Summary
At the start of the chapter, Moriking fully grows into a rhinoceros beetle, however he takes up a human form with his rhinoceros beetle qualities. At first Shoko and Shota are both shocked but Shota quickly accepts him whereas Shoko remains suspicious of him.

Then, Moriking helps Shota get tea leaves from the top of a large shelf, there he shows his one of his special abilities when he walks on the wall.

After serving tea, Moriking tells Shota and Shoko more about himself. He tells them that he is born in the royal city of Megaloconara, and that he was born to lead them as a king. He tells them more about the King of the Forest role and how he has to prove himself to his subjects by surviving in the outside world, therefore he left the forest.

Shota tells Moriking about the pet beetle fight at his school, but Moriking rejects Shota's invite and decides to leave the house suggesting that he will cause trouble for his household, however Shota disagrees and says that he and Moriking will always be family and runs away.

There he shows one of his other special skills, controlling to insects and he wins the battle easily and then he asks that if he can rejoin the family which makes Shota happy and he says yes.
