第三話
木樂跟隨拿著手機的人類想要攀談與觀察，不料這些人類全都無視於他，或是馬上就變成青蛙怪物。木樂逐漸感覺疲憊和孤寂，碰巧這時感受到一道視線，一位自稱來旅行的青少年春馬出現。春馬向木樂詢問這些奇怪的生物是什麼，並且和木樂聊了起來。木樂見有人可以和她講話，說了自己的經歷，以及對探索這些事情感覺有點無助，並且想要放棄，打算在這個世界找一個角落生存就好。春馬感受到木樂的沮喪，提議木樂也許可以先不管怪物，由她當嚮導帶春馬到觀光景點參觀來轉移注意力、減輕壓力。當他們來到熱鬧商圈，卻發現有大量的青蛙怪在進入商店時出現微弱的人影，馬上變成了松鼠怪物。他們發現原來這些怪物不僅是人變異的，更可以轉換成不同的樣貌，這點讓他們突然又對怪物感興趣了。
Episode 3
Leigh wanted to talk with the people who were using phones, but they ignored her, and some of them even turned into frog monsters. Leigh became tired of exploring the monsters and felt depressed. Suddenly, a teenager named Haruma approached Leigh. He said that he was a traveler and was curious about the creatures. Leigh shared the story of what she had experienced and some clues of the monsters. She told Haruma that she was glad to have someone to chat with in this situation because she felt helpless and lacked the passion to figure out how these creatures came to be before meeting him.
Haruma suggested, "How about we take a break from exploring for a while? Would you like to show me around and introduce your city to me?" Leigh replied, "Umm…sure! Why not?" However, when they walked down a shopping street, they found many frog monsters transforming into their original humans like in a flash at first, and then they became squirrel monsters the next second after entering the shops. These squirrel monsters appeared to be shopaholics as they bought a lot of things in the store and simultaneously shopped online using their phones. To Leigh and Haruma, it aroused their interest that these monsters could shapeshift into different kinds of creatures.
