After finding a pale naked woman lying on the side of the road, an aloof university student named Mikimoto takes her to a room at the Natural Science Club. Though the girl is unresponsive, Mikimoto finds her eating animals stored in the club as her skin starts becoming less pale. Though still unable to reach through to her, Mikimoto keeps feeding the girl more live animals before she molts out of her old skin. As these events unfold, Gonza finds a stag beetle and begins raising it with Mayuri's help while Raiga and Crow learn of the Horror Lizary which has yet to fully manifest after taking a host body.
