Rintaro made a surprising entrance to Touma's bookstore by riding a blue lion, he made an apology for doing it because he thought that it was an ethic of people from the normal realm to not enter someone's home with the shoes on. Mei and Touma immediately told Rintaro in panic that it was true but that doesn't mean for him to enter with riding a lion since it was looked weirder. Rintaro in panic called back his lion to return to his Lion Senki Ride Book and tried to confirm Touma and Mei that he wasn't a suspicious person. While Touma and Mei told him that they couldn't believe it, Rintaro immediately explain about Touma's Brave Dragon and Rintaro's mission as the member of Sword of Logos to protect the world and anyone who wielded the power of Wonder Ride Book would have their life in danger. Rintaro begged Touma to hand over his Ride Book and Seiken Swordriver, but Touma refused as he claimed that it was important. Confused and before he would explain the situation again, Rintaro was called to take Touma into their base. Rintaro immediately accept and use Book Gate Wonder Ride Book towards Touma's back door to connect it with the Sword of Logos' base, taking Touma to the base.

In the base, Touma was introduced the current director of the organization, Sophia. Sophia explained to Touma about the current danger of his world was facing because of the evil organization named Megid. Rintaro immediately accepted Touma as a new member because Sophia declared that Touma was deemed worthy to be the successor of Kamen Rider Saber.

Next day, Megid started to make their move and set a new plan so their mission wouldn't be halted. Rintaro and Touma entered the site alongside Mei, forcing herself to join the fray because it seemed to be fun for a live sight. Once they have entered, Rintaro yelled at Mei before he finally showed his form as Kamen Rider Blades, the water swordsman. While Rintaro fought of an army of Ari Megid, the current monsters that making the uproar, Touma and Mei helped with evacuated the civilians until the queen of Ari Megid and Kirigirisu Megid, a mantis Megid which leading the fray appeared. While Touma and Rintaro had the advantage to face them all, they were forced to retreat when Mei was caught in an attack from Kirigirisu Megid.

The wound on Mei wasn't a normal one and to restore it, Kirigirisu must be defeated. But in the current state of the world, Sophia deemed that it might be too late to safe it. Touma refused to accept defeat after remembering that the Megid's job were close to finish and there was still a time, being warned by Sophia that being brave and reckless were two different things, but Touma replied by saying the very similar words of the previous Saber, surprising Sophia and it unlocked a safe which keeping a Ridebook for Saber. Touma and Rintaro returned to the battlefield with Touma used the new Ridebook, Diagospeedy.

In the last fight, Touma hunted the queen of Ari Megid while Rintaro used his Gatrikephone as a ride to hunt the Kirigirisu Megid. Touma succeeded to destroy the queen, but Rintaro got distracted by many of Ari Megid army. During the fight, Touma handed Jackun to Domamenoki to Rintaro as a sign of his target's defeat. Rintaro used the new Ride Book to show Touma on how to use it, destroying the army in a second by scanning the book towards the point of his Suiseiken Nagare. Touma used the book in a different way, accessing the new form of Saber Brave Jack, chasing Kirigirisu with Jack's power created a path with its vine. Touma destroyed Kirigirisu Megid with his Rider Kick, Dragon Wonder, thus restoring the city to its proper state.

Rintaro was happy to have a reliable ally and permitted Touma to call him 'Rintaro-san' as a sign that they were close. Mei came to them and said that she would help by gathering information and scammed Rintaro with a chocolate cake as she noticed that Rintaro wanted to taste it during their first encounter. Just then, a young man suddenly appeared in Touma's bookstore while riding a flying carpet.

"Looks like Touma has decided to keep fighting alongside Rintaro and the others. Suddenly, a young man riding a magic carpet has appeared. This reunion will change Touma's destiny in a big way..."
