mean?
**[12:38] Kim**
This blood-like substance
on the bottom of the mirror
**[12:41] Kim**
doesn't mean that the perpetrator
went inside the mirror.
**[12:44] Kim**
It means that they stepped into the
milk here and walked backward.
**[12:49] Kim**
And the answer to who that was is
right here, in Mercury's hand!
**[12:55] Kim**
Shimoda-kun, my hands are full,
so please inspect that.
**[12:59] Shi**
Y-Yes!
**[13:01] Shi**
It's a sock! He was holding a sock!
**[13:04] Kan**
I've seen that sock before.
**[13:06] Kim**
Yes, this sock belongs to the
victim himself... to Mercury.
**[13:12] Kim**
He's always been susceptible to cold,
so he abandoned me last night
**[13:16] Kim**
and came here to go to bed by himself.
**[13:20] Kim**
And then, after he stepped into the
bird milk in front of the mirror,
**[13:26] Kim**
Mercury stepped back and took
off his milk-red sock.

How did you get that ashtray
on your head, Mercury?
**[14:28] Miz**
I don't know. Don't remember.
**[14:30] Shi**
What? Are you all right?!
**[14:33] Miz**
My head hurts.
**[14:36] Miz**
I dreamed about pink birds flocking around
me and vomiting blood on my head.
**[14:41] Shi**
That was probably real.
**[14:44] Kim**
It's most likely that this ashtray murder
is motivated by a grudge!

I wanted to make sure the weather was back

**[16:28] Kim**
Neptune-san, you were struggling because
**[16:30] Kim**
the squirrel you're designing was
being preyed upon by Mercury's snake.
**[16:33] Una**
I was struggling, but I don't hate him.
**[16:37] Una**
Actually, with Mercury-kun's help, I went
from "squirrel that the snakes eat"
**[16:41] Una**
to "squirrel that eats snakes."
**[16:44] Shi**
What? The squirrel eats snakes?!
**[16:46] Una**
Since they always get hunted by snakes,
I added resistance to snake venom.
**[16:51] Una**
This boy can stand up to Mercury's snakes.
**[16:54] Shi**
Speaking of, where is the snake

**[16:57] Kim**
Maybe it slithered off
while he was sleeping.

Huh, could that be the

**[17:50] Mzi**
Snakes don't like the cold.
He probably dragged a spare robe
**[17:55] Mzi**
from the workshop room all the way over here.
**[17:57] Kim**
So Mars-san didn't see
a designer, but a snake.
**[18:01] Kim**
That means we don't have any clues.
**[18:03] Hig**
Then we need to think back to the beginning.
***SIGN*** Nobody must leave the room
**[18:07] Kim**

**[18:11] Hig**
It would be faster to write it by hand,
**[18:13] Hig**
yet it was put together from clippings.
**[18:16] Hig**
That suggests the perpetrator was afraid of
being identified by their handwriting.
**[18:20] Kan**
Due to the theory that the
perpetrator was wearing a robe,
**[18:23] Kan**
they were not previously
considered a suspect.
**[18:25] Hig**
Then they were also not considered because
they were the detective's assistant.
**[18:30] Hig**
Which means...
**[18:31] Kan**
Shimoda-kun is gone?!
**[18:32] Una**
He was here just a moment ago!

What is that?!
**[19:30] Kim**
So it's finally done! That's a relief.
**[19:34] Miz**
What?
**[19:35] Ued**
We made it as surprise.
**[19:37] Tsu**
I'm glad we somehow delivered on time.
**[19:40] Shi**
I was so worried you'd
find out early, since you all
**[19:44] Shi**
came to Galapagos before it was finished.
**[19:46] Kan**
Oh, right, we did come a
day early, didn't we?
**[19:50] Mei**
I remember how flustered Shimoda-kun
was when we said we'd go early.
**[19:54] Kim**
I actually saw the palace
underwater last night.
**[20:04] Kim**
That's why I diverted everyone's attention
away from the ocean with the detective bit.
**[20:08] Una**
So the "Ate-My-Money-Away

**[20:12] Kim**
Yup.
**[20:13] Una**
But then what was that threatening note?
**[20:15] Shi**
That was supposed to just be a note.
***SIGN*** Nobody must leave the room

**[20:25] Miz**
Didn't someone hit my head with an ashtray?
**[20:29] Mei**
Jupiter-san, the detective, is suspicious!
**[20:32] Shi**
Oh, that was me.
**[20:34] Miz**
You did that?
**[20:35] Shi**
This morning, when I went to awaken Mercury-san,
the squirrel was trying to bite his head.
**[20:42] Shi**
I wanted to guard his head with
something hard, hence the ashtray.
**[20:46] Una**
I wonder if you smelled
like a venomous snake.
**[20:49] Miz**
I did have it wrapped around
my neck the whole time.
**[20:52] Miz**
So that means nobody hit my head?
**[20:55] Kim**
Your headache was just a hangover.
**[20:58] Kan**
Anyway, this whole thing was for nothing!

The Illustrated Guide to Creatures

**[21:23] Kan**
How can it fight snakes when it's this cute?
**[21:26] Miz**
It's using the snake's properties.
**[21:28] Miz**
First, venomous snakes usually do
not eat other venomous snakes.
**[21:31] Miz**
That's why this squirrel chews
the discarded snake skin
**[21:34] Miz**
to camouflage itself with
the scent of the snake.
**[21:37] Kan**
That's why you almost got bitten.
**[21:40] Kan**
Good job, squirrel-chan!
**[21:42] Miz**
Additionally, it has another special move
that exploits the snake's thermal sensor.
**[21:47] Miz**
When facing off against the rattlesnake,
**[21:50] Miz**
this squirrel quickly raises
the temperature of its tail.
**[21:53] Kan**
That's so clever!
**[21:54] Kan**
Since the snake finds its
prey by detecting heat,
**[21:57] Kan**
the squirrel will look like a much bigger
and stronger animal than it actually is.
**[22:01] Miz**
"If you know your enemies
and know yourself,"
**[22:03] Miz**
"you will not be imperiled
in a hundred battles."
**[22:06] Miz**
Venus, why are you staring at me?
**[22:08] Kan**
I figure I need to get to know you
better if I want to defeat snakes.

One evening, as I was washing
my hair in the bath...
**[00:14] Una**
I felt like I was being watched,
but of course nobody was there.
**[00:22] Una**
What was that, I wonder.
**[00:24] Shi**
That's so scary, huh?!

That's so ridiculous.
**[02:16] Miz**
Well, it's par for the course.
**[02:18] Mei**
Maybe it was an ex who was staring at you?
**[02:22] Una**
Please don't say things that really are scary.
**[02:26] Shi**
How about an animal that blends in with
its surroundings like a chameleon?
**[02:30] Miz**
Hey, your mental image is wrong.
**[02:33] Miz**
The chameleon is bad at camouflage.
**[02:36] Miz**
This panther chameleon was already accepted.
**[02:39] Miz**
The chameleon doesn't change its color
after looking at its surroundings.
**[02:43] Miz**
It's based on the lighting or its mood.
**[02:46] Shi**
Its mood?!
**[02:47] Miz**
For instance, when a male meets
a female he fancies...

*That's so slow.*
**[02:58] Una**
That reminds me of the squids

**[03:01] Una**
They also change color,
but they do it super fast.
**[03:04] Una**
How does that work?
**[03:06] Mei**
Squids have chromatophores on
the surface of their bodies,
**[03:09] Mei**
and can change color with their muscles.
***SIGN*** Chromatophores
**[03:11] Mei**
Flexing or relaxing them can make
the change happen in an instant.
**[03:15] Shi**
That sounds like it could qualify as

"that's watching even though it
looks like nothing's there."
**[03:20] Miz**
Let's try it in a simulation.
**[03:27] Shi**
Did we have to go this far?
**[03:31] Una**
Well, reproducibility and field
testing are important.
**[03:35] Mzi**
All right, Pluto-chan, bring out your squid.
**[03:38] Mei**
Coming right up!
**[03:39] Una**
Scrub, scrub... Scrub, scrub...
**[03:46] Una**
*There's a squid there.*
**[03:48] Una**
It's too obvious that there's a
squid there. Mostly the eyes.
**[03:51] Una**
And that jiggly three-dimensionality
looks so tasty.
**[03:54] Miz**
No good, huh?
**[03:55] Una**
Besides, why is the squid even in the bath?
**[03:58] Una**
What's the situation? What does the
squid want to do behind my back?
**[04:02] Miz**
This strange situation has
made him oddly rational.
**[04:06] Miz**
I guess the squid has its limits.
**[04:08] Mei**
Then how about making a creature
that becomes transparent in water?
**[04:12] Miz**
We'd need engineering help for that.
**[04:14] Mei**
I mean, lifeforms are made of water.
**[04:17] Mei**
Maybe we can just make a fish

That'll be difficult.
***SIGN*** Prototype Lab

Let's also add cutaneous respiration!

from the surrounding water.

**[05:06] Una**
but it would be terrifying if you
locked eyes with that in the tub.
**[05:10] Shi**
Oh, we got a follow-up request.
**[05:12] Shi**
Um, could you make it so you
can't lock eyes with it?
**[05:17] Shi**
Can the eyes be made transparent?
**[05:19] Miz**
That's impossible.
**[05:20] Meid**
Suppose you were an invisible angel.
Then your eyes would be transparent, too.
**[05:25] Meid**
Your retinas could not absorb the light
hitting the eye. It would just pass through.
**[05:31] Shi**
Does that mean my invisible self
wouldn't be able to see anything?
**[05:35] Mei**
Correct.
**[05:37] Mei**
While nobody could see you, you would
also not be able to see anyone.
**[05:42] Mei**
You would be able to
experience true loneliness.
**[05:44] Mei**
How wonderful!
**[05:46] Shi**
I-I see. And I always thought being
invisible would be fun...
**[05:51] Una**
Even if you wanted to prank someone,
if you can't see anything...
**[05:55] Miz**
If we can't make the eyes disappear,
**[05:57] Miz**
how about adding eyes to creatures
that the naked eye cannot see?
**[06:01] Miz**
Like a single-celled organism in the water?
**[06:03] Una**
That means at first,
it'll look like normal water.
**[06:06] Una**
But if you zoom in...

I didn't know that chameleons
change color based on their mood.
**[07:13] Shi**
I always thought that was for camouflage.
**[07:15] Miz**
Chameleons turn black when
they're stressed out or depressed.
**[07:18] Shi**
They're so sensitive.
**[07:20] Shi**
It's so interesting that there are creatures
that change color based on their mood.
**[07:23] Miz**
I think you'd change color, too.
**[07:26] Miz**
Their color also changes based on the sun.
**[07:28] Miz**
When it's hot, it goes into
infrared reflection mode,
**[07:31] Miz**
so its body temperature
doesn't get too high.
**[07:33] Shi**
So when it's in a light spot,
**[07:35] Shi**
it gets lighter to reflect the sun,
and when it's in a dark spot, it gets dark—
**[07:40] Shi**
Wait? Isn't this camouflage?
**[07:43] Miz**
Yeah, often that's the result.
**[07:47] Shi**
I see!
**[07:50] Miz**
See? You changed color.
**[07:59] All**
Wow!
**[08:01] All**
So pretty!
**[08:04] All**
Nice!
**[08:06] Tsu**
I'm worried.
**[08:09] Tsu**
Ever since that big fireworks show,
**[08:11] Tsu**
my grandson Kenta has only been sighing.
**[08:16] Ken**
*I want to meet them again.*
**[08:18] Tsu**
He was drawing something like a portrait.
**[08:22] Tsu**
I thought it might be my
grandson's first love.
**[08:26] Tsu**
So I decided to create the
object of his first love.
**[08:35] Shi**
C-Create?
**[08:38] Shi**
*This situation has gone mad all of a sudden!*
**[08:41] Shi**
What do you mean by "create"?
**[08:44] Miz**
Wouldn't it be faster to
find the other child?
**[08:47] Miz**
Pluto-chan was there, too.
Why don't you ask her to help?
**[08:52] Tsu**
Well, I did go and ask her, but...
**[08:57] (Flashback) Mei**
I didn't really see anyone like that.
It was very crowded, anyway.
**[09:00] (Flashback) Tsu**
I see. Sorry for bothering
you when you're busy.
**[09:04] (Flashback) Tsu**
What are you working on, anyway?
**[09:06] (Flashback) Mei**
A "creature with eyes that stand out."
**[09:09] (Flashback) Mei**
I went to the fireworks
because I wanted to see how
**[09:12] (Flashback) Mei**
the prototype for this nocturnal
animal would react.
**[09:14] (Flashback) Tsu**
Oh, for the internal competition!
**[09:16] (Flashback) Tsu**
I might submit something, too.
**[09:19] (Flashback) Tsu**
The person my grandson wanted to
meet was "cute, with big eyes."
**[09:22] (Flashback) Mei**
Sounds nice!
**[09:24] Tsu**
So since I have no leads, I decided
to just create something.
**[09:29] Shi**
Huh... By the way, why is Pluto-san
staying in a tent on Galapagos?
**[09:34] Kan**
In order to push herself.
**[09:36] Kan**
Even though she's in the middle of nature,
**[09:38] Kan**
she's not even stepping outside of the tent.

vague resemblance is what Kenta wanted.
**[09:54] Miz**
He wanted to have another encounter,
so of course he'll be happy.
**[09:57] Shi**
*I'm surrounded by madmen!*
**[09:59] Tsu**
Here we are!
**[10:07] Tsu**
I think this is what the
base should look like.
**[10:09] Tsu**
What do you think?
**[10:10] Miz**
It looks just like your grandson's drawing.
**[10:12] Shi**
*I really don't think so!*
**[10:15] Hig**
Listen, about this kid...
**[10:16] Shi**
*Finally, a voice of reason!*
**[10:18] Hig**
If the eyes are this big, I can't
make muscles to move the eyeballs.
**[10:23] Hig**
There's not enough room in its skull.
**[10:25] Shi**
*Wait, that's your objection?!*
**[10:27] Hig**
Eyeballs need quite a lot
of space in the back.
**[10:30] Hig**
If the eyes are this big,
they'll fill the entire skull cavity.
**[10:36] Shi**
Hm, but Mercury-san, didn't the ostrich
that you designed also have big eyes?
**[10:40] Miz**
The ostrich also doesn't have room
for muscles to move the eyes.
**[10:44] Miz**
That's why I made it so it moves
its entire head to look at things.
**[10:48] Tsu**
Next, we have this tongue here.
**[10:51] Tsu**
Mercury-kun, you made an
animal like this, right?
**[10:54] Miz**
The gecko.
**[10:55] Miz**
Since it doesn't have eyelids, it licks its
eyes with its tongue to lubricate them.
**[10:59] Shi**
It's sort of cute.
**[11:01] Tsu**
I see. You mean like this?
**[11:05] Shi**
*Th-That's not cute!*
**[11:07] Miz**
Chief,
**[11:09] Miz**
might this line in the eye
be a winking expression?
**[11:12] Miz**
That suggests there are eyelids.
**[11:14] Tsu**
Oh, right. Then let's make the
long tongue be for feeding.
**[11:19] Miz**
One more thing.
**[11:21] Miz**
This detail here by the mouth.
**[11:23] Miz**
Could there be two tongues?
**[11:26] Miz**
That would mean there's one for
grooming and one for feeding.
**[11:31] Tsu**
I see! Let's go with that idea, too.
**[11:36] Shi**
*Oh, no! Kenta-kun's first love...*
**[11:39] Shi**
* Aren't we drifting further and*
* further from the answer here?*
**[11:41] Shi**
* But maybe I should just be happy*
* the base wasn't a horse.*
**[11:44] Tsu**
Mars-kun, what do you think?
**[11:46] Hig**
Well, what kind of food are we looking at?
**[11:49] Tsu**
Since there are two eyes facing forward,
**[11:51] Tsu**
this is not an herbivore, but a carnivore.
**[11:54] Shi**
You can tell from just the
position of the eyes?
**[11:57] Hig**
Having eyes on the sides gives
you a wider field of vision,
**[11:59] Hig**
which means you can spot
your enemies better.
**[12:01] Hig**
That's for animals who want to
flee from other animals, or herbivores.
**[12:04] Shi**
Aha...
**[12:06] Hig**
On the flip side, having eyes facing forward
**[12:07] Hig**
grants a wider area where
the fields of vision overlap.
**[12:09] Hig**
That gives you better depth perception and
lets you know the distance to your prey.
**[12:13] Shi**
Ah, so animals that want to catch other animals!
**[12:16] Tsu**
This animal runs and chases its prey.
**[12:22] Shi**
*Every aspect just makes it scarier.*
**[12:25] Hig**
But if the jaw is this small,
**[12:27] Hig**
it won't have enough power to
tear apart big pieces of meat.
**[12:30] Miz**
Should we make it swallow the
prey whole, like a snake?
**[12:32] Miz**
You can make the jaw split sideways and
remove the sternum to open up the rib cage.
***SIGN*** Sternum
**[12:36] Miz**
Then swallowing prey whole will be easy.
***SIGN*** Snakes don't have one
**[12:44] Hig**
You need the sternum to attach
the muscles that move the arms.
**[12:48] Hig**
The snake's fine because
it doesn't have arms.
**[12:50] Miz**
I guess swallowing whole is out, then.
**[12:52] Hig**
I don't think explosiveness
or stamina are a thing here.
**[12:55] Hig**
At best, we're looking at
catching slow insects.
**[12:58] Miz**
Insects...
**[13:01] Miz**
Then this must be a snail!
**[13:06] Tsu**
That's it!
**[13:07] Shi**
*Are you sure?!*
**[13:10] Tsu**
All right, that's the spitting
image of the drawing!
**[13:13] Tsu**
What do you think?
Will it be love on first sight?
**[13:15] Miz**
It would be for me!
**[13:17] Shi**
*They've created a monstrosity!*
**[13:19] Tsu**
Shimoda-kun, don't be shy.
Let us know what you think.
**[13:21] Shi**
Well, um, just one thing...
**[13:25] Shi**
Maybe it's lacking a little bit of cuteness.
**[13:29] Tsu**
Cuteness... That's an area
we're not very good at.
**[13:32] Hig**
Oh, I remember Neptune-san adding hair and
saying cute animals need to be fluffy.
**[13:38] Tsu**
That's it! Let's focus on
cuteness and fluff it up!
**[13:43] Tsu**
It's done!
***SIGN*** My Grandson's
First Love
**[13:45] Miz**
It's spot-on, Saturn-san!
**[13:47] Shi**
* I feel so sorry for your memories*
* of your first love, Kenta-kun!*
**[13:51] Mei**
I'm back.
**[13:55] Mei**
Exactly the same!?
**[13:56] Tsu**
Why?!
**[13:59] Tsu**
We were trying to recreate
my grandson's drawing.
**[14:03] Mei**
Oh, that's me.
**[14:05] Shi**
This little one?
**[14:07] Mei**
No, no, I'm here.
**[14:09] Shi**
Oh, so it's not a drawing of the fireworks?
**[14:12] Mei**
And next to me is this guy.
**[14:14] Mei**
We ran into Kenta-kun as I was
handing it a snail snack,
**[14:17] Mei**
so the drawing must be of that.
**[14:19] Mei**
The prototype was much bigger, too.
**[14:22] Mei**
Because the eyes are too big to move,
the entire neck can swivel all the way around.
**[14:26] Mei**
It has two tongues, too.
**[14:28] Tsu**
Same for ours.
**[14:30] Miz**
They're perfectly identical!
**[14:31] Shi**
W-Wait, so the "first love" was spot-on?
**[14:36] Shi**
And God has spoken!
**[14:38] God**
Accepted!
***SIGN*** Philippine
Tarsier
***SIGN*** Accepted
**[14:41] Mei**
Yay! Locking myself in paid off!
**[14:44] Tsu**
We unknowingly traced your steps.
**[14:47] Miz**
Kenta-kun's observational
powers are amazing.
**[14:50] Shi**
*After that, the one that Saturn-san made...*
**[14:54] Ken**
I finally found you again!
**[14:56] Ken**
I missed you!
**[14:57] Miz**
You did it, Chief!
**[14:58] Tsu**
Yeah!
**[14:58] Ken**
I wanted to see you!
**[15:00] Shi**
I-I'm... happy for you.
**[15:01] Ken**
So cute!
**[15:10] Hig**
I don't think the ear canal
should be any bigger.
**[15:14] Shi**
Mars-san, how's progress?
**[15:17] Hig**
We're working on "an animal
with good hearing."
**[15:20] Tsu**
Oh, no! I can see the
eyeball through the ear!
**[15:24] Tsu**
It might accidentally come out that way!
**[15:27] Shi**
*I've seen you before.*
**[15:29] Hig**
That's why you can't make it so big.
**[15:31] Shi**
Wasn't this Kenta-kun's little friend?
**[15:34] Tsu**
I'm redesigning it into
"an animal with good hearing."
**[15:38] Tsu**
Look, aren't these ears great?
**[15:41] Tsu**
The ridges are there for a reason, too.
**[15:44] Tsu**
The sound hits these ridges, which allows the
animal to know where the sound is coming from.
***SIGN*** Sound
**[15:49] Tsu**
If we can't make the ear canal too big,
**[15:52] Tsu**
I'll have to improve this area instead.
**[15:54] Shi**
You mean make them bigger,
like with elephants?
**[15:58] Tsu**
Elephants don't have good hearing.
**[16:00] Shi**
Really? But their ears are so big!
**[16:02] Hig**
You know how you cup your ears like
this when you try to hear something?
**[16:07] Hig**
A parabolic shape is better
for gathering sound.
***SIGN*** Sound
***SIGN*** Sound
***SIGN*** Sound
**[16:10] Tsu**
The elephant's ears are
flat and have no ridges.
**[16:13] Hig**
Because the elephant's ears are heat sinks.
**[16:16] Shi**
That's right! They get heat
stroke without those ears.
**[16:19] Shi**
So they can't hear well, huh?
**[16:22] Tsu**
But their feet can.
**[16:24] Shi**
Their feet?
**[16:28] Tsu**
Elephants detect the vibrations
of the ground with their feet,
**[16:31] Tsu**
and send them through their
bones to their ears.
**[16:34] Tsu**
It's bone conductivity of a sort.
**[16:36] Tsu**
When they want to hear better,
they press their feet into the ground,
**[16:42] Tsu**
similar to how we might press
our ear against a wall.
**[16:44] Shi**
That's a little bit cute!
**[16:46] Tsu**
Anyway, this ear is cup-shaped,
and with the round ridges, it's ideal!
**[16:52] Shi**
So that's why a lot of animals
have this ear shape.
**[16:55] Tsu**
I was the one who designed
the base model of this ear,
**[16:59] Tsu**
but this time, I am looking to
make something even better!
**[17:02] Shi**
* When there are no horses involved,*
* Saturn-san's quite impressive.*
**[17:06] Hig**
These ears might be even better at gathering
sound if they can move freely
**[17:10] Hig**
to match the angle that the
sound is coming from.
**[17:12] Tsu**
I see. How about this?
**[17:18] Shi**
*That's a little scary.*
**[17:20] Hig**
Should the ear canals stay
on the sides of the head?
**[17:22] Hig**
If they're on the sides, they can
pick up sound from all directions,
**[17:25] Hig**
but it'll make it hard to hear small sounds.
**[17:27] Tsu**
Right.
**[17:28] Tsu**
Then let's bring them to the front.
**[17:32] ---**
There!
**[17:34] Tsu**
This will up the sensitivity!
**[17:36] Hig**
If you specialize in one direction,
the sensitivity will go up,
**[17:40] Hig**
but it also means that they have to move
their head toward sound sources all the time.
**[17:43] Tsu**
That's fine. This model can turn its neck.
**[17:47] Tsu**
Since the neck itself grew, too,
it can also bend up and down.
**[17:51] Tsu**
Lucky!
**[17:53] Tsu**
Let's test if this is good enough to catch
prey just with sound, without relying on vision.
**[17:57] Tsu**
Shimoda-kun, please be the prey.
**[17:59] ---**
Huh?
**[18:00] ---**
Uh...
**[18:02] ---**
What?!
**[18:05] Shi**
I couldn't refuse...
**[18:10] Shi**
It's coming for me!
**[18:13] Tsu**
How did you know it's coming?
**[18:15] Shi**
I mean, the footsteps...
**[18:17] Tsu**
Oh, that. Okay, let's add
wings and make it fly.
**[18:23] Shi**
We're not done yet?
**[18:25] Tus**
Let's adjust the ears too.
**[18:27] Shi**
Huh, why?
**[18:28] Hig**
That's revolutionary!
**[18:30] Hig**
You see, ears can tell where a sound is
coming from based on which ear heard it first.
**[18:35] Hig**
By shifting them up and down,
**[18:36] Hig**
they can detect a sound's height
as well as its direction!
**[18:38] Hig**
That's Saturn-san's genius!
**[18:40] Tsu**
All right! Now detection is possible
no matter where Shimoda-kun runs.
**[18:44] Shi**
*This is even more terrifying.*
**[18:50] Shi**
* I can't sense it anywhere...*
* but there's really nowhere to hide.*
**[18:59] Tsu**
Aw, how did you know it was flying at you?
**[19:02] Shi**
I heard its wings flapping.
**[19:05] Tsu**
This is Mars-san's territory.
**[19:07] Tsu**
Any good ideas?
**[19:09] Hig**
Making the flight feathers jagged might
disperse the sound, and thus lower the volume.
***SIGN*** Smooth
***SIGN*** Jagged
**[19:15] Tsu**
I see!
**[19:16] Tsu**
Let's do another test!
**[19:17] Shi**
A-Again?!
**[19:22] Shi**
I'm sorry... I haven't been attacked yet,
but it's there, right?
**[19:28] Tsu**
What? How could you tell?
**[19:30] Shi**
I mean, when it's twisting its head around,
**[19:32] Shi**
the ears flap around and
are really noticeable.
**[19:35] Tsu**
You're right.
**[19:37] Tsu**
The ears are holding it back.
**[19:39] Shi**
*Weren't they the whole point?!*
**[19:43] Tsu**
All right, let's squash
the ears into the face.
**[19:47] Tsu**
Then its silhouette won't change
even when it's turning its head.
**[19:51] Hig**
I think that's good.
**[19:52] Shi**
*It is?*
**[19:53] Tsu**
Then I'll gather all the
ideas and present you with...
**[19:55] Tsu**
An animal with good hearing!
**[19:58] Shi**
God has spoken!
***SIGN*** Owl
**[19:59] God**
Accepted!
***SIGN*** Accepted
**[20:03] Shi**
I'm glad it's not the scary one from before.
**[20:07] Shi**
Saturn-san, where did the
all-important parabola ears go?
**[20:11] Tsu**
This round depression on the face.
**[20:14] Hig**
The entire face is a parabola,
**[20:16] Hig**
so it can focus the sound in the ear
by moving the surrounding feathers.
**[20:20] Tsu**
By the way, its skull looks like this.
***SIGN*** Left Ear
***SIGN*** Right Ear
**[20:24] Tsu**
The ear canals are facing the front
and are vertically misaligned.
**[20:27] Shi**
So you kept that long neck as-is.
**[20:31] Tsu**
As you can see, the silhouette is the
same no matter which way it faces.
**[20:34] Shi**
I'm glad. Since its previous look
is gone, I don't find it as scary.
**[20:40] Tsu**
What are you talking about?
**[20:41] Tsu**
The chicks look basically the same as that.
***SIGN*** Barn Owl Chicks
**[20:47] Hig**
You can also still see the
eyeball through its ear canal.
**[20:50] Hig**
Wanna look?
**[20:51] Shi**
I'll pass!
**[20:54] Tsu**
The flight feathers have a stealth mode.
**[20:56] Shi**
Amazing! Every feature made it in.
**[21:00] Shi**
You're really good, Saturn-san!
***SIGN*** Brown
***SIGN*** Black
***SIGN*** White
**[21:02] Tsu**
Incidentally, they have the same
color scheme as the horse.
**[21:05] Shi**
Y-You worked the horse in?
**[21:06] Hig**
Saturn-san, you never miss a beat.
**[21:09] Kan**
Yay, another highly-evolved birdie!
**[21:13] Shi**
Oh, Saturn-san designed that.
**[21:16] Kan**
Let's make you even cuter.
**[21:17] Shi**
Oh, but it has that silhouette for a reason—
**[21:22] Shi**
God has spoken!
**[21:23] God**
That's accepted, too!
***SIGN*** Accepted
***SIGN*** Horned Owl
**[21:26] Shi**
Why?!
***SIGN*** The Illustrated Guide to Creatures That Really Exist
**[21:28] Ken**
The Illustrated Guide to Creatures
That Really Exist!
**[21:33] Tsu**
There are these ear-like things on its head,
but they're not ears, right?
**[21:37] Kan**
Yes, just like other owls, the ears
are in this area of the face.
**[21:42] Tsu**
So what are these pointy things here?
**[21:44] Kan**
Decorative feathers.
**[21:46] Tsu**
What are they for?
**[21:46] Kan**
Nothing! They're just cute!
**[21:49] Kan**
Wait, I'll think of something...
**[21:53] Kan**
How about this? They look like leaves,
so they help with camouflage!
**[21:56] Tsu**
I feel like not having them
would work even better.
**[21:58] Tsu**
When it moves its head, they'll stand out.
**[22:01] Kan**
Now that you mention it...
**[22:03] Kan**
Wait, then why was it accepted?
**[22:06] Kan**
It would be better to not
have these pointy feathers.
**[22:09] Tsu**
God's ways are mysterious.
**[22:12] Kan**
You're so right! I knew it!

How did you like my snake fist?
**[02:33] Kmi**
When did you even learn that?
**[02:35] Kmi**
But I've got something up my sleeve, too!
**[02:38] Miz**
What?!
**[02:39] Kim**
Hidden Technique: Bone Hug!
**[02:43] Miz**
That's dangerous! What's with those bones?!
**[02:47] Kim**
They're ribs!
**[02:49] Shi**
What are they doing?
**[02:51] Mei**
No idea.
**[02:53] Hig**
Yeah, that's a nope.
**[02:56] Hig**
It's impossible to make bones
grow that fast on Earth.
**[03:00] Kim**
Aw, man, and I just got the
order for "bones as weapons."
**[03:03] Kim**
I guess this won't do. Oh, well,
this hurts like heck, anyway.
**[03:07] Shi**
Why is Jupiter-san modifying himself?
**[03:09] Miz**
He was saying that it's easier to
make something if he's felt it,
**[03:13] Miz**
but I think he just wants to play around.
**[03:15] Kim**
If rapid growth is impossible,
how about having folded ones unfurl?
**[03:19] Hig**
Could work.
**[03:21] Mei**
But you'd get hurt every
time the bones come out.
**[03:23] Mei**
If you're wounded often, I think
you'd wind up dead, even if you didn't fight.
**[03:28] Hig**
I suppose it could work as an
"emergency sacrificial defense"
**[03:31] Hig**
for amphibian species that
can regenerate skin quickly.
**[03:34] Kim**
I see! I'll jot that down.
**[03:38] Shi**
Are you all right?
**[03:40] Kim**
Yes, probably.
**[03:42] Hig**
I know you want them to
shoot out like before...
**[03:45] Kim**
This is what would be ideal.
**[03:48] Hig**
But if you actually did that,
the exit wounds would be too big,
***SIGN*** Just a little bit
**[03:53] Hig**
so you can only extend them a little bit.
***SIGN*** Just a little bit
**[03:55] Kim**
These aren't what I envisioned.
**[03:57] Shi**
They're not very impressive,
and they seem painful.
**[04:00] Miz**
Having a weapon snikt out from
your body is indeed awesome.
**[04:03] Hig**
Yup, yup.
**[04:05] Kim**
If storing them won't work,
I at least want them to be flashy!
**[04:08] Kim**
Got it! Let's put the
bones outside the body!
**[04:11] Kim**
I've put the spine and the
ribs outside! How about that?
**[04:17] Hig**
Wait, wait! How are you moving those arms?!
**[04:22] Shi**
What's the issue?
**[04:23] Hig**
He's not a snake! The shoulder
blades behind his ribs are missing.
**[04:28] Hig**
And his arms are supposed
to be attached to those!
**[04:31] Kim**
I've flipped the position of the bones.
**[04:34] Kim**
I went all-out and put the shoulder
blades inside. Can you see?
***SIGN*** Shoulder Blade
***SIGN*** Rib
**[04:38] Miz**
You can move your arms...
so is this arrangement okay?
**[04:41] Mei**
What does Mars-san think?
**[04:43] Shi**
She doesn't seem satisfied,
but she's not saying no.
**[04:47] Shi**
Maybe this is viable?
**[04:49] Kim**
So that means this direction is okay!
**[04:52] Miz**
You should check the durability, too.
**[04:54] Mie**
I brought a lion.
**[04:58] Mie**
All right, go get those bones!
**[05:01] Kim**
Why did you start with an end boss?!
**[05:07] Miz**
He's eating them like
they're bone crackers.
**[05:09] Kim**
Man, he snapped a bunch
off right at the base.
**[05:15] Mei**
The part where they join up is the weakest.
**[05:18] Shi**
I-Is he okay?
**[05:21] Kim**
You can't use them as
weapons if they've been eaten.
**[05:23] Kim**
Mars-san, is there a way to
make the joints stronger?
**[05:27] Hig**
Let's see.
**[05:28] Hig**
If you're fine with the bones not moving,
***SIGN*** Bone
***SIGN*** Joint
***SIGN*** Bone
**[05:31] Hig**
you could offset and double them up.
***SIGN*** Double Them Up

Oh, that's brittle.
**[05:38] Shi**
So tough!
**[05:39] Shi**
I see!

But there's a different downside.
**[05:43] Kim**
Let's implement that right away!
***SIGN*** Doubled-Up Bones
**[05:46] Kim**
Bring it on!
**[05:51] Miz**
His teeth are no match for
the reinforced bones!
**[05:55] Mei**
But won't that...
**[05:58] Shi**
Is that our usual trope again?!
**[06:02] Hig**
I knew it.
**[06:05] Hig**
Difficulty breathing.
**[06:06] Shi**
Difficulty breathing?
**[06:07] Shi**
It's not osteoporosis this time?
**[06:09] Hig**
It's hard to breathe without ribs.

Someone... help...
**[06:27] Miz**
Pluto-chan, didn't you make an animal
that can breathe without ribs?
**[06:32] Mei**
You mean the frog!
**[06:34] Shi**
Frogs don't have ribs?!
**[06:36] Mei**
When I made the leg bones tougher
to withstand big jumps,
**[06:40] Shi**
the ribs got in the way, so I removed them!
**[06:42] Shi**
Then how do they breathe?
**[06:44] Mei**
With determination!
***SIGN*** Bam
**[06:46] Shi**
Determination?
**[06:47] Mei**
It's just using determination
and its throat to breathe.
**[06:49] Shi**
So that state means it's
super-full of determination.
**[06:53] Miz**
You hear that, Jupiter?
Just use your determination.
**[06:57] Hig**
He's been breathing hard this whole time,
but he's still oxygen deprived.
**[07:00] Mei**
If you breathe without ribs and just
your throat, you get less oxygen,
**[07:05] Mei**
so frogs use cutaneous
respiration in addition.
**[07:08] Miz**
Want to turn into an amphibian
and make your skin slimy?
**[07:12] Kmi**
That's not what I envisioned.
**[07:14] Mei**
What about *not* using the
ribs to move the lungs?
**[07:17] Kim**
That's it!
***SIGN*** Exhale
**[07:19] Kim**
How about using the shoulder blades
I moved inside to move the lungs?
***SIGN*** Inhale
***SIGN*** Exhale
***SIGN*** Inhale
***SIGN*** Exhale
***SIGN*** Exhale
**[07:23] Hig**
That should be possible.
***SIGN*** Inhale
***SIGN*** Inhale
***SIGN*** Exhale
**[07:24] Hig**
I think it'll make your arms move
around every time you breathe, though.
***SIGN*** Inhale
***SIGN*** Exhale
***SIGN*** Inhale
***SIGN*** Exhale
**[07:29] Kim**
Applying that allowed me to breathe.
**[07:32] Shi**
Then why are you crawling like that?
**[07:34] Kim**
Well, it's really hard to move.
**[07:37] Hig**
Of course, fast animals
**[07:39] Hig**
bend their spines to attain a longer stride.
**[07:43] Shi**
Having an immobile back is
a bigger issue than I thought.
**[07:46] Miz**
But the organs are protected,
so it's fine, isn't it?
**[07:49] Kim**
All right, I'll make the ribs even longer!
**[07:53] Shi**
Oh, no, Jupiter-san! Is this...
**[07:57] Hig**
Yup, osteoporosis.
**[07:59] Shi**
I thought so.
**[08:01] Miz**
You need to reduce your calcium usage.
**[08:03] Kim**
I don't want to! The ribs are so cool now!
**[08:08] Kim**
I'd rather save somewhere else.
**[08:10] Kim**
Oh, yeah, the teeth!
They're veritable chunks of calcium!
**[08:14] Kim**
Let's lose the teeth and redistribute
that calcium to the ribs.
**[08:17] Hig**
How will you eat?
**[08:19] Miz**
How about Venus's bird system?
Grind it up in your stomach.
**[08:23] Mei**
Sounds good. Bird beaks are hardened skin,
so you barely need any calcium.
**[08:28] Kim**
Okay, let's go with that.
**[08:30] Mei**
I have a foundation now,
so I just need to sketch this.
**[08:33] Mei**
Aw, my hand moves when I breathe.
I can't draw like this.
**[08:37] Miz**
Just go back to normal!
**[08:38] Kim**
Oh, right.
**[08:41] Kim**
A beak instead of teeth!
**[08:43] Kim**
Reroute the extra calcium to the bones!
**[08:45] Kim**
Move the spine and ribs outside the body!
**[08:49] Kim**
Reinforce the bones by doubling them up!
**[08:51] Kim**
It'll be hard to move and get food,
**[08:53] Kim**
but we'll compensate for that
with an energy-saving body!
**[08:55] Kim**
Swap the position of the ribs
and the shoulder blades,
**[08:58] Kim**
and have the shoulder blades aid breathing!
***SIGN*** Turtle

**[09:08] Miz**
So its shell is made from ribs?

**[09:13] Mei**
The shell's pointless if the head gets eaten.
**[09:15] Kim**
I'll think about that now. Any good ideas?
**[09:18] Mei**
Turn the neck and stow the head away!
**[09:20] Kim**
I like that!
**[09:22] Shi**

This is the newt that fights by
poking its ribs out of the body!
**[10:16] Kim**
See, the ribs open up like this,
and go through the skin.
**[10:21] Hig**
The bones having a pointy tip is good design.
**[10:24] Hig**
It makes it easier for them to pierce the skin.
**[10:26] Hig**
But does this actually
have any defensive merit?
**[10:30] Kim**
What you didn't know is that
they are also poisonous!
**[10:34] Kim**
After they create a wound
with their bone spikes,
**[10:36] Kim**
applying that poison works really well!
**[10:39] Kim**
An' it hoits when y'try to eat 'em...

What's wrong, Shimoda-kun?
**[11:01] Una**
It's dangerous to stand

**[11:04] Shi**
I'm sorry! I just came here to see
how the project is progressing,
**[11:07] Shi**
but nobody is here.
**[11:09] Shi**
How is that "courting that
causes a throb" request going?
**[11:12] Tsu**
I think everybody is busy
behind those doors.
**[11:15] Ued**
I'm excited.
**[11:16] Una**
Tugging on the heart strings is
my forte, so I'm basically done.
**[11:20] Shi**
Is that yours?
**[11:23] Shi**
Just its looks alone are adorable!
**[11:27] Tsu**
But the others aren't coming out.
Maybe they're stuck?
**[11:31] Una**
Shimoda-kun, if you're
going to make the rounds,
**[11:33] Una**
I can come with you, if you want.
**[11:34] Shi**
Thank you, Neptune-san. That'll be helpful!
**[11:39] Shi**
Let's start with this door.

It's a skill.

It's hard to stay pretty.
**[12:11] Kan**
Yes, so hard to stay pretty!
**[12:15] Shi**
*She's enjoying singing that weird song.*
**[12:18] Kan**
A...ny...way!
**[12:21] Kan**
Anyway, it's not free!
**[12:22] Kan**
Not free!
**[12:24] Shi**
She transformed!
**[12:25] Kan**
Since I can afford to maintain
such beauty, my ability is superior!
**[12:34] Kan**
Lu la la...
**[12:36] Kan**

**[12:41] Kan**

**[12:42] Una**
Huh? Pretty?
**[12:45] Kan**
Lu la la...
**[12:46] Kan**

**[12:51] Una**
You are pretty...
**[12:55] Shi**
M-May I have a word?
**[12:57] Kan**
What is it? Can't you see I'm
working so hard on courtship here?
**[13:01] Shi**
Uh, well, I just wanted to confirm that
this is indeed your work in progress
**[13:04] Shi**
for the "courting that
causes a throb" request.
**[13:06] Kan**
Didn't that cause a heart to throb?!
**[13:08] Kan**
When birdies' feathers are beautiful,
they're saying they're healthy.
**[13:11] Kan**
When they sing well,
they're saying they're smart.
**[13:13] Kan**
Their sweet chirp-chirp lyrics
all basically mean this.
**[13:16] Shi**
I... I see. The only lyric I didn't quite
get was the "elongating flesh" one?
**[13:21] Kan**
That's about the birdies that grow
flesh to transform for love.
***SIGN*** Temminck's

Uh, well, it was really wonderful, but...
**[13:40] Ven**
But?
**[13:41] Una**
When it's just you, Ven-chan,
there's no frame of reference
**[13:44] Una**
for me to tell whether you're
better or worse than any other?
**[13:49] Kna**
Of course! How could I be so blind?
**[13:54] Kna**
Shimoda-kun, dance with me!
**[13:56] Kna**
Copy my moves!
**[14:01] Kna**
Here we go.
**[14:02] Kna**
Lu la la...
**[14:03] Shi**
Lu la la...
**[14:06] Kan**
And now? I'm better, right?!
**[14:09] Una**
Y-Yes.
**[14:11] Una**
Intense courting is more
embarrassing than adorable.
**[14:16] Kan**
That's it!
**[14:17] Kan**
I'll make my bad student come with
me to show off how good I am.
**[14:21] Kan**
That's a foolproof courting method.
**[14:23] Shi**
So as your bad student, I'm just
there to make you look better?
**[14:27] Kan**
For now!
**[14:29] Kan**
But the days you spend dancing with me
will surely pay off at some point.
**[14:33] Kan**
Shimoda-kun, I want you
to surpass me one day.
**[14:39] Kan**
And then, if I take on a student...
**[14:43] Kan**
You are the one to shine next!
**[14:46] Una**
I see! This is the love
between teacher and student.
**[14:49] Una**
That's a nice story.
**[14:51] Una**
That really did get to my heart.
**[14:53] Kan**

Let's go and talk to who's next.
**[15:20] Una**
Huh?
**[15:21] Shi**
It sounds like someone's having a fight.
**[15:24] Shi**
Is that Pluto-san, Mercury-san,
and Jupiter-san?
**[15:28] Una**
Wait, are the two of them
fighting over Pluto-chan?!
**[15:31] Shi**
Oh, no!
**[15:33] Shi**
Actually, no! It's not a fight,
more of a... duel?
**[15:36] Kim**
Yo! Should we start this,
and exit the friend zone?
**[15:38] Miz**
Yo! Should we settle this,

**[15:41] Kim**

**[15:43] Miz**
Sadly for you, it's my vocation to present.
**[15:45] Shi**
It's a rap battle!
**[15:47] Shi**
They're trying to judge who's the
best with a flurry of rhymes!
**[15:50] Una**
You seem oddly familiar
with this sort of thing, Shimoda-kun.
**[15:53] Kim**
Strength is appetite, gluttony emotion,
**[15:55] Kim**
always with a smile, ready to dig in!
**[15:57] Miz**
My strength is innovation,
**[15:58] Miz**
step to me, I'll make you feast on poison.
**[16:01] Miz**
I'm the only one, that's my style.
**[16:03] Kim**
You're the lonely one,
just a jeering smile.
**[16:05] Miz**
This has no end.
**[16:06] Kim**
But we must defend!
**[16:07] Both**
Who will win? That girl
decides who gets in!
**[16:09] Miz**
Interlude...
**[16:11] Kim**
You there, do some beatboxing!
**[16:14] Una**
What's "beatboxing"?
**[16:21] Miz**
I am noble, you are trouble!
**[16:22] Kim**
You are cynical, but I am lyrical!
**[16:25] Miz**
Always hungry, what's your issue?
**[16:27] Kim**
Always forcin' it, you're stuck in glue.
**[16:29] Both**
I'll be the one accepted, you're at a dead end!
**[16:32] Miz**
Neptune-san, be the judge please.
**[16:35] Una**
I can't! I don't know what's
good or bad in rapping.
**[16:38] Una**
Besides, isn't that what
Pluto-chan is here for?
**[16:41] Mei**
I'm sorry, the waterfall was too
loud for me to hear anything.
**[16:47] Shi**
Does that mean MC Mercury and
MC Jupiter's efforts were in vain?!
**[16:52] Miz**
No, not in vain. There's something
we can learn from this!
**[16:56] Kim**
We were trying to see if Pluto-chan's
heart would react if we sang her
**[16:59] Kim**
a love song in the same
environment as frogs do.
**[17:02] Shi**
Frogs? Oh, that's why we're by the water.
**[17:06] Kim**
No matter how hard you try,
if she can't hear, she can't hear!
**[17:09] Miz**
Neptune-san's "I don't get it"
was also helpful.
**[17:13] Kim**
No matter how sick our rhymes are,
**[17:15] Kim**
if the listener doesn't understand,
what's the point?
**[17:17] Una**
I'm s-sorry...
**[17:19] Shi**
So why is it rap for frogs?

**[17:41] Miz**
If we can't settle this by singing,
we'll have to resort to physical combat.

The stronger one will be chosen!
**[17:49] Both**
Bring it on!

They don't have to really fight.

You need to show off your power

Right, about your courting methods...

As a show of love, I do want you
to battle to show off your vigor,
**[19:44] Una**
but you saw that it's dangerous
to fight for real, right?
**[19:48] Una**
What should we do?
**[19:49] Una**
Since you guys dive in the ocean,
how about a lung capacity battle?
**[19:54] Una**
But I did like Ven-chan's transformation.
**[19:58] Una**
Lung capacity and transformation...
**[20:01] Una**
Maybe I'll try making them
inflate when they breathe in?
**[20:04] Shi**
Sounds good! Would they be like balloons?
**[20:07] Una**
Hm, they have ribs around their lungs,
so they can't inflate their entire body.
**[20:15] Una**
What is that?!
**[20:17] Shi**
*Something* got inflated there.
**[20:19] Una**
What? Where? What is that?
**[20:22] Shi**
Could that be its nose?

He also inflated it!

That's the skin above the nose.
**[21:41] Kim**
They battle with its size and
the sound of inflating it.
**[21:43] Kim**
If the opponent doesn't back
down with this... they do this!
**[21:47] Shi**
It's red! Doesn't that hurt?
**[21:50] Kim**
It doesn't hurt! "This redness
is my determination."
**[21:54] Kim**
"Do you have what it takes to do this?"
**[21:57] Kim**
"If you can't, I'll let
you off easy. Get out of here."
**[22:00] Kim**
All that is what it means!
**[22:02] Shi**
Where does that red balloon come from?
**[22:05] Shi**
Oh, it's from the nostril, right?
**[22:07] Kim**
Yeah, because that's a nasal membrane.
**[22:10] Shi**
By the way, where is your voice coming from?

This order is for...
**[01:33] God**
"An animal that tickles
one's maternal instincts."
**[01:37] God**
Cheers!
**[01:40] Shi**
A-All right, understood!
**[01:43] Shi**
So that's the word.
**[01:44] Kan**
Maternal instincts? So, basically an animal
that makes you want to protect it?
**[01:50] Kan**
It sounds fun, but I have
my hands full right now.
**[01:54] Una**
Aw, man. You could go all-out
making a cute animal!
**[01:58] Una**
But I'm also tied up in other work.
**[02:02] Shi**
Ah, I see.
**[02:05] Shi**
Then I'll go ask someone else.
**[02:09] Kim**
I'm in the pursuit of the ultimate
umami only crustaceans can possess,
**[02:14] Kim**
but I'm still not satisfied.
**[02:16] Shi**
I understand. Good luck.
**[02:20] Shi**
Everybody's so busy.
**[02:22] Shi**
Why does it always get busy when
everybody's already working?
**[02:25] Shi**
Is there no one who's free?
**[02:27] Mei**
Yes! I'm free. I'll do it!
**[02:31] Shi**
Oh... okay.
**[02:33] Shi**
*I have a bad feeling about this.*
**[02:35] Shi**
* Of course the one who seems least-suited*
* to this job is in charge of it now.*
**[02:40] Shi**
*I wonder if this'll be okay.*
**[02:43] Kim**
But that doesn't sound like
your area of expertise.
**[02:47] Kim**
Want some help?
**[02:48] Mei**
Hm, I think I'd like some advice.
**[02:52] Kim**
All right! Make something super cute, okay?
**[02:55] Mei**
Thank you! I'll do my best.
**[02:58] Shi**
* At first glance,*
* all might seem harmonious,*
**[03:01] Shi**
* but with these two together,*
* I get an even worse feeling.*
**[03:05] Kan**
That's a team that shouldn't
be allowed to talk about love.
**[03:08] Una**
I'm afraid they'll design something
where the children and parents eat each other.
**[03:14] Mei**
"Tickles the maternal instincts," huh?
**[03:18] Mei**
What kind of emotion does that evoke?
**[03:22] Kim**
Must be love.
**[03:24] Mei**
Love, huh?
**[03:26] Mei**
Is what you're making right
now a parent and its child?
**[03:29] Kim**
No, that's not it.
**[03:32] Kim**
This is a male imprisoning the female
with his long legs so she can't get away.
**[03:37] Kim**
I mean, the ocean is vast, right?
**[03:40] Kim**
The chance of meeting a good
female at the right time is low.
**[03:42] Kim**
That's why he imprisons her in his legs
so other males can't take her away,
**[03:47] Kim**
and waits until it's time for mating.
**[03:50] Crab**
You're a caged bird.
**[03:54] Crab**
But did I really capture you?
**[03:57] Crab**
Perhaps you have captured me.
**[04:00] Shi**
Uh...
**[04:01] Mei**
So love is imprisonment.
**[04:04] Una**
Imprison...
**[04:06] Kan**
...ment?
**[04:07] Una**
W-Wait, what's this imprisonment
you're talking about?
**[04:11] Kan**
Pluto-chan, we'd like to help too,
while we're taking a breather.
**[04:16] Kan**
Imprisonment is good, but have you
considered lovingly carrying the child?
**[04:21] Una**
Yeah! That's right.
**[04:23] Kan**
See, carrying is love!
**[04:26] Mei**
But those twins... One of them
will be left to die, right?
**[04:32] Shi**
Wh-Why would you even think that?!
**[04:35] Mei**
I mean, Neptune-san made the panda that way.
**[04:38] Mei**
They give birth to two and
keep the bigger one, right?
**[04:42] Mei**
Two cubs are born, but one's just a backup.
**[04:44] Una**
W-Well, I only set it up that
way so they can survive!
**[04:49] Mei**
Pandas' bodies having a
hard time taking in nutrients.
**[04:52] Shi**
It's just for rare emergencies, right?
**[04:55] Mei**
Down on Earth, the chances of that
emergency happening are quite high.
**[04:59] Una**
Listen, Pluto-chan...
**[05:01] Una**
Bears actually have the ability
to control when they give birth.
**[05:06] Una**
After mating with a male, the female
can put the pregnancy on hold.
***SIGN*** A Bear's Life Theater
**[05:11] Bear1**
I love you!
**[05:12] Bear2**
I love you!
**[05:13] Bear1**
Mwah!
**[05:14] Bear1**
All right, take care of the kids!
**[05:16] Bear2**
See ya.
**[05:18] Una**
If she didn't put it on hold
and gave birth right away,
**[05:21] Una**
it would get colder and colder...
**[05:22] Bear2**
There's no food, and it's
only getting colder.
**[05:25] Bear2**
We can't do this!
**[05:27] Una**
But if she puts the pregnancy
and birth on hold...
**[05:30] Bear2**
Heck yeah, it's spring!
Your mom's gonna do this!
**[05:34] Una**
So if conditions aren't difficult for the panda,
**[05:38] Una**
she will properly raise both cubs.
**[05:42] Kim**
But those two cubs are from
different fathers, right?
**[05:45] Shi**
She's seeing two guys?
**[05:47] Kim**
With that ability, she can see
different males at different times,
**[05:52] Kim**
but give birth all in one go.
**[05:55] Una**
It may not be the product of devoted
love between one male and one female,
**[05:59] Una**
but this is a strategy devised to
survive the harsh reality of nature.
**[06:03] Una**
The hope is that by raising different
types of cubs, at least one will make it.
**[06:08] Mei**
That was really helpful.
**[06:10] Shi**
*I have a bad feeling about this!*
**[06:11] Una**
Wait! What part of that
did you find helpful?
**[06:15] Una**
Forget the second half! Hugging!
**[06:17] Una**
Hugging is what love between
parents and children is!
**[06:20] Kan**
R-Right! Love between parents and children!
**[06:23] Kan**
That's right! And the father!
The father's love is important, too!
**[06:28] Mei**
The father?
**[06:29] Kan**
Yes! The father!
**[06:31] Kan**
It's called maternal instinct,
**[06:33] Kan**
but the love of a parent isn't
limited to the mother, right?
***SIGN*** House
Sparrow
**[06:37] Kan**
There are a lot of animals
where the father rears the child.
**[06:40] Kan**
For instance, take a look at this sparrow.
**[06:43] Shi**
That's so cute! They take
turns feeding the chick.
**[06:47] Kan**
The father takes part in
rearing the child, too.
**[06:50] Kan**
Isn't that wonderful? They're cooperating.
**[06:52] Kan**
These babies also share
food with their flock.
**[06:56] Kan**
Watch this.
**[06:58] Bird**
Wow, so much food.
**[07:00] Bird**
I have to tell everyone
about this. Everybody!
**[07:03] Birds**
Yay, food! Food!
**[07:06] Shi**
Oh, you're right.
**[07:07] Shi**
They're all eating together.
**[07:10] ---**
See?
**[07:11] Kim**
Hm...
**[07:13] Kim**
Are they really cooperating?
**[07:17] Kim**
If they were truly cooperating,
**[07:19] Kim**
they should be calling their friends even
if there was just enough food for one bird.
**[07:23] Bird**
Yay, food! But just a little.
**[07:31] Shi**
It's not calling its friends, huh?
**[07:33] Kim**
It's actually hogging the food.
**[07:35] Kim**
Isn't it bad to keep secrets amongst friends?
**[07:38] Kim**
But it's not like we're making
these animals to be morally pure.
**[07:44] Bir**
The jig's up! Oh, well. All that
matters is my survival!
**[07:48] Kan**
O-Oh, fine.
**[07:49] Kan**
The reason they're calling their friends
is not just for sharing the food.
**[07:54] Kan**
The chance of being attacked
by a predator is lower
**[07:57] Kan**
when they're eating together
than when they eat alone!
**[08:02] Kim**
The "Ate My Money Away" Detective
sees through all smoke and mirrors!
**[08:05] Kan**
You're still doing that bit?
**[08:08] Mei**
That was really helpful.
**[08:09] Kan**
Wait! What part of that
did you find helpful?
**[08:13] Kan**
Forget the second half!
**[08:14] Kan**
Remember parental love in the form of
the father also raising the child!
**[08:17] Kan**
Please use that as inspiration!
***SIGN*** A Few Hours Later
**[08:23] Mei**
All right, here's my presentation.
**[08:26] Shi**
* I wonder what she made.*
* I'm a little excited, and a little scared...*
**[08:31] Kan**
Huh, where are Jupiter and Neptune-san?
**[08:34] Mei**
Jupiter-san was shouting, "It's not the
big crab's fault that it tastes bad!"
**[08:39] Mei**
"It's the cooking method's fault!"
**[08:42] Mei**
Then he went off to Galapagos to put the whole
crab into a pot without cutting it up.
**[08:47] Kan**
That guy...
**[08:48] Shi**
So he's making pots instead of animals.
**[08:52] Mei**
Neptune-san also went to
Galapagos to test his bear.
**[08:57] Mei**
But since you're here,
I'll do my presentation anyway.
**[09:00] Shi**
Yes.
**[09:02] Mei**
First, the visual:
**[09:03] Mei**
Round and fluffy.
**[09:06] Mei**
Not good?
**[09:07] Shi**
N-No, it was just unexpected!
**[09:10] Kan**
Don't mind us. Please, continue.
**[09:13] Mei**
The father will lovingly carry this.
**[09:17] Shi**
Th-This is unexpected.
Carrying something fluffy!
**[09:21] Kan**
Could this lead to the golden
standard of cuteness?
**[09:25] Kan**
So that fluffy thing is the child?
**[09:27] Mei**
No.
**[09:29] Mei**
This white bag is a parasite's egg!
**[09:35] Mei**
The main body has the ability to burrow into
the host's body, like the root of a plant.
**[09:40] Mei**
Then it invades the host's nervous system,
**[09:42] Mei**
and makes it think that the
fluffy thing is its own child.
**[09:45] Mei**
The host will hug this bag to its chest,
and protect "its child" for the parasite.
**[09:52] Mei**
Oh, and if a male is infested, a hormonal
imbalance will feminize the host.
***SIGN*** I am your mother!
**[09:58] Ued**
That's so wonderful.
**[10:00] Mei**

**[10:11] Kan**
You haven't even said what it parasitizes.
**[10:14] Mei**
Oh, that's true.
**[10:15] Mei**
Since you helped me, I'll have
it infest something you made.
**[10:19] Kan**
Wait!
**[10:21] Kan**
It wouldn't be right for me
to have the honor alone!
**[10:23] Kan**
I-I know!
**[10:28] Una**
So you called us all together...
**[10:31] Kim**
...because more candidates means a lower
chance that your creation will be picked.
**[10:35] Kim**
Just like when the sparrows
eat food together.
**[10:38] Kan**
I just couldn't stay calm!
**[10:41] Mei**
This is hard.
**[10:42] Mei**
I want it to be lovingly held,
**[10:46] Mei**
so I'll go for the crab, since it
has so many arms to hug with!
**[10:49] Una**
Thank you!
**[10:50] Kan**
I'm safe!
**[10:52] Ued**
Congratulations, Jupiter-kun.

**[10:59] Kim**
So the crab thinks this
fluffy thing on its abdomen
**[11:02] Kim**
is its own egg sac, and it's
guarding it vigilantly.
**[11:06] Mei**
But those are really the eggs of the
Rhizocephala parasite.
**[11:09] Kim**
I wonder how the crab feels about that.
**[11:12] Mei**
Not sure, but infested crabs have long lives.
**[11:16] Mei**
That's because they don't use energy for
reproduction and take care of themselves instead.
**[11:20] Kim**
So it's not all that bad, then.
**[11:22] Kim**
What are Rhizocephala anyway? Insects?
**[11:26] Mei**
No, they're crustaceans.
**[11:28] Kim**
Crustaceans? So, relatives of the crab?
**[11:31] Kim**
Is a crab hitching a ride on a crab, then?
**[11:34] Kim**
That means the eggs might be tasty.
***SIGN*** Tasting. . .
**[11:41] Kim**
Tastes a bit like urchin. I might like this.
**[11:45] Mei**
I like Rhizocephala, too.
We're the same, Jupiter-san.

Can I have a word from

**[12:27] Kan**
The best way to counteract
the cold is to put on fat.
**[12:31] Kan**
I believe the contestants will
make fat, flightless birds.
**[12:35] Tsu**
If it's an island of ice,
there won't be many enemies,
**[12:37] Tsu**
so being flightless should be fine.
**[12:39] Shi**
I see! That's an excellent prediction!
**[12:41] Shi**
All right then, contestants,

please do your best

Question
***SIGN*** What's the ideal amphibious body
for living on an island of ice!?
**[13:00] Shi**
Question 1!
**[13:01] Shi**
What's the ideal amphibious body
for living on an island of ice?
**[13:04] Tsu**
I'm surprised Shimoda-kun's so enthusiastic.
**[13:07] Kan**
Speaking of, apparently he knows
quite a bit about rap, too.
**[13:11] Una**
This is mine.
**[13:14] Kim**
Then this is mine.
**[13:16] Shi**
Oh, they both look the
same... Wait a minute.
**[13:23] Shi**
Those legs are so long!
**[13:25] Shi**
Their coloring is the same,
but now we have both leg extremes!
**[13:30] Shi**
What do you say, Venus-san?
**[13:32] Kan**
As expected, both of them are good.
**[13:33] Shi**
Did you hear this? High praise!
**[13:36] Kan**
For the fish, this coloring
is the hardest to spot.
**[13:40] Fish**
Since it's dark in the deep,
black is hard to see.
**[13:43] Fish**
Since the surface is blinding,
white's also hard to see.
**[13:45] Tsu**
This reminds me of Pluto-kun's squid.
**[13:49] Shi**
Indeed, this is like the
smokescreen of light!
**[13:51] Shi**
Then let's switch over to
Mars-san and get her judgment.
**[13:54] Shi**
Mars-san, are you ready?
**[13:57] Hig**
Yes, I'm here.
**[13:58] Hig**
Hello, I'm currently on Galapagos.
**[14:01] Hig**
I've covered the island with ice,
so we'll be testing the birds here.
**[14:05] Hig**
Should I send you a visual?
**[14:07] Shi**
All right, it looks like the battle
will take place there!
**[14:10] Shi**
Who will the goddess of
victory favor this time?!
**[14:14] Hig**
*Uh, what's going on, here?*
**[14:17] Kan**
The presentation right before this
one left a bit of bad taste in my mouth.
**[14:21] Kan**
That's why Shimoda-kun suggested
a light-hearted competition.
**[14:24] Tsu**
From time to time, something like this is fine.
**[14:28] Hig**
*Uh... thank you for the explanation.*
**[14:31] Hig**
* Well, whatever. I'll have the*
* two birds go to the ocean now.*
**[14:34] Hig**
* It'll be a race to see who*
* can catch a fish faster!*
**[14:38] Shi**
Ready, set, go!
**[14:43] Una**
*You got this!*
**[14:44] Kim**
*Nice!*
**[14:55] Kim**
All right, that's elegant!
**[14:57] Shi**
Now, a question for the contestants.
**[14:59] Shi**
How does your bird swim?
***SIGN*** Light! Weak!
**[15:02] Una**
Its flaps its arms to propel itself forward.
***SIGN*** Heavy! Robust!
**[15:04] Una**
Since it doesn't fly, I was able to
make its bones thick and sturdy.
**[15:08] Kan**
Did you forget how much trouble I went
through to make the birdies light?!
**[15:12] Kim**
Mine also kicks its legs!
**[15:14] Shi**
Wow, that looks fast!
**[15:17] Shi**
And they're already back!
**[15:19] Shi**
Were they able to catch a fish?
**[15:21] Shi**
Who reigned supreme?!
**[15:23] Shi**
The difference is clear as day!
**[15:28] Shi**
Team Neptune was able to secure a fish.
**[15:31] Hig**
* Looks like the one with the shorter*
* legs is a better swimmer.*
**[15:35] Shi**
I thought the leg kick would
make for a faster swimmer.
**[15:38] Hig**
* Actually, no. Kicking your legs*
* increases your water resistance,*
**[15:43] Hig**
*so that's more of a hindrance.*
**[15:46] Shi**
Down! Our usual trope is
back with a vengeance!
**[15:49] Shi**
Mars-san, what's the cause here?
**[15:52] Hig**
Hypothermia.
**[15:55] Shi**
The cold! Downed by the cold!
**[15:58] Shi**
That's fatal in the coldest of seas!
**[16:02] Hig**
Looks like the one with the long
legs got cold in the ocean.
**[16:06] Tsu**
With legs that long, it has
a lot of exposed surface area.
**[16:11] Hig**
The rounder an animal's body is,
the smaller the area exposed to the elements.
**[16:17] Hig**
You know how wolves do that, too?
**[16:19] Shi**
Now that you mention it...
**[16:20] Kim**
Hold up!
**[16:22] Kim**
If that's true, the short-legged one shouldn't
be able to stand on the ice for so long!
**[16:27] Kim**
I had a reason for making the legs long.
***SIGN*** Chilled
by the ice
**[16:30] Kim**
With the long legs, we can entwine
cold veins with warm arteries,

***SIGN*** Doesn't get cold
**[16:34] Kim**
thereby equalizing the temperature.
***SIGN*** Chilled

***SIGN*** Body gets cold
**[16:37] Kim**
With short legs,
**[16:38] Kim**
there's no room for
the temperatures to equalize.
**[16:41] Kim**
The cold blood goes straight into the body.
**[16:44] Shi**
Oh, that sounds unpleasantly chilly!
**[16:47] Shi**
So there was a reason for those long legs.
**[16:50] Shi**
But this one doesn't look like it'll collapse.
**[16:53] Shi**
Is its core not cold?
**[16:56] Kim**
Why not?!
**[16:56] Una**
Actually, that one has long legs, too.
**[17:02] Una**
They're squatting inside their bodies.
**[17:03] Una**
It's like doing a Slav squat,
then pulling your jacket over your knees.
**[17:07] Tsu**
To see Neptune-kun squat like that...
**[17:10] Kan**
That's a rare sight.
**[17:11] Shi**
Imagine that! Neptune-san also made
the legs long to thwart the cold!
**[17:17] Shi**
Neptune-san pulls ahead
with the first point!
**[17:21] Tsu**
Ah, that's what that is for.
**[17:23] Kim**
I won't lose the next round!
**[17:25] Shi**
Then let's get to the next question!
**[17:27] Txt**
Question
***SIGN*** How do you ensure that the fish
don't get away?
**[17:28] Shi**
How do you ensure that the fish don't get away?
**[17:33] Una**
I made its beak big and jagged.
**[17:37] Una**
That's so it can have a good grip
on the fish while it swims.
**[17:40] Shi**
I see!
**[17:41] Shi**
On the other hand, Jupiter-san's
bird doesn't look visibly changed.
**[17:48] Kim**
Did that surprise you?
**[17:49] Kan**
Hey! Can you not break the bounds
of the bird category?
**[17:53] Tsu**
Mars-kun, what's your verdict here?
**[17:55] Hig**
*Both of them have issues.*
**[17:58] Hig**
* A bigger beak means that*
* more heat escapes through it,*
**[18:01] Hig**
*so it might get cold.*
**[18:04] Hig**
* The problem with Jupiter-san's idea is that*
* opening the mouth so wide lets heat escape, too.*
**[18:08] Hig**
*Barbs on the tongue are a good idea, though,*
**[18:11] Hig**
* They make it harder*
* for fish to get away.*
**[18:13] Shi**
Jupiter-san's idea is accepted!
**[18:15] Kim**
Yay!
**[18:17] Kim**
All right, then let's make the tongue barbed.
**[18:20] Shi**
Onto the next question, then!
**[18:22] Txt**
Question
***SIGN*** Can it survive by drinking sea water?
**[18:23] Shi**
Can it survive by drinking sea water?!
**[18:27] Tsu**
Ven-chan, aren't there already a few
coastal animals that have this ability?
**[18:33] Kan**
There are quite a few animals
**[18:35] Kan**
that filter out salt from the water
and eject it through some body fluid.
**[18:39] Una**
Then he'll dispose of it through tears.
**[18:41] Kim**
No, through snot!
***SIGN*** Sea Gull Style
***SIGN*** Sea Turtle Style
**[18:44] Shi**
I always felt bad for sea turtles because
they're crying while laying their eggs.
**[18:49] Kan**
They're just disposing of
salt through their eyes.
**[18:53] Shi**
I never knew.
**[18:56] Shi**
Then over to you, Mars-san!
**[18:58] Hig**
*Right, tears versus snot. Let's take a look.*
**[19:06] Hig**
Oh, this one goes to snot.
**[19:09] Hig**
Snot can be shaken off,
**[19:11] Hig**
but the tears leave the
face encrusted with salt.
**[19:15] Shi**
That means Jupiter-san gets yet
another point and is in the lead!
**[19:22] Kan**
The sea turtle is almost always in
the water, so the tears don't dry.
**[19:27] Tsu**
Right.
**[19:28] Txt**
Question
***SIGN*** The chick design!
**[19:28] Shi**
Now, the next question is about the chick design!
**[19:31] Una**
The chick needs to be cute!
**[19:33] Kim**
The chick needs to be safe.
**[19:35] Hig**
* The thorns will keep both*
* friend and foe away!*
**[19:40] Hig**
* Since that prevents huddling*
* to stay warm, that's rejected!*
**[19:42] Shi**
Neptune-san's fluffy one wins!
**[19:45] Txt**
Question
***SIGN*** What's its secret for staying underwater
for a long time?
**[19:45] Shi**
Next question: What's its secret for
staying underwater for a long time?
**[19:49] Shi**
What will they do?!
**[19:50] Una**
Breathe in a lot of air?
**[19:52] Una**
No, that'll make it float...
**[19:54] Kim**
Let's make it a poikilotherm,
then lower the temperature of organs
**[19:58] Kim**
not used underwater, to the point
where it's half-dead.
**[20:00] Hig**
*That's good!*
**[20:02] Hig**
*That'll lower its oxygen consumption.*
**[20:04] Tsu**
Being half-dead while
swimming sure is novel.
**[20:08] Kan**
That may be too novel to still be a bird.
**[20:11] Shi**
The point goes to Jupiter-san!
**[20:13] Txt**
Question
***SIGN*** How will the children recognize
their parents
**[20:13] Shi**
Next up: How will the children
recognize their parents?
**[20:16] Una**
The parent will talk to it before it hatches,
letting the child learn its voice.
***SIGN*** I'm your dad
***SIGN*** Dad
**[20:20] Kim**
Each face will have a different pattern.
**[20:22] Hig**
*You can't see a pattern in a snow storm.*
**[20:24] Hig**
*Rejected.*
**[20:25] Shi**
That's a point for Neptune-san!
**[20:27] Shi**
Neither of them are yielding,
and we go into the final round with a tie!
**[20:31] Shi**
The battle for the bird that lives on
an icy island has become really heated!
**[20:35] Shi**
Let's hear how our two
contestants are feeling!
**[20:39] Shi**
How is it going, Neptune-san?
**[20:40] Una**
Um, this is harder than I thought.
I'll do my best.
**[20:44] Shi**
Jupiter-san, how about you?
**[20:47] Kim**
A lot more passed than I expected.
**[20:50] Kim**
I just did the opposite
of Neptune-san's ideas.
**[20:53] Shi**
Oh! That's brutally honest!
**[20:58] Shi**
Now, let us move on to the final question!
***SIGN*** What if there's no food while raising the child
**[20:58] Txt**
Question
**[21:00] Shi**
What if there's no food while raising the child?
**[21:03] Kan**
That's a key factor for surviving
in extreme cold.
**[21:07] Shi**
What are your answers?!
**[21:09] Una**
The parents will fast!
**[21:10] Shi**
Poor things!
**[21:12] Kim**
The chicks will fast!
**[21:13] Shi**
Poor things!
**[21:16] Shi**
Mars-san, what is your judgment here?
**[21:19] Hig**
That's really hard to say.
**[21:21] Hig**
Since they're flightless,
they can pack on body fat,
**[21:25] Hig**
so their bodies are suited to fasting.
**[21:27] Hig**
But which to pick?
**[21:28] Shi**
Who...
**[21:29] Shi**
Who will be the winner?!
**[21:36] God**
Both are accepted!
***SIGN*** King Penguin
***SIGN*** Emperor Penguin
***SIGN*** Accepted
***SIGN*** Accepted
**[21:41] Shi**
God has spoken!
**[21:42] Hig**
*Literally the Word of God!*
**[21:45] Shi**
Congratulations, Neptune-san, Jupiter-san!
**[21:52] Shi**
Since both were accepted by God,
**[21:54] Shi**
you're apparently free to add a
quality of your own choosing.
**[21:57] Una**
Then I'll make an alternate
design for the chick.
**[22:00] God**
That chick is accepted, too!
***SIGN*** Accepted
***SIGN*** Emperor Penguin
Chick
**[22:04] Kim**
I'll, hmm... get rid of the round
pupils and make them square.
***SIGN*** Accepted
**[22:11] Shi**
That's kind of scary!
**[22:12] Kim**
I'm so happy.

**[00:00] 213**
Wait! I said wait!
**[00:02] 213**
It's dangerous outside!
**[00:03] Guy**
I am still leaving this place!
**[00:06] 213**
Why are you unhappy?
It's perfectly safe here!
**[00:09] Guy**
What is perfect here?
**[00:11] Guy**
Here, we're controlled by the queen!
**[00:14] Guy**
Or are you going to fight the queen with me?
**[00:18] 213**
It's futile. Have you forgotten about #72?
**[00:22] Guy**
See? That's brainwashing!
**[00:24] Guy**
Listen, you be careful, too.
Especially of the queen's—
**[00:29] Guy**
Someone's coming.
**[00:30] Guy**
This is my chance. I'm leaving.
**[00:32] 213**
W-Wait!
**[00:34] 213**
Don't go!
**[00:37] Shi**
*I walked into something really intense.*
***SIGN*** Heaven's Design Team
**[02:16] 213**
You have an unusual aura.
Are you a traveler?
**[02:19] Shi**
Uh, I guess so.
**[02:21] 213**
I am sorry that you had to witness that.
**[02:24] 213**
Welcome to our queendom.
**[02:25] Shi**
Um, I feel like I shouldn't be here.
**[02:28] Shi**
I interrupted you, didn't I?
**[02:30] 213**
No, I welcome you warmly.
**[02:32] 213**
This is a perfect society, a paradise
ruled by our perfect queen.
**[02:38] 213**
But sometimes there are people
who defect, like him.
**[02:42] 213**
Common folk with few opportunities
for an audience with the queen
**[02:46] 213**
lose their sense of reverence.
**[02:48] 213**
It's sad.
**[02:50] Shi**
Your queen must be amazing.
**[02:53] 213**
Once you meet our queen, you will understand
how wonderful and magnificent she is.
**[02:57] 213**
If you would like, I can show you the way.
**[03:03] 233**
Oh, #213!
**[03:05] 248**
Who's that with you?
**[03:07] 233**
Is that a traveler?!
**[03:08] 316**
He doesn't smell like the swarm, and he's
wearing black, so he must be a traveler!
**[03:12] 316**
How cool!
**[03:14] Shi**
H-Hello.
**[03:15] 213**
Calm down, you lot. You can see that
you're bothering him.
**[03:18] 213**
Get back to work.
**[03:20] 248**
All right.
**[03:21] 233**
Oh, #213. There's a message
saying that new food was discovered.
**[03:27] 233**
So tunnel #46, which was being expanded,
is now a food store.
**[03:30] 213**
I see. That's good news.
**[03:33] 213**
I was just thinking that we
should treat our guest properly.
**[03:36] 213**
I'll go there now. Thank you.
**[03:39] 233**
Goodbye, traveler!
**[03:51] Shi**
*It's so big.*
**[03:53] Shi**
*I could easily get lost here.*
**[03:55] 213**
Esteemed guest, what number
did you have in your land?
**[03:59] Shi**
You mean my name?
**[04:01] Shi**
I don't have a number.
My name is Shimoda.
**[04:03] 213**
"Shimoda"? I see, your land uses
different names than ours.
**[04:08] Shi**
Anyway, everybody here looks quite similar.
**[04:12] Shi**
It's hard to tell the girls and the boys apart.
**[04:15] 213**
There is no such a distinction.
**[04:16] 213**
Unlike the queen and her few husbands,
**[04:18] 213**
we workers not sexually developed
and are all equal.
**[04:21] Shi**
That's interesting. So if all
the workers are young people,
**[04:25] Shi**
what do the elderly do?
**[04:27] 213**
"Elderly"? What... is that?
**[04:31] Shi**
Uh, um, like when you live long and get old?
**[04:35] 213**
Oh, I've heard of that! But we don't age.
**[04:41] 213**
In this perfect society,
there's no such thing as growing old.
**[04:44] 213**
We don't get cancer, either.
**[04:45] Shi**
No cancer? That's amazing!
**[04:47] 213**
While only our queen can have children,
**[04:50] 213**
we are all more similar than mere siblings,
and thus look nearly identical.
**[04:54] 213**
Instead of clinging to individual happiness,
**[04:56] 213**
we prioritize the happiness
of the entire land.
**[04:59] 213**
That's how we do things.
**[05:01] Shi**
This really could be a perfect society.
**[05:04] 213**
This is the food store.
**[05:06] Shi**
Here? There's nothing here.
**[05:12] Shi**
*Wait, am I the food?!*
**[05:24] 213**
Is something wrong, Shimoda-dono?
**[05:26] 213**
Please, have some potato.
**[05:28] Shi**
P-P-Potato?
**[05:30] 213**
Yes, everything that's a
different color is potato.
**[05:33] 213**
Since this is a giant underground queendom,
**[05:36] 213**
we dig our tunnels into potatoes
and use them as food.
**[05:39] Shi**
So it's an edible tunnel.
**[05:42] 213**
As yesterday's potato was a clustering type,
***SIGN*** View of the Entire Queendom
**[05:45] 213**
I thought that digging around the
vicinity would lead to more of them.
**[05:49] 213**
Fill the holes with dirt after you eat.
**[05:51] 213**
That way it will regenerate,
and we'll have more to eat.
**[05:55] Bob**
All right!
**[05:57] Shi**
You're so knowledgeable.
**[06:00] 213**
No, I just pass on what
I learned from #72.
**[06:03] Shi**
#72?
**[06:05] 213**
Yes, this is #72's notebook.
**[06:09] 213**
Prior to me, #72 was
the one responsible
**[06:12] 213**
for developing the remote regions.
**[06:15] 213**
I learned how to distinguish different
types of potato, how to cultivate them,
**[06:18] 213**
and many other things
by reading this notebook.
**[06:21] 213**
But at the end...
**[06:23] 213**
There was a sentence that read:
"I am thinking of defying the queen."
**[06:27] Shi**
Eek! Where's that person now?
**[06:30] 213**
The bloodstains tell the tale.
**[06:32] 213**
Those who rebel against
the queen are killed.
**[06:35] 213**
Foolish #72... Why did
you ever think to do that?
**[06:40] Que**
Let it be.
**[06:41] Que**
There's no point in wondering
about things like that.
**[06:45] 213**
My queen!
**[06:47] 213**
I am honored that you
would come out this far!
**[06:51] Que**
It's only natural for a queen
to survey all of her queendom.
**[06:55] Que**
Although, it would be a little troublesome
if the queendom spread too far.
**[07:00] Que**
Developer #213, it's been awhile.
**[07:04] Que**
If you are too devoted to your work,
I cannot give you this.
**[07:14] 213**
What an honor, to receive this
directly from Her Highness's hand!
**[07:18] Que**
Do visit sometimes, and don't go
overboard with development.
**[07:23] 213**
You are too kind to me.
**[07:25] Que**
Are you a traveler?
**[07:27] Shi**
Y-Yes!
**[07:28] Que**
We rarely get guests.
**[07:30] Que**
Do take in everything our land has to offer.
**[07:37] Que**
Your queen is so elegant!
**[07:39] 213**
Isn't she? Our queen was not born a queen.
**[07:44] 213**
The strongest, most diligent
worker becomes the queen.
**[07:48] Shi**
Oh, so it's not hereditary succession,
but a merit-based society.
**[07:53] 213**
Yes, and she's always looking
out for our health.
**[07:57] 213**
This is a health supplement.
**[07:59] 213**
I am so grateful.
**[08:00] Shi**
Wow.
**[08:02] 213**
If you would like, you can have this.
**[08:03] 213**
I can get another one later.
**[08:05] Shi**
Oh, thank you.
**[08:09] 213**
I will show you the nursery next.
**[08:12] Shi**
Sure!
***SIGN*** Packed...
**[08:18] Shi**
Wh-Why are they laying under the babies?
**[08:21] 213**
Their duty is being the bed.
**[08:23] Shi**
Being the bed?!
**[08:24] Shi**
There are about three people
stacked up for each bed.
**[08:27] Shi**
Isn't that a lot of weight for
the ones on the bottom?
**[08:29] Shi**
Can they breathe?
**[08:30] 213**
Probably not.
**[08:33] 213**
But as we are perfect, we are
fairly fine even without oxygen.
**[08:37] Shi**
Fairly...
**[08:38] Shi**
*Is that perfection, though?*
**[08:41] Shi**
Please hang in there!
**[08:43] 213**
Our queendom is underground, after all,
**[08:45] 213**
so there's not a lot of oxygen—
**[08:47] Shi**
Wh-What's that?!
**[08:49] 213**
We're under attack.
**[08:50] Shi**
What? Oh, no!
**[08:53] 213**
Those are my siblings who are
assigned to guard duty.
**[08:56] 213**
We can just leave it to them,
and we'll be fine.
**[08:58] Shi**
The guards must be strong, then.
**[09:00] 213**
No.
**[09:01] 213**
They're just going to block the entrance,
so they'll be eaten by the enemy first.
**[09:06] Shi**
There's such a terrifying role?!
**[09:09] 213**
As perfect beings, we don't feel much pain,
**[09:13] 213**
so if I were assigned to the guard class,
I would go to be eaten.
**[09:17] Shi**
That's terrible!
**[09:18] Shi**
Are the classes that absolute?!
**[09:20] Shi**
Even though you said becoming
queen is based on merit?
**[09:23] Shi**
Which means, in this land, someone
like you could become queen as well!
**[09:28] 213**
I-I've never... That's... No...
**[09:32] Guy**
See? That's brainwashing!
Listen, you be careful, too.
**[09:34] Guy**
Especially of the queen's—
**[09:35] 213**
That must be it.
**[09:36] 213**
Why did I never think of that?
**[09:39] 213**
All I cared about was being loyal.
**[09:42] 213**
Is this brainwashing?
**[09:44] Que**
So you noticed.
**[09:47] Que**
I gave you a supplement.
**[09:50] Que**
Did you not take it?
**[09:53] 213**
I get it!
**[09:54] 213**
You were making us take that
supplement at every opportunity.
**[09:57] 213**
That's what you used to brainwash us.
**[09:59] 213**
Since he worked in the far reaches,
he rarely saw you.
**[10:02] 213**
Thus the effect on him wore off,
and he left the queendom.
**[10:05] Que**
Clever child. I've been
waiting for this moment.
**[10:14] 213**
I will defeat you and become queen!
**[10:19] 213**
I won't be controlled by you anymore!
**[10:38] 213**
#72?
**[10:40] 213**
Why do you have that number?!
**[10:43] 213**
No... it can't be!
**[10:47] 213**
#72!
**[10:50] Que**
I'll leave the rest to you, #213.
**[10:55] 213**
#72!
**[11:01] Shi**
I feel like I saw something
I shouldn't have.

Welcome back, Shimoda-kun.

Well, it was perfect in many ways.
**[11:13] Mei**
Yay!
**[11:15] Hig**
What did you think of the new system?
**[11:17] Hig**
I designed it so you can
experience the animals' society
**[11:20] Hig**
from the viewpoint of someone in it.
**[11:22] Shi**
The immersion was so deep that I'm
exhausted, but it felt hyper realistic.
**[11:27] Hig**
That's great.
**[11:29] Hig**
You can see the inside of nests
that you normally couldn't,
**[11:31] Hig**
or understand the animals' social structure.
**[11:35] Shi**
Um, since I was seeing things
from the animals' perspective,
**[11:38] Shi**
everybody looked roughly like me,
**[11:41] Shi**
but in reality they look different, right?

Their true size and appearance is this!

Huh? Ears? Where are they?
**[12:44] Tsu**
Right here.
**[12:45] Tsu**
They don't have earlobes, as they
could get caught in the tunnels.
**[12:49] Ued**
Oh, so earlobes stick out too far?
**[12:52] Ued**
That means the queen's tummy would get
stuck in the tunnels when she's pregnant, too.
**[12:56] Tsu**
Correct! That's why the queen actually
gets longer when she's pregnant.
**[13:01] Tsu**
Being longer is not such a
detriment in a tight space.
**[13:04] Tsu**
She goes to that length
to continue her patrols.
**[13:07] Ued**
I thought she would at least
rest when she's pregnant.
**[13:09] Tsu**
Being queen doesn't sound too easy.
**[13:13] Ued**
The more I hear of her hardships, the more
I want to go have a drink with her once.
**[13:25] Shi**
Maybe I went overboard and made too much.
**[13:28] Shi**
I hope they'll like my gift
of angel bean paste buns.
**[13:35] Shi**
Right! I have God's new order here, too!
**[13:40] Shi**
Hel...oh?!
**[13:42] Tsu**
The time has come!
**[13:44] Tsu**
O beast, darker than night,
heed my call!
**[13:48] Tsu**
Darkness, accept my life as payment.
**[13:52] Tsu**
Now, with my blood,
this contract shall be sealed!
**[13:56] Shi**
You have to stop!
**[13:56] Tsu**
Hey, watch out!
**[13:58] Tsu**
What's wrong? Is there an
issue with this delivery?!
**[14:01] Shi**
Delivery? You were in the
middle of a delivery?
**[14:05] Tsu**
Yes. See what you interrupting did?
**[14:09] Tsu**
He got stuck mid-transfer!
**[14:12] Shi**
It's like a fax transmission error,
but it's a huge demon.
**[14:16] Shi**
I am so sorry! It looked really bad,
so I thought you were in danger.
**[14:21] Tsu**
Oh, it scared you, and you're
an angel! Well done, me.
**[14:25] Shi**
This was your work, Chief Saturn?
**[14:29] Tsu**
Yes, I got an order from
Hell for a familiar.
**[14:32] Shi**
Oh, from Yokota-san.
**[14:34] Tsu**
The order was for an "animal that can
communicate without using sound."
**[14:39] Tsu**
So I made a creature that is able to
receive and send pheromones through the air.
**[14:43] Tsu**
The male goat can secrete volatile
pheromones from its fur.
**[14:47] Shi**
Huh, pheromone communication, is it?
**[14:50] Tsu**
Those horns are antennae
for receiving pheromones.
**[14:53] Shi**
Th-They move.
**[14:55] Ins**
Yes! They are antennae, after all.
**[14:57] Shi**
You're from the insect department.
**[14:58] Tsu**
The insect department has a lot of
pheromone expertise, so I asked them for help.
**[15:03] Ins**
The magic circle is the address,
and the blood is the password!
**[15:07] Ins**
Unlike us, raw tissue can't be
transported with lightning.
**[15:11] Shi**
Ah, right.
**[15:12] Kan**
Hm, it doesn't look like
we can dislodge it easily.
**[15:17] Miz**
What are we going to do?
**[15:19] Mei**
What's this?
**[15:20] Shi**
Oh, I brought those
bean paste buns as a gift.
**[15:22] Tsu**
Thank you! I love bean paste buns.
Let's take a break.
**[15:26] Ins**
Am I invited as well?
**[15:28] Tsu**
Of course.
**[15:29] All**
Thank you!
**[15:33] Una**
It's filled with white bean paste!
**[15:36] Kim**
So angels fill their buns
with white bean paste.
**[15:39] Tsu**
I always thought that
bean paste buns went best with milk,
**[15:41] Tsu**
but these would go well
with green tea, too.
**[15:43] Shi**
I also brought this new order.
**[15:47] Kna**
Aw, we're on break.
**[15:49] Kna**
Let me see what the client ordered now.
**[15:53] God**
An animal that rejuvenates!
**[15:57] Kan**
Another one that sounds annoying.
**[16:00] Shi**
Um, I guess freeing animals from
the curse of aging is difficult?
**[16:05] Una**
Aging is not a curse.
**[16:07] Miz**
If anything, it's a blessing.
**[16:10] Shi**
Yesterday, I saw an animal that
doesn't age for the first time.
**[16:14] Shi**
I always thought that animals had to age.
**[16:18] Tsu**
There are no curses in life.
**[16:21] Tsu**
Rather, every living thing is only made up
of blessings that allow it to survive.
**[16:25] Tsu**
Well, I suppose a little bit of our
personal tastes are in there, too.
**[16:30] All**
*A little?*
**[16:31] Tsu**
Aging is one method to ensure
the survival of the species.
**[16:35] Tsu**
It's only used by many animals
because it's so effective.
**[16:39] Kim**
Besides, there are a lot
of animals that don't age.
**[16:42] Shi**
Oh, really?
**[16:44] Kim**
For instance, the urchin.
**[16:46] Kim**
This guy's lived for 200 years,
but he's still healthy.

**[16:48] Kim**
And the lobster!
This guy doesn't age, either.
**[16:51] Kim**
And he has no set lifespan.
He just gets bigger as the years go by.
**[16:55] Shi**
Won't they multiply wildly, then?
**[16:58] Kim**
Don't worry! I made them tasty!
**[17:00] Kim**
They get eaten all the time!
**[17:01] Shi**
I still don't quite get what's
so good about aging, then.
**[17:06] Tsu**
Ah, well, let's get Mars-san,
and then we'll explain it.
**[17:10] Hig**
Here you go. This is a time
accelerator for creatures.
**[17:15] Tsu**
Then let's use this garden
box to see it for ourselves.
**[17:18] Tsu**
The animals that get the light from the time
accelerator are the ones that will age.
**[17:22] Tsu**
By the way, these are dots
we use in simulations.
**[17:26] Tsu**
They're called simudots.
***SIGN*** Simudots
**[17:28] Shi**
Dots.
**[17:29] Una**
So cute!
**[17:31] Tsu**
Then let's observe the aging ones first.
**[17:37] Shi**
They're having kids and
increasing in numbers.
**[17:40] Tsu**
See, there are also dots that age,
get frail, and collapse.
**[17:45] Shi**
Huh? A new blue square is
chasing down the frail dot.
**[17:51] Tsu**
Oh, that's their natural enemy, the square!
**[17:54] Tsu**
It eats the weak dots first.
**[17:56] Shi**
*They're so cute, but it's a tough world.*
**[17:59] Tsu**
Let's observe the ones that don't age next.
**[18:03] Tsu**
The ones that don't age keep
increasing in number.
**[18:06] Tsu**
It looks like their natural enemy
can't really touch the big dots.
**[18:11] Shi**
Oh, but the small ones are being
eaten by the natural enemy.
**[18:14] Shi**
Ah, over here, too!
**[18:16] Mei**
The natural enemy will attack
the weak ones first.
**[18:18] Mei**
If they don't age, only the children will die,
and generational change can't happen.
**[18:22] Shi**
But...
**[18:23] Mei**
What do you think will happen if
there's no generational change?
***SIGN*** Collapse
**[18:28] Shi**
They all died!
**[18:30] Tsu**
That was a disease. Without generational
change, there's less diversity.
***SIGN*** Diversity
**[18:35] Tsu**
That leads to insufficient resilience
against disease, and the population collapses.
**[18:39] Shi**
Diversity?
**[18:40] Tsu**
Imagine there is a lock that
protects the body from a disease.
***SIGN*** 1st Generation
***SIGN*** 2nd Generation
**[18:44] Tsu**
As there are more children,
there are more varieties of keyhole.
***SIGN*** 3rd Generation
**[18:47] Tsu**
That is diversity.
**[18:49] Tsu**
What do you think happens when a virus
manages to open someone's lock?
**[18:55] Shi**
All the same locks will also be affected.
***SIGN*** 1st Generation
***SIGN*** 2nd Generation
***SIGN*** 3rd Generation
**[18:58] Shi**
Oh, that's why all the
simudots died off at once!
**[19:01] Tsu**
Correct. With few natural
enemies and no set life span,
**[19:05] Tsu**
there's insufficient diversity,
and you're headed for extinction.
**[19:08] Mei**
With the rats you saw,
only the queen gives birth,
**[19:12] Mei**
so there is no risk of
overpopulation or starvation.
**[19:14] Mei**
They're also really resistant to disease
**[19:15] Mei**
so they don't go extinct
even though they don't age.
**[19:19] Shi**
I thought not aging would
be a good thing.
**[19:23] Shi**
But it's like inviting extinction in.
**[19:25] Shi**
Ah, that new order, the one for
the "rejuvenating animal"...
**[19:29] Shi**
Isn't rejuvenation also a path
headed straight for extinction?!
**[19:32] Hig**
Well, I think we'll see when we try it out.
**[19:36] Tsu**
This is a good opportunity.
Let's just use that, too.
**[19:38] Tsu**
You can produce rejuvenation with that
device if you flip it over, right?
**[19:42] Hig**
I don't really recommend resetting
something that's already developed.
**[19:47] Tsu**
Okay, let's try it with the mini horse.
**[19:50] Tsu**
First, we reset the cell divisions.
**[19:56] Shi**
* The horse turned into*
* something like bread dough.*
**[19:58] Tsu**
Here it gets interesting!
**[20:00] Tsu**
Come on, turn into a horse again!
**[20:03] Tsu**
That's it!
**[20:04] Tsu**
You got it!
**[20:05] Tsu**
You can do—
**[20:07] Kan**
That's a jellyfish.
**[20:08] Miz**
Yep, a jellyfish.
**[20:11] Hig**
See, I told you.
**[20:12] Hig**
If you reset a high-level life form,
**[20:14] Hig**
there's no guarantee that it can
get back to where it started.
**[20:17] Hig**
The cells have become too specialized.
**[20:19] Hig**
Maybe it helps if you imagine a veteran
doctor going back to being a baby.
**[20:22] Hig**
There's no guarantee that that
baby will become a doctor again.
**[20:25] Shi**
I see.
**[20:27] Tsu**
Fine, then it can just
start out as a jellyfish.
**[20:31] Kan**
Good point. Their construction is simple,

delivery for this now.
**[20:56] Kim**
Could we use this to reverse the demon lord
back to a time when he wasn't stuck yet?
**[21:01] Tsu**
I totally forgot about that.
Yeah, let's try that!
**[21:06] Tsu**
Heave-ho! Hm, he's not budging.
**[21:13] Kim**
Maybe he's stuck. Let's maximize the output.
**[21:17] Hig**
Hey, don't touch that!
**[21:30] Shi**
Wh-What just happened?
**[21:35] Shi**
Are you all right?!
**[21:36] Shi**
Please be okay!
**[21:40] Shi**
Who?!
**[21:41] Tsu**
Huh? What are you talking
about, Shimoda-kun?
**[21:43] Tsu**
It's me. Well, that was a shock.
**[21:47] Shi**
That mannerism... Are you Saturn-san?
**[21:50] Shi**
You became young?
**[21:52] Tsu**
Huh?
**[21:53] Tsu**
What?
**[21:54] Shi**
Does that mean the others did, too?
**[21:58] Shi**
They're not here. Why?
**[22:02] Tsu**
Oh, no, Shimoda-kun! The door that
leads to Galapagos is open.
**[22:07] Tsu**
The blast might have blown
everyone to Galapagos.
**[22:11] Shi**
What?!

**[01:45] Shi**
Everyone, are you okay?!
**[01:53] Shi**
Mars-san and the person from the
insect department are kids!
**[01:56] Tsu**
So small!
**[01:58] Hig**
It looks like we got younger when
the time accelerator exploded.
**[02:02] Shi**
Did the same thing happen
to the others, too?
**[02:04] Tsu**
What are the current settings for Galapagos?
**[02:08] Hig**
Well, Pluto-chan was testing her piranhas
after they got accepted, so it's a jungle.
**[02:15] Shi**
They're all stuck in this
jungle as children!
**[02:17] Shi**
Th-This is bad! We have to find them quick!
**[02:21] Hig**
Wait, Shimoda-kun.
**[02:22] Hig**
Galapagos is full of dangers right now!
**[02:27] Hig**
Instead of just running into it blindly,
we need to have a plan.
**[02:30] Tsu**
A plan, huh?
**[02:32] Tsu**
That reminds me. I think Jupiter-kun pocketed
some of those bean paste buns you made.
**[02:38] Tsu**
If everything caught in the blast has regressed,
those bean paste buns might have, too.
**[02:44] Shi**
Even if they did,
how will dough help us?
**[02:48] Tsu**
No, no. Even further back.
**[02:50] Tsu**
That white bean paste is made
from lima beans, right?
**[02:54] Tsu**
When lima beans are attacked
by their natural enemy,
**[02:56] Tsu**
they emit this "Help me!" odor, right?
**[02:59] Tsu**
Didn't the insect department make an
insect that can detect that smell?
**[03:03] Ins**
Yes, very impressive!
**[03:05] Ins**
We created a carnivorous
insect that loves to eat
**[03:08] Ins**
the herbivorous insect that
eats the lima bean leaves.
**[03:11] Ins**
When this insect notices
the lima bean's SOS signal,
**[03:13] Ins**
it rushes to the plant and eats the
insect nibbling on the lima bean.
***SIGN*** Lima Bean
**[03:16] Her**
That looks yummy.
**[03:18] Lim**
Someone help!
***SIGN*** Herbivore

Yay, food!
**[03:27] Her**
I meant to feast, but now I'm the feast!
**[03:30] Lim**
All according to plan!
**[03:31] Shi**
That sounds like a convoluted revenge drama.
**[03:34] Ins**
It's a mite, by the way.
***SIGN*** Phytoseiulus
persimilis
**[03:37] Ins**
We'll make a detector that
uses this mite sensor.
**[03:40] ---**
Yeah!
**[03:41] Shi**
But the SOS signal won't be emitted
unless the bean is being eaten, right?
**[03:46] Shi**
I'm not sure Jupiter-san
would eat the plant's beans
**[03:48] Shi**
just because the bean paste bun
suddenly turned into one.
**[03:51] Tsu**
I think he would.
**[03:52] Hig**
In a flash.
**[03:53] Kim**
Can this be eaten? When you're pondering that
is the best time to eat!
**[03:57] Shi**
He *would* eat them.
**[03:59] Ins**
The Bean Being Eaten Sensor is done!
**[04:01] Shi**
That was fast!
**[04:04] Ins**
It's saying he's over there!
**[04:05] Shi**
He's eating already?
**[04:06] Tsu**
Mars-kun, please go back and fix
the time accelerator device.
**[04:10] Hig**
Roger that!
**[04:19] Kim**
You guys!
**[04:20] Tsu**
Jupiter-kun!
**[04:22] Shi**
He really was eating them.
**[04:23] Kim**
Chief, you're so young!
**[04:25] Tsu**
Look who's talking.
**[04:27] Tsu**
We came to rescue you.
Where are the others?
**[04:30] Kim**
I got stuck in this tree,
but the others were blown that way.
**[04:34] Kim**
I heard some water, so they
might be in the pond.
**[04:37] Shi**
Pond?
**[04:38] Tsu**
Probably the one for testing the piranhas.
**[04:41] Shi**
Let's hurry!
**[04:47] Una**
Pluto-chan, this pond...
**[04:49] Mei**
I filled it with piranhas!
**[04:51] Kan**
Please, no! We'll get attacked!
**[04:54] Miz**
Hey! If you move—
**[05:00] Ins**
I hear children's voices!
**[05:01] Kim**
Over there!
**[05:05] Una**
P-P-Pluto-chan, are you okay?
**[05:08] Mei**
It's fine.
**[05:09] Mei**
These piranhas are vegetarians!
***SIGN*** Metynnis
argenteus
**[05:12] Una**
Vegetarian piranhas?!
**[05:15] Mei**
Yes. Since they look like the
vicious carnivorous piranhas,
**[05:19] Mei**
they are less likely to be
attacked by other fish.
**[05:21] Mei**
Huh? This fin has been bitten
by a carnivorous piranha.
**[05:26] Kan**
So there are carnivorous ones in here!
**[05:29] Mei**
It's fine. The carnivorous piranhas
often don't kill their prey.
**[05:33] Kan**
Instead, they just eat a part of the fin.
**[05:35] Kan**
That's because the fins regenerate.
**[05:37] Kan**
Piranhas are creatures that
treat resources with respect.
**[05:41] Una**
I see...
**[05:42] Mei**
So if you're not too frilly,
you won't get nibbled on so much.
**[05:46] Kan**
Frilly?
**[05:48] Una**
We need to get out of here quick.
**[05:50] Kan**
Let's get on this leaf for now.

Piranhas don't go
out of their way to attack,
**[06:01] Mei**
but avoid splashing around just to be safe.
**[06:04] Una**
Ven-chan, what's that you have there?
**[06:06] Kan**
Oh, this is—
**[06:09] Kan**
Jeez! She just said
to not splash around!
**[06:12] Miz**
I'm sorry.
**[06:13] Kan**
Be careful, sheesh.
**[06:15] Miz**
I'm really sorry, you guys.
**[06:17] Miz**
I forgot that I added the piranhas'
natural enemy to help the test go better.
**[06:22] Miz**
Namely, crocodiles.
**[06:25] Kan**
Why would you do that?!
**[06:34] Una**
Quick, over here!
**[06:39] Mei**
This might be the end.
**[06:44] Kan**
J-Just eat this!
**[06:54] Mei**
Nice pitch!
**[06:56] Miz**
L-Look! It's working?!
**[06:58] Una**
What was that?
**[07:00] Kan**
This is cassava root, the source of tapioca!
**[07:03] Kan**
The tapioca in the bubble tea
I had when we were eating
**[07:05] Kan**
Shimoda-kun's bean paste buns
has regressed, too.
**[07:08] Kan**
Before it's processed, cassava root
contains a cyanogenic compound.
**[07:11] Kan**
It's a neurotoxin like potassium cyanide!
**[07:14] Kan**
Eat tapioca!
***SIGN*** Float...
**[07:20] Mei**

There are still so many of them!
**[07:28] Kan**
Mercury, those are your crocodiles.
Do something!
**[07:32] Miz**
I'm already on it!
**[07:35] Miz**
Crocodiles are highly sociable
creatures that communicate vocally.
**[07:39] Miz**
So that's why I'm going to cry now!
**[07:47] Mei**
What's that?
**[07:48] Kan**
Oh, it's a sound to shoo them away.
**[07:50] Mzi**
There's no such sound.
**[07:53] Mzi**
This is the sound a baby crocodile
makes to call for its mother.
**[08:01] Una**
One of them is coming here.
**[08:03] Miz**
The one who responded is a female.
**[08:05] Kan**
What will bringing her here do?!

The female will come close. And then...

chasing the other ones away!
**[08:26] Mei**
It's a huge brawl!
**[08:28] Mal**
Where are you going?! Stop!
**[08:30] Miz**
All right, they swam away!
**[08:32] Kan**
W-Wait, there's one left here!
That female from before.
**[08:36] Kan**
She's looking at us with this
**[08:39] Kan**
"you'll make good food for my
children" kind of expression!
**[08:41] Una**
It's okay. If it's just one, we can manage!
**[08:45] Una**
If possible, I didn't want to create this,
but I have no choice.
**[08:53] Una**
Goodbye, my cute otter.
**[08:58] Una**
This is the order I'm currently working on!
**[09:03] Una**
An "otter that's not cute at all"!
**[09:08] Shi**
God has spoken!
**[09:10] God**
Accepted!
***SIGN*** Accepted
***SIGN*** Giant Otter
**[09:15] Kan**
Oh, Shimoda-kun! Over here!
**[09:18] Kan**
We're here! Over here!
**[09:20] Shi**
You guys!
**[09:24] Tsu**
Oh, boy! I'm glad nobody got hurt.
**[09:31] Una**
You used to be so cute.
**[09:33] Shi**
He's so big and scary now.
**[09:35] Kan**
The insect department came
to help, too? Thanks.
**[09:38] Mei**
We solved everything by ourselves, though.
**[09:40] Isn**
We rushed over when we heard the screams,
but you guys were amazing.
**[09:44] Isn**
Thanks to that, I had a good idea.
**[09:47] Isn**
What do you think of an insect
that screams for help?
***SIGN*** Honey
**[09:50] Isn**
Usually it secretes honey
and is friends with ants.
**[09:54] Larv**
You can eat my honey.
**[09:56] Ant**
Yay!
**[09:57] Wasp**
A larva. I'm ready to eat!
**[09:59] Ins**
When it's about to be attacked—
**[10:01] Lar**
Ahhh!
**[10:02] Ant**
Our honey buddy is in danger!
**[10:04] Ant**
To the rescue!
**[10:06] Kan**
Wait, this was inspired by us?
**[10:09] Shi**
God has spoken!
**[10:11] God**
Accepted!
***SIGN*** Accepted
***SIGN*** Gossamer-Winged
Butterfly Larva
**[10:13] Ins**
Yay!
**[10:15] Ins**
I'll go back to the insect department
and make it right away!
**[10:17] Shi**
Good luck!
**[10:19] Hig**
The time acceleration device is fixed
as well, so all is back to normal.
**[10:22] Shi**
I'm just glad nobody got hurt.
**[10:25] Tsu**
Being young isn't bad every now and then,
but my current body suits me the best.
**[10:30] Kim**
Whatever happened to that stuck goat?
**[10:33] Miz**
The magic circle is gone, too.
**[10:35] Kan**
Looks like it made it to Hell in one piece.
**[10:37] Shi**
I'm glad to hear that.
***SIGN*** Cassava
Root
**[10:43] Yok**
Oh, the sample from the design team!
**[10:46] Yok**
Huh?
**[10:48] Yok**
Why is its torso so long?
**[10:55] Yok**
Maybe it's a transmission error? Or...
***SIGN*** The Illustrated Guide to Creatures That Really Exist
**[10:58] Ken**
The Illustrated Guide to Creatures
That Really Exist!
**[11:03] Miz**
I always pictured them as attacking in
a swarm, but you say they're cowards?
**[11:07] Mei**
Yes, they form swarms
because they're scared.
**[11:10] Mei**
If something big falls in the water,
they run away most of the time.
**[11:13] Miz**
Doesn't "most of the time" mean
they also attack sometimes?
**[11:16] Mei**
If the prey is hurt, they get excited
by the scent of blood and might attack.
**[11:20] Miz**
So they do attack!
**[11:22] Mei**
They're only really known for their bite,
but there's something I want you to know.
**[11:27] Mei**
Piranhas can speak!
**[11:30] Miz**
Speak? How?
**[11:31] Mei**
They use their swim bladder to make sounds.
**[11:33] Mei**
It sounds kind of like, "Boof"!
**[11:35] Mei**
I think it'll do it when
you grab it. Want to try?
**[11:38] Miz**
Before I do that, I want to
know why it makes that sound.
**[11:42] Mei**
To warn you that it's about to bite.
**[11:44] Miz**
I knew it was all about biting!
**[11:54] Kan**
We don't get many opportunities
to put on dazzling makeup like this.
**[11:58] Mei**
It's kind of fun.
**[12:00] Kan**
All right, ready to go!
**[12:09] Mei**
What's wrong?
**[12:10] Hig**
Neptune-san is saying he won't be
attending today's party in Hell.
**[12:14] Kan**
What? You're not coming?
**[12:15] Tsu**
I already told them we're all coming, though.
**[12:19] Tsu**
What's the matter?
**[12:20] Una**
Well, I'm in a slump.
**[12:24] Una**
I'm not making any progress with this
order for a "fluffy but spiky animal."
**[12:29] Una**
The more I hurry, the more
wrong turns I take.
**[12:32] Una**
By now, I don't even feel
like holding my pen.
**[12:35] Una**
But I have to do something...
**[12:37] Una**
That's why I can't join you.
**[12:39] Hig**
Another mystery order?
**[12:41] Hig**
I feel for you.
**[12:42] Kim**
Why don't you say you're not feeling
well and get a deadline extension?
**[12:45] Kim**
Then you can go to the party.
**[12:47] Kim**
I heard Hell is outside of
Heaven's reception range.
**[12:51] Miz**
You do have to unwind sometimes.
**[12:53] Kan**
Shimoda-kun, please report that
Neptune-san's submission will be delayed
**[12:56] Kan**
because he's not feeling well.
Lay it on thick!
**[12:58] Shi**
I-Is that okay?
**[13:00] Mei**
A slump is a form of not
feeling well, right?
**[13:03] Tsu**
It's fine, isn't it?
**[13:05] Hig**
Then it's settled.
**[13:06] Hig**
Let's go!
**[13:21] Yok**
Welcome to Hell.
**[13:23] Yok**
Let me greet you among
with the wails of joy.
**[13:26] Yok**
Now, let us begin the banquet to celebrate
the founding of Hell's sales team!
**[13:32] Yok**
You will get a real taste of Hell!
***SIGN*** A Word From the Chef
Hee hee hee!
Turn this into
your own flesh
and blood...
**[13:36] Yok**
Turn this into your own flesh and blood!
**[13:39] Yok**
That's what our company's chef says.
**[13:42] Yok**
Please enjoy everything until you
have far surpassed being full.
**[13:46] Kan**
Not to sound cliché, but...
**[13:48] Miz**
We're being wined and dined here.
**[13:50] All**
Cheers!
**[13:52] Tsu**
You shouldn't have done
all this for just us.
**[13:55] Yok**
It's nothing. Besides, we'll keep
relying on your services.
**[13:57] Mei**
Huh, so this is Hell's main door.
**[14:01] Hig**
It's flashier than ours.
**[14:03] Tsu**
We all brought you gifts for the occasion.
**[14:05] Yok**
Oh, that's so considerate. Thank you!
**[14:09] Kim**
We thought that you would
like something like this.
**[14:13] Yok**
What is that?! It's like a symbol
of destruction!
**[14:16] Yok**
That's so freaking cool!
**[14:19] Kim**
I'm glad that it was up your alley.
**[14:22] Miz**
This is from me.
**[14:25] Yok**
A snake skeleton!
***SIGN*** Snake Skeleton
(For Decorative Use)
**[14:27] Yok**
So cool!
**[14:28] Yok**
Wow, everything below the
head is vertebrae, right?!
**[14:31] Miz**
Actually, while they don't stand out so much,
there's a neck and a tail, too.
***SIGN*** Neck
***SIGN*** Tail
**[14:35] Yok**
Snakes have quite a short neck.
**[14:38] Kan**
I brought a giant chicken skull.
***SIGN*** Chicken Skull
(For Costume Use)
**[14:41] Yok**
That's so cool!
**[14:43] Kan**
You can wear it.
**[14:46] Yok**
Wh-What do you think?
**[14:48] Yok**
Do I look like the Prince of Madness?
**[14:50] Kan**
It looks great on you. Wonderful!
**[14:52] Shi**
That ring by the eyes... Is that bone?
**[14:56] Miz**
Chickens have bones that maintain
the shape of their eyes.
**[15:01] Una**
This is from me.
**[15:02] Yok**
Another oblong box.
**[15:04] Yok**
Oh, I know what this is.
**[15:07] Yok**
This is an anteater!
**[15:08] Una**
Correct!
**[15:10] Yok**
All the way to the tip
of their mouth is bone!
***SIGN*** Anteater Skull
(For Decorative Use)
**[15:13] Tsu**
I brought this—
**[15:15] All**
A horse, right?
**[15:16] Tsu**
Yes, why?
**[15:17] Tsu**
Incidentally, do you think this
is a male or female horse?
**[15:20] Shi**
Isn't that question too hard?
**[15:22] Tsu**
It's actually quite easy.
**[15:24] Tsu**
The ones that have sharp
teeth here are male.
**[15:26] Tsu**
They have canines for when they
fight to secure their female.
**[15:30] Tsu**
Horses are quite strong, you know?
**[15:33] Hig**
This one's from me.
**[15:35] Yok**
That's big!
**[15:38] Yok**
This... This was...
**[15:40] Yok**
A cyclops!
**[15:43] Yok**
So cool!
**[15:45] Hig**
No, this was an elephant.
**[15:48] Hig**
The hole in the middle wasn't for
an eyeball. It was for the nose.
**[15:52] Hig**
The eyes are over here.
**[15:54] Mei**
I'm last.
**[15:57] Mei**
Guess what this is!
**[16:01] Yok**
No matter what side I look
at it from, I have no idea.
**[16:03] Shi**
It's almost like folded cloth.
**[16:05] Mei**
The right answer was the
skull of a hammerhead shark!
**[16:09] Shi**
So it has bones all the way
to the edges of its head.
**[16:13] Yok**
It's fun to think about animals
by looking at their bones!
**[16:16] Yok**
Could I ask you to start from
the bones for your next job?
**[16:19] Kan**
Our next job?
**[16:21] Yok**
Yes! After you submitted that large demon,
**[16:25] Yok**
I wanted to ask you to make
a small messenger familiar.
**[16:29] Yok**
Something like this.
**[16:31] Tsu**
If you like, we could
start brainstorming now.
**[16:34] Yok**
Are you sure? It is your day off.
**[16:36] Kan**
It's fun to think with a buzz sometimes.
**[16:40] Mei**
The less work *feels* like work,
the more fun it is.
**[16:42] Hig**
Same.
**[16:44] Tsu**
All right, could you tell us about
this familiar's tasks and purpose?
**[16:48] Yok**
The workplace will be underground!
***SIGN*** Hell Interior
**[16:50] Yok**
Since they will be messengers,
**[16:52] Yok**
they should have amazing hearing
and be quick on their feet.
***SIGN*** Familiar Waiting Room
**[16:54] Yok**
I'd like them to be able to communicate
in a unique way, without sound.
***SIGN*** Employee Passageway
**[16:58] Yok**
There will be many operational messages
that we don't want our guests to hear.
**[17:02] Yok**
Yes, fast like lightning! When they stop,
they should be like the night fog!
**[17:07] Yok**
Something like that would be ideal.
**[17:08] Shi**
* As always, a unique way*
* of expressing himself.*
**[17:11] Yok**
And also, if they were to rest in front
of our guests, we might get complaints,
**[17:17] Yok**
so it would be good if it's not easy to tell
if they're awake or sleeping at first glance.
**[17:21] Kan**
Even in Hell, they try to
avoid customer complaints.
**[17:24] Tsu**
If that's the case, we also have to
think about its toilet breaks, too.
**[17:27] Yok**
Oh, I didn't think about that.
**[17:30] Mei**
That's solved if they just eat the
poop straight from their own butt.
**[17:35] Hig**
Are you taking things too far already?
**[17:37] Mei**
It's not a joke. I mean koalas eat poop, too.
***SIGN*** For Eating
***SIGN*** Not for Eating
**[17:42] Mei**
Koalas have two kinds of poop.
***SIGN*** For Eating
**[17:44] Mei**
Indigestible waste is not for eating,
**[17:47] Mei**
while the medicine-like stuff that
the caecum creates is for eating.
**[17:50] Mei**
The koala poop that's for eating is healthy.
**[17:53] Mei**
That's why their baby food
after weaning is poop.
**[17:56] Yok**
The idea that they can create
their own medicine is great!
**[17:59] Yok**
I would like to use that.
We need our staff to be healthy.
**[18:03] Tsu**
All right, if we put that all together...
Something like this?
**[18:10] Yok**
A casual scariness fit for a familiar! Nice!
**[18:14] Tsu**
In order to specialize in speed, I gave
them a single bone below the knee.
**[18:18] Tsu**
With two bones, the leg can twist,
**[18:21] Tsu**
but fusing those into one
makes it more powerful.
**[18:24] Tsu**
With these legs, they can go up
to eighty kilometers per hour.
**[18:27] Yok**
So much thought goes into unseen places!
**[18:29] Tsu**
Since your order was so detailed
and easy to understand,
**[18:32] Tsu**
it's already done.
**[18:35] Tsu**
Do you want to work on
the exterior look now?
**[18:37] Yok**
We don't have to push it now.
You can finish it when you get a chance.
**[18:40] Yok**
What's wrong, Neptune-san?
**[18:42] Una**
No, it's just that I realized how
much fun creating things can be.
**[18:47] Kan**
He's in a slump right now.
**[18:50] Hig**
He's worn out.
**[18:52] Yok**
Then how about creating something freely?
**[18:58] Yok**
If you unshackle your instincts
and draw for your own enjoyment,
**[19:01] Yok**
you might be able to reset yourself.
**[19:04] Yok**
How about this?
**[19:05] Yok**
Would you mind coming up with the
exterior look for these bones here?
**[19:09] Yok**
I want to see what you create when
you're uninhibited and playful.
**[19:15] Una**
Freely? Enjoy myself?
**[19:21] Shi**
*Neptune-san picked up his pen!*
**[19:24] Shi**
*Yokota-senpai is amazing.*
**[19:26] Shi**
*I couldn't get him to do that.*
**[19:29] Shi**
*One day, I'll also...*
**[19:32] Una**
Done!
**[19:34] Una**
What do you think?
**[19:43] Kan**
Hey, why did something
scary turn into this?!
**[19:47] Una**
That was so much fun.
**[19:49] Miz**
So he put those long bones
into this round tail?
**[19:54] Shi**
This super-cute thing... eats poop?
**[19:58] Hig**
And sleeps with its eyes open?
**[20:00] Shi**
What are these ears?
**[20:01] Una**
They're heat sinks. Since I increased
its muscle mass for running fast,
**[20:06] Shi**
I thought it might overheat and collapse.
**[20:08] Shi**
They also double as sound collecting
antennae for picking up orders from far away.
**[20:12] Miz**
How did you solve the request for the
unique non-verbal communication method?
**[20:16] Una**
I made them good at sensing vibrations.
**[20:20] Miz**
That way they can use foot
stomps to communicate.
***SIGN*** Stomp
**[20:24] Tsu**
Hm, isn't this more like that
mystery order that got you down?
**[20:28] Shi**
You mean the "fluffy but spiky animal."
**[20:31] Tsu**
Wouldn't this be a perfect fit?
**[20:35] Shi**
I see! This came out because you've
been thinking about it the whole time.
**[20:39] Yok**
From Hell's point of view,
this design would be acceptable, too...
**[20:43] Kan**
It is?
**[20:45] Yok**
But if there's already a prior taker,
then we have no choice.
**[20:48] Yok**
Please deliver it to God.
**[20:50] Shi**
All right!
**[20:52] Shi**
Oh, Hell's outside of God's reception range.
**[20:57] Shi**
What should we do? I want
to deliver this right away.
**[21:00] Yok**
Don't worry. I've invited God here, too.
**[21:04] Yok**
His arrival is imminent.
**[21:07] Kim**
The client's coming here in person?!
**[21:09] Kan**
Wait! Neptune-san faked
being sick to come here!
**[21:13] Mei**
Our lie will be discovered!
**[21:17] Shi**
Th-This light! Is this...
**[21:22] All**
God?!
***SIGN*** The Illustrated Guide to Creatures That Really Exist

The Illustrated Guide to Creatures
That Really Exist!
**[21:30] Tsu**
They look so cute, but they eat poop.
**[21:33] Una**
They eat special vitamin-rich
poop like a supplement,
**[21:37] Una**
or at least that was the original plan.
**[21:39] Tsu**
Oh?
**[21:40] Una**
When I observed wild rabbits,
**[21:43] Una**
they also just ate regular poop when
there was no food to be found.
**[21:45] Tsu**
So tough! In a way, if you
eat what you excrete,
**[21:48] Tsu**
you're like a perpetual motion device.
**[21:51] Una**
In winter, when there was no grass,
they also ate animal carcasses.
**[21:54] Tsu**
Truly tough!
**[21:56] Una**
Speaking of tough, when the female
picks a male, she first punches him.
**[22:01] Una**
She makes sure the male is
strong by punching him.
**[22:04] Tsu**
Throw hands, then throw kisses!
**[22:07] Tsu**
How strong!
**[22:08] Tsu**
Some day soon, these bunnies may be seen
**[22:11] Tsu**
not as symbols of cuteness, but of strength.

Crap, crap! It'll come out that
Neptune-san faked being sick!
**[02:02] Kan**
Hide!
**[02:04] Shi**
This is the bell that
rings when God arrives!
**[02:18] Ued**
Oh, good evening, everyone.
**[02:21] Ued**
And congratulations on the
founding of Hell's sales team!
**[02:25] Tsu**
Ueda-san?
**[02:26] Shi**
That's an amazing bird.
**[02:28] Yok**
That's Garuda, the bird God rides on.
**[02:31] Yok**
It's magnificently gorgeous,
with unwavering bravery.
**[02:33] Yok**
It's the strongest and most ideal of birds.
**[02:35] Yok**
So cool!
**[02:37] Kim**
The flowers are on fire!
**[02:39] Kan**
Hot! Watch out! You have
to be careful, birdie!
**[02:42] Tsu**
Where is God, though?
**[02:44] Ued**
Just when we were about to arrive,
**[02:46] Ued**
some urgent business came up in Heaven.
**[02:48] Ued**
So the bird got the flowers
and a celebratory message.
**[02:52] Una**
Oh, no. The bird's on fire, too!
**[02:55] Mei**
Extinguish, extinguish!
**[02:56] Miz**
It's to be expected if it creates that much
fire and there are flowers flying around.
**[02:58] Ued**
There, there.
**[03:00] Shi**
Was this maybe one of
your designs, Venus-san?
**[03:04] Kan**
It didn't pass, but yes.
**[03:06] Kan**
It wasn't suited to Earth,
but the client liked it,
**[03:09] Kan**
so now it's their ride.
**[03:12] Shi**
That's one flashy ride.
**[03:14] Yok**
Incidentally, what was the issue with it?
**[03:16] Kan**
I thought it would be beautiful if
it protected itself with flames,
**[03:20] Kan**
so I made it emit a mist of fat from its
mouth and ignite that with its teeth.
**[03:25] Miz**
Watch it!
**[03:26] Kan**
Then I realized that teeth are
quite a bit heavier than beaks.
**[03:30] Kan**
It couldn't fly right.
**[03:32] Kan**
It became a bird that would plummet into
a mountain it had just set on fire.
**[03:36] Yok**
That would make it hard to survive.
**[03:39] Yok**
Such a shame. It's such a good design!
**[03:41] Kan**
Right?! That's why I couldn't give up.
**[03:44] Kan**
I carry around a prototype, but you know...
**[03:48] Shi**
You brought your work with you?
**[03:50] Shi**
No, you can't burn that!
**[03:52] Ued**
It's fine. He's just trying
to deliver a message.
**[03:59] Miz**
That noise... Is that a tape-based
answering machine?
**[04:02] Kim**
The client's rocking some
old equipment, huh?
**[04:05] Gar**
*Playing back message.*
**[04:07] Ued**
See?
**[04:08] Shi**
The bird has a recording function...
**[04:11] Gar**
*Everyone.*
**[04:14] Shi**
It's really God's voice.
**[04:16] Miz**
Even though I know God's not here,
I'm still nervous.
**[04:19] Gar**
*It's always a pleasure dealing with you.*
**[04:22] Gar**
* My congratulations on the*
* founding of Hell's sales team.*
**[04:25] Gar**
*For this occasion,*
**[04:27] Gar**
* I would like to present you with an animal that*
* will be useful in your attractions.*
**[04:32] Gar**
*Order!*
**[04:36] Gar**
* An animal that can be used*
* in Hell's attractions.*
**[04:39] All**
What?
**[04:40] Kim**
I thought the bird was bringing a present.
**[04:43] Mei**
But we're supposed to make it? Starting now?
**[04:46] Gar**
* A versatile animal that can be sent*
* to both Earth and Hell would be swell.*
**[04:51] Tsu**
That's unreasonable!
**[04:53] Gar**
* By the way, I thought Neptune was sick,*
* but I see him at the party.*
**[04:58] Una**
I-I'm sorry! I was faking it!
**[05:01] Kan**
B-But that's only because
we told him to say that!
**[05:04] Mei**
He also did finish the order for
the "fluffy but spiky animal"!
**[05:08] Gar**
*I'm glad you're not sick.*
**[05:10] Gar**
*I'm looking forward to your next project.*
**[05:13] Gar**
That animal in your arms is accepted.
***SIGN*** Accepted
***SIGN*** Rabbit
**[05:17] Gar**
*All right, everyone, I'm counting on you!*
**[05:20] Ued**
This was a recording, so you
can't have a conversation.
**[05:24] Gar**
*No more messages.*
**[05:27] Una**
God's not mad... and looking
forward to my next project.
**[05:31] Shi**
That's great. God is so kind.
**[05:35] Mei**
Not kind at all.
**[05:36] Miz**
We just got hit with an
unreasonable request.
**[05:39] Kim**
Aw, man, I was just enjoying
the feast. Now we gotta work?
**[05:43] Una**
That reminds me, we have to come up
with an alternative idea for the familiar.
**[05:47] Yok**
That can wait until next time.
**[05:49] Tsu**
What kind of attractions do
you plan to have in Hell?
**[05:52] Yok**
Oh, well...
**[05:54] Yok**
We're planning on doing something not
found in Heaven! Namely, "surprise."
**[05:58] Yok**
It would be great if it's
"an animal that surprises even angels."
**[06:01] Tsu**
Even angels...
**[06:05] Hig**
Easier said than done! A versatile
animal that can be send to Earth and Hell?
**[06:10] Hig**
On top of that, it needs to surprise angels.
**[06:13] Hig**
Sounds difficult.
**[06:14] Mei**
If it was just Shimoda-kun, it'd be easy.
**[06:18] Mei**
Shimoda-kun!
**[06:20] Mei**
Hold this.
**[06:24] Mei**
See? Easy.
**[06:25] Shi**
Anybody would be surprised if they were
suddenly handed a huge tadpole like this!
**[06:30] Shi**
This is really huge, though!
How big is the frog going to be?
**[06:34] Mei**
This big.
**[06:35] Shi**
That's tiny!
**[06:36] Mei**
I made it to fulfill the order
"gets smaller as an adult."
**[06:40] Mei**
The tadpoles are this big so they can
survive in estuaries with high salinity.
**[06:45] Shi**
Huh? What?
**[06:47] Hig**
Think of a cube.
**[06:49] Hig**
If you double the length of one side,
**[06:51] Hig**
you need eight times as many cubes,
**[06:53] Hig**
but the surface area is
only four times greater.
***SIGN*** 8 times the volume,
but 4 times the surface area
**[06:55] Shi**
I see! That's why being bigger makes you
less susceptible to external influences.
**[07:00] Hig**
And when they become frogs
and leave the saline water,
***SIGN*** Salinity
**[07:02] Hig**
they don't have to be as big.
**[07:06] Hig**
Being big also means you have to eat more,
***SIGN*** Paradoxical Frog
**[07:10] Hig**
so that would make finding
enough food tougher.
**[07:12] Shi**
Wow, that's amazing.
**[07:15] Mei**
Ueda-san, were you surprised?
**[07:18] Ued**
Yes, I was really surprised.
**[07:20] Ued**
The difference is so stark!
**[07:23] Mei**
No good. She wasn't surprised at all.
**[07:25] Hig**
Most things probably don't surprise her.
**[07:28] Tsu**
How about this?
**[07:30] Ued**
Oh?
**[07:37] Mei**
Oh, Shimoda-kun ran away.
**[07:40] Ued**
That was a shock.
**[07:41] Tsu**
Hm, that didn't surprise Ueda-san, either.
**[07:45] Tsu**
Shimoda-kun is... hiding under a table.
**[07:49] Tsu**
That's a good reaction.
**[07:54] Tsu**
Experience it.
**[07:56] Tsu**
The design team's first masterpiece,
the tyrannosaurus.
**[08:01] Tsu**
The teeth are serrated like steak knives,
**[08:03] Tsu**
and as big as large bananas,
**[08:05] Tsu**
able to slice through flesh with ease.
**[08:07] Tsu**
Its jaw is about nine times as
powerful as an alligator's,
**[08:10] Tsu**
putting it in the top class of dinosaurs.
**[08:17] Tsu**
Tables are child's play.
**[08:22] Tsu**
It doesn't matter where
you run, Shimoda-kun.
**[08:26] Tsu**
The tyrannosaurus's greatest strength
is neither its speed nor its claws...
**[08:35] Tsu**
But its sense of smell.
**[08:45] Shi**
This sound... Could it be?
**[08:50] Ued**
God?
**[08:51] God**
Everyone.
**[08:53] ---**
It's the client!
**[08:56] God**
Everyone.
**[09:00] God**
It's always a pleasure dealing with you.
**[09:05] God**
My congratulations on the
founding of Hell's sales team.
**[09:09] Kim**
Haven't we heard this before?
**[09:10] God**
For this occasion, I would like to present you
with an animal that will be useful in...
**[09:15] Kan**
Yay, what a success!
**[09:18] Shi**
Venus-san?
**[09:20] Ued**
So then, that voice just now...
**[09:22] God**
A versatile animal that can be sent
to both Earth and Hell would be swell.
**[09:26] Kan**
This birdie's trick. It's very
good at imitating voices.
**[09:31] Kan**
Even Ueda-san was surprised.
**[09:34] Ued**
Yes, I was really surprised.
**[09:37] Ued**
I honestly thought God was with us.
**[09:41] Kan**
If you want to surprise people at an attraction,
you need sound effects, right?
**[09:45] Kan**
I made its throat muscles soft, so it
can be super good at imitating voices.
**[09:50] Bir**
Playing back message.
**[09:53] Shi**
Wow, even the machine noises are perfect!
**[09:55] Shi**
But how did it learn God's voice?
**[09:58] Kan**
Remember when I took it out a bit in Hell?
**[10:02] Kan**
It looks like it heard and
memorized the voice then.
**[10:04] Bir**
I-I'm sorry! I was faking it!
**[10:07] Shi**
O-Oh, that was Neptune-san.
**[10:10] Una**
That was not good for my heart...
**[10:12] Kan**
This baby can replay any sound!
**[10:15] Kan**
Since I took away the
heavy teeth, it can fly,
**[10:17] Kan**
so the "can go to both Earth and Hell"
part is covered, too!
**[10:24] Shi**
God has spoken!
**[10:27] God**
Accepted!
***SIGN*** Accepted
***SIGN*** Superb
Lyrebird
**[10:30] Kan**
Yes!
**[10:32] Mei**
That's great!
**[10:33] Kim**
Well done!
**[10:34] Miz**
I'm glad that's over.
**[10:36] Tsu**
Now we can send it to Yokota-san, too.
**[10:38] God**
Huh, that's an interesting bird.
**[10:42] Hig**
The real one is here!
**[10:44] Bir**
Huh, that's an interesting bird.
**[10:48] Bir**
Who are you?
**[10:49] Bir**
Who am I?
**[10:51] Bir**
I am you.
**[10:52] Yok**
Yay! Now I can play the "dark self
that's buried deep within me" game!
***SIGN*** The Illustrated Guide to Creatures That Really Exist
**[10:57] Ken**
The Illustrated Guide to Creatures
That Really Exist!
***SIGN*** ° There are various interpretations
**[11:02] Yok**
Wow! So this is the undisputed
champion of Earth!
**[11:05] Yok**
By the way, twelve meters seems quite large.
**[11:08] Yok**
I thought gravity made it impossible
to stand if you're too big?
**[11:11] Tsu**
That's true, but the tyrannosaurus
is not as heavy as it looks.
**[11:16] Yok**
Oh, is it like a papier-mâché thing?
**[11:19] Tsu**
Actually, quite close to that.
**[11:21] Tsu**
Please consider the bird's
respiratory organs.
***SIGN*** Lung
**[11:24] Yok**
There are a lot of bags
attached to that lung!
***SIGN*** Air Sacs
**[11:26] Tsu**
These are called air sacs,
and are part of the
**[11:29] Tsu**
respiratory system used for
sending air into the lung.
**[11:31] Tsu**
This system is more efficient than
just breathing with the lung.
**[11:35] Tsu**
And something similar
to the birds' air sacs—
**[11:37] Yok**
—was inside the tyrannosaurus, too?
That's why it was light!
**[11:41] Yok**
It would be inappropriate to compare
life's wisdom to papier-mâché.
**[11:45] Yok**
How beautiful! A dragon of destruction
that harbors the void in its body!
**[11:51] Tsu**
Suddenly, I have no idea
what you're talking about.
**[12:12] Shi**
Hello, everyone—
**[12:16] Kin**
Oh, no, Shimoda-kun!
**[12:18] Kin**
Are you all right?!
**[12:19] Shi**
Ow...
**[12:21] Tsu**
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
**[12:23] Shi**
I'm okay. I just stepped on something...
**[12:26] Shi**
Oh, what's this?
**[12:28] Kan**
I'm sorry. It's a mess because we're
sorting through old designs right now.
**[12:36] Shi**
This creature must be a
mascot for something!
**[12:39] Shi**
What is this? It's so cute!
**[12:41] Shi**
But I've never seen a creature like this before.
**[12:44] Shi**
What kind of animal is it?
**[12:46] Mei**
Oh, that?
**[12:47] Kan**
It's a rejected rough
draft from a while ago.
**[12:49] Kan**
That brings back memories.
**[12:52] Tsu**
I remember now, that design
used to look like this.
**[12:55] Shi**
So this design was turned
into something else?
**[13:00] Kan**
What could it be?
**[13:02] Tsu**
Try guessing!
**[13:04] Shi**
Uh, can I have a hint?
**[13:06] Una**
Let's see... It's still cute now.
**[13:08] Mei**
*Somewhat* cute.
**[13:10] Kim**
Unfortunately, it can't be eaten.
**[13:12] Tsu**
It's not a horse.
**[13:13] Miz**
Nor a snake.
**[13:14] Shi**
*Those were not hints.*
**[13:17] Shi**
I'm bad at quizzes.
**[13:19] Shi**
Would it be possible to get
some more helpful hints?
**[13:22] Kan**
Hm, let's see.
**[13:23] Miz**
Even though we have
very different tastes,
**[13:25] Miz**
in this rare instance, we all like it.
**[13:28] Kan**
True, it might be a character
we've all come to love.
**[13:31] Shi**
Then I wonder if it's a
masterpiece that even I know about.
**[13:34] Kim**
If you didn't know about it,
it wouldn't be a quiz, right?
**[13:37] Shi**
How big is it, roughly?
**[13:39] Mei**
About 170 centimeters?
**[13:42] Shi**
That's bigger than I expected!
**[13:44] Shi**
Appearances often undergo
changes from the rough draft...
**[13:47] Shi**
Lovable, rather large... Like a lion?
**[13:51] Kan**
Sorry.
**[13:52] Una**
That's not it.
**[13:53] Tsu**
This is the original design for the lion.
**[13:57] Shi**
That's huge!
**[13:58] Shi**
Wait, wheels?!
**[13:59] Mei**
The order was for a "male where
only its appearance is impressive."
**[14:03] Shi**
"Only"?
**[14:04] Kim**
If the manliest male in the group gets
all the females and gets to reproduce,
**[14:08] Kim**
"Then why not just put all his skill points
into looks and forget about the rest?"
***SIGN*** Kindness
***SIGN*** Looks
***SIGN*** Strength
***SIGN*** Intelligence
***SIGN*** Wealth
**[14:12] Kim**
the client said.
**[14:14] Miz**
The females can do the hunting.
**[14:16] Tsu**
So while it was nice that we made him big,
**[14:19] Tsu**
his movements got sluggish, so we
turned his hind legs into wheels.
**[14:24] Shi**
* I guess he doesn't care about*
* looks if it's not a horse.*
**[14:28] Shi**
Are these wheels are functional
and not just for decoration?
**[14:32] Kan**
Of course.
**[14:34] Kan**
They were able to run across the savanna,
up rocky hills, and over all sorts of terrain.
**[14:37] Shi**
That sounds useful!
**[14:39] Miz**
But there was an unexpected downside.
**[14:42] Miz**
The wheels left tracks, and they were loud.
**[14:46] Miz**
They gave away the lion's position
and made prey run away.
**[14:49] Shi**
I see.
**[14:50] Shi**
But that might be useful for driving
prey where you want them to go.
**[14:54] Miz**
That's what we thought too, but...
**[14:56] Hig**
What are you talking about?
**[14:57] Una**
The pitiable lion.
**[15:00] Hig**
Ah! You mean the one we set loose on Galapagos,
**[15:04] Hig**
and was happily driving his prey around
until he got stuck in a swamp.
**[15:07] Kim**
He couldn't get out, and even
though he was just a demo unit,
**[15:11] Kim**
we still felt really bad for him.
**[15:13] Hig**
Is that when we scrapped the idea?
**[15:15] Tsu**
Now that I think about it,
we might have acted a bit too hastily.
**[15:19] Shi**
*A bit?*
**[15:20] Kan**
In the end, if appearance is all that matters,
**[15:23] Kan**
we figured that his body doesn't
have to be all that big.
**[15:26] Shi**
What do you mean?
**[15:27] Una**
We added a fluffy mane!
**[15:30] Una**
Since it's *just* a fluffy mane,
**[15:32] Una**
it's light, but still makes his
body look cooler and bigger, right?
***SIGN*** Lion
Final Form
**[15:37] Kan**
We made it so that the more male
hormone testosterone it has,
**[15:40] Kan**
the more gorgeous the mane.
**[15:42] Kan**
So that also works as the
proof of an "impressive male."
**[15:45] Miz**
On top of it, the mane also seemed
to protect his neck.
**[15:47] Shi**
I see. So that's how you settled
on the design for the lion.
**[15:52] Shi**
Then that means this one...
**[15:53] Shi**
Since the antlers look similar,
is it the deer?
**[15:57] Tsu**
This is the original design for the deer.
**[16:00] Shi**
It has a tree growing out of its head?!
**[16:02] Shi**
That's like something from a fairy tale!
**[16:04] Mei**
We thought that giving it antlers that looked
like a tree could be used for camouflage.
**[16:08] Kan**
That might have been a bit naïve.
**[16:10] Shi**
What was the problem?
**[16:12] Kan**
When the antlers grew over
the course of many years,
**[16:15] Kan**
they got unnecessarily big.
**[16:17] Shi**
That's so pretty!
**[16:19] Kan**
And then, when the female would pick
a male with an impressive tree...
**[16:30] Kan**
A male whose antlers became thin
was no longer desired at all.
**[16:34] Kim**
Since the antlers were just as thin as
real branches, they could break off easily.
**[16:37] Shi**
That poor guy!
**[16:38] Kan**
If the antlers take years to become impressive,
**[16:41] Kan**
it also takes years for them to grow back.
**[16:44] Kim**
And during that entire time,
no female would want him.
**[16:46] Shi**
That poor guy!
**[16:48] Kim**
That's why we made it so the
antlers grow in new every year.
**[16:51] Kim**
This way he can re-enter the
reproduction play-offs again!
**[16:54] Shi**
Reproduction play-offs?
**[16:56] Kan**
We went from branch-like
antlers to simple, thick antlers!
**[17:00] Shi**
Having them regrow every
year sounds draining,
**[17:03] Shi**
but I guess there's an important reason for it.
**[17:05] Shi**
It's like a safety mechanism.
**[17:08] Shi**
Hm, so it's not the deer, either.
Could I get another hint?
**[17:12] Tsu**
It walks on two legs!
**[17:14] Shi**
Oh, that's a huge hint!
**[17:16] Shi**
Right, it's got wings! Could it be a bird?!
**[17:20] Shi**
Does that mean such a cute
face is rat-a-tatting poop!?
**[17:25] Kan**
Cut that out!
**[17:26] Kan**
My birdies were like this
from the beginning!
**[17:29] Kan**
The fully-formed idea descended into me!
**[17:32] Shi**
I-I'm sorry.
**[17:33] Kan**
But I'm impressed you remembered
pooping often to stay light.
**[17:37] Kan**
Well done.
**[17:38] Shi**
It left an impression on me.
**[17:41] Kan**
To begin with, heavy antlers on
a chubby body with tiny wings...
**[17:45] Kan**
That's not going to fly.
**[17:47] Kan**
A bird's legs are light and thin.
**[17:49] Kan**
The arm muscle was moved down to
the pectorals, to help move the wings!
**[17:52] Kan**
And so its arms were lost,
but instead, it has a long neck.
**[17:57] Kan**
It can move its head skillfully, right?
**[17:59] Shi**
Oh, so the long neck is
like an arm replacement.
**[18:02] Shi**
Kind of like an elephant's trunk.
**[18:03] Kim**
And the real ones are tasty!
**[18:06] Shi**
But Jupiter-san, you said this
animal doesn't get eaten, right?
**[18:10] Shi**
Does that mean it's not a herbivore?
**[18:13] Shi**
I heard carnivores taste bad...
**[18:16] Kim**
Hm, not sure.
**[18:17] Mei**
I guess if you had to say,
it *could* be a herbivore.
**[18:19] Una**
I do vouch for its cuteness, though.
**[18:21] Shi**
Neptune-san says it's cute,
so something fluffy?
**[18:25] Miz**
I can't say that it's fluffy.
**[18:27] Tsu**
But Shimoda-kun's really
been doing his homework.
**[18:31] Una**
Good job.
**[18:32] Kan**
You're actually listening to what we say.
**[18:34] Shi**
Well, it's always so interesting
how you solve problems.
**[18:38] Shi**
But I still don't know what
this rough draft was for.
**[18:42] Mei**
It shoots beams from its eyes!
**[18:44] Shi**
Is there an animal like that?!
**[18:46] Shi**
Oh, is it the whale?!
**[18:49] Una**
They do shoot beams.
**[18:51] Una**
But sorry. Wrong.
**[18:53] Una**
This pup uses the beams to scan designs.
**[18:56] Shi**
Scan?!
**[18:57] Kim**
And it prints out documents from its mouth!
**[18:59] Shi**
Prints out?!
**[19:01] Tsu**
And the antlers are a Wi-Fi antenna!
**[19:03] Shi**
That's a multi-function device, right?!
**[19:06] Kan**
Not quite, but it can do a lot of things.
**[19:09] Miz**
It's right there.
**[19:12] Tsu**
It's you.
**[19:15] Tsu**
Shimoda-kun, it's you.
**[19:19] Shi**
Wait, I was created here,
by this design team?
**[19:24] Mei**
Sorry.
**[19:25] Kan**
That's wrong!
**[19:28] Hig**
You're a regular creature, made by God.
**[19:31] Miz**
Before you came, we talked about
making an assistant for Ueda-san.
**[19:35] Tsu**
That's why we first came up with
a helper mascot character.
**[19:39] Shi**
So that's why it looks like this.
**[19:41] Una**
But it was big and got in the way.
**[19:43] (Flashback) Kan**
Eek!
**[19:44] Shi**
Why did you make it so big?
**[19:47] Kim**
Well, if it wasn't our size,
it wasn't very practical.
**[19:50] Mei**
If it's too small, it can't even
make copies or open doors.
**[19:56] Tsu**
Well, it wasn't such a good design.
**[19:58] Kan**
The worst was its voice.
**[20:05] (Flashback) Cha**
How's your progress?
**[20:08] (Flashback) Cha**
How's your progress?
**[20:09] (Flashback) Cha**
If I could somehow get it by tomorrow...
**[20:12] (Flashback) Cha**
The client's been pressuring me, too.
***SIGN*** How's your progress?
**[20:15] (Flashback) Cha**
How's your progress?
**[20:16] Miz**
I really wonder who set it to that.
**[20:20] Hig**
Anyway, in the end, you came to our company.
**[20:24] Tsu**
You're the final version of
that rough draft, Shimoda-kun.
**[20:28] Miz**
We all like you.
**[20:30] Kim**
Your handmade desserts are always tasty.
**[20:34] Shi**
I'm so happy that the design team
I love so much was involved in my birth!
**[20:41] Shi**
I will cherish this fact!
**[20:44] Kan**
When did he become so lovable, huh?
**[20:48] Mei**
Yeah, huh?
**[20:49] Shi**
I'd like to make merchandise of this guy!
**[20:52] Tsu**
Do as you like.
**[20:54] Kim**
It was worth making that, huh?
**[20:56] Kan**
That enthusiasm and passion
is what supports us.
**[21:02] Shi**
A new order!
**[21:04] God**
A bird that doesn't lay eggs!
**[21:07] All**
What?
**[21:09] God**
Make it work, please.
**[21:12] Miz**
Well, we're used to the client being
unreasonable and making us do everything.
**[21:16] Shi**
I'm sorry about that.
**[21:18] Tsu**
Birdies fall under your umbrella,
right, Ven-chan?
**[21:21] Kan**
This is a hard one!
**[21:22] Una**
I can help with its cuteness.
**[21:24] Mei**
I wonder what cute thing
it should give birth to...
**[21:26] Kim**
I hope it'll be something I can eat.
**[21:29] Kim**
I'm excited!
**[21:30] Hig**
All right, I'm ready for anything!
**[21:32] Tsu**
Then let's begin our meeting.
**[21:36] Shi**
I look forward to seeing what kind
of animal this leads to!
**[22:02] God**
Shimoda! Time to work!
**[22:05] Shi**
Y-Yes! Coming right away!

**[02:03] Shi**
Hello!
**[02:05] Kan**
Oh, Shimoda-kun, come in!
**[02:08] Mei**
Look, look, Ven-chan! A drill shape!
**[02:10] Kan**
Wow, Pluto-chan, you're a genius!
**[02:13] Mei**
Would a bag with strings go, too?
**[02:15] Kan**
That sounds fun, and it totally would!
**[02:18] Shi**
Snacks? No, clay...
**[02:23] Shi**
What are you making?
**[02:24] Mei**
These? Shark eggs!
**[02:28] Shi**
Yep, that's definitely just a rice bowl.
**[02:31] Shi**
Wouldn't it hurt the mother
to lay eggs shaped like these?
**[02:34] Kan**
Unlike birds, fish eggs
are soft, so it's fine.
**[02:38] Kan**
You can touch them if you like.
**[02:39] Shi**
All right, then...
**[02:42] Shi**
Right, sharks are fish.
**[02:44] Shi**
So these are fish eggs.

**[02:46] Shi**
Wait, fish eggs?
**[02:47] Mei**
That drill is so they can
wedge it into a rock crevice,
**[02:51] Mei**
so it doesn't get washed away.
**[02:54] Kan**
This one uses the strings to
entangle itself to do the same thing.
**[02:59] Shi**
So there are proper reasons for
all of these unusual shapes.
**[03:03] Shi**
What's the idea behind this rice bowl type?
**[03:06] Mei**
Well, that's...
**[03:08] Kan**
We looked up, and it was already like that.
**[03:10] Shi**
*Did they make it without thinking at all?*
**[03:13] Kan**
I know!
**[03:15] Kan**
Maybe we'll get a pass if we make
this cup not the egg itself,
**[03:18] Kan**
but a house for the eggs,
**[03:20] Kan**
with a bunch of small eggs
kneaded into the sand.
**[03:24] Kan**
That should be safer than
leaving the eggs exposed.
**[03:27] Shi**
A house for the eggs...
**[03:30] Shi**
God has spoken!
**[03:32] God**
Accepted!
**[03:33] Kan**
What? The bowl?
**[03:35] Shi**
No. These eggs over here!

**[03:41] Kan**
Too bad. I thought the bowl
idea was pretty good.
**[03:45] Mei**
But a lot of the others passed!
**[03:47] Mei**
Thanks for your help, Ven-chan!
**[03:49] ---**
I'll go and test these.
**[03:50] Kan**
Don't mention it. I had fun doing it.
**[03:53] Kan**
I wish we'd get orders
like this for the birdies.
**[03:56] Shi**
Weren't you assigned an order
like that the other day?
**[04:03] (Flashback) God**
A bird that doesn't lay eggs!
**[04:06] (Flashback) God**
Make it work, please.
**[04:08] (Flashback) Tsu**
Birdies fall under your
umbrella, right, Ven-chan?
**[04:10] (Flashback) Kan**
This is a hard one!
**[04:13] Shi**
There is no immediate deadline,
but apparently he wanted
**[04:15] Shi**
to see a bird whose chick is suddenly
born live, without hatching from an egg?
**[04:39] Kan**
And I had almost forgotten about it!
**[04:41] Shi**
Is there a problem?!
**[04:43] Kan**
How will they reproduce
without laying eggs?!
**[04:46] Kan**
That's too ridiculous!
**[04:48] Shi**
She's really in shock.
**[04:50] Kan**
What do you think happens to a bird
with a lot of babies in its tummy?
**[04:54] Shi**
It'll be too heavy to fly.
**[04:56] Kan**
That's right!
**[04:57] Kan**
That's why I made it so they lay
the egg as soon as it's done!
**[05:00] Shi**
O-Oh, I see...
**[05:02] Kan**
After being laid, the egg is "asleep."
**[05:05] Kan**
Even if the eggs are laid over
the course of multiple days,
**[05:07] Kan**
they can be incubated together
because they're made
**[05:10] Kan**
so that they only activate
when they're warmed!
***SIGN*** It's warm
***SIGN*** All right,
let's grow!
**[05:14] Shi**
That's such a good design!
**[05:16] Shi**
Now that I think about it,
the egg system is amazing.
**[05:20] Kan**
There are other problems, too.
Put out your hands.
**[05:23] Shi**
Sure.
**[05:25] Kan**
What do you feel?
**[05:27] Shi**
Uh, it's quite toasty?
**[05:30] Kan**
Birdies have a lot of muscles that
help them take flight immediately,
**[05:33] Kan**
so their base metabolism is high.
**[05:35] Kan**
They're like motorcycles that are
constantly running their engines.
**[05:38] Kan**
That's why their bodies are always toasty.
**[05:40] Shi**
I see!
**[05:41] Kan**
Birds' body temperatures are
about 42 degrees Celsius.
**[05:44] Kan**
That means they're really
toeing the line where
**[05:47] Kan**
proteins start to break down due to high heat.
**[05:50] Kan**
What do you think happens when you
keep a baby inside that kind of body?
***SIGN*** It's too hot!
**[05:54] Chick**
It's too hot!
***SIGN*** We must endure!
**[05:56] Chi2**
We must endure!
**[05:58] Shi**
They'd be cooked.
**[05:59] Kan**
That's why they're put outside in eggs!
**[06:02] Shi**
Oh, that reminds me! Birds have
hollow bones to be lighter, right?
**[06:07] Shi**
Where does the material for
the egg shells come from?
**[06:12] Kan**
That's a great question!
**[06:13] Kan**
We use those hollow bones.
**[06:16] Kan**
The calcium for the eggs is stored
in the cavities of the bones.
**[06:20] Shi**
Aha!
**[06:21] Kan**
The chick, on the other hand,
slowly absorbs the calcium from the egg shell,
**[06:25] Kan**
which makes the shell thin and easy
to open when it's time to hatch.
**[06:29] Shi**
Wow! Eggs really are
amazingly well designed!
**[06:32] Kan**
You see?
**[06:34] Kan**
And yet... a bird that gives birth to
live chicks instead of laying eggs?!
**[06:37] Kan**
That's like rejecting everything bird-like!
**[06:39] Shi**
Then how about going in a different
direction and making a flightless bird?
**[06:43] Shi**
Like the ostrich or the penguin?
**[06:45] Kan**
I didn't make either of those.
**[06:48] Shi**
Now that you mention it...
**[06:50] Kan**
When they can't fly, they're easier prey.
**[06:52] Kan**
That means I can't give them
flashy colors, which is boring.
**[06:55] Kan**
Oh, well. I'll give it a try.
**[06:59] Kan**
So, no eggs, no wings, and no high
body temperature, either.
**[07:05] Kan**
All right, that's it!
***SIGN*** Bird
**[07:09] Kan**
What do you think?
**[07:11] Shi**
*She's stopped caring!*
**[07:13] Shi**
This... isn't a bird... is it?
**[07:17] Kan**
Why?
**[07:19] Kan**
What even is a bird?
**[07:21] Kan**
If you look at it while thinking it's a bird,
doesn't that make it a bird?
**[07:24] Kan**
See, it's a bird!
**[07:26] Shi**
P-Please pull yourself together, Venus-san!
**[07:30] Shi**
All right, let's start from here
and add more bird-like features.
**[07:34] Kan**
Well, first, the beak?
**[07:38] Kan**
What else?
**[07:39] Shi**
U-Um, maybe the front and
hind legs aren't very bird-like?
**[07:45] Kan**
There.
**[07:47] Shi**
But it is becoming more bird-like.
**[07:49] Shi**
I think. Yes!
**[07:51] Shi**
If the ears were gone,
I think it'd be very bird-like!
**[07:54] Kan**
Really?
**[07:55] Shi**
Um, um, then... if the fur
was more like feathers?
**[08:01] Kan**
That's good enough. Let's say
these are limp feathers.
**[08:05] Shi**
Huh?!
**[08:06] Kan**
Feathers have a hard shaft so they
can generate thrust while flying.
**[08:10] Kan**
If it's flightless,
the feathers can just be like fur.
**[08:12] Kan**
I'll have Mars-san test this.
**[08:16] Shi**
*I wonder if this is going to work.*
***SIGN*** Prototype Lab
**[08:21] Hig**
It's done.
**[08:24] Hig**
This first prototype is oviparous, but flightless,
and with a lower body temperature.
**[08:29] Hig**
If it seems okay, I'll make it viviparous.
***SIGN*** Viviparous
**[08:33] Hig**
But, how should I put it...
**[08:34] Kan**
It's more or less a mammal, isn't it?
***SIGN*** Mammals
***SIGN*** Birds
**[08:38] Hig**
If you divide birds and mammals like this,
**[08:42] Hig**
then this one would be about here.
**[08:44] Shi**
It's barely making it!
**[08:47] Hig**
By the way, right now the
egg is in there like this.
**[08:50] Shi**
That looks so exhausting!
**[08:51] Hig**
If it can hold this egg, I think giving
birth to a big baby should be possible.
**[08:55] Hig**
It seems okay, so should
I remove the egg-laying?
**[08:58] Kan**
W-Wait! If we cross that line,
won't it stop being a bird?!
**[09:02] Kan**
It'll be a mammal! What am I making here?!
**[09:05] Shi**
V-Venus-san, calm down!
**[09:07] Kan**
My heart can't decide!
**[09:09] Kan**
If we make this many changes,
will the result still be a bird?!
**[09:12] Hig**
Oh, boy...
**[09:13] Shi**
Your worries are valid.
**[09:15] Shi**
While that's a small step for a bird,
**[09:18] Shi**
I'm sure it'll be a giant leap for birdkind!
**[09:21] Kan**
I know! I need the courage to accept change!
**[09:25] Kan**
I'm a designer first!
**[09:26] Kan**
The client is God!
**[09:29] Kan**
All right, I've made up my mind!
**[09:30] Kan**
Let's just cross this line!
**[09:35] Shi**
God has spoken!
**[09:37] Both**
Huh?
**[09:38] God**
Accepted!
***SIGN*** Kiwi
***SIGN*** Accepted
**[09:41] Shi**
"That bird's funny, so it's fine," apparently.
**[09:45] Kan**
What?!
**[09:47] Kan**
I was finally ready to take that last step...
**[09:50] Hig**
Wasn't the order for "a bird
that doesn't lay eggs"?
**[09:53] Hig**
This one still lays eggs. Is that okay?
**[09:56] Shi**
It seems that its skeletal structure
holding the egg was really funny.
**[10:00] Shi**
So the order was changed to
"a bird that seems like it only needs
**[10:04] Shi**
a tiny update to not lay eggs," and accepted.
**[10:11] Kan**
I'm exhausted! That's so unreasonable!
I might not be cut out for this job!
**[10:16] Mei**
I'm back.
**[10:18] Mei**
Hey, Ven-chan! Listen to this!
**[10:21] Mei**
When I made the egg bowl from earlier
for a snail instead of a shark,
**[10:25] Mei**
it was accepted!
***SIGN*** Accepted

**[10:28] Mei**
Ven-chan, you're a genius! Thank you!
**[10:32] Hig**
You never know what will
tickle the client's fancy.
**[10:42] Kan**
That's true!
**[10:44] Kan**
I can even make a bird like this cute!
**[10:47] Kan**
This is my calling, after all.
**[10:50] Kan**
It's not easy being me!

That is sudden.
**[11:01] Kim**
Why is the kiwi called a kiwi?
***SIGN*** Because it looks like the kiwi fruit
***SIGN*** Because its cry sounds like "kiwi."

***SIGN*** Because it looks like the kiwi fruit
***SIGN*** Because its cry sounds like "kiwi."
**[11:09] Una**
Which one could it be?
**[11:13] Miz**
I know the answer already.
**[11:15] Miz**
I heard the kiwi cry once
when I was around Venus.
**[11:19] Miz**
It sounds like "krrrlll," not "kiwi"!
***SIGN*** Because it looks like the kiwi fruit
***SIGN*** Because its cry sounds like "kiwi."
**[11:22] Miz**
It's #1! I'll even wager my lunch on it!
**[11:25] Kim**
Oh, too bad! You fell for it.
**[11:28] Kim**
The right answer was #2.
**[11:30] Una**
It's the cry? So the kiwi cries "kiwi"?
**[11:33] Kim**
Yes, but only the male cries "kiwi."
**[11:37] Kim**
Ven-chan had a female,
and they have a different cry!
**[11:41] Miz**
You set me up!
**[11:43] Miz**
But a loss is a loss. Take my lunch.
**[11:47] Kim**
Yay!
**[11:49] Miz**
But my lunch today is
vitamin pills and water.
**[11:54] Kim**
You set me up!
**[11:56] Una**
You get along so well.
**[12:05] Shi**
First, I'll tell you each your orders.
**[12:08] Shi**
Mercury-san: "Doesn't sink."
**[12:12] Shi**
Pluto-san: "Can swallow needles."
**[12:16] Shi**
Neptune-san: "Unaffected by ground
that's painful to stand on."
**[12:21] Shi**
Jupiter-san: "Resists heat and cold."
**[12:26] Shi**
Venus-san: "Can survive with little water."
**[12:30] Shi**
Each of you will make one
of these five animals.
**[12:36] Shi**
And then, apparently, in the end, you have to
**[12:38] Shi**
"make an animal that combines
all five of those traits."
**[12:43] All**
Wha?!
**[12:44] All**
Absurd!
**[12:44] All**
What does that even mean?!
**[12:45] All**
Not again...
**[12:47] Ued**
Oh, my, that is tough.
**[12:49] Shi**
That's exactly the reaction I expected.
**[12:51] Shi**
Once again, God's idea
is making everyone suffer.
**[12:55] Tsu**
Well, everybody seems to
be motivated, so it'll work out.
**[12:59] Ued**
You're right.
**[13:00] Shi**
But...
**[13:01] Tsu**
If we just make them individually
and put it together later,
**[13:05] Tsu**
we'll manage somehow.
**[13:06] Shi**
I hope so.
**[13:08] Miz**
I'm done. Give me a sheet of paper, please.
**[13:10] Shi**
You're already done? That's quick!
**[13:14] Tsu**
Mercury-kun, your order was for
a creature that doesn't sink.
**[13:18] Tsu**
What did you make?
**[13:19] Miz**
This.
**[13:23] Shi**
*It's straight-up just wire!*
**[13:25] Ued**
That's a simple creature.
**[13:27] Miz**
It wasn't specified what it doesn't
sink in, so I assumed water.
**[13:32] Miz**
This guy will stand on water.
**[13:34] Shi**
It won't sink with that shape?
**[13:37] Shi**
For floating on water, I imagine
something more boat-like.
**[13:40] Miz**
That would be too easy. If we're making it,
a more complicated concept is better.
**[13:44] Shi**
I took inspiration from the pond skater.
**[13:47] Shi**
Pond skater?
**[13:48] Tsu**
I see.
**[13:49] Tsu**
You know how the pond skater has long legs?
**[13:51] Tsu**
Because they're so long, their weight gets
distributed further, and they don't sink easily.
**[13:56] Shi**
I see.
**[13:57] Ued**
Oh, but the feet are different
from the pond skater's.
**[14:03] Miz**
This is a further enhancement
to the pond skater.
***SIGN*** Water
***SIGN*** Feet
**[14:06] Miz**
The pond skater has fine hairs on its
feet and floats by repelling the water.
**[14:11] Miz**
However, this technique can only
be used by small creatures.
**[14:14] Tsu**
That's right.
**[14:16] Tsu**
You know how peaches have
this fuzz that repels water?
**[14:20] Tsu**
The pond skater legs use the same principle.
**[14:23] Moz**
Pond skaters are extremely light.
**[14:26] Moz**
So that's enough for them to float,
**[14:27] Moz**
but if you want bigger creatures to float,
**[14:29] Moz**
this foot shape with a larger
surface are should be ideal.
**[14:35] Moz**
All right, it floats! Done.
**[14:37] Shi**
It's really floating!
**[14:39] Tsu**
It's the same principle as skis.
**[14:42] Tsu**
The bigger and flatter the feet,
the less likely you are to sink.
**[14:46] Una**
Wait, we're making the ground water?
**[14:48] Una**
Oh, no, that's different
from what I was doing...
**[14:51] Shi**
Neptune-san, your order was "unaffected by
ground that's painful to stand on."
**[14:55] Una**
Yes. I pictured the needle
mountain they have in Hell.
**[15:00] Miz**
What did you come up with?
**[15:02] Una**
Well, for the needle mountain,
an animal should have really thick soles,
**[15:06] Una**
so my base was the elephant.
**[15:08] Una**
Then I worked on adding protectors,
**[15:11] ---**
so it can sit and rest
on painfully rough ground, too.
**[15:15] Tsu**
That's quite a straightforward design.
**[15:18] Una**
I went straightforward with the protectors,
too, and made them from keratin.
**[15:21] Shi**
Keratin?
***SIGN*** Keratin
**[15:22] Una**
Just think of it as really thick, hard skin.
**[15:26] Shi**
Don't you need to protect the entire body?
**[15:28] Miz**
That'll make it hard to move,
and it'll be heavy.
**[15:30] Miz**
Worse, it goes against my design!
**[15:33] Miz**
We have to merge it in the end!
**[15:35] Miz**
Let's give it longer legs
and make it thinner!
**[15:39] Miz**
More! Keep pushing it to the limit!
**[15:41] Una**
The legs will snap!
**[15:43] Miz**
Drop more weight! Drop more weight!
**[15:46] Miz**
Drop more weight! Drop more weight!
**[15:53] Una**
It ended up like this.
**[15:56] Ued**
Oh, my!
**[15:58] Una**
Hm, it's really starting to
look like it belongs in Hell.
**[16:01] Mei**
Would that mean the needles from
the mountain are its main food source?
**[16:05] Shi**
Pluto-san, your order was
"can swallow needles," right?
**[16:08] Mei**
Yes.
**[16:10] Mei**
If the needs can get past the throat,
I think the stomach can handle the rest.
**[16:15] Mei**
While hard things like
teeth and nails are fine,
**[16:18] Mei**
it'll be painful if it gets
stuck in something soft.
**[16:20] Mei**
I wonder how it could be swallowed smoothly.
**[16:23] Mei**
Jupiter-san, can you eat this?
**[16:27] Kim**
Sure thing!
***SIGN*** Don't try this at home
**[16:35] Shi**
*He's like a circus performer!*
**[16:38] Shi**
Jupiter-san, are you okay?!
**[16:44] Mei**
"If you keep the needles vertical,
they won't get stuck in the throat," he said.
**[16:47] Mei**
Of course, that's it!
**[16:51] Mei**
Here we go!
**[16:53] Mei**
I put a lot of claws in the mouth
that will orient the needles vertically,
**[16:57] Mei**
and send them to the stomach.
**[17:02] Ued**
Oh, how cute!
**[17:08] Mei**
And done!
**[17:10] Shi**
We have to merge that with the others?
**[17:12] Tsu**
We're making steady progress.
**[17:14] Ued**
Because everybody here is so skilled.
**[17:17] Shi**
Then we still need...
**[17:19] Kim**
I'm done, too.
**[17:22] Shi**
You had "resists heat and cold."
**[17:25] Kim**
Yes, this is what I did!
**[17:31] Shi**
It's big.
**[17:33] Kim**
Bigger things are more resistant to cold.
**[17:36] Tsu**
Hot water stays hot longer in a
bathtub than in a cup, right?
**[17:39] Tsu**
Similarly, the bigger you are, the less
the outside temperature affects you.
**[17:44] Kan**
Hold it right there!
**[17:45] Kan**
You just put feet on Neptune-san's seal!
**[17:48] Kan**
You didn't do any work!
**[17:49] Kim**
But to ward off cold, protecting
the body with fat is the best!
**[17:53] Kim**
Hooray for fat!
**[17:56] Shi**
But how will this handle heat?
**[18:00] Shi**
It looks like it's panting
because it's too hot.
**[18:03] Kim**
I thought it could sweat to
keep from getting too hot.
**[18:07] Kan**
My order is "can survive with little water."
**[18:10] Kan**
If there's no water to sweat out,
it'll dry out and die!
**[18:14] Kim**
Oh, yeah. That's tough, Ven-chan.
**[18:16] Kim**
Good luck!
**[18:17] Kan**
Wait! You're just shoving this on me?!
**[18:19] Kan**
Is this one of those things where
you suffer more the later you start?
**[18:26] Kan**
I guess I have no choice.

**[18:32] Kan**
Mars-san, help, please!
**[18:34] Shi**
*She made it her problem!*
**[18:36] Hig**
What? Make this resistant
to water scarcity, too?
**[18:39] Hig**
That's not trivial.
**[18:41] Kan**
That's why I need you!
**[18:43] Hig**
I think the fat and fluff are good
for protecting against both heat and cold.
**[18:48] Shi**
Fluff to protect against the heat?
**[18:50] Hig**
Both fat and fluff are insulators.
**[18:54] Hig**
That'll protect the body from the heat.
**[18:56] Shi**
It's cooler to have a coat of fur?
***SIGN*** Fur
***SIGN*** Fat
***SIGN*** Body
**[18:58] Hig**
Yes, only the surface heats up,
so the heat doesn't get to the body.

***SIGN*** Ultimate Vanilla
**[19:03] Hig**
If you put a cold carton of
ice cream out in a hot room,
**[19:07] Hig**
wrapping it in a sweater
makes it melt more slowly.
**[19:10] Shi**
Oh, I see!
**[19:12] Hig**
So while that keeps the
body temperature from rising,
**[19:16] Hig**
it also keeps it from lowering.
**[19:18] Hig**
To prevent overheating,
you definitely need water...
**[19:22] Kan**
Oh, how about breaking down the
fat in the body into water?
**[19:28] Hig**
That could be possible, but...
**[19:30] Kan**
But?
**[19:31] Hig**
In order to break down fat,
you need a lot of water.
**[19:35] Kan**
That defeats the purpose.
**[19:37] Kan**
Then the only other way is to
store a lot of water in the body
**[19:41] Kan**
when it can drink, and only use it sparingly.
**[19:43] Kan**
Where could that water be stored, though?
**[19:46] Hig**
Let's see...
**[19:48] Hig**
Red blood cells can store water in the blood.
**[19:51] Hig**
If you store too much, they'll burst, though.
**[19:55] Kan**
Can't we make them more robust,
so they don't burst?
**[19:57] Hig**
We can, but the veins are sized
**[20:00] Hig**
so that red blood cells barely pass through.
**[20:03] Hig**
Huge red blood cells would block them.
**[20:06] Kan**
Oh, right...
**[20:08] Miz**
What, what? You strugglin'?
**[20:10] Kan**
You came to mock me because you're done?
**[20:13] Kan**
But I've already come up with a solution!
**[20:16] Miz**
Oh, what's that?
**[20:17] Kan**
I made the red blood cells longer!
**[20:20] Kan**
By making them elliptical, they can pass
through narrow veins even when they get big!
**[20:27] Hig**
That could work!
**[20:29] Shi**
We got an okay here!
**[20:31] Miz**
But it's too heavy to float!
**[20:33] Miz**
I want it to be light!
At least reduce the fat by half!
**[20:36] Kan**
What's with you all of the sudden?!
**[20:37] Una**
Not again...
**[20:39] Miz**
In order to protect the body from the sun,
**[20:41] Miz**
we leave just the fat on the back!
We don't need the rest!
***SIGN*** And then...
**[20:51] Miz**
When I combined everyone's sketches,
this came out.
**[20:54] Kan**
Everyone's? You meddled with most of them.
**[21:00] Kan**
I wonder if this will pass.
**[21:02] Mei**
Do we start over?
**[21:04] Kim**
I think the general direction was right.
**[21:07] Ued**
Where does this baby live, anyway?
**[21:10] Shi**
Extreme heat and intense cold,
its feet don't sink, and it swallows needles, right?
**[21:16] All**
Ah!
**[21:17] Kan**
The desert!
**[21:19] Una**
You sink in sand, and it's painful
to stand on when it gets hot.
**[21:23] Mei**
There is little water,
and cacti have thorns!
**[21:26] Kim**
It's 50 degrees Celsius during the day,
and below freezing at night!
**[21:29] Miz**
Leave the rest to me!
**[21:31] Miz**
It doesn't sink, can swallow needles,
is unaffected by pain,
**[21:35] Miz**
resists heat and cold,
and can survive with little water...
**[21:39] Miz**
This animal is the answer to all that!
**[21:45] Shi**
God has spoken!
**[21:48] God**
Accepted!
***SIGN*** Accepted
***SIGN*** Camel
**[21:52] Una**
Since the skin on its knees is thick,
it can kneel on hot desert sand.
**[21:56] Kim**
Just on its back, there's a
big hump of fat and hair.
**[22:00] Mei**
It can eat cacti.
**[22:02] Shi**
*So it has those claws inside its mouth...*
**[22:04] Tsu**
That was amazing teamwork.
**[22:08] Ued**
I'm sure God will send down more
of these relay orders now.
