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

"Now on sale at the Geology Room on the fourth floor of the Special Block
with rave reviews!"
Ehh? We're getting rave reviews already?
I-I didn't even know.
This is fantastic. I have hope for the future.
A roar of excitement could be heard from the direction of the courtyard.
Thanks to Fukube-san's smooth-speaking, the crowd seems to have been
moved somewhat by his words. Though it sounded like he could have gone
on further, before long, the quiz tournament had begun as I heard a loud
voice announcing its commencement. I pray for your success, Fukube-san.
I must do my best as well.
Come to think of it, it does seem effective to entrust someone else to sell our
anthologies on our behalf. However, just placing copies of "Hyouka" at other
people's stalls alone will not increase its appeal. So while it's important to
seek new venues to sell our anthology, isn't it also important to raise the
appeal of "Hyouka" as well?
I went through this thoroughly as I had my lunch. Take my family business
for example, we would normally have decided which market to sell our rice
to. Though we would like to expand our market, if our quality is below the
standards required by the government, nobody is going to buy our rice.
This is because rice isn't a really sensational product, much like our
anthology right now, which wasn't exactly a necessary commodity. So the
situation the Classics Club is facing is quite similar to this.
