There was no big case in the story happening. The story was completed in a small room of the SOS group. The story began with the scene where Kyon and Koizumi play games as usual. They were playing with «Ogura Hyakunin Isshu» (an anthology of 100 poems by 100 different poets, a traditional Japanese card game). There comes news that Haruhi is likely to cause something more difficult.

In Japan there is a famous ghost story type called «School’s Seven Wonders». It is a ghost story that seven mysterious phenomena are occurring in school. Many of them are trivial. For example, at night, you hear the sound of playing the piano in the music room where no one should be. Kyon and Koizumi, who knew that Haruhi was investigating this «school wonders», fears that Haruhi’s ability really makes that ghost story materialize. So, the two will consult and try to create seven harmless wonders by themselves. For example, at night, John Cage’s 4 minutes and 33 seconds are being played in the music room where no one should be. (This song is a special song «Enjoy silence without playing the piano.» That is, even if this becomes a reality by Haruhi’s ability, it can be said that it is completely harmless.)

The outline of the story is like this. Because Haruhi is likely to cause another troublesome thing, Kyon and Koizumi will consult and try to solve it quietly. It can be said that it is the usual pattern.

What I like is that the strength of affection for Haruhi of Kyon is secretly presented to the reader. He dislikes calling her classmate by his nickname, but in reality it is because he did not want him to call other girls nicknamed before calling for Haruhi in nickname. There is also a scene where he draws «Ogura Hyakunin Isshu». He drew a card to divine himself. He spectacularly deducts a card of verses that depicted secret love. (He is shy and draws another card, but the card was written with a poetry of a wish «I will keep peaceful everyday from now on.»)

The two cards he drew are here.
