Vol 3 Chapter 23 (2/2)
”About what?”
”This has nothing to do with one's subjective opinion You say such outrageous things only because you've never gone through what I've felt There's a person whose a is so terrific that I've yet to meet someone who doesn't think that way”
”Oh, now that's soot”
Kouchi-seshi+ outfit Without feeling daunted, I continued, ”Based on what you said, even the a that I dreould be on the saa out there But that is not true What I'a could line up alongside this person'swhich could never be eliminated over time
”So tell a called Ashes at Dusk, which was sold at the Cultural Festival last year?”
When I noticed, Kouchi-sempai had lost her usual cal to strangle me, she replied briefly,
”No,”
”In that case,”
If it doesn't work, then it can't be helped If she does not recognize
”I'll bring it to it you still feel the sa to say”
Phew I sighed In order for the truth to be spoken, such an outcoain, as this a Club to help sell Hyouka
It was then that I realized, and said, ”What's going on here?”
The rooo there were only Manga Club members, and now the room was full of customers Huh? Why? When did they coue all this time?
As I looked at the custoan lining up to buy copies of Zeamis Each stack contained ten copies Already I sao stacks of Zea in a new stack to replace them
Erm, I
Taking a deep breath, I put on a smile and said, ”Welcome”
The bystanders ere glancing at me quickly turned their backs around Perhaps I had spoken in a rough tone, and erous?
If this was a a, then veins would have popped up in my forehead already

Now Featuring:
The Battle of the Maidens!
in Manga Theory Debate
(The Jiangshi+ vs The Hermaphrodite)
I wonder what this poster could be about? It ritten in very huge and trendy letters
As I happened to be passing by, I had decided to drop by the Manga Studies Club and pay Mayaka-san a visit, but I ended up being distracted by this strange poster outside
Is this Battle of the Maidens currently going on right now? As I was about to take a peek inside, a fenized that person; it was the president of the Manga Studies Club, Yuasa Naoko-san
”Um, what is this?” I pointed to the poster and asked
Yuasa-san gave a gentle smile as she proceeded to slowly tear the poster down, she then turned toward a bewildered me and replied, ”Oh, we're just finished with that We'll be holding another at 1pa Studies Club wishes you a good day today”
I see
Umm
The Classics Club also wishes you a good day today
022 - ♠06
The clock hand shows that it will be approaching five soon The first day was co to an end
The Classics Club athered back inside the Geology Rooh Chitanda and Satoshi+ had popped bythe day, this was Ibara's first ti
As I had a lot of free time, I took the time to pack the extra copies of Hyouka into the boxes and kept the the stall, it wouldn't look nice if the custo with our sales, after all
”Well, what do you think? My sales appeal worked a bit, didn't it?” Satoshi+ asked
As I'm not as optimistic as him, I replied indifferently, ”Sort of”
”Eh, really?”
I nodded Truth be told, as soon as Satoshi+ made his speech, a few customers did appear As a sales pitch, it sounded kinda stupid I don't knohat kind of fun he had in that coive our sales a little push
Satoshi+ made a victory pose
”All right! We shall do our best to Club's cooking tourna”
Ibara asked nonchalantly to his merry expression, ”The one where you need three people to form a team?”
”Huh?”
Satoshi+'s smile stiffened
”Three people? Really?” He said as he frantically took out the paood for someone from the General Committee to be unaware of what the events are about, after all
Meanwhile, Chitanda looked kind of depressed
”I'm sorry, I I didn't do my best”
”Don't worry too much about it”
To be honest, I hadn't expectedno expectation fro no expectation that ould receive special peres to an event that had already been decided As she looked doard the ground, she see and looked up
”Oh, but, I did coh”
So, curious?
I feltat the mention of that word Whenever this lady utters ”I'o back to the way they were For so sense of curiosity, it is impossible not to satiate Chitanda in her search for the answers
Every tiiven me I an flashi+ng in my head
However, this was siot things started, it would be impossible to suppress her curiosity, but this did not mean that Chitanda would allow herself to run around in a rao about in search of the answers under the banner of curiosity Sis that needed to be done, she would not prioritize her curiosity over those
As though realizing how dangerous she could beco the Hyouka copies
”Oh, nothing It's not really curious,” she said
That was a relief
Finally, there was Ibara, who seeh she's usually like that, even though she wouldn't admit it herself, she always seeave up doing so Though she did notto herself I couldn't help but notice that
”Ibara, did soa Club?”
I decided to ask
”Nothing”
She snapped back looking annoyed Did I say sory as her face wasn't red
”So, Houtarou, how many copies did we sell?”
Upon being asked, I leaned back in my chair and said, ”Thirteen”
This was the best answer I could come up with Had we printed twenty-four copies as we had intended, such a figure would have been impressive for a first day sale At any rate, the real battle begins on the third day, Saturday
Though I did not mention that, as I did not want to suffer froiven a buoyant face and go ”Really?”
Two days left It's not like ere trying to shore up all the support we could get As if we could expect so explosive to happen anyway Noas not the time for us to expect miracles
As the chih School Cultural Festival came to an end
