Episode 2

The Path to Becoming a Cosmonaut is the 2nd episode of Tsuki to Laika to Nosferatu anime series.

Synopsis
Lev is training Irina with cosmonaut training that even the elites think as no easy feat.

Plot
Lev knocks on Irina's room and says it's training time. He tells Irina to take her necklace off and that she has to do that everywhere they go. Lev, Irina, and Anya head off to their destination. Lev and Irina will train by running 12 times around the training track while Anya observes them with a stopwatch. Irina starts off their warm-up with a sprint and Lev reminds her that they are training, not racing. She tells him that humans are just slow and starts to run even faster. Lev catches up with her and tries to run ahead of her. He turns his back to Irina and sees her fangs and hair grow longer. They soon finished their warm-up with Anya telling them it was too much for a warm-up. Anya and Lev are relieved that Irina can keep up with Lev which means she can fill in for a candidate. However, Lev is also worried that her competitiveness might pose a problem. Whereas Anya on the other hand finds Irina's body intriguing. The three are now in the exam room for Irina's physical exam. Lev leaves it to Anya while he'll be monitoring behind the curtains. Irina doesn't agree with Lev staying and insists he leaves. Lev stays outside the room while Anya proceeds with Irina's physical exam.
