Shiro and Bunnosuke are headed towards Chiba Girls' High, and Bunnosuke looks nervous.
SHIRO : "Wait a damn minute, aren't you sorta old to be dating a high schooler..?"
Bunnosuke looks at him, with frustration in his eyes.
BUNNOSUKE : "Fyi, she's 18."
SHIRO : "An 18-year-old high schooler..?"
BUNNOSUKE : "Enrolled late, probably.."
SHIRO : "Or you're just fuckin' weird dating some high schooler."
- Bunnosuke looks at him, with some anger in his eyes.
BUNNOSUKE : "SHE'S 18!"
The two arrive at Chiba Girls' High, as they stand in front of its entrance gate.
SHIRO : "Why would beasts even prey on a girls-only high school?"
He suddenly hears a bunch of keyboard typing behind his back as he looks to see Bunnosuke typing on a tablet, his glasses glowing like some total hacker.
SHIRO : "Wha-..?!"
BUNNOSUKE : "I'm trying to gain access through the school CCTVs so we get more eyes on the area."
SHIRO : "Are you like- The nerd of the group?"
BUNNOSUKE : "Perhaps."
- Bunnosuke said, as he continued typing on his tablet.
SHIRO : "That sorta explains how you dated a high schooler."
BUNNOSUKE : "I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL!"
SHIRO : "Okay, relax!"
BUNNOSUKE : "Hm."
- Bunnosuke said, looking at his tablet. The tablet suddenly played a "ding" ringtone.
BUNNOSUKE : "We're in."
SHIRO : "Damn, that was quick."
BUNNOSUKE : "High school CCTVs have a weak firewall; they're very easy to bypass and gain access to."
- He said, while having one finger up.
Shiro doesn't reply; he just looks around the area as he sees a vending machine by the side, before he walks towards it and inserts a penny to get a drink.
Bunnosuke looked around to see a beautiful woman walking by. He stares at the woman, completely amazed by her gaze.
SHIRO : "Do we need to scout around or just sit tight here till one of your cameras picks something up?"
Bunnosuke doesn't listen; he's still completely staring at the woman.
SHIRO : "Huh?"
Shiro sneaks behind Bunnosuke as he tries to look at what Bunnosuke was looking at.
"Whoa.."
The two said, while still looking at the beautiful woman.
The two look at each other.
"Yuko Araki?!"
They both exclaimed at the same time.
SHIRO : "You know her too..?"
BUNNOSUKE : "What kind of nerd would I be without knowing my women, heh?"
- He said while tilting his glasses.
SHIRO : "That's a fair point."
…
Suddenly, Bunnosuke's tablet began to ring.
SHIRO : "Huh? What is it?"
- He said while looking at Bunnosuke's tablet.
Bunnosuke looks at his tablet to realize movement has been detected on one of the cameras."
BUNNOSUKE : "Did this camera have to notify me to show my ex?!"
The camera showed the detection of movement coming from the back of the school building to see Bunnosuke's ex sitting on the ground by herself.
Bunnosuke stares at the tablet.
BUNNOSUKE : "You're as beautiful as the day I lost you."
Shiro then suddenly smacked Bunnosuke's head.
SHIRO : "Move on, nerd."
- He said right after lightly smacking the back of Bunnosuke's head.
BUNNOSUKE : "Ow!"
SHIRO : "We're in the middle of a beast scouting here, don't get so damn distracted by your high schooler ex."
- Bunnosuke pouts.
BUNNOSUKE : "LOOK AT HER! SHE'S BEAUTIFUL!"
- He said as he faced the tablet towards Shiro.
Shiro looked closer, it wasn't a girl sitting down by herself behind the school building, it was showing one of the cameras in the storage room of the school with a student lying down on one of the table tennis tables, she looked like she was struggling to even live.
SHIRO : "That's her..?"
BUNNOSUKE : "Huh?"
- He looks at the tablet again, to see a student lying down, struggling to breathe as she pants.
BUNNOSUKE : "Should we send help..?"
SHIRO : "I think it's best we go there by ourselves."
Bunnosuke looks at the tablet again, now seeing the girl vomiting and having a swollen purple arm. It's as if she were beginning to mutate.
BUNNOSUKE : "Shit! she's mutating!"
SHIRO : "Mu- mutating..?! What do you mean?!"
BUNNOSUKE : "She's becoming a beast!"
SHIRO : "HUH?! DO WE GO THEN..?!"
Bunnosuke grabs something in his pocket, which is a syringe with purple liquid inside.
SHIRO : "What is that..?"
BUNNOSUKE : "It's an Immunoblocker, it'll delay her from mutating."
…
…
Both Bunnosuke and Shiro are now running inside Chiba Girls' High, rushing towards the storage room to attempt to delay the student's mutation.
SHIRO : "How much longer till she loses her humanity and becomes a beast?!"
- He said while running.
BUNNOSUKE : "It depends! maybe 5 to 10 minutes since she felt nauseous!"
SHIRO : "Maybe?! So you're just guessing?!"
BUNNOSUKE : "Don't ask me! No one knows the nature of a human mutating into a beast!"
The two rushed into the storage room, only for them to realize the student had become a beast. The beast had a purple, swollen color, with hair the same as the student before she transformed; it had big, swollen limbs with a petite torso. Its head and face still had a massive jaw, with one of its fangs piercing the eye.
SHIRO : "Shit!"
BUNNOSUKE : "We were too late to save a beautiful woman."
