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

until just a while ago. By the time she returned, it didn't really matter
anymore whether I asked her what kind of club the Classics Club was.
Anyway, subjectively speaking, I didn't particularly hate this club that I had
joined. So instead of retorting to my sis, I said, "If there is such a cursed
tradition, why don't you give me some charm or something, sis?"
"Are you trying to extort me?"
After being speechless for a while, I felt something flying towards me from
behind. Just when I thought was she really handing some sort of charm to me,
the thing I caught didn't have anything divine about it. It was a fountain pen.
Though it wasn't divine, it sure had style, being deep black in colour with a
dull silver lining along its sides. It's probably not cheap.
"You can take that."
"...Should I say thanks?"
"By the way, it's out of ink, and the nib's broken."
Stop throwing garbage around! After hearing her place something back in the
fridge, her footsteps left the kitchen and went into the corridor, where she
said, "...I'll come over to visit if I have time!"
"No, don't," I replied immediately.
Even if we're going to have loads of cases, having her come would just make
things unbearable. I heard no reply from her as she walked up the stairs.
I lay on my bed.
Since I was waiting to fall asleep, I wasn't particularly thinking anything.
Before long I closed my eyes and sighed deeply.
