Hyouka:Drama CD 2 Track 1
Track 1ː Anjou-san's Incredible Work
Here's a link to the trackː https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COLKRUj3kVY
Tanabe Jirou: Oreki-kun. You're saying that I started all these incidents because Kugayama had lost "The Kudryavka Sequence", right?
Oreki Houtarou: That's just a hypothesis, Tanabe-senpai, since I can't tell what your motives would be.
Tanabe: Aah, I suppose. The only other person who would get the message would be Anjou-san.
Oreki: You're saying that Kugayama wouldn't get the message?
Tanabe: Yeah.
Oreki: Then why......?
Tanabe: ......Haah. Oreki-kun. You've read that manga, "Ashes at Dusk", right?
Oreki: Yes. It was a good manga.
Tanabe: Indeed, it was great, but don't you have any other thoughts about it?
Oreki: I see...... The artwork was beautiful, I guess. Especially the characters.
Tanabe: Exactly. Those characters were drawn by Kugayama, and furthermore, the heroine is unbearably amazing! Here, Take a look!
Oreki: Uh huh. Ahhh, you're right. How do I put it...... she looks appealing, doesn't she?
Tanabe: Right? Anyone would fall in love with her. She just exudes an exquisite eroticism that is neither simple nor seductive. It's not any old "Moe"[1] or "Buhi"[2]. There's just something fresh about this heroine that stirs the hearts of every healthy young man!
Oreki: Hmm...... Now that you say it......
Tanabe: Here, look at her clothes! The curves on her legs!
Oreki: Uh huh.
Tanabe: Look! The nape of her neck! It's so foxy, isn't it?!
Oreki: Oh-ho! Not bad.
Tanabe: I never thought that Mune (Kugayama) would have this much talent. I assumed that he was just a riajuu[3], but I was wrong. That guy's a pervert. He has the power to even sell ten thousand at the outer circle[4].
Oreki: Don't know what you mean.
Tanabe: It's a compliment, you don't have to think about it. In any case, he no longer has the will to draw.
Oreki: That's such a waste.
Tanabe: There's a proper script. It wasn't lost at all! I bring it around with me at all times. Here!
Oreki: Oh, ohhh...... this is...... the script of "The Kudryavka Sequence" that Anjou-senpai wrote, right?
Tanabe: Just read it, even for a bit. Flip through it if you have to.
Oreki: It feels so warm, though......
(Oreki flips through script)
Oreki: This is...... extremely risque, huh.
Tanabe: Right. It's the pinnacle of eroticism. So much that it makes me think "Does Anjou-san have testosterone[5] in her heart or what?" So many girls appear in ABC order, just like in an AV scene[6], and I just can't endure it!
Oreki: Mmm---
Tanabe: If Kugayama would contribute his artwork to this script, it would definitely be a masterpiece!
Oreki: Is that so?
Tanabe: Such a waste, isn't it?! Regrettable, right? But Mune won't draw it! If he just said something like "Let's do it", I was ready to do anything!
Oreki: Senpai?
Tanabe: I just can't help but want to read an outrageously erotic manga drawn by Mune! But then! When I asked him...... Ahhhhh~
Oreki: So, is this what you wanted to convey? "Kugayama, hurry up and draw your outrageously erotic manga for me."
Tanabe: ......Haah...... What a splendid deduction.
Oreki: Nope, not splendid at all.

- ↑ Strong affection towards characters in anime, manga and video games.
- ↑ Apparently the pig-like cries of Otakus when they have Moe.
- ↑ Someone interested in real things and has a successful social life.
- ↑ Refers to vendors on the outer areas of doujin (self-pulished manga) conventions. Those spaces belong to the more popular authors, I believe.
- ↑ The audio CD literally says "testicles" (pretty sure even with the censoring beeps), but I found it weird in an English sentence, so I just substituted it with testosterone.
- ↑ Note that "ABC" sounds like "AV Scene". Also, AV refers to Adult Video.
