Episode 2 continues with Michiru continuing to explain to the wolf that she used to be human and she follows him. The wolf switches to his human form and he’s a young male. Everyone stays in their human form in Anima-City.
I’m not a beastman
The wolf takes Michiru to the chairman of beastmen and he confirms she’s a beastman but she insists she used to be a human and calls “beastmen” a disease. They give her a citizenship form. We learn that the wolf is called Shirou and he’s a social worker. Michiru is given a place to stay, which shows how accepting the community is.
Getting her wallet back
The next day, Shirou takes Michiru to the City Hall. The wolf leaves her in the queue. Meanwhile, the mayor of the city thanks Shirou for helping with the rogue beastmen. Suddenly, Michiru finds the man that pickpocketed her and chases after him. Marie the mink who helped Michiru with the boat to Anima-City distracts her and recommends she goes to Rabbit Town and speak to Grand Grandma — she’s met with what looks like the Mafia. Michiru asks if they have her stolen wallet which has her student ID inside.
Teaching
