Story: Negima C+S

 

It was a difficult thing to do, deciding on who to recruit next. Anyone could be compromised.  And yet, Asuna had no intention at all to let that get in their way. The best thing for them to do was go out, find potential recruits and then test them. Make sure they weren't perverts. Then, inform them of the situation and get their help in putting a stop to - whatever nonsense Chamo was up to now.

"This seems a little pit voyeuristic," Mana complained. "I do not feel comfortable with my talents being used this way."

"It's okay, it's not dirty," Asuna said. "We're just, you know, spying on a girl in her place of residence without her knowledge or consent to check if she's doing anything naughty."

"Ohohoho!" Ayaka laughed. "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

Asuna puffed out her cheeks. Actually, that had been quite accidental. Perhaps being around those perverts all day had done something to her brain? Anyway! To explain what was going on in more detail: Mana was peering into Zazie's window to see what the girl was doing. Zazie was a bit of a loner. Kinda weird. Not especially friends with anyone else in the class. That made her seem like a pretty good target for recruitment. A bit of a loner, less likely to be specifically sought. Chamo would be more likely to get girls that had big friend groups so she could get close to them, you know? Spread his influence further?

Or maybe he'd do the opposite...? Either way, they were watching now, and hoping that Zazie wasn't doing anything too dirty.

"She's watching a gymnastics show," Mana said. "Lots of girls in skimpy leotards doing high kicks and various forms of athletics."

... Not the best sign, but not necessarily a disaster either? People watch those kinds of shows for non-perverted reasons. Maybe she genuinely likes gymnastics? It wasn't like they were aware of her hobbies or interests, especially. It basically told them nothing at all. It wasn't as if the girls were naked or anything...

"Further testing is required," Asuna said. "Good work Mana. Next up, we need to figure out a way to properly test her."

"I take it you have an idea in mind?" Ayaka asked, almost mockingly. Actually, as a matter of fact, she had the perfect plan.

<hr>

"Coming!"

That was Zazie, rushing to her door and throwing it open upon hearing a knock that was quite unexpected. What did she find there? Why, no less than Ayaka, Asuna, Mana, Kazumi and Yue. Quite the eclectic group, coming to meet a somewhat eclectic girl!

"Hi!" Zazie said. "How can I help you today?"

"Ahem!" Ayaka coughed. "It has come to my attention that we know precious little about your interests," Ayaka said. She made a show of peering past Zazie to see her television. "And, I can see just now that you are watching... a gymnastics competition. That being the case, Kazumi here was interested in taking up gymnastics, and we would like your opinion on the matter."

Kazumi grit her teeth, and shot a look over towards Ayaka that said 'I thought you were taking it!' Alas, Ayaka had decided to pass the buck, and now the reporter was left holding the bag.

"Yeah, I- I'm really interested in doing a report about... Gymnastics all of a sudden," Kazumi said. Then, looking down, she realised she was holding her camera. "Ignore that. Reflex, reflex. Uh, can we come in?"

"You want to learn about gymnastics?" Zazie said, looking at the group with great and obvious excitement. "Then come in! Please, please come in! Oh, but do you have your own leotard? I have a one size fits all that you could try if you'd like."

Ding! An alert went up over all their heads. "Ah, but wouldn't that mean changing in front of everyone?" Kazumi asked.

"No, no, don't be silly," Zazie said. "Change in the bathroom, the bathroom!  They are quite modest leotards, there's nothing to worry about at all."

Ah, of course. Zazie was at least giving Kazumi some privacy to change clothes. That was a bit of a relief, as that wasn't overtly perverted, in fact it was quite a normal thing for her to do. Also, there wouldn't be any hidden cameras or anything like that in the bathroom, since they had dropped in on Zazie unannounced!

While Kazumi changed, the others looked around Zazie's living room with great care. Her bed was over there in the corner. There was a little space for breakfast, and - There was actually surprisingly little here to really tell them much about her. Except for this weird snowglobe sitting on the middle of the kitchen counter, which all the girls gradually gravitated towards. There was a spinning ballerina inside. That doesn't seem too odd, right? Well, it wouldn't be... except for the mask the ballerina was wearing.

"Is that supposed to be a tiger, or an Oni, or... What?" Asuna asked.

"I don't know, I just thought it looked cool!" Zazie said. Right. Okay. Still nothing here to say one way or the other if she'd been pervified. Which was a bit annoying. Although... all of them had been crowded around this snowglobe kind of bent over and so far as Asuna could tell she hadn't either checked them out or tried to grope them. That was a positive sign, right?

Anyway, Kazumi left the bathroom shortly thereafter, wearing a fairly standard leotard. The waist wasn't abnormally high, it decently covered everything it was meant to. It was a practical outfit for gymnastics. Though, now she was rubbing the back of her head in obvious confusion.

"So, uh, how are we gonna do anything in a cramped space like this?" she asked.

"Oh, that's easy!" Zazie said. "You don't need to do cartwheels or leaps to enjoy gymnastics! In fact, the best way to start is with simple stretches...." She trailed off after a moment. "Uh... Aren't the rest of you getting changed, too? It would be kind of weird for only Kazumi to be doing these stretches... unless you're secretly hoping to perv on her?"

No! The situation had been turned around on them from out of nowhere! Truly, Zazie was a devious foe. There was a certain amount of sense to it, though.

"Do you... have enough leotards for all of us?" Mana asked.

"Yep, yep! Always gotta keep spares, just in case!"

That was kinda weird, maybe? It was hard to tell. Trying to figure out if Zazie was acting weird was like trying to guess if someone had dropped some water from the ocean into a lake. It was possible, to be certain, but you'd need some decent knowledge of the subject beforehand as well as certain keen instruments that could detect the difference.

A few minutes later they were all dressed up in snug fitting leotards. In one sense this was the ultimate test for whether or not Zazie was a pervert. Then again, technically didn't this prove it?!

"So, how do we start off?" Ayaka asked, with her hands on her hips, proudly standing there with her leotard on. Looking Asuna up and down with a condescending sneer. Oooh! Did she have to recruit this girl again?!

"Begin with limbering up!" Zazie said. "Go ahead girls, touch your toes!"

Hrm. That could be pretty perverted... except there was no sign of anyone behind them. They were all standing in a line, with Zazie in front of them. This seemed pretty safe? So all four of them did indeed bend over to touch their toes, though a wary eye was being kept upon Zazie the entire time.

"One! Two! Three! Four!" Zazie chanted away, quite happy and content. Oof! She wasn't half putting them through their paces, was she? Wait! Was she trying to make them work up a sweat so the leotard became - No, it didn't seem so. The fabric was absorbing the sweat just fine. Huh. "Now lift your hands into the air! Keep those arms limber, everyone!"

Up their arms went, and Zazie had them waved around. Huh. She really wasn't doing anything too weird here, was she?

"Now lean over, twist your hips around," Zazie continued, and - really now? "Oh! Yue, not quite like that, you'll hurt yourself. Let me get that for you..."

This was it. The moment of truth. Zazie's hands were reaching out for Yue's sides, adjusting her position, her posture and not actually touching her in a perverted or gross way at all! Aha! A pervert in that position would have absolutely taken the opportunity to cop a feel, but Zazie didn't do anything of the sort!

If anything could count as definitive proof, it had to be that! A pervert would definitely run their hands along Yue's sides, maybe 'accidentally' touch her butt, or squeeze her hips, or - She was thinking way too much about this. The point was, Asuna was convinced that Zazie was not, in fact, a pervert! A little weird, maybe, but not a pervert!

"Okay! Think that's good enough, what do you guys think?" Asuna asked.

"Hrm... I think she should be okay," Ayaka said.

"Indeed, this seems like a quite genuine training session," Mana added.

"Ahahaha, it did get the blood pumping, didn't it?" Kazumi flexed a muscle

"I was enjoying that..." Yue muttered to herself.

"Hrm? Is something wrong?" Zazie asked, obviously confused by the conversation's new direction, or probably the fact they had all stopped working out. "Is gymnastics not to your taste after all?"

"No, I mean, it kinda isn't - but that's not the point!" Asuna said. "Listen, Zazie. This is going to sound quite hard to believe, but -"

<hr>

A few minutes go by, and Zazie clucks to herself, thinking about the story that Asuna had told. It was quite a fun story. She liked fun things like that. Haha! They were so worried about her that they wanted to make sure that she hadn't been perverted by Chamo. That was quite funny. It was a good test. Getting themselves into skimpy leotards and flaunting their bodies in her living room would be a pretty good test, after all, she'd hardly be able to stop herself, right?

Unless... It was even more perverted to, say, infiltrate their group and corrupt them from within. That would be a more perverted thing to do, right? Well. They soon filed out, having welcomed her into the group, and now she was going to the washing area to make sure these leotards got the scrubbing they needed.

Oh, and while she was there, might as well make sure that the hidden camera in the bookcase was operating perfectly. Teehee! It was a good thing Chamo had warned her there were prudes on the loose, otherwise she might never have thought up this devious trap!
