BEASTERS is a story about a world where carnivores and herbivores are anthropomorphized and live together in the same society. Socially, carnivores are prohibited from eating herbivores, but in reality, carnivores follow their instincts and kill herbivores. This time, we will introduce the incident that occurred at the beginning of the story, involving the alpaca Tem.
Tem was killed! The culprit was a carnivore
Tem was killed at the beginning of the story. His goal was food. In this world, incidents are occurring where carnivores take advantage of the darkness to eat herbivores. The herbivores, who know this, secretly fear the carnivores, but even at this school, on the day of the incident, the carnivores are always seen as bad and kept at a distance. However, it seems that things go back to normal after a few days.
Who killed Tem? The first suspect was Legoshi.
Legoshi, the gray wolf who was friends with Tem and is also the main character, was acting strangely on the day of the incident. He asks Els the Angora sheep if he is sad about Tem's death. Els returns to the practice room in the middle of the night to get his watch. Legoshi manages to get there first and catches her. He then gives Els the love letter from Tim, who liked her but couldn't give it to her.
Then Tim's case is left alone
After introducing Legoshi and explaining his carnivorous instincts at the beginning, Tim's case is left alone for the most part. The truth remains a mystery. Even so, Louis, the head of the drama club, secretly presents him with a bouquet of flowers and seems not to have forgotten about the incident.
Rattlesnake helps solve Tem's case
After destroying the Shishi group, Legoshi returns home. Since then, he has been plagued by a rattling sound. He also feels a presence watching over him. In the midst of all this, a rattlesnake suddenly appears in front of Legoshi. He is said to have six eyes, and is Rokume, the only guard at the school. Legoshi falls in his shoes. Rokume asks Legoshi to solve Tem's cannibalism case. However, he was not given any information about Tem's case because he didn't want anyone to be a suspect based on the incomplete information he had.
Legoshi finds the carnivorous beast that killed Tem
Legoshi is attacked
Legoshi begins to search for the culprit who was looking for Tem. One day, on a night when his nose was not working well, Legoshi is attacked by the culprit. He is overwhelmed by the force. It is dark and he can't tell who it is, but he manages to bite him and remember the culprit's scent. Using this scent as a guide, they continue to search for the culprit.
Legoshi devotes himself to training
Legoshi, who thought he couldn't beat the culprit, went to the black market. He went to Gohin, the panda who had looked after him before, and began his training. Legoshi decided not to eat any meat, and succeeded in overcoming his instincts in front of meat. And after special training, his body went from being focused on fangs in battle to being good at attacking with his claws.
The culprit is Liz
During club activities, an incident occurred in which a carnivore misused its strength and tore off the arm of a herbivore. Legoshi and Liz dealt with the situation quickly. At that time, Liz asked, "You're the culprit?" Legoshi had already determined that the culprit was Liz from the smell and saliva from the attack.
The truth behind the incident
Liz is a brown bear. When a bear reaches a height of over 2m, it must take medicine to induce muscle atrophy. Liz was suffering from the side effects of the medicine. It was Tem who saved her. Tem was able to suppress the side effects of Liz's medicine by talking to her as a friend. Then one day, Liz decided not to take the medicine before meeting Tem. That day, Liz could not resist her instincts and killed and ate Tem.
Confronting Liz, the killer of Temu
Legoshi eating insects
Legoshi decides to talk to Liz with his fists. After that, he decides to eat insects. And after learning the importance of respect for life, Legoshi has grown a little and is heading to fight Liz.
Battle in the shower room
The two are left alone in the locker room. They move to the shower room and the battle begins. Legoshi challenges the overwhelmingly powerful brown bear head-on. The cleaning lady who happens to be there intervenes, so the battle is put on hold. And it is decided that the battle between the two will take place on New Year's Eve.
New Year's Eve Battle
It's finally New Year's Eve, and the final battle between Legoshi and Liz begins. However, Liz the brown bear is still dominant. Liz has once again taken the muscle-thinning drug. At that time, Louis, who has left the boss of the Shishi Group, comes to her rescue. Then he offers his leg to Legoshi, telling him to eat it. Legoshi eats the leg. And he is able to defeat Liz brilliantly.
Tem Finally
This work depicts the coexistence of carnivores and herbivores, and their meals. It's a very interesting story about various animals who are torn between instinct and reason.
