Different from their usual setting, this ova is centered around Oreki working at the pool. With some pool scenes! The plot itself is simple but what's interesting is that Oreki seems more willing to solve the case, maybe because of Chitanda in white, hehe! It's a must watch!

This isn’t your typical mystery movie. It’s not about who did it; it’s about why we accept answers. That’s what makes this film stand out. It turns a simple school film into a psychological puzzle, showing how easily even a genius like Oreki can be guided. A must-watch!
This ep is a total psychological masterclass and the festival vibes are immaculate. We finally get the character depth needed to see Houtarou actually care about a mystery, while Satoshi’s hidden frustration adds so much weight.
