Chapter 2

This is the second chapter in the Heaven's Design Team manga series.

Plot
In a dark room, a spotlight turns on to reveal Mizushima as he makes a big speech to the other designers about a new creature he has designed. A horse without legs and one hole, the snake. But the rest of the team doesn't like it. Consequently, a massive debate begins after its introduction between two members of the team; Mizushima and Kanamori. They both argue about the pros and cons of snakes and birds, Kanamori's masterpieces.

Shimoda walks in on the debacle. Kimura, who was in the room listening, explains that since being introduced, Mizushima’s snakes have been causing problems for Kanamori’s birds down on Earth. Hoping to cheer Kanamori up, the four start brainstorming ideas on how to improve the egg. Aside from Mizushima’s ridiculous ideas of the parents carrying the egg during flight, Shimoda and Kimura come up with the idea of making the eggs hatch early when they sense a snake. Kimura even thinks that it could work for frog eggs. However, after testing some prototypes, there are a few flaws with the idea.

Later in the day, Shimoda informs Kimura that his idea for the frog eggs has been approved, much to his surprise. He explains that upon sensing movement when a snake starts eating the eggs, the rest immediately hatch into tadpoles and escape into the water. Both jealous and desperate, Kanamori demands that her colleague help her come up with a defense mechanism against snakes for her birds. After some thinking, the three come with an idea to have the bird’s nest hang from a branch. Kanamori writes a proposal requesting an upgrade and has Shimoda submit it to God. God then approvals the proposal and thus the weaver bird is upgraded.

A few days later, Shimoda walks in to find the team witnessing Kanamori hard at work with a look of resolute on her face. The situation on Earth between the snakesand birds has escalated with the weaver birds upgrading their defense mechanism to the extreme. In response, Kanamori has come up with a new type of bird and asks Shimoda to submit it. God approves this and the secretary bird, designed to hunt snakes, is born, much to Mizushima's dismay.
