He wishes to reveal the identities of the Phantomirage and with that news in mind, he is certain the news article will be on the front of the newspaper. As he declares this information to fellow classmates, Kokomi Sakurai and Saki Asumi, he states the two have resemblance to the two Phantomirage which make them immediately turn around.

Determined to figure out their identities, Fumiaki begins to do strange activities such as sliding on the floor and appearing on the other side of the door, hiding in a bin and even inside a filing cabinet to follow the two girls. After this he is told by them that it is solely coincidence that they share a resemblance to the girls in which Kokomi says their name is "Secret x Heroine Phantomirage!" maybe a sign that they wish to keep their identity secret. Hearing this, he quickly gives up saying that he writes to make the readers happy.

He is then "arrested" by the reverse police because he "makes his readers happy by giving them exclusive articles". Though afterwards, he still can't help but think how similar the girls look, ultimately resulting them to make a silly face.

The girls continued to read what the fans needed to say, getting encouraged by the message of their fans as well as their fans new founded purpose because of what the girls believed in. With Fumiaki’s help, the girls are able to relearn why they became Phantomirage in the first place, allowing to retrieve their items. Meanwhile, he is seen hiding behind the door cheering as he managed to cheer the girls up.

### Phantomirage Movie: The Girls Heroine's

As the news that the Phantomirage are getting a movie is announced, he hides at the Director's office hoping to get a good scoop. However, after staying silent for a while, the Director's Assistant explains to the Phantomirage that there were Girls Heroine's before them. Unable to stay quiet any longer, Fumiaki comes out of his hiding place - much to everyone's surprise.

Along with Ryuichiro, the assistant, the two introduce Miracle Tunes, explaining how they protected the world with music. Fumiaki further introduces MagimajoPures who fight using magic, even revealing he had won a competition by holding a survey about them. Ryuichiro says that the two groups haven't been seen in a while, but Fumiaki reassures him that they are definitely doing something somewhere.

The Phantomirage are motivated by the news of other Heroine's, hoping to have a movie that has cool songs and dances like Miracle Tunes, and one with cool fights like MagimajoPures.

* The kanji for "Fumiaki" (文秋) was incorrectly read by Kokomi as "bunshun" in "Shukan Fumiaki" (週刊文秋), which is a reference to the real-world newspaper Shukan Bunshun (週刊文春).
* Unlike the previous seasons where the heroines have three known classmates that are constantly around them, appearing around more than one episode, Fumiaki is the only known constant classmate in their series, not counting memorable ones.
