Hasshaku-sama? The name was vaguely familiar to Asahi, but it wasn't a creature she was overly-familiar with. If it were supposed to be a fictional being, then Asahi had probably not bothered to learn anything about it. She was certainly regretting that choice now, but at least they knew what they were dealing with now!

As for baiting this thing out... as much fun as it would be to have Tomoko play that role, it would be far more feasible to have the tiny oni act like a cute child, right? BEfore Asahi could voice this opinion, her mouth made a strange, high-pitched yelp when a loud yell sounded nearby, and a cold body suddenly clung to her arm, Cheeks flushed slightly, Asahi looked down at Mugi, then at the strange spider girl showing off her legs, quickly putting together what seemed to happen. Ugh, that darn arachnid had to go and embarrass her like that! Now wasn't the time to enact vengeance though, so she forced a wavering smile onto her face. It was a good thing she could blame her shaking on Mugi's frozen air.

"D-don't worry about that, you just st-startled me a little," Asahi chuckled, "anyway... about the b-"

Hold up. [i]Hold up[/i]. Did that bratty little terror just suggest [i]she[/i] be the bait instead?!

"Wa-wait a minute, wh-what does me being a fox have to d-do with anything?!" the class president stammered, completely missing the most obvious reason why a kitsune would be suggested to put on an act, "y-you're the small and cute one, Ibaraki-san! You'd be far more effective as bait!"
