第1話: アガスティア社会におけるモンスター開発部門の拒絶とジェンダーディーフォリア

1

Megistus, the Chief of Staff of the evil secret society known as Agastia, explains how the group's competition is struggling against superheroes of their own. The Monster Development Department comes up with a new monster that looks like an old man wearing a Nessie-like mascot outfit, holding a sword. Kuroitsu is angry at her superior, Doctor Sadamaki, for forcing her to present an underdeveloped proposal to Agastia's board after throwing the idea together at the last minute. Even though Akashic likes the monster, Megistus soon rejects the proposal. Lacking the time and funds to design another one so soon, Kuroitsu is forced to wear the Nessie costume herself in an ill-fated battle. Later, after buying some takeout from Kenji's restaurant, Kuroitsu and Sadamaki are putting the finishing touches on Wolf Bete, a ferocious wolfman who has been training in a virtual environment until his body can be finished. On the day his body is ready, Wolf Bete discovers his body was changed to that of a wolf-girl, at Akashic's last-minute request for a "cute" monster, but his mind is still that of a wolf-man, giving him gender dysphoria. Later that night, Wolf Bete attacks the superhero Divine Swordsman Blader, shown to be Kenji's secret identity, in hopes of earning a big enough reward to get his expected wolf-man body, but ends up in a draw when Kenji's inexperience with women and Wolf Bete's embarrassment at being stripped naked stop them both from fighting.
