With my mouth wide open, I probably look pretty stupid. But I can’t help it. When I’m not I transform; I’m weak for quick answers.
Meanwhile, Akane continued talking.
—I was always told that. Before getting into that kind of relationship, take him home. Well, currently we’re just…
We’ve hugged, although after this…
—Wait, wait. Why should it be like that?
—That’s the rule.
“Why? It’s not like Akane-chan and I…” Suddenly, tears welled up in her eyes.
—Natsuru-san, you hugged me, didn’t you?
—Ehm, that was because Akane-chan…
—We were both naked. So compared to the president… I’m your girlfriend. Please meet
my parents.
An absurd line of reasoning. There were quite a few logical leaps.
But she didn’t seem willing to listen to opposing arguments. Her determination was evident from my perspective
perspective.
—Natsuru-san… I want you to meet my parents… that’ll be okay, right?
—Uh… when?
—Soon… I’ll decide later.
I hope it’s not soon. Besides, I’m not very enthusiastic about it.
—You cannot object.
-Alright…
Was it a prohibition against opposing? I feel like my limbs have been torn off. Akane was relieved. I didn’t understand anything. Events are changing too fast and I It’s hard to keep up.

-Besides…
—There’s still more…
—You came to school with the president, right?
Wouldn’t that be enough already? Somehow, it feels like an incident from a long time ago.
Around the Edo period.
—Please stay with me on the way home from school today.
—Well… yes, that’s all it is.
She’s strangely determined. It feels like we’re about to go to the battlefield.
—Does that mean we’re going home together?
-Yeah.
—Are you going to come back as a girl?
A bit harsh. Because I want to appear, even if only briefly, in the men’s section, if I return to the section
female again, it would be annoying to have to go back and forth all over the grounds.
Then Akane said:
—It’s not like that… um, in the form of a man…
-Hey?
A man? That would be much more complicated.
—Today, right?
—And not just today. From now on, it will be like this every day.
Every day? Going home together all the time? Will every day be like a special day?
Seitetsu Academy is very observant of relationships between men and women. That’s why I was worried when I went to school with Shizuku, but Akane asked me to go back with her. If this gets out, there’s a huge problem.

It is so strict that even cell phone interference signals prevent communication.
In emergency cases, it has been emphasized that everything must go through the school. However, that does n

The students. Couples at school stand at attention and confirm their dating plans with signals of Secret communication and passwords. Therefore, activity in clandestine clubs becomes popular.
However, for me, doing something like that is a bit complicated.
—We need to practice before we meet my parents.
Practice what? Since there are two of us, are we going to do something together?
—Th-That, if we meet outside the school gate, it will be discovered.
—That’s not it. What I mean is… before we head home, if we pass by the student council room and We greeted the president politely together…
Does that make any sense?
—Yes! I want to make the president jealous. She’s always so serious…
What a clever strategist. I would never think of something like that. But will making her feel… have any meaning Jealousy? Is he trying to gain a mental advantage?
However, even if I say so, could Shizuku be bothered by something like that? She already has a face.

overhead crane.
—Don’t say you can’t. Oh, since we’re meeting up with my parents anyway, we need to discuss it in
the way back.
The conversation is getting important. Besides, she seems determined. It’s hard to refuse when she’s already to They ask like this.
—… If you put it that way.
Immediately, Akane’s face lit up.
—Okay, I heard you. Of course, it’s not like I want to stop!
—But why go to the student council room for no reason?
—Because, isn’t helping the student council? If so, it’s not unusual to show up there.
That’s true. I was supposed to be helping the student council.
Kampfer – Volume 9 72
Suddenly, I was forced to make a promise. It’s understandable that I distrust Shizuku to that extent…
And I do it myself too, but it’s terrifying to use my own being.
—Hey, are they competing for me?
-That’s how it is.
—Hee…
I don’t understand.
Despite Akane’s complaints, saying, “You’re so slow,” when you lead a life without dealing with women,
You start to think that all of this is part of some conspiracy. First of all, that I, talking so much with A woman is already strange. And besides, it’s really unusual that it’s a woman. Anyway, a promise is a promise. After class, I have to show up at student council. along with Akane.
—It’s a fact.
She insisted.
—Please come back with me, okay?
I responded with an understanding.
I heard the bell. It was the end of recess. The next class would start soon. I have to get back to the classroom.
I don’t leave an impression, my attendance record will look bad.
I decided to go to the men’s section. To be precise, heading towards the men’s section grounds… through the door in the library.
I glanced quickly at my watch. There’s no time left. I’d better run properly.
Suddenly, I almost collided with a person who went flying.
—Kyaah!
It was a girl. What’s she doing in the men’s section? I thought, but for now I can’t let her go. I extend the
hand. However, the girl got up on her own.
-Are you OK?
Kampfer – Volume 9
73
-Yeah…
Thinking about saying, “What a relief!”, I was speechless.
The person I met was Sakura-san.
Sakura-san is always beautiful, she gave me her usual smile. However, in that expression I could see
perceive a slight shadow.
She touched her chest with an exaggerated gesture.
—What a relief… I was looking for you.
-Me?
-Yeah.
—Were you late today?
—I just arrived.
—I’m glad… But this is the men’s section.
—I was looking for you in the women’s section. But since I couldn’t find you… I’m glad to see you.
She smiled at me with a calm smile. I wanted to know how she had managed to get past such strict surveillance Now, my heart was captivated by her smile and I couldn’t think of anything else.
As you all know, it’s Sakura-san. I’d forgotten about my conversation with Akane until just a moment ago, and I’ I was captivated by her beautiful expression.
Well, as I mentioned, the Sakura-san of recent times has added a fresh touch and has become very
Beautiful. Already beautiful, if she also exudes elegance, she becomes unbeatable. There are no rivals for her.
This woman, like a nuclear weapon, is smiling at me; she’s completely captivated me. I’m sorry, but I’ll seal this.
I’ll lock away my previous doubts in the safe of my heart and put a key in it.
—Um, what’s wrong with me?
—I just wanted to talk.
Kampfer – Volume 9 74
Just a chat, huh? But we’ll have class soon. I’m already making a name for myself in the boys’ section.
As “Senou Natsuru, the incorrigible latecomer”, I don’t want to take up too much time.
Sakura-san seems to have read my thoughts and says, “It will be quick.”
Understood. Screw the class. I think it would be good if the men’s section exploded.
I nodded. She said, “Thank you,” looking around nervously.
—If there’s somewhere we can talk…
—How was the library?
—No, there…
But was there another place to talk? I can’t think of a place where boys and girls could have a
meeting, except for the library which is a common area.
—Not in the library, let’s go upstairs.
—To the roof?
—Yes, there’s no problem there.
But to get there, we have to go inside and up the stairs. Also, the council area is right in the middle. student. What will happen if Shizuku finds us by chance?
-Don’t worry.
She smiled again.
—There’s nothing dangerous. Nothing at all.
Although I still had doubts, if Sakura-san said so, it would be so.
As a precaution, I carefully approached the library and looked inside. There was no one there.
I carefully climbed the stairs. I wasn’t sure if Shizuku was there, but I remained vigilant nonetheless.
—What are you doing? Let’s hurry.
Sakura-san walked casually up the stairs at a brisk pace. I hurried to follow her.
Kampfer – Volume 9
75
The roof door wasn’t locked. Shizuku had left it open as a resting place.
I probably wasn’t even considering that it would be used for a meeting between Sakura-san and me. —What great weather, right?
It was actually cloudy, but if Sakura-san said so, then it was a sunny day. Even if it was snowing.
Or, if it were raining industrial waste, it would be a clear day.
We sat on the edge of the railing, leaning against the concrete. Although it was wet, Sakura-san didn’t He seemed to care. Since my back was to the boys’ restroom, I felt a chill.
She and I were standing next to each other. It’s strange, when I do something like that with Shizuku I think I’ll be
devoured, but with Sakura-san there is a different tension.
We both remained silent for a moment. My nervousness was obvious, but I didn’t know how he felt.
Sakura-san. Well, more than her usual cheerful and friendly appearance, she radiated a familiar freshness.
—So… what did you want to talk about?
Sakura-san didn’t answer directly. She just smiled slightly.
—…Natsuru-san.
Yeah.
—Do you doubt me?
-Hey…
—Last time, during the summer, I fought with Natsuru-san and the others. I think they might have hated me sinc So, do you still doubt that I can do anything now?
—There’s nothing like that.
Although I did think he had become an enemy. But when I’m like this, I surrender to the beauty of Sakura-san and the little things don’t matter. Although both are beautiful, Shizuku and she have different Classes. Followers? Call them what you want. Where should I make a donation?
—So, you’re not doubting me?
-Of course.
Kampfer – Volume 9
76
She seemed relieved, but not completely.
—It doesn’t really matter. Even if you hate me. I don’t care.
—Huh? No, but…
—I don’t care. You can think whatever you want.
It’s a little scary. Or does she see me as an insect? I want to be raised in Sakura-san’s cage.
—So what’s really going on?
-Yeah?
—I am your enemy, aren’t I?
—Not in particular…
-Yeah.
—It’s just… I don’t feel it…
It’s a genuine feeling. Sakura-san’s now cold beauty affects me, and that has a lot to do with it.
—You can hate if you want. But if you start liking Shizuku-chan instead…
—No, that…
That’s unacceptable! That can’t be. She’s the only one. Today she came home this morning too and dragged m That’s kidnapping.
Whether Sakura-san knew it or not, she kept talking about my feelings.
—You ran into Shizuku-chan today, right?
How do you know?
—It looks like they walked to school together, didn’t it?
-Yeah…
—What do you think of Shizuku-chan? Did something happen with Natsuru-san?
—Nothing happened, but he grabbed my arm. It was unpleasant.
Kampfer – Volume 9
77
She puffed out her cheeks.
—How boring. It would be good if you were more proactive.
—But it’s a little…
If I were Sakura-san, I’d be welcome. I want nothing to do with that demon. He’s already taken my first one. kiss.
—Natsuru-san, don’t you like Shizuku-chan?
You’re saying the same thing as that demon.
—Not too much.
—Yes, that’s not right.
Sakura-san moved her body seductively. Wow, does she do such attractive things too?
—I think Natsuru-san will conquer Shizuku-chan.
—But women as strict as her are a bit…
—But she’s beautiful.
-I don’t feel it.
Yes, because it looks like a CGI character (“Computer-Generated Imagery” means “images generated by
computer.” It is used in movies, video games, and animations to create digital visual effects). The form Her face is so perfect that I doubt it’s plastic surgery. Maybe it’s virtual reality, so I’ve…
I tried several times thinking that if I turned around quickly, her figure would disappear, but every time I failed a few times. I don’t know who controls it, but it has admirable skills.
Is it that bad?
—Well, yes, it is.
—Hey, Natsuru-san.
Sakura-san spoke in her usual tone.
—During the fireworks festival, didn’t you tell Shizuku-chan that you liked her?
—Now that you mention it…
Kampfer – Volume 9
78
I don’t remember that part well. My mind is foggy. I can’t laugh about it like I would at Harakiritora.
—Why wouldn’t you?
—Even if you ask me…
Look into my eyes.
But this is inevitable. However, when I feel absorbed by Sakura-san’s deep eyes, I I feel confused.
I want to maintain my purity as a man. Here, that purity means loyalty to Sakura-san. I pledged to

So I’m not interested in other women. But when Sakura-san mentions that, I get confused. It would be easy to h
to Shizuku.
—Shizuku-chan is beautiful. Also, she’s a virgin.
Even though she had said it herself, hearing it from Sakura-san made me emotional. Could you repeat it so I ca —And I like you too, Natsuru-san.
—To Sakura-san?
—No, Shizuku-chan.
There’s no such thing… that’s what I think. That person enjoys making fun of me because they’re a sadist who..
He takes me out on dates and invites me to lunch. That must be how it is.
Furthermore, I was shocked to be rejected with a simple “no.” Could you at least show a little interest?
Sakura-san smiled subtly.
—Would it be better if I liked you instead, Natsuru-san?
-Of course.
—Ahaha, I’m glad.
Wow. This is a really good reaction. Nothing like this has ever happened before. Although Sakura-san treats ev
Similarly, it is said that there is a line that is never crossed. That’s why.

They say that: “if you manage to win over Kaede Sakura, you might even get into the University of Tokyo,” but Somehow it seems I’m getting over that.
I fought with all my might to hide my inner emotion. I must act like a calm man and
safe, without jumping in headfirst.
—Everyone seems to idolize you, Sakura-san.
Why is my voice getting high-pitched? This is a clear sign of someone clumsy in matters of love.
—Does everyone idolize me? Including Natsuru-san?
-Of course.
—Ara.
With a mischievous side, she smiles. She is voluptuous and truly attractive.
—If it’s with you, Natsuru-san, I’d be willing to fall in love…
Please feel free to fall in love. I’ll now be at the top of Sakura-san’s fan club. The boys
Those who are in love with Sakura-san in the club are all innocent, incapable of holding a conversation.
Unlike Shizuku’s lovers, who hide their masochistic tendencies, these are pure. Without However, they are problematic because they try to bring others down. Like me right now.
—But it’s not possible yet, is it?
With a friendly smile, I received a negative response. Can I get depressed?
—I think I’d be delighted if Natsuru-san came this way. Then I’d be willing to go out with you.
This side? If it’s Sakura-san’s side, then it’s always like this for me.
—But for that, we need to involve Shizuku-chan. It would be problematic if we didn’t.
—Involve her…?
-Yeah.
Sakura-san came very close to me.
—Because Shizuku-chan is very talented. She’ll spot us immediately. She’s very dangerous. So, do
let Shizuku-chan be Natsuru-san’s and deal with it.
Kampfer – Volume 9
80
—Uh, but…
—I already asked you before, didn’t I? During the fireworks.
In fact, that’s what I remembered.
—Now is the best time. Shizuku-chan likes Natsuru-san even more than before. She’ll do anything he wants. ask.
—But I…
—It’s better if it’s me, right?
That’s true.
I’ve said it many times, I prefer Sakura-san to Shizuku. Without Sakura-san, I’d be with Akane, and
Mikoto would probably be at the same level. Shizuku is far below.
—Well, do you want the reward?
-Hey?
I let out a strange voice. A reward?
Sakura-san laughed softly.
—We had already agreed on this, hadn’t we? I was planning to reward you when you managed to win over Shizuku-chan… Should we do a preview?
A sneak peek…
Question marks danced in my head. He slipped his finger into the chest of his uniform. Huh?
Then he created some space and leaned forward toward me. Huh!?
—Can you see it?
She flashed a charming smile. Her cleavage, her cleavage. And a hint of underwear was visible.
I saw Sakura-san naked. I entered the hot spring bath disguised as a woman and was seen, and I saw her. Alth
Sure. Anyway, it’s modest in comparison.
Kampfer – Volume 9
81
But at that time, I was strictly a woman. When I become a woman, my sexual desire
It diminishes drastically. I was also ashamed and avoided looking. But now I’m a man. My heart My heart was beating strongly and blood was flowing through my veins.
—It seems you saw it, didn’t you?
Oh, of course! It’s firmly etched into my brain’s hard drive. Unless it gets hit with a
hammer, it will not be damaged.
—So, that’s it.
She returned to her original position.
—Do you want to see more?
He said with a smile. I nodded like a bird drinking water. From the outside, it must certainly look very shameful.
—Your reward will be if you make Shizuku-chan fall.
-Hey…
Oh no, disappointment escaped my lips.
-Can’t.
I clearly refused.
However, reflecting on it later, at that moment I couldn’t resist Sakura-san at all. Although
I had been attacked before and should have been on my guard or left; I didn’t think twice. Since the Initially, he was blinded by Sakura-san and had been absorbed by her atmosphere.
—Natsuru-san, please make Shizuku-chan your priority. You can’t choose another girl. It doesn’t make sense.
—…
-You understand?
I nodded again. No, I can’t resist in any way.
—So, that’s it.
He stood up. The feverish feeling that had gripped me vanished suddenly.
Kampfer – Volume 9
82
I also stood up in the same way.
—Natsuru-san, we must return to the classroom. Class has already started.
—Ah… yes.
—And also…
Sakura-san’s eyes pierced me.
—After school today, please walk me home.
-Hey…
The thing is, I already have a prior commitment. With Akane.
-Because…?
—It’s obvious, isn’t it? I’ll teach you how to win over Shizuku-chan.
Seduction techniques?! I don’t understand. I’ve never tried to seduce a woman and I have no intention of doing
do it.
-By no means…
—It will be useful to you.
Even though I wanted to say, “I don’t need it,” my mind isn’t working properly. It’s like it’s frozen or
receiving electromagnetic interference.
—It’s a fact.
She didn’t consider my feelings at all.
-Understood?
-Yeah…
There was no other option but to accept. Although I tried to make an excuse, I think anyone else in the same sit
She would have agreed without hesitation. His tone was so convincing that it left no room for objection.
—Then, see you.
Sakura-san spoke with her characteristic nonchalance. Then, turning her back on me, she quickly left the roof.
Kampfer – Volume 9 83
I watched silently as she went downstairs. It wasn’t until a few minutes later that it dawned on me.
she realized she also had to go to the men’s section.
■
The class had started a while ago. Well, actually, it was about to end. I decided to resign myself to it and
leave in the next time slot.
I spent my time in a corner of the roof waiting for recess. Then, before class started, I went to the
men’s section.
I ran to the school building. I ran up the stairs and arrived at my class.
Then I caught my breath and opened the door with the brightest expression possible, saying, “Good morning!” My classmates all looked at me. There was an awkward atmosphere. Oops, did I mess up?
And everyone, with faces that said, “Are you late again?”, looked at me.
—As usual, you’re late?
Higashida, the idiot representative of our class, said on behalf of everyone.
Higashida is a first-class idiot in class 2-4, or rather, in the boys’ section. It’s not that he can’t He studies, but his actions and words are simply ridiculous. He takes experiments like guessing the
color of girls’ underwear from a distance or develop glasses that can know the measurements of
He immediately sees a girl. And he fails at everything. Plus, he’s the president of an underground sex club. called the “Beauty Research Club” and seriously studying the girls in the female section is a A trick only a madman could pull off. Don’t give power to perverts.
Supporting himself on his arms, the idiot said solemnly.
—It’s too bold to arrive late on the first day of the second term.
Actually, I’m getting to school on time. Couldn’t you call me “acting chief executive” or something?
—There were circumstances.
Kampfer – Volume 9
84
—The professor was angry. He said that Senou is never around.
—But here I am now, right?
—We’re in trouble too. Senou was the special advisor to the “Research Club of “Beauties.”
Was it? In the past tense? It doesn’t really matter.
—That’s the best thing that could happen.
Pretending not to notice, I left my bag on the desk. The schedules between the section
The women’s and men’s sections sometimes didn’t overlap, so she carried twice as many books as the others. so heavy that I could barely carry them.
I sat down in the chair. But something felt strange.
My classmates were staring at me. Well, maybe “staring” is an exaggeration. It was like They were stalking me from the shadows. It wasn’t like watching wild animals, it was more like…
detectives were conducting surveillance.
It seems they’re paying attention to me. But why?
Higashida put his hand on my shoulder.
—I’ve heard unpleasant rumors.
-That?
—They say you’re dating a girl from the women’s section.
—Sakura-san?
—Idiot. Do you want to cause a disturbance in the men’s section? No, it’s probably a girl who
could cause an even bigger uproar.
I had a horrible feeling.
-Maybe…
—It seems you have an idea. She’s the student council president.
-That-…
Kampfer – Volume 9
85
I was about to ask why, but I hurried away and swallowed the words.
—There were emails circulating during the summer holidays. They said the president had found a
boyfriend. And it turns out that boyfriend is you…
Oh no! I can’t say anything about this.
At Seitetsu Academy, of course, being an all-boys school, it’s natural for boys to feel desire for the
girls. Since it’s not an exclusively male school and the girls’ section is a short distance away
If the sharks are able to reach them, the situation is even worse. If there is wounded prey in front of them, the s That’s why she’s so sensitive about “Who’s dating whom and who’s broken up with whom?” Although
Actually, women are more intense about it, but men feel it too. If you’re dating
If it were a girl outside of school, there wouldn’t be a jealousy storm, but it turns out to be Shizuku. That girl is
popular with boys and girls alike.
The problem is that Sakura-san is the one leaking the information. Since she’s Shizuku’s best friend, her The word has more credibility.
—H-H-How much do people know?
To my shame, I couldn’t hide my nervousness.
“I didn’t expect you and the president to be involved.” Everyone was surprised.
Higashida said.
—There were rumors about a date before, but since it didn’t match up, everyone denied it. But this time it was
strangely specific.
—R-Really?
“It was said that they had gone to an amusement park together and decided to leave. That’s what was written.”
Did Sakura-san do all that? Oh, by the way, Higashida was there too. Even the members of the “Club of “Beauty Research.” Ah, now that I think about it, they were really preparing the worst ingredients.
Higashida’s eyes slowly narrowed.
Kampfer – Volume 9

—After hearing the rumors, the “Beauty Research Club” and the “Being Scolded Club”
Sangou Shizuku” held a joint board meeting. You are the special advisor to the “Club of

—Permanent expulsion would be an appropriate decision. The board was close to reaching that decision. conclusion…
The idiot exhaled briefly.
—The situation changed this morning.
—Huh?
—The student council president and Senou Natsuru were seen walking to school together. Apparently, those tw

I didn’t even need to ask who revealed that information. It was probably Masumi. She’s from the club of

—No, it’s not that he was dumped…
—The important thing is how the situation is now. Whether they started dating from the beginning or not, they n It matters. What a poor guy.
Then, the classmates who had been silently observing began to speak.
—Natsuru, you look pathetic.
—They’ve probably only been dating for about three days.
—Was that all that happened when you went to drop off the president?
—They should even blacklist him on the student council.
Kampfer – Volume 9
87
Why do they have to say things like that? Now I understand why I was getting those uncomfortable looks from t Nobody knew how to treat me. If it got out that I was dating Shizuku, they’d definitely come after me.
But since I’ve already been abandoned, they don’t need to bother with me.
—We will take action by removing you from your position as special advisor.
Higashida said, “I don’t care. It’s not like I’ve gained anything from being an advisor. I don’t have an office.”
nor a secretary like a bank consultant.
From the beginning, I wanted to deny the rumor that “I’m dating Shizuku,” but it doesn’t matter anymore. I don’t Time to talk this over with the kids. It would be best if it died out naturally.
But it didn’t end that simply.
Higashida approaches me.
—That’s what I wanted to ask you, Senou. What were you doing when you were with the president?
-Hey?
—This is an opportunity to enrich the information about the enigmatic President Sangou. Tell me everything you You know. Depending on the information, you could return to being the special advisor.
I’m fine without going back.
But there was no way Higashida would accept it. No, it seemed the whole classroom felt the same way, everyon They all started pressuring me in unison.
—Speak, Senou!
—What did you do to the president?!
—Is that person erotic? Is that person erotic?!
So that’s the point. In a way, they’re very healthy high school students.
Aren’t there any men who say, “The president is supposed to be like a saint, I don’t want to hear stories”?
“Indecent”? I’d be surprised if there are any. It’s taken for granted that the president is indecent.
The boys are coming over. Ugh, they smell like sweat and stink. If they were girls, they’d smell like makeup.
—Hey, calm down!
Kampfer – Volume 9
88
I couldn’t help it and I screamed.
—Why has the conversation become so rude!?
—Because you’re the only source of information, that’s obvious.
Higashida is strangely calm. This guy really gets brave when it comes to girls.
—That’s why I’m telling you I’m not dating the president!
—Don’t lie.
—That’s the truth. There’s no way I would betray Sakura-san!
Actually, Sakura-san is changing rapidly, but oh well, I’ll skip that part. It doesn’t make sense.
Explain it to these idiots.
—Leave that aside, talk about the president.
—Take it out.
Zombies or something?
—That… I don’t really like the president.
—So why were you dating her?
—That rumor is a lie. Both now and before, I’m still single. Think about it, if I had a girlfriend, I’d be very…
Happier. Haven’t I looked washed out every time I’ve been to the men’s section lately?
That’s quite true. Due to a series of events that broke my spirit, every time I came to school,
My stomach was churning. By the way, the women’s section was also showing similar symptoms. I don’t know i The desperate explanation had an effect, but the pressure decreased.
—… It looks real.
Higashida responded with an air of superiority. Normally, he would be refuting, but that’s enough.

research beyond that.
Wow, how arrogant. Why am I still friends with this guy?
—But we can’t just say we don’t have any data. Senou.

-That?
—I’m giving you an important mission. Investigate the relationship between the president and Natsuru.
-Hey!?
What’s wrong with this guy? In many ways, he’s strange.
—That there is an ambiguous relationship between the president and Natsuru is a well-known fact…
That is strange indeed.
—Thanks to that, the two beauties from Seitetsu are already booked in advance. It’s a great loss. But Complaining about it won’t solve anything. The “Beauty Research Club” must continue. looking towards tomorrow.
Are you being positive?

-You.
—Whose points are these?
About me, isn’t that right? Where did I make those mistakes? As far as women are concerned, my defense is on Japan World Cup.
Upon reflection, my recent relationships with women haven’t really been good. My proud

—If you’re a former special advisor, you should be able to investigate it.
So I’m an ex. At least in this respect, you’re still meticulous.
—The president and the girl Natsuru. Two beauties. How do they get along? This is going to be popular.
—Is it that interesting?
Kampfer – Volume 9 90
I don’t understand why I don’t have that interest. If it were a true same-sex love, it would be understandable.
But Shizuku, who is crucial in this, said that there is a lot of fun at the high school level.
However, Higashida and his companions nodded vigorously.
-Of course.
—It’s the best fun.
—If two men get together, it would bother me, but like this, I can resign myself to it somehow.
—As long as it’s not Senou, anything is fine.
That’s their true opinion. These guys are truly beyond help.
—How do you plan for me to investigate that?
I asked. In theory, Natsuru and I are different people. Higashida also seemed to be considering it.
He said this and responded immediately.
—Yes, it’s difficult, but it’s not impossible to find a solution.
—Are you going to kidnap her or what?
—Let’s avoid committing senseless, serious crimes. I’ll ask a contributor from the women’s section to… help. And that will benefit you too.
Contributor, huh? This guy has so many strange connections he’s probably involved. But still So, that’s the problem. You can predict that bad things will happen if it’s a girl like Masumi, who…
I could describe it as a loudspeaker with limbs.
-Who is it?
The classroom door suddenly opened.
—Tadaa, here I am!
My childhood friend, Mikoto Kondou, came in.
There are several questions. How did she manage to cross the strict boundary between men and women that e I usually transfer? And how did you find out about the current situation?
Kampfer – Volume 9 91
But she probably doesn’t care about that kind of thing. And Mikoto showed no signs of stopping.
-High!
I shouted to interrupt her.
—Hey, Mikoto! Who do you think you are, barging into the sacred men’s hall without permission?
-Hey?
Mikoto was about to protest. And the idiots behind her were egging her on.
-No problem.
—If she’s a pretty girl, she’s welcome.
—It’s just Senou talking.
Damn it. They always say things like, “We can live without girls because there’s so much fun to be had now,” bu The moment an opportunity arises, they’re all over it! Those guys, as soon as even one girl joins a club, they sta
to fight for it. I know this well because I’ve been close to doing it myself.
—Come on, Natsuru. Everyone says so.
Mikoto placed her hands on her hips. Who was she showing respect to by stopping?
—There’s no problem if he goes into the men’s classroom.
“That’s it, that’s it,” came the comments from the back. I’d never been so sorry to be in this class.
-… What do you need?
—I was contacted by Higashida-kun through Masumi-chan. He told me to help Natsuru.
Perhaps Higashida is the worst person in the world. He might be almost as vile as Shizuku. These evildoers Are they trying to obtain our personal information through me and Mikoto?
For now, I told Mikoto to “come in.”
She inexplicably stretched out her legs in fear and screamed: “Kyaahh!”
—Oh, have I entered the men’s classroom? It’s like walking into the headquarters of the natives in Africa from lo I don’t understand. Until recently, he seemed confident.

But it seems that his classmates reacted to his attitude and suddenly became friendly.
—Hey, get a chair.
—Open the window to ventilate, but close the curtains! We don’t know where they might be watching us from. Right now, they’re quite enthusiastic. In the blink of an eye, everything was ready. A
circle around Mikoto and me.
And Higashida repeated the explanation from before.
—Therefore, I want you to find out about the relationship between the president and the girl Natsuru.
It seemed stupid to me, but Mikoto was serious. What’s the point of putting so much effort into this? Her criteria
behaviors are completely unknown.
Mikoto raised her hand.
—Can I investigate anything?
-Of course.
—If I do it, I’ll do it thoroughly. Perverted stuff and all that.
There were shouts of excitement. Truly, men are weak in the face of the word “pervert.”
Higashida was also happy.
—Welcome! I’ll pay well for the information. Senou, you’ll work for free.
Why are you saying something unnecessary? Until recently, didn’t you want Mikoto’s picture? Is that already for By suppressing your immediate desires for long-term goals, you’re really doing well.
—Leave it to me.
Mikoto tapped her chest. This gesture made her seem quite trustworthy. It must be because she’s been through Difficult situations in South America and Africa. He said he fought for three days and three nights for the proper
from the nickel mine.
—By the way, regarding research methods…
Mikoto said.
—Leave it to me.

—Okay. But I’d like you to attach photos to the research results.
—Good. And one more thing.
Mikoto raised a finger.
—Don’t tell anyone that Natsuru and I are investigating. We don’t need help.
-…? Alright.
Higashida seemed to have doubts, but he accepted.
I was just stunned. What’s this girl thinking? I know she likes the excitement of festivals, but,
Does he really have to show so much determination here? Well, I guess so. Although I don’t think so either.
I had a favorable opinion of Shizuku.
Mikoto stood up and said, “Well, I’m leaving,” before leaving the classroom. I hurriedly followed her.
—Hey, wait, Mikoto.
-What’s happening?
I caught her at the end of the corridor. Outside, someone could hear us.
—Why did you make such a strange promise?
—It wasn’t a big deal.
—It wasn’t good.
Although my tone sounded like I was questioning her, Mikoto had a serious expression.
—…Are you dating the president?
—There’s no way of that.
—So why did you come to school together this morning?
How come she knows it too…? It’s pointless to question it. She knows because she knows.
—… It’s a coincidence.
“It can’t be a coincidence. The president came looking for you, didn’t she? You probably tried.”
You tried to escape by transforming into a woman, but you couldn’t escape.

From Mikoto, I suppose living in the jungle strengthened her sixth sense. Because she said she could sense wh The snake was approaching.
—So now it’s my turn.
—I don’t understand what that means.
—The fact that you have to investigate with me means that Natsuru always has to be with me.
So what’s the problem? When I’m with you, you only make me eat curry. Why aren’t there any other options?
Do you have katsudon or ramen in your repertoire?
—But isn’t it a little late to investigate the president or me?
—What an idiot you are. It’s obvious.
Why do I have to be called an idiot?
—It’s to introduce ourselves to the president and tell her that we are investigating together.
—What’s the point?
—Obviously, it’s to make the president jealous.
I feel like I’ve heard that before. Ah, those are the same words Akane used.
What benefit could that action bring? For example, I could become friends with Sakura-san and brag to her.
Shizuku. Yes, I understand that. I could also brag in front of the boys in the male section and make them Feeling frustrated. Even better. There might be someone who drops out of school due to the shock, but it’s a
necessary sacrifice.
But what about Mikoto? Will Shizuku really be frustrated? Or will she just laugh at us?
She didn’t seem disappointed.
—Are you unhappy with me?
-Because?

—Who decided that!?
What’s going on in this girl’s head? Have women these days already decided their future in advance?
First of all, if I worked with you, I’d be running around from the equator to Antarctica.
It might be fun, but I’d be selling my life to the extreme. In the future, being a civil servant will be enough. public.
—Don’t talk nonsense like that, let’s take on the world together.
—What kind of boxer are you?
Are there only crazy people around me? Both men and women.
-Alright!
Mikoto abruptly ended the conversation. She’s the type who tries to impose her will through force.
—Okay, then I’ll see you after class for a meeting.
—A meeting, what?
—Isn’t it obvious that it’s to discuss the investigation?
“Is that necessary? I don’t want to investigate myself, you know?” -Idiot!
Mikoto suddenly became angry and muttered under her breath, “I just want to be with you.”
What does she intend to do if we’re together? The teenage girls’ motivations are a complete mystery.
—Anyway, we’re going home together after class, don’t go ahead, understand?
-Hang on a minute.
I’ve already promised to two other people. And I said “yes” to both of them. She would be the third. But it’s not li I would like more situations like this.
—What’s going on? Suddenly, is this another date?

—…
Hmm, should I answer honestly or not? In that case, I think Mikoto might get very angry and say:
“Reject his offer!” I wouldn’t like that. Above all, it would cancel my engagement to Sakura-san.
—No… it isn’t… but…
In the end, I ended up answering like this.
Mikoto’s animosity was instantly resolved. It’s simple and enviable.
—Okay, wait at the school gate. I’ll come get you.
Therefore, the argument that “it will be a big problem if it is discovered that there is something between boys an

Mikoto seemed satisfied and, with a “don’t forget” reminder, returned to the women’s section. I thought that Perhaps if a teacher found us on the way back, the commitment would fade, but I quickly pushed that thought away.
She wouldn’t make a mistake like that. My childhood friend is that kind of girl.
