Chapter 1

Kämpfer – Volume 6

As you know, or perhaps there is someone who doesn’t know, let me explain: I, Natsuru Senou, am a man and

a woman at the same time. It sounds like a joke, but it’s true. Although normally, and in my experience, I am I am a man, I can become a woman by transforming. I would like to explain this to those who have doubts.

But the story of how I got here and what happened afterward is very long, to the point that if I were to tell it If all of this were done in front of all the students, half would fall asleep and the other half would probably cause Therefore, I will omit that. In short, as a woman, I am a Kämpfer, a fighter.

Well, having said that, I’m also a second-year student at Seitetsu Private Academy. This school

It’s for boys and girls only, with separate grounds and buildings for each. Although in the present day it doesn’t That makes a lot of sense; it could be a form of curse, like suppressing earth currents.

At this school, I have both male and female enrollments. However, since I only have one body, if

I attend as one, the other is unfailingly absent, which becomes a considerable problem for me. If I try

To be fair, my attendance is reduced to 50%, which would mean repeating the course. Previously, I consulted about this matter with Shizuku Sangou, the all-powerful student council president, and she She told me, “Just attend classes normally.” This heartless woman told me that.

—Listen, Madam President. If I attend as one, I can’t attend as the other. Don’t you understand something as si

that?

Shizuku looked at me intently and replied, “So what? It’s absurd that you’re skipping both classes just because You don’t attend one.” —Well, yes, but…

—Both boys and girls follow the same curriculum, so you won’t have any problems with your

studies, right?

—Hey, don’t tell me to just keep studying like this.

-That’s how it is.

What is this girl saying? Does she get so much fun from bothering me?

—No, it’s not that, it’s that if I do those things, I won’t reach the required number of days of attendance.

—I’ll do something about it.

—What are you going to do?

Kämpfer – Volume 6

-Don’t worry.

She said calmly. Come to think of it, even if she is the student council president, it doesn’t make sense.

The idea that a single student could fix everything—but will she actually do it?—is terrifying. What will the struct power in this school?

—Don’t worry. I’ll help you. But…

With expressionless eyes, he looked at me.

—You will take both exams.

It was a completely depressing sentence. Perhaps the masochists who follow Shizuku would faint from it. pleasure.

So, today I went to the women’s section. I could go to the men’s section too, but, well, for some reason Reason. Anyway, sooner or later I have to show up.

The women’s section I belong to (I was forced to) is class 2-4. Although I’ve gotten quite used to it

The atmosphere is full of girls; the difference in the atmosphere between men and women is quite significant. First, the atmosphere is tense. If you’re getting a headache from this, you might misinterpret that they’re

spreading poison gas, but the quality is completely different from that of men. The shrill voices

They’re really sharp, and you feel like you’re being hit with a hedgehog.

Then, the attitudes aren’t good. The men are pretty bad too, but I’m surprised by how much

It can get quite chaotic when there are no glances from the opposite sex. I’m used to them stirring things up.

They wear their skirts without worrying about public stares, but isn’t there any way to avoid being pressured? They stand against the wardrobe and say, “Oh, it’s cold,” with that happy expression? They’re drenched in swea They leave school and transform into demure girls, which is even more surprising.

The girls in class 2-4 are cute, one of them is quite charming. Sorry for saying this as a guy, But I’m sure the girls feel the same way too.

However, although most of the boys don’t know it, the girls here don’t have very good character.

They’re always in a bad mood, it’s really annoying! Frankly, I only have one ally.

During the break, while I was checking the contents of my wallet, my ally approached.

—Natsuru-san… what’s wrong?

Kämpfer – Volume 6

The person who spoke to me was Akane Mishima, also known as Akane-chan. She’s another Kämpfer, the only

in this class that knows my true identity.

I smiled shyly.

—It’s nothing… I just feel a little lonely.

—For money… maybe?

-Yeah.

My father was transferred far away, and my loving mother left behind her precious son. At first, I thought

which was very cruel, but considering how I would be seen as a woman, it was inevitable.

At least I have enough money to live on thanks to my pension. Of course, I’m the one who receives it. pension. However, managing extra money for entertainment and personal expenses is complicated. for a disorganized high school student. Due to my poor self-control, I always suffer at the end of the

month.

This month is being especially tough. I bought a whole box of the new plushie merchandise from

“Visceral Animals, ‘Visceral Animal Plush Cards’.” Sakura-san said, “Let’s play together.”

If I continue like this, I’ll have to cut back on my expenses or get a job to increase my income. It’s like a A miniature projection of the country’s finances. At least I’m not in the red, that’s something.

—A job, perhaps?

While he was murmuring that, Kaede spoke.

—I-It’s complicated, isn’t it? That… with living expenses and everything.

—Well, yes.

—Wh-… What if, for example, every day… uh, I…

—?

Akane’s face was red somehow. Had she caught a cold, or was it just from the heat?

—I’m going to buy the ingredients… If I cook, well… I’d be helping you, right?

—Well, of course.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

Saving money on food is a valid reason. Although I don’t want it to do too much for me either.

-I’m sorry.

—Don’t worry. Oh, and also, uh, I’ll make your lunch… That way you save on all three meals too…

Akane’s eyes reflected a desperate determination. She looked as if she were about to jump out of

Kiyomizu scenario 1. You don’t need to put so much effort into cooking for me. If you don’t want to, you don’t ha

do it.

-Alright.

-But…

—You know, Mikoto’s been making curry the whole time and I haven’t eaten it all. I should… shouldn’t I?

-Is that so?

—The president has also made curry udon and all that. I don’t need any more people in the kitchen…

Akane wasn’t listening to what I was saying. She was withering away quickly. Like a vegetable without… sufficient humidity.

She was completely losing her energy, but I couldn’t focus on that. The reality of not having

Money doesn’t change anything. While I was thinking about that, the fact that they cooked for me without expre This means I’m wasting a lot. Meat and animal products are surely more expensive than… as expected.

While I was worrying about all this, a classmate approached from another direction.

—Senou-san, Senou-san.

The president, a girl wearing glasses, approached with a slight smile.

—I heard something about your lack of money, is that right?

-Yeah…

I calmed down. My current appearance is completely female, but my voice remains the same as when He was a man, unchanged. I always speak in the same tone, which makes them suspicious.

“I have something good to tell you,” I said, cautiously approaching.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

“What’s going on?” she asked the class president as she handed me a crumpled sheet of paper.

I frowned as I read the text.

—… Club “Aoi”, looking for customer service staff.

—What do you think?

—This is… a job ad for a cabaret!

What the hell are you thinking? I’m a high school student.

The class president was smiling broadly. Probably, no, she was definitely serious.

I was seriously trying to become a cabaret waitress.

—Since Senou-san is beautiful, she will become number one immediately.

-It’s not that…!

—You’ll also earn money.

Damn it. That must be the reason. Surely they’ll not only make me money, but also receive a commission.

for recommending me to the establishment. It’s a kind of legal human trafficking.

Although she has a charming appearance, the class president seems to like some rather sordid things.

The other girls in the class also have a “slightly distorted sense” of reality.

My preconceived notion of high school students clearly doesn’t match reality. And it’s not just me.

During the cultural festival, our class was running a café called: “Criada’s ‘Type’ Café”.

It would simply be a “Maids’ Cafe”, why add “type”?

—Huh? You’re going to work in a cabaret, Natsuru-tan?

—It pays 3,000 yen per hour. It’s a good business, isn’t it?

Two girls from the class approached me from somewhere.

With a cheerful, familiar voice, the vice president placed her hand on my shoulder. She’s the only one who calls “So,” she said confidently despite the vastness of Japan. The treasurer tapped the calculator, saying nothing se Despite her expressionless face, her mind is quick and she is an expert in matters of profit and loss.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

These three controlled class 2-4. It wasn’t that there were power struggles, they simply stood out more than oth

necessary.

—I won’t do something like that…!

I tried to speak without raising my voice too much while I complained.

—I don’t need to go to a nightclub…

—What’s wrong? If I were Natsuru-tan, I’d definitely be popular.

—If you play your cards right, you could win ten million.

They were always talking nonsense. By the way, their “letter” was apparently money borrowed in advance, like I learned later.

—I have no interest…

Even if I were interested, that’s my business as a man. Maybe I’ll try it when I get a job.

The president was still smiling bravely.

—Actually, Natsuru-san.

Speaking in a low voice. Sometimes his glasses would glow strangely; perhaps they had built-in LEDs?

—I have more good news for you. Do you remember the cultural festival?

-Yeah…

Personally, I’d rather forget it. I worked in the “maid-type cafe” and it left me with a bit of trauma.

Heart. I’ll never wear a maid’s outfit again.

-And then…?

—Actually, my sister is working at that place.

I found myself in a bind. For a moment my thoughts stopped. The fact that the president has

Having an older sister surprised me. Well, when I think about it, it’s not that strange to have sisters, but someho She thought she was an only child.

—My sister runs an entertainment business; she has a group of clubs in Tokyo. That’s what It’s on the flyer you received.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

I see. I thought he was quite skilled.

—My sister loved the “like a coffee maid” themed cafe at the cultural festival and wants to experience it

more than that.

-I see.

—So he’d like you, Natsuru-san, to do it.

-… No, thanks.

I refused before she could say more. The president looked at me with a questioning expression.

There’s no way. In short, they want me to wear maid’s clothes and serve people. How annoying. Not even I don’t even want to work as a waitress in a family-run restaurant. Much less do I want to work in someone’s hom How ridiculous.

Akane looked at me with a certain anxiety. The president continued.

“We wouldn’t ask you to be a maid. We just want you to dress like one.” —It’s the same thing.

—Don’t say that. You’ll be paid.

-No, thanks.

I was tempted by the daily payment, but I didn’t let the president continue. This person is very… eloquent. Besides, even the other two seem to agree. Look, even the treasurer is bringing it up. calculator.

But why do these girls keep bothering me so much? Since I have to juggle two roles, as a man and Woman, I want to go unnoticed as much as possible, but thanks to the president and the others, they are… making yourself the center of attention anyway.

Ignoring the girls who were shouting that I was a maid or a hostess, I left the room. Without a place in I had no idea who to turn to; I was just planning to curl up in a corner of the schoolyard. I feel like

an insect.

—Uhm…

A weak voice stopped me in my tracks. Huh?

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—Eer… Natsuru-san…

I turned around and there was Akane.

—Um… about the previous conversation…

-What’s happening?

I answered cautiously. It would be a problem if someone else overheard us.

—About the class president’s sister…

-I won’t do it.

—Ah, I thought the same thing. That’s why I told them I wouldn’t ask…

—Huh? Wait a minute. What?

The conversation was strange. I don’t understand.

Akane was surprised and quickly corrected herself.

—S-Sorry. Before Natsuru-san came to school, I was talking to the student council president’s sister. advice. About your sister…

—Hee…

—The class president wasn’t the only one; there was also the vice president and the treasurer… uh, so,

They wanted to set up a “maid café-like” outside the school. And then they asked me if I could

to dress up as a maid…

—…Are you going to do it?

I asked her gently, but she became very nervous.

—Um… I-I, maybe a maid uniform wouldn’t be so bad… it’s just that… w-well, you know!

I decided to say nothing and wait for her to calm down. It seems girls are interested in adorable costumes.

What an absurd topic.

—So, they “forced” me to do it. I-… By force… but, since I didn’t want to do it alone, I told the others And then, to Natsuru-san…

—… Do you want me to do it?

Kämpfer – Volume 6

-Hey…?

—No, does Akane-chan prefer it?

She answered timidly in a low voice.

—I prefer to do it together…

Akane seemed saddened.

I see. So, if I thought I was being singled out by the class president, it turns out it was by…

This. I can also understand why the vice president and treasurer got involved. It seems they’ve already… considered my situation.

-What do you think…?

She looked at me with pleading eyes. Mmm, there’s something exciting about all this.

Putting aside my sexual preferences, I can’t accept this so easily. After all, it’s the The older sister of that class president. I don’t know who she really is.

As I hesitated to answer, Akane suddenly blinked and looked behind me.

Feeling an unpleasant sensation, I looked behind me. There stood the president and the vice president. smiling ironically. The treasurer was there too, although this girl rarely laughed.

—You’re going to do it in the end, right?

—Natsuru-tan can’t refuse, after all.

—If you let me take charge of the management, I’ll handle the salary negotiations.

I understood instantly. They were probably after me from the beginning. After talking to Akane,

They would try to persuade me step by step. If you want to shoot the general, you shoot the ox first, right? Or w

raccoon2…

It’s the same thing. In any case, he was being manipulated by the president and the others.

—…

When she didn’t answer, the president’s glasses sparkled.

—We already have the maid uniform ready for Senou-san, including spare parts.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—Not that again?

—Even your friend Mishima-san will participate

I felt Akane’s gaze fixed on my back. There was no escape now. Surely all of this was…

Calculated. Although I didn’t feel comfortable continuing, there were no other options but to surrender. With a ge Resigned, I nodded with annoyance.

The president smiled.

—Thank you. My sister will be happy too.

—Yes! We’ll see Natsuru-tan’s maid uniform again!

—We won’t charge you for the uniform rental.

Were you the one who organized it again?

The president continued writing something in her notebook.

—This coming Sunday. I’ll let you know the location later. Also, because there will be guests.

-Hey…?

I was about to say that I was the guest, but I stopped myself. Oh, it was a maid.

—I’ll be inviting some people, so please take care of the service.

-Because?

I was about to protest even that, but I stopped myself. There was no point in saying it.

Because I’m a maid, right?

■

Since I was disappointed by the women’s section, I waited for lunch and went to the men’s section. Well, I always feel disappointed by girls anyway.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

Turning back into a boy, I approached class 2-4. Some people glanced at me, but no

They reacted beyond that, as if they were thinking, “Here she goes again.” It’s a bit cold, but I’m glad. The madn The women’s section is strange. Thanks to that, I’ve been nicknamed “King of the Retarded,” but I I accept.

The only classmate who approached was Higashida.

—Hey, Natsuru, you’re late, aren’t you?

—When you’re like me, they let you arrive late like a top executive, you know?

—They shouldn’t allow it. Kudo from the orientation department was looking for you.

—Ah…

I whimpered. Kudo is a passionate teacher who is everywhere and who strictly controls those

that go beyond the boundaries of the school. In my case, I’m so far out of bounds that I’m only

stockings in the men’s section, so he’s been keeping an eye on me lately. Although there are also rumors of He’s a good teacher in some circles. Certainly, passion and personality can go hand in hand.

Oh well, never mind. I’m going to pressure Shizuku. I was turned into a dual swordsman (Is it okay to use him li

By the student council president. Do something with your power.

-Besides…

Higashida grabbed the sleeve of the uniform.

—Let go of me, it’s annoying!

—Listen. I was contacted by the Beauty Research Club.

—Are they still doing that?

—You’re the advisor. Did you know that? In fact, they have an honorary president.

Is it possible that someone I don’t even know is the honorary president while I’m just an advisor?

Special? How broad.

Although it has a habit of looking down on others, this Beauty Research Club is actually important.

It has members not only in the male section but also in the female section, and according to Higashida, they are

by an iron rule.” It is thanks to these types that detailed information about

Kämpfer – Volume 6

The girls’ section of Seitetsu Academy. They’re probably among the top three underground clubs.

Of course, they have a generous budget. Apparently, photo album sales in the

The cultural festival was significant. Within those albums, a girl named Senou-san from the section The feminine form was very popular and was also one of the causes of my headache.

—I received a message from one of the senior managers. It turns out the honorary president visited our festival

cultural.

—That’s news to me.

—We maintained control of the information. If the school finds out, the whole system will fall apart.

The true nature of the organization shouldn’t be known. Not even I know everything.

It’s like the French resistance under the Nazi occupation.

—So what about this kind of adventure novel?

—The honorary president liked the “maid-style cafeteria” they had in the women’s section.

—…

I was speechless. What did you say, Higashida-san?

The man in whose veins stupidity and greed flowed, with an exaggerated gesture brought his mouth close to m

ear.

—Wasn’t it class 2-4 of the women’s section that ran that cafeteria? One of the top executives She is the president of that place.

I didn’t say anything. I wasn’t surprised at all.

—The president’s sister is the honorary president. She seems very excited about the “coffee-type”

“maid.” She says she wanted to experience it firsthand. After all, she’s the honorary president, not someone wh

can deny.

—That makes sense, but why is it being run by the women’s section?

—Class 2-4 of the female section is deeply connected with the Beauty Research Club.

Even the sales of photo albums are due to their cooperation.

Kämpfer – Volume 6 25

Ah, that makes sense. The treasurer had her computer screen open, filling in the software cells. spreadsheet with numbers.

—But if the “maid-type” café was only for the women’s section, shouldn’t it be only in the hands of that class?

What does that have to do with us?

It has to do with me.

—Yes, it’s related. I told you the president was one of the top executives. It’s been decided that we, The Beauty Research Club, we will be invited as clients to the home of the honorary president.

It’ll be a party, a real party!

What is that? What kind of fun is that?

While my head began to hurt terribly, the big idiot’s face shone like a movie.

Newly purchased fluorescent light.

What a funny story, right? Being invited to a party at someone else’s house, and with maids too!

It must be a great pleasure for men. I’m sure it will be interesting for women too.

But what Higashida doesn’t know is that I’ve been asked to act as a maid. There’s no fun in that.

That’s it. I’m not the guest of honor, I’m the one who serves. I have to work.

—Of course I intend to attend.

-That’s good.

Higashida put his hand on my shoulder.

—I also secured your seat.

-Hey!?

I spoke out loud without meaning to. This idiot, it doesn’t matter how much he doesn’t know.

—I also requested that Senou-san be allowed to join as a special advisor. Thank you.

—Who’s going to do it?! I have no intention of going.

—Don’t be embarrassed. Even though they’re maids, they’re girls from the women’s section. There’s no reason highly strung.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—I don’t want to go! I have things to do!

—Cancel your plans. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

What are you saying? Once is enough.

I kept protesting: “It’s important,” “I can’t be absent,” “I’ll be cursed if I’m absent,” but Higashida interrupted He used religious language, saying that if he attended, everyone would be happy. Once this guy decides on som

who sees nothing else.

I tried hard not to start feeling desperate. Even if my feminine self has to attend, do I have to leave?

What if my male self goes too? How did we get to this point?

Thinking about it that far, my face went pale. Does this mean there will be two of me in the same place?

That’s impossible. How could something like that happen? There’s no way the waitress and the guest could be. at the same time, right?

Either way, one of us has to be absent. I tried to stop Higashida, but the bell rang mercilessly and Kudo quickly entered.

Ah, it’s time for the infirmary. Kudo stared at me and said, “Sit down quickly.”

In many ways, it’s frustrating. I have to smile politely and act like a serious student just to avoid being…

Calling the guidance office was my only option.

■

Once home, I called Akane to tell her that I “had a problem.” She responded immediately: “Understood.” “I’ll be right there.” She seemed excited to come to my house. Even though I haven’t cleaned.

Before he arrived, I decided to tell someone what had happened. Who? A stuffed animal that lives in my house. as a tenant.

I told the stuffed tiger with an eye patch that was sitting on my desk what happened today.

—Ahaha.

I laugh amusingly.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—What a misfortune. There’s no other way.

It’s not worth introducing it late. It’s the visceral animal series, Harakiritora. Its entrails

The things sticking out of his stomach are surreal. Apparently, the manufacturer is promoting it with the slogan ” “children’s future,” but aren’t they really trying to instill trauma?

—How do we solve this?

I said, annoyed.

—I only have one body, how can I be two?

—What do you plan to do?

—We’ll talk about that.

There’s a noise at the front door. Akane has arrived, it seems.

I went down to the first floor and opened the door. She bowed her head in greeting.

She’s such a polite girl. When it comes to Mikoto, she bangs on the door like a marimba, or just

breaks the lock without making a sound.

First, I had him go up to the second floor. I would explain it like with Harakiritora, omitting his membership in the Beauty Research.

She wasn’t smiling, she was just surprised.

—How is that possible… Natsuru-san, both the man and the woman Natsuru-san?

—Yes. I have to go.

—What will you do about the maids?

-I don’t know.

He couldn’t think about anything else. That’s why he had called her for advice.

Akane, nodding in front of me, was concerned about me. She’s a really good girl. Unlike Shizuku,

If she’s not here, she’d probably use my distress as an appetizer. It would be great if Akane got along with Sakura-san.

—Natsuru-san… Both male Natsuru-san and female Natsuru-san should rest.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—So, Akane-chan wouldn’t disagree?

-Yeah…

—I want some other plan… like, for example, having a female double of me.

—Is there anyone who looks like female Natsuru-san?

—… There isn’t one.

There could have been, but there wasn’t time to search for and convince someone from scratch.

—Why not give up and tell everything?

Harakiritora said something irresponsible.

—What method of self-destruction is that?

—Perhaps everyone will be surprised and end up accepting it.

—They would normally reject you.

Who would believe a man could turn into a woman? Even if they did, the next day he’d be treated…

as a rarity and exhibited at the Asahikawa Zoo with explanations of its behavior. Furthermore, Wouldn’t it be punished by the moderator? This plush toy doesn’t think about the consequences.

Fearfully, Akane spoke.

—Ah… I guess there’s no other option but to leave after all.

—Well, that’s true.

—Is it wrong to switch places mid-way?

How are we going to do it?

Akane moistens her lips with her tongue.

—It seems that both male and female Natsuru have to dress as maidens… and change

at the right time.

—It’s a rather brutal method, isn’t it?

—But there is no other option.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

Of course not. There’s no right way to do it, and even if there were, there isn’t time.

But this is a real balancing act. It’s impossible for two identical people to be in the same place at the same time.

At the same time, but we’re trying to force it. Is it like David Copperfield’s magic? It seems so. I’m the only one having problems. I’d love to be able to shift some of the burden to Higashida or the

chairwoman.

After careful consideration, I can’t think of a better solution. In the end, I was forced to continue.

Akane’s plan, with no other options.

■

Sunday.

I don’t remember what the weather was like. If it wasn’t raining, then it was probably a nice day. no bomb falls, everything is fine.

With a heavy heart, I went to the president’s sister’s house. I thought they would come to

Someone was supposed to pick me up in a car, but since that didn’t happen, I had to take the train. I wore big s

and I became another JR customer.

I became a woman. At first, I thought about dressing as a man to a certain extent and then transforming.

I went to the station bathroom as a woman, but since it was crowded, I gave up. Then I went home.

But if any of the neighbors see me going out like this, things would get very complicated, so I’ve been very care Since I became a Kämpfer, nothing good has happened.

On the way I met up with Akane, and at the station where we got off the class president was waiting for us.

—Welcome.

Ah, thank you.

—I’ll guide you… Senou-san, what big shoes you have!

Uh… yes.

He hugs me tightly. If they see inside, it would be problematic.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—What do you have inside?

—Makeup and stuff…

None of that. It’s something different.

The president is not pressuring us anymore and is leading us.

-Here.

I thought we were going for a walk, but it was a taxi. Wow, how ostentatious.

In a quiet residential neighborhood, on a quiet street, houses are scattered here and there. The people People tend to think that in Tokyo there are only cramped houses or apartments because of the price of land, b There are indeed large houses, they just don’t get as much attention. This area is a perfect example. We got out of the taxi and went through a gate enclosed by an iron fence. A gate? At my house there’s a

entrance right there.

Upon entering a large mansion like an inn, a calm woman greeted us.

—Thank you for coming. I’m this girl’s sister.

The president’s sister bows gracefully. Ah, she has the air of a young lady from a good family.

—Thank you for listening to my whims. Please come this way.

We walked down a carpeted hallway. I nudged the president with light elbows.

—…Is that your sister?

-Yes it is.

—The husband is…

—My sister is single.

I see. I thought she was married somehow. She had that attitude. I kept asking.

—She doesn’t appear to own a water-related business…

—Everyone says the same thing, that business and personal life are separate things.

—Even the honorary president of the Beauty Research Club…

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—That’s another matter…

The president stared at me.

—Senou-san, where did you get that information?

I panicked. Damn it, I heard that from Higashida, back when he was a man.

Anyway, I improvised: “Just by hearsay, through the whisper of the wind.” It’s not as if these

Rumors spread easily. Although it may not seem like it, it’s better than staying silent.

They took me to a room with tatami mats. The older sister just said, “Wait a moment,” and left.

Inside were the vice president and the treasurer.

—Oh, Natsuru-tan and Akane-chan are here. Hello.

—You’re late. This will be deducted from your daily pay.

They were a well-coordinated duo. But that went without saying.

At the far end of the room, there was a simple coat rack with maids’ uniforms neatly arranged.

The vice president said: “Take a look. These are better quality uniforms than those from the cultural festival.

The fabric and tailoring are of high quality.

It must be true. Even from here you can see that the quality is good.

—Natsuru-tan’s uniform has become sexier too.

I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that.

I casually asked the president.

—And the customers…?

—They should arrive soon.

She confirmed the time on her wristwatch.

—What types of people…?

—Didn’t I say so? They’re boys from the men’s section.

Kämpfer – Volume 6 32

A weight appeared in my stomach. So it was true. I had been expecting some kind of thing to happen.

A miracle would have prevented Higashida and the others from arriving, but it didn’t work. It seems the god of fa

—My sister said that she would probably also be a future customer of a maid-themed cafe, so

who also wants to conduct an investigation.

Without asking any more questions, I gestured to Akane.

—U-Uhm… President…

Akane spoke as if she could barely contain herself.

—Could I use the bathroom, please?

—Uh, me too…

I timidly raised my hand. The president didn’t show any particular suspicion and led us to the

bathroom.

Although it wasn’t specifically for men and women, it was a very luxurious bathroom with a very… appearance Elegant. I thought even the toilet might be gold-plated, but apparently that wasn’t the case.

—Natsuru-san, please…

This isn’t right. I didn’t come here for this. I unzip my shoes.

Inside are men’s clothing items. Jeans of a different color than the ones…

He was wearing a shirt and a jacket. I checked his shoes and they were there, in good condition. It’s something It’s often overlooked. If there weren’t two pairs of shoes, it would raise suspicions.

I quickly took off my clothes. Two large mounds of fat were revealed, but now was not the time to

cringe.

—Akane-chan, go into the bathroom.

-Hey…?

—Because I’m going to be a man again.

When the transformation was complete, he would be naked like a man.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

Akane, for some reason, squirmed a little before entering the bathroom with a disappointed expression. What w

that?

I raised my right arm forcefully. The blue oath bracelet glowed, and light flowed throughout my body.

I became a man again. I put my clothes back on.

-Alright.

Akane came out of the bathroom and said, “…Have you changed yet?” Of course I’ve changed. But before that, outside?

First, she went out into the hallway. After making sure no one was around, I came out of the bathroom too.

I ran with effort, trying not to make any noise.

—This house doesn’t have security cameras, does it?

-… Maybe.

Maybe. I have no idea.

I took the opposite path I came in on and left through the main door. Luckily, I didn’t run into anyone. As I walked out the door, I felt a little furtive. It probably would have been better to act more discreetly. safety, but it’s a matter of how you feel.

—Natsuru-san! Over there.

Akane pointed further down the road. The familiar faces of the boys from the section were coming this way.

—Come back soon, Akane-chan.

—Y-Yes.

—If the president tells you something, act as we planned.

—Yes. Take care, Natsuru-san.

It feels like we’re going into battle. There may be similarities, but they’re not the same.

Akane limped as she returned to the mansion. It seemed she had tripped, considering the shouts of “Kyaahh!” I hope she wasn’t hurt.

I calmed myself down by taking a deep breath and greeted Higashida who had arrived.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—Me. You’re late.

—It’s not too late.

Higashida checked the time on his mobile phone.

—You arrived early. How long has Senou been here?

—About thirty minutes ago, I suppose.

The idiot smiles maliciously.

—How quick! So eager to receive the maids’ attention? Despite all your complaints about it.

—Shut up. I had my reasons.

—Don’t try to deceive me, don’t try to deceive me.

She laughs uproariously. Of course, how convenient for those who know nothing. Flourishing in ignorance. Apart from Higashida, there are a few more: Hanzawa from the same course, and others whose names I don’t k They must be members of the Beauty Research Club. Some of them seem to be on sports teams.

So apparently they have a wider reach than I thought.

—Senou-kun!

For some reason, aside from Higashida and Hanzawa, everyone else lines up and bows. I stay.

petrified.

—It’s an honor to meet the special advisor!

—Thank you in advance!

Wait a minute. What are they thinking, doing this right in the middle of the street?

They bow their heads almost as if they were making a full bow, and I, not knowing what to do, sit Awkward. The taxi driver is looking at us curiously. He probably thought this was some kind of… religious celebration or yakuza.

—Don’t make a scene.

Hanzawa says while clapping.

Kämpfer – Volume 6 35

—Senou isn’t very active, but he knows the latest news in the women’s section and gives good advice.

Thanks to him, sales of the photo album have increased. We will never forget our gratitude towards him.

-Understood!

Ha! I don’t know why, but this is so embarrassing. So the Beauty Research Club is more like

A sports club! Just when I thought that, they start talking about completely different things. Not even They’re trying to involve me in the conversation next door. Ah, so they are from the cultural sphere.

It’s inevitable, so I decided to guide them by saying “this way” and they all followed me in a disorganized fashion

We entered the mansion. It was difficult to gather those who were wandering around restlessly and in a disorde Higashida and Hanzawa weren’t much help either, so I had to say, “Get in line. Silence.” We opened the heavy door.

-Welcome. -Welcome.

This time we were greeted politely. There were girls in maid uniforms. The president, the

Vice President and Treasurer. Usually careless and disappointing, they showed a hospitality

Impeccable. Higashida and the others were… different. They even straightened their clothes and lined up. correctly without realizing it. What’s going on here?

—Welcome, customers. Please follow me.

The president invited us with elegant gestures.

—W-Wait…

I don’t know why, but I felt intimidated. Just like at the cultural festival, I couldn’t keep up with these people. people.

She smiled sweetly. I’d never seen that melting smile before.

—You’re Natsuru Senou from the male section, right? Nice to meet you.

—…Yes, I’m Natsuru Senou.

To me, it was a blatant interaction.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—I’ve heard a lot of things about you.

What could he be implying with that? Higashida probably told him some nonsense about me.

—Seriously, you have the same name as the Natsuru from the female section.

—It’s something that’s said frequently.

It’s the same person.

—Your voice is similar too, isn’t it? Senou-san has a very raspy voice.

Hmm, this is getting dangerous. Maybe it would be best not to say too much.

While he hesitated about whether to answer or not, Higashida shouted from behind.

—And Natsuru-chan, the girl?

—Yes, it’s here, but…

The class president looked around.

—It seems she hasn’t come out yet. She said she was going to the bathroom and she hasn’t returned.

That was the lie she had prepared. She pretended to be sick and take refuge in the bathroom. If she didn’t do th

too forced.

—In the bathroom?

—It seems she’s suffering from constipation and menstrual cramps at the same time, and she also has a mild anal prolapse.

One moment.

—That sounds pretty serious…

Higashida seemed to be taking pity on me. Well, I had no idea either.

—Yes, I didn’t know he had health problems. Also, it seems he can sometimes have mental lapses and

to say strange things.

—Hmm, for such a cute character, that sounds a bit negative, don’t you think?

Shut up, idiot!

Kämpfer – Volume 6

I looked for Akane, but she wasn’t anywhere. Where on earth did she go? I thought she probably…

There would be another way to excuse myself.

—What’s wrong, Senou-san?

The president suddenly approached me, startling me.

—No, nothing in particular… Well, what about Mishima-san?

—Mishima-san is preparing something in the cafeteria. But…

She bowed her head.

—I suppose you’re quite well-informed about this, aren’t you?

I hastened to add.

—Well, actually, only a little.

—It seems you know a lot about the women’s section.

—Well, yes, it’s because I’m a special advisor.

Higashida joined the conversation with a cheerful expression.

—Senou has information about the women’s section through an exclusive route. It’s the ace up his sleeve.

Beauty Research Club.

—Truly impressive. This should even be discussed at the board meeting.

—I think we should promote him to top-ranking chief.

I don’t think so. In fact, I don’t want to get involved. Why does my position keep going up without me doing anyt

We were taken to the dining room. For some reason, I was at the front. Do they see me as the leader of this gro

Why the dining room? Because of a strange desire to “eat with the help of a maid.” The sister of the The president is someone who simply complies with this. It seems she is also part of the investigation. market.

In the dining room was Akane, who quickly bowed when she saw us.

—Welcome.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

Don’t rush so much. Look, I stepped on your hem.

As I helped Akane on the ground, I whispered.

Where are my clothes?

—On the shelf above the sink in the bathroom…

Apparently, he had hidden it somewhere it wouldn’t be immediately discovered. I tried to mention

about the anal tear, but she was called by the president and left.

The maids escorted the customers to their seats. “Maids” is the proper term for these girls.

I was directed by the treasurer. This girl, for some reason, doesn’t want to look at me. Is that okay with the maid It looks cute.

The president was speaking in a low voice to Akane.

—Can you get in touch with Senou-san?

—It seems… that… he’s not feeling well…

She coughed intentionally, and I said to the treasurer:

—I’m sorry, I’m going to the bathroom.

—I’ll guide you.

—Okay. I’ll find it myself.

That was close! I almost said something unnecessary that would have raised suspicions. Although I felt the trea Something, I preferred to ignore.

I run out of the cafeteria. I go into the bathroom and transform. At least, that’s how I feel about being a girl.

I take a large bag off the shelf and take out the maid’s uniform.

For a moment, I was overcome with a feeling of despair at having to put it on again, but I don’t have Another option. Hurry, Natsuru. Change quickly!

I put on my uniform and checked myself from head to toe. At the same time, I felt like I was about to

fall on my back.

Kämpfer – Volume 6 39

What is this? Why are the shoulders so bare, the back completely visible, and the skirt so short?

Is this really a maid uniform? Isn’t it just putting a skirt on a bunny?

As the vice president said, it’s unnecessarily erotic. And with the white ribbon too, I suppose.

Technically, it’s a maid’s pet. If it had rabbit ears, it would clearly be a bunny.

She’s even wearing high heels. How am I supposed to go out like that? But there’s no time.

Resisting the urge to look ridiculous, I ran back to the cafeteria. I took a deep breath to calm myself and then op

door.

“Ooohh…”, the mood rose silently.

All the boys were staring at me. More than seeing a maid, it seemed like they were watching me.

A rare creature in the zoo. Seen like that, it’s natural that they would think so.

Trying to avoid their stares, I leaned forward.

—Sorry for the delay. Welcome, customers.

Suppressing the humiliation, I bowed. Reciting these lines so fluently is probably a

The result of training for the cultural festival. You never know what might be useful in life.

—Senou-san, please attend to this customer.

The president told me. By the way, the reason for calling him client instead of master is that the “master” is She’s really the president’s older sister. Admirable, but why are they so concerned about these

details?

And the client I was told to accompany turns out to be none other than Higashida.

This idiot had a radiant smile on his face.

—Hello, Natsuru-chan! It’s been a long time.

I smile back. When he speaks in such a familiar tone, I really want to say something like “This idiot!”, but I hold it in. After all, we’re classmates.

—Since the cultural festival, right?

-Yeah.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—I’ve missed you. That was fun.

-Thank you…

—I’m counting on your collaboration today.

-Yeah.

I should keep my answers short anyway. I don’t know what would happen if it got discovered.

As I look at the empty seat to his left, —Here, Senou, the boy, you know?

I know.

—He’s in the bathroom now. Natsuru-chan, could you take care of him too?

-Hey…?

I glance at the class president, but she just nods as if it’s normal.

—Senou-san, please also take care of the Senou boy.

-But…

—He seems to be in the bathroom now.

Higashida says, “That boy isn’t dangerous, so he’s fine,” but that’s not true. Why do I have to take care of myse Same? Is this a self-service buffet?

Of course, no one here knows about these problems. Akane seems nervous, as if she were listening. Without However, it doesn’t seem to be of any help.

I was fighting back tears. Somehow, my shoulders felt cold. Could it be because I’m

exposed?

Finally, the president’s sister arrived. Somehow, her aura seemed to be that of the owner of this house.

Later I learned that the house was actually in the sister’s name and that it was owned by some CEO of

It was an IT company, but it was mortgaged by the bank and auctioned off, so it was acquired at a very low pric

low.

-Hello everyone!

Kämpfer – Volume 6

He greets us again. We, the maids, remain motionless.

—Thank you for listening to my whims. Please, enjoy your day in peace.

The vice president brought a cart from the kitchen. Although it was lunchtime, there were only snacks and drink The president lifted the lid. The girls, including me, took tea sets from the cart. There was a teapot. for each one. Surveys had been taken on each person’s tea preferences.

Careful not to lose my smile, I served Higashida. He was smiling happily. What will happen if he finds out who Am I really?

I wrap the handle of the teapot, which I’ve preheated with the tea leaves, with a napkin so I don’t burn myself. and I pour slowly into the cup without making foam.

—Do you want sugar?

—One spoonful.

Taking sugar with a silver spoon from the sugar bowl, I even considered throwing the teapot in, but that That would be too extreme. Revolving is the maid’s job.

Lemon and milk on the side. They’re to your liking.

I place a cup and a teapot on the empty seat next to me.

-Oh…

The one who said it was the sister of the class president.

—And here?

—This is Natsuru Senou, from the male section.

—That special advisor…

Upon hearing Higashida’s response, his sister made a face that said, “Ah, I see.” “Huh? Am I that famous?” He’s out of his seat. Is he lost?

—Without a special advisor, we can’t begin, can we?

No, I’d like you to do it without worries.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—Let’s wait for him to return.

The boys obeyed without a word. Oh no, this is bad.

—I’ll… go call him.

I stood up gracefully (or so I thought) and ran out of the dining room without waiting for permission. I ran down t I rushed to the bathroom and transformed. I changed at lightning speed. I hadn’t dressed so fast since… costume contest at the elementary school.

I went back the way I had run and opened the dining room door.

—I’m sorry, I arrived late.

Adopting as silly an attitude as possible, I sat down in my chair, smiling foolishly. The sister of the The class president stared at me. Higashida whispered to her.

—Hey, Senou. You’re late.

—I’m sorry, I’m sorry.

—Even if you’re late, you should have manners. The other party is the honorary president. Read the room.

How annoying, I hope you die.

The sister said, “Well, please, enjoy.”

Snack time and a chat. Truly a carefree group of students. The conversation began

in a flash.

Instead of talking to each other, they spent their time chatting with the maids. The members of the Club of Beauty Research was also quite brazen. However, you colleagues are dealing with

second-year girls from the female section.

Hanzawa’s interlocutor was Akane. She was so nervous she could barely answer, and

Hanzawa felt a little discouraged. Well, when you’re talking to a guy, it’s inevitable.

Looking at the other girls, at least they were trying to look like maids.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

Even I, who am not an expert on the subject, could notice the difference between “looking like maids” and actua

The president was impeccable, but I don’t think the deputy president, who cackled at dad jokes and He explained the tactics of actions and pyramid schemes, so that he was up to the task.

I was alone, drinking my tea in silence.

Whether alone or with someone, the taste doesn’t change. Men do well with solitude.

—Senou-san, are you feeling unwell or something?

The president asked politely, shirking her responsibilities, but it’s not that she’s actually there.

I’m worried about my health. Perhaps it would be more appropriate to look like a maid.

—That’s not why, but…

—You’ve always been like this, Senou.

Higashida intervened unnecessarily.

—You’ve been skipping school lately, haven’t you? Are you playing video games at home or something?

—No, I don’t.

—Are you going to become a hermit? Go to school more.

You just don’t know it, but I go to school. Since becoming a Kämpfer, I haven’t even taken a single class.

I have a cold. I’m a regular.

—Okay. Why isn’t Natsuru-chan here?

All of Higashida’s understanding rested on himself.

—That girl is certainly pretty.

“She’s the most popular in our class,” the president said. She wanted to say something else, but at the cultural They chose me, that’s for sure.

—Even in the photo album, everyone paid attention to Natsuru-chan.

I never thought about it… but I was worried about how I am.

I don’t know what to say. Higashida seemed to take it as a statement and smiled contentedly. You’ll always act Idiot. Then he remembered something.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—Wait, didn’t you like Sakura-san?

-Yeah.

I didn’t deny it. Because I’m a man who lives for Sakura-san.

—Hey, are you switching to Natsuru-chan now? You’re not clever.

—I have no intention of changing.

“It’s not okay to cheat,” even the president said.

—Women like sincere men. Senou-san, on the other hand, has a tendency to pick on…

any.

—Ah, I see.

Higashida was convinced with a foolish expression. Wait a moment.

—There was an article like that in the school newspaper.

—It’s all true. It’s a rule in our class.

—Hey…!

The president looked at me.

—Is there a problem?

-No…

—That person is always trying to get close to the pretty girls. Ever since he transferred, a lot of freshmen have b They fell into his clutches.

Don’t talk nonsense! I hardly know anyone from one year to the next.

—Is the toxic girl rude?

Higashida showed great interest.

“No, it seems all the girls are crazy about her. She’s beautiful.” —With that face and that body, of course.

■Everyone thought she was a lesbian, but now they say she also sleeps with boys.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

Clearly a lie. A complete lie.

The class president was improvising her speech. Since her expression didn’t change at all, that was Talent. Was she a con artist in a past life?

—Ooh, it seems.

The idiot next to him leaned forward.

—Finally, also with men. There are no limits. It’s okay if she likes to intimidate others using toys. but…

By the way, this guy is a masochist. The class president replied, “That’s possible.”

—Their preferences are very varied. It’s rumored in the women’s section that they might eventually also… will mess with animals.

-Idiot…!

Without thinking, I screamed. What kind of pervert is this? It’s all made up by the class president.

They both looked at me in surprise. Higashida looked at me with pity.

—I understand you’re shocked. But what’s with this condescending attitude? Women have their dark side.

You should be more realistic.

—No, that goes for me… Well, I think reality is different too.

—It was someone from the same classroom who said it.

I took a deep breath. This isn’t right; my brain isn’t getting enough oxygen.

—Higashida, think this through. Natsuru isn’t that kind of girl, is she?

—Women’s interests are profound. It’s a mistake for us men to try to understand them.

all.

—Don’t go upstairs suddenly. She’s a normal girl.

—However, there are statistics that indicate that beautiful women have perverted tastes.

-It isn’t true!

Kämpfer – Volume 6

A deep sigh is useless, not even as useful as plankton. It’s pointless. How can I make it Will she understand me?

As always, the class president is the same as always.

—Even if I say so, you’re dreaming too much.

This is not a dream. This is all about me.

Its mouth was opening and closing like a goldfish without oxygen. Hahaha, I want to argue, but I can’t say anyth That I’m an incredible pervert, whether man or woman? I’ve never made a move on anyone on my own, and ne I don’t even intend to do it.

—… She’ll be angry if she finds out.

I managed to say that with difficulty.

—That’s the truth. He’s not here.

He is. He is listening.

As I stood up, I said:

—Then, I’ll bring the girl Natsuru.

And I ran out of the dining room. More and more, just running.

Back in the bathroom again, I transform and change my clothes. What’s going on? I’ve gotten pretty used to it.

This erotic maid outfit.

Back again. Running in these high heels is exhausting.

In the cafeteria, the class president and Higashida were still talking about something. I went over there. —Natsuru-chan, you’ve returned.

I’m back. But I ignored her. I approached the class president.

—Ehm… before, I… ran into Senou-san.

—Ara.

—Saying that… I’m sleeping with girls…

Kämpfer – Volume 6

The class president bowed her head slightly, —The newspaper club was reporting, but…

—That’s a lie…

It’s a counterfeit fabricated by Nishino Masumi, brimming with joy. One misunderstanding after another.

—But it’s popular, right? There are always girls waiting at the school entrance.

-From my point of view…

—We have this.

The class president suddenly lowered her voice and took a photo out of her maid’s apron pocket. I glanced over and was stunned. It was me being groped by the girls from class 2-4.

Hospitality training before the cultural festival. The vice president and treasurer were lifting me up

skirt, putting her hands on my chest. My distressed face was lascivious. Oh!

—There’s still more.

Another photo. This time it was my changing time. Taken just before I changed into my maid’s outfit.

I was in my underwear from head to toe. Ah, I clearly remember being the girls’ plaything, like…

It would have been yesterday.

—Th-… That…

—Personally, I don’t want to do something like hand this over to Nishino-san from the newspaper club.

-There’s no need…

—But if Senou denies the rumors, I could do it.

In short: “If you don’t want it to be made public, do as I say.” Simply put, it’s extortion.

In my mind, disappointment and despair hold hands and leap into a dance of desolation.

—The truth isn’t the problem. It’s important to keep the kids’ hopes alive.

—Is that so?

—Women are beings who continue to give illusions to men.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

More like delusions than illusions, aren’t they? Who benefits from this? Although the girls in class 2-4 don’t know I unilaterally lose out.

The president continued speaking as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

—I hope you can contribute to our conversation.

-Yeah…

I resign myself to it. I’m weak when it comes to tangible threats.

—Well, for now, let’s just say you’ve been with several girls.

-Yeah…

With a mysterious smile, the president addressed Higashida.

—It seems that Senou-san might not be a good partner for you.

-Because?

—It seems he prefers to take care of women rather than men.

—But wasn’t he also interested in men?

—It seems this week is the week for courting women.

Is there a week like this?

However, I wasn’t allowed to argue. Even though my cheek was twitching, I had no choice but to

hear.

—Natsuru-chan, for now she’s not interested in men.

I nodded in disgust.

—Wow, the guys in our group are quite interested in Natsuru-chan. They’ll all be disappointed.

That worries me a little too. Even though I’m a woman, it’s really unpleasant when boys…

Press on. I insist that, essentially, it should be the men.

—Anyway, you declared that your favorite food was girls during the presentation.

The president seriously lied. I didn’t say that!

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—That’s impressive.

—Everyone was convinced when they saw her face. This girl is capable of doing it.

—So that’s how it is…

—Most of the pretty second-year girls in the girls’ section have fallen. Sometimes even at a rate three per day. Due to the intensity with which it acts, it seems that a new insurance policy will soon be launched

Senou. I want to join in the fun too. Isn’t there insurance or an institution that helps with the

Defamation? There is no innocence in Higashida’s foolishness. You must question the information in the world.

In this era, literacy is an essential skill.

—Does it change according to mood?

—Yes, he does. If he gets tired of women, he goes back to men. Although he also said he was rarely bored. of the girls.

Higashida nodded, saying, “Well, there’s nothing to be done.” With a sigh, I walked away from

Him. Although I was glad not to have to deal with this guy, I actually lost a considerable amount of something. that he shouldn’t lose.

—Senou-san, come here.

They took me somewhere else. I don’t have the energy to resist. What will happen now? There’s nothing that sc It was the seat of the class president’s sister.

The sister sipped elegantly from a teacup. Very refined, it seemed that good sense walked hand in hand with he The clothes she was wearing. She didn’t seem at all like the kind of person who would want to experience a cof

maids. Furthermore, she didn’t appear to be related to the class president.

Akane bowed, nodding her head in thanks to me. It seems she’s moved from the table.

Hanzawa to ours.

I asked the sister:

—Would you like more tea?

—Thank you, I’ll take it.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

I’m pouring tea into a teapot. I don’t know if it’s Darjeeling or what, but the tea leaves look expensive. I was told

It was not obtained illegally by the treasurer, but rather purchased properly for today. Furthermore, as the

The scones for the tea seemed to be running low, so I put out a few more just in case.

“Senou-san seems to be used to customer service,” says the older sister.

“No…” I initially deny it. The previous cultural festival was my first time. I was trained to acquire I needed the necessary business skills, and without realizing it, I already had them.

—You’re used to it. If you’re that beautiful, the clients will surely be happy.

—Haa…

I don’t think it’s necessary for guys. Being pretty and all that, especially.

Since it was the right moment, I asked the question I had been thinking about the whole time.

—So… why a Beauty Research Club?

“That’s a prestigious clandestine activity at Seitetsu Academy,” he explains seriously. —Initially, it was created by the women’s section with leadership. During our generation. After Everyone liked pretty girls.

“I see,” it seems the girls’ love for the girls in the club was genuine.

—We handle communication with the men’s section and the budget. Everything was our idea.

At that time, the name was “Girls’ Club.” “Beauty Research Club” was a proposed change.

By Higashida-san. This name better represents reality, right?

—So… about the president…

—Although they call me honorary president, I don’t actually do anything special. It’s nice that they treat me that With all due respect, but…

Smiling. Or rather, I’d never heard of a title like honorary president. As far as I know, it must There will be external presidents, interim presidents, and honorary presidents for life, and so on.

—But why do you make us wear maid outfits?

—Didn’t you hear? I enjoyed the experience at the cultural festival.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—Haa…

—Also, as a businesswoman, it’s important that I know about these kinds of things…

—What is your… impression…?

I never imagined at that moment that I would come to regret those seemingly trivial words. My older sister told m I was staring.

—Senou-san, wouldn’t you work at our shop?

—…Huh?

—I’m thinking of opening a maid café. It’s not a costume café just for the sake of it, but something authentic and Long-term. Would you join the staff as a manager? With managerial status.

—Why…?

Why me? I’m just a high school student. And I’m not a maid.

—Don’t worry about age. We’ll put one of our own in charge at first. When you Once you graduate, we’ll promote you immediately.

-But…

—I received a recommendation from my sister. You’re lovely to deal with. No problem.

-Recommendation…?

—I’ll have to pay my sister a margin.

The president had an expression of ignorance. So that’s it. She’s selling me out for money. Against Human trafficking. I will take it to parliament.

—But… I-I…

“You don’t need to worry. Senou-san will adapt to the shop quickly. If I say so, then…” Our company is the right one.

—Eer…

—Could you come starting tomorrow? We also need you to confirm the interior decoration.

Kämpfer – Volume 6 53

She looked like a young woman, but she had impressive strength. You must need that kind of toughness to…

Running a business like that is a misfortune for me right now.

—About that… uh…

—So, we’ve confirmed that you agree, right?

I didn’t say anything like that! Since when has this attitude of not leaving options become so dominant?

I wanted to argue further, but I couldn’t speak properly. I had kept a low profile.

because I didn’t want to be discovered as a man, but now they were putting obstacles in my way.

I wanted to ask for help. But the president just smiled without doing anything, and the vice president and the tre They were mere spectators, offering no help. These men aren’t even good enough to be stones in a

garden.

To my surprise, it was Akane who spoke up.

—Hmm… I think it’s impossible.

The girl had an unexpected expression. Of course. She was a girl who had no idea about the matter she was st

—Natsuru-san isn’t good at talking… he’s not suitable for customer service.

—That’s true. She’ll have to attend a course on how to speak.

Do things like that exist in the world?

—Eer, regarding Natsuru-san as a housekeeper…

—She is not suitable.

—I also think she’s not suitable. But…

I don’t know if she’s trying to clear up a misunderstanding or reinforce it. She doesn’t seem used to speaking in I’ve been through similar situations. I was baffled.

-Because?

-Well…

-Yeah?

Akane seemed determined.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—Na-… Natsuru-san… Because Natsuru-san is here, the man!

We were all impressed, including me.

The older sister frowned.

—What has happened to the special advisor?

—Natsuru-san is… uh… consulting with the male Natsuru-san. Because their names are the same, and all that.

Natsuru-san is a man who is strict when it comes to underage girls doing strange jobs.

That statement was an impromptu lie from Akane, requiring no confirmation. She wanted to divert attention.

situation.

He seemed to be firing a verbal machine gun at me instead of helping me. There were other ways to

explain it.

Akane quickly realized the gravity of the situation as she spoke. Her face paled rapidly.

—So… Natsuru-san is with Natsuru-san…

The older sister frowned.

—You’re consulting with the male student, Senou-san?

-Yeah…

Akane looked at me with pleading eyes. I had no choice but to nod.

—It’s happening…

—Since when?

The president asked.

—This week he seems to have become someone who isn’t interested in boys.

That seems to be a custom you invented yourself.

—W-Well, it’s thanks to Senou-san, the boy…

Even recognizing yourself feels strangely uncomfortable.

“It’s not right for high school students to do such extreme things…”

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—That doesn’t sound like the opinion of a special advisor, does it?

The president turns to her older sister. Her older sister places the teacup on the saucer.

-It’s true.

—In fact, why don’t we ask the special advisor?

I was about to say “that’s fine” too. How silly of me. Are they saying here but not

here?

The class president looked around.

—And the special advisor…?

—I’m going to call him.

I ran out of the dining room. “Ah, me too,” said Akane and followed me.

Running down the hallway. Fortunately, the thick carpet almost completely muffles the sound of

our steps.

—Natsuru-san, wait… Kyaahh!

Akane was about to fall, so I instinctively reached out and caught her.

—I’m so sorry… Wait for me!

-Fast.

—I’m sorry. I went too far…

—It doesn’t matter. More importantly, I have to do something.

To the bathroom. I made the oath bracelet glow to cancel the transformation. I didn’t want him to see my

nudity, so I pushed Akane into a cubicle, changed my clothes, changed my clothes and turned around.

Panting, I entered the dining room.

—Where were you?

The class president asked . Carefully, so she wouldn’t notice my labored breathing,

—In-… In the bathroom.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

-Are you OK?

—No, I’m fine. I’m fine now.

I tried to sit down with a cheerful face.

—Special advisor. We could have a little chat.

I approached when the older sister called me. She asked directly, —Are you receiving inquiries from Senou-san?

—Huh…? Y-Yes.

—Perhaps also about today?

—Yes. It seems he didn’t really want to come, but I told him to come.

—In my case, I’d like Senou-san to be the manager of a maid café, but would I be against it as

special advisor?

—That doesn’t seem like a good idea, does it?

-Because?

I try to speak as calmly as possible.

“That’s just how she is; she’s not friendly and doesn’t talk much. I think she even has that reputation among the —Everyone says they like that cool side. Senou-san uses it too, devouring the girls.

The president says. Hey, stop exaggerating.

—But it is important to respect the wishes of the main person.

—Senou-san will be popular with the customers.

—I think it’s a problem to use high school students for advertising.

—The special advisor turns out to be quite conservative.

Because it’s about myself.

The older sister seems to be reflecting on something. Oh, maybe she’s reconsidering.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—But even so, like me, I need to talk to Senou-san…

—Sister, I…

—I’ll go look for her.

Before the president could say anything, I turned around and ran at full speed towards where Akane was waitin —Akane-chan, clothes!

—Y-Yes.

I’m transforming into a woman again to change. Ugh, this outfit is such a nuisance. Where on earth is the Closure? It’s sexy.

—Natsuru-san, tousle your hair…

-Alright.

I prioritize time. Just as I am.

I run back to the dining hall. Haah, I’m tired! This is the year I’ve run the most.

Keeping only a smile in mind, I head towards where my sister is.

—… Did you need me?

—Senou-san, aren’t you excited yet?

-Yeah…

—But you don’t seem to hate customer service. You seem made for it.

Doing customer-facing work in women’s clothing is not my preference. It’s not what I want.

Despite not being able to say that, I shake my head.

—Even the special advisor was enthusiastic.

I don’t think so, big sister. Haah, they’re two of a kind, even in their persuasive ways.

As the older sister sighs,

—We should talk to the special advisor again.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—If I call him…

I’ll run right away in silence. So Madam President, you’d better stay calm.

I’m tired of running aimlessly. As a Kämpfer, the physical fatigue isn’t so bad, but the mental fatigue is.

strong.

I collapse in the bathroom. Akane looks at me with pity.

—Natsuru-san, sweat…

—I’ll go back to normal, so close your eyes.

It doesn’t matter anymore if I’m in a private bathroom. I become a man again and change my clothes.

And then I run again. Damn, how many times has that been today?

I return to the dining room panting. I don’t even have a second to catch my breath.

Even the president and the older sister looked at me in disbelief.

—…Why are you tired?

—A little out of place…

—Ara, you have a disease similar to that of the girl Senou-san.

—Being friends, we have similar things in common.

It doesn’t matter anymore.

—So, about the conversation…

—Yes, it’s about the manager of the maids’ cafe.

—She must have said no… Senou-san, that’s what I think.

—I believe that by communicating, humans understand each other.

But in this matter, I think it’s worse than the Cold War between the US and the USSR.

—Could you try to persuade her as a special advisor as well?

—Although I don’t really like the idea…

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—I understand. Then it seems I’ll have to talk to Senou-san anyway.

-I…

—Leave it to me.

I ran to the bathroom and came back. It would be better if it was a sprinter’s uniform instead of a maid’s outfit.

Panting, I stood in front of the older sister.

—Wow, that was fast. Are you okay after the “anal prolapse”?

-Yeah…

It is not an anal prolapse at all.

The older sister remained unperturbed.

—Even the special advisor said you’re suitable to be the manager of the maids’ cafe.

I didn’t say that at all! I shook my head firmly.

—Your salary will increase. Please help us in the store.

I shook my head.

—You still won’t say it…?

My older sister’s gaze was fixed on my feet. What’s wrong?

—… The shoes.

I confirmed it and was surprised. Oh, these are for men! They’re not high heels to wear with a dress.

as a maid. I forgot to change them.

Both the older sister and the class president frowned.

—Why the shoes…?

—It is I who should call the special advisor.

I dove headfirst into the bathroom, rushing to undo the transformation. Then, I changed into men’s clothes and This time I put on my high heels. I went back to the dining room.

“I still have an anal prolapse,” I must say beforehand, showing my shoes.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—I swapped them with Senou-san.

—Do you like high heels?

To avoid giving the president time, I responded immediately.

—I’ve always been curious, what would happen if I wore shoes with such high heels? They’re more comfortable

that I imagined, they’ve turned out to be… fun!

—…Does Senou-san have those kinds of tastes?

—Yes, yes.

From behind her glasses, a somewhat disdainful look was directed at me. The older sister He muttered, “What a pervert…!” Can you really criticize another person like that?

“We can’t invite the special advisor to the store,” the older sister said. The president nodded. firmly.

—You shouldn’t start wearing a maid’s outfit on your own initiative.

I won’t do it!

—After all, without the person in question, the conversation is meaningless.

-I…

—I’ll call him!

Going and coming back isn’t a “no” answer. But these two aren’t giving up.

—The opinion of the special advisor.

-I…

Without finishing speaking, I run. I return. As special advisor, I declare that I cannot agree.

—With the person involved.

-I…

I’m running back to change. I’ll be back in just a few minutes.

By the time I stand in front of my older sister, I look like I’m about to deflate like a flat tire.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—…And, Senou-san, why aren’t you showing any interest in the manga café?

I can’t take it anymore, I nod without saying a word. Haah, resting my hands on my knees.

—That’s a shame, isn’t it?

—Haah… haah.

—It should be a renowned place in the industry.

—Haah… haah.

—If he says it so convincingly, perhaps I should give up too.

—Haah… haah.

I’m glad you understand. Now I can only inhale and exhale.

—Then let’s inform the special advisor about this.

The older sister addresses the class president.

—Please bring it.

-Yeah.

—Wait… I…!

With a barely audible voice, I try to stop her. But instead, the older sister stops me.

—No, I’ll be talking to you two.

What are you saying? Well, it’s clear we’re not going to do it by force.

—If you think about it, you two have been talking together. I felt alone.

There’s no need to feel that way. You never should! I don’t feel lonely at all.

The class president tries to leave the cafeteria. Not caring about appearances, I grab the edge of

her clothes.

—My role…

—Senou-san, stay here.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

With unexpected force, he pushes me away and tries to go to the bathroom. There’s no escape now.

No, I can still do something!

I push myself to the limit and run. The girl was saying something to me, but I can’t pay attention. I have to get th

to the bathroom before the president.

With my feet tangled, I collapse in the bathroom.

—Natsuru-san?

I tell Akane as if I were shouting.

—Change your clothes!

—W-Huh?

—Change into my maid’s outfit… we don’t have time, dress as a man.

—E-… Eehh!?

I wanted to turn Akane into my double. To dress her up as me and then go together with her older sister. If

We’ll sort this out there, everything will be fine. It’s not the time to worry about the height difference or shape of We must talk. We need to overcome this situation.

—Hurry up and get changed!

I push her clothes.

—Do I—Do I have to dress like Natsuru-san!?

—That’s right, take on my role!

—I can’t do it.

-Do it!

When I try to push my clothes away, I push them back really hard. How stubborn!

—If Akane-chan became like me, everything would be fine.

—I don’t understand what you’re talking about.

—Even if you change shape, that’s okay.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—I’ll shoot!

—Anything is fine!

If we don’t hurry, the president will come.

He pushed and pushed. As he thrashed around in a tight spot, my feet got tangled up.

—Whoa!

—Kyah…!

Thump. We fall to the ground together. I land on top of Akane.

—Aaaahhh, I’m beneath you, Natsuru…

—Change here!

—Eeh!

That disobedient woman doesn’t have time to waste. Quick, take off your clothes!

After deciding to use force, when I put my hand on her clothes…

Click!

The door opens. In the hallway are the president, the older sister, the vice president, and others.

—…Are we interrupting?

The president murmurs.

—Senou-san, Mishima-san… To start here like this, even as classmates, is

amazing.

-This…

Akane, lying on the ground, tries to explain in an almost shouted voice, but it seems that nobody wants to listen —He’s here already, huh?

The older sister shakes her head.

—This is the first time they’ve turned my house into an impromptu love hotel.

Kämpfer – Volume 6

—But… But it’s a misunderstanding…

—I won’t even talk about the manager’s role. It’s infuriating that they treat employees like food. If this continues,

that he would get involved while working.

-It just can’t be!

The older sister remains silent and walks away from the bathroom. The president looks over at us and says:

—Is Senou-san interested in Mishima-san now?

-Hey…?

—Please, don’t rush.

The door closes. The sound of footsteps receding. Only the vice president’s voice can be heard, admiring:

“Hyah, Natsuru-tan, it seems you like your classmates too!” I deeply feel that sensation of being left behind.

—Did I… save the situation?

It seems there’s been a misunderstanding, but I appear to have managed to avert an impending crisis. But why I feel like something irreparable is emerging?

—Thank you, Akane-chan

With the intention of being as kind as possible, I also thank her.

—Please, stay away from me…

With a broken voice, she answers me.

Subsequent history.

The rumor that “Senou Natsuru is messing with his classmates” has spread among the girls.

Like that reserved girl, Akane hasn’t escaped the rumors either. To make matters worse, now it’s being said tha

Kämpfer – Volume 6

“Natsuru prefers reserved girls,” which has led to a sudden increase in the proportion of

black-haired girls waiting at the school gate.

In the men’s section, for some reason, I became “the guy who got dumped by the girl” “Natsuru.”

“These types of people definitely have little interest in the opposite sex,” Higashida said admiringly.

—It’s understandable to want girls like that, isn’t it, Senou?

“Shut up,” was all I could manage to reply.
