Chapter 4
It’s difficult. There’s no other way to put it.
Student council president Sangou Chizuku’s beauty pageant has caused a sensation in the Seitetsu Academy. Until now, the beauty rankings were based on calculations exclusive to the Club of Beauty research, or simply at a “everyone says yes” level. But it has finally been established Officially (can you say that?). It’s no wonder everyone is excited.
Thanks to that, the other planned events have lost prominence and the executive committee has had a It was a difficult time. In the end, they decided to hold the beauty pageant on the first day of the cultural festivalThey tried to dispel the confusion. Even so, the excitement did not subside.
Had the timing been right, I surely would have been excited too. I certainly would have done it.
Whatever was necessary for Sakura-san. If I hadn’t participated.
No, I can’t just stand idly by. Even in this situation, I have to help Sakura-san.
However, instead of helping, I found myself increasingly trapped in a difficult situation. After all, Akane, who would be my partner in the women’s section, was in a bad mood the whole time time. I understand if she was upset in her furious dog form, but even before she transformed, she was frowning. Because of that, we couldn’t decide anything for the class project.
She used to greet me whenever I went to the women’s section, but suddenly she stopped. Literally, she stoppeHe was looking at me with disdain.
—… Uhm, did I do something to upset you?
I asked in a desperate tone, but he replied:
—No, not at all.
Hmm.
I suspect she might be fed up with class 2-4 in the girls’ section. Things are aggressive there.
They act strangely and only think the worst. It’s a terrible environment for Akane, who is shy and soft-spoken. She tries to keep her distance, and I was mistaken for one of them.

Confident in this assumption, I told Harakiritora; however, he responded with a laugh. Softly. This guy, if only he had laughed, but “no, that’s not true at all” was not what I expected. Meanwhile, oblivious to my emotions, the days passed mercilessly.
Preparations for the cultural festival were progressing at full speed. Large gates were being built in the In the garden, theater and music rehearsals were taking place in the gymnasium. During breaks and afterwardDuring classes, the sound of carpentry work could be heard constantly.
The full meetings of the organizing committee were held several times. Here too, Akane didn’t… I looked into her eyes, and Sakura-san was giving me competitive looks. Ugh.
Meanwhile, Shizuku was as calm as ever. She was handling the issues that arose one after another. Another one without problems. The meeting was progressing smoothly, all thanks to her. Shouldn’t she aspire President of a company instead of a comedian?
“Planning proposals have been submitted for each class,” Shizuku said at the general meeting. —There are certain imbalances. Two food and beverage proposals, seven haunted houses, six of exhibitions, six theater/music shows, and others… There are too many haunted houses, aren’t there? —Well, but…
A male student raised his hand in a corner.
—Since the male and female sections are separate, isn’t that okay?
—It has to be an even number. In fact, I’m concerned that there are so few food and beverage options. It could result in visitors just walking around.
Oh, yes! My class (at that time, I was a boy in the meeting) was talking about letting the visitors.
—Male section, class 2-4.
Distracted, I was suddenly called out by Shizuku.
—Y-Yes.
—Can I see your proposal?
Shizuku took a piece of paper and began to read.

—Is this a break room?
Her tone was cold, but it wasn’t exactly harsh criticism. Rather, the other students around me They seemed to be thinking, “What is that?” It’s no wonder. Last year, when we did a room of rest, we were criticized for being too simplistic.
I hurried to speak.
—Uuh, although it looks the same as last year, the concept is totally different. For visitors who
They will move between the male and female sections; we have prepared not only chairs in the classrooms, buWe’ve also provided cushions and blankets. We’ve created an environment where they can take off their shoeenjoy other classes…
The real objective was for them to enjoy the women’s section, collaborating with the Club of Beauty research to distribute the special role of the beauty pageant, with the intention of to establish a large base. Since Higashida, they have focused exclusively on the beauty pageant. Although my explanation was quite improvised, those present stopped doubting and listened with Admiration. However, Shizuku’s gaze was sharp. Ah, she’s noticed.
-I understand…
Perhaps because of my nervousness, Shizuku backed away.
—I admit it. Attach the budget. Also, the 2-4 class of the women’s section doesn’t have a plan of its own. same. Please submit it urgently.
In another direction, Akane responded with a “yes.” Shizuku’s line to me was the same as the one she said
earlier, which baffled those present. Hmm, was that sarcasm?
But anyway, what she said was correct. Class 2-4 of the girls’ section had absolutely no plan. They only prioritized that “Natsuru participate in the beauty pageant,” and everything else was nonexistenIt’s time to do something about it; it’s going to be a problem.
That was the morning I went to school thinking about these things.
—Natsuru-tan, Natsuru-tan.
When I arrived at school in the morning, the vice president signaled to me at the school gate. Yes, I’m in the form of a girl.
Kampfer – Volume 3
107
—What’s happening?
—Ufufufu.
She laughed maliciously. The vice president was like a little girl, with a mischievous air about to do something. mischief. And indeed, he did it. Therefore, I kept my guard up.
-… What do you want?
—Come this way.
He took me to a more discreet place. What’s going on? As much as there are many shady things going on, he Good so far.
—I don’t want Natsuru-tan’s fans to see us.
The vice president said. Indeed, there was a group of girls gathered in front of the school gate. They were Members of the “Become Natsuru-sama’s Sister Club.” If I approach carelessly, I’ll
They give gifts, love letters, and other things.
-I see…
—Sakura-san was looking for you too.
I glanced sideways. Among the girls gathered was Sakura-san. She was looking anxiously from side to side.
He was probably looking for me too, since I’m a girl.
If I happen to bump into her, I don’t know what she’ll say. Specifically, it could be a confession or a Request for a response to a confession. It’s sad to think about this, but as a woman, I do my best not to. I try to meet Sakura-san. I try to have as little contact as possible, and instead, it’s my male self who… meet with other people.
Since our eyes haven’t met lately, Sakura-san seems to be getting impatient. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I will help in the beauty pageant.
“Come here,” the vice president said as she circled the perimeter of the school and headed toward the buildingSecond year from the back. I was in class 2-4.
She stopped in the hallway. The vice president didn’t move.
—Natsuru-tan, look…
Kampfer – Volume 3
108
—If you want to talk, let’s go inside first…
—Well, let me tell you something.
She tugged at the sleeves of her sailor uniform.
—Natsuru-tan, I know you know what to do in the beauty contest.
-Yeah.
The details of the beauty pageant were recently confirmed. It was stated that “the participants will have to perfa performance on stage” and that “every student at Seitetsu Academy has one vote.” In other words, it’s about Show off your own charm. Even though it’s a beauty pageant at the high school festival, We can’t do anything too flashy. On the other hand, it would be boring for people to vote without seeing the evTherefore, they will have to perform.
That’s reasonable. Initially, things like “2000-meter Hurdles” and “Wrestling” were suggested. “Seahorses in the pool with only girls” at a general meeting. Although it was almost decided to hold the fight The idea of ■■improvising underwater seahorses was unanimously dismissed when Shizuku murmured
“Okay. I’ll participate too.” The look on her face was terrifying.
—Today is a training day because we want Natsuru-san to win.
-Training?
—A beauty pageant course especially for you, Natsuru-san.
—…And the class?
—The teacher is absent.
It was said that the class teacher skipped school to quickly join an online gaming event. That’s ok?
—We are united for Natsuru-tan.
—More importantly, we also need to decide on the lesson plan…
Akane is the way she is for a reason, so I’m getting pressured by the student council. Even so, the vice president continues to smile contentedly.
Kampfer – Volume 3
109
—It’s already decided.
-Oh really?
-Yeah.
She pricks up her ears.
—Come in.
It pulls me along. The classroom door opens.
-Welcome!
I was greeted with an enthusiastic voice.
The girls in the classroom look at me and bow. They don’t just bow their heads normally, they even… A small bow, lifting the hem of her skirt slightly. What’s going on here?
Inside the classroom, there are no bland tables and chairs. Everything is covered with white and pink tableclot
There are decorative flowers. The windows are adorned with ruffles and the lighting has been changed for somMore vibrant. Hey, there are even sofas in the background!
And the girls from before, they all switched to black dress-like skirts.
—Welcome back, master!
The president said so.
—Back again… they call me master…
—The plan for the girls’ class 2-4 has been decided. It will be a “Maid-style Cafe.”
-Coffee…
A tenth of my brain understood it. Oh, I see, is it because of the themed café? But the rest, ninety percent percent, he objects.
—President… will they all be dressed as maids…?
—It’s a “maid-style cafe,” so it’s natural.
She twirls gracefully. Her skirt rises gently. Ah, lovely!

Not only the president, but even the students who are normally blinded by desire had become Incredibly beautiful. Not only the clothes, but also those white accessories on their heads suited them perfectly.Very nice. They were wearing white socks and black low-heeled shoes.
Is it the genius of clothing or the magic power of clothing? Either way, it’s incredible. After all, Even the stingy treasurer seems to see the quiet, literature-loving employee as a glamorous and Beautiful maid. She always has money in her mouth, doesn’t she?
When I turned to look at Akane, she was huddled in a corner. Although she was wearing a maid uniform, her eShe seemed quite embarrassed.
“I suppose a coffee shouldn’t be a problem. The student council will approve it too,” she says. Class president. Of course, but a maid-themed cafe?
“It’s not just a coffee shop. It’s a coffee shop designed to help Senou-san win the beauty contest.”
-Hey…
—Senou Natsuru, a mysterious and beautiful maid participating in the beauty contest, who works She diligently works at the cafe dressed as a maid. If customers see her up close, they’re sure to come. Furthermore, if they fall in love with Senou, they’ll vote for her, killing two birds with one stone. So victory is hersafe.
Looking more closely, I saw white paper and pencils on the table. They weren’t ballots for the contest. beauty, but spaces to enter probabilities and bets.
—Are there bets too…?
—Yes, we’ll also have a betting shop. Although Natsuru-san’s odds are low, there’s still There will be those who are looking for a surprise, so there will surely be interest.
—He sounds like a professional gambler…
—That’s right, it can also be seen that way.
Students shouldn’t be doing these things, right?
Apparently there are employee cafes where customers and staff play games, but this is different. This It’s a game. Wouldn’t it be bad if we got caught doing this?

Of course, the girls in the classroom didn’t seem worried about that. In fact, under the leadership of the The vice president was encouraging them with “surely there will be big profits.” It seems I can no longer avoid it. Overwhelmed by a feeling of despair, I tried to leave. Where are you going?
The class president stops me.
—Just to shed a few tears…
“You’ll have to try on Senou-san’s outfit. It’s a kind of preparation for the beauty pageant.” *cries* later.
It didn’t seem like a preparation class. Despite my quiet complaints, I was dragged along several times forcefullThe place was a corner of the classroom that had been converted into a kitchen and dressing room. —Please change your clothes for now.
-… Yeah.
I resign myself and reach for the maid outfit. There were several hanging on steel hangers. Where did they coDid they take them out in such a quantity?
—The treasurer got them at an extraordinarily low price.
-Where…?
—It seems better not to ask.
Something unsettling again.
Should I put the clothes I took off in this basket? My valuables can only go in my own closet. But When I think about that, my hand stops.
-Hey…
-What’s happening?
—Let go of my hand…
As I try to close the curtain like a door to change, the vice president grabs my hand and doesn’t the release.
Kampfer – Volume 3
112
—I can’t stand the sight of Natsuru-san changing!
What? This is truly insolent! What’s more, the other girls agree.
—I want to see Senou-san’s underwear!
—What is your body like?
—Instead, get naked!
Each of you with those bright eyes, are you all middle-aged men or what? Or are you the type who On their blog profile they write “I like pretty girls”? When I hesitated, the treasurer pointed at me with a
I was wearing a maid outfit and the class president tried to take my sailor uniform away. -… Wait!
—I’ll take it from you.
—Hooray, Natsuru’s nakedness!
—You want money, right?
The skirt hook came undone and fell to the floor. Shouts of excitement.
The shorts were exposed. Blue stripes. Of course, they’re usually shorts.
from Ito-Yokado, but they even change their underwear when they transform. For some reason, the shorts They also change depending on the shorts you wear, and there seem to be a lot of stripes, which is kind of annI had some shorts so daring they looked like they were going to kill everyone in “sheer with “gold embroidery,” and I almost fainted.
The noisy spectators were excited, but some booed.
—Natsuru-chan, take them off yourself!
—Lift your skirt and I want you to look at me with pleading eyes.
It’s in really bad taste, seriously. Besides, this whole “wear it on top, but not on the bottom” thing is just plain bPretty geeky, isn’t it?
—Take off your top too!
-Fast!
Kampfer – Volume 3
113
I hadn’t intended to meet expectations, but the class president was a strong advocate of The customers. Slowly, untying the ribbon as if to provoke…, that alone provoked more enthusiastic shouts. The class president’s hand touched my clothes. Resigned, I raised both hands.
They slid in easily.
—Kyyaah, blue!
—They agree!
Actually, they didn’t match exactly, but when I transformed, the color of my underwear automatically changed. It was coordinated. In this case, the bra was blue, matching the shorts.
Couldn’t they contain themselves? One of the girls pulled out a cell phone and pointed the camera this way. H-Wait…!
—I’m going to take pictures!
-Me too!
That’s how the photo shoot began. Some of them were carrying not only digital cameras on their mobile phonebut also compact models that fit in your pocket and even high-end SLR cameras.
—Calm down, Senou-san.
The class president whispered.
“They won’t leak to others. It’s like an exclusive privilege of ours. After all, this school has few [students/studentamusements.
—Yes, yes. A secret pleasure.
The treasurer counted bills and did calculations. She even collected money from her classmates. I stood there in the middle of the flash, half-naked. Ugh, I feel so embarrassed that I could die. I’m not used to being stared at, whether as a man or a woman. Much less so. Being almost naked. Strippers and porn actresses are truly amazing. I really admire them. —Wow, you’re totally red!
—Make more embarrassed faces!
Kampfer – Volume 3
114
—Move your body more!
They talk however they want. And they’re all excited, each in their own way. Even Akane was watching. carefully without saying anything.
—Well, it’s time to get dressed again.
The class president urged. Once again, the treasurer tried to hand out the maid uniform. Again the boos.
—Hey, why don’t you take off your underwear too?
—All the clothes, top and bottom!
Absolutely not. As I mentioned before, even if I become a woman, I won’t go to the bathroom or take a bath. It’My identity as a man. What if I couldn’t transform myself by my own will? I really don’t want to. remember it.
—It’s just a preview. What’s happening now is the main thing.
Again, does this mean they’re finally planning to undress me?
Reluctantly, I put on the maid uniform. It feels different from everyone else’s.
I finished getting dressed and was stunned. The skirt was incredibly short. More than just above the knee, It was a line on the edge of what was visible or not. With her arms and shoulders bare, was this really a Maid outfit? The girls, as expected, applauded nonstop.
—Aww, how cute!
—It looks too good on you, it’s dangerous!
-Marvelous!
Wonderful? I complained to the president.
—Hey… This…!
—It’s the perfect size for you.
—This isn’t a maid costume…

It would be better for a barmaid; even in a bar you’d get more decent clothes. The president He shook his head.
—Okay. This is a maid-like café. It’s “like.”
—But this is ridiculous…!
—Customers are looking for the unusual, not a maid with historical accuracy. Service is what matters. Important. That’s the kind of appearance that’s good.
He may be right, but is acting directly on desire a service that a student of
Should I do secondary school?
—So, you saw this.
-Still…?
-Yeah.
The work of shaming continues. My heart was filled with resignation, completely subdued. Although it was better than before, this time it came with a large apron attached. It looks like I’m naked in it. apron in front.
—That’s fine, right?
The president was satisfied. It was your choice.
—With this, the boys and girls will be hooked. Frankly, they’ll want to become stalkers.
—Natsuru-san looks sexy. Is it okay to touch her butt?
—Should we establish a special fee for harassment?
—Please, no!
Unable to contain myself, I screamed.
—This is terrible…
—It’s not so terrible. Senou-san is very beautiful.
The president responded without losing her composure.
Kampfer – Volume 3
116
—Even I, being a woman, could fall in love.
—Even though you’re all dressed like normal maids…!
—It’s natural since Senou-san is highlighted. In the midst of the normal maids, an existence is mixed
Exceptional. Naturally, it attracts attention. The beauty pageant has been decided. -It just can’t be…!
That’s just nonsense. You’re all quite pretty too. Enter the contest.
My protests were completely ignored and they continued with the “Outfit Change Contest” “Senou Natsuru” (written on the blackboard without me noticing).
I didn’t have an ounce of energy left to argue. Since then, I’ve been subjected to a wide variety of costumes, they made me hold a whip and an air gun dressed as a maid. You, even They took the trouble to design small accessories.
They made me wear different outfits, took photos of me nonstop, and finally it was over. Hey, I want to ask, How do you get school credits?
—Now let’s move on to the real lesson of the beauty pageant.
After being photographed extensively with flash, the president declared.
They made me wear the first maid outfit again. One that left my shoulders bare and accentuated
the bust. Then they made me stand in the middle of the classroom.
-What the devil…?
—You will participate in the beauty pageant as a perfect “maid”. This is your training in customer service. customer.
Basically, they’re telling me to act like a waiter, right? Make sure you don’t contradict yourself in your lines. —Senou-san, do you have experience in customer service?
-No.
—Perfect, then two people can sit here.
Kampfer – Volume 3

There was a bit of a row among the girls about who would do it. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to do it, but everThey insisted on doing it.
Finally, two people sat down across from me at the table. They were the vice president and the treasurer. —What we will do now is how to deal with a problematic customer.
The president began to explain.
—Senou-san, please take the order. Both of you, try to give him as many difficult tasks as possible. Although they didn’t want to, the two women seated nodded vigorously.
The vice president’s hair was perfectly styled yet tousled. With just that, she conveyed a certain feeling. rudeness. The treasurer was as usual. This girl doesn’t really change her expression much. Someone brought a tray and glasses from somewhere. They handed them to me as if they were forcing them —Don’t forget to smile. So, let’s begin.
I tried my best to smile. I knew it was obvious it was forced. If Harakiritora saw me, he’d probably… He would laugh out loud.
—W-Welcome…
Trying not to be clumsy, I attempted to place the glasses on the table. The vice president gave me a stern look—Hey, big sister, you have quite large breasts. Is the latte free?
—Wh-…
I was speechless. Immediately, the president urged me to continue. My fake smile froze instantly. —I-I’m sorry for the inconvenience. Milk has an additional cost…
—Don’t talk nonsense. With those big things hanging…
The vice president’s hand reached out and touched my chest.
—Hyah!
Surprised, I dropped the tray. The sound of breaking glasses echoed through the air. —Stop!
Kampfer – Volume 3
118
The president applauded.
—Senou-san, it’s not right. Rude customers are everywhere. Only by handling them calmly and
One can appropriately be “like a maid”.
—That’s right, Natsuru-san. You’ll have to hold on a little longer.
The vice president said, still squeezing my chest, “Let go of me, there’s no bread dough in there!” Since I had no experience in customer service, I was speechless when they told me “you must “Endure.” But are all regular cafes like that?
—Also, since it’s a “maid-like cafe,” the welcoming phrase for customers is “Welcome back, master,” so as not to make any mistakes.
-Yeah…
A tray and a glass were delivered again. They were exactly the same. They definitely have a props manager for this class.
—Then let’s start again. Begin!
—… Welcome… no, “Welcome back, master”…
—Hey, I won today!
The vice president tapped a 10,000 yen bill on the table. This really looks like a “father who “He takes his son’s lunch money to go to the horse races.”
—I-Your… order is…?
—Milk. From the maid.
The treasurer, while appearing to read a complicated book, said:
—We regret to inform you that we cannot accept personal requests…
—Then, milk from there.
-Hey…
—It means milking nee-chan’s boobs. Hahaha!
Kampfer – Volume 3
119
The vice president was laughing hysterically. Why is this middle-aged woman such a good actress?
—Come on, spit it out here, spit it out. Do I have to milk you, you slowpoke?
—Milk is more delicious when it’s fresh.
Who are these people? The vice president kept banging on the table, laughing, while the treasurer didn’t He looked away from a book about stock investing. The spectators chuckled in the distance. Why do they mention something like “stroking the thigh at that moment”?
—Um… master… is your order…?
—Beer and dumplings.
—Steel shares.
—We don’t have either of them…
My facial grimaces wouldn’t stop.
—What? Well, then a soft drink will be fine.
—Shipbuilding stocks. If not, orange juice.
With a forced smile, I bowed and informed him “I took the order” as I retreated to the kitchen. The drinks are prepared immediately. However, there are only empty glasses. It seems it would be a
waste using them in practices.
I place them on the table, and I am dragged along by the vice president. —Hey, serve the drinks!
I was about to sit down in an empty chair.
—Okay, no problem. Besides, why don’t you sit on the boss’s lap? Guhuhu. —E-Eh…?
—It’s an interesting outfit. If I take it off, will it fall off?
—W-Wait…
A slippery sensation in the lower part of the body. What a fright!
Kampfer – Volume 3
120
—What a pleasant sensation to the touch.
The cashier had his hand inside her skirt. He was looking underneath.
—Stop… please, this…
Although I wanted to get angry, the president pulled out a sign that said “Do not abuse customers with violenceThe other girls kept saying, “Smile, smile.”
So, between shame and horror, I found myself twisting and laughing, in a humiliating position. The two at the table got excited and did whatever they wanted: lifting skirts, grabbing butts, putting their hands the neckline.
—P-… Please, master… please, master… Aahh, no…!
She only uttered pitiful whimpers of sorrow and humiliation. I may be right because I have woman’s appearance.
—S-… Really… please…
—The boss’s daughter doesn’t talk to us anymore. She doesn’t even bathe with us. So let us smell nee-chan’s —Can I rip these stockings? Of course you can.
—Please… please… that’s enough…!
I started wanting to cry. Or rather, I wanted to cry. Not even Gandhi would have imagined such resistance. Passive. Damn it!
—P-Please… stop now!
I wasn’t the one who shouted it.
From the back of the crowd, a voice called out. To my surprise, it was Akane.
—No-… There’s no need to go this far… Natsuru-san doesn’t want to…
“There is no room for resistance to training. Insubordination is not permitted. Sergeant Hartman” “She also said ‘put some effort into your head and your butt,'” the president replied coldly. —But… that way, Natsuru-san will break…
—Is Natsuru-san a household appliance?
Kampfer – Volume 3
121
—It really looks like it’s going to break…
It wasn’t entirely a lie. I sat on the floor and breathed heavily. I felt so ashamed and He was so humiliated that he could only describe it as a nightmare. He was about to say that He even planned to be hospitalized if this continued.
The president looked at me and said, “Okay, let’s end this here,” giving in. The vice president and the treasureThey were murmuring, “Natsuru-san is quite gentle,” “For a thousand yen, I can do it too.” The girls in the audience were saying to each other: “It’s quite a show,” “They should be a little tougher,” “But it’s exciting.” What does it mean to be “exciting”?
“Now, for the final event,” the president announced. What, is there more?
—The draw for the privilege of changing alone with Senou-san! The lottery tournament is underway! —Kyaahh!
The girls screamed like nightingales.
—An all-or-nothing competition: the selected person will make Senou-san wear a sailor uniform.
A private room will be prepared.
—Kyaahh, kyaahh!
—I’ll definitely get it!
-Me too!
They were at their highest climax so far. The feeling of relief she had felt earlier faded and it was replaced by a feeling of utter despair.
The treasurer had prepared the lotteries. There were enough chopsticks for everyone, and those who were Those painted red at the tip were prizes.
—Please, choose one.
Like ants swarming around sugar, the girls pulled on the chopsticks. At the same time, Voices of joy and sadness could be heard, like “Ahn!” or “I’m out!”. No, only sadness?

—Has anyone won?
The president asked. A hand went up in the back.
—Eer, it seems it was Mishima-san.
Indeed, it was Akane, with the red toothpick tip.
She timidly approached the front. Why on earth did she take out a ticket? —Yes. Please, Mishima-san, help Senou-san change here. For a limited time only, take your time.
She was taken to the dressing room area. The curtain closed along with shouts of “How lucky!” Everything was silent. They were probably listening outside anyway.
But being alone with Akane, how awkward.
—Natsuru-san…
-Yeah…
—Here… your uniform…
I received a sailor uniform. Uh, thanks.
To change, I’d have to take off my maid’s outfit. How embarrassing. It was a different feeling than… When my classmates saw me earlier. It’s not like I was getting naked.
Akane looked down. I’m sorry, can you wait a moment?
—Um… about the student council president…
—Eh… ah, that, uh, it was nothing.
I answered nervously. In a low voice so it wouldn’t be heard outside.
—We were just having a normal conversation. The president tried to do something strange for a It was a moment, but nothing happened. He was probably delirious from a fever or something, and that’s why h
Excuses. Damn it, I’m nervous about who I am.
-I see…
Kampfer – Volume 3
124
—So don’t worry, I hate the president too…
—I-I’m sorry, I was surprised too.
Akane bowed her head.
—Well, outside the door… I heard the president’s and Natsuru-san’s voices… I didn’t intend to I eavesdropped, but… by accident… And when the conversation stopped, I went in… and that happened… My heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, I remembered Shizuku’s face with her eyes closed. It was definitely “that”.
—So it was nothing…
—I understand, but… I ended up transforming without realizing it…
—It’s been a long time since I fought against the president.
I said it without thinking about anything in particular, but strangely Akane was puzzled. —Well, I thought I’d gained a rival… and I got a little excited…
A worthy rival. Sure, he’s an enemy, but can we really call him a decent rival? Shizuku only did She did that to make fun of me. What a nasty woman.
The outside world began to stir slightly. “They still enjoy undressing,” she said. Oh, that’s right. I need change my clothes.
I thought about changing quickly… but I don’t know how to take these clothes off. I didn’t choose them, they weI cared. It’s an extremely impractical garment.
It looks like there’s a hook in the back.
—Akane-chan, can you unbutton the back for me?
—Huh-…Huh!?
She shudders.
—I can’t do it alone.
—B-But, seeing Natsuru-san’s skin… is…

When she mentions it, I can’t help but notice.
—Please, just do it for a moment.
-Okay…
Akane trembles as she extends her hand. A click is heard. —Thanks… uh, could you unzip it too?
This time he did it silently. His back is exposed to the air. I thanked her again, but for some reason, Akane didn’t move. —Natsuru-san… uh… your skin is beautiful…
When I turned around, she was staring at me, blushing. Hey, wait a minute.
—Akane-chan, thank you… um, well… then…
—I-I’ll still… continue to help. Watching you change is, um, my right.
He told me firmly. This is getting weird, isn’t it?
Akane was removing the black straps from the maid’s dress. When she wears this outfit, she looks more like a She looked more like a prostitute than a maid. And she was wearing leather boots, too. Where did the treasureOnce again, her bra was exposed.
She stared at me from a short distance. Her light breath tickled me.
—Can I… touch the clothes?
He said it so seriously that I could only nod.
Her fingers soon slid down to her décolletage. As if hesitant to go directly there, she caressed her neckline. But that gave me a strange feeling of unease.
Moving on from low-cut necklines, I continued with the sides of the chest. More like “pushing” rather than simpl
“Closer.” Her fingers and palms moved in an enveloping manner.
Unlike when the vice president groped me without any regard, Akane didn’t grab me roughly, Instead, it made light contact. That sensation brushing against my skin literally gave me goosebumps.

Roz, roz, roz. A strange feeling was coming over me.
—That’s enough, isn’t it?
I stretched to move away.
—Just a little more…
Are you going to play anything else?
—… Are you looking for staff for the beauty pageant team?
—Hmm?
—If I can see your beautiful body, maybe I’ll want to join the team…
There’s no need to go that far.
Akane’s fingers were now about to reach his chest itself. Was she thinking of massaging it? At that moment, a strange noise was heard from the other side of the curtain.
Akane and I stopped. We overheard an exchange that went something like, “Please let me in.” “For free?” “I’ll pay whatever you ask.” What’s going on? The curtains suddenly flew open.
—Natsuru-san!!!!!
Someone who jumped in was none other than Sakura-san.
“Why don’t you want to see me? I can’t take it anymore…”
“Wow, stop yelling!” But her words surprised her. She looked at my hand and Akane’s. —Mi-… Mishima-san-san…
Sakura-san’s expression changed. Did she know Akane? Oh, are they both on the cultural festival committee? —What are you doing? How can you touch… Natsuru-san’s breasts…? That’s so enviable! I tried to pull Akane away. But unexpectedly, she hugged me.
—I’m… just helping her change her clothes. Please don’t say anything strange…
—I can help with changing clothes too. I’m even good with kimonos!

127
—I just want him to put on his uniform.
Sakura-san’s pushiness and Akane’s unexpected stubbornness. Since she doesn’t like Sakura-san, she wants to oppose everything he thinks of doing. This is a problem.
Having said that, I just stared in astonishment. Men really are useless in difficult situations. —Please step back, Mishima-san. I’ll be the one to help Natsuru-san.
—No, I have the right to do so.
—So, could you grant me that right?
—No, I don’t want to.
Behind the curtains, the treasurer can be heard happily saying, “Money, money!” How much did Sakura-san pThe argument continued. The beauty from Seitetsu Academy and the plain girl with glasses were sweating frostrain.
—… Mishima-san is very stubborn. Why are you so focused on Natsuru-san?

—It’s my turn! Sakura-san is the one being too persistent.
—That’s fine. Since I’m going to participate in the beauty contest with Natsuru-san, it’s only natural. —There’s no need for arguments. Th-Then I’ll help with the beauty pageant too. I’ll protect you,
Natsuru-san!
—What does it mean to protect? Natsuru-san is mine.
—That’s a lie!
—It’s not a lie!
Sakura-san is stubborn, Akane is obstinate, and I’m bewildered. The situation had truly become awful. Soon, Sakura-san said something shocking.
—Na-Natsuru-san is probably upset.
Hey, I don’t think about those things.
—Natsuru-san likes the boy Natsuru-san. That’s why there’s no chance… with Sakura-san. —I know. But I’ll make him notice me…
—I-It’s impossible. Because… Natsuru-san said he hates homosexuality.
I could see Akane’s tense expression for an instant.
—That’s impossible…
—Of course. I-It’s obvious… us, two girls…
Sakura-san fell silent. Then she looked at me.
I remained stunned, saying nothing.
She bit her lip and bolted out of the locker room. Outside, I heard “Whoa, run fast!” from the vice president.
Sakura-san had left.
It was embarrassing, but I was finally able to move.
—Sakura-san…

But she was no longer there. Sakura-san was holding my arm.
—Alright… Natsuru-san will be alright…
That?
—I’ll protect you from Sakura-san…
That’s comforting. But does it make sense?
Unable to clear up the misunderstanding, Sakura-san was nowhere to be seen. Had there really been a misunAkane seemed determined. At that point, I felt like clinging to those women who were interested in money. But outside, excited comments could be heard such as, “Does Akane have questionable taste?” “Natsuruchan It’s total chaos! That’s all I could think of!

The eve of the cultural festival. Preparations in each class were in full swing. There were differences in The progress of the preparations was underway, and some were even working all night against the clock. In our 2-4 year old class, tatami mats were set up, chairs were arranged, and blankets were prepared. It took nmoney. We borrowed the tatami mats from the judo club, so they were practically free. However, given that this is one of the points of contact with the Beauty Research Club aimed In Higashida, there were also preparations there.

The Beauty Research Club had a photocopier hidden somewhere in the school and used print excessive amounts of brochures. Of course, the content was about the beauty pageant. They partnered wjournalism club and they dealt with provocative topics.
—Here is the secret information about the beauty pageant contestants and the information to obtain
Tickets. Don’t miss it!
Hanzawa was holding up a brochure from the desk as he spoke.
—The old issues are hidden in the lockers. We’ll hand them out at the festival, but take care of them. Give them only to customers who want them. Only give them to those who have the redemption coupon. Instead of Higashida, this is in case the school catches him by mistake. He’s a person arrested instead. On the other hand, she is occupying a high position in her place.
—This one has the participants’ data with photos.
He waves a rather thick leaflet. The boys raise their voices in joy.
—This isn’t free; it’s distributed at a cost. But don’t worry, our class portion is free. I’m going to start distributing now.
Classmates rush toward the desk like a whirlwind. He’s truly generous. The high Is the popularity of the beauty research club due to this kind of thing?
I got one too. I get ready and open the page.
My photo is on the first page. It’s an enlargement of what I gave Higashida earlier. Next to it are…
reads “All about rising star Natsuru Senou.”
According to the data, its height is around 170 centimeters (estimated by visual inspection). It weighs slightly le50 kilos. Her measurements are unclear. She has a reserved personality and a husky voice. She seems to be tof the girls.
The height matches my data. He looks like a mysterious student, with a note that says “Grades They’re unknown, but it’s probably in the top tier.” That’s not right. It’s not a big deal. But where did they get this information? When I look back, I see that “Aid Club for the “Girls with newspapers” in the credits. Was that Masumi’s work?
Kampfer – Volume 3

As I look at the photo, I begin to feel a strange sensation. If I look at it calmly, she’s a pretty girl. So I understand why it’s popular, but still…
Actually, I’m interested in Sakura-san. I open the relevant page. A beautiful figure catches my eye. Kaede Sakura. 17 years old. 161 centimeters tall. Weighs around 45 kilos. The measurements… would be gooto know them.
Excellent academic performance. His personality is kind but firm. His preferred type of guy He’s probably the sporty type.
Bad. The type of guy Sakura-san likes is me, a girl. She’s barely interested in men. Did you see that? I have data that the Beauty Research Club doesn’t have. I’m not happy.
There was also data on Shizuku. 167 centimeters tall. The rest is unknown. She ranks first in The class. Her personality is calm and composed. The rest remains unknown.
It’s like a confidential black file. It seems to be full of classified information. There are photos too. But it makes me feel like they’re looking at me suspiciously.
In the collaboration section, there is no name for the event “Mission to be scolded by Shizuku.” When asking If you get help there, you’ll receive a mountain of imaginary situations about being bullied by Shizuku, so
which would be wise to do. I once came across a novel that imagined itself to be “the one who lives in the dogthe president of the student council.”
After that, everything was normal. Of course, Ryoka Yamakawa, Minami Minagawa, and Mokue Ueda, but the difference in the number of pages allocated was noticeable. It seems the competition is between Shizuku, Sakura and me.
—Natsuru!
They hit me on the back with all their might.
As I endured the pain and turned around, there was Mikoto.
—What’s wrong? Why the gloomy face?
—Hey Mikoto… are you—are you here!?
I looked around.
Kampfer – Volume 3
133
—Why are you in the men’s section?!
For some reason, Mikoto was looking at me with narrowed eyes.
-Can’t?
—How did you manage to get through the door?
—There’s a trick to that.
He answered abruptly.
You might wonder what the trick is, but being her, she’s certainly mastered various mediums, including the “Cl”clandestine for Normal Relations between Men and Women,” which I know nothing about. He said he had beetraveling through various parts of South America without a visa, after all.
—I have something to tell you.
—I don’t have time.
—Don’t say such harsh things. So…
“It’s dangerous if the teachers find out. Let’s go somewhere else.”
I pulled Mikoto along and we left the building.
Outside, many places were preparing for the cultural festival, and there was hardly any room to spare. walking. The men’s section is narrower than the women’s, so it gets crowded quickly. —I think the library is better after all.
—Any place is fine around here.
Mikoto said, but this place wasn’t good. In the end, we sat in the shade of a large tree. In front of us was a planned gate to be built in the fence separating the male and female sections feminine. On opening day, the gate lock will open. Decorating this gate will show that she can cross from one side to the other.
She was muttering things like “hohee” or “hooo” as she watched.
—Don’t be impressed by this.

—I’ve been living abroad for a long time, so I’m not familiar with these kinds of things. I’m impressed. easily.
Now that you mention it, that’s true. Mikoto has been taking frequent school breaks and traveling. by several countries. In other words, it has hardly any connection with Japanese schools. —… Are you excited about the cultural festival?
—But the Rio carnival seems to be more eye-catching, doesn’t it?
—What are your expectations for high school?
It’s a shame about the sympathy.
—So, what was the conversation about?
—You know, they asked me a question.
As she said that, Mikoto had a surprisingly serious expression on her face.
—One question. Since you’re the recipient, it must be about things like lock picking, looting,
Smuggling, right?
—What do you think of me? Those things are learned through practice and with the body. No, this is related to -With me…?
-Yeah.
Mikoto was looking at me with her arms crossed. Somehow, she seemed to have been angry for a while. No I understand the reason, but everyone around me seems impatient.
Someone out there is really frustrated about something and wants to vent to you. So they want you to… Take charge of fixing that.
—Hee…
Rather, I was surprised or astonished. In short, it seems they want me to act as an intermediary. But is it necessary to do something like this?
—You could have just told me directly.
—He says it’s difficult to meet face to face.

Who is this very shy person? It is said that the current generation has an intense polarization between being Sociable yet shy, which is causing serious communication problems, but am I just another one who Are you being misled by that information?
—Who the hell is it?
—It’s someone you know too.
—Bring it here right now. I’m busy too, you know.
The organizing committee and I also have to participate in the beauty pageant. Do I really have time for that? Imitate Mon-chan on top of that?
Mikoto glanced back briefly. Someone was arriving.
—I’m sorry… for wasting your time…
It turned out to be Sakura-san!
—Ah, no, but…
—Even if you’re busy, I can consult with you…
—Of course! For Sakura-san, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! Always available with a Phone call. I was just thinking that I wanted to consult someone sometime!
It’s unclear if it was a good excuse, but I said everything that came to mind. Unlike Mikoto, Sakura-san He had ID with him. That was a relief.
—Natsuru, do you want to leave if you’re busy?
—Don’t talk nonsense. I always have plenty of free time.
When did I become friends with Sakura-san? Oh, yes, she’s always been good at making friends. —…Okay. Then I’m counting on you later too.
Mikoto left, bored, waving her hand. Okay, fine. This is more important.
Sakura-san sat down with a depressed air.
She was quiet, with a somber expression. Although she’s usually cheerful, her despondency was actually quite
It’s as if he were saying, “You must protect me.”

—Sakura-san? Erm…
—I-I’m sorry, Natsuru-san. Even though I said we were rivals, showing you this side of me… It doesn’t matter. Rather, it moved me. I almost wanted to take a picture.
—And I… felt very humiliated…
-… Because?
—It’s just that… Akane-san intimidated me!
She declared.
—Between me and Natsuru-san… I mean, the female version of Natsuru-san, there’s no chance that Let’s be together…
—…
I was stunned.
—I don’t think so. Even though we’re women, I think there’s definitely a possibility. But… Tell me clearly…
She felt discouraged.
You can clearly see she’s depressed. Normally, I’d be furious, calling 110 and insisting on “I won’t forgive anyone who bothers Sakura-san!” I wouldn’t get into a fight. It’s terrifying. But this refers to the change of clothes. Clearly, I’m one of the parties involved. How should I reply?
—Eer, Sakura-san…
To try to find a starting point in the conversation, I approached and said.
—It’s possible it’s a misunderstanding…
—But Mishima-san saw… her… her half-nakedness… She was touching her there, like on her… chest…
Sakura-san blushed, her face downcast. It wasn’t the time to get excited over how innocent she was. I’d rather be blushing than him.
Kampfer – Volume 3
137
—But maybe she was helping with the change of clothes or something…
—That would be great, but… maybe Mishima-san is also my rival…
Damn! If I’d been drinking something, I probably would have choked like Godzilla. —That’s impossible…!
—No, I’m sure it isn’t. Mishima-san, so happy touching that person… not even with me yet… Although if he did it to me, that would also be a problem.
“And besides, Mishima-san doesn’t like homosexuals. It’s strange, isn’t it? Touching his body and…” It’s cruel! He bullied me.
Sakura-san covered her face. Ugh, making a woman cry is so low. But who’s the real lowlife here?
I understand why Akane acted that way. Because she doesn’t like Sakura-san. I’ve always thought that… Women should get along with each other, but it seems this won’t be easily resolved because of this incompatibility.
On the other hand, there’s my situation. If Sakura-san simply gives up on the feminine side of me, I couldn’t be luckier. However, there’s no guarantee that he’ll then notice my masculine side. And if he feels shocked, she decides to slide a razor blade across her wrist or hang herself with a rope a swing, that would be the worst.
“Don’t worry, it’s fine. Senou Natsuru isn’t that fickle.”
Although there is no infidelity or anything like that.
“I still… don’t understand the feeling of being loved by a woman. So if Sakura-san doesn’t give up…” probably…
What on earth are you trying to encourage? If I do this, the day a woman like me falls in love with me… It will drift further and further away, don’t you think?
Sakura-san lifted her face, which she had covered with her hands.
-Really…?
-Maybe…

There is no other option but to respond ambiguously.
Although she was still a little discouraged, she seemed to be gradually regaining her spirits. She nodded severas if convincing herself.
-Yes, thanks.
—Well, it’s not that big of a deal.
She smiled at me kindly.
—Natsuru-san is very kind. Even though we’re rivals, you care about me.
Honestly, it’s a little awkward.
She stood up. Her profile was radiant and clear in some way.
—I can’t stay depressed. I also have preparations for the cultural festival.
—In Sakura-san’s class?
—Yes. I brought a lot of visceral animal plushies from home to display. I want everyone to like them. like with teddy bears.
Ah, I see. Shizuku’s information is accurate.
But Sakura-san, without even mentioning Kämpfer and all that, won’t that turn into something like a book of Images of corpses? It really won’t be a success in society.
Whether I give her this advice or not, Sakura-san will do it. When it comes to visceral animal plushies, she She is always fully committed.
—Will you also be participating in the beauty pageant?
—Yes. Kondou-san recommended me. I don’t want to compete with that person…
Don’t worry. I’ll support you fully. It would be great if a girl like Natsuru were eliminated in the qualifiers.
—Since I was recommended, it would be wrong not to participate, right? It might be fun to think that I’ll be able Natsuru-san, please come and look too.
-Yeah…

Even though I’m not in the audience, I’m watching.
Sakura-san thanked me and bowed to me. It was good to see her recovered.
I waved to him as he left. And I promised myself in my heart that I would do everything I could to make him winthe beauty pageant.
■
On the other hand, here is Mikoto Kondou.
(…It doesn’t seem very fun)
Anyway, I can’t help feeling nauseous. Even though she’s brusque and has a masculine attitude, Mikoto She was a girl too.
I showed Sakura-san the way to Natsuru, and well, there’s no way she can refuse since she already showed mThey asked. But I couldn’t help feeling a burning in my chest.
I know Natsuru admires Kaede. Before, he used to call her “Sakura-san Sakura-san” as if it were the only thingIt existed, like swapping roles in a class, you know. Every time he mentioned it, it irritated me. A little, but I didn’t expect Natsuru to notice. That boy’s clumsiness is a national treasure. (Although interfering isn’t a good idea either…)
Perhaps it would be good to hinder things a little. I told Natsuru that it would be good to encourage her. But sinI haven’t seen it since then, I guess it’s okay if I leave things like this.
Wow, my childhood friend is popular. When we were little, he didn’t seem to have that aura, but now, I almost think I might be emitting Italian pheromones. They say everyone has their moment of success.
loving, but for it to come in adolescence is almost cheating. (Also, it turns out he likes the girls nearby…)
While I was thinking about these things, I saw a familiar girl walking by. —Ah, Kondou-san.

The girl called me.
—There you are, a girl nearby.
-Hey?
—Excuse me, that was my comment. What’s wrong?
—Well… it’s about the cultural festival, Natsuru-san and… —Natsuru? Does it have to do with the male section?
It was a simple question, but for some reason, Akane was nervous.
—Eh… w-well, sort of… I don’t think it’s related, although the girl Natsuru is a member of the committee executive…
—The Natsuru boy has nothing to do with it.
—That’s right… but…
It wasn’t very clear. It bothered me a little.
—Focus. If it’s Natsuru, he’s in the boys’ section, talking to Sakura-san.
—Huh… with Sakura-san?
—Yes, it seems they’re arguing about something. If you’re not careful, he might just keep going! —This can’t be done…
She was so upset that it was obvious to the naked eye.
—Ah, I see, it’s very obvious. You’ve been getting along well with Natsuru lately, haven’t you? If you’re leading, then act with confidence.
-… Yeah…
He was looking down. Although he answered “yes,” it seemed unlikely he would succeed this way. I would even lose to that girl Natsuru.
As I watched her, I suddenly realized.
—Oh, by the way, Akane-chan, I heard you’re going to help with the beauty pageant!

—Yes… they asked me to, they said they needed more hands, so please do it… —Better yet, do something different.

Mikoto whispered something in Akane’s ear.
