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

With his thumb, Tani-kun pointed to the centre of the classroom,
"As if I'd show any kindness to an expected worthy rival. Go investigate
yourself."
He must have not found anything yet, as if the crime has been committed,
these three detective-wannabes wouldn't still be here. So I shrugged my
shoulders.
The clock had just moved past 7. As we would need to be by the Gymnasium
by 8.30 to have our attendances taken, if "Juumoji" were to appear, he too
would choose this moment to strike. I, and most likely the other three as well,
would be focusing on whoever has come here before then. If the crime had
happened during this time frame, we would be able to narrow down the
suspects.
Silently, I moved away from Tani-kun and Haba-sempai and leaned on one of
the walls by the corridor. If I were a hard-boiled detective, I would have
taken out a cigarette and smoked it while I waited. Unfortunately, this is a
high school, so I took out some chewing gum instead.

The final day has at last arrived.
As it's a Saturday, there were more visitors from outside of school than usual.
Today is also the day where the "Juumoji Incident" must come to an end. It's
a make-or-break moment, no matter how one looks at it. To get things
started, I first headed to the nearest billboard to have a look at the newest
edition of the "Kami High Monthly".
