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

Really? Hmm, from the look of it, it does seem like Houtarou is beckoning
for me to come over rather than waving at me. He continued to shout.
"Satoshi! Come here! Right below!"
What would prompt the energy-saving Houtarou to go through so much
trouble to do this?
Mayaka stared at the fourth floor with her mouth wide-open. For that
Houtarou to call out to me, it must be something urgent.
It's a rare sight, but something must be up, so I said to Chitanda-san, "Well,
since he called me over, guess I'll go have a look."
A hundred metres separate the makeshift kitchens at the grounds and the
Special Block. Dashing towards there, I looked up and cupped my hands over
my mouth.
"What's up?"
"Here, catch!"
Houtarou seemed to have something in his hand. Catch? Catch what?
Without even time to think, Houtarou tossed something out of the window.
Whoa! At least let me prepare...
I managed to catch a glimpse of something falling.
That said, it was difficult to judge the distance of something falling from
right above you. As it fell from the fourth floor, it fell right into my arms at
quite a considerable speed.
It was pretty heavy, but it was a nice catch, if I do say so myself. But what's
this?
"...T-this is!"
Within my arms was something unbelievable. How on earth did Houtarou get
his hands on this?
