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

"(Amazed) Manuscript?"
"Yes. Hyouka is the name for our club anthology, it's a strange name, isn't it?
Actually hidden in this name is a secret that concerns the Kamiyama High
School Cultural Festival, or the 'Kanya Festival' for short. For anyone who's
interested, please do come and buy a copy to find out for yourselves."
"A secret concerning the Kanya Festival, huh? Now I'm curious. But what's
that got to do with 'Juumoji'?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I meant the manuscript for that anthology. But it's not just any
manuscript, but a manuscript that has been proofread for printing. Thus a
'Proofread Manuscrip'. ([KO]URYOU GENKOU 校 了 原 稿 )"
"(Delighted) Aha, I see! In other words, an item that begins with [KO]. So
this is what you've prepared in order to invite 'Juumoji' to a showdown,
right?"
"Well, (A bit embarrassed) something like that...... Though it's not like we're
not anxious about it."
"How so?"
"The person known as 'Juumoji' has been able to carry out his acts without
being caught so far, so he's a very alert and bold individual. Since everyone's
attention would be on us, his final target, we would of course feel a bit
anxious. (Emphasizes slowly) Maybe there's another way, but we couldn't
think of anything better."
"I see, so you're serious about this showdown?"
"Yes, we are. (Smiles and speaks gently) As we've purposely arranged a
target item, while still feeling helpless at not knowing if it would be stolen.
So we would like as many people as possible to come to the Geology Room."
"And there we have it...... (Speaks with vigour) The final target, the Classics
Club, is all prepared! All that's missing is people! And they're seeking people
interested in finding out 'Juumoji's' identity, or even desire to catch him
