Plan. Operation To Eradicate Stalkers

(Hmm, how can I get Serai-san to come back home?)

I pondered over that even the next day. In the grand scheme of things, it was quite a luxurious dilemma.

"""""Noisy..."""""

"Zukki-san? It's your turn next."

"Oh, right. My bad."

I'm currently in a school for chiropractic therapy, and classes are in session. We need to focus on our studies.

"All right, let's begin the treatment, Sato."

"No... I'm Kato."

Wait, the one lying on the bed is Kato, and I just called out to Sato. You guys look so similar in height and hair color that it's hard to tell you apart. Change your hair colors to red and blue. That'll make it easier.

"Okay, let's go! Ultra-fine Seismic Rupture!!"

"Gyaaaahhh! (Trembles intensely)"

Let me explain. Ultra-fine Seismic Rupture is a special technique where I touch the person's body and deliver powerful vibrations. It may appear as if I'm shaking my arm, but I unleashed these vibrations with precision and agility about 20 times that of an average person. Hence, the body receiving these vibrations feels like it got liquefied, just like the ground during an earthquake, making it all soft and wobbly.

"P-pshuuuuu... Uuuu... (Feeling drained)."

"All right, it seems like the muscle tension is gone. Now, let's move on to the next treatment..."

I woke up Kato, or was it Sato? Anyway, I get them to sit at the edge of the bed. Then, I climb onto the bed, position myself behind them, and lock their waist in a figure-four hold.

"Buppigan! Checking the pelvic bone hold. Next, I'll perform the skull hold. (Gashii!)"

"Ugh...? Zukki-san?"

"It's okay. I'll about to elongate the cervical and thoracic vertebrae and execute a stress-free sequence on the intervertebral discs. Now, take a deep breath, exhale, impact in 5 seconds. Three, two, one, impact! (Guiii!)"

([Crack, crack, crack, crack]!!)

"Gwaaaaahhh!!"

The extended spine of either Kato or Sato lets out a loud creak, followed by their screams.

"W-what is this!?"

Oh, good reaction from Muto-san, the burly guy with the bulldog face. What do you think? This is my signature move, the Head Hanging Impact. It's a technique that relieves the intervertebral discs, the cartilage between the bones, from stress caused by gravity. I call it a finishing move, but it doesn't actually kill anyone.

"How's that, Kato... or was it Sato?"

"My nerves are tingling, and my head feels like it's getting squeezed..."

"Haha, that's expected. You can rest until the numbness subsides. Breathe slowly. By the way, how's your nasal congestion?"

"Huh? (Sniffle). Wow, it feels so much clearer!"

"Yeah, that's right."

Actually, thanks to my recent meditation practice, I can vaguely see auras and energy flows now. According to that, Kato or Sato, the one I just treated, had congestion in their nasal area. So, while I performed the chiropractic treatment, I projected my energy to clear the blockage in their energy flow too.

"When the cartilage in the cervical spine gets compressed and protrudes, it puts pressure on the nerves and blood vessels passing through the neck. So, for someone with nasal congestion, extra blood was accumulating in the nasal area. Now that the spinal distortion and cartilage protrusion have been corrected, blood flow has improved, and your nasal passage is clearer."

"Wow... I had no idea. Thank you so much. That was quite a surprise..."

"You're welcome."

As practitioners dedicated to improving each other's skills, we exchange thanks and make way for the next person.

"This is amazing, Zukki-san! Can you teach me what you just did?"

The only girl in our group, Gotou-chan, who's slightly tanned with freckles but has cute canine teeth, approached me. She's adorable.

"Well, um, what I just did might be difficult for you. You need to build more muscle strength first."

"Oh, really..."

"Then, Zukki, how do you do that super subtle thing? Can you teach me?"

A middle-aged member of the group who could raise the average age considerably, Muto-san, despite being quite tanned and having lots of wrinkles, might be considered cute by some due to his bulldog-like face. He often chats with me about ramen.

"Muto-san, Ultra-fine Seismic Rupture is essentially a power technique. You need to train by vibrating your arms to produce finer and more powerful vibrations than an electric massager."

"Ah, I see. Mm! (Shaking vigorously)."

"Well, you know... I wonder if everyone could watch me perform my treatment too..."

Sato or Kato, who had just been on the receiving end of the treatment, now looked sad as they talked to us. Yeah, I get it. We're watching, so do your best.

The recent incident with the "Admirers of the Guild Receptionist-chan" group came to my mind. They had treated Serai-san as a fantasy guild receptionist and observed from a distance, which was somewhat annoying but harmless. They received a stern lecture from Serai-san herself, apologized, and deleted the secretly recorded video, resolving to disband. They might still hang around Serai-san a bit, but it shouldn't be a problem.

The real issue was that Serai-san, claiming, [There's still a stalker after me!], continued to stay at my place. With her around, I couldn't go dungeon diving in the fridge. I couldn't generate my electricity with peace of mind. She also had about 3 times the abilities of an average person. 

So, if I were to do something like self-generating electricity in the room, she might sense the residual energy and figure out what was happening.

So, I decided to consult with Nina-san, hoping she might have a solution. She's more mature and composed than me, and understands Serai-san's personality well. I thought she might think of something good.

And so, I shared the details with Nina-san over the phone. She would likely also hear Serai-san's side of the story, but I emphasized that despite all that, Serai-san kept saying, [There's still a stalker after me!] and continued to stay at my place. I also mentioned my concerns about living together for an extended period, even though she's her best friend, and despite the difference in gender.

About two hours after the call ended, a message titled [Stalker Eradication! Exciting Homecoming Bait Operation!] arrived.

Upon checking it, the contents were as follows:

1. Serai-san and Nina-san, acting as bait, would roam around places where the stalker might be watching.

2. Serai-san and Nina-san would go into restaurants and drink alcohol while pretending to be drunk.

3. The tipsy Sekai-san and Nina-san would return home, acting wobbly.

4. After returning home, Nina-san would leave Serai-san's room. However, she'd leave all the doors open and make it look like Serai-san was defenseless due to being drunk.

5. If the stalker had been watching and saw the vulnerable Serai-san, they'd surely enter the room.

6. That's when I would capture them.

"This is perfect!"

It's a flawless plan. What a brilliant honey trap. With this, there's no doubt the stalker will fall into the trap. I was impressed by Nina-san's strategic thinking. She's truly remarkable.

[Please cover the expenses♪] was also written, which is so Nina-san, shrewd and clever.

[I'll cover the expenses, so could you bring Serai-san into this?]. I gave the green light, and shortly after, a message from Serai-san came in: [It sounds like something out of a spy movie, so I'll invite Shark too!]. It seemed that Nina-san had persuaded her well.

But, Shark is also joining in? Since that beach trip, Serai-san, the cute, well-endowed college student, had been in frequent contact with Shark, the high school girl who, despite her sharp tongue, had a surprisingly large bust. 

Haha, it's getting interesting.
