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

make sure, I took a step back to look at the whole drawing, and then stepped
forward to examine the details. While Chi-chan mentioned how the clothing
fabric was drawn similarly, the decisive spot was actually the ears, where
they're completely identical.
I turned to face Chi-chan,
"I'm 80-90 percent, no, I'm 99 percent sure it's the same person,"
Upon hearing that, Chi-chan placed her hand on her chest as though looking
relieved,
"I see. Thank you very much, you've taken a burden off my chest,"
It seems like I've helped her a lot, so I smiled, which was something I haven't
done in quite a while.
"Haha, you seemed really curious about it, weren't you?"
"Yes, but I wasn't confident in making the comparisons myself......"
"Me neither, it's not like I have any special methods for identifying the
similarities,"
Now, I might as well satisfy my own curiosity, I knocked on the door to the
Conference Room besides the notice board.
"Coming,"
A person opened the door. He looked just like the guy in the poster. A glance
at his collar indicated he was a second year. He looked at us and wondered
who we were.
"Greetings, Tanabe-san,"
Chi-chan said and bowed her head. This must be Tanabe, president of the
Executive Committee then. He seemed like a nice guy. By the way, Chi-chan
really is good with remembering people's names. While my own memory
isn't that bad, but I can never reach Chi-chan's levels.
