It's been a year since Aoi started working at Kura, and now spring break is full of excitement: a hot springs trip with Kiyotaka and Akihito, a book club party, and more! But at the same time, she is struggling to decide whether to tell Kiyotaka how she feels about him. One day, an editor shows up at Kura under the pretense of doing an interview for a magazine. Then, in the middle of the night, the master forger Ensho steals a Shino tea bowl from right under Kiyotaka's nose. The next morning a written challenge from Ensho arrives-the mysteries continue in Volume 5 of Holmes in Kyoto!

At the end of March, when we’d just barely returned from Kinosaki, the card arrived at Teramachi-Sanjo’s antique store Kura.

“Mail for you,” said the familiar postman as he handed me a stack of letters. I bowed, took the mail, and turned around to look at Holmes, who was sitting behind the counter.

“There seems to be a lot of mail today, Holmes,” I said.

“Thanks for getting that,” he replied. “I expect most of it to be direct mail.” He put down the local newspaper he was reading and smiled.

“Oh, you’re right.” Brochures from other art and antiques businesses, restaurant coupons, beauty salon ads... I checked them one by one as I put them on the counter, and stopped upon seeing a unique card. “What’s this...?”

Dear Kiyotaka Yagashira, the Holmes of Kyoto,

As previously mentioned, you are cordially invited to the 221st Assembly, to be held on April
