After restraining the Phantom within him,
a boy named Yuzuru earns the right to become a wizard.
Thus, the White Wizard spirits him away.
Meanwhile, Kizaki discovers the identity of the mysterious Fueki, but then...
He'll be declared missing, then?
Right. Please do.
Is this because he was investigating Fueki...?
All of Kizaki's personal data stored on the server...
It's been deleted.
Ordinarily, I would say this was logically impossible, but...
If someone used magic...
This is all my fault...
It's not your fault, Haruto!
The real issue is that if Fueki...
If the White Wizard is the one who did this...
...Then the question is, why?
Wasn't he on our side?
Is this the crime scene?
Yes. I'll turn it over to you.
Let's get started.
Right.
That white magical bastard...
If he thinks he can get away with kidnapping Yuzuru...
He said something about needing two more wizards, right?
That could mean—
Yuzuru made up his mind not to be a wizard,
and I'm not gonna let him be forced into it!
We've got the Kizaki case too.
We need to find him and figure out what's going on.
Haruto.
I know this dude saved you and all,
but I'm prepared to do whatever it takes to save Yuzuru.
You got that?
Why did you stop me?
Didn't I explain already?
I want to check on something first.
And I got the answer I was looking for!
What?
Anyways, since the white wizard took off with that Gate...
Would you mind finding a new one?
I already have.
I sent Sphinx after him.
Really now?!
Well, hopefully a Phantom is born this time!
Y'know, for Wiseman's sake!
The Wizard Rings contain magical power.
There is a man, a modern-day magic-user,
who wields their power with both his hands,
so that despair may become hope.

Episode 42
The Ringed Novelist
Could you sign this?
Here.
Thank you so much!
Wow, Mr. Saionji is really popular!
We're talking about an author who's been at the top of the charts for 30 years.
I'm proud to even be his editor!
But why only sign books for women?
Couldn't say...
Listen, this man almost never shows his face in public.
So if he's willing to sign just for women...
We should be grateful he was willing to see anyone at all!
Please sign my copy!
Yes?
Oh, nothing...
What name should I sign it to?
It's Kaori!
Kaori, huh?
That'll do.
I didn't need any today...
Better safe than sorry.
I get the feeling that you're going through mana faster than you used to.
Not at all.
Tea's ready...
Where's Nitou?
He ran off, saying he was going to look for Yuzuru.
Does he have any idea where to look?
No... It's probably that he just can't sit still.
I guess he feels responsible for what happened...
He was really mad too.
I can't blame him for rushing.
Good work today, sir. I've got a taxi on its way.
Thank you so much!
Everyone, if you could please step back a bit...
Step back please! Sorry!
Thank you all for coming to the signing!
I should've known it wouldn't be easy...
You're Mr. Saionji, correct?
I have a riddle for you.
What have I come here for?
The signing was supposed to be limited to women only.
I'm afraid that is incorrect.
The correct answer is...
I am here to send you into despair!
A monster!
Now then, let the fear of death take hold of you!
The ring-bearing wizard?
I'm kinda busy right now.
I'd rather not have to deal with another Phantom attack.
You were free to choose not to interfere with me!
DEFEND, PLEASE
WATER DRAGON
BUBBLE BUBBLE BUBBLE, BUBBLE BUBBLE CRASH!
Are you alright? Were you hurt?
W-What in the world is all this?!
We can talk over here!
BIND, PLEASE
COPY, PLEASE
It seems the correct answer is a tactical retreat!
Is it alright if I take a look at those?
Just be sure to turn them back in.
Thank you.
What a mess!
Did you figure anything out?
No...
Hello?
Chief?
There you are.
Nitou...
I gotta ask you something.
Here's your tea.
And a coffee.
Thank you.
Phantoms and Gates...
Sounds like something out of a fantasy story.
Well, they say truth is stranger than fiction.
So you're a wizard and you're going to protect me?
Yes, yes, that's it! Quick to catch on, just what I'd expect from a writer!
It'll all work out fine, if you let Haruto handle it!
Oh yeah...
What is it?
There's actually someone I'd like you to find for me, with magic.
If you're a wizard, it'd be easy, right?
I wish it was. It'd make my life a lot easier.
There's someone I'm trying to find myself...
Well, then what good are you?
Cranky old man, isn't he?
Sphinx...
Oh, what brings you to my humble abode?
Well. How'd it go?
I was in a bit of a hurry,
and had hoped to let the despair of death consume him, but...
There was a bit of interference.
In other words, you failed.
Now, now, no need to be hasty.
Riddles are best solved carefully, savoring the experience...
And, I believe I have discovered a clue.
I will enjoy pondering over the answer...
It's gone... It's gone!
What's wrong?
I can't find the ring!
Your ring?
It was right here!
Where'd it go?!
Where did I drop it?!
At the bookstore?!
H-Hang on, you can't go outside!
Was it really that important?
Of course it is!
It...
It gave me the inspiration to start writing again.
That ring gave me hope.
Hope...
Yeah.
Ten years ago...
I had a bad case of writer's block and couldn't write a word.
Every day felt meaningless...
I didn't know if I had a future.
With that anxiety grasping me...
I eventually started... trying to end my own life.
Hey!
That's my swing!
She seemed so fragile...
My Mom gave me this!
She told me that no matter how worried I got, to think about what I want to be!
And that'd make tomorrow seem like fun!
You can use my swing from now on, okay?!
Her eyes, filled with hope...
They gave me the strength to move forward with my life again.
So that girl...
I've been back to that spot many times to try to return her ring...
But I never saw her again.
If she would just read this book, and realize it was from me...
If I could just see her again...
That's why I've recently started accepting offers for book signings.
I want to return this ring to her...
And tell her how grateful I am.
This book won't truly be finished until I do that!
Are you feeling okay?
I'm fine.
The store's not very busy... You can get some rest, y'know.
The fact that I run out of mana faster...
Everyone's noticed.
The white wizard took Yuzuru by force?
Yeah.
So I need to get him back.
Can you tell me where he is?
That's why you were looking for me...
You'd know where he is, right?
Please.
When he was training me, it was in this strange place...
I don't know how to get back.
I'm sorry.
Transferred to Section Zero?!
Me?
Yup.
Agent Kizaki apparently set it up...
Then he was serious....?
Daimon Rinko!
...Yes?
Would you like to transfer over here?
Really?
What's up? You don't want to go?
No!
I'd be honored to go.
Never imagined someone would headhunt you out from under me...
But, having someone from my department in Section Zero will give me something to brag about!
Don't screw up and embarrass me, you hear?
Yeah, yeah, put a sock in it...
Hello, it's me.
Oh, you...
What?!
Uh, just wait a sec...
Hey, Rinko.
You're moving to Section Zero?!
Seems like it was Kizaki's idea...
I know!
I'll find both Kizaki and Fueki!
Don't do anything crazy.
Seeya.
Where are you going?!
There's a Phantom after you! You need to just stay where it's safe for now!
I know!
I was just going to the bathroom!
Agent Kizaki...
I won't let you down.
I'm not going to stay cooped up for who-knows-how-long!
Sorry for bugging you then.
I want to help you find the white wizard!
If what you said about Yuzuru is the truth, I want answers too!
What is he really after...?
Huh? Nitou...
And... Mayu?
Thank you.
Hey! Sakuma!
There you are!
That was pretty fast!
Huh?
What's with the slippers?
Never mind that, did you really find the ring?!
Yes, the person who delivered it is apparently a big fan of yours...
He was waiting to hand it over in person.
Oh, that's fine!
I'll give him as many autographs as he wants!
That's quite kind of you.
You!
But I would be much happier to have your despair.
Give that ring back!
Then this is yours, truly?
Yeah! It's precious to me!
I see!
If this ring is what gives you strength...
Then allow me to set it alight before your very eyes!
Stop it!
Now pay attention...
Please! Don't do it!
What?!
Sir!
That was a bad move. I know you don't like being cooped up, but your life is at stake.
How'd you know I was here?!
I'm used to dealing with hard-headed Gates. So I had a little birdie keep an eye on you...
We got it!
You again?
I told you I was busy, didn't I?
I think I'll make this quick.
Transform.
SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO TRANSFORM
FLAME DRAGON
BURN… BURN… BURN BURN BURN!
Sir! Your ring!
Thank goodness it's alright!
You think the White Wizard is the culprit in your case?
This guy is sounding like more and more of a bastard...
Hello!
Takigawa Sora...!
CONNECT, PLEASE
DRAGO-TIME

HURRICANE DRAGON

FLAME SLASH STRIKE!
BURN, BURN, BURN!
Your interference is proving to be a difficult riddle to crack.
INFINITY, PLEASE!
FIRE WATER WIND EARTH, BURN BUBBLE BLOW RUMBLE!
We'll meet again.
He got away...
What the hell do you want?!
Don't look so mad!
I just wanted to make you a little offer.
I doubt you have anything we'd want to hear!
That's a shame. And I was hoping I could help you out...
Help?
I was thinking of giving you a little dirt...
About where the White Wizard is...
Well?
That would help, right?
I'm in.
Hey, Nitou, that's—
Don't say it.
Let me handle this.
Oh, welcome!
What is this place?!
Our new hideout!
This is ridiculous!
I want to go home!
I understand how you feel, but you're in danger out there.
Just stay here until we beat the Phantom.
Oh, one of those customers...
I'll go get some tea ready...
Thanks.
Welcome back.
Hey, Koyomi.
Koyomi...?!
Your name... is Koyomi?
Yes...?
It can't be...!
Next time, on Kamen Rider Wizard...
Do you remember me?
Don't touch me!
It seems you're too dangerous after all.
Why are you wizards fighting each other?!
I'm not going to let you break him!
