The story begins in the moment Risu released Noi from the her cage and her healing magic triggered, healing both her body and Risu's head, now detached from his mechanical vessel and regenerating his whole body.

Fujita believes his partner didn't show up yet because she is near and tells her to go away, next to them is Risu buying a "Surprise Bag" from the same gift shop and going as far as he can from everyone to get dressed. The bag is surprisingly cheap for what it comes with, a complete wardrobe with sneakers and a mask, while thinking how lucky he was to have his body back thanks to Noi's magic, he still ask why a Cross-Eyes whould kill him, and wonders if Aikawa found a partner by now. He crosses paths with Kaiman and the crew from Restaurant Tanba, both him and the lizard head look at each other, like they knew who are they, and Tanba quickly shouts at him to hurry up.
Back in the mansion Noi appears agitated in the Hall asking where Shin is while En is transforming every single Magic User that approach to him or Kikurage into mushrooms, Chota is sit in a couch pointing out how quickly they rivals are shrinking, she ask the bird mask where her partner is, En tells her that is already the second day of the festival and she have to hurry up and find him.

Pointing out how in a bad mood En is, he explains how stressful everything is, with the news about the sorcerer with time abilities, Risu's disappearance and the man in the lizard mouth that Ebisu told him. A goon appears with the salvaged pictures from the camera footage in the smoke store and En recognizes the killer, the same woman that tried to kidnap Risu and mauled his face, he creates a doll using his magic while explains that wherever one of his mushroom grew, another can grow again, putting a mushroom inside the doll, in the Black House, Asu laments how trapped Nikaido is right now.
