Baku once again transforms into Zeztz within the dream. As he grabbed the Wonder Capsem to protect Atsumi from the Mold Nightmare...!?

Plot[]

Continuing directly from the previous episode, Nox warned Zeztz once more to drop this mission of him, but Zeztz accuses Nox that he's actually scared to have the national secret to be retrieved. After Mold Nightmare briefly attacks the rider, Nox simply commented that the incovenient truth will lead him into the darkness before the dream world goes dark, signalling the end of Atsumi's dream. With Nox and Mold Nightmare retreating, Baku only had little time before Atsumi wakes up. And to make things worse, Fujimi repeatedly presses Atsumi's doorbell to wake him up as Sun Rises, thus forcing Baku to wake up from the lucid dream.

After Atsumi Taro granted both Fujimi and Nasuka audience, Fujimi spares no time to interrogate the philanthropist by first inquiring him about his meeting with Odaka Kensei, evidenced by the SNS chat of him and the account 'Night'. While Atsumi is willing to cooperate, he requested Fujimi to disclose his secret as a term of Intel Exchange. Fujimi then revealed that Odaka is a former member of Paranormal Affairs Division, before Atsumi revealed that there is a hidden Mystery Code embedded within the three stolen paintings. As Fujimi and Atsumi continues their intel Exchange session, Nasuka ended up contacting Baku and disclosed that Fujimi is currently interrogating Atsumi in real life for six hours. Baku then suggested to leave Atsumi's intel to him, as he can search for it within Atsumi's subconscious mind. While Nasuka is still skeptical about the dream world, Baku vehemently insisted that it was all real, as he claimed that Atsumi's subconscious most likely hide a desire that not even Atsumi himself would have known.

Baku then goes to CODE HQ, and proceed to inform Zero about Odaka Kensei, the man who is once a member of Paranormal Affairs Division that goes missing a year ago, and the one who donated all three paintings that hid a national secret now is known as Nox, the Agent who is orchestrating Nightmare invasions in dream world. Zero quickly, and correctly assumed that Nox is also the one who stole Esprim Recovery Capsem from Baku, which the agent affirmed. Baku added that in the dream world, Mold Nightmare had destroyed all three paintings. As a result, Baku become pessimistic about his mission completion since he wanted to protect Atsumi's dream. This time, Zero sternly berates Baku that he's about to become agent, so he cannot give up that easily. Zero added that since the Nightmare is yet to enter the real world, they still have time to retrieve the national secret until midnight. This statement roused Baku suspicion, as he proceed to question Zero about the National Secret content, as Zero seemed to held it with utmost importance. Zero promptly end the discussion by saying that if Baku happened to know the content, it'll put him into a great risk (which Zero tries his best to avoid), and instructed Baku to fulfill his mission for now.

Not long after, Baku had arrived at Atsumi Taro residence, and it's shown that Fujimi's interrogation is still up and running, since both party had drink a questionable amount of energy drinks to stay awake, much to Nasuka's chagrin. Once Baku enters the scene, Baku introduced himself as the housekeeper number Seven from Atsumi's Dream World. Now that Atsumi remembered his alter ego, Baku immediately apologizes for letting the three painting that Atsumi desires in the dream world get corrupted by Mold Nightmare, despite him recalling Atsumi's word about Art as something eternal. In the sadness that follows, Atsumi confesses =

The Three Anemone Flower Paintings that he drawn is the answer of his desperation as an Artist himself, who cannot sell his own original painting. However, Atsumi admitted that ultimately, those drawing is a simple Counterfeits, as the original paintings are indeniably lost over time. One day, Odaka Kensei approached Atsumi and proceeded to commision all three counterfeit paintings, but ultimately decides to donate all of it to Art Museums. While this did answer Fujimi's initial question about Atsumi's connection with Odaka, Fujimi is yet to successfully dig more info about the timeline when those two met. As the scene briefly shifted to CODE HQ, Zero murmured that no matter what happened, the National secret must be protected at all cost.

Night soons dawned on the real world, with Fujimi inquires Atsumi about the content of National Secret hidden within those paintings. Predictably, at this point, Atsumi had become intoxicated by those energy drinks and starts brambling nonsense before fell into deep sleep at the couch. Unexpectedly, just as Fujimi is about to try waking him up, a Mold structure actually starts to form on Atsumi's hand and neck! The scene briefly shifted to Atsumi's final mind door, who is now shaking violently as the keyhole revealed that Atsumi himself starts to rot due to Mold Nightmare attack. Knowing that Mold Nightmare is on the move again, Baku decides to rush home to lucid dreaming into Atsumi's dream as soon as possible. However, Minami Unexpectedly barges in, wondering what did Baku actually up to nowadays. Baku slightly discloses to his sister that he's about to retrieve a National Secret in the dream world, which Minami took it as another of Baku's nonsense. Unexpectedly, Minami started to become curious about Baku's closet and about to open it, although ultimately she decides to not pry further for now, and left Baku who is now sleeping hard.

With Baku successfully entered Atsumi's dream world once more, Nem and Zero quickly met him, with Nem reporting that the three paintings did get stolen once more despite the Barrier formed last night. Zero surmisses that Nox must have found him and ordered Baku to search for the rogue agent to fulfill his mission. However, this time Baku refuses to do so despite Zero pressing him. Baku argues that defeating the Nightmare and saving the dreamer is his first priority before anything else, before Baku departed to do just that. Meanwhile, Nox is shown at an abandoned parking lot with the three rotted paintings. He proceeded to pour a special blue liquid on all of them, before a laser scanned those paintings and generated a trio of metallic Anemone Flower, ultimately granting him access to a peculiar subspace. Nox looked around at the room and praises Atsumi's mindscape for his capability to bring a remembrance of reality into the dream world, thanks to his subconscious desire that genuinely loves Art. Ultimately, Nox eyes are locked on a silver briefcase on top of a table, ignoring the Top Secret Documents that laid beside it...

Meanwhile, as Atsumi started to rot in the dream world thanks to Mold Nightmare ability, Baku arrived just in time. Baku then announced his updated mission that he granted onto Himself = Get back the national secret and the dreamer.（国家機密と夢主を奪還せよ。） before he transforms into Zeztz Esprim Barrier to combat the invasive Nightmare. While Zeztz temporarily halt the Mold infection by putting a barrier on Atsumi, Mold Nightmare arrogantly exclaimed that it's too late for the agent to stop the infection, and that there's no one who can completely eradicate a mold. Zeztz retorted that once he defeats Mold Nightmare, the mold will be completely gone. This prompted Mold Nightmare to unleash his ability, which is to shrink to a diminutive size. As a result, Zeztz had a hard time to pinpoint Mold Nightmare location.

Fortunately, Zeztz found a solution by gambling on a mysterious power, prompting the rider to use Paradigm Wonder Capsem to access Zeztz Paradigm Wonder form. Using the capsem ability to manipulate reality, Zeztz shrinks himself into the same size as Mold Nightmare, minus the Breakam Zeztzer Scythe mode (initially). The battle continues on the Breakam Zeztzer handle before Zeztz decides to shrink the Scythe as well using the power of Paradigm Wonder Capsem. Now armed and ready, the Wonderland-esque battle between Zeztz and Mold Nightmare resumes with Zeztz gaining an upper hand. Although the impact of the battle allows a water pot to spray on to the Mold Nightmare, triggering his final gambit.

With his back against the wall, Mold Nightmare announced that he’ll shrink to microscopic size and propagates himself using the water droplets to realize Atsumi's nightmare. After he did just that, Zeztz retaliates by using Paradigm Wonder Capsem ability to shrink himself to microscopic size as well and confronted Mold Nightmare, who is now shown to begin multiplying due to the damp environment. Witnessing this, Mold Nightmare voiced his disbelief that a human can do that kind of feat, only for Zeztz to reiterates that he can do this because of the power of the Dream World. Zeztz then proceed to destroy the Mold Nightmare Colony by first using the Technocolom Projection Capsem to create energy copies of his Breakam Zeztzer Scythe mode to attack each clone, before using Wonder Banish Finisher on the Mold Nightmare, effectively ending the Nightmare's nefarious plan and curing Atsumi from his Mold infection, as noticed by both Fujimi and Nasuka.

Once he emerges victorious, Baku hurriedly goes to Nem and Zero to report that he had eliminated the Nightmare & saved Atsumi Taro in process. While Nem congratulates Seven for his success once more, Zero bitterly lamented that they failed to retrieve the National Secret. Fortunately, Baku did have a contingency plan in the form of the Zeztz Sensor. It's revealed that before Baku left Atsumi's dream world on the first night, he uses his sensor specifically to track Nox's movements. Zeztz Sensor ultimately led the trio to the Subspace where Nox found the briefcase, with Baku finding out that not only do the National Secret (Top Secret Documents) remain untouched, but also a mind map board involving several locations. Knowing this, Zero admitted that Baku did an outstanding job as an agent, and Baku announced that his mission is completed.

The episode ends with Nox, who is currently at a rooftop in the Dream World, along with the briefcase he obtained earlier in the national secret's subspace. Nox immediately opened the said suitcase, revealing a corroded Knight Invoker and Erase Capsem inside. Then, using the Recovery Capsem, Nox successfully repaired the device and Capsem, before exclaiming “it's time for him to get his revenge.”
