An injured Chifuyu sits out in the rain when he hears the purrs of a black cat nearby, who is sheltered in a cardboard box in the pouring rain. He sees a scar on his head and picks him up, calling him a mighty warrior and naming him "Excalibur."

Chifuyu showers with Excalibur
When Chifuyu gets home, his mother berates him for getting into a fight again and coming home drenched. She is surprised to see the cat with him. Moments later, Chifuyu takes a shower with Excalibur to clean his dirty fur, and tells him that he should not worry about his mother because she will give in and let him keep Excalibur in the end. When they exit the shower, Chifuyu grooms Excalibur and shows him his pompadour hairstyle, telling him that he is entering middle school in the following year.
At the dining area with his mother, Chifuyu promises to take care of Excalibur even if she will not help him with it. Chifuyu adds that his father once said to always help anyone in trouble, so he did as such with Excalibur because he is his father's son. It is revealed that Chifuyu's father has already passed, as hinted through a memorial altar with his photograph where he holds an infant Chifuyu, and his mother smiles knowingly. She tells him to change Excalibur's name since it is difficult to spell, but Chifuyu refuses because he finds it cool.
Afterward, Chifuyu feeds Excalibur for the first time and welcomes him into the family.

Excalibur sneaks into Baji's room
One month later, Chifuyu delivers Excalibur his food but he ignores it. Chifuyu observes that he has not eaten anything since yesterday and watches him hop off the balcony before losing sight of him as he sneaks into the flat above. Chifuyu wonders if he is sick and if he had found food somewhere else. Meanwhile, Excalibur springs from one apartment to another until he lands in Keisuke Baji's room. Baji is surprised to see him there and calls him by the name "Peke J." Afterward, he gives him a bowl of cat food and rubs him as he teasingly asks which family he truly belongs to.
Back at the Matsuno home, Chifuyu's mother tells him that she will be greeting the newcomers who had recently resided in a few floors above. Chifuyu hums in acknowledgement as he continues to read the book in his hands.
