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

I wonder why, perhaps it was the sudden splash of cold water that numbed
my senses, I don't know.
But I hardly felt angry. Taking a handkerchief out of my pocket, I wiped
away the water droplets that was dripping from my shirt. The white
handkerchief was quickly dyed in the same grey-yellowish colour.
Well, it is a khaki coloured shirt anyway, so the stain shouldn't stand out too
much.
Still lively only a while ago, the First Preparation Room was now stunned in
silence. Well, sorry about that. I stood up from my chair, finding the
President, I said to her,
"I'm sorry, President. Please take care of the rest."
Unlike Kouchi-sempai, who couldn't possibly wear her costume outside the
school premises, I was able to come to school in my costume without having
to change. I was after all still quite resistant to wearing something that people
would quickly associate with cosplaying, besides, Fuku-chan had said it
would be hard to find any spot to change at school during this period. Though
more importantly right now, I haven't got any uniform to change into as I left
it at home.
Fortunately, my PE uniform was still here. Normally I would bring the
clothes back for cleaning, but as our last PE lesson was cancelled, I didn't get
to wear it and so I left it here at school. Finding a room where the Drama
Club members change into their costume, I got myself changed.
Come to think of it, I wonder how the Classics Club is doing. Fuku-chan
seems to be planning something, while there doesn't seem to be much that
Chi-chan could do. As the one who made the ordering mistake, I should at
least help out as much as I can in the final moment.
