After that, everything went smoothly. I was mostly in the men’s section and attended the classes in a relaxed manner.
After the cultural festival, most classrooms seemed to lose their energy. Although they normally They recovered and returned to normal, but we, class 2-4, had screws so damaged that they couldn’t to fix things. There were rumors that our grades were plummeting and would never go back up. Of course, we weren’t worried about this at all, and instead, to resist, we tripled the time. He would fall asleep during class, which left all the teachers perplexed.
My own double life at a co-ed school continued smoothly. Old habits die hard, and I’ve I was accustomed to transforming myself easily without hesitation. However, the physical burden remained. Immense as always. I was also mentally exhausted due to the difference in progress between classes.
between the men’s and women’s sections. For these reasons, I spent more time in the men’s section, because.In the end, it was easier to remain a boy.
During a day’s break.
—Oi, Senou. Special advisor.
I was in the hallway when I was approached by that idiot boss, Higashida. My position in the Research Club of Beauties is the Special Advisor. For some reason, he “has secret information about the section” “feminine,” I was drawn into this without realizing it. When you go dressed as a girl, these kinds of things also cinformation.
-What’s happening?
—There’s a Beauty Research Club meeting happening now.
—I’m not going.
I told him beforehand. I won’t let this guy take away my precious private time.
—Don’t worry. Only selected high-ranking officials will attend.
—What are the high commands?
Kampfer – Volume 4
58
—They are selected individuals, either from the male or female section. Not just anyone can be part of it. Although they may eventually accept it.
It’s okay if they can’t.
—So, what’s the reason?
—I’m putting together a photo album for the beauty pageant, but we’re still debating the format. Publication. That’s what we’ll be doing at today’s meeting, and we want to hear your opinion. —Huh? What’s that?
—It’s a question of whether we should do it in full color. Of course, it will look better in color, but that would incrcosts. If we add black and white pages, it would be cheaper, but less interesting. What do you think?
What should we do?
Why are you asking me something like that?
—Why don’t you… do whatever you want?
—The needs of readers are important.
Is that what high school students think?
However, Higashida still explained the progress of the production to me and, incidentally, how difficult the filmi—It would be better to do it without focusing so much on profits. The reserves should be doing well, right? —We’re planning to cover this season’s budget with photo album sales, so no
It’s so easy. But the demand for color photos is certain, and there’s a strong desire to use them, since the We took it with so much effort.
—Then do what you want.
—That alone won’t get them through the executives’ meeting.
So say you don’t know that executive committee.
I held my temple.
—Ah, so how about this? There’s a lot of demand for color photos, right?
—Everyone comes for that.
Kampfer – Volume 4
59
—We reduced the price of the photo album by including black and white photos. Then, we simply added photoPrinted copies will be available as a special edition for those interested. If we take separate reservations, we wiMoney, don’t you think?
-That is!
Higashida applauded.
—You’re a truly special advisor. Meeting needs while also being profitable. Let me give the recommendation to the executive committee.
Okay. I’m starting to regret giving direct advice.
Higashida still praises me. Normally, I don’t mind being praised, but why does this guy bother me so much? —Senou, I also want to know about this.
Higashida looked nervously around, then took a photo out of his pocket.
It was a landscape photo, with a building in it. Isn’t that Seitetsu Academy?
—Look closely at this corner. I discovered it by chance while looking for pretty girls. I approached. A girl in the uniform of the women’s section was in the photo.
She was small, so her face wasn’t clearly visible. Only her hair was blonde.
—Was this girl at our school…?
I exclaimed in a doubtful voice.
—Of course. I’m sure there aren’t any blonde girls. The control there is stricter than in the men’s section. Seitetsu Academy is known for having strict restrictions on interaction between the sexes, and in the case In the women’s section, there are also regulations regarding clothing and hair. If you dye your hair… blonde, would be suspended.
The school argues that it is to maintain the tradition as an old school for young ladies, but always It receives criticism for being outdated. The girls try hard to circumvent the rules somehow, and the The conflict here had more excitement than a bad Hollywood movie.
—Senou knows a lot about the women’s section. Don’t you know anything about this girl?
Kampfer – Volume 4
60
-… I have no idea.
—He’s wearing the uniform. That should be a topic of conversation.
—I’ve never heard anything about it.
That was an honest answer. It was the first time I’d seen a blonde student. The section uniform The female version is popular among fans of that genre, fetching high prices at online auctions. It wasn’t It was impossible that she was a “fake student”, but if she got in, she would eventually be discovered and the r
—Can she be an international student or a foreign student?
“If there’s a girl like that, we won’t be the only ones following her. All the members of the male section.” They wouldn’t let her pass either.
That makes sense. If they suggested “a pretty blonde” in the men’s section, they’d run faster than a dog. with a Frisbee. Although it’s still unclear whether she’s a pretty girl.
Every doubt tormented Higashida, with his arms crossed.
—As the Beauty Research Club, I want to check out this mysterious girl.
It’s good to be diligent. No matter what it is.
—Okay, go all out.
—If you find out anything, let me know.
-Good.
I answered casually. I’ll probably forget about it completely.
I wasted time thanks to Higashida. I left the building and headed towards the library. I intended to go to the
student council room.
I went in. There weren’t many people.
I tried to transform myself into a corner. Lately, I tend to become a girl in the library. Thanks to the Tall shelves—I never lacked a good place to hide. I wasn’t the only one who considered using this “Hide,” couples used it as a meeting point, or to exchange exam information.
Taking advantage of the absence of people, there were indecent couples who also hid until the very end, like It was explained at the end of volume 4 of “Seitetsu Academy’s Back Stories”.
Kampfer – Volume 4

I hid in the shadow of the furthest bookshelf and tried to concentrate my strength in my right bracelet. —Natsuru-san.
Wow!
I jumped up and turned around. There was Sakura-san.
She seemed to be apologizing.
—Sorry. Did I scare you?
“N-No… It’s okay,” I replied, sweat beading on my back, trying to smile. Damn it. It would be a mess if discover everything.
—Then… why Sakura-san?
Laughing, she replied, “I was looking for a cookbook.”
Indeed, she was holding a Remi Hirano cookbook. Is this even what they have in this library? —I wanted to prepare myself to cook.
—Get ready…?
“I’ll have visitors,” he added.
—Sakura-san, I heard you’re a good cook…
“I don’t want to fail,” he excused himself shyly.
—It’s an important visit.
I got a little emotional. Sakura-san, doing all that. She really is a goddess born from the flower of kindness. Talking to someone so angelic makes me feel like the luckiest man in the world.
-Thank you so much.
I said thank you while still emotional.
“There’s no need to go to so much trouble… If it’s Sakura-san’s kitchen, I’ll just need to heat up some retort anHappy to eat. Really, don’t force yourself. Oh, I’ll take care of washing the dishes. Sakura-san, you can see the television…
Kampfer – Volume 4
62
-Hey?
She bowed her head.
—Uhm… What are you saying? The visitor isn’t Natsuru-san, you know?
—Ah…
Oh no! I made a mistake in my excitement. Sakura-san didn’t invite me, she invited me as a woman. She looked at me with pity. She probably thought I was a pathetic, self-centered man. Oh dear! —I appreciate you worrying about my food, but…
Sakura-san spoke in a tone of advice to a sick person.
—But this time it’s only for girls. Men can’t go.
—A-Ah… No, no…
I said some embarrassing stupid things.
—So… um… Who’s going to Sakura-san’s house? Not that I’m worried, but, you see… What am I saying? I should have known who was going to be there a while ago. Besides, I’m the guest. Apparently, Sakura-san didn’t suspect anything and answered me immediately. —It’s Senou Natsuru. And Shizuku-chan too… Ah, Natsuru-san, perhaps…?
Her expression turned serious. Huh? Did I say something to upset her?
—Are you interested in her, Natsuru-san?
…
Sakura-san was serious.
—I haven’t forgotten that I’m still Natsuru-san’s rival. Are you investigating to interfere? How cruel, isn’t it? Well, you see, as a man, I’m completely interested. In fact, I’ve already got my eye on her. But as a woman, not so much.
—…
Kampfer – Volume 4
63
—I will take care of her, look after her, and eventually we will go out together, so men are forbidden from access.
If I could say that I am the same person in both cases, perhaps I would feel more relieved. Sakura-san is loyal. I’ve always thought so, and there’s no mistake about it. Once he falls in love with a girl like
I don’t look at anyone else. His strong sense of morality is charming, but when it falls on me, it’s difficult. Bowing her head, she went to the loan counter. She’s surely improving several things based on… in that book and perfecting her culinary skills. Even though she’s a woman, at least it’s some consolation to be savor your food.
Gathering my strength, I looked around to make sure no one was there. Then, I focused my power on the bracelet and I transformed into a woman.
I left the lobby as if nothing had happened, and walked through the library door by showing my ID card. As student Senou Natsuru, I ran through the campus. I’m not going to class 2-4 yet. It’s not a good idea. I will eventually go, but I could run the risk of the treasurer inviting me to “future investment in uranium”.
I went past the teachers’ office, impressed my tutor who was busy playing on her phone, and then I headed back to the library. I went upstairs and passed by the student council room. As soon as I met Shizuku, I told her, “More people are going to see Sakura-san.” Shizuku no I was surprised, but she looked at me with her characteristic cold eyes.
—Could it be Mishima-san?
-Yeah.
I sit firmly.
—Did he intimidate you?
-… Yeah.
My answer this time was somewhat embarrassing.
In Shizuku’s eyes, a color of contempt seemed to emerge.
—It’s a shameful spectacle, isn’t it?
Kampfer – Volume 4
64
—That person is brutal.
—Even though he’s brutal in his actions, when you peel back the layers, there’s also a girl inside. Being kind to
“No, Akane is ferocious to the core. It’s like a rabid dog coming to attack, barking. I don’t want to be…” bitten again.
After all, I was once bitten by a gun.
Then Shizuku looked at me intently and said:
—When I said “skin,” I meant to return to human form.
—…Huh?
I’m sorry, I don’t understand the meaning.
—You’re slow.
-That?
—… Well, it’s not really my problem.
Hmm, I feel a little slighted.
“That’s fine, even if Mishima-san comes. I’ll tell Kaede. She likes visitors, so she won’t turn her away.” —However, Akane and Sakura-san don’t get along.
—Then why don’t you fix it, Senou-kun?
-… I?
—It’s a man’s responsibility.
Huh? Is it my responsibility?
While she was writing something, we were having a conversation. I peeked in a little and it seemed to be a matter related to the men’s section.
—These are the illegal clandestine activities of the male section.
Shizuku said it casually.
Kampfer – Volume 4
65
—The Beauty Research Club is being noisy. They’re going overboard with the photo albums. color. Make sure to tell Higashida-kun not to do anything flashy.
Wow! You even know that? At this rate, it seems like someone from the student council has infiltrated the Club
Beauty Research. Hey, Higashida, it seems like you’re being manipulated.
Besides, don’t you know I’m the special advisor? Even though I don’t say anything, he clearly knows what I’m dI apologized shyly when I took it out.
—Don’t say that, be nice and ignore the photo album.
—Photos too, but scattering random data is problematic. I couldn’t bear being sold to a seller.
It seems the Seitetsu Academy roster is being sold for a high price. I’ve heard about that. In fact, I heard the treasurer say, “That’s a good amount of money.”
—I read the test.
Did you read it?
—There are many errors. It’s unacceptable if they make mistakes even with public information like birthdays. ItIt’s best to correct Senou-kun’s as well. His blood type was wrong.
But why do you remember my blood type? Have I ever mentioned it?
—… In that case, the president’s information was also wrong, wasn’t it? —Yes. In the “type of man I hate” section, it said “stupid person”.
—You hate him, don’t you?
—Rather, the guy I hate is a bad kisser.
Suddenly, remembering the beauty pageant, I realized my cheeks were getting hot. Why? What is he saying?
Shizuku remains unfazed.
—Does Senou-kun like women who are good kissers?
-Idiot…!
Kampfer – Volume 4
66
—Or is it okay if they kiss badly?
-It’s not that…!
—It seems I’m not suitable. What a shame.
He said it without seeming to regret it at all. Or perhaps he really was regretting it? I don’t know. I tried to change the subject quickly.
—Instead, it’s about going to Sakura-san’s house.
—Ara, is that more important than a kiss?
—It’s not that it’s anything important…
—So, a kiss isn’t important?
—About Sakura-san…
—Kaede also thinks that it’s better to kiss well than badly.
—It’s not about being good or bad…
—Maybe you’ll kiss Kaede someday too, you should be careful.
—Get away from there…
Should I stay away from Kaede? And what about talking about who to kiss?
I’m so sorry, I really am. Please stop bullying me.
I don’t know if it’s sarcasm or teasing, Shizuku always says that to me in moments like this. Oh well, I guess shIt’s fun. Because it’s sadistic.
Why am I going through this? Shizuku forcibly kissed me; I’m the victim. She abused her power as Student council president. I’m going to report her!
I took a deep breath and calmed down.
—…So, in short, is it a good idea to go to Sakura-san’s house separately?
She remembered Sakura-san’s address, but she had never visited her in person. Because she dreamed of that she would guide me and invite me to her house.
Kampfer – Volume 4
67
Finally, Shizuku stopped intimidating me.
—You want us to meet, right?
-Yeah.
—Alright. Bring Mishima-san along too. He probably doesn’t know her.
—Yes, I will.
Nothing else mattered anymore. I left the student council room without even saying thank you. Then Shizuku said, “This is a loan too.” Of course, I pretended not to hear. If I kept falling behind; I didn’t know what might happen to me.
Once outside, I realized I hadn’t mentioned the visceral animal Chissoku Norainu. Well, no. It matters. There wouldn’t be a problem afterward.
After leaving the student council room, I realized I had been touching my lips. continuously.
I felt terrible for no reason.
■
As I went down to the first floor of the library, I realized I was hungry. Ah, right, it was lunchtime. I considered going back to the men’s section to eat, but then I remembered I hadn’t done anything. Preparation. I’ve always liked to doze, but today I managed the incredible feat of sleeping six times. Although I had correctly set my new alarm clock and woke up promptly ten minutes later Before the hour, I repeated: “just five more minutes” six times.
The alarm only rang once at first, but I woke up exactly every five minutes and went back to sleep. I went to sleep. Finally, when I woke up, an indescribable emotion completely enveloped me.
Kampfer – Volume 4
68
I know that society, especially teachers, doesn’t appreciate this feat. That’s why, without even preparing my lunWithout buying bread on the way to school, I ran straight here. The big ones are always chased in any era.
What I mean is: “even though I’m hungry, there’s nothing to eat.” The only option left is to buy something at theschool store or eat in the cafeteria.
Let’s go to the dining hall. The girls’ one is fine. Although there is a boys’ dining hall, it’s as gloomy as a cell. of medieval tortures, and a mysterious grandfather who murmurs like a mummy while he cooks. Rumors that if you eat there, you won’t be able to die in peace and will wander this world eternally. Once upon The teachers tried to eat there to dispel those rumors, but everyone remained silent and never The more they mentioned the topic, the more credible it became.
I decided to go to the girls’ cafeteria right away. What was on the menu today?
I didn’t see Akane at the library desk. I guess she’s not on duty today.
But when he was about to go outside,
Something moved in one corner of my field of vision.
—…?
Although it’s normal to have someone in the library, given that we are human, that movement was strange.
I had the feeling that I was being secretly watched.
(Maybe it’s a girl in love trying to pass me a love letter…)
I’m not usually so self-centered as to consider that, but it intrigues me. I decided to take a closer look. I looked behind the steel bookshelf (new after Akane and I wrecked the old one). It looked like there was someone, but quickly hid behind another bookshelf.
-That-…?
Grumbling, I went over to another shelf. It was gone.
It had moved to another shelf. I hurried to look. There was no one there.
Hearing hurried footsteps, I knew someone was there. What on earth was going on?
Kampfer – Volume 4
69
I ran. I looked behind the bookshelf. However, my opponent seemed to have run too, still moving. further.
-… Curse.
When it gets to this point, it’s a matter of pride. When I was in elementary school, I chased someone who had put mud in my backpack all day, and I finally got my revenge by flooding his mailbox home. Thanks to that, I was even nicknamed: “Garagara Hebi” (rattlesnake) and that was not something I apprFrom the farthest bookshelf, a pair of feet peek out.
—There it is!
I ran hard. This time, I’ll definitely make that face beg for forgiveness.
—Who’s there!?
I glanced around quickly, but there was no one there. Huh?
In the next instant, I realized that the bracelet on my right arm was glowing blue.
pale.
—Ahahaha!
A high-pitched laugh came from upstairs. Judging by the voice, it was almost certainly a girl, but was she supp
The library should be quiet, right?
I looked up and saw a high school student standing in an aggressive pose on top of the bookshelf. —Ufufufufu! You’ve fallen into the trap!
She was a blonde student, the girl in the photo Higashida had mentioned. She was carrying a Japanese swordblack on the waist.
On his arm was that bracelet mentioned earlier. Red in color. It was the enemy Kämpfer. “It’s so easy to lure you here, how silly of you to be so gullible!”
It’s a big problem.
“There’s no sense of competition if the enemy is someone like this. What the visceral animal said wasn’t great.stuff.
Kampfer – Volume 4
70
Putting both hands on my waist, I laugh happily.
I didn’t look directly. It’s because her skirt is short; if I looked directly at her, I could see what was underneath. That’s right, black. How daring!
The girl still didn’t notice and was striking a pose.
—I am your enemy, your rival Kämpfer. So fight fairly… although…
That girl was staring at me with her waist low.
—… Senou Natsuru from the female section!
Did you realize it now?
—So you were on the enemy’s side. That explains why I had a bad feeling about you from the moment I saw yFirst time! It’s perfect, it hurts a little to attack a complete stranger, but with you there’s no guilt! What kind of thinking is that? She’s completely self-centered.
She didn’t jump gracefully, but rather abruptly, and landed roughly. It was far from elegant. There was a dull thud as it landed.
He drew a katana. Reflecting the light from the fluorescent lamps, it shone brightly. —Let’s fight!
However, I was intently observing this girl’s face.
—… Kondou Mikoto?
The young woman in front of me suddenly became nervous.
—Ah, I’m not Mikoto!
—No, you’re Mikoto.
—I’m not. I’m what I choose to be!
Well, even if you’re not Mikoto, you are Mikoto.
It seems that he did become Kämpfer anyway, so it wasn’t just an illusion that the visceral animal He would speak. Moreover, from the enemy’s side.
Kampfer – Volume 4
71
Mikoto shook her head, brushing my words aside.
—You’ve said too much. You’re going to die!
She readied her sword. Did this girl do kendo or something?
—Uryaahh!
—Uwaaah!
I thought his fencing was amateurish, but really, it’s Kämpfer’s strength. He cuts through the air at incredible spsuperior to that of an ordinary human.
I quickly dodged it backwards.
—Don’t run away!
—It’s inevitable!
Mikoto’s movement suddenly stopped.
—… You have a very hoarse voice, huh?
—Well, I guess so.
—Something about him reminds me of Natsuru. I don’t like him!
-But…
Would it be better to reveal my true identity? As I thought about that, the sword was waved again. Danger, danger!
A steel bookshelf collapsed with a crash. Mikoto sliced ■■it in two. Oh, will you help me? repair it?
I moved in the shadow of the books that were collapsing like avalanches.
—Stop right there!
Before Mikoto could approach, I jumped to another shelf.
—Ah, you’re copying me!
Kampfer – Volume 4
72
It’s not like you completely invented the method. Climbing onto shelves isn’t an exclusive monopoly. of the cats.
—Get down from there! Your panties are showing! Learn what shame is!
Can you talk about that?
From shelf to shelf, I jumped nimbly. I can’t stay here much longer. I’m hungry, and if I keep giving Turns, Mikoto will cut me off.
It’s much faster than running on the ground. Becoming a Kämpfer improves my coordination and I can jump. With ease, I’d overcome obstacles I’d normally hesitate to tackle. Let’s go, Mikoto!
But my plan was completely naive.
-Wait!
The blonde Mikoto screams and runs at full speed. Furthermore, wielding a katana, she slices through the shelwhile running in a straight line.
—No~aaah!
The shelves are falling one after another right behind me. I remember seeing a movie like that. The library interior became noisy. And with good reason. A woman jumped on the shelves and ran, while they collapse behind her.
—Natsuru! I won’t let you escape!
—I won’t allow it!
I shoot flames over my shoulder. The flame spreads like a snake’s tongue. —How naive!
Mikoto shakes herself, scattering the flames into the air, making them disappear. I was going to attack again, but I hesitated. If I attack carelessly, it will all end in a fire. I’m in disadvantage, she has the advantage.
The only option is to run. Once I’m in the men’s section, Mikoto won’t be able to follow me. As I was pondering that, the row of shelves was coming to an end. Damn!
Kampfer – Volume 4
73
I jump to the floor. Almost simultaneously, the steel shelves collapse and crumble into pieces. From beyond them, Mikoto appears.
—I caught you!
The voice is loud. Despite the presence of staff, this girl remains completely calm. Lack of sensitivity? to “make noise in the school library”? Incidentally, at the British Museum he was also shouting “this is “Illegal excavation, this is also illegal excavation.”
—This time, get ready!
I’m not kidding. I looked at the edge of the sword and decided to use the same technique I used when I fought I made a fireball appear and shot it towards the ceiling.
The flame burned the sensors that had been installed. And then…
A deafening siren wailed. Sprinklers distributed throughout the area activated.
Simultaneously, they erupted water like a waterfall.
—Kyaahh!
Mikoto, surprised by the sudden attack, is agitated. It’s now or never.
I got up and finally ran at full speed.
—Oh, wait!
Who would wait? I kept running straight towards the school door.
■
When I got home, it was already quite dark.
This was the second time there had been a disturbance in the library, so the school’s investigation was very thstrict. Even the sprinklers were activated.
Kampfer – Volume 4
Kampfer – Volume 4
75
All the boys were questioned. It’s due to the idea that only men do stupid things. It’s a prejudice. Although it’s not wrong.
The school investigation has concluded, but the culprit remains unknown. Natsuru Senou from the section The woman was under suspicion, but she had an alibi, so the situation calmed down. The other “mystery girl” “blonde hair” was not even known to exist.
Shizuku was the witness for my alibi. She said she was “with me the whole time.” Since the best person said it.As a student at Seitetsu Academy, my credibility increased, and the conclusion was reached that “we don’t knoHe was the one to blame.” However, I wonder why he went so far as to lie.
It seems Shizuku realized I was involved. I guess that means it’s just me who’s…
I fought against a Kämpfer, who would do something like that? Although we haven’t seen each other since theDoes it also become something that must be returned?
I myself went outside once to deactivate the transformation and entered with great pomp through the door of th
Men’s section. Thanks to that, I was suspected of “skipping out at halftime,” but oh well, you can’t do anything avoid that.
So, since I was also summoned for questioning, it resulted in me arriving home late. Today, Akane wasn’t waiting for me. Instead, I had called her.
—Did something like this happen…?
She spoke while holding coffee cups in both hands. As usual, we were in my room. She seemed quite comfortable and completely relaxed.
The library was suddenly closed. Everyone was talking about what had happened… —I’m sorry, it was my doing.
I apologized.
Akane was depressed. She loves to read, so things like that make her sad. It’s really shameful.
—…And then the enemy Kämpfer appeared, right?
He had declared Harakiritora.
Kampfer – Volume 4
76
—Yes. He was brandishing a katana.
—Hooo. A sword, huh?
—Just like Shizuku, right?
In the case of the student council president, she has two short knives, but she only had one. As a result, it is longer.
—Did you find out who that person really was?
—Yes. It was Mikoto.
Not only Harakiritora, but even Akane, who was depressed, lifted her head. -So…
They both murmured in unison. It didn’t seem to be such a big shock. In a way, it was expected.
—Kondou-san, it turns out it was red…
Akane said.
—I wasn’t wrong. It was very bright.
—And what was it like?
—Blonde… something like that. Her personality was the same as always. Always full of energy. That’s why she can destroy bookshelves without a second thought. Her attitude of not looking back could be cof respect.
—Do you know what Mikoto was like in the women’s section?
Akane shook her head slightly.
—No… I ran into Nishino-san during break, and we just talked about fights with the newspaper club. female and the Beauty Research Club in the beauty pageant album…
Look, they’re clashing over profit distribution anyway. I heard him talking about it the other day, in class 2-4 of The women’s section has also joined the conversation and they appear to be trying to expand even further.
plus the market with the publication of a photo album of maids. However, as only the treasurer knows That clandestine route, it seems they actually disagree.
Kampfer – Volume 4
77
—I see… isn’t there any way to confirm anything about Mikoto?
-I don’t know…
—She’s always the same, isn’t she? It’s surprising, isn’t it?
The only change is the hair color. It’s the same as with Shizuku.
—Perhaps he became a Kämpfer for some reason…
—What do you think? I’ve never heard about their concerns.
Although at times he has no visa, passport, or cash to cross the border, he says With certainty, she says, “There’s no need to worry.” She not only silently accepts her fate, but
He can also become actively involved in it.
—…
Akane seemed to be deeply worried about something.
—No… I don’t want to fight Kondou-san so closely…
He let it go.
—I really… I don’t want her to become an enemy… since we’re acquaintances and friends… it’s sad to be dividIn factions… Isn’t there any other way…?
Her eyes were moist behind her glasses. She’s a kind girl. Almost as kind as Sakura-san. Thinking about it rationally, this is a tragedy. It’s like the armed struggle between East and West Germany. With guns, magic, and swords. To Akane, she’s a friend; to me, a childhood friend. The reason why The reason I couldn’t attack properly while she was wielding her katana is this.
—It would be great to be able to talk to her…
-Yeah…
A heavy silence hung over us, when suddenly,
—Hey! Natsuru!
A booming voice echoed from below the window.
There’s no need to spy, it’s Mikoto. The reason for the rumors had just arrived.
Kampfer – Volume 4
78
—I’ll go up, okay?
There’s no point in stopping her. With her outstanding lock-picking skills, she’d be there in under three minutes.She can open the cylinder lock on the front door. I hear a metallic noise and suddenly I hear her coming upstaithe stairs.
—Hey!
She entered the room with a radiant smile.
—Natsuru, have you eaten properly…? Oh, wow!
He tilted his head slightly.
—Akane-chan? You’ve been coming around a lot lately.
You too. Akane nodded without saying anything.
We remained silent. Of course, Harakiritora didn’t say anything either.
Mikoto had an incomprehensible expression.
—What’s going on? Is everyone quiet?
—…
—Don’t you like that I came? What is that? Bullying?
That’s not it. Your innate joy confuses me.
Somehow, I can’t look at you directly after how thoughtful you were a while ago. Akane, For some reason, she became emotional and covered her eyes with a handkerchief. Of course, Mikoto wasn’t the type of woman to consider such things. She sat down on the tatami. —Okay, then! Hey, hey, I have a question for you.
-… That?
—Do you two know Kämpfer?
-Hey!?
Kampfer – Volume 4

I was so surprised that I jumped into the air without leaving my seated position. Akane even sent her glasses.
—What the hell is that?
—N-No… Kämpfer?
Unable to overcome the shock, I asked.
—Yes. Apparently, I’m destined to fight. It seems I was chosen for this. Ahahaha! What are you laughing at? We were serious, and it turns out we were fools. She really has no worries.
It seems that even if all of humanity perishes and she is left alone, she would happily spend her days rememband laughing.
—So… how did that happen?
—That’s what he said. Yes, the Chissoku Norainu. When I brought him home, he suddenly started talking. I waI was surprised and asked him, and he was saying things as if it were a fairy tale.
—Did you believe that right away?
—Yes, I believed it. Because I transformed. Into a blonde.
—Wouldn’t that make you sad, or would you get sad?
-No.
She said it with a smile. What a positive and wonderful attitude.
Akane still looks surprised, holding the glasses she picked up in her hand. I can understand how she… feels.
—So, Natsuru. Don’t you have a visceral animal either?
—Yes… there.
On the desk, there is a Harakiritora placed. It seems to have shuddered slightly. —That tiger doesn’t talk, does it?
-Hey…?
Suddenly, I started sweating profusely down my back.
Kampfer – Volume 4
80
If I say we talk here, he’ll probably ask, “Are you a Kämpfer too?” straight away. Then The talk about colors will come, and it will become a question of enemies and allies. In a way, it was It was inevitable that this place would become a battlefield.
-No…
—Are you going to speak?
-Well…
Although I hesitated, Mikoto nodded on her own.
—Well, there’s no way he’s going to talk.
—Of course.
—If a stuffed animal could talk, it would be an unprecedented event. Hahaha.
These unprecedented events are already happening faster than you can tell. I calmed down, and Akane let herShe put on her glasses, though she still seemed restless. She tried to put them on backwards three times. —Did you come here to talk about that?
-Yeah.
It seems to say: “Obviously.”
-That-…
—Oh, you don’t believe me. Do you want me to transform myself here to prove it?
-There’s no need.
If we do anything suspicious, we could get into trouble. Then, yes, it would be a battleground.
—Believe it.
—I believe it, I believe it, so stop.
—It’s amazing. Bathed in light, the hair turns blonde. The clothes don’t tear, but still. -It doesn’t matter.
Mikoto was staring at me.
Kampfer – Volume 4
81
—… Maybe I should transform here after all.
—Stop!
I rushed to stop her.
—I will believe. I will believe, so please, stop now.
—Pfff… Well, that’s fine.
Although she didn’t seem convinced, she stopped for now. Akane also felt relieved. A while passed.
With trepidation, I began to ask questions.
—Mikoto, why are you fighting like Kämpfer?
-Don’t know.
It was an instant response. Well, I guess we don’t know either.
—Fight even during the day. With a blue Kämpfer.
-Oh.
—You don’t believe in that, do you?
—Yes, I believe so.
Because you were my opponent.
—You know, there was this guy who could shoot flames from his hands. He looked like a magician. Is it some Aquatic? In everyday life, it seems useful only for lighting the stove. Do you really plan to struggle with that? —…
Ignoring my disappointment, Mikoto laughed.
—Well, we fought and in the end she managed to escape. She’s like a cunning girl who’s always up to somethi-I’m sorry.
—Hmm? What’s wrong?
Kampfer – Volume 4
82
-It’s no big deal.
Mikoto closed her mouth for a moment, playing hard to get.
—And this person, the enemy Kämpfer. He was a very famous person!
—…Famous?
-Yeah.
Mikoto smiled maliciously.
—Are you interested?
—No, not really.
—Oh, come on, don’t you want to know?
Mikoto seemed to be suggesting I should ask more questions. But I wasn’t interested. After all, It was just me.
—You want to know, right? Or not?
—I already told you no.
—Tell me, please, tell me Mikoto-sama.
—Who do you think you are?
Please tell me, Sakura-sama. I’m willing to say it as many times as you like. I’ll even clean the I lick the soles of my shoes until they’re spotless. I’m not a masochist, but I make an exception. by Sakura-san. There are other boys like me who fantasize about licking not only her shoes, but the entire floowhere he has walked.
Mikoto became moody and turned her face away.
—Then I won’t say it.
-Alright.
—Hmph.
Okay then. But more importantly, there’s something else I want to know.
Kampfer – Volume 4
83
—Regarding what you just mentioned, don’t you also know why Kämpfer is fighting? -… Don’t know.
Although he still seems to be in a bad mood, he replied.
—Ah, but he said he had to fight and win.
—You wouldn’t want to lose, would you?
—So, you saved the world by winning?… Or was it a country?
He was scratching his head. Both Akane and I had question marks hovering over our heads. heads.
It was the first time we’d heard that. Although they tell us to fight, they haven’t explained to us what the… Purpose. What lies at the end of the struggle? Hearing a bit of that was a novelty.
—Besides… What was that? They told me I’m the lookout.
—Aren’t you supposed to fight?
—Defeating the enemy and keeping an eye on the allies. It seems there might be a traitor. It’s a troubling issueNo?
—…Can you speak so openly like that?
—No problem. Nobody cares.
He laughs again. But it must matter to him.
However, the term “traitor” clearly refers to Shizuku. The student council president is a A deceptive person trying to investigate the moderator’s identity said: “They could reinstate surveillance if we t
the initiative,” and that was becoming real.
—U-Uhm… who are you watching, or something like that, that stuffed animal told you? —What’s wrong, Natsuru? Are you that interested in that?
Shizuku stares at me. I force a smile.
—A-Aah. Well, yes. I like manga-type stuff.
Kampfer – Volume 4
84
“You only read manga, right?” He didn’t say it clearly. Somehow, since there’s no concrete proof, He told me to distrust all allies.
—Defeat the enemy and distrust allies…?
—In a way, it’s easy to understand, isn’t it?
That’s true, but it must be tough. If I were given a mission like that, I’d be so exhausted and stressed that I’d pr
He would commit harakirito on the national highway and let a truck run him over. Shouldn’t he go to the hospitNumber 143 if it’s Akane?
—Oh, but it seems I can have a valuable experience, so I’m happy.
How naive.
—Mikoto has always been like this, hasn’t she?
—Isn’t it fun? It’s more exciting than when I was chased by a pack of leopards in Africa. while searching for Paleolithic human fossils. You could never experience something like that if you lead a life normal.
I was stating it. There’s no other way to say it than impressive. These are the kinds of people I’m talking about. that can survive in today’s stressful society.
Mikoto looked at the clock.
—It’s time for dinner. Natsuru, you were going to get some instant food or go out to eat, right? —Yes, but…
—I’m going to prepare something for you.
Mikoto responds with an ironic smile.
—I already bought the ingredients.
She is diligent. Akane gets up to help.
—I’ll help you…
—Ah, Akane-chan, are you alright?
Mikoto stopped with exaggerated gestures.
Kampfer – Volume 4
85
—You always prepare the food, so today I’ll be the one cooking. —It won’t be something like the lizard grill or the snake grill, will it? —Would you like that kind of thing?
-No.
—That’s delicious in its own way too.
—I prefer something more normal.
Mikoto has been living abroad, mostly in unexploited wilderness areas, so she eats Wild ingredients, no problem. He boasted about eating crunchy rhinoceros beetle larvae. She went downstairs. Akane and I could finally breathe.
—Haah…
—So that’s Mikoto-san…
—Yes, she has no secrets. That’s her.
She wasn’t hiding anything, but we still needed to keep it a secret. I insist, we and Mikoto. We are enemies. We are Kämpfer of different colors.
—Are you going to tell the president about this?
Harakiritora asked. Up until now, he had always been acting like a stuffed animal; perhaps he had… His shoulder went numb because he kept moving it and it creaked. But he’s still a stuffed animal.
—Yes, I have to do it.
—But if you tell him, he might make Mikoto-san disappear.
—Oh, right…
Because there is precedent for that.
Color doesn’t matter to Shizuku. If she realizes someone is a nuisance, she’ll try to defeat them without movingIt’s all just muscle. Neither Akane nor I interfering makes any sense. In fact, the outcome will be our eliminationtogether.
—Isn’t it better to remain silent?
Kampfer – Volume 4
86
-Yes I understand…
—We won’t tell the president. Let’s stop talking to Mikoto-san too. Let’s give it some time, and then
Let’s think of something.
-OK…
Akane accepted the postponement. Harakiritora, who often mocked her, also agreed. Soon a voice was heard from below.
—It’s lunchtime!
We went downstairs together.
On the living room table, we found curry. A little fukujinzuke (Japanese pickle) and water. I felt nauseous for no reason.
—… Curry, seriously?
—I failed to do it last time, I’m sure I won’t this time.
Why are you proud? You’re bragging for no reason.
—Does Natsuru like curry?
—Yes, but every time you come, it’s curry, curry, curry, curry, and sometimes ramen.
—Curry is delicious, so everything’s fine.
—Even when you travel somewhere, you always end up eating curry at a cheap restaurant, right? Why don’t you try the typical dishes of the region?
—It’s just that if you go abroad, you can’t eat curry rice! Imagine eating curry udon in the Basin of The Amazon? Impossible!
Mikoto complained, pursing her lips. Even though it was a real experience, why use such a trivial example? Extreme? I only travel around the country.
—I put so much effort into it… but if you’re not going to eat it, it’s fine.
—I’ll eat it.
Kampfer – Volume 4
87
I sat down in the chair. The spoon was submerged in the glass of water. Ah, this looks like a cheap restaurant.
Without addressing anyone in particular, I said, “Itadakimasu,” and began to eat.
Mix the sauce with the rice and put it in your mouth. The taste…? Hmm.
Mikoto was staring at me.
—What do you think?
-… Normal.
There’s no other way to put it. It was different from the taste of a restaurant, from homemade flavor, and from tpouch, something like… curry rice.
—What’s wrong? Could you say it another way?
—It’s very normal.
—No, I don’t mean that.
She looked dissatisfied. Without touching her food, her cheeks visibly puffed out.
Akane, sitting next to me, pulled at my sleeve.
(Natsuru-san… you should praise her…)
(Because?)
(Because… it’s the right thing to do)
(The taste is normal, you know? This.)
(It’s better to flatter anything.)
(Is that so?)
(Yeah…)
Akane interrupted our conversation and began happily enjoying the curry. With a smile on her face, he said,
—It’s delicious, Kondou-san’s cooking.
Mikoto’s expression suddenly began to glow.
Kampfer – Volume 4
88
—Really? Thank you. Ah, it seems Akane-chan likes this flavor, I’m glad. It was good to make.
She lit up like a lightbulb and began to eat her portion. Akane continued to praise her: “It’s delicious.”
—… Mikoto.
I said it because I felt a certain sense of exclusion.
-What’s happening?
—I think it’s good.
—I wish you were dead.
It was a cruel response.
Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, or rather completely excluded, I began to eat the curry. Mikoto and Akane whaving several trivial conversations. Is it the destiny of men to be pursued by women? With no other option, I reached for the remote control and turned on the television. The news was playing on thThe national weather forecast ended and they switched to local news.

An IT company was reading the script. This person, who was once described as a diabolical woman In a women’s magazine, she supposedly causes the men she’s involved with to break up one after another. Another one. Wasn’t her ex-husband arrested for corruption and imprisoned? A voice is heard saying that everShe who absorbs a man’s fortune becomes more beautiful.
—”… The urban hot springs complex that opened a month ago near the station is experiencing great popularity. Tonight, we present a special on resorts returning to the city.”
The theme song plays. The CGI-rendered logo spins and spins.
—This… isn’t it near the station around here?
Mikoto said, holding a spoon in her mouth. “How rude!”
-Yes you’re right…
Akane answered. Both of them, without realizing it, were watching television.
Kampfer – Volume 4
89
—Hey, that building. Wasn’t it the one that was under construction for so long?
—Ah, yes, I’ve seen it before…
I’d been there before too. There was a guy doing construction work clothing illustrations who had He had been bowing his head and apologizing with a “sorry for the inconvenience,” but apparently decided it wThat was enough, and he disappeared, “ceasing to apologize.” It seems it was over. —An urban hot springs resort…
I murmured. It must be a spa. I remember that place used to be a public bath.
—Perhaps we should go see it on our next vacation. If it’s beautiful, that would be great, wouldn’t it? —It will surely be beautiful. It’s freshly made…
That’s what the two girls were talking about. Freshly baked like bread, it’s insignificant, but whatever. Then Akane looked towards me.
—Natsuru-san… I remembered my day off and thought of something…
-Hmm?
Somehow, Akane began to behave timidly.
—Uh… well, next time we’ll go to Sakura-san’s house, right?
-Yeah.
—Should we carry something like… weapons? A knife or something…?
What is this girl saying?
—No, it’s not necessary.
—B-But, I’ve decided to protect Natsuru-san from Sakura-san, so without weapons I feel unsafe…! But Since I don’t have any lethal weapons at home, I thought maybe I should buy a metal bat or something… Wait. What are you planning to do to Sakura-san?
I thought he was joking, but he seemed to be serious. He was asking things like, “What should I do?” to fight Sakura-san?
Kampfer – Volume 4
90
—Ah, I… I don’t have any strength or anything, so I think a surprise attack would be best… If I’m going to strikeBackwards, would a hammer be better than a metal bat?
—Wait a minute. Why are you assuming you’re going to fight Sakura-san?
—It’s just… I don’t know what Sakura-san can do about Natsuru-san…
That’s true, but why do we end up talking about fighting and, ultimately, eliminating her if possible? This girl has a rather surprising dark side.
Akane seemed determined to make an important decision; she was strangely desperate. —I really can’t use a hammer…?
-Not at all…
—Then I’ll buy a nail gun at the DIY store…!
Hey. You’re getting more and more radical.
After that, she continued muttering about levers, hammers, wrenches, and finally said things
terrifying things like: “I don’t want to set the house on fire. It would be a problem for everyone else… But if it’s necessary…”.
In the Edo period, starting fires was punishable by death. Even today, it is said that if If you commit robbery, murder, and arson, you come very close to the death penalty. —So, are you going somewhere?
Mikoto asked me.
—Well, yes.
—Akane-chan, are you going to Sakura-san’s house to play?
-Yeah…
—Oh, so Natsuru can’t go, right?
—What? From the beginning, I was the one who was invited.
—That’s a lie.
Mikoto had an expression that said, “Stop making up nonsense.”
Kampfer – Volume 4
91
—No, seriously…
“A guy like you, a man, wouldn’t be invited by Sakura-san. Even though she’s kind, she doesn’t get close to themen, right?
—Ah…!
I was speechless. That’s right, I was invited as a woman. We were having a normal conversation and I completely forgot about that. It’s the same mistake I made when I was talking to Sakura-san; I’m not making aabsolute.
Mikoto looks at me suspiciously and asks:
—Did he really invite you?
—… N-No, that’s not it. I was just showing off a little.
I respond with a forced smile. Akane also forces a smile.
—Y-Yes… Only I’m going to play…
—No, it’s just that I envy Akane-chan, so I pretended we were going together…
—… You’re a lonely man, aren’t you?
Mikoto sighed in exasperation. It was a remarkably loud sigh.
—Because you say “Sakura-san, Sakura-san” all the time, that’s why you boast like that. Shouldn’t you be morAre you self-aware? Can’t you live on fantasies alone?
—Fantasies, you say…
—Try with a girl close to you.
Who is supposed to be close to me?
Even though he’s saying whatever. It seems I’m the only one making a fool of myself. However, I can’t say the TRUE.
Whispering softly, I tell Akane:
(You don’t need a weapon, okay?)
(Oh really…?)
Kampfer – Volume 4
92
(Okay, just bring some candy or something.)
(VV-Poison…?)
(Don’t say things like the girls in class 2-4!)
Akane, you are being influenced.
Mikoto quickly turned off the television once the news was over. She was still watching. Then I He returned the remote control.
—You’re free during the upcoming holidays, Natsuru?
—Well… yes.
—Ah, you see, I’m planning to play with Masumi and the others, do you want to join?
—I’m not going. I’m sure they just want to go to karaoke or something.
—What do you mean by “safe”? Even though I’m inviting you with good intentions.
I have a bad feeling about messing around with Mikoto and Masumi. Whether it’s spying on other people’s houAs expected, look at the couples parked in the park.
And besides, I have serious plans to visit Sakura-san’s house. Definitely.
—I’ll be at home sleeping that day.
—Again? You really like taking naps.
—It doesn’t cost any money and I regain energy. It’s all benefits.
—It’s not a game, you know? Well, never mind, go to sleep then.
I replied with, “Okay.” But seriously, is he just slacking off right after becoming a Kämpfer? How dangerous. That girl has no sense of urgency.
I signaled to Akane and told her we’d postpone our visit to Sakura-san’s house until later. Then, I finished the curry in one gulp, even though it was already cold.
Kampfer – Volume 4

■
The next day at school, my stomach felt heavy from the morning. Mikoto made too much curry, so It’s been all curry since this morning. There’s still some left in the pot, and she’s planning another batch tonight.Curry. Curry again the day after tomorrow. Curry for a good while. Not even Indians eat that much. Class 2-4 oThe men’s section was full of news about yesterday’s “Great Library Fall.”
“Fall” is a bit of an exaggeration.
The center of attention, naturally, was Higashida. She shared stories that no one knew the origin of. he took it out.
“Apparently, two girls got into a fight over a boy and things got out of hand,” she said as if it were the truth. The gallery murmured in surprise.
“Apparently, a first-year girl pulled out a katana and attacked a second-year girl,” he continued. The truth
And the lies were mixed in. I tried not to listen.
“Was there really a katana? Isn’t that just a rumor?” Hanazawa asked skeptically. Higashida shook his head. quickly.
—That’s true. Apparently, the cut in the collapsed bookshelf was made by a katana. They say it split it into two cleanly.
—The library’s steel shelving must have been almost completely destroyed. How could they have cut through iSo many, one Japanese sword?
—To a certain extent it’s a mystery… It’s believed to have the strength of a gorilla.
Even if you miss the target, you don’t get far away. By becoming a Kämpfer, your strength also increases. —Who is the man at the center of this dispute?
—That’s the question. Currently, the men’s section news club, the section news club The female rumor channel of Seitetsu Academy and the Rumor Research Club have joined forces in In short, but it seems they don’t catch him.
The spectators, inferior to the protagonist, say things like: “Is that so?”, “What a shame” and “Who is that?” “Lucky?” among themselves. They think that if they fight over a man, they will never find him in their lives.
Kampfer – Volume 4
94
I didn’t join that conversation. Even though Higashida was insistently inviting me, I thought that I would end up spilling the beans if I started talking nonsense.
Shortly afterwards, one of my classmates entered the classroom from outside and approached my desk. —Hey, Senou.
For some reason, her voice is surprisingly low. Could she have caught a cold?
—You have a visitor.
-Who is it?
—You have a visitor.
—Yes, who is it?
—You won’t know until you go.
They dragged me away.
I go out into the hallway. There was our student council president, Shizuku.
—What… Madam President?
“It’s not,” Shizuku was looking at me with her arms crossed. She was wearing something around her neck, proan access pass. With his fame, he could probably pass through facial recognition, but in this The place is serious and follows the rules.
His gaze seemed cold.
—Hey, what do you need?
—…
I was squinting. The student who came to find me gave me a shove in the back.
—Hey, what nonsense are you saying to the student council president?
-That?
—Shizuku-sama… She’s the student council president, show more respect. This guy called her “Shizuku-sama.” Is he a member of the “Shizuku-sama’s Scolding Club”?
Kampfer – Volume 4
95
But he’s not entirely wrong. Although I’m used to it, for the guys in the men’s section, Shizuku is like a goddess.
But now is not the time to get nervous.
-… What do you need?
My harsh words seemed disinterested, and the boys around me began to get restless. If I I looked closely; a crowd of thugs were trying to get a quick look at Shizuku and me in the hallway. forming a semicircle around us.
—Do you have something urgent to do?
Shizuku spoke coldly.
Wow! Why does this person seem upset about something? Even though they always have a nonchalant tone, I feel there’s a slight emotional undertone now.
—So, what…?
—Follow me.
Without waiting for my answer, she turned around.
We walked down the hallway, heading down the stairs. I was behind her, followed by a horde of boys in mass.
We left the school building. As I wondered where we were going, she shook her chin. —Next to me.
—Where are we going?
—Please stand next to me.
I did as she ordered. The boys in the back started to get rowdy. “Walk beside Shizuku-sama?!”
Someone shouted, but that was probably what they were really thinking. I don’t feel anything in particular. Rather, I hate it.
I started walking.
—So, where are we going?
Kampfer – Volume 4
96
—I don’t have a particular destination. I just want to talk.
What’s going on? Shizuku was stubbornly walking through the grounds of the boys’ section like Nothing. The boys behind her were doing the same thing.
—… It’s about the library.
Gulp.
—It’s a problem. All this scandal.
—No… I don’t know what you’re talking about.
I tried to avoid it as much as possible, but it didn’t seem to convince me.
—The activation of the sprinkler system due to fires and knife wounds. Are you so stubborn in To claim that Senou-kun is not involved?
—I don’t understand what you’re talking about, I don’t understand…
The library had recently renovated its shelves. Both the new and old ones were destroyed by Complete. The books were soaked from the sprinklers. Closed for cleaning and renovation. time. Where can students study for exams? The student council will help with the
repair costs, but there is a limit.
—Ah… that…
—And if I hadn’t testified at the school that I was with you, Senou Natsuru, the girl, would have been a suspect.you understand?
—No… but…
– Did you get it?
-… I’m sorry.
A surrender unexpected. Shizuku mastered this skill with ease overwhelming.
Honestly, it would be impossible for me to imitate it.
-It would be good that you will consider a little more my effort, don’t you think?
97
Kampfer – Volume 4
I got No response.
Those who follow me whisper: “Is talking with the president”, “I envy”,
“Senou is so annoying”. Although it is because Shizuku scolds me.
Shizuku, keeping his tone cool, he asked me:
-What, then, against who you were fighting?
– …Huh?
-Your opponent. Not to say that it was not a fight between Kämpfer, right?
-Well, is that…
I can’t answer. I know the truth, but I don’t know how you will react on Mikoto, so I remain
silent. Is this woman so direct. I’m not saying to flee, but sometimes childhood friends end badly.
– What happens?
-Eerr…
– Who were you fighting?
-Ahahaha…
Attempt to laugh evasively’.
Shizuku stares at me and says one word:
-Interlocking your arms.
– Huh?
-Intertwines the arms.
Without waiting for a response, he grabbed suddenly my right arm and landed with my left arm.
-¿¡Eeeeeehhhh!?
Not only my cry, one could also hear screaming from behind. It was the excitement of those idiots.
-Shi-… ¡Shizuku-sama did something like this!
-¡Senou, no te perdonare!
98
Kampfer – Volume 4
– How dare you do this to the student council president!?
Oh this is my fault!? Oh why!?
From behind, I threw glances full of apparent intention killer. Yes, this was unquestionably the
theory constant of the idiots high-school kids: “What they can’t believe themselves is deleted from
your memory and rewritten at your convenience”. It seems that what is attributed to me.
-Walks well.
-Pe-But…
-Don’t look back.
I was drawn.
Shizuku was pushing firm up your chest against mine, and my heart was
beating faster in proportion. It resembled a group photo at “Coffee
maid”, but was much more direct. And besides, I was now in the form of men.
Trying to find a way out, my mind was working at full speed.
-Hey, what is not prohibited that type of relationships at this school…?
-If you stay quiet, no one will know.
Even so, he was still the president of the student council.
-Now, just let me know. Who have you fought?
What kind of interrogation is this?
-It is not necessary to answer, but if you let down your guard
here, we don’t know what to do the guys behind, right?
Ah, so you’re just walking through the property of the male section. Go,
have you thought of that. This is not a cross-examination, it is a threat.
-My purpose justifies the means. Depending on the
Kämpfer with which you have fought, my answer will vary. Responds.
-Uh… ah!
99
Kampfer – Volume 4
-Speak clearly. When a guy and a girl are bound,
is the guy who provides the topic of conversation.
-Eh…
-Imagine you’re on a date and talk more.
-…
I can’t.
-Ara…
Shizuku’s voice hardened slightly. His grip on my arm
grew stronger. Do Aah, maybe I have wounded the pride?
-Look at me.
I do what he says. Ah, his expression seemed frozen as dry ice.
– Don’t you want to talk about?
-…
-If you don’t plan to say anything… so, here, I’ll steal another kiss.
Oh no, please, stop!
Even my first kiss I was taken away from him. Now I also removed the second kiss
(does this word exists?), so that I no longer have anything to give to Sakura-san.
But that doesn’t matter. There are people behind me pushing up the meter of hostility, and they are going
to unleash unrest. Test to witness the scene of the kiss of Shizuku and you’ll see. Before I black out, get
crazy and try to kill me. In this case, who stepped forward first, it does not matter. I’m the bad guy. If he saw the
same scene of Sakura-san, without a doubt, it would also result in disturbances, so that I understand well.
-No… I would like to reject that a little…
-Reject is rude, but for now, I will forgive. Well, tell me who was your opponent in the fight.
-…
– Who?

-…
-It will be better to hit instead of a kiss, maybe?
-… Okay…
Finally, I couldn’t contain myself and I confessed the name of Mikoto.
Shizuku showed no particular surprise. Not issued any comment impressed. You only nodded slightly.
-Kondou-san was the one who received the bouquet.
-Sakura-san distributed the animals visceral in the dressing room. What’s that?
-I have not seen it yet. Of course, there is a possibility.
It’s complicated. It means that you can still receive a Kämpfer from this school.
With care, I mentioned that I was worried about.
– …What do you plan to do with Mikoto?
– What is it you want?
-I want you to stay on the sidelines.
-It is impossible.
The words of Shizuku showed no hesitation. I was rejected
without a problem. Ah, I should not have spoken with a woman as well.
-We will have to take measures, although I will not tell you yet what.
– Are you planning to kill Mikoto?
-Don’t get me wrong, I have no intention of removing it. At least not for now.
– Really?
-Yes. Through Kondou-san, and also of Kaede, there is
information that we could obtain. For this reason, do not delete.
-I see…
– Are you satisfied?

I’m not. Put another way, if you wonder what I want to know, could you delete
it. Well, for now it seems that I have avoided the immediate danger.
Shizuku continues.
-But if Kondou-san comes after me, will be different. Do not show mercy.
His tone became cold. I answered reflejamente.
-That is… inevitable.
-You are sincere.
I looked fleetingly at my side.
-That girl is my enemy with your bracelet red. But if I am president,
I will be an ally of Mikoto and I will fight with her.
I said clearly. In the end, we were childhood friends. My
relationship with the third-year student, who had just spoken, was different.
Shizuku did not looked impressed.
-If you can say that it is impressive.
-Hmp.
– What happens?
-It seems that you still lack a lot to make you mine.
-In all aspects.
It took away from my arm. The intention killer of the others behind us slowly calming down.
-I’ve gotten the answers I wanted. Thank you.
-I felt as if I had been threatened.
-It’s good that everything ended peacefully.
– Really?
My heart was beating strong, you know? If it stops beating, you too can make a massage to your heart.

Ding dong. The bell resounds in the land of the male section
and female. It is the signal that the classes are about to begin.
She broke away from me and headed to the women’s section.
-See you. The next Saturday, do not be late.
-Do not get late… Hey, do you intend to leave me here?
Although the idiots are still trying to kill me. The hostility has decreased a
little, but it is only the difference between being torn to pieces and divided in two.
The response of Shizuku, as always, it is good for nothing.
-If you’re lucky, you survive.
This turned out to be true. I managed to avoid the attack of the idiots
and when I got to the classroom, I began to believe in a miracle of God.
