Plot
Conan, Ran, Professor Agasa and Ai Haibara visit the “Miss Japanesque” award reception in the new Tokyo Bell Wood Hotel, which is owned and run by the Suzuki Company, upon Sonoko’s invitation. Originally, Kogoro wanted to attend as well because the Miss Japanesque, Karen Kotobuki, is his current object of affection, but in his eagerness to get ready for the party he slipped on the stairs and broke his leg, rendering him a hospital bed patient.
As the group helps itself on the buffet, Sonoko asks Ran to call Shinichi to ask him whether he can attend to the case. Upon Agasa’s suggestion, Conan prepares to call Ran back when he is suddenly seized by a very familiar seizure. Right afterwards, Ai also begins to suffer these seizures and presumes that they stem from the contents of a rum cake they have both just eaten and which incidentally are about to neutralize the effects of the APTX 4869 they have been forced to ingest. They just barely manage to hide in a woman’s locker room to ride out the transformation back to their actual ages.
