## Plot[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=The_Chaperones&action=edit&section=6 "Edit section: Plot")]
At [Teitan Elementary School](/wiki/Teitan_Elementary_School "Teitan Elementary School"), Conan is watching the report on the bomb threat at the hotel yesterday on his cell phone. According to the hotel management, the false fire alarm was caused by a technical defect. Conan is surprised that no videos of the annoyed evacuated guests are shown on the news. Meanwhile, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta have found a Kamen Yaiba event at a beach in Shizuoka on the internet, where sausages with the [Kamen Yaiba](/wiki/Kamen_Yaiba "Kamen Yaiba") logo are also sold. The children want to go, but Haibara reminds them that the professor has a slipped disc and so he cannot go to Shizuoka as their supervisor. The children are sad because the event only lasts until the next day. Rumi Wakasa then comes up to the children and offers to be their supervisor. Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta are excited. Rumi then explicitly asks Haibara again if she is coming too, to which Haibara happily agrees.
Conan finds Rumi's interest in Haibara suspicious, so he calls Shuichi Akai, explains the situation to him and asks him to accompany the group disguised as Subaru Okiya so that he can protect Haibara, just as he had protected her from Sera in the case of the [antique lacquer tray](/wiki/The_Antique_Tray_Can%27t_Be_Hidden "The Antique Tray Can't Be Hidden"). When they arrive at the beach, the children eat sausages at the beach house and are very excited. Conan, on the other hand, soberly states that it is simply a sausage with the Y of Kamen Yaiba painted on it with mustard. While eating, Ayumi bumps Genta's hand with her shoulder, causing his sausage to land on the blanket on which they are all sitting at the table. They order a new sausage from the employee Sakura Menda. Meanwhile, Genta tries to wipe the grease and mustard stain from the blanket, but the stain is too stubborn.
Meanwhile, Sakura is in the kitchen and passes the order on to the employee Maika Kayaki. She is kneading a gyoza filling when the knot of her halterneck comes undone. Since her hands are dirty, she asks the employee Takaki Koriyama to tie the top back up. She asks him to tie the knot as tightly as possible, to which Koriyama replies that it will be more difficult for him to take Maika's top off later. Maika says that he will manage that with his strong hands. Annoyed, Sakura interrupts their flirting and asks Koriyama to open a jam jar for her, but he fails. Sakura is annoyed because she is Koriyama's ex-girlfriend. However, she had left him to start a relationship with Reisuke Kayaki, Maika's younger brother. But Reisuke has died in the meantime, as Katsunori Usui, the manager of the beach house, disrespectfully points out. Since their boss had incurred losses due to a mistake by Reisuke, the group must work hard to make up for the losses; as Reisuke's sister, girlfriend and friend, Maika, Sakura and Koriyama must work especially hard, Usui says. If the income is not enough to pay their boss, Usui must force the three to do "more lucrative work". Usui rummages around in a cooler but can't find any pineapple juice, which surprises Sakura, as she had actually refilled it to the brim. Instead, Usui makes do with grapefruit juice, which Koriyama also likes to drink, after which he always falls asleep quickly. Usui uses this cue to say goodbye for a nap during his lunch break. In the meantime, the three are to buy more pineapple juice. Koriyama, however, goes with Usui into the back room of the beach house for his lunch break, as there is air conditioning there. Sakura has to take medicine to her grandmother, so Maika takes over the pineapple juice shopping.
While the Detective Boys are playing in the water, Rumi and Subaru are talking under the group's parasol. Rumi asks whether Subaru, as Professor Agasa's neighbor, might know Haibara a little better. Subaru says no and asks why Rumi is interested in Haibara. Rumi doesn't want to give Subaru any details, but reveals that she believes that Haibara is the daughter of a woman who messed up Rumi's life. Rumi also has the feeling that she has met Subaru before, as he seems strong, graceful and trustworthy. Subaru brings up the fact that Rumi doesn't go into the water because she must be hot. Rumi replies that she can't swim and that her skin is sensitive and gets sunburned easily, so she prefers to wear her long dress despite the heat and stay under the parasol. Subaru stares at her and says that he thought Rumi's skin might be marked by something that she is trying to hide with her clothes. Rumi immediately refutes this thought and points out that Subaru is wearing a sleeveless top with a high collar, which is also unusual. Rumi stares at him and points out that Subaru is sweating on his arms but not on his face. She wonders if he is only sweating under the skin of his face. For a moment, Rumi and Subaru stare at each other without saying a word before laughing and concluding that everyone has their own physical condition.
Meanwhile, at the beach house, Maika has returned with the pineapple juice, for which she had to go to a vending machine far away. While she puts the juice in the cooler, she asks about Sakura's grandmother; Sakura had forgotten the house key, but she didn't want to wake her grandmother, who might also be taking a nap, so she left again and will bring her grandmother the medication for high blood pressure later. Usui and Koriyama are not back yet, so the two women want to wake the men. In the back room, however, there is only a sleeping Koriyama, and there is no sign of Usui. However, Sakura notices a large bundle in the back room; she unties the knot, causing the blanket to unfold and reveal the dead Usui in the bundle. Sakura and Maika scream in shock, which Conan, Subaru, Rumi and the Detective Boys also hear outside.
