Beauty and Pollen (美女と花粉, Bijo to Kafun) is the twenty-first episode of Operation: Mystery.

Synopsis[]

Maki and Saori were in a café when suddenly, a woman, who was on a date with her lover in front of them, turned completely black and died. It was determined that the cause of death was a type of suffocation where the pigment was destroyed, and the skin could no longer breathe.

The second incident occurred at an exclusive club, narrowing down the suspects to three individuals. However, while tailing one of the suspects, Saori was unexpectedly captured instead.
