Okay, so...
Seton Academy Record 2 Why Females Put XXX in Their Mouths
We're going to test you to see if you're good enough for the cooking club.
Remember, you may be the pack's boss,
but the president of this club is Hino-san,
and after her comes me, the vice president!
If you can't cook something at least a little bit tasty,
you won't be allowed to join the club!
Good luck!
Okay! I'll—
I'll do my best!
Who are you?!
This is a school for animals, where all sorts of animals live together.
It is a sacred cage where constant battles between species
foster a spirit of survival of the fittest in all students,
and it is called...
Seton Academy
Seton Academy!

Miyubi: Dead
Cooking Room
Sorry for butting in.
I'm Komori Yukari, the koala.
Koala Marsupialia Diprotodontia Phascolarctidae Phascolarctos
Koala?
Yes! I'd like to take the test for this club, too!
Huh? Why?
Because I want to study cooking, of course!
That's fine, right, Jin-kun?
I know it'd make me happy to have more members.
Oh... Sure.
But...
I'm pretty sure koalas only eat eucalyptus.
That's exactly right.
We normally only eat a certain type of eucalyptus.
From morning to night, it's all eucalyptus, eucalyptus, eucalyptus, eucalyptus.
I mean, I like it. I like eucalyptus.
But I want to try different things sometimes.
I told my mom that, but...
This is our survival strategy!
...is all she ever says.
If I don't do something, I'll eat nothing but eucalyptus until I die.
I can see how that would be stressful.
So you want to join the cooking club to try some different foods?
No!
I'm searching...
for something...
that I ate long ago!
Is this a food manga now?!
But it was so far back, I don't remember when it was.
I can't even remember what food it was.
No one in your family knows, either?
I thought of that, so I asked my mom once.
And she said...
Why are you asking about that?
...and wouldn't tell me, for some reason.
Okay, I get it. You can take the test to—
Thank you!
She's really good with a knife!
Barely anything's going in!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
* They made her wash them off
Measure the amounts!
She's backed way off now.
I guess she's afraid of fire.
It's done! My special eucalyptus pasta!
You ended up using eucalyptus anyway?!
This is good!
I can't believe it... It's good.
* It's said that applying heat prevents the growth of the hydrogen cyanide that makes eucalyptus toxic, but still, never try this at home!
Don't you want some, Ranka-san?
W-Wolves don't accept charity from—
Just eat it!
So Yukari-chan passes!
Y-Yeah, I guess so.
Damn! The point of this test was to keep everyone else out!
Banzai! Banzai!
Oh, fine. As long as that stupid dog isn't here.
Okay, now it's Ranka-chan's turn!
Huh?!
H-Hino-san, why her?
Well, she doesn't have any experience, so we'll need to help her.
It won't be a test at all, then.
Hey, Jin...
Do you think I can do this?
You can if you do exactly as I say.
First, rinse off the vegetables.
Got it!
I washed it!
Don't use soap!
Whatever. Now bring the meat over.
Right!
I brought the meat!
Not in your mouth!
Why does Ranka-san want to join the cooking club?
Huh?
Hmm... Because she's Jin-kun's... and my boss, I guess?
You're all friends, then!
But are you sure you don't mind?
She's taking your male.
I mean, there are no other humans at this school,
so I thought you two were a couple.
Not at all! We're not like that at all!
Jin-kun is just my friend!
He's absolutely, positively not my boyfriend!
Why are you crying?
Cutting onions makes me tear up!
Oh...
So the two of them are an interspecies couple, then?
That can't be easy, so we should cheer them on!
I take it back!
I'll keep that stupid koala out of the club if it kills me!
What's wrong?
Dumb dog...
You can handle the rest however you like!
Huh?! But if you don't tell me what to do...
Love!
Cooking is about love.
If you make it with love, it'll taste good!
Love...
You can do it! I know you can!
Okay! I'll try!
Thanks, Jin!
Dinner is served!
It's my special "Ranka's Love"!
Love?
Th-This smell... It's totally po—
It's love.
By the way, you seem to be mistaken, little koala.
When you passed earlier, we only meant you cleared the first test.
Huh?!
If you want to join the club...
You have to eat all of this!
Why?!
Jin-kun?!
We all cook for each other here.
A picky eater has no place in this club!
If you can't eat that, the results of the previous test will be—
Jin!
Open wide!
What are you trying to do?
I filled this with my love for you!
So open wide!
I will not!
This is definitely something no one should eat.
Hitomi-san isn't even eating any. She's just taking pictures.
But... I wonder why...
For some reason, it feels familiar.
Hey! Don't!
You'll die!
This is it!
This is the dish I've been searching for!
I'm almost positive it's not!
No, it is!
This flavor... I've tasted it somewhere before.
Koalas have bacteria in their bodies that allow them to digest toxic eucalyptus.
But they aren't born with it.
Shortly after birth, baby koalas eat undigested eucalyptus,
called "pap," directly from their mother's anus.
That's how they acquire this bacteria.
Yes, undigested eucalyptus from their mother's anus!
By the way, baby pandas also eat their mothers' undigested bamboo.
I finally remember.
It was... from my mom's butt.
Hey! Are you okay?!
Here!
No! My love!
Enough! Stay away from me!
If you like it, Yukari-chan, that means Ranka-chan passes, too.
Hitomi-san, you'd better eat some before I finish it off!
Huh?!
Here! Don't be shy! Eat! Eat!
Um...
Please, eat it quickly!
Seton Academy: Join the Pack!
Koala!
Seton Academy: Join the Pack!
Two-toed sloth!
We need someone to give us vegetables?
Our budget is small, so we can't supply all the ingredients.
Do you know someone who can help?
Yeah. I heard the gardening club is handing out the food they've grown,
so I was thinking we could ask them to share some with us.
Yeah. Good idea.
Good idea!
Who are you?!
Oh! I know you!
You were chosen as Miss Female at Seton Academy
Middle School for three years in a row!
I'm Nekomai Kurumi!
And what does Miss Female want with us?
Do you wanna join our pack?
Huh?!
But if you do, there's a very tough test to—
We're not doing that anymore!
What?!
If you have any interest in our club at all...
Of course not!
That doesn't interest meow at all!
Look!
If you're just window shopping, get out!
Aw, I can take just a little peek, can't I?
Can't I?
Cats produce several different types of purrs from their throats.
One of them is the unusually high-frequency "solicitation purr,"
which is said to awaken nurturing instincts in mammals.
Look, just go away alrea—
You're welcome to just watch.
We can't refuse a request from the school idol.
Huh?!
Hey, Jin, what's going on?
Everyone's suddenly being all nice to her!
Do you all prefer cats?! Tell me, Jin!
Sorry, but I can't give you any vegetables.
Why not?!
Our crops have suddenly started yielding less.
They have?
I think some idiot has been stealing our crops.
Who would do that?
Boars have very poor eyesight.
It wasn't you guys, was it?
A proud wolf would never do that!
Is that so?!
Let's just come back at night and take some in secret.
What happened to your pride as a wolf?!
Now what are we going to do?
Please share some vegetables with us, meow!
Um... but... fmumff...
Take these!
There's lots!
We can pick as much as we want without the prez seeing us!
Hey!
It was you two?!
They said we could have these.
I can see why you were Miss Female three years in a row!
Thanks, Kurumi-chan!
You're good at that, Kurumi-chan!
So fast! Like I'd expect from a cat!
You're welcome to pet my well-groomed hair if you like.
Th-They're relying on her more than me!
Canines lick their front feet as a sign of stress.
Hey, I'm bored of cooking.
Then leave!
Hey, Jin-kun, are you Ranka-chan's boyfriend?
Like hell I am! Who'd go out with that dumb dog?
What'd you do that for?
It's how cats say hello, meow!
Hey, everyone! I have a suggestion, meow!
What's up, Kurumi-chan?
What is it?
Well, why don't you all quit this club
and start a napping club with me?
Cooking's just a lot of hard work, right?
Starting a napping club with me would be a lot more fun!
Jin-kun agrees with me! Don't you?
I do not.
Sorry, Kurumi-chan.
We can't do that.
We all love cooking!
What?!
You heard them.
But why?!
Give it up.
There are some times when you can't have your way, no matter how much you purr.
If you want to take naps, go off and take one somewhere on your own.
You were trying to take over my pack from the start, weren't you?!
Hmph! Fine, then!
I was just joking around, anyway! Just killing some time!
I don't even want to join this stupid club!
Hanging out in packs is so lame.
There goes a potential new member.
Hino-san...
I'm sure we'll find more soon.
Yeah...
It'd be fine with me if we didn't, though.
Jin! I found a new member for the club!
So early in the morning? Gross.
I get it! I get it! So bring them here already!
That's a corpse!
She's not a corpse! She's Miyubi!
Looks like she's on death's door to me.
She's got moss growing on her.
Huh? What's that?
She said this moss is her lunch!
She survives by eating some whenever she's hungry!
I get it.
So she's a sloth, right?
The slowest mammals in the world,
sloths only eat five grams of leaves per day,
and occasionally eat the moss that grows on their bodies.
Also, even though they're mammals, they're poikilothermic.
She can join, right?!
Nope.
Wh-Why not?
It should be obvious. She's...
This is perfect.
Miyubi-kun always stays in the classroom after school's out.
Seton Academy Headmaster Aramoto-sensei Alamosaurus
It's a bit of a problem.
You're her friends, so why don't you take her to the dorm?
Uh, we're not her friends...
Would you rather be stepped on?
All right, fine! We'll take her!
Jeez...
Miyubi, let's go!
Come on, let's get moving.
They move at speeds of 180 meters per hour.
8x Speed
That's slower than turtles and even rhinoceros beetles!
This'll take all night!
And when they move too much, they generate so much heat that...
They die!
Die!
They die!
Miyubi!
All she did was walk!
Sheesh... I'll just carry you.
But only this once!
I think we've got the wrong room.
She said she's been looking for a sport she's good at.
I don't think she'll find one!
Okay, later.
I'm outta here.
Wait, Jin!
Help me carry Miyubi to our club room tomorrow.
Listen...
She doesn't eat anything but five grams of leaves per day.
Five grams?
You think someone who can't even eat has any place in a cooking club?
If we force her, she'll just be miserable.
Give it up.
Fine! I won't ask for your help!
Seriously, would you just—
Okay, arms up!
Wh-What are you doing?!
She said she wanted a bath when she got back to the dorm.
So I'm going to give her one!
Why the hell am I blushing?
Like I care about an animal's naked body.
Oh, there's no soap!
I'll go get some.
Watch Miyubi for me!
Hey!
Fine, do what you want. But I'm not helping, you hear?
Sloths are unusual in that they are poikilothermic mammals.
In a bath, they will overheat...
and die!
Then don't take baths!
Oh, damn it! Fine!
I have no choice.
Don't die! Don't die!
I'm really leaving this time, all right?
8x Speed
Wh-What?
8x Speed
For me?
As... thanks.
For saving you from the bath?
No.
For letting me... join your... club.
Uh, but I didn't...
Ranka-chan said...
If you don't have any friends, join the cooking club!
I know you might be nervous about joining a club started by humans,
but Jin and the rest of them are super nice!
I was always alone, too,
but thanks to Jin, I'm having lots of fun now!
W-Well, she's been nothing but a hassle to me!
I was... always... alone... before.
So I'm... happy.
When sloths move too much, they become exhausted...
and die!
Die!
and die!
All you did was make tea!
I brought some soap!
Huh? Jin?
You brought Hino-san, too?
You gave Miyubi her bath!
Just with water, since there was no soap.
You just couldn't help yourself when you saw Miyubi-san naked, huh?
Don't be misleading like that!
Listen, Jin... About Miyubi...
It's fine.
If you want her in the club, she can join.
It'd make Hino-san happy to have more members, anyway.
Yeah! You're more than welcome!
Yay! I'm so happy for you, Miyubi!
And that just leaves you.
You're getting annoying. Just show yourself already.
Kurumi-chan?
I-I was passing by and I heard voices, so I came to see what was up, that's all!
Well, I think I'll go take a nap now!
You actually want to be part of the group, don't you?
Wh-What are you talking about?! I don't—
Your tail.
Your tail's telling everyone how you really feel!
It's been straight up all this time!
* A cat holds its tail straight up as an expression of affection when it is happy or wants attention.
That's how you felt, Kurumi-chan?
Is it true that there's coffee made from cat poop?
I-I'm...
We have a koala who's sick of eucalyptus, a sloth who likes sports,
and a wolf who wants to form a pack with humans.
Having an attention-seeking cat around won't change much.
The truth is, ever since the first time I saw all of you,
I envied you.
Yeah, right! I never felt that way at all!
A-And I don't want any friends, either!
And I don't want to join your silly cooking club!
Kurumi-chan...
Jin, what should we do about the vegetables?
Kurumi-san is gone, too.
Everyone!
So many vegetables!
Hino-san, are these...
The gardening club president said we get first dibs from now on.
Wow!
We can cook lots of things with all these!
Jin-kun, I guess we got one more new member.
Huh?
That cat...
The curry packed with vegetables is ready!
Let's eat!
When sloths eat foods they aren't used to,
they can't digest it... so they die!
they die!
Miyubi!
Oh, just let her die already!
Are you all right?!
What are we supposed to do?!
Hang in there!
Awoooo
