But I'm at least as excited as you.
Hey, Fukube.
Took you long enough.
Hey. Morning.
It'll be hard to let Juumoji escape with this.
You're pretty eager yourself, going on watch this early.
You too.
All these detective wannabes are keeping watch...
That must mean that he hasn't struck yet.
Alright, Juumoji...
Let's see what you've got!
Every day is set in stone, and we
fukuzatsu ni kamaeta kyou ga
iki wo nonde sumashiteru Just hold our breath and live it through
mi ni oboe arun darou I'm sure you know what I mean

Just take another breath
The Last Target
It's finally the last day!
It's do or die!
I see...
I feel like I've met her somewhere before...
Using the Juumoji incident to help sell Hyouka isn't a bad idea.
But it won't be enough to sell out.
I guess I'll think it over.
No idea if I'll come up with something, though.
Nothing's happening.
Yeah.
Maybe Juumoji's after the Quiz Club?
No, that makes no sense.
What would he steal from the Quiz Club? Their event is over.
This is boring. I'm out.
Yeah, I've stopped caring too.
Where are you, Juumoji?
Scared of all the people?
What'd you say?!
Something happen?
That damn Juumoji...
This was a feint.
A feint?
Did he hit the Quiz Club?
No, the Light Music Club.
They took a string.
The Light Music Club?
Are you serious?
Check it out yourself if you think I'm not!
See you.
Wait!
That was pointless.
What?
Looks like he hit the Light Music Club.
You serious?
Juumoji is far more adaptable than I thought...
The direct approach won't work.
I need to rethink this.
What can I do other than catching them in the act?
They're selling pretty well now!
The 20 copies we cut the price on sold out.
Chitanda took 10 more down to restock.
And we've sold nine copies this morning.
Maybe we can be more optimistic about this.
That's a Saturday for you.
Hey!
Looks like you're conserving energy pretty nicely.
Sis?!
Why'd you come here?
Your beloved big sis is here to see how you're doing. Aren't you grateful?
Here.
Thank you very much.
What's that?
Not something you'd use.
I got this through the Straw Millionaire protocol.
Your fountain pen turned into this mirror.
You mean by trading stuff for more stuff?
Yeah.
Oh?
Then...
I'll take this.
In return...
Here.
What?
"A Corpse by Evening"?
A manga?
Whether this staves off your boredom or not is up to you.
What's that supposed to mean?
Well, see you.
Hey!
Anshinin Takuha?
"I hope you enjoyed 'A Corpse by Evening'."
"As one of the creators, I'm biased, but I think it's turned into something wonderful."
"Though, to tell the truth, I only worked on a few of the backgrounds."
"If you enjoyed this manga then you should thank the writer and the artist."
So Anshinin Takuha is a group name?
"Not all of us are in the Manga Society."
"We simply liked manga and found that our tastes were similar."
"This work is the result of what we thought up when we set out to create our own one."
"While I think it's quite something for our first work, self-review holds no ground to true criticism.
"I will leave judgment of its value to those who read it."
"We do not plan to disband after this one work."
"We have already started working on a manga for the next Kanya Festival."
"Our writer, A, intends to depart from this style and try a mystery."
"It seems that she is planning some variation on a famous mystery by Christie."
"We already have a title, which I will write here."
"Our next work will be titled 'Kudryavka's Order'."
"Yet another ominous-sounding name."
"Until we meet again next year, at the Kanya Festival."
"Anshinin Takuha."
"Kudryavka's Order"?
I don't know what a "Kudryavka" is, but something about the word "order"...
And one of Christie's famous mysteries?
Whether this staves off your boredom or not is up to you.
Sis, you'd better not be getting me mixed up in some mess.
Broadcast Room
Excuse me!
Are you the Broadcasting Club President, Yoshino-san?
Yeah. Who are you?
Good morning.
I'm the Classics Club President, Chitanda Eru. I'd like to ask—
You're the President of the Classics Club?!
Perfect! I was just about to look for you!
How'd you like to be on the lunch show?
I think the president of Juumoji's last target will make huge waves!
Well?
A chance I never even dreamed of!
I'd love to! Thank you very much!
See you at noon in the Broadcasting Room, then!
The show is half-past noon! Later!
Thank you!
I'm back.
Hey, Chitanda-san.
Good work.
Has anything else happened?
They skipped "ku" and stole a string from the Light Music Club.
Now we're back to square one.
What do you think, Oreki-san?
He's completely absorbed in that doujin manga.
He's been like that for a while, now.
This is really good.
What is it?
This art...
I feel like I've seen it somewhere before...
You're just seeing things.
My Sis brought this.
No, I'm sure of it.
Chitanda, this isn't the time for that.
I...
I'm curious!
There it is...
It's on the tip of my tongue!
Swallow it back.
I can't!
At least try!
Could you show me another page?
Here.
Thank you!
This picture!
This picture looks a lot like the poster pinned next to the meeting room!
You're right.
Oreki-san, can I borrow this manga?
I want to look into it!
Fine. Just give it back soon.
I need it for something.
Okay!
This one's definitely better.
I'm sorry, it's not on sale.
Thank you very much.
Done!
Draw whatever you want next.
I'll change your water.
Oh? Thanks!
No photos!
Whoops!
S-Sorry, Ibara.
I didn't mean to...
It's okay.
These clothes are khaki anyway.
No one will notice.
Probably.
Ibara...
Sorry, President.
Can you handle the rest?
But your Rainbow Parakeet costume is—
Don't worry about it.
Mayaka-san!
Chii-chan?
Do you have a moment?
A tracksuit?
Yeah, I changed.
What's up?
This!
Why do you have this, Chii-chan?!
It's not mine. It's Oreki-san's.
Why would Oreki have this?
His sister brought it here.
Do you know this manga?
Well, yeah, I do...
The person who drew this manga might be the same person who drew the cultural festival poster!
I'm curious!
Where's that poster?
Next to the meeting room!
Okay! Let's go!
Shuubun
When the light and dark are in balance
Hyouka
What do you think?
I'm 99% sure they're the same.
The way the ears are drawn is exactly the same.
I see!
Thank you so much!
That's one thing off my mind!
You really were curious, huh?
Yes!
Say, do you want to find out who wrote it?
Yes, I'm curious!
Coming!
Hello, Tanabe-san.
Hello. You were from...
The Classics Club!
Oh, right.
Did you have another question?
Excuse me, but do you know who drew the poster pinned over there?
Oh, Kugayama drew that.
Kugayama Muneyoshi-san?
The Student Council President?
Yeah.
I asked him to draw something.
It's pretty good, right?
Yes! It's absolutely wonderful!
He'll be very happy to hear that.
I never thought I'd find out both the writer and the artist!
Maybe I can ask him directly!
Maybe the dream team is still active!
Geography Prep Room
We found out!
So were they the same?
Huh?
What's with the tracksuit?
What about the Manga Society?
I got someone to fill in for me.
They were the same person!
We know their name too!
Oh? That's nice.
It was Kugayama Muneyoshi-san!
What a surprise!
Is that someone famous?
H-Houtarou...
You're kidding, right?
You know him?
Student Council President.
Oh, I see!
I'd always thought it was read "Rikuyama"...
So Kugayama was the artist for this Anshinin group?
"Anshinin"?
You read it "Ajimu".
It's a place in Kyuushuu.
Is that bit of trivia critical to life?
Um...
There are Latin letters for how to read it here.
The artist was Kugayama-senpai, but the writer was someone named Anjou Haruna.
Oh? You know this manga?
I love it!
I bought it at this cultural festival last year.
It's rare for her to say she likes something so frankly...
Hey Oreki, can I borrow that?
Sure, but could you wait a bit?
I'm still using it.
Using?
Oh, right!
I'm going to be on the Broadcasting Club's lunch show!
What?!
Chii-chan, that's great!
Good job!
A personal appearance on a show?
We might just be able to sell out!
In that case, I'll tell you the secret to being a talk show guest!
Really?
First, and most importantly, a guest really only has about five minutes on the show.
So it's all about how much of an impact you can make in that short time frame.
Kanya Festival Brochure...
The Gardening Club, Cooking Society, Light Music Club...
Christie's famous mystery...
Kudryavka's Order...
What?
What do you think?
About what?
Nothing...
Well, whatever.
My train of thought's at a roadblock anyway.
Normally I'd ask these guys for their opinions and go from there, but...
Chitanda would get in the way.
She'd never agree to what I want to do.
Satoshi.
Come with me for a second.
I knew it! You figured something out, didn't you?
Really, Oreki-san?!
Don't blurt out your thoughts like that!
You've set off Chitanda's eyes!
Did you figure out something?
No, I didn't figure out anything.
So this isn't about the Juumoji incident?
No...
Come on, Oreki.
I...
I'm just as curious, so why just Fukube-san?
Oh, crap.
Well, now it's too late...
Yes, it's about Juumoji.
I'd love to hear it then!
But it involves a very adult topic.
Are you sure?
So, let's hear this "adult" talk of yours.
Sorry for forcing you outside like this.
Don't worry about it.
It's not a huge revelation or anything, but there are some things that just don't make sense to me,
and I think there must be some meaning behind them.
Is there some connection between the clubs that have been hit?
No, that's not it.
Then have you found some mistake that Juumoji made?
That's also a bit off.
What?
Neither of those?
There are over a thousand suspects here.
And you're going to find the culprit without any connections or mistakes?
Well, yeah.
How?!
Well it's not like I know who it is.
I'm just trying to put my thoughts together.
Let's hear it then.
I expect this to be good!
First, why is Juumoji stealing ten objects from ten clubs?
We assumed this based on the characters in the name.
That assumption is still a bit suspicious.
Second, why do they leave a card each time?
You mean this?
Third, why do they use the word "lost"?
Wouldn't you expect them to say "taken"?
Fourth, why do they leave a Kanya Festival brochure?
That's not the only place you can find a listing of clubs.
Why are they so particular about that?
I have one of those too, from the Cooking Society.
Fifth, why the Gardening Club and the Cooking Society?
There are other clubs starting with "e" and "o".
Especially for the Cooking Society...
Wouldn't you normally ignore the leading "o"?
I guess that question is closely tied to whether they go with the Classics Club or the Crafts Club.
Sixth, and this is the strangest point.
Why did they skip "ku" and go straight to "ke"?
Wasn't that to avoid all the security there?
There's no way anyone could have gone unnoticed at the Global Act Club.
Seventh, this.
Isn't that manga totally unrelated to all this?
That may not be the case.
Satoshi, what are Christie's most famous mysteries?
Let's see...
And Then There Were None, Murder On The Orient Express,
The Murder Of Roger Ackroyd, The A.B.C. Murders.
Those four, I guess.
If you were to turn one into a manga and call it "Kudryavka's Order", I think the most appropriate would be The A.B.C. Murders.
Kudryavka was the dog they sent into space that died there, right?
That has an "unnatural death" image in my mind, so I'd say And Then There Were None.
Well, this is all theory right now, so it doesn't have to match up exactly.
I think I know what you're trying to say.
Is there a manga named "Kudryavka's Order" being sold at this festival?
No, not that I've heard of at the Executive Committee.
If the Manga Society were selling something like that, I'm sure Mayaka would say so.
Only if.
At last year's cultural festival, there was a manga called "A Corpse by Evening" being sold.
In the afterword, the author said they would base their next year's manga on a famous Christie novel.
Based on our theory, that manga would be based on And Then There Were None or The A.B.C. Murders.
And this year, we are witnessing an incident clearly based on The A.B.C. Murders.
Is this a coincidence?
So you're trying to say that the Juumoji incident was announced in A Corpse by Evening?
At the very least, they're definitely related somehow.
Juumoji is carrying this all out without interfering with the clubs and causing as few problems as possible.
I can't imagine they're just doing this for fun.
So then why did they skip "ku"?
There would be plenty of ways to pull off a theft on that.
I think there's some meaning to all of this.
I'm going back.
I'm worried about Chitanda-san.
Yeah. You do that.
I'm going to borrow these for a bit.
Satoshi, tell Chitanda to prepare something that begins with "ko".
As bait for the culprit?
I thought about that earlier.
I'll get a "completed manuscript".
Don't let us down, Houtarou.
On Air
We'll start as soon as the music finishes.
Y-Yes!
Five seconds.
Four. Three.
You're listening to Yoshino Yasukuni's Radio Beat, Special Edition!
