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

Miss Announcer, you don't need to gasp, she's correct.
After a brief pause, the announcer lifted the girl's right arm and declared,
"Correct! And the winner of Quiz Trial 7 is Shimizu Noriko-san of Class 3-
E!"
Haha. Oh well, too bad.
Only the winner gets to receive the prizes. And as Shimizu Noriko-san (who
didn't even bat an eyelid when answering the more odd questions. She's an
interesting person, I must try and remember her name) received hers wrapped
in paper, I had no idea what it was. Oh well, I didn't feel bad about losing,
and I wasn't interested in the prizes anyway.
As the trophy presentation was finished, the Quiz Club president gave his
greetings and wrapped up the Quiz Trial tournament. The crowd then began
to disperse to all directions of the school campus. It sure was fun, not only
did I raise the Classics Club's appeal, I also managed to have some fun as
well. Now, I wonder where I should go next. As I was prepared to return with
a smile, someone called out to me.
"Hey, Fukube."
It was Tani-kun. Smiling, I raised my arm to greet him.
"Hey, too bad we didn't win."
"Indeed. Guess it's a draw."
A draw, huh? It's not like I'm competing with Tani-kun... Oh well, whatever.
"Guess so," I replied.
"Well, you need something?"
