Editing Kämpfer:Volume 5 Chapter 4





Volume 5, Chapter 4  


    Kondou Mikoto leaped to avoid the attack.  


    "Da da da da," a typewriter -like sound echoed, and smoke rose from her feet. Yamakawa 

Ryouka approached slowly, holding a machine gun identical to the Israeli Uzi. A sailor uniform 

and a machine gun.  


    Kondou Mikoto raised her weapon, a Japanese sword.  


    "You barbarian. You only know that shooting is dangerous."  


    "I'm sorry, I don't know how to use any other weapon."  


    "Don't you think you're being too concise when it comes to swords and guns?"  


    "The TV show said that a Japanese sword can cut bullets in half. I guess I'm the one at a 

disadvantage."  


    "In that case, anything other than a Japanese sword can cut bullets in half. So, long -range 

weapons definitely have the advantage. Did you know that during the Warring States period, 

80% of the casualties were caused by cannons, bows, and stones alone? " 


    "That's the first I've heard of that. Kondou -san is very knowledgeable."  


    "I've also excavated ruins in Japan and stolen cultural relics."  


    She'd even been given a sword by a former samurai family. This wasn't the first time she'd 

used a Japanese sword for this purpose. So she had no intention of backing down, or rather, 

the word for backing down wasn't in her vocabulary.  


    (…That being said, it’s still disadvantageous to be so far away.)  


    She approached in small steps. Ryouka swung the machine pistol.  


    (Next time I shoot, that’s my chance.)  


    Ryouka’s index finger moved, followed by a series of sounds.  


    Kondou Mikoto dodged all the bullets with her amazing Kämpfer reflexes.  


    “Shhh!”  


    She swung her sword. But her opponent was also a Kämpfer, and as expected, she was no 

longer under her sword’s tip. The blade missed, and she immediately stood firm.  


    She was twisted to the left and rear.  


    “Kondou -san, watch out.”  


    At super close range, there was the muzzle of a machine pistol.  


    “Look at you, you big -headed ghost!”  


    Kondou Mikoto said, swearing like a red voice, and jumped up with her Japanese sword on 

the asphalt.  


    The bullet passed under her body, and Kondou Mikoto stretched out her foot and kicked 

Ryouka away.  


    "Ahhh!!"  


    The sole of the shoe hit her chin, and Ryouka fell back in a panic.  


    "Did you see it?"  


    "...I saw it, shameless underwear!"  


    Ryouka actually took advantage of the situation and did a backflip. Holding the machine 

gun in one hand and supporting the ground with the other hand was really unreasonable. 

With her left hand, she lifted her whole body and jumped backward.  


    She landed lightly.  


    "You can do it,"  


    Kondou Mikoto praised her even though she was the enemy. Ryouka touched her chin.  


    "Ah~ It hurts. I can't stand the violence of the Red Kämpfer."  


    "What color are you?"  


    "What color is it?"  


    "Then I'll force you to show me."  


    Kondou Mikoto extended her Japanese sword, and Ryouka stepped back to create 

distance.  


    There was no intention of letting the opponent create distance; the greater the distance, 

the more disadvantageous it was. Kondou Mikoto stepped forward, slashing as she 

advanced.  


    "Don't run away!"  


    "I don't want to feel any more pain."  


    "How can I let you succeed!"  


    "That's it."  


    Continuous gunshots rang out. Ryouka fired, and Kondou Mikoto jumped to the side.  


    At this moment, Ryouka ran away.  


    "Ah! Stop right there!"  


    Kondou Mikoto chased after her.  


    Shizuku and Sayaka hadn't moved yet. Their respective weapons were daggers and magic, 

each holding the other in check.  


    "...I want to know why you're targeting Senou -san."  


    Shizuku slowly raised her daggers.  


    "Of course it's for our own good,"  


    Sayaka replied readily.  


    "Otherwise it would be troublesome."  


    "We're not in any trouble at all. The mediator said so."  


    "That's right. She also said bad things about the president because you disobeyed her."  


    "You have the nerve to turn someone into a Kämpfer without my permission."  


    "So we're here to defeat you, President."  


    Her hands glowed, filling the night road with light.  


    Shizuku didn't wait for Sayaka's attack, but wielded the two chained daggers like ropes.  


    One for the throat, the other for the heart. In a straight line, without deviation.  


    "Tsk!"  


    Sayaka stopped her attack, deflecting the daggers with a bullet of light. Because it had a 

lock, it twisted back into Shizuku's hand like a snake.  


    "...President, don't you care about the students?"  


    "I remember the budget for your track and field club was quite high?"  


    "The juniors are happy, but as for me, it's already like this."  


    "If you regret it, change it back."  


    "No, it's not bad."  


    Sayaka moved.  


    Magical attacks take longer than daggers and guns. Quantity and control are needed to 

make up for this shortcoming.  


    Several light bullets appeared and shot at Shizuku.  


    She didn't dodge, but quickly closed the distance. Although there were ways to attack from 

a distance, she chose to do so.  


    "Tsk!"  


    But the magic was one step faster, and Sayaka sent a light bullet straight at Shizuku.  


    Shizuku turned to avoid it and slashed at Sayaka with two short daggers at the same time.  


    "Ouch..."  


    "Oh, I missed."  


    Sayaka also used the Kämpfer method and dodged immediately, only getting scratched.  


    "The reflexes of the track and field department are really good."  


    "...It really makes me angry."  


    "I feel the same as Kondou -san."  


    Sayaka fired light bullets from her hands, exploding them. Although there was no sound, it 

was very bright and dazzling.  


    Shizuku reflexively covered her eyes with her hands, and at this moment Sayaka ran away. 

She kept making several small light bullets and firing them continuously.  


    "Oh no!"  


    Shizuku retreated a little while flicking light bullets with her dagger. Sayaka did not chase 

after her, but looked around.  


    A figure appeared from the side.  


    "Have we been merged..."  


    If Akane and the others find out, she will be cursed again. Thinking of this, Shizuku 

prepared for the next battle.  


    My head hurts a lot, it's all because of that guy Akane who always hits me with the butt of 

a gun. Every time she hits me, hundreds of brain cells die, so my brain must be empty. The 

sound of winning the lottery jackpot echoing in my head seems to be n o coincidence.  


    "It hurts, why did you hit me?"  


    "I won't feel good unless I hit you."  


    Akane's eyes were fixed on Sayaka and Rika, and only her hands were hitting me.  


    "No matter how you look at it, it's your responsibility that the fight has developed into this. 

I just want you to take responsibility in advance."  


    "Hit me for that reason?"  


    "Do you want me to shoot?"  


    Let's forget about that.  


    Sayaka and Rika also kept a certain distance between them. Because both sides are using 

swords, if they get too close, the weapons will clash. It's completely different from us who 

are still fighting.  


    "Can your playfulness end here? Although it's convenient to solve it this way."  


    Sayaka said,  


    "You two have a really good relationship."  


    "So annoying, you are the ones who are causing trouble for this stupid donkey."  


    Akane called out, and it was very noisy because it was a dog.  


    "It's a shame, but I have the right to kill this gang. I won't give you the body either, so go 

back empty -handed."  


    "Hey, what are you thinking about?"  


    I couldn't help but say. Was she still pointing the finger at me?  


    The dog girl glared at me with a rabid look in her eyes.  


    "You'll have to shut up and send them to hell first. Next is you. If you run away, I'll kill you 

now."  


    "Don't you have any other ideas besides killing?"  


    "If they want you, then I'll turn you all into corpses. And then I'll bury you under the anime 

convention. It's a place for burying corpses, so no one will bother you."  


    What an excessive way of thinking. My brain circuit must have short -circuited somewhere. 

No matter what, the buried party will always be troubled.  


    Rika's hand flashed.  


    "Yah!"  


    Akane and I quickly dodged as the sickle flew towards us, threatening to slice off our 

heads, necks, and bodies.  


    "It's dangerous! It's okay if it hits Natsuru, but it's me who's the worst."  


    "...I'm not going to ask you about that. Why is it so bad if it hits you?"  


    "If the library committee member, Glasses Girl, dies, it's a loss to the world."  


    Really? They say a person's name is everything, but are there any differences between 

individuals? Better than glasses and contact lenses, right?  


    The sickle flew again, and Rika said something like, "We're so close!"  


    "What are you talking about? Who's so close to whom? You look tired of living."  


    "That's right, it's obviously not good at all,"  


    I agreed. But Akane glared at me and then punched me.  


    "It hurts so much! Are you going to do it? Tears are coming out."  


    "I said yes myself, but I don't want you to tell me!"  


    Akane shook the muzzle of the gun.  


    "Listen carefully, I'm going to kill them now, you can either be bait or protect me as a 

shield."  


    "... Is there any strategy and my human rights in this trick?"  


    "Shut up, don't find fault."  


    "Why not maintain a protracted war until Kondou Mikoto comes over."  


    "No Kondou Mikoto."  


    "Why?"  


    "Childhood sweethearts are really annoying. Listen carefully, childhood sweethearts and 

the like will be killed by human bombs. This has been an unwritten rule since ZANBOT3."  


    What is it? It's like a secret code to me.  


    "The president is a typical class leader, which is infuriating. It's even more infuriating when 

both of them resemble typical characters from GAL. You can understand why my delicate 

nerves are about to be severed. Kill everyone here, including the medi ators."  


    This policy easily surpassed my comprehension. Its simplicity was terrifying.  


    "If you don't want to be killed right from the start, then hurry up. If you dare to die so 

easily, I'll kill you, understand?"  


    After spouting a flurry of contradictions in half a second, Akane aimed her pistol forward.  


    "Run, you idiot!"  


    She began firing. With no other choice, I charged, cursing Akane under my breath.  


    Sayaka and Rika's expressions were like, "What the hell are they doing?"  


    I felt the same way. I'd be puzzled if the enemy was so concerned about the enemy 

charging from behind.  


    "Seno -san, are you willing to join us?"  


    "The Natsuru seem to be fighting hard."  


    There was no time to reply. I felt a murderous aura behind me and immediately fell to the 

ground.  


    Bullets flew over my head, and Sayaka and Rika, caught in the trap, scattered and fled.  


    Behind me, Akane cursed, "Die, die now!" and fired. If you force yourself to say something, 

the curses will outnumber the bullets.  


    I also released fireballs to support them. The distance between the two of us gradually 

widened, and we were in a situation where we couldn't support each other.  


    "Good job, Natsuru, I'll send them to their death!"  


    Of course, those two were not fools who would sit there and wait for death.  


    "Rika"  


    "Leave it to me."  


    Sayaka suddenly started running, not towards me but towards Akane. The rapier was on 

her waist.  


    "How brave!"  


    The mastiff girl took the challenge. This woman was so easily provoked by others. The 

bullets were concentrated on Sayaka.  


    "Ouch~"  


    Suddenly the chain stretched out, several times longer than before, and aimed at me.  


    It didn't hit me, but the chain was wrapped around my right arm.  


    "Wow"  


    "Got it~"  


    Rika looked very happy, her expression was as if she had caught a dream in a ball.  


    "Let's go here, Natsuru~"  


    I was pulled over by an unimaginable force. I was careless and was pulled over while lying 

on my stomach.  


    "Here~"  


    "It hurts, it hurts."  


    I raised my upper body. I am also a Kämpfer, so we are equally strong. I tried to pull Rika 

over.  


    "You can't do that!"  


    Another hammer was thrown and fell over my head.  


    Ouch, it almost hit me and stabbed me on the asphalt. I was startled and pulled over again.  


    "Ouch, ouch~"  


    "Ouch~"  


    When I tried to use force, the hammer hit me. When I paid attention to the hammer, I was 

pulled over. I wanted to use a magic attack but I couldn't aim because I couldn't keep my 

balance. Ouch, this is bad.  


    Rika pulled the chain more and more proudly, ah ah ah ah ah.  


    "What are you doing, you bastard!"  


    A gunshot rang out, and the chain shattered.  


    Akane roared at me.  


    "Is your mind empty? Just aim at the chain!"  


    That's true, but not wanting to admit my occasional low IQ, I also roared.  


    "That's so simple! Aren't you also a wolf!"  


    Akane's clothes were also torn and it seemed that she was at a disadvantage in the duel 

with Sayaka.  


    "Shut up! How can you talk to LADY!"  


    "Then bring that LADY here! It's not a dog, it's a human!"  


    "What did you say!"  


    Akane said, then turned and ran away.  


    "Hey!?"  


    "Retreat for the time being, the situation is not favorable!"  


    I hurried to catch up, and Sayaka and Rika caught up behind me.  


    "That Rika woman is pretty strong. She got beaten up pretty badly."  


    "You didn't fight back?"  


    "She's bleeding all over, right?"  


    "Where are you running to?"  


    "It's not running away, it's a strategic move."  


    Isn't it essentially the same thing? But now's not the time to talk about her.  


    "Where are you moving to?"  


    "If you run, you'll meet your friends."  


    It's a really awkward way to escape, but we can't stop. We keep running.  


    It's embarrassing, but we still have to run. As we run, we see Kondou Mikoto.  


    "Where have you been?"  


    "Where else can we go? We're fighting!"  


    I retort. It's more like running, but it's almost the same.  


    "Don't bring your troubles with you! I'm in the same situation here!"  


    We discover Shizuku is here too. She's fighting with Sayaka and Ryouka.  


    More accurately, it was a standoff. They'd probably already exchanged blows several times, 

adapting to the surroundings and their own physical conditions. Were they taking a break 

now, or were they too nervous to move?  


    We were in the middle of a workout. After checking our companions, Akane and I turned 

back.  


    "Hide and seek is over! Switching offense and defense!"  


    Akane fired several shots. Sayaka and Rika didn't fight back, joining the other two.  


    Now we were evenly matched, four against four.  


    It was a standoff, like a gang fight.  


    "Who cares about the number?"  


    Shizuku stopped Akane from rushing over.  


    "Wait a minute."  


    "Let me go, you slutty, idiotic president."  


    "I'll forgive your swearing this time, so wait a minute."  


    Shizuku looked at the four enemies.  


    "The leader is Sayaka... Do you think that's okay?"  


    "Yes,"  


    Sayaka replied.  


    "Are you led by the president?"  


    "That's not the case."  


    "You're free, don't worry. Everyone's here, let's decide who's the winner. Senou Natsuru, 

we're leaving."  


    They all raised their weapons at the same time. Akane loaded her gun, and Kondou Mikoto 

tightened her grip on the Japanese sword. Let's put some pressure on our hands for now.  


    But Shizuku stopped them.  


    "I have a question before the battle."  


    "No, it seems to take up too much time."  


    "Please be sure to answer. Why do we need Senou -san?"  


    "Of course, Senou -san is the key."  


    Sayaka seemed to say "Of course."  


    Why am I so confused.  


    "Come to think of it, if the president and Red Kämpfer had behaved themselves, this 

wouldn't have happened."  


    "Really?"  


    "Yes, if Red and Blue had fought it out, there wouldn't have been a problem. It's a rare 

opportunity to turn Kondou -san into Red, and the result has shrunk. This is going to be 

difficult."  


    "Aren't you unwilling to let the mediator manipulate you?"  


    "That's up to you, but that's why we're here to eliminate those who are causing trouble."  


    "...You, what's wrong with you."  


    Sayaka pulled up her sleeves.  


    There was a bracelet with the same shape as ours. But the color was almost transparent 

white.  


    "Everyone, the mediator granted a new color."  


    Not red or blue, but other colors. Of course, this is the first time seeing it.  


    "This is the color for the duel with you."  


    "Can you accept it?"  


    "There is no way to not accept it now."  


    Really resigned to fate. Although people like Shizuku may be exceptions.  


    Shizuku still held two daggers and the alert status was not lifted. Well, everyone was like 

this.  


    "You haven't answered yet, why is it Senou -san?"  


    Sayaka didn't want to tease us, but she still paused for a while.  


    "It's not Senou -san, the important thing is whether Senou -san is a boy or a girl."  


    "Huh?"  


    You're talking about me.  


    "I'm a man."  


    "Huh? Senou -san, don't you have any doubts about yourself changing from a man to a 

woman and becoming a Kämpfer?"  


    "Is that so..."  


    It was really annoying at first. But now I'm quite used to it.  


    "I heard it from the dirty doll. You're the only one with a mixed gender Kämpfer. There's a 

reason for that. When there were only two forces, Red and Blue, Senou was just a slightly 

peculiar Kämpfer."  


    "...I understand, but what is that?"  


    "Did you know that Red and Blue are fighting in another world?"  


    "I heard about it."  


    "Now, because of the president, the structure of that world is a bit strange. It's 

unimaginable that Red and Blue would join forces. So Senou became the key. If you choose a 

man, then this world wins and the other world loses. If you choose a woman, th en this world 

loses and the other world wins."  


    "...So?"  


    "Don't you understand? It means the world will change its structure depending on 

whether you live the rest of your life as a man or a woman."  


    Wow, this is ridiculous.  


    I almost doubted my ears. What's going on? Am I supposed to be responsible for 

something like the fate of the world, something only a middle school student could dream 

of? 


    I find it a bit strange that I'm the only one who transforms into a woman, but I didn't 

expect it to be such a fundamental issue.  


    Sayaka continued.  


    "We think Senou -san is wavering between male and female right now, and your decision is 

very important."  


    The elite of the women's track and field team smiled.  


    "Come to our place and try it out as a woman?"  


    It was such a blatant invitation.  


    The answer here should be a clear no. In that case, even using the restroom and bathroom 

would require being a woman, so of course I don't want to. But I don't know why I can't be 

sure of my feelings. Even after being told clearly, I still had the thou ght, "Is that so?" As a 

woman... well...  


    "Hey, hey, hey, don't let that idiot Natsuru make the decision,"  


    Akane said, biting a pocky that she had taken out from nowhere.  


    "Don't let this idiot make the decision. He's dull and indecisive."  


    "That's better. The important thing is to let people like him make the decision."  


    "What will happen to us if he chooses a woman?"  


    "Who knows,"  


    Sayaka shrugged.  


    "It will end up like Kämpfer who was beaten."  


    In other words, disappear.  


    "Don't be ridiculous. If he chooses a man, you will disappear."  


    "That's why we don't want that. Senou -san must come to our place."  


    "That won't work either. I'm the one who killed this guy. How can I give it to you? Come 

back in a hundred years."  


    Akane narrowed her eyes. I am more concerned about the phrase "I'm going to be fucked".  


    Sayaka and the other girls were not provoked.  


    "Akane, do you know why you are the winner because Senou -san chose to be a boy?"  


    "Who knows."  


    "Because all of you like the boy Senou -san."  


    What are you talking about?  


    I am about to laugh. The bulldog girl who keeps saying she wants to kill me, the student 

council president who only knows how to bully me, and the childhood sweetheart who only 

knows how to make me eat curry, where is the sign of love?  


    I wanted everyone to laugh together but their expressions froze, everyone's expressions 

were so serious, what?  


    Akane shouted,  


    "So you are the Natsuru yuri girls who like girls?"  


    "That's not the case,"  


    Sayaka said happily from the bottom of her heart.  


    "We have Sakura Kaede."  


    What, Sakura Kaede!?  


    Seeing me and Sayaka falling, the four of them laughed and said,  


    "So, Senou -san, come over to our place. Sakura Kaede won't even look at you if you're not 

a girl."  


    Do you even know this?  


    Police sirens were heard in the distance. Although it was late, the police car arrived.  


    Sayaka checked behind her and nodded to the others.  


    "We wanted to decide the outcome here, but it seems that won't work."  


    "..." 


    All of us were speechless.  


    "Then Senou -san, let's meet again in the girls' club next time."  


    The four of them dispersed and quickly disappeared into the night streets, out of sight.  


    We could only watch them disappear.  


    "...Let's go back,"  


    Shizuku whispered. I had the same idea, so I canceled my transformation. I turned back 

into a man.  


    The red lights of the police car caught our eyes, and we started to move so as not to be 

questioned.  


    Another speechless time.  


    "... President, should we believe it?"  


    Kondou Mikoto asked, even she seemed a little worried.  


    "There is no reason to doubt it."  


    "The same goes for Natsuru, and that world over there..."  


    "Those are indeed things that need to be considered, and there is also the matter of 

Sakura Kaede."  


    Oh, by the way, the white Kämpfer said that Sakura Kaede was there too. It is not clear 

how much of a relationship they have, but there is no doubt that there is a relationship.  


    All kinds of things are turning in my mind. Men, women, and all kinds of messy things are 

running at full speed in my mind, and I feel like I am going to have a fever.  


    "Well, it doesn't matter, it just means don't give Natsuru to them, right?"  


    Akane said with raised eyes, wow, this guy didn't cancel the transformation.  


    "Natsuru, if you dare to choose the path of being a woman, I will kill you. If you continue to 

be a man, I will kill you sooner or later. Remember this."  


    Only this woman remained the same. Looking at the fierce dog girl as always, I felt relieved 

for some reason.
