Chapter 197 ( Plan - I )

"Gachimuchi Syndrome?" - asked the boy from black hair while frowning - "No... I've never heard of that disease".

"Then let me explain what it's about" - nodded Shizuka as she started to think a little - "Gachimuchi Syndrome consists of a disease that causes the sufferer to change drastically when he is under a high level of excitement..."

"To make it a little clearer, when the sufferer becomes excited, his body mutates and his muscle mass increases considerably, acquiring monstrous strength. We don't know if there are other kinds of benefits because we don't have much information about that disease, that's why we wanted to ask you for help since you went through a similar situation at some points" - Cloud said seriously - "If you help us, it is possible that we will find the person responsible for the attack and depending on the situation we can help him or stop him before this happens again."

"Help? Stop?" - Rintarō asked in surprise.

"Exactly" - nodded Chifuyu calmly - "According to the little information Shizuka-san managed to get, the affected person may or may not be able to control his impulses when under the effects of his excitement, making any attack he makes nothing more than a side effect of his illness."

"I see..." - Rintarō muttered while nodding - "I understand what you're trying to say so I'm going to help you in any way I can, though I don't think it's easy to solve since it could be anyone."

"In fact, we can narrow down the number the number of suspected culprits" - Asuna said as the others nodded - "As we said before, the culprit has to have been aroused in some way by seeing the victim, that means there are two possibilities, one, the attacker is a man, two, the attacker is a lesbian"

"I see..." - muttered the boy as he frowned again.

"Actually, we can narrow it down even further" - said Cloud as he earned the gaze of those present - "First, it can't be a third or second year girl, at least not one of those who attended Nangokuren since last year."

"Motive?" - Rintarō asked curiously.

"Because if it was one of them, something would have already happened during the joint baths" - the blond replied with a small smile - "But the incident happened this year, so that means the culprit is someone new, that narrows down the number of suspected culprits by a large amount"

"As you'd expect from Cloud-sama, a brilliant mind" - Asuna smiled as she praised her leader, though she quickly regained her composure when she saw that she was reacting like a fangirl - "Sorry about that, Cloud-sama."

"Relax, you don't have to worry about something like that" - smiled the blond as he shrugged - "Anyway, at least those are my assumptions, though I don't think I'm wrong."

"I agree with your hypothesis" - nodded Chifuyu - "In fact, with it we can come up with a possible answer very easily, after all, there are only about 100 boys in all of Nangokuren."

"We can also rule out the boys who were on the Disciplinary Council" - Asuna added ruefully - "They saw me when I was working as an Idol, so it's not them."

"We can't count out Tamao or Kousuke either..." - Rintarō said while scratching his cheek. The girls just snorted when they heard this but nodded because it was obvious that they couldn't be, not when they were all the time in a state of excitement.

"Come to think of it... as strange as it sounds, the amount of lesbians in Nangokuren is quite small" - Asuna said as she started to think. It was peculiar that a formerly all-girls school, where all the girls wore quite revealing clothes and at the same time had a large amount of physical contact with each other, didn't have more lesbians.

"Not to mention that the girls who entered this year, may already be engaged or have boyfriends in town" - Chifuyu said while frowning - "That narrows down the number even further... although we still have to identify those who meet the requirements we have narrowed down..."

"And how are you going to ask any girl of her sexual orientation?" - Rintarō asked curiously.

"Why don't we just walk around naked and...?" - Shizuka asked, only to have her idea immediately denied.

Cloud wouldn't let anyone else see his girls' divine bodies, Chifuyu would never let her immaculate body be seen by strangers while Asuna wouldn't let anyone but her beloved leader see her naked, wearing revealing clothing was a completely different matter as this one was wearing it for two reasons, one to incite her leader and two, to have greater mobility and less restriction.

"I don't think that's a good idea, Shizuka-san" - Rintarō said while shaking his head.

"Mou!" - Shizuka just puffed out her cheeks in annoyance at how her idea had been dismissed long before she could even finish.

"Hmm... maybe we can do some sort of survey?" - Asuna asked as she cocked her head to the side - "We can put the names of Cloud-sama and the other boys with the most popularity on the list, as well as the names of the most popular girls."

"And how will we identify those who voted for the girls?" - Chifuyu asked while frowning - "It's not like we can ask them to leave their names on the votes..."

"Ugh..." - Asuna didn't know how to respond to the girl's words so she gave her an annoyed look - "At least I'm giving ideas, you on the other hand, Chifuyu-san are just giving the points against our plans without giving a solution."

". . ." - Chifuyu was silent for a few seconds before looking at the blond seriously - "What if we leave a provocative picture of the participants, such as in swimsuits?"

"!" - Asuna's eyes sparkled slightly at the thought of seeing her leader in a swimsuit while her cheeks were painted a beautiful pink color, though she quickly shook her head back to normal. She couldn't let her desires get in the way of her mission. Though when this one was over, she could do whatever she wanted.

"Sounds like a plan that could work, more so knowing that it's a good way to excite the culprit" - Rintarō replied while nodding - "With that, there will be no need to corroborate the information..."

"We could even 'recycle' the girls' photos for the boys to vote on" - Cloud replied as everyone looked at them - "Think about it, if the boys attended Nangokuren, it's for an obvious reason, or for a stupid reason."

"Hey!" - Rintarō exclaimed with embarrassment - "Okay, I admit it but you have to admit that the name of the High School does sound like that of a boys' school!"

"He's right" -the others nodded.

"Ahem! Back to the main topic, us using the girls' pictures will only get the boys excited and then we can find the culprit... if not, then it would only be left to investigate those who didn't vote" - continued the blond boy.

"I think that's a good plan" - nodded Chifuyu as she looked around and noticed how everyone was contemplating the blond's idea - "I guess we'll go with that plan so I'll go talk to the other dragons so we can create a good choice of participants."

"Hmm... Who do you think will be���an the chosen ones?" - Shizuka asked in confusion.

"You... Chifuyu-san, Asuna, Ayane, Chiyoko, Misa, Kyōka, Rino, Makoto, Keiko, Shū, Erin.... speaking of her... where is she?" - Cloud asked as he looked around. Normally she should be in this place, especially since her information gathering ability is quite useful.

"She said she would take a week off in order to complete some personal business" - said Shizuka as she remembered how the silver-haired girl had told her that she would be absent for a while.

"Her presence is so faint that I had forgotten that she was part of [Metsuryū]" - Asuna said with embarrassment.

"It's not that her presence is weak, it's that she knows how to hide with ease, an admirable skill for an assassin as well as an information trader" said Chifuyu as she nodded firmly.

"Ok that explains Erin-san's absence" - nodded the blond - "And I thought she was gathering information on her own."

"Sorry, Cloud-chan... I forgot to inform you about her absence..." - Shizuka said regretfully.

"Don't worry, it's not like it affects our current situation much" - Cloud replied calmly - "But back to the topic, I think they would be a good group of girls as a cover for our little operation."

"As for the boys..." - Asuna said while frowning - "If I'm honest with you, there's not much variety in them. The vast majority of the kids that attend Nangokuren, are what you would consider to be... normal... they either don't excel at anything or are the type of kids you'd find hundreds of in a crowd..."

"I agree with Asuna... the boys are kind of... normal..." - Shizuka said as she shook her head - "It's like they're just another person in the group."

"The only two that stand out from the crowd are Cloud, Rintarō-san, and finally Kousuke to a very lesser extent..." - Chifuyu said as she gave her objective opinion. She could only attribute this situation to the other boys not mattering in this world where such seemed to be that Rintarō was the protagonist.

"I guess we'll have to work with that..." - Cloud sighed as he shook his head.
