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. As Raiga arrives with Crow and Mayuri at the site where Lizary emerged into their world, the same place Mikimoto found the strange girl, Mikimoto is visited by his friend who expresses worry for his odd behavior before realizing he has a girl in the club room. After seeing his friend opening the closet, Mikimoto watches the man get killed by the girl before witnessing her enter a pupal state. By the time the Makai Knights and Mayuri arrive at the club room, Mikimoto and the cocoon are gone. Raiga investigates the closet and is horrified by what he sees. The Makai Knights eventually find Mikimoto as he caresses the woman once she emerges from his cocoon, asking her to eat him alive, before it is revealed that he is the host of Lizary. Mayuri uses her powers to awaken Mikimoto's surpressed memories of having raped and killed the girl whose corpse became the Inga Gate that Lizary emerged from. From there, killing more girls for nourishment and then his friend when he found his victims' corpses in the closet, Mikimoto became unaware of his true actions due to the Horror altering his host's perception. Now fully awoken, Lizary offends Raiga with his ideals of human life before assuming his true form. Raiga and Crow don their Makai Armor and soon dispatch Lizary together. Soon after, Gonza discovers that the stag beetle has died, and becomes somewhat distraught. Mayuri tak
