Hikari Natsumi calls for the Girls Remix to be reactivated to give Beroba her divine retribution.

A/N: As @tokuteasings published their vent fic about Neon’s circumstance in Geats 29, here’s my vent fic. I would like to thank @narashikari @thehistorynut19 @tokuteasings for helping me brainstorm this idea.

credits to @asknarashikari​ as it was her prompt that gave me this idea. 

credits to @flaim-ita because she helped me figure out how to introduce Kamen Rider Decade to Keiwa. I used and modified her answer to the anon ask she responded to, and yes, the anon was my cousin XD

----------

"Sakura, could you call Narumi-san?" Yukimi called out to her daughter, who was studying by the waiting area.

"Do you want a case to be solved, mama?" Sakura questioned, curious why her mother was asking for a detective.

"Remember the celebrities you kids brought over a while ago?" Yukimi handed her phone to her daughter. "It seems like one of them is a Kamen Rider and I just received this video from someone I don't know."

"Eh, Neon-chan is?"

"What's wrong?" Ikki went out to the waiting area. "You want to speak with Terui-san's wife, Kaa-chan?"

"Ikki-nii, look at this."

Ikki and Sakura watched the video that was on their mother's phone. They're watching an artwork of a chibi woman announcing something about how one Kurama Neon was a product of the Goddess of Creation and how she replaced the deceased Kurama Akari.

"This reminds me of the time when we found out that Tou-chan has Giffu's cells." Ikki commented.

"This is very frustrating!" Sakura exclaimed.

"I'll call Terui-keiji and try to get his wife to come," Ikki volunteered. "I'm leaving this in your care, Sakura."

"Eh?"

"You can do this."

--------

"The Desire Grand Prix is a tournament for Kamen Riders in a bid to wish for their ideal world." A woman in pigtails narrated. "This is the fourth time where a tournament like this was held, the first one was with Kamen Rider Ryuki, The Second Time was with Kamen Rider Gaim, and the third time was with Kamen Rider Ex-Aid."

"Ryuki…" Sakura trailed off. "That seems familiar."

"Kamen Rider Ryuki – Kido Shinji, Kamen Rider Knight – Akiyama Ren, we met them sometime last year." Ikki called out from behind the wall.

"Eh, I don't remember." Sakura blurted out.

"Just don't mind it."

"I thought Kamen Riders are heroes?" Yukimi questioned as she processed the explanation the detective relayed.

"Not all Kamen Riders are heroes, Igarashi-san," Akiko shook her head.

"I also participated in the Desire Grand Prix once." Ikki contributed. "I know some of the Kamen Riders participating there."

"Eh? I don't remember that." Sakura looked at her brother in surprise.

"We met Kido-san and Akiyama-san during that Grand Prix." Ikki offered.

"Really?"

"Part of the Desire Grand Prix's operation is to erase the memories of everyone not involved in the Grand Prix but were caught in a crossfire."

"You won, didn't you, Ikki?" Yukimi looked at her son before she caressed her son's face.

Ikki nodded. "It's how I remember Vice."

"Since we're all involved with Kamen Riders, I don't think I will keep this a secret from you all," Akiko smiled. "I know why you called me here, Sakura-chan, it's about Neon-chan, isn't it?"

"How?"

"Apart from my reputable source, there's someone who takes pride in all-female Kamen Riders and she definitely did not like how Neon-chan was treated currently, she can't confront everyone involved on her own so she contacted everyone who she thought would best deal with the situation.

"Sakura!" Hana got inside the Igarashi's waiting area, out of breath, followed by an equally frazzled Daiji and Tamaki.

"You got a video about Neon-chan too?"

"If Hana-sama wants to help, I wa-"

"Let's leave this to them, Tamaki." Ikki swung his arms around the younger male.

"Sakura and the others can handle this." Daiji affirmed his brother's statement.

---------

Keiwa was sitting in his cell. Due to Ace's previous rampage, Michinaga postponed the third round of the game, which meant he stayed in the cell for the night.

He didn't know why, but Beroba and the others did not take his phone away, which meant he was also able to inform his sister that he won't be able to make it home for the night.

"Keiwa-kun, are you okay?"

"Eh? I-Igarashi-san?" Keiwa was surprised to see the other man outside his cell. "W-what are you doing here?"

"To get you out of here, of course."

"Y-you-"

"I don't know what Ace wrote on my desire card, but I didn't forget about the DGP."

"Neon-chan!"

"Don't worry about Neon-chan," Ikki smiled. "Now I need you to stand back for a bit."

Keiwa nodded as Ikki brandished a neon blue axe and pressed the Rex Vistamp on its stamp pad and hacked on the cell, cutting the cell's bars into pieces and created an opening for him to go through.

"We need to stay here until my sister arrives."

"Third Round of the Bullfighting Game starts." Beroba's voice could be heard in the room as a holographic screen graced Keiwa's and Ikki's presence. "Naa-go Vs. Rook. Fight!"

Neon was seen on the screen entering the battlefield and she was immediately attacked as soon as she stepped foot into the arena.

"Neon-chan."

Before Keiwa could even react two chains suddenly sprouted from the ground and restrained the attacking Jamato as the space behind Neon becomes distorted.

"So as we wait for Daiji and the others, here's a bento, my mom made it for you." Ikki handed Keiwa a bento, to which Keiwa bowed in gratitude.

"Thank you."

"Mom also insisted that we bring you a change of clothes." Ikki handed Keiwa a bag of clothes.

"You really didn't have to, getting me out of the cell was help enough."

"Don't mention it, mom wanted to be prepared in case things weren't favorable to you."

---------

"Chain Now."

"King Cobra."

"Queen Bee."

"Invincible Je-je-jeanne!"

"Aaaah – Aguilera!"

Blue and Orange streaks started attacking the restrained Jamato and none of them let up until the new Blue-Orange entity kicked the Jamato in the air.

A number of golden bees swarmed the Rook Jamato before it was blown away to a nearby wall from the explosion the swarm generated.

"Chain Now."

Another set of ice chains

"What's going on?!" Beroba demanded as the Jamato struggled to get up from the attack it just endured.

But a smirk appeared on the supporter's face.

Unbeknownst to the attackers, there was another enemy, it may have been discovered by Tycoon and Geats, but Beroba doubted that the latter was able to inform Naa-go about it.

Suddenly behind the Blue-Orange, Gold-Blue, and White-Orange attackers, another Jamato phased through the floor in an attempt to wound Neon as she stood behind her saviors.

"Not on my watch!" Another person, this time someone wearing brown with red accents with an orange helmet stepped in front of Neon and placed her hand on her belt.

"Barrier Now!"

An intricately-patterned barrier appeared in front of the warrior and defended both Neon and herself from the Jamato.

The Blue-Orange warrior used the dreadlocks on their helmet and bound the Jamato with it and threw it towards the other Jamato that they just defeated.

"Why yo-"

"Blizzard now." The warrior with the orange helmet froze the two Jamato together, rendering both immobile.

A zipper appeared above Michinaga and Daichi, as they were about to attack the invading force, released vines that bound both men in mid-air.

"Wha-" Beroba immediately retrieved her Laser Raise Riser but another tendril of vine stopped her from equipping her Laser Raise Riser with her Rise Cartridge." Jamato? How?!"

"These are not your Jamatos, these are Helheim's plants."

The grip the vines had on Beroba's hands tightened forcing her to drop her weapon and transformation trinkets as a woman in white with yellow hair descended from the open zipper the vines came from.

"Noroshi Muchuu!"

Smoke enveloped Neon and before anyone could react, she was suddenly in front of Beroba with another warrior wearing brown and gold armor.

"What are you going to do, Kurama Neon-chan?" Beroba taunted. "No, Kurama Akari Nigou-chan?"

A resounding slap echoed through the arena.

Beroba wasn't facing Neon anymore as the force of the slap forced her to look to the side.

"How dare you?" Neon's voice whimpered as she struggled to hold back her tears. "How dare you tell that story on Akari-chan's birthday, on my birthday!" She yelled.

"I live for the people's suffering, bleh." Beroba stuck out her tongue, proud of what she just said.

"Right, We're all just entertainment for you," Neon took a deep breath and turned her back on the woman responsible for everything that had gone wrong. "Berobaa-san."

"How da- How dare you call me that?!" Beroba's lost her composure as she struggled against her restraints. "You, you, you person! You were only created by the goddess's power!"

"The future must be full of dumb people, no offense to the other supporters." Neon continued her spiel ignoring the ballistic woman, struggling against the vines that restrained her.

"Do not ignore me you fake!" Beroba continued to struggle against her bonds.

"How come Neon-chan?" The blonde woman in white asked as she smiled at the youngest woman in the group as flicked her wrists and tightened her hold on the captives.

"If the time they came from is our future then that would mean that destroying our present would erase their time," Neon as she faced the three people in the Jamato faction. "That also means that you both are dumb Michinaga, Isuzu."

"Do not ignore memphfff"

Vines sprouted from Beroba's restraints and gagged the already-restrained woman leaving only aggressive sounds from her.

Michinaga clicked his tongue.

"I'm smarter than you'll ever be, spoilt fake princess." Daichi retorted

"My existence may be a fake, but I still made my life, what about you, Isuzu?" Neon smiled sweetly. "You never figured out that I was the Dezastar."

"What has got that outdated game have to do with this?"

"That you may think you're smart but you're actually dumb," Neon shrugged. "You know who did figure it out? It was the person who you framed in the very first round."

"No, that's impossible!"

"Unlike you, Keiwa observed and worked with every information he got," Neon smiled. "Which means he's a lot smarter than you."

"He got it wrong the first ti-."

"Sae-san was covering for me." Neon cut off Daichi's sentence. "That and he figured it out because he actually knew me, knew Ace and me for him to be confident in his deduction, which you wouldn't have figured out because all you got were superficial information.

"Are you telling me, friendship made him able to figure it out? Don't make me laugh!"

"I didn't really think someone dumb like you could ever understand."

"Du-"

Vines covered Daichi's mouth, muffling his next words.

"Who cares if it's your future, it's still free entertainment." Beroba giggled.

The woman in white raised an eyebrow at the remains of the vines that were used to gag her.

"Looks like I was right, you are indeed dumb, Berobaa-san." Neon smiled.

Beroba glared at Neon but she didn't explode as she did earlier.

"She has a point." The ethereal woman agreed as she chuckled at how humorously dull the woman was. "Well, maybe not as dumb as the scientist who wanted to destroy the universe without thinking that he'd be destroyed alongside it."

"Aah! That's right!" The Blue-Orange and White-Orange warriors pointed at each other as they figured out what Neon was talking about.

"Indeed," The Blue-Gold warrior nodded.

"This has gone on long enough." The brown warrior slammed the hilt of her sword onto each of the enemy's necks, knocking them unconscious.

Well except for one.

"Don't tell me."

"Yes, we are all Kamen Riders here." Everyone de-transformed out of their Rider suits and revealed their identities to everyone present, well revealed their physical appearance to everyone.

"Well not all of us," The ethereal woman chirped in.

"Eh, close enough, Mai-chan." Another woman walked out of the distorted space below. "You are Kouta-kun's equivalent after all and he's Kamen Rider Gaim."

"Why thank you, Natsumi-chan." The woman – Mai – expressed her gratitude for the praise.

"Tch." Michinaga clicked his tongue once more.

"Get this over with," He growled.

"There is still a chance, Michinaga." Neon offered.

Michinaga used all of his strength to roll his sleeve up and show everyone the moss and grass that grew on his hand.

"Whatever chance you're talking about, doesn't exist," Michinaga growled. "I only live solely to destroy every Kamen Rider."

"Good luck with that." The woman who just exited the distorted space before it fizzled out of existence laughed.

"I must agree."

"Tch."

----------

"Enjoying ourselves?"

The space in the hallway distorted and out came a man in Magenta followed by people in blue carrying guns.

"They're clever, installing a barrier to prevent anyone from entering." The man in pink hummed. "How you got here before us, Revi, is a mystery."

"I asked Natsumi-san the entrance to this place and waited for Neon-chan to get inside." Ikki informed." I timed my entrance with Neon-chan's so that I could get in."

"That's why Live mentioned you immediately ran off."

"Thank you for helping us save Keiwa, Kadoya."

"Think nothing of it, Revi." The man – Kadoya shook his head. "It was a favor from Natsumikan." He casually pointed at the woman who exited the distorted space on the screen.

"Mou nii-chan, you didn't have to rush here, we would have gotten here eventually."

"I know, but someone needed my help." Ikki rubbed the back of his neck.

"Well that's how you are nii-chan, I guess it couldn't be helped."

"There's still some time before the ladies will be done with Beroba, Nadge-Sparrow, and Buffa." Kadoya announced. "You can have your men do some routine check-ups on Tycoon, Live."

Daiji merely nodded before gesturing for one of his men to check on Keiwa.

"Ano, what did they mean about 'Good Luck' when Michinaga stated his sole reason to live?" Keiwa couldn't help but ask as he was ordered to remove his shirt, revealing some untreated bruises he got when he fought in the first round and lost to cheaters.

Kadoya scoffed as he watched the girls give Neon some comforting hugs on screen.

"The last time a Rider tried to kill all others was me," He gave wistful smile. "It took months, with far less of us."

Keiwa looked at Kadoya with a look of abject horror, inching slightly backward from the man in pink.

He then stared at Ikki, as if prompting the man to explain himself.

"He got better?" Ikki offered, still not sure of the stories he heard from the other Kamen Riders he had met, least of all Kadoya himself.

"Who are you?" Keiwa couldn't help but ask as he gulped saliva.

"Depends on what you want from me." Kadoya hummed as he snapped a photo of the rescued man's distressed state.

"A name would be nice."

The man looked Keiwa in the eyes.

"Kadoya Tsukasa," The man in magenta – Kadoya Tsukasa, said. "I'm just a passing through Kamen Rider… and destroyer of worlds."

Keiwa could only gulp as he realized how much of a folly Michinaga's wish was.

"Don't worry about it, like nii-chan said, he got better." Daiji offered, even when he shared his brother's feelings about Kadoya.

----------

Natsumi, Akiko, Mai, Mayu, Yaiba, Reika, Sakura, Hana, and Neon were at the lounge area of the Igarashi's bath house, enjoying their time together. They were wearing the bathhouse's yukatas and drinking milk.

"You know had Natsumi-san not contacted me, I wouldn't have known that there's another Rider Battle tournament going on." Mai, who now has black hair and is dressed in a simple shirt and blue hoodie, stated. "Even if I don't really consider what happened in Zawame as a Rider Battle."

"So, Kamen Rider…" Neon trailed off. "They have always existed?"

"Since the 70s," Natsumi answered. "At least in this world."

"In this world?" Sakura asked.

"Parallel Worlds," Akiko offered. "Not that my source really knows a lot about it, every time we are presented with options there is a world where we chose the other option."

"That makes sense, the Gaia Library wouldn't have that much information about other worlds."

"Gaia library?" Reika questioned. "Is that like the libraries we have at the Sword of Logos?"

"Close," Natsumi answered. "However I won't be saying much, people would kill for access to that information."

"Understandable." Reika nodded.

"So there is a world where I was sacrificed for Giff." Hana hummed to herself.

"Or a world where I became like my nee-san." Mayu stated off-handedly.

"I find that not thinking of our parallel selves is beneficial for all of us," Akiko offered. "After all we are living our lives in the present."

"That's why you don't have to pay attention to the words of the people in the future," Natsumi looked Neon in the eyes. "No matter what they say, you are a Kamen Rider, you deserve to be one."

"You've visited that time period, haven't you, Natsumi-san?"

"Yes and it wasn't pretty," Natsumi shook her head. "I would even say it's worse than the world where Sougo-kun was Ohma Zi-O" He sighed. "The reason I was even aware of what was happening in the first place was that I was there when Beroba made the announcement."

"That bad, huh?" Akiko commented.

"Sougo-kun… You mean Tsukuyomi-san's friend?" Sakura asked.

"It's better if we don't think that far away, ourselves," Yukimi stated. "We just focus on the now and live our lives in the present."

"Are you a Kamen Rider too, Igarashi-san?" Neon couldn't help but ask the mother of the group.

"No, I am a proud wife and mother of Kamen Riders, and that's enough for me."

"Don't let her fool you!" Sakura responded almost immediately. "Mama is strong!"

Everyone just laughed at the outburst.

As everyone continued to enjoy their time Kyuun was outside the Igarashi bathhouse, eavesdropping on the conversation that happened as he looked at his Laser Raise Riser before walking away.

[tokuteasings]

Why do I feel like that Kamen Rider Girls Remix answers was merciful as it was only Sophia and Mayu going after Beroba? I feel like any other others would be just as dangerous! You know Sakura would take it as an excuse to Rider Kick the door in; not to be dramatic, just because she would be that angry.

Also let’s be real here: Beroba was trying to take away Neon’s hope. You honestly think Haruto would try and stop Mayu in this case? He’d probably give her the infinity ring just in case she wants to use it.

Oh yeah for sure. Like if it was Sakura, she's burning the entire place down with Lovekov running over every single Jyamato in the way. If anything, the entire Igarashi fam would be up in arms, Hana too.

Oh Haruto would stop Mayu from killing someone, yes, but stopping her from beating someone's ass in? No. But seeing as Beroba had pissed off Mayu and literally all of the Wizard cast? Nah. Like you said, he's handing her the Infinity Ring and telling her, "Go ham." and Mayu does.

Wizard Cast, including the Mages, react to being shown this clip. https://www.tiktok.com/@tokuft._/video/7263757234608426248

With Tsukasa saying this at the end of the clip viewing. Tsukasa: And after that they do not remember their knowledge of that other universe.

Haruto: *drops plain sugar doughnut in shock* What the fuck.

Kousuke: Oh hey, it's me! Wait, why don't I remember that...

Rinko: I think I lost brain cells watching this...

Shunpei: It's not that confusing... *squints* Okay, maybe it is...

Mayu: I don't know what to say because this is my sister... kinda...

[boltcreature]

Mayu is one of my fave side characters in Kamen Rider. Its a shame the suit is so ugly... I'm sorry Mayu, its the paper bag brown under suit.

[mangolon]

With there already being numerous female third Riders, Majade being the first female Secondary, and Revice already being pitched as having one of the two main Riders being a girl, it's only a matter of time until we get a female main Rider.

[vaguedoctor]

I have to rewatch Wizard, but in the meantime...

[dasha-through-the-snow]

Few slight corrections

Ichimonji is NOT a first secondary, as he was treated as a primary Rider within the show itself, meant to replace Hongo after the accident on set. Hongo later returned and they were treated as equals within the show.

Riderman is TECHNICALLY the first Secondary Rider, however, again, within the larger Showa Rider era there was NO Secondary Rider position, so he's treated as just another Showa era Rider

So that would technically make G3 the actual first ever Second Rider.

While Femme is technically the first female Rider, she's a movie-exclusive character and early Heisei-era movies are only dubiously canon.

Technically the first truly canon female Rider would be Kamen Rider Kivala, with Natsumi being a proper member of the Decade cast. But her Rider appearances are strictly confined to the movies again.

Which would make the first female Rider with multiple appearances and henshins within the show proper... Mayu Inamori, Kamen Rider Mage.

The first female Rider to have multiple forms and to have received a proper Final Form is Kamen Rider Valkyrie, by the way

Also, Ryuki is also technically card-based and predates Blade

Firsts in Rider - Inspired by the tweet claiming that Majed is the first female secondary rider.

Rider - Hongou Takeshi, Kamen Rider Ichigo

Secondary Rider - Ichimonji Hayato, Kamen Rider Nigo

Female transforming Hero - Misaki Yuriko, Denpa Ningen Tackle

Cat Rider - Kurama Neon, Kamen Rider Na-Go

Buffalo Rider - Sakurai Yuuto, Kamen Rider Zeronos

Bat Rider - Akiyama Ren, Kamen Rider Knight

Dragon Rider - Kido Shinji, Kamen Rider Ryuki

Card-Based Rider - Kamen Rider Blade (series)

Rider war - Kamen Rider Ryuki (series)

Non-insect Based Rider - Kamen Rider Ryuki (series)

Female Secondary Rider - Kudo Rinne, Kamen Rider Majed

i’m able to draw again! here is mayu as wizard from atla’s wonderful au edit sie made in fuckin. 2014. that somehow inspired me to draw today. mayu deserved better. i’m not over it.

[jade-lop]

[eclipse-song]

Mayu is still my favourite female rider in Kamen Rider. Her story gets me  really emotional

[tokuteasings]

KR Wizard HCs:

Nitoh's Mayonnaise obsession just manifested recently.

Because of Kimaira, Nitoh has lost his sense of taste, and the only thing left was his mouth's sense of touch and he can imagine the mayonnaise's flavor if he puts it in his food.

Yamamoto never transformed again after Nitoh retook his mantle as Kamen Rider Beast.

He also knew that he would need the driver and rings sooner or later.

With the support of his wife, he continues to train with Haruto and sometimes Nitoh and Mayu so that he won't get rusty.

And there won't be a repeat of what happened with the artificial Phantoms.

Shunpei now makes the magic rings. Mayu is the one giving him the magic stones that he would fashion into rings. So far he has outfitted the three KR Mages of the rings he has created.

With varying levels of success.

[Really the worst of it was the Dress Up ring forcing them into a set of clothes instead of the clothes they imagined wearing]

[The less said about the type of clothes they're forced to wear as, the better]

Speaking of rings, Yamamoto has gotten more use with his magic by caring for his child than in battle, despite the mages and wizard's magic being so battle oriented.

Because he's used to making creative decisions for his magic and take care of his children, he's gotten more strategic and creative use of magic in battle.

He once used the earth rings to make a mini patch of sand in his backyard for his child to play with.

He has even used the wind rings to safely carry his child to the ground after falling from a high place.

These creative uses are then relayed to mayu for her to practice with and use in battle.

When a big battle comes around, and Mayu's the only one fighting, he helps everyone by making a strategy.

Among the mages, only Yuzuru has access to Nitoh's animal rings.

and all the animal rings he has are for three things, defend, attack, and escape.

Yuzuru and Nitoh rotate the rings that they would use between them.

the hope ring inside of Haruto has unknown power.

One time when things really got dire, the hope ring exited Haruto's body and gave Shunpei and Rinko access to their powers in another world, as kamen rider orange mage.

This gave both of them the magic rings their other world counterparts have.

now this? this is fucking great. im so despate for wizard content THIS IS SO GOOD

Tatakau! Shoten Girl (2015) Ep 1

Riko Nishioka (Izumi Inamori) is a 40 year old supervisor who came from a middle income family who worked her way up from being a part timer during her school years in her 20s to a full timer. She takes pride in having years of experience in running the bookstore, her employees and understanding the customers and authors, establishing good relations with suppliers.

Kitamura Aki (Mayu Watanabe) is a 23 year old who came from a rich family and grand-daughter of a prominent business figure. She is an ambitious over-achiever who despite her right intentions in wanting to increase book sales, her freewheeling attitude in disregarding her colleague’s feelings and the bookstore’s long year tradition of doing things proves problematic.

Kitamura proposed a book signing event with a rising author who is expected to become a bestseller. While the management approves of the event seeing how profitable it might be, the employees are disgruntled over the tight schedule due to existing events and complained to Riko, who summoned Kitamura to urge caution in asking others to do her bidding.

A clash of management style of the old and the new, which makes you wonder which style is better, depending on the circumstances. 

While Kitamura thinks that she had no choice due to limited time to get their consensus, Riko thinks that the employees morale is equally important as you can’t fight battles with weary soldiers and happy workers are productive workers.

And unlike Kitamura who lives alone and single, most of the employees have family obligations to fulfil and so might struggle to commit the long hours required to prepare for the last minute event taking place in three days.

This drama proves that often times, the things that make a job difficult is not the job itself but the people. As everyone has their own baggage and motivators, different way of doing things, and you can’t simply expect others to fall in line immediately every time an order is given out like in the military. 

I really respect Riko in being able to pull herself together and her employees, despite the drastic measures taken by Kitamura. Even when Riko is struggling with her life problems, she set is aside at work, trying her best to support Kitamura in any way she can, even though her values contradict with hers.

I can see why Riko is a supervisor, she struggles to meet the needs of both her customers and employees under her care.

Going off the theory that all magic users in Wizard have some sort of weird affinity for food, I tried to imagine what some of the mages and Wiseman’s cravings would be like

Mayu Inamori: Milkshakes. Strawberry and banana, to be exact. Or, something with more of an acquired taste like cold soba.

Yuzuru: Kebabs. Since he seems to go camping with Beast to capture Chimera, I imagine he actually really loves chowing down on beef.

Yamamoto: Probably because he’s green, but I can really imagine him loving something like broccoli. Always wants it to be a part of his dish and encourages his child to eat vegetables if they want to grow strong.

Wiseman: Plain cakes. Much like Haruto, he enjoys his sweets plain, and it’s something that goes against the exquisite sort of life he appears to have from what we see of his home and his attire. Or, it’s something super unlike him, such as ice cream — something so simple and casual that you wouldn’t expect an uptight wizard like him to enjoy.
