Copy !req
101. Our item will be our completed manuscript!
Copy !req
102. Oh? A completed manuscript?
Copy !req
103. Yes, the completed manuscript for the Classics Club anthology, "Hyouka".
Copy !req
104. Huh?
Copy !req
105. Aren't we missing some?
Copy !req
106. This anthology is full of content at least as interesting as the Juumoji incident.

Copy !req
114. Please come and check out our anthology, "Hyouka"!
Copy !req
115. I know you'll like it!
Copy !req
116. The Classics Club also has a request for everyone, to assist in catching Juumoji.
Copy !req
117. Oh? A request?
Copy !req
118. Yes.
Copy !req
119. We only have four members, so we need more eyes to guard the manuscript,
Copy !req
120. so we'd like to ask that everyone come to the Classics Club.
Copy !req
121. We're counting on you!
Copy !req
122. I see! Fighting by numbers!
Copy !req
123. Yes!
Copy !req
124. I have expectations of everyone who will help us!
Copy !req
125. It's hard to turn down a request like that!
Copy !req
126. And...
Copy !req
127. if you could...
Copy !req
128. buy our anthology?
Copy !req
129. Please?
Copy !req
130. It looks like the last target, the Classics Club, is ready for battle!
Copy !req
131. Chitanda-san, best of luck!
Copy !req
132. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
133. I hope you'll all lend us your assistance.
Copy !req
134. That was Chitanda Eru-san!
Copy !req
135. Okay, we're off!
Copy !req
136. You were pretty good!
Copy !req
137. Thank you very much.
Copy !req
138. What's up?
Copy !req
139. Nothing...
Copy !req

Copy !req
197. Just a few more.
Copy !req
198. A few more, and we'll be sold out.
Copy !req
199. But is he really coming?
Copy !req
200. He can't really do anything with everyone here.
Copy !req
201. Yeah, totally.
Copy !req
202. I'd say it's impossible.
Copy !req
203. Geez, how long do we have to wait?
Copy !req
204. Is this Juumoji thing even real?
Copy !req
205. Maybe they're doing it themselves?
Copy !req
206. Now that's just sad!
Copy !req
207. Come on...
Copy !req
208. Oh, sorry.
Copy !req
209. That's my phone.
Copy !req
210. Shouldn't you answer it?
Copy !req
211. After we finish—
Copy !req
212. It's on fire!
Copy !req
213. It's burning!
Copy !req
214. Put it out! Quick!
Copy !req

Copy !req
216. He got us.

Copy !req
221. They sold out.
Copy !req
222. I wanted to sell them at full price.
Copy !req
223. No, this is more than enough!
Copy !req
224. Thank you...
Copy !req
225. Thank you so much!
Copy !req
226. Stop that.
Copy !req
227. One more thing, though.
Copy !req
228. Yes?
Copy !req
229. Should I really tell you?
Copy !req
230. What is it?
Copy !req
231. I heard you on the radio show.
Copy !req
232. Oh, that? Thank you so much for your advice—
Copy !req
233. About that...
Copy !req
234. I didn't think it through enough.
Copy !req
235. To be perfectly frank,
Copy !req
236. you aren't cut out for it.
Copy !req
237. When you try to control people using expectations, you sound completely dependent.
Copy !req
238. Completely dependent?
Copy !req
239. Is that how I sound?
Copy !req
240. Only about as much as the tip of my little finger.
Copy !req
241. But sometimes, pretending can eventually turn into your reality.
Copy !req
242. I see.
Copy !req
243. You should stop using that advice for your own plans.
Copy !req
244. Your weakness is that you only know how to get straight to the point,
Copy !req
245. but it's also a peerless weapon for you.
Copy !req
246. Did that make sense to you?
Copy !req
247. Yes.
Copy !req
248. I was thinking the same thing.
Copy !req
249. It didn't feel like something I could do well.
Copy !req
250. Um... in other words...
Copy !req
251. I'm tired of it.
Copy !req
252. Well, looks like you couldn't catch Juumoji either.
Copy !req
253. I had expectations of you, too.
Copy !req
254. Well, yeah.
Copy !req
255. Looks like I couldn't meet those expectations.
Copy !req
256. Anyway, it was a fun cultural festival.
Copy !req
257. I'll beat you next time to make us even for the cooking competition.
Copy !req
258. See you.
Copy !req
259. Who was that?
Copy !req
260. Tani-kun.
Copy !req
261. He's not very good at Japanese.
Copy !req
262. What's that mean?
Copy !req
263. He uses the word "expectations" too easily.
Copy !req
264. I think it's fine. It's not like—
Copy !req
265. You can't say the word "expectations" when you have confidence in yourself.
Copy !req
266. "Expectations" are what you have when you've given up.
Copy !req
267. You can't help it.
Copy !req
268. Unless you've already given up, it sounds so fake.
Copy !req
269. Fuku-chan...
Copy !req
270. A good example of "expectations" would be...
Copy !req
271. I thought I saw Houtarou go this way...
Copy !req
272. There he is.
Copy !req
273. I'll get right to the point.
Copy !req
274. You're Juumoji, aren't you...
Copy !req
275. Tanabe-senpai?
Copy !req
276. Oh?
Copy !req
277. A wild guess?
Copy !req
278. No, I have my reasons.
Copy !req
279. Tanabe-senpai?
Copy !req
280. First, this card.
Copy !req
281. Why the word "lost" and not the word "taken"?
Copy !req
282. Who knows?
Copy !req
283. Next, "ku".
Copy !req
284. You skipped "ku".
Copy !req
285. This would break the theory of "ten letters".
Copy !req
286. But what if there were something else involving "ku" that we weren't aware of?
Copy !req
287. Meaning?
Copy !req
288. What if the Juumoji incident was a message for someone?
Copy !req
289. A message saying that someone whose name starts with "ku" had already lost something that started with "ku".
Copy !req
290. That's a rather complicated message.
Copy !req
291. You wouldn't usually be able to decode it.
Copy !req
292. But what if the recipient of the message knew how to decode it?
Copy !req
293. Let me put it this way: I think that was the plot of Kudryavka's Order.
Copy !req
294. You're wondering why I know that title.
Copy !req
295. Kudryavka's Order is a variation on Christie's masterpiece, The A.B.C. Murders.
Copy !req
296. And the Juumoji Incident...
Copy !req
297. is a variation on Kudryavka's Order.
Copy !req
298. And the recipient of the message,
Copy !req
299. the man with a name starting with "ku",
Copy !req
300. is Kugayama Muneyoshi-the Student Council President,
Copy !req
301. and the artist for A Corpse by Evening.
Copy !req
302. Am I right?
Copy !req
303. I can't see why "ku" would be a person if the other thefts were clubs.
Copy !req
304. Juumoji never said that he would only strike clubs.
Copy !req
305. That's a weak assumption.
Copy !req
306. It's not weak at all.
Copy !req
307. You gave us a list of potential targets.
Copy !req
308. But not in imitation of ABC's letters.
Copy !req
309. This was your list of victims.
Copy !req
310. All the victims were chosen from this page.
Copy !req
311. The A Capella Club, the Go Club, the Fortune Telling Society, the Gardening Club,
Copy !req
312. the Cooking Society, the Wall Newspaper Club, the Magic Club, and...
Copy !req
313. Kugayama Muneyoshi.
Copy !req
314. Once I realized that, it wasn't hard to figure out that you were the one behind it.
Copy !req
315. Having all the victims on this page is a real giveaway.
Copy !req
316. The only people who could control the names on the page are the Executive Committee members.
Copy !req
317. But there are 20 members in the Executive Committee.
Copy !req
318. True. And that's where this manga comes in.
Copy !req
319. A Corpse by Evening.
Copy !req
320. President Kugayama worked with the writer, Anjou Haruna.
Copy !req
321. He would know about Kudryavka's Order.
Copy !req
322. Which means that President Kugayama could decode the message in Kudryavka's Order.
Copy !req
323. This is just a theory, but I'm guessing that President Kugayama lost the manuscript for Kudryavka's Order.
Copy !req
324. And Juumoji started this incident to guilt trip him.
Copy !req
325. In other words, this is the culprit's message:
Copy !req
326. "Kugayama's Kudryavka's Order has been lost."
Copy !req
327. And then, there's this afterword.
Copy !req
328. a few of
Copy !req
329. The person in charge of backgrounds wrote it.
Copy !req
330. the backgrounds
Copy !req
331. Anjou Haruna.
Copy !req
332. writer
Copy !req
333. artist
Copy !req
334. President Kugayama.
Copy !req
335. Our next work
will be titled
"Kudryavka's Order".
Copy !req
336. The only other person who would know the manuscript for Kudryavka's Order.
Copy !req
337. This is the only person who could be Juumoji.
Copy !req
338. And finally, the name.
Copy !req
339. Ajimu Takuha. What a weird pen name.
Copy !req
340. You wrote the first letters of each of your names and reordered them.
Copy !req
341. What do you mean?
Copy !req
342. Anjou Haruna make up the "a" and "ha".
Copy !req
343. Kugayama Muneyoshi make up the "ku" and "mu".
Copy !req
344. Take these from Ajimu Takuha, and you're left with "ji" and "ta".
Copy !req
345. Someone who participated in last year's festival, a second-year or higher, and on the Executive Committee...
Copy !req
346. Someone whose first and last names start with "ta" and "ji"...
Copy !req
347. Furthermore, a friend of President Kugayama who knows that he can draw manga...
Copy !req
348. Only one person fits this description.
Copy !req
349. And that would be you,
Copy !req
350. Tanabe Jirou-senpai.
Copy !req
351. Well done.
Copy !req
352. I never thought anyone but Mune and Anjou-san would be able to decode the message.
Copy !req
353. Seriously...
Copy !req
354. You exceeded my expectations, Houtarou.
Copy !req
355. Shuubun
Copy !req
356. Shuubun
Copy !req
357. When the light and dark are in balance
Copy !req
358. Hyouka
Copy !req
359. Hyouka
Copy !req
360. The Cooking Society's ladle has been lost
Copy !req
361. Juumoji
Copy !req
362. Juumoji
Copy !req
363. Why did you send the message in such an indirect way like this?
Copy !req
364. I'm sure you've figured it out.
Copy !req
365. Keeping the spirit of Anjou Haruna alive after she transferred?
Copy !req
366. That's one reason.
Copy !req
367. Another would be wanting to play around a bit with the cultural festival.
Copy !req
368. But mostly...
Copy !req
369. because I couldn't tell him directly.
Copy !req
370. That's the biggest reason.
Copy !req
371. One last thing then.
Copy !req
372. There's something I'd like you to do, Tanabe-senpai.
Copy !req
373. What's that?
Copy !req
374. I'd like you to buy these.
Copy !req
375. 30 copies of the anthology, Hyouka.
Copy !req
376. You're telling me to buy these to keep your mouth shut?
Copy !req
377. Yes.
Copy !req
378. But the purchaser will be the Executive Committee.
Copy !req
379. We can't—
Copy !req
380. Oh, but you can.
Copy !req
381. Buy Online
Copy !req
382. You're selling various things from the cultural festival on the school website.
Copy !req
383. The Executive Committee will buy them from us and sell them on the school website.
Copy !req
384. I can't submit a purchase order without a valid reason.
Copy !req
385. It needs to be something popular enough to warrant it.
Copy !req
386. Of course.
Copy !req
387. But Hyouka will be popular.
Copy !req
388. How will that happen?
Copy !req
389. Because of the Juumoji incident, of course.
Copy !req
390. You're going to make the Classics Club your final target.
Copy !req
391. Fukube Satoshi and I will provide you support in the crime.
Copy !req
392. You'll have insiders in the target.
Copy !req
393. You won't find a better offer.
Copy !req
394. A crowd will form at Juumoji's final target, the Classics Club.
Copy !req
395. The anthology will sell like hotcakes.
Copy !req
396. That will be enough reason to sell them online.
Copy !req
397. And you'll finish the incident without a hitch.
Copy !req
398. What do you think?
Copy !req
399. True...
Copy !req
400. It's not a bad offer.
Copy !req
401. The Juumoji incident will have a good conclusion.
Copy !req
402. We'll have more products for online sales.
Copy !req
403. Our interests seem to coincide.
Copy !req
404. That's good.
Copy !req
405. So, how will you support Juumoji?
Copy !req
406. We've prepared a completed manuscript as a target.
Copy !req
407. It's also being guarded closely.
Copy !req
408. And?
Copy !req
409. According to this brochure, the Science Club will be
demonstrating what happens when sodium is mixed with water.
Copy !req
410. I remember seeing in some video that it's quite explosive.
Copy !req
411. So you're going to use sodium...
Copy !req
412. Yes. I'd like you to obtain some.
Copy !req
413. Also, there's a water gun at the Confectionery Society.
Copy !req
414. Please find some way to trade it from them.
Copy !req
415. That's a dangerous plan you've got in mind.
Copy !req
416. It's a festival, after all.
Copy !req
417. Let's finish it with a bang.
Copy !req
418. Good grief.
Copy !req
419. I'll figure out a way to put some sodium between the pages of the manuscript.
Copy !req
420. When enough of Hyouka has been sold, I'll do this pose as a signal.
Copy !req
421. When you see it, shoot the manuscript with the water gun.
Copy !req
422. But won't everyone be watching it?
Copy !req
423. That's true...
Copy !req
424. In that case, I'll put Satoshi's phone somewhere near the door.
Copy !req
425. Before you shoot, call his number.
Copy !req
426. That should draw everyone's attention away momentarily.
Copy !req
427. Understood.
Copy !req
428. What about the note from the culprit?
Copy !req
429. This'll make quite a scene, so just insert it into one of the anthologies and drop it on the floor.
Copy !req
430. Sounds good.
Copy !req
431. I trust that you'll purchase these copies of Hyouka, then.
Copy !req
432. 200 yen each.
Copy !req
433. You're a shrewd one.
Copy !req
434. It's been a serious problem for us.
Copy !req
435. What was your name again?
Copy !req
436. Oreki Houtarou from class 1-B.
Copy !req
437. When you say "expectations", are you talking about yourself and Oreki?
Copy !req
438. Exactly right.
Copy !req
439. How did you know?
Copy !req
440. I can tell just by looking.
Copy !req
441. I know you well enough.
Copy !req
442. Did you want to beat Oreki?
Copy !req
443. I didn't want to win.
Copy !req
444. But when you're always looking up...
Copy !req
445. Well, I guess it's kind of hard for you to understand.
Copy !req
446. That's not true...
Copy !req
447. Man, I wasn't thinking at all.
Copy !req
448. I totally forgot...
Copy !req
449. "A database can't draw any conclusions."
Copy !req
450. This year's Kanya Festival has safely come to an end.
Copy !req
451. Though, it seems there was a bit of a strange incident.
Copy !req
452. Nice job!
Copy !req
453. Anyway, good work everyone!
Copy !req
454. I hereby declare the 54th annual Kanya Festival closed!
Copy !req
455. I know I'm late, but I've brought it.
Copy !req
456. I believe that the person who wrote this will one day write a masterpiece.
Copy !req
457. You seriously brought it.
Copy !req
458. Yes...
Copy !req
459. This isn't my copy, but...
Copy !req
460. You knew about this manga, didn't you?
Copy !req
461. Yuasa told you?
Copy !req
462. That girl...
Copy !req
463. She told me you were friends with the writer of this manga.
Copy !req
464. Friends? I guess...
Copy !req
465. I wonder how Haruna's doing now?
Copy !req
466. I haven't heard from her in a long time.
Copy !req
467. Have you read this?
Copy !req
468. I think I understand your point of view.
Copy !req
469. Whether something is interesting or not is a matter of how you look at it.
Copy !req
470. But I don't think that's entirely right.
Copy !req
471. That would make everything completely pointless!
Copy !req
472. And that's why you took to A Corpse by Evening?
Copy !req
473. But that's a serious work.
Copy !req
474. If I only ever read comedies, I wouldn't read it.
Copy !req
475. Right?
Copy !req
476. You'd know it when you read it!
Copy !req
477. I know it!
Copy !req
478. There are works out there with that kind of power!
Copy !req
479. Only to those who understand the difference.
Copy !req
480. Kouchi-senpai!
Copy !req
481. I'm joking.
Copy !req
482. I'm joking.
Copy !req
483. I wouldn't say that kind of thing seriously.
Copy !req
484. I guess you didn't get it.
Copy !req
485. Silly Ibara.
Copy !req
486. Ayako isn't being serious.
Copy !req
487. It just won't leave me be.
Copy !req
488. I haven't read it.
Copy !req
489. I stopped halfway.
Copy !req
490. Do you know why?
Copy !req
491. No...
Copy !req
492. You said that I'd know it when I read it, right?
Copy !req
493. You're right, I did.
Copy !req
494. I knew.
Copy !req
495. But who'd want to admit it?
Copy !req
496. What would you do?
Copy !req
497. If you had a friend who didn't really read manga,
Copy !req
498. and she decided to write one,
Copy !req
499. and then she comes up with that...
Copy !req
500. You've got to be kidding.
Copy !req
501. That's why it's sitting in my closet,
Copy !req
502. in a box, at the very back.
Copy !req
503. So I never have to see it,
Copy !req
504. and so I can say that there are no masterpieces.
Copy !req
505. But it keeps coming back to haunt me.
Copy !req
506. I know you went out of your way to find it, but I'm not going to read it.
Copy !req
507. Because, you know...
Copy !req
508. Once I read it, I know I'll call her.
Copy !req
509. And then I'll tell her, "I read it! It was amazing! I want to read your next one!"
Copy !req
510. There's no way I can say that, right?
Copy !req
511. This was on Body Talk...
Copy !req
512. A masterpiece is born a masterpiece.
Copy !req
513. Body Talk.
Copy !req
514. It's a good manga too.
Copy !req
515. Mine's a hundred levels below it!
Copy !req
516. This is all that's left?
Copy !req
517. Yeah.
Copy !req
518. No way...
Copy !req
519. I never imagined we'd do it!
Copy !req
520. This is amazing!
Copy !req
521. That mountain of copies...
Copy !req
522. This is far better than we expected!
Copy !req
523. Expected... huh...
Copy !req
524. Nothing.
Copy !req
525. I guess I can't tell Chitanda I used blackmail to do it.
Copy !req
526. Oreki-kun.
Copy !req
527. You said I did all this because Kugayama lost the manuscript for Kudryavka's Order, right?
Copy !req
528. It's just a theory.
Copy !req
529. I didn't find anything that would give you a motive.
Copy !req
530. Well, that's expected.
Copy !req
531. The only person who understands my feelings is probably Anjou-san.
Copy !req
532. You mean President Kugayama doesn't, either?
Copy !req
533. Right.
Copy !req
534. You tried to send this message to President Kugayama, right?
Copy !req
535. That's right.
Copy !req
536. Then why?
Copy !req
537. Mune—
Copy !req
538. I mean, Kugayama hasn't touched the pen since drawing A Corpse by Evening.
Copy !req
539. Anjou-san is certainly gifted, but I didn't know that Mune was that good.
Copy !req
540. My pathetic scribbles can't even compare.
Copy !req
541. There is a manuscript for it.
Copy !req
542. It was never lost!
Copy !req
543. If he felt like it, he could make it a story even better than A Corpse by Evening!
Copy !req
544. But for him, drawing manga was just something he did for fun that year.
Copy !req
545. That? Just for fun?
Copy !req
546. It's a waste, right?
Copy !req
547. It's a loss for everyone!
Copy !req
548. But he has no intention of drawing anymore.
Copy !req
549. I'd do anything to make him say, "Yes."
Copy !req
550. I was afraid of asking him.
Copy !req
551. I didn't want to believe that he never figured out the message.
Copy !req
552. Expectations are born from a despairingly large difference in skill.
Copy !req
553. I've had expectations of him all this time.
Copy !req
554. So is this what you really wanted to say to him?
Copy !req
555. "Kugayama,"
Copy !req
556. "have you read Kudryavka's Order?"
Copy !req
557. You really are something else.
Copy !req
558. And his answer was...
Copy !req
559. That's right.
Copy !req
560. He never once opened the work which Anjou-san poured her soul into.
Copy !req
561. He never saw through the code.
Copy !req
562. My message never reached him.
Copy !req
563. Oreki.
Copy !req
564. Thanks for lending this to me.
Copy !req
565. Thank your sister for me too.
Copy !req
566. Sure.
Copy !req
567. What?
Copy !req
568. Nothing. I'll tell her.
Copy !req
569. So what should we do with the remaining four?
Copy !req
570. It feels wrong to leave any, so how about we each buy another copy?
Copy !req
571. With that...
Copy !req
572. they're sold out!
Copy !req
573. Yay!
Copy !req
574. All that's left is to unravel the Juumoji incident!
Copy !req
575. Now I can put all my curiosity into this!
Copy !req
576. W-Well...
Copy !req
577. Actually, I think Houtarou's figured out one or two things about that.
Copy !req
578. Really, Oreki-san?
Copy !req
579. W-Well...
Copy !req
580. How about we talk about that over a celebratory dinner?
Copy !req
581. Satoshi!
Copy !req
582. You owe me this, at the very least.
Copy !req
583. I'm all for a celebration!
Copy !req
584. I wasn't able to be here a lot of the time, so I want to hear everything that happened!
Copy !req
585. How about we hold it at my house, then?
Copy !req
586. That's decided, then!
Copy !req
587. It is?
Copy !req
588. Alright!
Copy !req
589. Party time! We're drinking tonight!
Copy !req
590. We're drinking?
Copy !req
591. Yup! Oolong tea!
Copy !req
592. That was so lame...
Copy !req
593. Sold Out
Copy !req
594. joukyou wa hikagaku teki ni
Copy !req
595. The case seems so irrational
Copy !req
596. kanjou no monta-ju
Copy !req
597. A montage of emotions
Copy !req
598. dare ga dare wo yonderu
Copy !req
599. Just who's calling who right now?
Copy !req
600. furimukeba nigeteku shisen kanjiru
Copy !req
601. When I turn around I don't feel watched anymore
Copy !req
602. ki no sei ja tsurenai yo
Copy !req
603. I know it's not just my imagination
Copy !req
604. antena wa sainou da yuusha
Copy !req
605. A heroine's antenna is her talent
Copy !req
606. datte shiritai
Copy !req
607. I mean I want to know
Copy !req
608. seishun ondosa ima no uchi tadashite ageru yo
Copy !req
609. I'll fix the difference in how we view our youths right now
Copy !req
610. ashita kaiketsu suru nara ima demo yokunai
Copy !req
611. If it'll be fixed tomorrow, then why not fix it right now?
Copy !req
612. kimi no misuteri-
Copy !req
613. You are a mystery
Copy !req
614. toite mitai
Copy !req

Copy !req
618. kimi wa fantaji-
Copy !req
619. You are a fantasy
Copy !req
620. hikareteyukuyo tsumui
Copy !req
621. You pull me in to see
Copy !req
622. fukuranda koukishin
Copy !req
623. I want to launch an investigation
Copy !req
624. torikku wa nai no ni
Copy !req
625. Even though there isn't a trick
Copy !req
626. ki ni naru yo
Copy !req
627. I'm curious
Copy !req
628. kyoumibukai
Copy !req
