Chapter 2

Kampfer – Volume 10

The next day.

The weather is nice. Despite the lingering heat, this is good. It’s much better than the cold. If the wind blows, It feels good too.

I woke up properly this morning. Thanks to the alarm function on my mobile phone. Thanks to the

The battery was dead; it had almost been useless, but it was unexpectedly useful. But it’s worth emphasizing. It Thanks to Shizuku’s insistence, but I’m not going to think about that.

First, breakfast. Since there was a lot of curry that Mikoto made, I decided to defrost it and eat it. Yesterday she I said that to Harakiritora, but oh well, what else is there?

However, even though it’s been a long time, when I see the curry, I feel like I’ve been eating it every single day. days. I really feel like I’m getting tired, like I’m in training.

I can’t stand the taste of curry roux, so I thought about eating it with bread, but I’m not up for it. What a dilemma Since my parents sent me hiyamugi (cold buckwheat noodles) in the summer, I decided to boil them. What shou I’m going to serve this with curry!

It was a somewhat spontaneous act, but it turned out quite well. Do I have the potential to become a genius? Culinary? Perhaps I could go far with something like a curry-based fight. There’s also a theory that

that curry goes well with anything.

Oh no, I’ve run out of time boiling the hiyamugi! I grabbed my backpack and ran out. Of course, I locked the front door. I have to be thorough around here.

Running while checking the clock. Wow, I might arrive right on time, or maybe late!

When I got to the station, I wasn’t exactly on time; I was late. Damn it!

—Eeer…

Ah, I don’t see Akane around here. That girl is never late. She’s the type who respects time, especially. When she’s a librarian, she says she’s never late. She talked about “disrespecting a book,” but I feel that It doesn’t make much sense.

-Where are you…?

-I’m here.

Kampfer – Volume 10

Right behind me, a deep and powerful voice resonated, undoubtedly Akane’s voice.

I turned around slowly.

There stood Akane. Not with her usual shy glasses, but like a likely yakuza, a woman

ferocious, ready to kill.

I swallowed hard. Why have you changed?

—Why are you making that face like you’ve eaten a 9mm bullet?

-The thing is…

—Don’t be late. I was about to fill your house with holes.

It didn’t sound like a woman’s speech. It was terrifying because it seemed like she really would. Ah, maybe ther

expected due to sweating in the sun.

-Be quiet.

At least I had to complain. I can’t show weakness with the fierce Akane version.

—I woke up early for you. I really wanted to sleep a little longer.

—Me too. I woke up today, but I usually sleep in quite a bit on my days off. I accumulate sleep to Watching anime late into the night.

What a terrible reason. At least be a little ashamed.

—Well, what now?

I asked. Since I wasn’t the one who invited them, I wasn’t in control of the situation.

-Talk.

—You said it.

—I want to do it somewhere. There’s a store, right?

—Well, since we’re close to the station, there’s bound to be some.

—It doesn’t matter where. I’ll drink tea. I have plenty of time.

Although I only have one hour.

Kampfer – Volume 10

This station isn’t very big, but it does have a station building. Since it’s close to the area

Commercially, people who want to have fun tend to go there, but people who want to shop find it difficult. convenient.

I tell Akane:

—On the first floor, there is a place where you can have tea.

—Ah, there, right? I’ve been there before.

—The waitresses would have been surprised, wouldn’t they? Since someone as rude as you arrived.

—It was before the transformation, you idiot.

—You should have said it that way.

They didn’t back me down either. When I have to deal with an aggressive woman, I become stubborn.

I think that place is a self-service café. I don’t know if they allow dogs inside. I told Akane:

—I don’t have any money this month, so I’m going to economize. Let’s go there.

At times like this, I envy Higashida, who has a unique system for making money.

Inside the station building, there was a café corner. During the week, it’s usually full of office workers.

They’re coming home from work or girls from the gal. Since it closes relatively late, people who miss the last tra

until the very last moment.

I placed my belongings on the seat and sat down. Akane didn’t sit down.

—What are you going to drink?

—Decide for yourself.

—Then say it.

—How annoying, always…

After cursing, I was stunned.

—… Are you going to buy me something?

Akane nodded listlessly. Seriously, the fierce Akane will do something for me? What kind of punishment is this?

Kampfer – Volume 10

—Hey, you’re crazy!

—Do you want me to drill holes here? Perfect.

—If you’re going to do something for me…

—Decide before I change my mind!

After screaming, Akane conjured a gun in her hand. “Hey, there are people watching.” —Stop, stop.

I raised my hand and signaled for him to put the gun away. If I leave it unattended, he won’t hesitate to shoot m —I’m asking you what I’m supposed to do.

Why are you blushing so much? I ordered an iced coffee for now.

-Understood.

Akane took only her wallet and hurried to the counter. Sitting down, I feel uncomfortable. The only person…

A man who is allowed to buy something for a woman is an older husband or a writer with a female editor. assigned. In my case, I have a woman to fear. Normally, she should have kicked me and forced me to

She usually buys something, but this time she didn’t. By the way, customers go shopping because it’s a store… self-service.

After a while, Akane returned with a tray. She brought grapefruit juice.

-How much is it?

—200 yen.

That’s how things are at a drive-thru. Actually, I’d never been in one before.

Akane and I sat facing each other while we drank our beverages. Akane put the ice cubes in.

into their mouth without needing a straw.

Now that I think about it, I was thirsty after drinking curry water. It feels strangely pleasant.

However, the woman opposite, being a woman, was constantly nervous.

—So, er, do you have something to say?

-Yeah.

Kampfer – Volume 10 42

Akane’s voice was clear. It was bolder than before her transformation. There were only two types of tones: annoyed or furious.

—Is that your idea?

—Of course, are you an idiot? There’s no one else but me.

—No, I don’t mean that… The usual Akane called me on the phone.

“Even if I called you, I wanted to see you like this,” Akane said.

Why is that? Did he suddenly call me to shoot me? For now, it seems he hasn’t shot me yet.

—I can only say it now, you know?

-Really?

It’s a bit confusing, so I can only make occasional comments.

—Natsuru, did you meet the president after that?

—After that… the anime store?

-Yeah.

Yes, of course we met. And I should say that we’ll see each other again after this.

I told her, “We’ll meet at school at midnight.” Akane’s expression turned stern.

—Why at midnight?

—Well, he asked me to help him with the security patrol.

-That’s all?

Even though it’s different, should I tell her? It’s about the wild dog woman. Won’t she suddenly turn on me?

Even though he doesn’t speak, his presence is quite intense, so it’s more depressing than worrying. Which Would you choose between the gallows and the electric chair?

His gaze grew increasingly hostile.

—Listen carefully.

His tone was worthy of a gangster and cutting.

Kampfer – Volume 10

—I can’t stand being underestimated, not even by you. It bothers me more than RMT salespeople in

Online games. Answer honestly. What did you do with Shizuku?

—… Several things.

—Ha!?

—Several things happened. Many things.

At the last minute, I stopped talking. If I were wearing my glasses, talking wouldn’t be a problem, but if I do Now, this place will become a battlefield. This girl will shoot without mercy.

-You…

The sound of teeth grinding, “girri,” echoed to me. I was sweating.

Just when I thought I might shoot, Akane held back.

—… Well, I understand in a way.

—Then don’t ask.

—Shut up! I want to hear it from you. Do you understand?

I’m not sure. If you can predict it, that would be best.

—This idiot. How far do you plan to push me?

—How am I supposed to know? Did you call me two hours earlier just to annoy me?

—Would anyone be that masochistic?

Is it different from the person in front of me?

Akane took a Pocky stick out of her bag. Does she always carry it with her? She put it in her mouth, but quickly It doesn’t make sense.

Then he turned to stare at me.

—… I didn’t call you on a whim or out of madness.

—It doesn’t seem like something capricious or crazy.

—Shut your mouth! Do you really understand the meaning of our journey today?

Kampfer – Volume 10 44

I didn’t nod, nor did I shake my head. Of course, I didn’t speak. After all, I was told to keep my mouth shut.

Akane took out her second Pocky and immediately bit into it.

“I have no idea what’s going on. Shizuku is probably thinking at top speed with her…” Spinning brain. But I know the end is near.

-Oh really?

—Yes. I was chosen to be Kämpfer before you. So I have a feeling. Something tough is coming. They were words full of conviction. I really don’t understand it. In fact, I’m quite excited to be able to Visiting Sakura-san’s family home. Well, I’m a little nervous too.

So, is this a battle? Hmm, saving ordinary Sakura-san from the evil clutches of that cruel Sakura-san won’t be e

a fireworks festival instead of a fight?

Incidentally, Shizuku also mentioned “carrying the animal within.” Perhaps the people who have experienced m Do men like Kämpfer have any special premonitions?

—Anyway, I don’t care what happens. We’d just have to kill them all.

—Isn’t there a less extreme solution to that argument?

—The problem is you.

Ignoring my words, Akane said:

—What’s wrong?

—Haven’t you noticed my feelings?

Suddenly, what are you saying? Do your feelings make you want to shoot when you see someone? walking?

—My self before I transformed. Although, the way I am now is fine too.

—…That has nothing to do with the anime shop, right?

—You’re a hopeless idiot. I’ve been telling you things for a while now, haven’t I?

Kampfer – Volume 10

Akane slammed her fist on the table. Somehow, it felt like she was being interrogated by a detective.

The employee who heard the noise looked at us, but Akane glared at him, silencing him.

—Listen, Natsuru. You may think I’m just a bully, but believe it or not, I’m a woman.

I have feelings too.

—I can’t believe it.

—You’re a rude guy. My feelings are definitely directed towards you.

—You’re always saying you’re going to kill me or something like that.

—That’s not it! Are you planning to make me talk more?!

Suddenly, I was scolded. While it’s okay to be angry, the situation isn’t appropriate.

Akane has a look similar to that of a hungry stray dog.

—Well, I wouldn’t say so either, so in terms of courage, maybe we’re very similar. But, you know, this This moment is quite important right now. That’s why I told you we should meet before… turn.

Did you tell me? What does that mean? They must be the same person.

—In my life, you hold a fairly important position. You did before the transformation as well. But for For me now, time is what matters.

—Akane is sixteen… seventeen years old, right?

—In body, yes. I just told you that the end is near.

-Yeah.

“I don’t know how it will turn out. That’s Shizuku’s job—to worry about that. But when that happens… perhaps.” I am no longer me.

I tilt my head, puzzled. What on earth is going on?

—You’re Akane, right?

Kampfer – Volume 10

—Right now it’s me… Well, this might be the first time I’ve told you something like this, so maybe I won’t Understand. The current me and the me with glasses used to communicate, but right now it’s different. And this After it’s all over, perhaps he won’t appear again.

—…

I remained silent. Should I say something or not?

—Right now I’m here. That’s the only thing that’s certain. I want you to remember that.

She was serious. Well, in the sense that Akane is always serious in a crazy way, but this time she was

to be clear.

Akane, the ferocious dog, is always torn between firing a gun or saying something nasty. If someone like that w

nearby, the consequence would be to be dragged along, and I would prefer that it be transformed instead. However, the Akane of today asked me not to forget that part of her.

“I’m not asking for luxuries. You just have to remember this moment. The rest, give it to a dog if you want.” It is necessary.

-You…

—That’s all I wanted to say.

—…

—What’s with that complicated expression!?

Akane drew her weapon again. Wow, it seems she doesn’t know the meaning of the word “control.” The gun barrel was pointed at his forehead. I hope the other customers think it’s a toy gun.

—I was just thinking about you! What’s wrong with you?

—Oh, really?

“I can’t forget you! That’s why you’re pointing a gun at me like this.” —What would happen if there was no weapon?

—You’re so convincing I’d never forget you.

Kampfer – Volume 10

There is no other woman in all of Japan with a personality like hers. Call her a national treasure or a monument

natural wouldn’t be so inappropriate.

But that probably wasn’t what he meant.

—…Then, that’s fine.

He put the gun away.

—Now, treat the me before I transform with all the love you have.

—It’s you.

—For Natsuru, I suppose so.

Akane stood up. When I looked more closely, there was about half her drink left.

—I said what I wanted to say. You’re going shopping, aren’t you?

—What are you going to do, Akane?

—I’m going for a walk by myself. Don’t bother me.

With that, she turned around and left the store. For some reason, I couldn’t call her back.

Before my eyes lay two glasses and a tray. I thought to myself, somewhat ridiculously: “Will I be the one who has to pick this up?”

■

Apparently I was talking to Akane for a short time, so I had no trouble getting through the

time.

This time it was my turn to meet Shizuku. And, as expected, I was late again. It seems that I was being dragged back into the previous conversation.

—You’re so slow.

“I barely arrived at the meeting place,” Shizuku said. “I don’t consider myself to be that extremely late.”

Kampfer – Volume 10

—Why do you think I called you yesterday?

A sermon just like that? It’s because I was talking to Akane.

—I’m here, isn’t that okay?

—You weren’t that late, so it’s okay, more or less.

She’s very detail-oriented. In class 2-4 there’s a boy named Yamashiba who’s the king of tardiness; he’s always

80% of school days. Once he came in the first period before summer vacation, and at that time

Everyone was saying, “Yamashiba’s here!” and there was a huge commotion. However, that time he left early.

What I mean is that I’m not that bad.

There was no reason why Shizuku’s reasoning should be accepted; she simply said:

“Come on”.

She walked into the station building. I quickly followed her.

Are there shops inside?

—There are many.

—I didn’t know.

—Natsuru isn’t interested in clothes. Although there aren’t that many stores that sell underwear.

We went up on the escalator. Now that I think about it, there are a lot of brightly colored stalls. Are they all…

Women’s clothing brands? According to Shizuku: “In every small building at the station, there are always wome

“On sale.” Maybe that’s true. And in comparison, there’s little variety in men’s clothing. This is Discrimination against men! Let’s all file a complaint together!

—Even women’s underwear can be bought in specialized stores without any problems.

—Is that really true?

—Yes, there is. You can try it on too.

—Try me!?

Won’t there be hygiene problems? If men do that, won’t there be riots?

Shizuku pretended to tug at the shoulder straps. Ah, she means that. Yes, the underwear is a little…

Kampfer – Volume 10

We got off on the third floor. The whole floor was full of women’s items. They were selling things right in front of

perfumes and cosmetics.

-Here.

I follow Shizuku into a wider area.

Besides what is commonly called underwear, socks and handkerchiefs were also sold. There were

quite a few customers.

It’s really an unfamiliar area for me. I don’t even know what brands are there. Why would a student of Would a male high school student be interested in the women’s lingerie section?

“Because they’re not expensive,” Shizuku says. Wow, you’re well-informed.

—You can buy with confidence too, Natsuru.

—It’s not about trust.

I made a complaint to Shizuku.

—Ara, why?

—If a man like me buys it, people will think strange things.

—Aaahh.

Shizuku laughed softly. It’s rare to see her like this.

—Yes, that’s right. You’re disguised as a man now. I hadn’t noticed because I’m used to it.

—Notice! It seems the customers are paying attention to me.

It might be an exaggerated sense of self-awareness, but I feel like a customer in the store is watching me.

Staring. Is this women’s territory, and shouldn’t men venture here? At least

I’d need a passport and visa, wouldn’t I? I feel like Shizuku is looking at me with interest.

—So, should I buy it?

—That’s how I prefer it.

He doesn’t look suspicious, and I’m not being shown any hostility. That’s how it should have been from the start —Then let’s go.

Kampfer – Volume 10

—O-Oi. Why me too?

—It’s obvious; let’s shop together. I don’t know your underwear size.

—And I have to choose!?

—Of course.

Shizuku wasn’t interested in my objections. She just dragged me into the store.

Inside, I realized it was quite a lustful world. It was on a level far beyond my own.

Understanding. It’s not usual to be surrounded by underwear. I thought it would be colorful and varied, but it wa There weren’t many bright colors. They were rather understated, with a lot of white and beige.

—If you have bright colors, the line shows through the skirt, and the shape is clearly visible.

Yet another reason why Shizuku reads my mind.

—I don’t mind people staring at me. Especially in hot weather like this.

—Then just don’t wear a skirt from the start.

—That’s something typical of women.

Shizuku said.

—I want to dress nicely. But I don’t like being looked at by people I don’t like. If there were someone If I like it and I’m planning to wear daring underwear, the story would be different.

—I don’t quite understand.

—You’d better understand that.

—What about the president?

Although my intention was to be dismissive, she didn’t seem willing to respond.

—Do you want to see?

-… Alright.

I think I remember him liking white. I saw him somewhere where we stayed.

We started choosing underwear. Well, her hands were working, while I was just nervous.

Kampfer – Volume 10

Shizuku compared my underwear to myself.

—What bra size do you wear?

-I have no idea.

—I’m sure you’ve bought one for yourself before, right?

Why do you know that, huh? I said I had it, but did I say I bought it myself?

—I don’t understand anything about cups and that.

I declared it honestly.

—I don’t even know how to see the sizes, so I just chose randomly. Why is there so much information about cup Why is all of that necessary for women?

—For us, all of that is necessary.

I’d rather you didn’t ask me, a man.

She chose at random.

—I only trust my memory, so don’t complain if it doesn’t fit perfectly.

—It would be better if you didn’t wear it.

—Elementary school girls shouldn’t wear bras. Or even after they become adults.

Is there a difference in speed in this?

The bra Shizuku chose had a label that said “Size E” or something like that. Light blue. Safe. that will fit me well.

—By doing that, they’ll surely think they’re my underwear.

He started talking strange things.

—Of course, I’m a man.

—Are you thinking about choosing underwear for our nights together?

—What about nights spent together?

I believe that at some point Hamamatsu eel cakes were called “night sweets”.

Kampfer – Volume 10

I won’t talk anymore about what a couple is; normally, I’ll start talking about “you and me.” Even I have

learned.

Shizuku was selecting several bras. Frankly, aside from the color, I don’t understand the differences.

Then we moved on to the panties. Well, they only shifted slightly to one side.

—Did you change the shape of your butt?

—No, I think it got bigger.

—You have a good style.

I have no idea about that.

Even when I see myself transformed into a woman in the mirror, I can see my chest but I can’t see my butt. I don’t have eyes in the back of my head. I suppose I should use two mirrors together, but observing that far wo

quite narcissistic or perverted.

Shizuku chose the panties, saying, “How about these?” The color was the same as the bra.

—They have to be the same.

Haha, so that’s why we moved just a little to one side. They should sell them together, the part

from above and below.

So, she took the underwear to the box.

There was a young woman at the register, but she’s definitely older than us. Maybe she’s been around for a wh

less than a year working there?

The older sister was watching Shizuku.

—…Is this okay?

-Yeah.

Shizuku replied.

—Excuse me, but it seems the size doesn’t quite fit you.

—Ara.

Kampfer – Volume 10

—I think it would be better to use underwear that fits properly. It’s also possible to measure over

the clothes.

—It’s a shame, but it’s not for me. It belongs to this person here.

Shizuku glanced at me out of the corner of her eye.

Of course, the older sister was surprised. However, she was a professional in the trade. No I would shout out loud.

—…From this gentleman here?

—It’s necessary.

—Aha…

—I, on the other hand, would buy something a little more daring. Competition underwear. But he’s still a He’s new to underwear, so this is fine for him.

—Is that so…?

The older sister, who was stunned, gave me a look as if she were seeing dirt. Wait a Wait a minute. I’m innocent.

I intervened quickly.

—No, you see, this isn’t…

—Isn’t it the client’s?

—It’s mine, but…

But something doesn’t add up. Could you avoid that disdainful tone?

The woman silently scanned the barcode and displayed the amount.

I took out my wallet. It’s my underwear, so I have to pay, but this will only increase the misunderstanding.

With the woman’s cold “Thank you” in mind, Shizuku and I left the store.

Shizuku turned her wrist to look at her watch.

—We still have time, huh?

Kampfer – Volume 10

—…

—Would you like to grab something light somewhere?

—… President.

-What’s happening?

—Why do you say “it’s mine”!?

—Isn’t it Natsuru’s?

—Well, yes, but… it seems like something a man would use.

I exclaimed. Now I’ve confirmed my perversion. A quiet man shopping with a woman alone. to buy underwear? What inferences are being drawn here? I can’t go back to this building. season.

As expected, Shizuku doesn’t seem worried.

—I know you use it now that you’ve become a woman.

—That shop assistant has no idea…

—I already know, so just leave it.

Are there any conversations more absurd than this one?

—You should be grateful that I was able to buy what I needed.

—I have never felt gratitude towards someone holding the position of president in my entire life.

—Then I’ll be the first.

That attitude that rejects any protest. It’s not just about being shameless; what did he eat to raise a woman?

So? The government should investigate their secret through an urgent autopsy.

Shizuku was going down to the first floor on the escalator. I thought about stopping her there in protest, but The shop assistant’s glare made me stop abruptly. If I stay here against my will, I’d be… obstruction of trade by a pervert.

The first floor was narrow, as it also served as a passageway to the station. However, at one end There was a self-service coffee shop corner. That’s where Akane and I had our drinks.

Kampfer – Volume 10

—Shall we go there?

-Alright.

—Well, but…

—It’s as if you’ve been here before.

That’s true, but I’d better not mention it.

This was my second time at the cafeteria. First, we secured our seats and went to buy the

Drinks. We looked at the menu behind the counter. Anything’s fine. I’m not that thirsty, so Anything is fine. I already had something a while ago.

—What are you going to have, Natsuru?

—Hmm… Iced coffee.

—Then, me too.

We both politely placed the drinks on the tray. Whether “being polite” is a subjective opinion.

Shizuku.

We sat facing the round seats. These seats are usually unstable and make you feel

Uncomfortable, but they were quite firm here. And they were pretty comfortable. We still had time. But really,

Why are we relaxing here instead of going to Sakura-san’s house?

—President, is it okay to do this here?

-I don’t mind.

Shizuku responded indifferently.

—It’s not like we’re standing outside all the time.

—Yes, but, by doing this, it seems that we are alone.

—We are alone.

He answered as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

—It’s like a date, isn’t it?

Here we go again.

Kampfer – Volume 10

For some time now, I’ve felt like Shizuku and I are doing a lot of things together. Sometimes I just stayed in Her house (without success at anything), sometimes we went to school at night. It would be a problem if Shizuk They’ll find out about things like that. There are a lot of crazy fans.

If I hear rumors like “Sakura-san went on a date with someone,” I understand why they want to eliminate that. I need information, but I don’t want my life in danger. That’s why all this sitting here face to face is so important.

an illusion.

—But… doesn’t it seem strange to you?

—In what sense?

—So, the president… didn’t she confess her love to me?

—I did it, didn’t I?

—So why are we here so calmly?

—I don’t know why, to be honest.

Shizuku doesn’t seem that surprised. Is she just putting on a poker face, or is she simply indifferent?

—Perhaps it’s because you want to be like this.

—It’s not something that affects me.

—But I do.

That’s true. If it weren’t for me, it would be you.

—Having confessed my love and received no response, you should at least make me feel a little better, Don’t you think so?

—Is this what you call having a good time?

—Yes, it’s quite fun.

Shizuku smiled. Although that smile didn’t suit her, she looked beautiful somehow at that moment.

—Going shopping alone with the man you like, chatting about silly things face to face. Isn’t that wonderful?

What we bought was a bra and panties.

—If I can do this with Natsuru, I’m willing to pay any price.

Kampfer – Volume 10

—The president always manages to throw me off balance, no matter what.

—This might even be the last time I do something like this.

-Hey?

It was an unexpected line. I couldn’t help but exclaim aloud.

—It’s not that everyone is going to die after all this.

—Even if a nuclear war were to break out, the president does not appear to be able to die.

—I confessed to you. And, in the end, I hope to get an answer.

—Well, I see.

—But in a confession, the answer isn’t always yes, is it?

—…

Well, that’s true. Shizuku is beautiful, has a great body, and is also intelligent, but she’s not exactly… my type.

I haven’t decided how to respond to the confession. I just thought of the excuse that it has to do with my honor.

I’m just postponing it. So it’s not a yes or a no, and it’s not definitely either. After all, Mikoto is there too. Shizuku’s opinion makes sense.

—I’m going to make Natsuru say yes.

Wow, that’s confident. It’s terrifying that it doesn’t sound like a painful line.

—But at the same time, I want to consider the opposite. If it’s a no, we won’t be able to do this together again.

That’s why I want to enjoy myself a little, even if it’s just a little.

—It’s like reading a lot of manga before studying for an exam, right?

I do it quite often. I accumulate a little more of “a little more” and often fall asleep from exhaustion.

—You should tone that down a bit… Although, I suppose that’s the kind of feeling it is, isn’t it?

—You’re considering the possibility of losing, aren’t you?

“I don’t like to lose. But if the opponent is Mikoto or Akane, I’ll be careful too.”

Kampfer – Volume 10

Shouldn’t you include Sakura-san in that too? After all, we’re going to her house.

Shizuku has barely considered Sakura-san. Because she knows that Sakura-san only sees me as “one of my m “male friends.” She’s probably convinced I’ll never go out with Sakura-san.

It won’t be like that. How about something like this? (There’s a possibility that the ordinary Sakura-san and the e I like her, and Sakura-san doesn’t feel anything. I just got a feeling that makes sense.

Shizuku stares at me intently.

—I’m thinking about Kaede too. On a different level than the declaration. She won’t interfere between us, Mikoto nor Akane.

—It’s not safe. You’re being careful, right?

—There’s a possibility. But it’s probably something completely different. Like being obsessed with Kämpfer.

I remained silent. I don’t believe Shizuku is a psychic who can make predictions. Even if she comes close.

But she is piecing together possibilities from various tests and trying to complete the puzzle.

It can even infer the approximate shape and color of the missing pieces; that’s how it predicts.

She’s a really smart woman, isn’t she? But it would be better if she didn’t confess her feelings to me. However, both Shizuku and Akane somehow sound as if everything ends here. Could it be that Is Kämpfer also an experience?

—Is it going to happen at Sakura-san’s house?

—There is no confirmation.

—Is there a possibility that Sakura-san’s parents want to marry their daughter off?

—It’s not in my case.

—It would be good if there were one.

—There is nothing that doesn’t exist, you know.

She said it so easily. Of course, I didn’t believe her. If I went home, there was a possibility, no doubt about it. So

which would be like this.

Kampfer – Volume 10

Shizuku looked at the clock. I looked too. Oh, it’s already time! It’s gotten so late because we were talking nonse We finished our iced coffee, threw away the plastic cups, and returned the tray before heading out

hurriedly to the meeting point.

Akane and Mikoto had already arrived. It seemed that Shizuku and I had agreed to meet and

to come together. Well, actually, that’s how it was.

The women were all dressed in civilian clothes. That was to be expected. Akane wore a skirt with a cute Jacket. A sweet loli style? Mikoto and Shizuku were wearing jeans. Mikoto should be used to it by now. She wore pants because of her exploits in uncharted territory, but she didn’t expect to see Shizuku dressed as

similar way. However, this woman looks good in anything she wears. It’s terrifying that she seems

an actress.

-Good morning!

It was Akane who greeted us cheerfully. Not a trace of her earlier rabid attitude. It seems as if we We were meeting for the first time. I returned the greeting with a “good morning”.

—Natsuru-san managed to wake up early this morning. I thought he’d oversleep.

—I’ve woken up.

I definitely like to sleep, but I knew Akane before I knew the president.

While Shizuku watched us like that,

—I mean, I called you yesterday to wake you up.

—President, did you call Natsuru-san?

Akane asked.

—Yes, I did.

—Even so, Natsuru-san was later than us, maybe I should have done it.

She said with a smile. Just for a moment, Shizuku grimaced.

—I’m glad I made the call.

-Really?

Kampfer – Volume 10

-Yeah.

Shizuku said it as if she’d reached a conclusion. Somehow, I feel like her lines don’t have the same The usual freshness. It’s rare.

Mikoto, who provides the curry, was distracted. More precisely, she wasn’t trying to see me.

When I casually approached, he moved slightly away. His gaze was completely elsewhere.

This is also strange. Usually, she used to throw kicks and punches as soon as we saw each other.

She’s used to giving me curry. She seems a little stiff in her movements.

—Mikoto, good mor-…

—A-Akane-chan. Don’t we need to take the train?

Despite my attempt to greet her, Mikoto ignored me and spoke to Akane.

Instead of looking at her watch, Akane looked up at the large, luminous screen in the station.

—It’s still fine. We should have plenty of time.

—Oh, I see. Then that’s fine.

Mikoto satisfied herself.

—Eer, Akane-chan, did you bring what you needed?

—If it’s a change of clothes…

—That too, but it’s also about visceral animals, right?

—I brought it.

Akane diligently answered Mikoto’s question. Feeling somewhat excluded, I asked Shizuku.

—Regarding the visceral animals, did the president inform you?

-That’s how it is.

Shizuku replied. “Huh? So he didn’t call everyone instead of just me?”

—I told them to bring them. They all agreed.

Then he added something unnecessary.

Kampfer – Volume 10

—It wasn’t necessary to add “make sure you wake up properly.” Sorry.

By the way, Sakura-san isn’t here, but that’s understandable, since she’s waiting at home. In other words, she w Welcoming her. Wouldn’t it be better if it was just me? Shizuku is annoying in so many ways, isn’t she?

—So, shall we take the train?

I urged them all.

However, for some reason, Shizuku was looking elsewhere and didn’t move from this spot.

—Hey, Madam President. Aren’t you coming up?

—Yes, I’m going up.

—What are you looking at?

I looked in the same direction as Shizuku. There was nothing particularly strange. Buses were passing by, the People were walking around and so on.

Shizuku had already looked away.

—I feel like I saw someone I know.

—A teacher from the school?

—No, that’s not it.

That was all he said, then he led the way by walking forward.

So we decided to take the train. We bought the tickets and went through the turnstiles. Mikoto was still acting It’s awkward even here. Does he really want to ignore me like this?

Sakura-san’s house is in Kanagawa. We have to make several train changes. Even though it’s just one day It was a festive occasion; there were many men in suits on the train. Thank you for your hard work.

Kanagawa, despite what I say, is quite large. It extends beyond Yokohama. Shizuku and I know the address.

I asked her.

—President, where is Sakura-san’s house?

—Natsuru heard it too, didn’t he?

Kampfer – Volume 10

—I have no idea because I’m not familiar with the area.

—Here it is.

Shizuku showed me the note on her mobile phone. Near Odawara.

—Did you ask Sakura-san?

-Yeah.

-As?

—By phone.

That’s normal. Isn’t it obvious?

—Kaede said, “Natsuru-san, is it okay if you don’t need my address?” —No, she told it to me too…

—It seems that girl doesn’t remember.

Hmm, here’s more evidence. And Shizuku is noticing it too. How nerve-wracking, it’ll all work out.

This trip?

—Anyway, it’s quite far.

—We’re not going all the way to Atami.

Of course. That’s already in Shizuoka Prefecture.

When this happens, standing up becomes difficult. Although you’re young and shouldn’t complain.

At Kawasaki, people get off and a box seat for four becomes available.

“Natsuru-san, let’s sit down,” Akane says. We sit down.

“I’d like to sit next to Natsuru-san,” Akane said, quickly taking her seat. She, once again, acted first. that Shizuku might say something. Lately, she’s been quite bold.

And Shizuku never once makes eye contact with me. Furthermore, she sits diagonally across from me.

—I didn’t think it would be an overnight stay.

Akane says this while holding her bag with both hands.

Kampfer – Volume 10

—It’s far away, so I guess so.

—Sakura-san, have you always lived alone?

-I’m not sure.

I glance at Shizuku. She knows far more about Sakura-san than I do.

Feeling the gaze, Shizuku begins to speak.

—As a child, her parents were in Tokyo, although I never saw them.

—Heee.

—It seems they have houses in several places. Perhaps I just happened to go to school in Tokyo.

—Is Sakura-san’s family wealthy?

—They probably have a higher standard of living than average.

Shizuku subtly avoids the question.

Now that I think about it, I don’t know much about Sakura-san’s private life. Was there a section about the Family composition in the Beauty Research Club data book?

That’s due to the mindset of followers who say, “If there’s love, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know it.” This should

It’s a feeling that many boys who love Sakura-san also have, not just me. Sakura-san

He’s recently shown a slightly scary side, so I’m nervous, as that seems to be the case.

Incidentally, the one with the most fanatical followers of this type is the president. After all, just with Picking up a single hair from this girl will send them into a frenzy. Among those I know, there’s someone

who obsessively takes pictures of footprints or even wet hallways on rainy days.

They started selling these albums a while ago, and although I was surprised, it seems they are selling well.

Pretty good. Maybe there are only perverts in the world?

But is Sakura-san’s family rich or something? Although she appears to have a refined servant, no It has no malice whatsoever.

—What do your parents do?

—They seem like busy people, don’t they?

Kampfer – Volume 10

Shizuku said. It seems her parents are workaholics too.

—Will we meet his parents?

—Do you want to see them?

—Anyway, you should at least say hello.

I said. Of course, there are various types of greetings. Things like talking about marriage.

If I marry Sakura-san, will I have to move to Kanagawa? No, I remember there was an apartment nearby From the school. I could get permission there. Or maybe have my parents buried in Kyushu.

Shizuku is giving me a warning look. She seems to be saying, “Are you going to think about nonsense again?” “See?” How is she so sharp? It’s annoying because she’s right.

I’ll play dumb. It would be better for my health.

—With my parents, well…

I headed towards Akane.

—Akane-chan’s house was also near Sakura-san’s house, right?

-Yes that’s how it is.

She seemed to have an expression like, “Are you finally paying attention to me?”

—That area. My parents moved there shortly before I was born. My father used to work in development. projects in a factory, but shortly after I was born, he changed jobs.

—Hey, did they hire him from another company?

—No, he became a carpenter.

Wow, that’s something. It’s not bad, but it’s unusual.

—However, Dad, he’s really clever. Just with his skill, he’s sending me to high school in Tokyo.

It’s certainly impressive. My parents seem to be having a lot of fun in Kyushu, but they don’t seem to be Working for me, it seems they don’t want to leave because they feel comfortable there.

—That’s why I’ve been in primaries over there all this time.

Kampfer – Volume 10

—Hmph.

Somehow, I decided to ask.

—Do you remember anything about Sakura-san from your childhood?

Akane bowed her head.

—No, not really. But I think Sakura-san was in Tokyo.

—Have you heard anything about Sakura-san’s parents?

—… No, I don’t think so.

Well, I suppose being so young it’s not surprising. If I could get some information about the parents.

Sakura-san here could make a good impression.

—Natsuru-san, why do you want to know that?

—It’s nothing, I’m just curious.

I answered vaguely. I don’t need to reveal my grand plans now. Despite Shizuku’s cold stare, I already I’m not going to hide it. And Mikoto continues to turn her back.

The train swayed with each type of track. Unbeknownst to it, it was making its way through the mountains. Whe We made it this far, a different view of Tokyo, huh?

We changed trains once. We got on a train with fewer cars.

I started to get hungry.

—Perhaps I should buy an ekiben? (lunch box sold at train stations) —I don’t think it’s necessary at this time.

Shizuku said as she checked the time.

—Since we’ll be traveling for a while, you can buy one at the next connection. You can wait.

to eat, or do it once we get there.

What should I do? Should I check how my stomach is?

—Or perhaps you’d like to eat with Kaede?

Kampfer – Volume 10

Now that I think about it, Sakura-san is a good cook, won’t she prepare something for me?

—I’m also good at cooking, but…

I don’t need your skills.

The train runs between the fields. As it approaches this area, it’s only electrified, and then it’s just a line. local.

I’m changing it once again. At this point, even if you tell me it’s not JR, but a local railway in Central Asia, I wouldn’t understand. The fans could respond immediately, but I can’t.

I went down to the platform, crossed the overpass to the opposite platform. Unable to bear the hunger, I bought

a station lunch box, of course, for everyone.

The next train also had box seats for four people, so I sat there. As soon as It started to move, I opened the lunch box.

This would be my lunch. As I used my chopsticks, I looked ahead.

—…

—What are you looking at?

Shizuku turned towards me.

—So Senou-kun likes girls’ food scenes, huh?

—No, it’s not that, it’s just that… the president eats very fast.

Shizuku’s lunchbox was almost empty.

Saying he eats fast wasn’t a compliment or irony. He really does eat very fast. The way he moved

The chopsticks looked like something out of a fast-forward video. Besides, he was barely chewing. We had eate

several times, but have I ever eaten as fast as I did today?

—It’s not good for a girl to eat so fast, you say?

—Well… do you think so?

—Everyone brings work to the student council, so I’ve gotten used to eating fast. I never thought the The fact that I was saving time to eat would take its toll.

Kampfer – Volume 10

Shizuku is known for being surprisingly busy compared to other high school students. normal. It’s thanks to her that students can freely do stupid things. But do you remember When did we eat lunch together? On the rooftop.

—I finished early because I wanted to eat with Natsuru.

Ah, I see… Hey, when he said “together,” Akane understood something about it.

—It’s just a habit I have now.

The student council president closed the lid of her fast food and wrapped it as before, but no He put away the toothpicks.

I was about to eat a seaweed roll when Shizuku suddenly extended her chopsticks and took them.

-I heard…

Before I could say anything, he stood in front of me.

—Yes. Say “Aaahhn”.

I froze. Hey, are you going to do that here?

Akane and Mikoto are stunned, watching us. They’re looking at us closely. Shizuku seems calm, like

If it were natural. And I wonder, what should I do with this roll of seaweed here?

—Aren’t you going to eat?

-No…

—It’s yours, Senou-kun.

—Yes, but since you took it yourself, you should eat it.

Even if he says that, he’s not someone who listens. First of all, what’s with doing it in front of everyone? Still I can’t get used to this kind of thing.

For some reason, I remember an embarrassing incident that was like a “wanko soba style kiss” (kind of (noodle eating competition where they serve you one after another without stopping) in my mind.

But there’s no way out now. As she was wondering whether she should eat it, a hand reached out from the side —I’ll take it.

Kampfer – Volume 10

Akane grabbed the strip of seaweed with her fingers, put it in her mouth, and then turned around a little.

—The president is playing too many pranks on Natsuru-san.

—Aren’t you being rather bold lately, Mishima-san?

—I’m fine.

The atmosphere inside the train car was somewhat tense. I lowered my head and concentrated on finishing my

I can feel the tension in the air between Akane and Shizuku. Who was the idiot who thought of a table for Four people? They should ban this at the United Nations.

The tension continued even after we finished eating. Do we need a funny story for this?

To relax the atmosphere? In class 2-4 of the men’s section, there’s someone who talks nonsense at times like

This attracts contempt. If I do it, it’ll be similar, and they’ll glare at me. By the way, in the section

Among women, there are few who don’t read the room. Apparently, the vice president is a suspect, but she is

expert at making people laugh for real.

An announcement was made inside the train car. In a drawn-out voice, the next stop was announced. Shizuku r face.

—Next.

We’re getting ready to go down.

The station we got off at was typical of a town… Well, I know it would be bad if I put it that way for the

People from Kanagawa. It’s a place where tourism and work blend together. Although it’s within the Kanagawa Commuting to Tokyo, it is a station where you can find local products and an information office

tour.

We went outside. The sunlight was quite strong. I started to sweat as I felt dizzy.

—I want to eat some ice cream…

Mikoto murmured, so without realizing it, I suggested it.

—Do you want me to go buy one?

Despite being just that, Mikoto jumped like a child who’d had an insect placed on her back. Although

She has a great resistance to insects.

Kampfer – Volume 10

—N-No, it’s not necessary! You don’t have to do that…

—It’s okay, it’s fine if I buy one.

—Stop worrying so much.

—Why are you so nervous?

—I’m not… nervous…

Mikoto’s voice had become softer.

It was a completely different response from the Mikoto I knew up to this point. In a different way.

Shizuku seemed to have courage and didn’t appear to be the type of girl who would accept catastrophic natural

so easily.

Come to think of it, isn’t this the first conversation we’ve had today? After all, he wasn’t even looking at me. to the eyes.

—Of course… that… isn’t a big deal…

I almost swallowed a hole in the ground.

—What to do with the ice cream?

—…

She stopped responding. While she was thinking about what to do, Shizuku interrupted.

—I want one too, can you buy one for everyone?

Mikoto was relieved. “Thank you, President…” But I wasn’t thinking about that.

—Does that include the president’s ice cream?

-Of course.

—Go buy it yourself.

—Are you planning to make a woman work?

—In ancient Japan, women also did physical labor, did you know?

—But we are in the present day.

Kampfer – Volume 10

I know that, but that’s not what I mean.

Shizuku is a girl, of course, but she’s no slouch when it comes to sports. Well, it’s obvious.

A little less so compared to Hanzawa, who is good at baseball but can compete quite well in Endurance race. She’s definitely faster than me. In short distances, she’s the best among the girls.

She’s probably faster than me too.

In short, she’s better at moving her body than I am. Even so, why on earth am I the one who has to go to Buy? Or rather, you should buy for me too.

However, she’s not the kind of girl who would consider those kinds of things.

—I will pay.

—Of course, because the president is older than me.

—So running to the store is the job of the youngest person, right?

I probably have no choice but to say, “You’re absolutely right.”

I took Shizuku’s money and went to buy ice cream at the supermarket next to the station. There’s been a lot of i

convenient shops inside the station.

I thought about buying ice cream in a cup just to be annoying, but I decided against it. It’s not convenient to hav

occupied.

I bought ice cream bars for the number of people. Surprisingly, the amount of money it gave me Shizuku was always precise, without fail. Had she planned it beforehand?

When the girl on duty told me, “We’re having a raffle as part of a promotion,” I participated, but

I didn’t win anything, so I was disappointed and went back. The girl on duty even took care of me, asking me to I didn’t feel bad. Did he seem so disappointed?

I hand out ice cream to everyone. Mikoto received hers without our eyes meeting again.

—Thank you. Here is my thanks.

Shizuku handed me a package.

—Hey, here’s your package!

—A man is more attractive if he wears it, you know?

Kampfer – Volume 10

—What’s the point of being attractive now?

—Well, Natsuru is already popular even without doing this kind of thing, right?

And he mentioned Natsuru again. Does that prove I’m attractive? To me, being attractive means

to walk down the street and make girls faint, or to have a popular TV actress tell me

“Hug me” in a drama. Or maybe a beautiful heiress will propose to me as soon as she inherits the Her parents’ fortune. There’s no point in being popular as the student council president somewhere.

—Natsuru-san is charming.

Akane said something a little out of place.

—Even though you’re not attractive, I think you’re great.

That’s quite a subtle opinion, don’t you think?

I open the bag of ice cream and put it in my mouth. At that moment, I noticed that Akane’s bag was strangely

large. Perhaps because of his small stature. The part of the rope he was holding was in a The place was strange; it seemed uncomfortable.

I stretched out my hand.

—Akane-chan, I’ll help you.

—Uh… it’s okay, it’s not necessary.

—It seems difficult to sustain.

—Is that so? Then…

She handed me the bag.

It felt heavy! Whoa, it’s heavy! What on earth do women carry in their bags? Maybe makeup?

It looks like there are bottles inside.

I, of course, haven’t brought cosmetics or anything like that. I can buy underwear, but I don’t lend it. Pay attention to these kinds of things. I feel a little regretful for having shown kindness. I can’t

back down at this time.

—If it’s so heavy, should I carry it?

Kampfer – Volume 10

Shizuku says. This woman certainly seems stronger than me. I’ve heard she has a good grip. In fact,

She’s the best at sports among the girls. She must have great physical stamina too. For now, I’m declining the o -Alright.

—You’re a real man.

—It’s not that heavy.

—Then why don’t you offer to carry yours, Kondou-san?

This girl. She says unnecessary things.

I can’t just ignore it, so I told Mikoto the same thing.

—Mikoto, I’ll carry it.

—… Stop it, seriously.

Mikoto shudders and clutches the bag with both hands. It looks as if she’s going to take it away.

—Let me carry it.

—Okay. Really… just leave it.

In the end, she stubbornly refused to give it to me.

Sakura-san is waiting at home, so we decided to walk from the station. Shizuku, who knows the The director goes to the front. As the baggage handler, I’m at the rear.

As we walk, I remember.

—Ah, doesn’t Akane-chan need to go home?

—Ah… right.

She hurriedly pulled out her mobile phone. As always, there’s something absentminded about her. Tap-tap, the Akane covered the receiver with her hand and said, “Yes, yes.” It sounds like she’s talking to a business partne

professionals, and it seems that if they say something inappropriate, it doesn’t go well for them. It seems that “u “To protect himself,” according to him. He’s a strange guy, even though he’s Hanzawa.

Kampfer – Volume 10

He hung up the phone.

—Uhm… it seems they’re not home yet.

—Huh?

—Since they’re out, they told me to go to my friend’s house first.

Wow, what free-spirited parents.

Akane said, “I’ve been trying so hard to introduce you to Natsuru-san.” Personally, I thought that was fine. First, Let’s go with Sakura-san.

We were all wandering around together. Because of the good weather, we had a picnic atmosphere. As it starte Wind, I didn’t even sweat. Since I’m like a porter, I don’t have the ability to enjoy the scenery.

Walking a short distance from the station, the tall buildings disappeared. Only houses and fields remained. a relatively nearby mountain.

—It’s a quiet place, isn’t it?

I murmured. Although cars pass by, there isn’t an overwhelming smell of urban life like in the complexes.

Residential areas. Won’t it be dangerous at night?

—This is a summer house area.

Shizuku, who was in the lead, didn’t miss my words.

-Hey?

—Before the war, this place thrived as a summer home area. Although not so much anymore, it still

Traces remain.

I see, now that I think about it, there are many places with ample space between houses. They’re not vacation r

but authentic places. The tranquility is due to many empty houses.

—Akane-chan’s home is around here too, right?

—Yes, over there.

Akane pointed diagonally to the left.

—Isn’t this an area of ■■summer homes?

Kampfer – Volume 10

—They should be existing houses. That area was developed after the war.

—You’re not coming home yet, are you okay?

—I still have plenty of time.

Where could Akane’s parents be hanging around? Shizuku turned several corners. She hasn’t checked her note

on your mobile phone. The address is in your head. Like a navigation system.

As the number of trees increased, houses became less frequent.

We arrived in front of a remarkably large house.

—Will it be here?

Shizuku looked up. I was speechless.

Before us was not a house, but rather a mansion. Moreover, a Western-style mansion. With its

Imposing walls painted a birch-like color. The front yard was spacious, probably It’s intended for both parking and a garden. Oh, and there’s a garage too.

The entrance was also large, with a double door. I felt intimidated.

—This… isn’t it a mansion?

—Well, it seems so.

Shizuku remained unfazed. Akane and Mikoto were stunned.

—Shall we go in?

—Huh? Shall we go?

—Why did we come here?

Yes, that’s right. But come on, this mansion looks like something out of a drama or movie, doesn’t it? It’s quite… Modern, it looks more like a large boarding house. Is it privately owned? If you leave it to an accountant, He will try to resell it and keep the difference.

Shizuku walks quickly and pulls on what appears to be the doorbell. Instead of touching it, does she pull it?

A while later, a huge door opens.

-Welcome!

Kampfer – Volume 10

Sakura-san appeared, smiling.

—I’m sorry, I made you walk from the station. I should have come to pick you up.

—That’s fine. The view was nice, so it was interesting to walk.

Really? I don’t think Shizuku paid much attention to the view. Is she putting the conversation together? naturally?

—Both Kondou-san and Mishima-san, thank you for coming. I’m happy.

Akane says, “N-No… I was surprised,” and Mikoto mentions, “It’s as big as the ruins I saw in Peru.” Both They’re a little strange.

“There’s no need to get nervous. I’ll welcome you.”

Sakura-san is shaking hands with both of them. I’ve always thought this girl is a bit clingy with

women.

After that, Sakura-san finally pointed in my direction.

—Natsuru-san, please make yourself at home.

And that’s how it ended. Am I the last one?

Sakura-san said, “I’ll show you your rooms,” and then asked, “Where is Natsuru-san?”

—Am I not here?

—I’m referring to the girl Natsuru.

Ah, I see. I was confused about whether he was coming or not.

Sakura-san feels sympathy for the female version of myself, but she still wants to see me as I am. Right?

Do you think it’s better to see me without embellishments? Forget me as a woman.

Shizuku intervened from the side.

—I think he’ll come later.

-Really?

—Yes. She doesn’t seem to be a very early riser in the morning. She also arrives quite late to school.

Kampfer – Volume 10

Shizuku glanced at me once. What was that blinking just now? Did she get something in her eye?

Sakura-san returned to normal from a disappointed expression and then led us.

We went up the metal stairs with a railing. It looks like there’s a reception room on the second floor.

With so many doors, you’ll surely have no problem finding a place to stay.

I happened to approach Shizuku.

-Chairwoman.

—What’s wrong? If it’s a secret conversation, speak more softly.

—I understand… Why did you say that to Sakura-san?

—About Natsuru, the girl?

-Yeah.

—It’s better that he comes than that he doesn’t come.

—I don’t think so.

—Don’t worry. Did you forget who invited her here?

—Sakura-san, I suppose.

—Kaede’s dark side. You might become a Kämpfer and have to fight at some point. Without However, when you transform, you might still be the same Kaede you are now. It would be a problem if you

come at that moment.

Ah, I see. Certainly, that way, even if they see me, you can explain it. This woman really is very

It was intelligent of me to think that far in that brief exchange. But there’s also something that worries me.

—So, will I have to transform and return repeatedly?

-That’s how it is.

—That will be complicated!

Previously, I had the opportunity to do something at the home of the class president’s sister, and I stayed Dizzy! Honestly, I thought I was going to die.

Kampfer – Volume 10 79

—It’s less stressful to make up excuses about the presence of someone who theoretically isn’t there, right?

Let’s try to make it seem less strange.

But of course, won’t I end up being the only one with problems?

Shizuku cut the conversation short. She doesn’t seem willing to listen to complaints. Is the student council presi Does a student always have to be so stubborn?

—We’ve arrived.

Without realizing it, we were already in the room. Another big door.

—This is the entertainment room for everyone. It used to be a conference room.

-Before?

—We bought this boarding house.

Sakura-san answered my question. I see. The owner probably sold it due to the high costs. maintenance is expensive, and it is luxurious and spacious for a guesthouse.

—That’s why it’s so spacious. The ceiling is high too. And there’s a swimming pool in the garden.

—Then please place your luggage in front of the room. I’ll give you the key later.

With those parting words, Sakura-san got off the plane. Somehow, we felt abandoned.

“…For now, let’s go to the room,” Shizuku said.

—And then, will we meet in the living room? It would be better to discuss it.

—About what?

—About Kaede, of course.

Shizuku responded to my words without hesitation.
