Volume 28 Chapter 7 (1/2)
”Huh?”
Yu
”The keyas 'photography club' … No, probably just 'photograph' What was it, so that I had to remember to do”
Even with this hint, there's no way that Tsutako-san would be able to give her the answer But when the ball that she had half-heartedly thrown out returned, it landed fair in the love
”Say, Yu you wanted to see me about”
”So I wanted to see you about? No, I only asked you to the Rose Mansion because you were doing your club work all alone”
”Not that After you'd emptied the rubbish bin, when you ca like, ”There she is Lucky””
”Aren't you thinking of Katsura-san?”
But as she said this, Yumi slowly remembered
”Right, I definitely said that”
Ah, there she is Lucky
She'd said those words when she saw Tsutako-san sitting there and was relieved that she wouldn't have to walk all the way over to the clubhouse But then she'd coraphs spread out across Tsutako-san's desk and they'd talked about her eviction from the clubroom
”If you knew about this, why didn't you tell me?”
”Ah I'd forgotten about it too, until just recently”
”Just recently?”
”Katsura-san's arrival It blended with your arrival back in the classrooered the memory”
But then Tsutako-san too had forgotten about it while she talked to Katsura-san Geeze, this wasn't the kind of thing you'd expect fro people
”So, before I forget again”
Yu out and offered it to Tsutako-san Looking slightly triumphant as she did so Ahh - thank-you Yu where it went That kind of expression of gratitude hat Yu to hear However
”What's this?”
Tsutako-san tilted her head and took a long, hard look at what Yu Obviously, Tsutako-san didn't mean that literally She would know better than anyone else on campus what 'that' was
”You must have dropped it, Tsutako-san Soive it to you because we're in the same class”
'That' was a roll of fil brand Sside the brand name, which resembled that familiar cylindrical shape, the katakana for ”Takeshi+s found around school were usually taken straight to the lost property office, but there was no reason to do that with this item
”It's got your name written on it,” Yumi said as she pressed the roll of filone through the experience of having her u and then be returned to her by virtue of having her name written on it
”But this isn't mine”
Tsutako-san looked at the roll of fil atop her hand with a confounded expression
”Huh?”
”For starters, this isn'tany rolls of film either”
Yureed to return it, bri with confidence, because she'd been under the impression that it was Tsutako-san's
”So, this Takeshi+ma Tsutako is - ”
Probably someone else with the same name Of course, 'Takeshi+ma Tsutako' ritten in katakana, not kanji, so it didn't conclusively point to this Takeshi+ma Tsutako[1]
”I wonder if there's anyone else in school with that name”
Perhaps using different kanji characters, or maybe even the same ones that Tsutako-san herself uses[2] At any rate, Takeshi+ma Tsutako didn't seem like it would be that common a name
They both crossed their ar what to do about it
”Oh, why the look of concentration?”
A new visitor had appeared Although it's probably more accurate to call her a tenant rather than a visitor It was Rosa Foetida en bouton, shi+roup classroo with Tanu date, and had just stopped in at the Rose Mansion on her way home When Yoshi+no-san found her two classht, instead of the e enough that she just had to stick her nose in
”Whenever you're in trouble, you can count on the great detective Yoshi+no - ”
Tsutako-san and Yuhed Yu that they were now more likely to thrash around than come to a conclusion Sadly, Yoshi+no-san was theit bluntly, it was obvious that things were about to get worse
”I've got it”
