Kampfer – Volume 2

Chapter 1

Days off exist for indulging in laziness. That’s the law. It’s certainly the right. Civil law. Or was it criminal law? Oh well, never mind, you don’t need an excuse to sleep in. I, an ordinary high school student named Senou Natsuru, was fast asleep in my sleep from “X” since early Sunday morning. To be honest, I don’t just want to sleep in on holidays, but also on weekdays. If possible, I’d like to sleep until I drop, but that’s still a bit… Too early to die. So, that’s why I just woke up.

So, naturally, I didn’t want to get up.

—Wake up, please.

A voice like that of old Shizuka-chan (predecessor) was heard.

—Wake up, please.

I turned over in bed. Getting up after two or three attempts would be unmanly. In fact, I’m in a somewhat complicated situation to call myself a man, but anyway I didn’t want to get up out of bed.

—Wake up, please.

It was so annoying that, in order not to lose my prestige as a man, I reluctantly got up. Because I was sleepy, I looked with half-open eyes in the direction of the voice. It was coming from above a old desk.

What was there was a stuffed tiger.

This one had a peculiar appearance: he wore an eye patch and his entrails were exposed from his abdomen. Its appearance was so comical that, instead of being adorable, it exuded an unsettling, indescribable strangenIt was called Harakiritora. It was part of the Visceral Animals series.

Most people have probably never heard of the Gut Animals series. I hadn’t either.

until they gave it to me. It was launched by a toy manufacturer that was trying to make it big with products from Adorable characters. A concept as extreme as animals plus organs was obviously rejected, and it Rumors suggest there is so much inventory that it could fill Tokyo Bay.

Kampfer – Volume 2

And, for some reason, that Harakiritora was talking.

—Have you woken up?

—How noisy, yes, I woke up.

I rubbed my eyes. Ah, I’m so sleepy.

Harakiritora’s mouth was wide open. The more he looked at it, the more it looked like a plush toy, and he couldImagine that it had vocal cords or speakers. Of course, there was a reason why it spoke, but the The explanation would come later.

Being woken up by a stuffed animal early in the morning is like a nightmare. If someone else sees you That way, they’ll think you’re crazy. There’s an alarm clock, so you should get yourself under control.

—The alarm clock, Natsuru-san broke it.

At my feet, a digital alarm clock was rolling. The LCD screen had a crack.

—Even though it made a sound, you shouted, “How noisy!” and banged it against the wall. If it hadn’t woken yslept all day.

Now that you mention it, I feel like I let something slip. In my dream, I became an American soldier. fighting on the Normandy coast, throwing grenades at German positions. Although we captured The position, the alarm clock was sacrificed.

—The clock did its job. What a shame.

Well, that’s true. I’ll carefully throw it in the trash later. Non-burnable waste day is… every Thursday.

-What time is it?

—It’s approximately twelve o’clock.

Ooh! I slept quite a bit.

—Why did you wake me up?

—That’s right. There’s a visitor.

-That?

Kampfer – Volume 2

If I listen carefully, someone is knocking on the front door.

—It’s been banging for a while now.

—Isn’t he a salesman? Leave him alone, he’ll go away if you ignore him.

I have no interest in insurance, newspapers, or fiber optic cables. But when it comes to my mother, She invites the vendors, explains how wonderful her religion is, and tries to convert them in some way. way. Although my mother is a staunch atheist, she has accumulated an astonishing amount of knowledge. on the subject of repelling vendors.

The sound of the knocking was soft. They didn’t call out “Senou-san” or anything like that. They must be very s

—They really don’t give up, do they?

—It seems they have an important reason. By the way, don’t they have a doorbell at this house? —It’s completely broken.

I went downstairs in my pajamas.

The knocking continued. It grew softer and softer as we listened.

—I’m coming, I’m coming. I’m going to open it.

I removed the key and turned the knob.

—Sorry for the-… Kyah!

Standing in the doorway was a girl named Mishima Akane. She attends the same Seitetsu Academy. She’s a sophomore in high school. She wears glasses and always looks down, giving a I gave an impression of shyness. We met because of a certain incident. I’ll tell you more about that later. —Eer… that… Natsuru-san…

Akane was nervous. Maybe because I’m in my pajamas and one button is undone.

I opened the buttons randomly and fastened them.

—What’s wrong, Akane-chan?

—U-… Uhm… actually… I went to school for work…

Kampfer – Volume 2

—Wow, thanks for the effort.

Akane is a member of the library committee. She seems to be very serious at heart, as even at the end of She goes out every week and works in the school library. It seems that our brain structure is fundamentally different, since I usually arrive late whenever I can and avoid cleaning. —By the way… when I got back… I bought some sweets. If you’d like, Natsuru-san, maybe… I’m sorry… Why is he apologizing?

Whether it’s due to her personality or not, Akane has little ability to assert herself. She always gives way to othothers, and she can’t even say “I want this” when she’s shopping. But why would a girl like that bring me Sweets? That’s a mystery too.

She’s carrying a plastic bag from a bakery. It doesn’t look like snacks from a convenience store. -Thank you so much.

I held out my hand, but Akane remained in the same position. She wouldn’t pass me the object. Why? After hesitating for a while,

—…That… I think it would be better if you ate it while drinking tea…

—Aah.

I thought for a moment. Since I don’t drink coffee, I only have black tea or Japanese green tea. Now then, will IPurchased reservations?

—Are you coming in?

-Hey…?

—If you come in. You brought some sweets, right?

—Ah… yes.

Akane gave a slight smile and took off her shoes.

After guiding her to the room, she changed into comfortable clothes and checked the kitchen shelves. It seemsShe had run out of black tea; there was absolutely none. She only found green tea bags. Looking at the Kampfer – Volume 2

On the back of the package, she saw that they had expired last month. Oh well, never mind, they probably didHe will die for that.

I casually prepared some tea and took it to the second floor.

Akane was sitting correctly on a cushion, in seiza position.

-Thank you…

The cake box was open. Inside were cream cakes. They look delicious, though I can’t tell the difference. Whether they’re good or not. They’re definitely something good.

I took one.

—It must be tough being the librarian until Sunday.

—It’s not that difficult.

Akane slowly nibbled on the profiterole.

—This time at the library, we’ll buy new books. Last time we damaged the whole bookshelf, so that we need to replace.

—Hee…

I took a sip of tea. Hmm, the flavor hasn’t changed. Japanese technology is truly impressive. With So, I think I’ll be fine for another year.

—I’m in charge of buying the books. I’ll buy the books selected by the library committee. —You seem happy.

—Yes, I love books.

Akane was smiling. People who love books always light up when they talk about them. Books. When they go to the library or the bookstore, they seem to be rooted to the ground and don’t move an iNo matter what happens. It’s a world of difference compared to me, who gets a headache when I read.

anything that isn’t manga.

—So, do you have something to do?

—Yes… huh?

Kampfer – Volume 2

—You had something to do, that’s why you came to my house, right?

—Yes… well… it’s just that…

She seems a little dissatisfied. Could it be because we just finished talking about books? She looked down and muttered something under her breath. Is she saying, “Can’t I come if I don’t have sometto do…?”?

-Ha ha ha.

Harakiritora burst out laughing.

—Akane-san, you shouldn’t expect much from Natsuru-san. Clumsiness is his trademark. Although he acts tough, he speaks with great insolence. Who decided I’m clumsy? At school, I’m

Intelligent. With a keen sense for exams, I predicted one hundred questions and got seventy percent right. They even call him “Natsuru, the fortune teller.”

Akane blushed and lowered her head.

—I think it’s pointless to tell him clearly.

—…

—He doesn’t realize anything he’s doing. Hahaha.

Harakiritora continues laughing as usual, while Akane remains silent. I don’t quite understand what’s going on. But it’s not because I’m clumsy. Probably.

He spent some time simply eating cream cakes.

—Ah…

Akane raised her head.

—Now that I think about it, there’s something I wanted to ask you, Natsuru-san.

—Huh? What is it?

I have no personal secrets. Of course, there are things I prefer to keep hidden from the general public. like exam scores or where I hide erotic magazines. I keep the magazines

Kampfer – Volume 2

erotic thoughts behind the colored boxes, but that’s something any high school student would do. Apart I have no important secrets about that.

Well, maybe one.

—Has anything strange happened?

—About what?

—About your transformation…

Kampfer – Volume 2

Just as I was about to ask “Why?”, suddenly…

My right arm began to glow.

More precisely, the bracelet she wore on her right wrist began to emit light. It flashed with a light bluish and gradually became more intense, enveloping my entire body.

—What?!

Before I could say anything, I was completely bathed in light, from head to toe. When the light finally faded, I realized that I had transformed.

-That-…?

I quickly looked at my body. My waist had become slimmer and my legs were thinner, while in my Two large protrusions hung from her chest. She had completely transformed into a girl. -Because!?

Harakiritora looked astonished.

—Why do you say that…? That’s because you’re a Kämpfer.

—I know. But I shouldn’t be transformed now!

Perhaps I need to explain it.

Kämpfer means “warrior.” Literally, it’s an entity for fighting. One day, I was told that I had I became a Kämpfer thanks to this talking plush toy. My surprise at that moment was inconceivable, but Now I prefer not to remember the past.

The enemies of the Kämpfer are, after all, other Kämpfer, and I’ve had several battles. That’s fine. But every time I fight, I always transform into a woman. It seems the Kämpfer must be necessarily women. It’s a somewhat confusing explanation with so many Kämpfers involved. Actually, Akane is also a Kämpfer. He’s about six months older than me. He wears a bracelet that emits A bluish light, just like me. This is both a symbol of an ally and a sign that enemies are near. marked in red.

I felt nervous becoming a woman. Fortunately, my clothes are still the same, but there are others. reasons.

Kampfer – Volume 2

—Is there an enemy here?

—I don’t think there are any…

Akane was strangely calm.

—So why have I transformed?

Kämpfer, when other Kämpfer are nearby, are compelled to transform. In other words, they must there are enemies nearby.

—If there are no enemies, there shouldn’t be any transformation, right?

Even if there are allies, the transformation happens.

—So why has the change occurred?

Akane explained slowly.

—Eer… When you first become a Kämpfer, you can’t transform at will. Did you know that?

TRUE?

—Well, yes.

I’ll leave out the details, but thanks to that I got through a pretty tight spot.

—But with experience, you can transform yourself of your own volition. That’s how I am too. -Yeah.

—Well, you see, just before it can transform itself, it becomes unstable.

—Huh? What do you mean?

—Whether there are enemies around or not, you transform automatically without meaning to. It happened to mthat’s why.

—Huh…? Regardless of my will?

-Yeah.

-Automatically?

-Yeah.

Kampfer – Volume 2

I felt dizzy. Now I understand why I became a Kämpfer without any enemies or allies. So there is no other option.

However, I can’t take it easy. There’s a risk of becoming a woman in the classroom or in Anywhere. Imagine turning into a woman during a class. I’d be lucky if it could be resolved with just to cause a commotion. They would usually call the police, a doctor, or even the zoo. —But without accumulating experience, I can’t transform myself into a Kämpfer of my own volition, can I? No Am I moving too fast?

—I was surprised too. Maybe Natsuru-san is something special…

He seems to have been declared peculiar. If that means I’m “a little different and interesting,” I would be happy, but being treated like an eccentric here only increases my concerns. —What should I do now?

Without meaning to, a complaint slips out.

—Perhaps, with time, you will be able to transform yourself freely…

-Maybe?

-Yeah…

Isn’t it safe? Well, there’s nothing I can do about it.

Since becoming a Kämpfer, although I haven’t participated much in combat, my concerns have It’s increased considerably. It’s like some kind of compound interest. It’s really like a A bank with steep interest rates. Is it like an illegal lender?

There’s no other option. I’ll pray at school that I don’t transform, and at home I’ll cover myself with the blanket. Ithat time will sort things out.

—Akane-chan doesn’t transform, right?

—Yes, now I can control myself.

After Akane transforms, she’s much fiercer than I am. She becomes as rude as a drill sergeant. marines and fires her weapon without a care in the world. In my mind, I call her “the ferocious woman.”

-But…

Kampfer – Volume 2

Akane said in a low voice.

—Natsuru-san, you’re beautiful…

—Well, maybe…

Although it might sound pretentious, after my transformation I’m quite a beautiful girl. The first time I I saw myself like that, I couldn’t believe it.

—You seem a little frustrated…

She puffed out her cheeks. Hmm, I don’t understand women’s feelings.

Even so, when she makes those kinds of gestures, Akane is adorable. She’s usually an example of modesty, although she does not appear in the “Seitetsu Academy Beauty Guide” published by the undergrounfrom our school’s Beauty Research program, is quite charming. As an added bonus, the

The president of the Beauty Research Club is a boy named Higashida, who is in the same class. that I.

As time passed, Akane’s cheeks returned to normal.

—… It’s time for me to go.

She carefully arranged the open box of cream cakes.

—Ah, I just remembered.

As she was about to get off, Akane turned around.

—I heard at school that it seems a transfer student will be arriving tomorrow.

—A transfer? To the women’s section?

-Yeah.

I responded with a “Hee.” Although I transform into a woman, technically I belong to the male section. At Seitetsu Academy, the male and female sections are strictly separated, and the lines The dividing lines on campus are more strictly guarded than the border between East and West Germany.

In the midst of the Cold War. Anything that happens in the women’s section is beyond the Iron Curtain. —They say she’s a freshman. It seems she’s not actually a transfer student…

Kampfer – Volume 2

—What does that mean?

-I have no idea…

—I see. Say hello to her for me.

I responded casually. Unlike Higashida, who is busy tracking the movements of the Girls, this doesn’t really interest me. I’ll ask her about it in a casual conversation later. (While thinking) At that point, I said goodbye to Akane.

Sooner or later, I’ll realize how naive I was.

No matter how much you laze around on Sundays, Monday always comes. I wish they’d at least extend it a littl

The weekend, but that’s not how the world works. Really, what are the politicians doing? Without relying on the broken alarm clock, I got out of bed with surprising willpower (although (I’ll say it myself), I washed my face. It’s funny how this clears my mind just by doing it. It must be because of ta long-established custom, a kind of conditioning.

I changed into my school uniform and while I was having yogurt for breakfast, someone knocked on the front dFor a moment I thought it was Akane again. However, the tapping was too harsh.

On Sundays, knocks on the door are usually discreet, but this one sounded like a construction excavator. On the road. Who the hell could it be?

Who, who, who, who? I hurriedly opened the front door, which was rattling like talking drums. of the African tribes.

—Yes, yes! Who is it?

—Good morning, Natsuru!

There she was, a high school girl with a short, dazzling haircut.

Kampfer – Volume 2

A cheerful tone of voice and a kind demeanor. Bright eyes that could have come straight out of a manga. An active attitude that seems to know no sadness.

I stared at her. Hmm, do I know a girl as pretty as her?

—Let’s go to school together.

She was wearing the Seitetsu Academy uniform. Hmm, that certainly confirms we’re going to the same school. school. But why me of all people?

The girl placed both hands on her waist. She looked a little swollen.

—It’s me, it’s me.

—…

—What’s with that face? Did you forget your childhood friend is back?

—…Ah!

I jumped up.

—Kondou!

-Correct.

Kondou Chikato smiled mischievously.

This girl is a long-time acquaintance. She’s a year younger than me, and we’ve known each other since kinderas children. Apparently, in the world they are called childhood friends, but I’ve never thought of it that way. After all, my parents are academics and constantly travel the world, and she follows me everywhere. parts for that reason.

Normally, when parents move around a lot, I think children tend to stay in the same place. However, in Kondou’s case, she found it interesting to follow them. I remember that in third grade of After being absent for three months, the elementary school teacher returned with a snake in his hand. It was a a five-meter-long boa constrictor, which caused great panic throughout the class. Furthermore, the teacher enhospitalized for shock, and Kondou was summoned to the principal’s office for releasing a spider the size from the palm of his hand, which caused both the director and the assistant director to faint. It seems that also

The Board of Education was informed.

Kampfer – Volume 2

Like me, he enrolled at Seitetsu Academy, but he barely attended classes, took a leave of absence, and left. immediate direction towards the Middle East. I believe he mentioned something about an investigation into the—… When did you return?

-The day before yesterday.

Kondou smiled broadly.

—It seems we’re close to completing the excavation, so I came early.

—You’re still the same as always. You should have gone back to your uncle and aunt. —I’m not a baby! Besides, Natsuru, you live alone, right?

—Well, yes.

My parents moved far away due to a job transfer. Because of that, I was forced to carry a

independent living and with a poor diet.

—So, shall we go to school together?

—Wait, to school?

—Yes. This time, Kondou Mikoto has rejoined Seitetsu Academy.

He gave a military salute or something like that.

Ah, so the new student Akane was talking about, she’s referring to this girl? Certainly not. It should be possible to tell if it’s been transferred or not. Kondou dragged me along by force. She and I ended up going to school together. When was the last time we did something like that? Now Thinking about it, we used to hang out together quite often in high school. Although it was always complicated. Because Kondou was always causing trouble. I remember once he effortlessly destroyed a wasps’ nest. that we encountered along the way. We were chased by angry wasps and ran to the school to escape. But does that really fall under the category of “going to school together in peace”?

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that Kondou seemed about to start humming a song. —You’re in a good mood, huh?

—Of course, it’s the first time in a long time that I’ve been in Japan!

Kampfer – Volume 2

—Is that so?

—Yes, that’s right. Even Natsuru was surprised when she saw me transformed into a beauty. What is this girl saying?

But it’s true that she’s become more beautiful. Although she’s still pretty, she’s gained a lot more appeal since before going to the Middle East. It’s truly surprising to talk about attractiveness in a high school student. —Natsuru, what did you do while I wasn’t here?

All I could say are things I can’t talk about.

—… Nothing special.

—Hmm.

Kondou stares at me.

—Nothing special, you say?

-That’s how it is.

—Have you gotten a girlfriend?

—Wh-!?

Even though I had nothing in my mouth, I choked. I couldn’t stop coughing. I thought I was going to vomit stom”There’s no way that’s possible! What the hell do you think I am?”

—Don’t praise yourself in a strange way. That’s why you’re not successful with girls. —Even if I were successful, I wouldn’t tell you.

—What happened to that pretty girl from Seitetsu? It was Sakura-san, wasn’t it?

—Don’t talk nonsense. She’s out of my league.

—Like Mount Fuji?

—More like Mount Everest.

Although I said that, my relationship with Kaede Sakura has progressed quite a bit. In fact, you could say we’re

We’re getting closer quickly. After all, Sakura-san is in love with me.

Kampfer – Volume 2

The normal thing would be to feel euphoric at this point. The future after graduation looks so promising that One could envision a joyful life. However, I had reasons that prevented me from truly being happy. It turns out Sakura-san is in love with me, the female version.

In other words, it seems Sakura-san likes who I am now as Kämpfer. In society, one would say… Homosexuality or lesbian relationships, but it seems Sakura-san doesn’t care about that. Of course, that makeIt causes problems; the world really isn’t easy, is it? I skillfully dodged Sakurasan’s request to go out together, many worries.

—Why don’t you try attacking?

—I’ll just end up getting defeated. It’s pointless.

That’s if we’re talking about men, with that added condition.

—Attractive men are more popular, you know?

—I’m afraid of getting hurt. Try to understand my heart, which is more delicate than glass. Kondou is rather blunt, or rather, quite direct. She tends to resolve concerns immediately. of others. Since love problems are said to be complicated, she’s not at all the type of person. suitable for confidences. On the other hand, although she may fight, she doesn’t hold a grudge afterward, whicideal as a friend.

“Why do you say such boring things? You just sound weak. It has nothing to do with being fragile, right?” Damn it. How dare you call me weak? Look how I became a fighter… even if it’s just for a little while. changing into a woman. Although Kondou was amazed, she also laughed.

—So Natsuru doesn’t have a girlfriend. Well, well.

—There’s nothing good about that.

—If you feel lonely, I will comfort you.

—But you’re younger than me!

Being comforted by a girl a year younger would be very embarrassing. I’ll ignore whether I originally had any…

dignity.

Kampfer – Volume 2

—It doesn’t matter that he’s younger. We’re childhood friends.

—You can’t say we’re childhood friends if you’re jumping from one country to another and we barely see each —Okay. We’re childhood friends.

Kondou walked briskly. She really does have a lot of energy.

(…Huh?)

I turned around to look behind me.

-What’s happening?

-Nothing…

Hmm, I felt like someone was there. Was it just my imagination? Thinking like that, just when I convinced myseLikewise, the bracelet on my right arm began to glow.

—Oh no!

I hastily hid it in the hem of my sleeve. Kondou hadn’t noticed yet. This is the sign prior to the transformation. It transforms when it so desires or when another Kämpfer is nearby. As it As mentioned before, due to my somewhat limited experience, it could sometimes glow randomly. Clearly, this is not the time for careless explanations. I cannot afford to become a A woman in a place like this. Kondou considers me a pervert. Even though I’ve been insulted with words. I hate being called a pervert.

—…What’s wrong, Natsuru?

—I-It’s nothing…

Gradually, the pale light became so obvious that I couldn’t hide it. Oh no, this is serious. But the next moment…

As the tide receded, the glow of the bracelet subsided.

I looked on in fear, but nothing changed. Of course, I was still a man.

I took a deep breath.

Kampfer – Volume 2

—What’s wrong? Sighing like that, you’re strange.

Am I not a pervert, just weird? Well, that’s fine.

I’ll be near the school gate soon. I waved slightly.

-See you.

—Oh, are you leaving already?

She’s expressing her discontent. It’s not like we’re children, can we be together forever? —The door to the women’s section is over there.

Seitetsu Academy is strict regarding relationships between men and women. I already mentioned that They are separated into female and male sections, but even the school gates are different. Furthermore, around the school there are teaching staff who loiter like the Gestapo (Nazi secret police),

ready to immediately take into custody any suspicious man or woman they see. Furthermore, I am I’m tired of what happened earlier, and I’ve even exhausted the energy I had to talk to this girl. —If you don’t want to get caught, go fast.

—Mmm… then, let’s eat lunch together.

—Idiot. If they find us, they’ll surely shoot us.

—So, shall we go home together?

—I don’t think it’s possible.

—Let’s go home!

-… Alright.

I answered carelessly. It’s obviously impossible. Supervision is stricter after school.

than the one at the school entrance. Furthermore, since informing is encouraged, students without a boyfriend They watch each other. It’s terrifying how the resentments of those who are unsuccessful in love… They manifest themselves in this way. I, too, was determined to denounce anyone who approached Sakura-safeeling as if I were living in a totalitarian state.

Kondou waved goodbye. I waved back. It’s a relief this noisy morning is finally over. Bye bye.

Kampfer – Volume 2

After confirming that Kondou was gone, I looked at the bracelet. Nothing had changed yet. What the hell? What happened? Was there an enemy, or was it just random? Why didn’t I transform? Well, never mind. Worrying only causes baldness. With the amount of accumulated anxiety comparable to The national debt, I’ll probably end up bald in the future, but I want to postpone it as long as possible. possible.

With a slight feeling of relief, I headed towards the door of the men’s section.

■

The classes are really boring. Some people say they’re interesting, and I think that’s why I came here. After passing the entrance exams, I should enjoy them so as not to lose them, but thinking like that doesn’t cha

Nothing. Because things like the symbols for chemical elements, don’t you feel like they’re meaningless until… Do you memorize them?

Although I can’t follow the class completely, if I memorize the bare minimum, I can manage it. Somehow. I’m impressed by how they’ve thought about how to prevent someone like me from falling behind in appearance. Well, I suppose the bureaucrats at the Ministry of Education aren’t stupid. So while I’m trying to memorize what might appear on the exam, it’s time for a break. Normally, I’d go to the bathroom or waste time in pointless chatter, but in this 2-4 course there’s always a wretch who comes to talk to me.

—Hey, Senou.

A thin face that looks like it came from a cartoon. That’s Higashida. As I mentioned before, he’s the president. from the unofficial clandestine club “Beauty Research Club”, and he never stops collecting material on girls. As president, he should be busy with something more productive, but for some absurd reason, he always is. He wants to talk to me. Does he like me or something? He’s quite unpleasant.

—What are you saying? I’m not going to buy stolen photos.

—Don’t say that. I’m having a huge hit with clandestine photos of freshmen. I’ve already sold fifty! What Does one seem right to you?

Kampfer – Volume 2

I don’t need it.

There are no mistakes in the photos this guy sells. They’re in focus and the faces are perfect. But not the I want it, so that’s fine. What I want is Sakura-san.

Higashida put his arm around my neck.

—Hey. It seems Kondou-chan is back.

—How do you know?

—Because I regularly bribe teaching staff. I get information. I was planning to photograph her, But she temporarily retired, so I’ve been following her.

Doing things like the Italian mafia despite being just a high school student.

—He might go abroad soon, you know?

“That’s not going to happen. She came back, leaving her parents behind. I don’t think she’ll decide to go anywh—You’re only sharp on this kind of thing.

—Next time, take photos of Kondou-chan.

—I already told you. I refuse. Ask him yourself.

—If it’s a request from Natsuru, I’ll consider it.

No, that’s not going to happen. If she finds out I’m doing business with her own photos, she won’t hesitate to sPunches, kicks, or both. It won’t stop just because we’ve been friends for a long time. The thing about Childhood friends are just words… I think.

—Besides, I asked you for something, didn’t I?

What do you mean by “besides”? You haven’t asked me for anything.

—About what?

—It’s the secret passage that leads to the women’s section.

—Ah, that.

Kampfer – Volume 2

Recently, I was forced to go to the women’s section, so I asked for their help. They guided me to “The Club” “Clandestine Club for Normal Relationships Between Boys and Girls,” which is also a clandestine club. Of courI paid a reward. With Akane’s body. Oh, when I say body, I mean still photographs.

—That’s over now, right?

—Yes, but after that it was terrible. The student council intervened and they filled the tunnel. It seems that the The president himself was supervising.

—Oooh! What a shame.

Do I have any responsibility? Although I feel I don’t, perhaps I do. I might actually have one. But If they ask me to take it on, I’ll be in a difficult position.”

Higashida shrugged.

—There’s no other option. We still have another route. We’ll make sure to hide that one properly. —Oooh, as expected of Higashida.

I was genuinely impressed. This guy has courage and is quite competent at this stuff. He’s really… Impressive. This talent will certainly not be useful in the future.

“I can’t reveal the secret route to the women’s section at the moment. It’s impossible, even if you ask me.” —But there was a legal method. Someone who forged access passes.

—That was discovered two weeks ago. Now they have holograms, and when exposed to ultraviolet light, the The letters shine. It can’t be counterfeited.

There are also legal means to cross between men’s and women’s areas, such as belonging to several committees or obtain an issued access pass. There was a time when the falsification of these documents It became very popular, which rendered security checks ineffective and led the school to reinforce the restrictions.

Higashida shrugged.

—That’s right. Even if you want to go to the women’s section for a while, stay calm and don’t. -I understand.

Kampfer – Volume 2

I nodded. I don’t think anything unexpected will come up that will require me to go to the women’s section. It’s fistay calm for a while.

—I’m sorry. But why was that route leaked to the president? Even though there are informants within the counstudents who warn us…

No, in the end it was my fault. I’m so sorry.

In my mind, I prayed for Higashida and left the classroom. The reason? The bathroom. The men’s restroom is at the end of the hall. For some reason, the lighting in this area is poor. During the day. Perhaps because of the time of day, there are no other people around. It’s been a while since tRumors circulated about the possibility of ghosts appearing, and the journalism club even did a report on it.

special about it. They even talk about the spirit of a female student who committed suicide. Incidentally, there seems to be a similar dark bathroom in the women’s section too, but they say they laugh absaying “surely there are no ghosts.” They’re tough.

I tried to open the swinging door. Then,

—U-Uhm…

They called me.

I turned around and saw a student standing in the corner of the hallway.

-That-…?

My heart was about to leap out of my chest. Thinking about ghosts is fine, but seeing one in the Reality is too much. It’s still daytime, daytime! Besides, I’m not in the bathroom.

—Natsuru-san.

The ghost looked at me and spoke. What the hell? It even knows my name.

—I’m glad to see you, Natsuru-san. I feel relieved.

-Hey?

It wasn’t a ghost. There was our idol, one of the two great beauties of Seitetsu Academy, Kaede. Sakura.

Kampfer – Volume 2

Previously, Sakura and I were involved in a certain incident. I thought the impact of that time still It could persist, but I was glad to see her so cheerful.

She looked at me with slightly moist eyes. She seemed a little nervous about being alone in the men’s section. radiating an indescribable beauty. More than Shizuku Sangou, the student council president, I without Doubt preferred Sakura.

—Sa-… Sakura-san. What’s wrong?

—I have something to talk to Natsuru-san about.

She looked nervously around her.

—I’m sorry, could we talk somewhere else…?

Although there are only men’s restrooms here.

Sakura-san surprisingly said, “This is fine.”

We went into the bathroom. I was filled with a feeling of apology. They say there are cranes in the trash, but heas if she’d found a diamond in industrial waste. Although Sakura-san didn’t seem worried, perhaps Does he have nerves of steel?

—Uhm, Sakura-san, why are you here?

—I insisted and they gave me a permit pass.

He was wearing a case around his neck.

—Actually, I shouldn’t stay here so long. But there was something I really wanted to know… When you’re an exemplary student like Sakura-san, the permit review becomes relatively easy. lenient. Of course, this is based on your usual behavior, so if you violate the allowed time, They could suspend the broadcast in the future. Even so, even risking that danger, I wanted to stay. in the men’s section.

—Natsuru-san…

Sakura-san looked at me as if she were clinging to me.

-Yeah…?

Kampfer – Volume 2

—That person, you know her, right? The woman with the same name as Natsuru-san. -Hey…?

More than an answer, it felt as if the air had escaped from my mouth.

What Sakura-san called “female Natsuru” was, of course, me. Specifically, me transformed into Kämpfer. As I mentioned before, Sakura-san is in love with me in my female form. —I’m looking for that person, but they’re nowhere to be found.

—…

—She was wearing the uniform of the female section, so she should definitely be at Seitetsu Academy.

But nobody in second year knows anything…

Of course they wouldn’t know. I don’t have two bodies. I’m normally a boy, and I’ve never taken classes. in the girls’ section. When I see Sakura-san so worried, I want to do something for her, but this is simply impossible.

—Natsuru-san…

-… Yeah?

—Could you allow me to see that woman one more time?

It was a painful plea. If the place were suitable, one might even hear a piece of background music. But unfortunately, here we are in the men’s restroom.

-Hey…

-Please.

She bowed her head.

In a way, it’s possible but difficult. Simply put, if I were to become a woman, that alone would be enough. to meet up. However, Sakura-san will definitely say, “Please go out with me.” In fact, I already know.

He confessed that earlier, and my head was in complete chaos. At that moment, I was able to avoid it becauseagainst an enemy, but this time he will want to hear my answer.

—Uhm… t-difficult, perhaps?

Kampfer – Volume 2

I barely managed to answer. I could feel the corners of my lips tightening.

—It’s just that she’s, well, busy.

—Are you working?

—Hmm… how to put it?, it’s popular.

Sakura-san’s eyes opened wide. I wanted to open mine too.

—Have other people confessed their love to her!?

—Well, you know, she’s beautiful. So, just walking down the street, people ask her out or want to hug her, and they took the bait.

—Even from women…?

—Of all ages and genders, regardless of sex.

As I was explaining this, I started to feel pathetic. The truth is, I have no connection to Love confessions from people of the opposite sex. I wish that one day a reversal would happen. Of course, I don’t have relationships with people of the same sex either, but that’s okay. Then, just as I was about to say “another time,” Sakura-san’s eyes sparkled intensely.

—Then please introduce me to her soon!

—Huh-…Huh?

—I don’t want anyone else interfering. Please, Natsuru-san, let me meet Natsuru-san! Natsuru makes Natsuru look at her. It’s like a comedy scene. But it’s not the time to be so relaxed. Sakura-san was serious. She has tremendous willpower. I like this side of her too, but Now I’m a little scared.

-Please!

—Ugh…

—I don’t want to cause Natsuru-san any trouble.

Kampfer – Volume 2

Annoyances and all that, huh? I really want to refuse, but if I do it here, what will happen to Sakura-san? She will probably feel discouraged and depressed. Only the male Natsuru has contact with the female Natsuru.It’s feminine, so if I lose that way of communicating, maybe I’ll never see her again. After all, Sakura-san is willing to go to the men’s restroom for this. If I lose my aggression, I’ll probably He won’t even look at me.

—I-I understand…

I answered with my eyes closed.

—Somehow, I’ll make contact so they can meet.

-Thank you!

Sakura-san’s face lit up instantly.

—Friends are true treasures, aren’t they? Natsuru-san, you really are trustworthy. Well, thank you. Although personally, I wouldn’t trust someone who gets so worked up about things like this. She thanked me several times. I nodded mechanically and left the men’s restroom. Ding-dong. The bell rang for the start of class, and Sakura-san hurried back. I always think about it, But doesn’t the bell ring like the “start of work” signal in a prison? I’ve never been to a place like that, but I’m sure it looks similar.

Anyway, it’s suitable for my mood.

Kampfer – Volume 2

■

I rested. I quickly finished my lunch. I ate bread. At first, when I lived alone, I thought, “I’m going to “I wanted to impress you by making my own food,” but by the second day I’d become someone who only eats It’s been like that until today. Students are like that. Besides, who was I trying to impress in the first place? I threw an empty plastic bag into the trash can and headed towards the library.

The Seitetsu Academy library is co-ed, which is unusual for a school that typically separates boys and girls. Boys and girls everywhere. Apparently, there were protests along the lines of “buying the same book twice isn'”economical”, but it would be better to unify the entire campus if that’s the case.

The library occupies the first through third floors of a separate building. I approached the desk. of loans.

I raised my hand slightly towards the female student I had in mind.

—…Natsuru-san.

Akane smiled and lowered her head as she left the counter.

—Are you going to borrow a book?

—If it’s manga, yes.

Word-heavy books are impossible for me. I can understand textbooks, but not those full of… The letters are cramped. Where am I supposed to start reading those? From the beginning? —We don’t have a sleeve.

Her tone sounded as if she were amazed. I get it. This girl has no sense of humor for this. type of jokes.

—Do you have any other business?

—Yes. Just a little…

I signaled for us to go to a corner. The library is a kind of free zone, where almost everything is… accessible to boys and girls. To prevent things from getting out of hand, the school has installed shelving. Kampfer – Volume 2

and tables arranged so that there are no dark corners, but the students have found ingenious ways to

to create places for secret meetings. The place where Akane and I moved is also one of those places. I told him what happened on the way to school. Of course, I mentioned how I almost… I suddenly transformed and stopped halfway through. I didn’t mention anything about Kondou. Akane bowed her head.

—Do you understand the reason?

—No… If you felt a strange presence, don’t you think it could have been an enemy…? -But…?

—I think you returned to normal thanks to Natsuru-san’s power. Actually, it wouldn’t be surprising if you you became a Kämpfer…

I see, I understand that reasoning. Originally, you were supposed to transform, after all. —So, does that mean I can now transform myself or not according to my free will? —Well, that… could just be a coincidence. When I get back, I’ll ask Sepkurousagi-san… “Sepkukurousagi” is a visceral animal plushie that Akane owns. It also talks. And it’s a rabbit, because

Of course. Not only that, it has the same strong language as Harakiritora.

—It would be better to be able to transform freely instead of randomly, wouldn’t it?

-Yeah…

—I also want to meet up with Sakura-san during the break.

-Again…?

I gave her a brief explanation. Akane’s expression changed when she heard that someone had come to the seHe’s male just to look at me, but could he have some kind of digestive problem?

—It seems she hasn’t given up on me yet, even though I’m a girl. She asked me to do her the favor of finding hWhat should she do?

—I don’t know… There doesn’t seem to be much you can do…

—So, are there any good ideas?

Kampfer – Volume 2

—…

Akane doesn’t seem very interested.

—If there were any way to avoid disappointing Sakura-san…

-Don’t know…

Her tone was cold. Hmm, I’ve been thinking that Akane might not like Sakura-san for a while now, but now I’m sure of it. Eventually, I’ll have to find a way for them to reconcile.

After that, no matter how many times I tried to talk to her, Akane acted as if she knew nothing. Hmm, are you suggesting I should figure this out on my own? This is a problem. I’m stumped. no solution.

While I was thinking about whether there was some masterstroke that could save the situation, I felt a shock inback.

—Natsuru!

Someone was hugging me.

—Whoa!?

—Don’t be like that, why are you scared? It’s me, it’s me.

A short-haired girl with a bright smile. It was Kondou. The Kondou girl. She’s clinging to my neck. Hey, let go of me. I’m not a coat rack, you know. In my grandparents’ generation, this would have been called clothes.

—What are you doing? Get off me!

—Why are you so ashamed? You’re so stupid.

You’re the fool here. Don’t you understand what would happen if the teachers found us? I’m sure you do. In facEven if they are not teachers now, Akane will have seen us.

Akane was surprised, her eyes wide, clearly disgusted. Understandably so. If the

If the positions were reversed, I would be the same.

On the other hand, Kondou doesn’t seem to have the slightest shame or shyness in our communication. CouldDoes mercury run through their veins instead of blood?

Kampfer – Volume 2

Anyway, her clinging to me like that is too much. And surprisingly, she has a nice bust size, I guess. which makes it even more unbearable.

—What’s wrong, are you excited by people looking at you?

—I told you to move aside!

—You’re saying that, but you’re actually happy, aren’t you?

—I’m not happy.

—You don’t have to force yourself… ara.

It seems Akane has noticed. How about that? You also get uncomfortable when people see you. Feel free to embarrassing you… wait, why am I acting so pathetic?

Kondou let go of my hand and tapped it.

—Akane-chan!

—… Kondou-san.

I was about to collapse from amazement.

—Wait a minute, do you two know each other?

—What’s wrong? We lived close to each other.

-Hey?

—In high school, we lived really close to each other. That’s why we’re friends, right? Akane nodded shyly while stuttering.

Speaking of which, Kondou’s house is frequently visited by people traveling abroad and is known for Constantly moving. And not for ordinary reasons. Her parents, both book collectors. Academics accumulate so many [items] that they run out of living space and are forced to move. Perhaps You might wonder why they don’t just sell some at a secondhand bookstore, but apparently that’s not the case. It doesn’t work for book lovers. When Kondou was in elementary school, it wasn’t so common. But since she started high school, it’s become more common. The area called “near Akane’s house” has turned into one of the many residences they have moved to like hermit crabs.

Kampfer – Volume 2

—So, Akane-chan and I have known each other for a long time, right?

-Yeah…

For some reason, Kondou is very proud. This girl has an uncanny ability to make friends, so It’s probably true that they’re friends. She doesn’t mind me treating her as an equal and calling her “-chan.” Akane; it must be some kind of personal charm.

Akane seems to be apologizing. Well, I don’t think she should feel guilty, but I feel like I’ve lost in a dice game.

—Natsuru also knew Akane-chan. Coincidence?

-That’s how it is.

—So, do coincidences really exist?

-Of course.

I can agree with that. Without a doubt, it was a coincidence. If it weren’t for the incident in

Kämpfer, both Akane and I would remain complete strangers forever.

Kondou wrapped his arms around my neck again. How suffocating.

Akane showed a barely perceptible expression of annoyance. Sometimes, she even makes these kinds of gestWhen Sakura-san isn’t involved. I thought she might be sick, but it’s probably just a cavity. I felt as if Kondou had smiled slightly.

—Akane-chan, do you really know Natsuru?

-Yeah…

—How did you meet?

—Uh… it was… by chance…

—Even if it’s by chance, there’s always a reason!

—…

Akane seemed a little puzzled.

Kampfer – Volume 2

—What do you mean… by that…?

—I’ve never heard of Natsuru having any other friends besides me.

This girl, despite being carefree, has sharp points. Is it a trait inherited from her academic parents? No. He needs to show his strength in unnecessary places.

Akane was so nervous it was clearly visible.

—W-… Well…

—Hm?

—He’s… He’s just a friend…

—So why did they become friends?

—Eer…

If he says we’re connected because we’re Kämpfer, I’ll feel good, but only I will feel satisfied, and Kondou He won’t accept it. First of all, is there anyone who can understand what “Kämpfer” suddenly means?

—No-… It’s nothing…

Akane got smaller. Hey, saying she’s nothing isn’t a reason to become friends. -It’s no big deal?

-Yeah…

—Hmm, I see. Well, that’s fine.

Is that okay? I feel like you made him say it’s nothing.

—So, look, in exchange for not asking, I have a favor to ask of you, Akane-chan. —What could it be…?

—Will you keep a secret?

—Uh… a secret…?

—Yes. Something confidential.

—I won’t divulge private matters…

Kampfer – Volume 2

She’s an admirable girl. If she were someone like Higashida, you couldn’t say anything because she has less That’s like showing a thief the blueprints of your house. Kondou lowered his voice.

—The truth is, I wanted to ask you for advice.

-That?

This is me.

—I told you I wanted to ask for your advice.

So even this girl needs advice? I thought she didn’t need painkillers or antacids. Although the High school students appear to be mentally and physically stable, but in reality, they are not. The world is full of suffering. It’s no wonder fortune tellers are so successful on television. However, it is It’s surprising that even she has worries. I thought that, given her personality, she wouldn’t have anything to woDon’t worry, but people aren’t always what they seem.

—What is the council about?

—I want Natsuru and Akane-chan to hear this.

—What kind is it…?

—Well… it’s about a friend of mine.

-Who is it?

—It’s about me!

Suddenly, a girl appeared and pounced on us.

—Yay, yay, we’re all in this together!

This girl with a strange energy is named Masumi Nishino. She is a member of the female section of the “Club “Clandestine Normal Relationships Between Boys and Girls,” from which I had already received help before. I tThat would have been the end, but it seems that wasn’t the case.

—Kondou, you have many acquaintances, right?

That’s what Masumi said, and I agree. I whispered to Kondou.

—Masumi-chan, right? You have acquaintances who cross paths with me.

Kampfer – Volume 2

—That’s fine. Masumi and I have been friends for a long time.

Upon closer inspection, both were wearing the same type of badge. It turns out they’re in the same class. —Ah, you’re the person I found in the tunnel the other day.

Masumi looked at me and lowered her head repeatedly, like a cricket.

—This is Senou Natsuru. He’s my childhood friend.

—Ah, are you Natsuru-san? I know a woman named Natsuru.

I know it too, but of course, I pretended not to.

—Hee, we have the same name.

-Yes that’s how it is.

—So this is the reason for the consultation.

Kondou approached with his face.

—Masumi met a woman named Natsuru at this school.

—She’s really cool.

—So I want to see her again, but I can’t find her anywhere.

—Why do you want to see her?

This is what Masumi replied.

—I want to interview her!

—But she’s nowhere to be found. She’s a mysterious student.

Hoo, I see you’re asking the same thing as Sakura-san. Female Natsuru is very popular, huh? I’ll keep playing dumb.

—So, he’s not a student at Seitetsu?

—No, not at all. I was just wearing the same uniform.

—He’s a second-year student.

Kampfer – Volume 2

Masumi responded. Mizukoto then spoke.

—I’ve searched every second-year classroom from end to end, but I couldn’t find the female version Nowhere from Natsuru. What do you think about this?

“There’s nothing to be done if he’s not there. Maybe he’s a ghost? You know, there are students in the men’s rfeminine…

—That’s unscientific. The female version of Natsuru actually exists.

A drop of sweat ran down my back, but I pretended not to care.

—What evidence do you have?

—It’s about me.

Kondou stated. I can’t laugh this off as nonsense. His sixth sense is truly sharp. There is a Legend has it that he guided an exploration team through the African jungle using only his intuition, without GPNaturally, like me, I have no choice but to make sure that his intuition is not directed towards me. —There’s no point in investigating if it’s not there.

—It was a superficial investigation. You know, excavations start from places where there’s nothing.

Even with weak leads, we believe in them.

When she says it, it sounds convincing.

—…Why are you interested in something like this?

—I’m thinking there might be something big behind this. Maybe there’s a hidden conspiracy behind it. From the female version of Natsuru. That could also be it.

Too sharp. It’s not exactly a conspiracy, but there are definitely hidden secrets. There are many things that cannot be disclosed.

—So, you know what?

He got very close to my face.

-No…

—Hmm. And Akane-chan?

Kampfer – Volume 2

-Hey…

Akane looked away, but it was obviously forced. This girl isn’t good at acting. She couldn’t play the part. poker not at all.

—No-… I don’t know.

His face tightened. In police procedural terms, he’s about to confess. Even without a bowl of meat. I would confess this if I were a pig.

—Don’t you know?

-Yeah…

—You don’t know. Then that’s okay.

Surprisingly, Kondou retreated without much resistance. She doesn’t seem to be the same “Kondou the Snake”Cascabel,” as they used to call her. I gave her that nickname when we were in elementary school. —So, cooperate, okay?

Kondou ordered Akane.

—… About what?

—Find the female version of Natsuru.

Kondou suddenly turned towards me.

—You too, Natsuru.

Do we have any answer other than an agreement? I feel like asking anyone.

■

After lunch, afternoon classes began. We had physical education and played softball. The team had a pretty bad pitcher and they got eight straight hits off us. I came in to replace him, without Concealing my identity. Displaying my natural lack of control, I managed the feat of ten walks. Kampfer – Volume 2

consecutive. Actually, I wanted to keep breaking records, but I stopped with the next batter. I ended up throwing a dead ball.

After PE comes modern language class. I’m exhausted from throwing and I’m

Incredibly tired. It seems I wasn’t the only one affected by the urge to sleep; more than half the class was. She was fast asleep. What? Don’t you understand? It means to fall into a deep sleep. Thanks to that, The class was extremely quiet, which in turn accelerated sleep even further.

As the final bell rang, I woke up. The teacher was leaving with a sense of despair. What a shame. Although our class doesn’t have bad intentions, we always end up distracting the Professor. Of course, I’m an accomplice too.

The return home after class also ended without incident, and now all that remains is to go home. Kampfer – Volume 2

Kampfer – Volume 2

—Senou, let’s go home.

I can tell who it is even without seeing their face. It’s Higashida.

—You again, huh?

—That’s not bad, there are several things I want to ask you.

What this guy wants to ask me is clear. Things about girls, things about girls, and more things about girls. Also, since he met Akane, who transformed earlier, he always asks, “What kind of “Is she a girl?” He likes that part of Akane’s sharp tongue.

—I have nothing to ask you.

—Okay. I offer new photos at affordable prices.

That’s why I don’t need them.

At that moment, there was a knock on the classroom door.

A knock? Who knocks on a classroom door when it’s not during class? It’s not not someone courteous, but someone who doesn’t know how to read the room. I tilted my head forward and saw a first-year student standing there with a serious expression. —Excuse me. Is Natsuru Senou here?

Behind me, Higashida murmured, “That’s the student council member.”

“It’s me,” I replied, raising my hand slightly.

—The president is calling you.

-Hey?

—Please accompany me to the student council room.

The student simply said that and turned to leave.

I was stunned. Higashida stabbed me.

—Hey, what did you do to get the president to call you?

I didn’t reply directly. I’m busy with several things, you know.

Kampfer – Volume 2

I decided not to go back home with Higashida. That’s fine. There aren’t many advantages to going back to him.Being called by the student council president is a problem.

Shizuku Sangou, known as the “Perfect Soldier” of Seitetsu Academy, is the undisputed leader among the students. Whether in studies or sports, she excels at everything she does, in addition to being extremely Beautiful. Obviously, she shouldn’t be interested in students like me, so it’s strange that she’s calling me. It might even hail, speaking of which.

But that’s for normal students. I have a complicated relationship with Shizuku.

I headed straight to the student council room. The council room is in the same building. than the library. There’s no gender segregation on the student council, so I go in here. By the way, it’s on the fourth floor.

In front of the student council room stood a high school student. She was short in stature, yet still… He still had the air of a high school student. He showed no reaction when he saw me. —Uhm…

I spoke to the short guard, but there was no response. Does he not intend to let me through? He didn’t even move his eyes.

The Seitetsu Academy student council is an organization dedicated to facilitating events and activities

student activities on campus. At least that’s what it says in the student agenda.

However, the more aware students don’t believe in such nonsense. The student council has evolved into a specialized organization that acts as the arms and legs of President Shizuku. Although the exact methods are unclear, since assuming the presidency, she has managed to reorganize internally, the organization in a short time. This fact is also documented in the “Hidden History” “of the Seitetsu Academy Vol. 3”, a publication of the illegal side club known as the Second Club of News.

The student council operates completely in alignment with the president’s interests. Members must They must obey absolutely, and in return, they are promised significant benefits. It is said to guarantee employin top-tier companies and absolute admission to desired universities, although it is not Kampfer – Volume 2

Confirmed. Currently, because Shizuku’s decisions are directly related to the

Students’ general interests are not met; no problems or threats are perceived from the school. Without However, it is implicitly understood that this organization would surprise even the secret police. The true nature of the student council has not yet been revealed. Only Shizuku knows. Higashida mentioned something like “we also have an informant within the student council,” but he’s not there. Of course, to what extent they are collaborating. Double or triple espionage is commonplace. Even this girl straining in front of the door probably only hears Shizuku’s orders, more Beyond that. It’s impressive how she handles things for someone who seems to be just a student of secondary.

Just as I was about to say that I was called in by the president, a voice came from the council chamber. student.

—Kuzuhara, let him in.

It was Shizuku’s voice. The girl opened the door without saying a word. I suppose Kuzuhara is her name. —I’m sorry for the inconvenience.

Shizuku and Akane were inside.

—Natsuru-san…

She said that, but she didn’t seem all that surprised. She’d probably been informed beforehand. —Welcome, Senou-kun. Would you like to take a seat?

I accepted her invitation and sat down. There was a tension in the air. Shizuku smiled slightly. —You have an intimidating face.

—It’s natural.

I didn’t smile. Shizuku is our enemy, a Kämpfer with a red armband. That’s why our The connection is not superficial.

To be clear, he’s incredibly strong. The last time we fought, I thought I was going to die. Although we won with It’s a little trick; I’m not sure I could do it again if asked.

—It’s difficult to talk to you.

Kampfer – Volume 2

—Then I’ll leave.

—That would be a problem. How about this?

For a moment, the student council president was enveloped in a white light.

The light dissipated. Shizuku’s body didn’t change. However, the inside of her hair should have turned Platinum blonde. She had become a Kämpfer.

Immediately afterward, both Akane and I were also enveloped in light. Akane transformed into a ferocious woman with a rabid dog’s gaze, while I changed into a feminine form. —Can we talk now, just the two of us?

—Don’t get too cocky, model student.

A gun appeared in Akane’s hands. She’s a Kämpfer who uses “firearms.” By the way, I I use “magic”.

—To transform ourselves here. I will interpret that we are here to kill each other. She pointed the gun barrel directly at Shizuku’s forehead. Her fingers were firmly on the

trigger.

—Lower the weapon.

-I don’t want to.

—I order you to.

A chain with a dagger at the end was wrapped around Akane’s wrist. It was Shizuku’s weapon, a “Sword.” With just a pull of the trigger, he would sever her wrist.

The barrel wasn’t moving. But the index finger had lost its tension.

—Okay. Let’s be friendly.

—You can’t call it friendly when you’re pointing guns at us.

—I have no intention of fighting today. You can rest easy.

—Don’t make me laugh.

Kampfer – Volume 2

Shizuku agreed with Akane. She is a beauty fresh. In other words, your tone of voice does

not change no matter what you say. Therefore, even if I were to lie, you wouldn’t

understand. Even if you have no intentions of fighting, it would display the teeth of a sudden.

-Insurance that I have kept my promise. Since then, I have not been in touch to Kaede.

-It’s easy to say after kidnap her. What would happen if Sakura-san is traumatizara?

-No longer remembers. With a little trick, you can do that I forget.

It may seem a magician or hypnotist, but if

this is Shizuku, you can probably do it truth.

Without guard down, I said:

– Do you call, and you just want to brag?

-Of course it is not so.

Shizuku sat back down in his chair.

-You see, there is a problem in the female section.

Both Akane as I raised our eyebrows simultaneously, full of questions.

What problem? With the amount of students that we have, it is natural that problems

arise, but I was surprised to hear from the lips of our perfect student council

president. She is the type that prepares problems and solutions at the same time.

-Kaede has been making a lot of noise lately.

– What Sakura-san?

-‘re looking for what type of girl you are interested in. High, quiet and attractive. Surely you know someone like this.

To know or not to know, is something that I just found directly from Sakura-san. Myself.

-It’s a great problem to be looking everywhere. Among the students of second year, is already a

small rumor. In addition, there is a girl of first year called Nishino that you are looking for. It is amazing,

it seems that yells at the top of our lungs in the classroom: “what is Not Natsuru-san here?”.

Kampfer – Volume 2

¡Ugh! Did not want to hear that. I can easily imagine Masumi

screaming. The students in the classroom should be happy. Shizuku continued,

-In addition, it seems that Kondou also you are looking for.

This girl is smart. First asked in the office of the staff.

After checking my facial expression, she said,

-Asked today. Has just returned to school and is already in action.

-… Then, is that what is the problem?

-Exactly. There is no student named Natsuru in the female section. But as you

are looking for Kaede, Nishino-san and Kondou-san, there has been a rumor. I do not

seem to be desirable. I don’t want the students normal to know about Kämpfer.

Well, I agree on that too.

-I have called to discuss what to do about it.

– What are we supposed to do?

-It is easy. Senou-kun, come to the women’s section.

Boom, Boom, Boom. In my mind, it was held the festival of fireworks in Sumida.

Or maybe it was like winning the grand prize in the pachinko. A massive explosion

of a tank of gas! This really surprises me more than anything else today.

How dare you tell me to go to the women’s section? Although it may seem incredible, I am

a boy. Now I am a girl, but in my civil registration’m still a guy. At least I take classes in

the male section. Do not think it’s appropriate to change to the female section. Are you crazy?

Shizuku seemed to understand my feelings and said,

-I am rope.

– Oh, yes?

-I’m not saying to give up to be a man. It is to be registered in both

the male as in the female, and to appear from time to time.

-I am even more confused. Why should you go to the women’s section?

Kampfer – Volume 2

-I told you before, isn’t it? Kaede, Nishino-san and the first-year student Kondou-san

are causing a fuss. If this continues, it could reveal something about Kämpfer somewhere.

– How a apagafuegos of rumors?

-Well, yes.

Shizuku nodded. In reality, I am in the female section to stop the actions of

Sakura-san and the others. I don’t want you to know about Kämpfer. But, is it enough

for me to move to the women’s section? Certainly, the rumors are annoying.

Even Higashida knows that I’m a girl and he is always trying to take

photos when you can. It would be nice to this asshole to learn a lesson, but it will

not be so easy with girls. Even so, treat me as a student female is extreme.

-I do not have any other intention. I’m going to ensure that Senou-kun can enter and

exit the” feminine without problems. How should issue an all-access pass also?

-It is like giving salt to the enemy.

-I like things more savory than sweet.

He had an expression completely quiet. What are you thinking? You and I are

enemies. It’s almost as if I was inviting you to jump in head-to-something.

While I was confused, my neighbor, the fierce woman like a rabid dog, he laughed out loud.

-¡Jajajajaja! What fun! Natsuru, go to the women’s section.

Although he laughs, not loose your gun.

-We go together to the class of third year and make an entry surprise. We’re going

to shoot to the head of the chair, which looks like a Hollywood actress fuck.

-… Women with a tongue so sharp are a problem.

-Unfortunately, I do not take well with students of honor.

-I’m talking with Senou-kun.

Kampfer – Volume 2

Shizuku is not considered to Akane as a partner. It seems that it is only my decision. Damn, this is

more serious than that on the eve of the entrance exam to the high school. At that time I had

diarrhea and even I could think about the next day. I’ve completely forgotten everything that I studied.

-Senou-kun, it seems that you are worried.

– What?

-Unfortunately, you have no choice. I have already registered your membership to the female section.

A mess. I was told that there was a problem, but in the end it turns out

that is already resolved. And above, assume that I agree with that.

-The teachers and the administrative staff, you will think that it is strange, isn’t it?

-I’ve already made all of the changes in the documents and the

database. Legally, you are now enrolled in the women’s section.

– How suddenly I am a student transferred? It is suspicious.

-I have informed you that you were on leave. Your tutor is also aware.

It is assumed that you have been sick and have not attended classes

for a long time, so do not worry about it. You can manage it as you want.

-I can’t even go back and forth easily.

-I told you I’d give you an all-access pass.

Shizuku took out an identification card. I was embedded with an IC chip to pass through

the door and had a hologram. I even had a picture of me as a woman, but when they took?

I looked carefully the access pass. It was completely authentic. Between having been inscribed in the section

of female, and this, I wonder where he gets the power of Shizuku. It is as if you were the boss of a mafia.

-Even though my name is still Senou Natsuru.

– How should we change it? Sure that you would feel uncomfortable.

-… Although I enrolled in the women’s section, there will be something good. After all, we are enemies.

-Of course, I understand.

Kampfer – Volume 2

-So what is the true purpose?

-I am not so silly as to put it here.

Definitely, it seems that there is something hidden behind all of this.

I don’t have the right to choose. On second thought, to be registered in the female

section is not something I would worry about. But I’m uncomfortable with the

fact that Shizuku me what you tax. This president of the student council doesn’t seem

to act without regard to the profits and losses. Be so submissive I really irritating.

Shizuku moved toward the desk next to the wall. It seems that is starting

to work in something related with the student council. Do not look

forward to here means that the conversation has ended and we should leave.

Akane and I got up. I felt how the transformation was beginning to fade slowly.
