===History===
Recently, the candy of Kamakuya Sweets was showcased in a magazine. When Hojo saw them, she became convinced that the owner of Kamakuya Sweets must have ripped off her designs. Hojo even made a social media post comparing her sweets to Kamakuya's to prove her rip-off claims.
===Kamakura Teahouse Murder Case===
While Totomaru Isshiki, Ron Kamonohashi, Omito Kawasemi, and Chicory Monki are at Kamakuya Sweets, Hojo arrives and demands to speak to Kamakuya Sweets' manager. After an employee, Wataru Akizuki, tells her that he is currently busy and unavailable, Hojo declares that Kamakuya Sweets' owner will get what he deserves and leaves.
Later, Toto spots Hojo hiding in the bushes. She says she will not run away and comes out. Not long afterward, the local police arrive because Kamakuya Sweets' manager was found dead. Ron, Kawasemi, Toto, and Chicory then question Hojo. She vehemently denies that she committed the crime and claims that because the police are "unreliable," she went looking for proof that the manager ripped off her sweets on her own. She was only hiding as she wanted to be "discreet" and adds that she only just returned to Kamakuya Sweets; the commotion about the corpse began right afterward.
After Toto, Kawasemi, and Ron have solved the case, they gather everyone to present their deductions: Akizuki killed the manager. He stabbed him beforehand and prepared the crime scene so that blood would splatter onto the screen while Akizuki was with the customers to give him an alibi. However, because Akizuki is the only suspect with an alibi and because Kawasemi and Ron noticed that he took the pouch used for his trick from the crime scene, they could figure out the mystery. Akizuki confesses and is subsequently arrested.
