Hyouka - Volume 03 - The Kudryavka Sequence - Welcome to KANYA FESTA! (1)

Actually, I had plans to be at The Cooking Club at 11:30 today, so I was only
intending to work with the General Committee around those times that were
convenient to me. Though I made a playful face, I wasn't exactly unhappy.
Opening the door, I entered the room.
I rubbed my hands and asked, "Well, what is it? As long as it ends before
11:30, I'll jump into an inferno or leap into the ocean for you."
"It'll be over soon. There are bags containing visitor slippers in the staff
room, you'll need to bring two of these bags to every building entrance.
That's about it."
Indeed, this wouldn't take up a lot of time.
President Tanabe sure worked hard in making the pamphlet. Casually, I
began to converse with him.
"Sempai, won't you go sightseeing during the festival?"
"Hmm? Oh."
Facing the whiteboard with its timetable, he turned to me and spoke gently.
"There's a lot of menial stuff to take care of. Still, it requires me to move
around the campus, so it's not like I don't get to see anything. Oh yeah, the
movie shown by Class 2-F is pretty good, I hear."
Oh, this was quite some good news for us.
"But you're unable to join in any events yourself, aren't you?"
Tanabe-sempai smiled bitterly.
"I won't be able to attend to the General Committee if I do. Unlike you, it's
not like I'm as talented or have many interests."
Do I look that talented or have many interests to other observers?
