"Why're you both watching a show meant for children?," Malleus asked.
Both Sebek and Yuu turned around from the phone video. His tone wasn't out of judgement just genuine curiosity. However, a certain green head didn't realize that.
Sebek squeaked. "Lord Malleus! I wasn't watching I was just-"
"It's a show called "Berry" made in the country of "E-wee-ne-tu". I hope I prounced that right," Yuu said. "Sebek and I have taken a liking to it."
Malleus walked closer. "What is the show about?"
Yuu showed him the video. "Berry is a black bear cub living her daily life with her mother Milky, her father Robin, and little sister Mingo."
"Why're the mother and younger sister white? Aren't they black bears?," Malleus asked.
"Oh! It's based on an actual bear which is often called the spirit bear," Sebek said. "They're a subspecies of black bear with a mutation that makes their fur white and it's not even albinism."
Malleus smiled. "I see. Could you let watch me a few episodes?"
Yuu smiled and gave him the phone.

"What have we done?," Sebek asked himself.
It had only been a week and now tons of "Berry" products have been ordered to the dorm. The students were confused at first when they saw their leader proudly wearing a shirt containing the entire black bear family.
"Sebek, I must thank you for showing me such a lovely show," Malleus said. "I never knew I needed it in my life."
Sebek felt both happy and conflicted that the Prince of Briar valley liked what he did. He was conflicted because every fandom has its dark side and he's afraid of Malleus finding out.
Also, the shipping wars are there too.

"So, you want your dorm to go on a field trip to watch "Berry" live?," Dire Crowley asked.
Malleus nodded. "Yes, that is correct."
Crowley sighed. "First my son, now, you."
"Is Yuu going?"
"Yes, your dorm can go as well as long as they all get good grades on the next exam."
-
Malleus cannot put into words at how beautiful the show was. His entire dorm went with him after managing to get decent grades on the exam. Berry Black Bear will always be in his heart.

Meanwhile, Yuu was just very glad Malleus doesn't know how to use the Internet well. Just imagine his reaction to the dark side of the fandom. He shuddered just thinking about it. That man is too innocent.
