Ch. 2: Shinkokuna Kaigi
A few hours later, it was already mid-morning, as the scene shifts at Hosea Academy where school life appeared to be business as usual, and the students are enjoying their school lives as if it were a daily habit and right now it was recess and the scene shifts at the cafeteria where some female students are bonding, but then the scene zoomed closer where you can see the female group appeared to have a serious look on their faces.
The female students were discussing something, which turn out that they got the news about incident at the alley and somehow reached Hosea Academy, and some of the girls expressed apprehension that one if them might become the next victim, prompting them to adopt a rule similar to curfew, which they say that they are going to avoid staying late at night and going home straight from the academy as a safety precaution.
However, others are not worried as they appeared confident that they won't fall victim to the mysterious pervert which prompted their classmates to question if they are sure that they are not going to become the next victim.
"Are you sure?"
"You think the pervert won't target you?"
"Yeah...I'm sure."
"You shouldn't be overconfident..."
"I got tons of bodyguards..."
"Still..."
"I doubt it...seven victims got raped...and you think thus pervert won't get you?"
"My bodyguards are skilled...they can beat him up.
As the group debated on this, they did not realize that their discussion was overheard by Minase, as she shook her head in dismay in hearing their comments, seeing that the group do not comprehend the situation as the incident at the alley was the 7th time, and she left the cafetria in dismay, and she is not surprised if one of the female group would end up as the next victim, as she choose not to quarrel with them seeing that she has no business lecturing them.

Several hours later, the scene shifts at the meeting room where Team E members are assembled, consisting of Haruhiko Ichijo, Mai Kawakami and Reina Izumi. They had just arrived a d commented that so far there has been no reported sightings of any Phantom activities and the trio appeared to be a bit glad that classes is going smoothly, but now they are wondering if they are going to do an investigation after being told by Himeno that she wants to have a word with Team E.
As Mai is looking forward to getting a GOOD EXERCISE, Haruhiko is being teased by Ruru as she noticed him staring at Mai recently, while Izumi remained behaved as she is waiting for two of their fellow members: Minase and Kurumi Kumamakura. As the rest are waiting, Haruhiko is glancing at a novel he just borrowed from the library, and blushed a bit as he realized that he borrowed a romance novel by accident, and after looking at a few pages, he also realized that it was of adult content as it shows detailed scenes of making love, though in a romance-type sense.
Haruhiko looked away and ended up glancing at Mai, where he recently started to show attraction towards her, and as Mai flexed her arms, she accidentally parted her legs, and inadvertently exposed a DANGEROUS portion of her upper thighs, almost exposing her panties. With Mai's well-endowed figure, Haruhiko fell prey to the scene and innocently took notice of her thighs before looking away, and to his dismay, his body had a reaction as it AWAKENED his organ, which got hard and threatened to bulge its way out of his pants, which he blushed deeper and used his bag to cover his ANGRY CROTCH.
Unfortunately, Ruru noticed it and began to poke fun at Haruhiko, causing the two bicker discreetly.
"Ooohhh...Haruhiko...what are you hiding...?"
"!"
"My...its morning...do its natural for your PEE-PEE to WAKE UP in the..."
"Sh-shut up, Ruru...!"
"Hmm...?"
"I mean it...!"
"Haruhiko is getting harder..."
"Ruru...!"
Their bickering stopped when Mai noticed the two and approached them, asking what is wrong, and as Ruru playfully threatened to tell her about it, Haruhiko hits Ruru downward, swatting her like a fly and he told her there is nothing wrong, which made Mai suspicious and grabbed him by his collar and demanded that he tell her what is he hiding, which caused him to drop his bag, and their bodies to lean at each other, and she inadvertently felt the bulge of his hard crotch, causing her to back away.
Haruhiko became nervous as Mai saw the bulge on his pants, realizing what she felt just now, and her face went red which caused her to shriek, and he tries to calm her down but she began trapping him in a submission hold and he shrieked in pain as he assured to her that it was accidental and no perverted thoughts are involved, while Izumi blushed as well after catching a glimpse of the bulge on Haruhiko's crotch area of his pants.
By then, Kurumi Kumamakura arrived and blinked her eyes seeing Haruhiko and Mai WRESTLING, and she asks Izumi what is going on, and Izumi waved her hands and said that the two are just playing, as she did not want Kurumi to find out the reason due to Kurumi's young age and innocent nature, and came up with some alibi so as not to give the youngest member any risque ideas.
"Um...Haruhiko-san played a joke on Mai-san...and got angry...so she is just retaliating..."
"Really, Reina-senpai...?"
"Yes, Kurumi-chan..."
"..."
"Don't worry...they'll stop..."
"Really...?"
"Uh-huh."
"Okay."
Likewise, Haruhiko and Mai stopped ceased their antics upon seeing Kurumi, and she whispered to him that she will continue the punishment later, and went to Kurumi to greet her, and as the scene went peaceful for a while, Minase was the next to arrive, and saw that things appeared peaceful, and is considering on opening the discussion about early morning's incident, but hesitated upon seeing Kurumi, as she knows that Kurumi is too young to understand such topics that only teenagers and adults can relate on certain topics.
Minase discreetly glanced at Kurumi, seeing her innocent nature, and she is now sure that she the youngest member of Team E should not be involved, and is considering in telling Himeno about this, but Ruru noticed Minase's odd behavior and discreetly approached her and asks what is wrong and why is she glancing at Kurumi like that, and after going to a corner, Minase reluctantly told Ruru what she has in mind, and Ruru nodded understandably about it.
Both glanced at Kurumi, seeing that she is chatting happily with Mai, and they came to an agreement that they should keep Kurumi out of this case due to her age and sensitivity of the topic, not to mention that there is a possibility that the culprit may be a perverted Phantom and if Kurumi were to fall victim she may get traumatized and leave her in a devastating state.
"You may be right, Koito...I think Kurumi should stay out of this case..."
"Yes...and if the culprit is a phantom she might be targeted..."
"Indeed...I could imagine..."
"Though her ability to summon her teddy bear can be an asset...it would be best if the pervert only knows that we are after him and not Kurumi, Ruru."
"Right."
"Should we tell Homeno to have Kurumi go home?"
"Yes, Ruru. This would be for the best."
"I agree."
By then Himeno arrived and saw that all members of Team E are assembled, and as the members stood and greeted her, Minase asks Himeno to step outside, and outside, Minase asks her if Team E is summoned to discuss about the recent spate of mysterious rape cases, which Himeno nodded, and there Minase tells her that they have to keep Kurumi out of this due to her young age and the sensitivity of the topic, which Himeno realized that Minase has a point.
The two discussed a bit more before they re-entered the meeting room, and Himeno gently spoke to Kurumi outside the room and gently told her that she won't be participating in a case saying this one would involve high school matters but said she will be summoned if the need arises, and Kurumi nodded believing that it is okay, unaware of the real reason why she is going to be excluded in the upcoming mission, which Himeno is silently relieved as she knows that Kurumi might get uncomfortable should she find out about the upcoming case.
As Kurumi left to go home, Himeno went back inside, and there she commences the start of the meeting, but then Izumi noticed that Kurumi is gone and asks Himeno what is going on, which Haruhiko and Mai also noticed it, and there Himeno went straight to the point and told Team E the reason for this meeting, and a few minutes into the discussion, Team E, except for Minase, were quite shocked upon hearing it, with Mai infuriated, Izumi speechless, and Haruhiko clenching his fists, after they were told by Himeno that the incident early in the morning was the 7th time, and speculated that it may be the work of a Phantom, in which Minase told the rest about the intel she got, saying that her sources told her that the latest victim was indeed raped, but is unable to recall how it happened and said that the victim only recalled that she passed by an alley and her mind went blank, and upon regaining conscious she was naked and VIOLATED.
While Izumi sympathizes with the victim, Mai's fist clenched and said she is in and wants to investigate the matter, while Haruhiko was silent, as he has never been involved in such a case, and as Ruru peered closer, she told Haruhiko that this discussion is the reason why Himeno excluded Kurumi for this matter, in which he nodded in agreement as he realized that Kurumi is better off not getting involved in this matter.
"I see...so that's why..."
"Koito is doing this for Kurumi's sake...and safety...so it's better for Kurumi to stay out of the streets for now, Haruhiko."
"I understand."
"Looks like Team E will be short-handed a bit..."
"We'll manage. Stopping the culprit is important, Ruru."
"Right..."
"Let's focus on the case.
"That's the spirit!"
As the discussion went on, Himeno showed slideshow images of the seven rape victims, with the 7th one being the recent, which happened earlier in the morning, and Himeno revealed that one of her contacts interviewed the 7th victim earlier and according to her source, the victim said that the night before she was molested in a snack bar and accuses the bartender if the act but her claims was dismissed after the bartender has a solid alibi, and Himeno said that this further gave her the reason to believe that a Phantom may be involved in this.
Haruhiko then stood up and asks Himeno how such a Phantom be spawned and who is behind this Phantom's creation, seeing that this would not be done unless a perverted person with a sick mind is behind this, which Himeno reluctantly nodded.
"I understand how you feel, Ichijo-kun...but..."
"Sensei...do you have any idea or leads on who..."
"Unfortunately...I am still investigating the matter..."
"Do you think Aylashiki is involved in this...?"
"I'm still investigating it..."
"Tch..."
"Haruhiko...ease up...
"Mai..."
Mai calms Haruhiko down and asks Himeno if the workers at Aylashiki, who have been arrested, are involved, and Himeno said that her sources are investigating them at the moment, and there she asks the Team E members if they are willing to accept this case and investigate, in which they all stood up and voiced their response, much to Himeno's approval.
"I accept."
"Count me in."
"I want to help."
"My fists and feet will do the work!"
"Thanks, Team E...this mission may be dangerous..."
"We can take it..."
"Nothing we can't handle..."
"We won't back off..."
"Yeah!"
However, Himeno's phone rang and she answered it, where she had a dismayed look before turning the phone off, and there she told Team E that an 8th rape victim is found at an establishment near Hosea Academy, which Haruhiko and Minase stared wide-eyed, and the Team E members, sans Kurumi, left the meeting room and are running towards the school gate to head for the target area, and Haruhiko gives Minase some instructions which she nodded in agreement.
"Minase...search the area around the target scene...try to sense if the Phantom is nearby..."
"Got it!"
"Reina...you and Mai stick together...see if you can find the Phantom...but try not to go one-on-one...we can't afford letting the culprit turn one of you into the 9th victim..."
"I understand, Haruhiko...!"
"Mai...protect Reina...!"
"You got it!"
"Let's go!
"Right!"
As the Team E members ran past the school gate, they are heading east-bound where the nearby establishment is located, but at a certain distant, someone is watching them, and is focused straight at Izumi and Mai, in which the unseen character has a hint of interest seeing how LOVELY the two students appeared and is eager to see where this lead to.
"Mmm...yummy...a pair of beauties...
To Be Continued...
Hope you like this chapter though there is no action yet, most of the Team E members are assembled, yet Kurumi is kept out due to the nature of the case, and the antagonist has appeared, though indirectly, at the end. Worse...the antagonist has shown an interest in both Reina and Mai.
