His biggest problem was his inability to make a decision. Well, maybe. He wasn't quite willing to commit to something like that. He was pretty sure he had a bunch of other faults as well, like overthinking things and missing the obvious which might be bigger... But he was pretty sure that his inability to make a simple choice was definitely an issue he had. Maybe.
"Hey there buddy!" Hatta said. "Man, you look glum for a guy who spent an afternoon staring at two hot babes in bikinis."
"I'll have you know that I was working," he sniffed. "I'm not showing you any of those pictures either, so forget it."
"Really now, is that the impression I give off?" Hatta asked, and do you know he could almost see the halo overhead. As well as the devil horns behind it. "Actually, I was wondering if you could ask Madoka to give my binoculars back? She took them away from me, because she said I was going to use them to peek on girls."
While the two perverts were no longer spooked by the rumors about Madoka’s ‘delinquent past’ they knew to back down when she put her foot down. He wished he had that kind of assertiveness. Maybe. Wait didn’t everyone hate him that time he’d accidentally hypnotized himself to be more assertive?”
"Alright, fine. I'll go ask her for the binoculars," Kyousuke said. He rose, and as he walked away, he turned around and said "But you had better not use them that way, alright?"
"Scout's honour!"
As if he was ever a boy scout. Either way, he wandered off to try to find Madoka. Except... The moment that he was out of sight, Manami teleported in behind Hatta and then teleported him elsewhere. Where to, you ask? Well...
"Oh hey! There you are!" Hatta said, stepping out from behind a tree. "So? What was it you wanted to meet up with me to talk about?"
Enter one confused Kyosuke. Not that this was an especially difficult thing, but...
"Wait, didn't I leave you over there?" he asked, pointing back the way he'd come.
"What? No. You asked to meet up out back. I got a bit lost, so it's lucky I found you. So? You got those pictures of the two girls at the shoot? That's what you promised..."
Now, Kyosuke was not the smartest boy around. He really wasn't. However, even he was capable of some basic pattern recognition. Hatta was somehow in two places at once, talking about a conversation he didn't remember them having. This left two distinct possibilities at play, and the best way to resolve this would be...
"Come with me," he said, grabbing hold of Hatta and hauling him back the way he came. Little noticing Hatta grinning like the cat that caught the canary, and giving his sister the thumbs up.
Meanwhile, back where Kyosuke and Hatta had initially been talking, Kurumi was walking around with Akane.
"Here!" Kurumi said. "I think this is the perfect place to set your trap! Don't you think?"
"Yeah, this should be perfect," Akane grinned. She held up her hands as if framing a shot. "Those pervy boys won't know what hit them."
"Great! I'll just go get Madoka and fill her in," Kurumi said, and then she skedaddled off, leaving Akane standing there nodding and smirking to herself, eagerly anticipating the chance to not only see Madoka in that sexy bikini, but also the chance to trick those boys. It was foolproof. It was perfect.
"This is going to be the best prank I've ever pulled," Akane cackled.
"Oh really? Do tell!" Kyosuke said from right behind her. "You're not causing trouble again, are you Akane?"
"Now Kyosuke, I'm sure she wouldn't do anything like that," Hatta said, smirking triumphantly. Akane made a strangled sound of frustration right about then. Oh, crap! "Maybe this is another of those wacky misunderstandings you've been having lately?"
But Kyosuke was ignoring him. He grabbed Akane's arm and hauled her away for a quick private chat about the appropriateness of using her esper powers for the purposes of pranking people that didn't know about them while Hatta whistled, stuck out his hands - and then the twins teleported right next to him and pressed their bodies up to either side of his.
"Good work girls," Hatta said. He held his hands around their waists and pulled them into a nice tight embrace. "Now he'll be keeping a much closer watch on Akane, so she won't be able to pull anything much, while we'll be able to set off just about whatever we like."
It was the perfect plan. Except, of course, that Hatta had failed to take into account Kyosuke's indecisiveness. Since he was able to perfectly read girls, but couldn't read boys worth a lick... well, that might come back to bite him some time in the near future.

It might seem strange to some, that a girl like Hikaru might fall so hard for a guy like Kyosuke. The reason was pretty simple though. It came down to the cool factor. You see, being cool is pretty simple. You don't let things bother you. Don't show off, just... be. Hikaru had seen it. She'd seen what he was capable of. When he really wanted to put the effort in, Kyosuke was really, really cool.
Of course she didn't know anything about the esper powers, but if she did it wouldn't change her feelings about him. Not remotely. Not at all. Still. She couldn't help but feel frustrated of late. Their relationship hadn't advanced at all. They hadn't kissed or anything. She'd hoped that showing off for him today in her bikini would awaken something in him, but...
"But he's gone back to his routine behaviour, leaving you frustrated," Komatsu said. "You've got to realise, Hikaru. It's not just about what you wear, but the attitude you show while wearing it. With the right attitude, you can have guys tripping over you in no time flat."
"Attitude, huh? YOu think I don't have attitude?" Hikaru sniffed.
"Not that kind of attitude," Komatsu said. "Look, it'll be easier if I show you. Try taking a step under my guidance, okay?"
Well... Okay then. His hands went to her hips, and she took a step forward. He followed along, and his hands gently adjusted her posture and gait as she stepped. It felt a little weird, like she was rolling her hips in a way she wasn't used to.
"It'll feel weird at first," Komatsu said. "Focus on the one you like. Picture his face in your mind. That should make it easier."
"Okay, fine..." Hikaru said. She closed her eyes and thought of him. Ah! Kyosuke's handsome face quickly filled her thoughts. She smiled faintly and took another step... But then his face was joined by someone else. Senpai. Madoka's beautiful features. Right next to Kyosuke. "Uh..."
"Don't fight it, let it in," Komatsu insisted, and the two of them took another step together. "Use that butt to land your man."
"Use my... butt?" Hikaru repeated. Another step. This time it felt a lot more natural. She imagined herself walking like that. In front of Kyosuke. In front of Madoka. She imagined the two of them watching after her as she strutted around in a tiny pair of shorts. She imagined herself bending down to pick something up, and the two of them are utterly mesmerised by her ass. It made her feel all funny in her tummy. "Yes, use my butt..."
"Good girl," Komatsu said. "You're already strutting like a pro. Er, bad choice of words... Strutting like you've done it for years? Anyway! We're not done yet, we've got a whole lot more to learn before you're ready to seduce your man! By the time I'm done he won't be able to take his hands off you!"

Given half the chance many men might kill to be in this room right about now. The reason for that was staring Madoka right back at her from this full body mirror. She was standing in her room in the cabin, wearing this bikini that Akane had given her so they could prank the boys.
It was a simple enough prank, and she was certainly frivolous enough to go along with it. Besides, they needed to be put in their place. Trying to spook innocent girls with ghost stories... How thoroughly wicked of them! Her role was to pretend to be the ghost herself.
Which involved her wearing this bikini because... A lure? Or something? It was strange, Akane had explained it all in quite a lot of details not five minutes gone, but she couldn't quite grasp it. Madoka would show up dressed up as a ghost with this string bikini on underneath, then grab Akane and the two of them would hide somewhere for a couple of hours in a closet and then... Something?
"It probably doesn't matter," she shrugged. Then she leaned out into a seductive pose. "I'm overthinking things. Maybe I should ask Akane if I can borrow this for the shoot tomorrow?"
Maybe not. Madoka was feeling strange ever since coming up here. She was usually quite flirtatious. Mostly for the fun of it. Today though... Today felt different. Her and Hikaru had been joking about having a three way relationship with Kyosuke, but the more she thought about it the more - how to put it - fun? Yes, fun. It sounded like fun.
It was a little bit frustrating if she was being honest. If Hikaru hadn't been dating Kyousuke... she might have... Maybe she could have dated him herself?
A knock on the door brought her out of it. She grabbed a bathrobe and threw it on. "Who is it?" she called.
"Kurumi! Can I come in?"
Kurumi? What did she want? Madoka opened the door to let her in, and the twin girl was standing there smiling brightly.
"Sooo..." Kurumi rolled on the balls of her feet with her hands behind her back. "I think we need to have a chat about my brother... Mind if I come in?"
- Akane manages to convince Kyosuke that the two boys are the ones up to something.
- Hikaru's training continues.
- Hatta's plan for Madoka proceeds without issue.
- Later, everyone gets together for game night.
- Something else
