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

counter. Though it's called a reception counter, as the movie is free, it's not
going to collect any admission fee. Rather, they seem to be selling pamphlets
for the movie. A girl was assigned to watch the counter, but as nobody seems
