===History===
At some point, the Fortuneteller Prince was in a terrible plane crash which he, according to him, only survived because he was wearing his "Mega-Boost item" at that time. The incident gave him his conviction in Mega-Boost Fortunetelling.
===Fortuneteller Prince Murder Case===
Before the signing event for his new book, the Fortuneteller Prince is visited by his long-time fan Lost Koala. After looking into the unauthorized access to her social media account and following the trail to the Fortuneteller Prince, she figured out that Mega-Boost Fortunetelling is a scam. The Prince steals his customers' passwords via his Mega-Boost app and looks them up on the internet to learn as much as possible about them to give them fitting advice and gain their trust. Lost Koala demands her money back and threatens to report the Prince.
The Fortuneteller Prince tries to stop her by offering her free Mega-Boost items and inviting her to a date, but when his attempts fail, he strangles her with a Mega-Boost ribbon. He then disposes of the murder weapon.
Later, at the signing, the Fortuneteller Prince signs his fans' copies and binds the event-exclusive Mega-Boost ribbon around their wrists. One of the attendees is Totomaru Isshiki who he impresses with his "skills."
Shortly afterward, Lost Koala's corpse is discovered in the venue's garden. Toto, Ron Kamonohashi, and Spitz Fire inspect the crime scene, and the Fortuneteller Prince joins them, claiming that Lost Koala died because she was not wearing her Mega-Boost blue gloves and to offer his help in the investigation.
Ron tells the Prince they are looking for a belt like the one he is wearing. He also tells him about "Toto's" suspicion from earlier: How did the Fortuneteller Prince know that Toto was a detective and may need help investigating? The Prince says he knew that Toto is a detective because of his confidence walking around the crime scene; a regular person would not be so calm. Ron replies that "Toto" has a different theory: The Fortuneteller Prince knew about Toto because he quickly and discreetly searched his name during the signing. Ron also points out the Prince's suspicious certainty that Lost Koala was murdered. The Prince only replies that he simply knows his fans very well and, thus, knows that she would have never committed suicide.
The Prince later runs into Totomaru, Ron, and Spitz again while they are searching his room for clues. Ron takes a look outside and says that, like "Toto" thought, the Fortuneteller Prince's room has access to the courtyard. The Prince replies that the courtyard can be entered from many rooms and adds that he knows they are suspecting him. However, he cannot possibly be the murderer because he would have damaged his kimono moving the corpse from his room to the courtyard. However, Ron counters that "Toto" believes that the culprit could have easily repaired any slight damage to their kimono, if they had worn one. Hearing this, the Prince reminds Ron and the others that he is friends with politicians: If they have no evidence to prove his guilt, he will inform his friends how he was harrassed by the police.
That night, the Fortuneteller Prince does a live broadcast from his room at the inn. During the broadcast, Toto, Ron, and Spitz enter his room to search it again, wearing masks to conceal their identities. The Fortuneteller Prince allows them to search; meanwhile, his live broadcast continues.
The Prince muses that, if he were the culprit, the murder weapon would be his Mega-Boost ribbon; however, they were all handed over to the forensics team already who analyzed them and found nothing. He then uses this opportunity to advertise his ribbons to his audience before he notes the room's surprisingly high temperature. After all, it is currently very cold in Tokyo. He then reaches for a cup of tea, and Totomaru confronts him about his choice, asking him why he neither chose the coffee (his Mega-Boost item is "brown drinks" after all) nor decided to use the AC to lower the temperature.
The Fortuneteller Prince can make an excuse for why he did not pick the coffee (the heat dulled his judgment) but before he can make another for ignoring the AC, Totomaru exposes his true reasons: The Prince killed Lost Koala with one of the Mega-Boost ribbons. He removed the batteries from the remote, wrapped the ribbon around it, and submerged the batteries in the coffee bottle, effectively hiding the murder weapon. Ron then reveals that they already gave the coffee bottle to forensics: The bottle on the Prince's table is a fake filled with brown sugar.
Defeated, the Prince confesses to murdering Lost Koala and asks why it even matters that he was only using a trick as long as his "fortunetelling" made people happy. Toto then informs him that forensics found no conclusive evidence on the ribbon; they, therefore, had to make him admit to his crime during his live broadcast as he could not contradict his own fortunetelling in this situation. They also surrounded the room with heaters to make him thirsty. The Prince is subsequently arrested.
