Editing Kämpfer:Volume 2 Chapter 2 (section)

===Unwanted Popularity===

Because I still looked like a girl, I had no choice but to attend the women's section. There was always the risk of suddenly changing back to a boy, and when that happened, I could only pray. Or rather, I should pray now. Please, God, please don't let the Ring of Vows glow during class. I couldn't bear it if it did just now.

But the Gods seemed to hear my plea, and the class ended safely. This happened several times.

Meanwhile, from the door in the hallway, figures kept peering into the classroom.

And there weren't just one or two, ten, maybe twenty, and the number kept growing with each class.

And surprisingly, all of them were staring at me.

"Hey, what's that?"

Not knowing what was going on, I went to consult Akane and explained that my seat was right next to Akane. Although the homeroom teacher said "sit wherever you want," I suspected that this was also Shizuku's conspiracy.

"It seems that the girls are all looking at me..."

"..."

Akane didn't seem to hear it. She must be very sick.

"Senou-san, you are being monitored."

"Wow!"

Suddenly someone spoke from behind, and I jumped up in fright.

The person with a faint smile on her face was the class monitor.

"Oh, your voice is still as charming as a boy's."

"What...what..."

"Let me give you a piece of advice. You are being watched."

Being targeted? It's true that as a Kämpfer, I'm constantly exposed to danger, so much so that I'm tempted to use the classical Chinese saying, "I'm always on the battlefield." But the class monitor's line didn't seem to imply that.

"The women's division isn't much fun."

For some reason, I heard a sound from beneath my feet. I looked over and saw the vice-class monitor lying there. I was still wondering what she was imitating when she suddenly rubbed her cheek against my socks like a cat.

"That's why I said it's always tough for newcomers. For a while, the rumors were all about that one person, especially since she's such a beauty, right?"

"How could that be..."

"No, this is the kind of place."

"So, Senou-san, you're a big celebrity now."

The person speaking directly to me was the accountant. No matter how many times I looked at her, her face looked like a stock exchange clerk. It wasn't so much maturity as it was inauthentic.

"Now, not just the second years, but the whole school knows about you. It's only natural that everyone wants to see what this legendary beauty looks like."

I looked towards the door again. There were more people.

"Are those people targeting me... uh, isn't that right, me...?"

"Yes,"

the three of them agreed.

I understand saying it's not fun, but it's not that I don't know what to do. I just want excitement. For teenagers, no amount of fun is enough. Otherwise, men and women wouldn't risk crossing the line. The same goes for Higashida, who insisted on taking photos even when he was desperate.

But the fact that I'm the target of the entertainment is a bit unreasonable.

"The rumors are spreading among the boys now."

"Yes, that's right. There might be pictures of you soon."

"Hehehe."

These three people seem to be enjoying themselves. I'm not a comedian, but I can make them so happy. I guess I have a talent for comedy.

But I don't plan to join Yoshimoto Kogyo or Shochiku Geino. Just being a Kämpfer is enough for me. I don't need to add any more characteristics.

"That's what I said, but you can't get out of here."

"It's like throwing raw meat to a shark."

"Hehe."

What on earth could make these guys so happy?

It's as if they can predict what will happen next. What a bunch of black-hearted high school girls. What are they thinking? In fact, they may not be thinking about anything, but it must be a disaster for me.

The bell rang, signaling the end of class, and at the same time, the girls clinging to the windows also dispersed like the tide.

In short, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's no use for you to worry. Everyone is very interested in what happened to Senou."

"And it's not just girls."

"Hehehe."

I pretended not to hear, even though I heard it all.

My heart sank. Thinking carefully, I'd never received so much attention from a girl in my life. I should be happy, but this level of attention is unnecessary. Overall, it's probably a negative thing.

And my precious break time has been snatched away! Give it back to me!
