was asleep on the deck of the house when everyone else (with the notable exception of Ryoko
) was doing chores. After Ayeka
questions Mihoshi's qualifications of being a Galaxy Policewoman, Mihoshi then tells the story of her and her partner Kiyone's greatest adventure... the "Ultra-Energy Matter" caper.
In the story, Mihoshi casts the Masaki household as the various characters in the story: Ryoko as the thief, Tenchi
as a Galaxy Policeman, Ayeka as Tenchi's heiress fiancée, Sasami as an apprentice detective, Washu
as a mad scientist (not a far stretch of the imagination), and Ryo-Ohki
as... Ryo-Ohki. As the investigation progresses (not to mention romantic rivalies between "Ryoko" and "Ayeka"), the detectives stumble onto a plot to destroy the universe.
