Tomoko listened for a few moments to the various proposals presented from across the room. Most of them were sound, though Akari had already noted why oni were unlikely and the less said about the 'big bad wolf' the better. Indeed, it was clear that everyone present had done some real thinking! Not that she needed this sort of assistance, but it was sometimes useful to have other people thinking for themselves! She did pause a moment to eye Kaori as she tripped the yuki-onna strategically. After all, given the jorogumo's past, well, noting what she was doing when a cute girl was so close to her was important. A yamauba would capture children to devour them. Some legends spoke of aobozu harassing children. Kappa had an entire legend around them attacking people, including children. And a kuchisake-onna would approach people at night, including children, with the question of her own beauty and a pair of enormous scissors. And, of course, a depraved human being could have abducted the children. Murdered them, abused them, or both. All of these could have been the perpetrator. And one was more likely then the others. "There sure are a lot of youkai who like attacking children," mused Tomoko as she leaned back in her seat, "Normally, that might make it challenging to figure out our culprit. But it's not so difficult when you have your wonderful intermediary and club president here, is it?" She flashed a smile towards the assembled club members as she rose to her feet, the bow in her hair bouncing. "Since most of your suggestions make sense based off the information we have, it would be a struggle to figure out which one makes the most sense. At least, at first glance," she continued, "But how many of those are known for their willingness to visit the city? These days, many of your child-hungry youkai aren't too fond of visiting populated areas." The blonde girl picked up her cane. "We could be looking at a human perpetrator, that's true. But if that were the case, I don't think anyone would have spoken to me," she continued. "I'll admit right now it's based on conjecture and hearsay, but I have a strong feeling about this. And so, we're going to go to the scene of the crime and have a chat with some witnesses." Given Tomoko's nature, it wouldn't take too much difficulty to understand who the 'witnesses' she mentioned were. There were no human beings who saw the crimes or knew anything about them... At least, there were no [i]living[/i] human beings. "Today's club activities will be spirit invocation~!" declared the short girl brightly.
