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

Confectionery Studies Club consists of two people selling biscuits around the
school. They have a Glock 17 water pistol with them, try and ask them to
lend it to you,"
Tanabe widened his eyes,
"...... You sure think of some dangerous stuff,"
I smiled vaguely,
"It's a festival, and it's also the finale, so let's go with a bang.
"I'll try and place the sodium between the pages of the proofread manuscript.
And then wait for my signal, since it wound't be fun if the 'Juumoji' Incident
ended before the Hyouka copies had sold out after all. So wait for my signal
before you fire the water pistol. If you conceal your hands with a Hyouka
copy and stand behind Satoshi, it would be unlikely you'd be caught,"
"And what if the pages catch fire?"
"I'll use as little sodium as possible. What's most important is that a spark is
made, even if just for a moment. Just enough for a small hole to burn through
the manuscript so that everyone could see,"
Placing his hand on his chin, Tanabe smiled,
"Hmm...... This would require some effort. I know some people from the
Chemistry Club, so that wouldn't be a problem. As for the Confectionery
Studies Club, if I can't them, I'll use the one I borrowed from the Gardening
Club...... And what about the greeting card?"
I nodded,
"Place it between one of the Hyouka copies, and then drop it at the first
chance you get. Or place it in the desk drawer if that's impossible. There'll be
many people by then, so it shouldn't be a problem,"
"No, it's better if you just prepare it before hand. Try to keep the procedures
during the crime as simple as possible,"
