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

Oreki-san has often told me to be careful of. I took one step back.
"Irisu-san, you're good at having other people carry out your requests, right?"

"Please teach me how you do it!"
"WHA–!?"
Irisu-san made a flustered, out-of-character yelp, though her ruffled state only
lasted for a moment before she began chuckling.
"...Heh, I've been called a lot of things, but never 'good at having other people
carry out requests' before," she muttered.
Leaning against the emergency exit, Irisu-san gazed at me and spoke slowly.
"Right. You do tend to be too direct in your approaches sometimes. I'll teach
you two or three methods which you can remember."
"T-thank you."
"What do you know about role-playing?"
Irisu-san lowered her head and closed her eyes and began thinking. This was
the first time I'd ever seen her taking time to think. My body went stiff from
the anxiety,
"...Right... Well, let's put it this way," she muttered and opened her eyes. She
then raised her clenched fist towards me. I instinctively leaned backwards as
a result.
"There are two ways to get people to carry out your requests. First, there is
one in which you're expected to repay the favour received."
She lifted her index finger.
"The second is where you do not repay any favour."
