Despite urging to get back at Haruto, Phoenix is warned by Medusa to not confront him yet, as he has not fully recovered already. Soon after Haruto leaves the shop on patrol, operatives of National Security Bureau Section Zero barge in and take Wajima into custody. As Kizaki shows Wajima a Magic Stone, demanding him to make a Wizard Ring with it, Haruto saves a boy called Naoki from being attacked by the Phantom Gargoyle and learns from him that he traveled to from Akita to Tokyo, and he refuses to return home until accomplishing what he came to do.
