Author's Note
Before beginning this story, I would like to share a few things with you, fellow Hyouka fan.
First of all, let's get the legal formalities out of the way. The universe, characters, and world-building elements of Hyouka legally belong to Honobu Yonezawa, Kadokawa Shoten, and Kyoto Animation. I do not own any characters from the Hyouka franchise.
This is a non-commercial story written by me as a result of my love for the series.
This fan fiction is a result of the love that shaped my adolescence.So, after much pondering, I finally decided to give back to the series in my own unique way by writing this fan fiction.
Warning for Plagiarists:
If any plagiarist(s) tries to steal this story and publish it on any monetized platform, such as KDP, Barnes & Noble, Google Books, etc., the actual copyright holders can track them down and take legal action. They won't be facing me-they will be facing real-world lawyers with real-world consequences. Furthermore, it takes a lot of time, dedication, and energy to write a story, even if it's a fan fiction. The amount of time and resources plagiarists spend in stealing another person's hard-written work is better spent writing their own stories instead.
I sincerely hope that you enjoy this story, even if it doesn't turn out to be that well-written.
Thank you!
-A lifelong Hyouka fan!
