Prologue

In Kyoto, Heiji performs in a movie entitled "Ryoma's Holiday" as Shinsengumi captain Sōji Okita as Kazuha watches off on the sides. The shooting of the scene is going well until Kogoro overacts his role in the movie as a mere extra. After getting yelled at, Kogoro decides to appeal to the director for a larger role. Kazuha texts Ran and suggests that she and Shin'ichi should come visit and see how the film shooting is going. Ran shares this message with Shin'ichi and tells him they would get to travel to Kyoto on a plane, only for Shin'ichi to claim he isn't interested in movies. "You're interested in Hattori-kun's activities, aren't you?" Ran remarks. Shin'ichi denies Ran's claim as some of his junior year fangirls arrive requesting information about his latest case and wanting autographs. Shin'ichi politely tells the girls he'll sign autographs and give handshakes at a later time so the girls leave happily as Ran guilt trips him into finally accepting her request to go with her to Kyoto.
