Given that it was still morning my mind wasn't fully functional. That this beautiful girl being before my eyes was part of reality, this is something I still can't believe. |

Foolishly, I pondered such a thing. It is certainly something doubtful, but somehow it must be real. Otherwise I would never have expected a woman to suddenly appear like this. |

I am Senou Natsuru, a seventeen year old second year student in high school. Slender and of medium height. As for my grades, at one point my grades were really good, and then there was another time when my grades were really bad. In other words, I am right in them middle. My reflexes are also average. Even if I am describing myself, I really am just average guy that you can find anywhere. |

||
− | "It's incomprehensible. Why am I talking to a plush toy? For what is it that I'm pledging? In the first place why am I a woman?" |
||
+ | The biggest shock to her was knowing she would have to compromise with an articulate plush doll. |
||
− | With the shock of having become a woman, I was barely able to form the words to reply to the plush toy. Think about this a little more. Aren't I talking to a plush toy? |
||
+ | <!--is this supposed to be in third person?--> |
||
+ | Listening to the mouth of Dahlonega toys? I think I'm good. |

− | + | “Haaa?” |
|
− | + | That is my response, plush doll. |
|
− | “Kämpfer are |
+ | “Kämpfer are elite combat units; mighty power is guaranteed by the pledge bracelet; break through any opponent it senses.” |
+ | “…Well, I don’t know.” |
||
− | “……I don't understand it all that well.” |
||
− | + | I felt like I was reading a game manual and it slipped out of my hand. |
|
− | + | “The Kämpfer is a person who fights?” |
|
+ | “Yes.” |

|
− | + | “Now, how could you do something like that?” |
|
+ | “Yes we can, for example we could do something like 'this' half-asleep.” |
||
− | “Shaddup! Such an explanation, I can't possibly understand when all you say is 'of course' and 'yes'! Just go to sleep!” |
||
− | + | All of the sudden it felt like a hundred years had suddenly passed: I was commanded to "Save the world as a Kämpfer." |
|
− | + | After becoming a woman and speaking to stuffed animals, I'm supposed to let it go? What a nightmare, a nightmare twisting itself to be heard as "Kämpfer". |

A voice was coming from the garbage can. |
A voice was coming from the garbage can. |
||
+ | “I, however, was the one elected!” |
||
− | “Since after all you have been chosen.” |
||
+ | “Do you believe me?” |
||
− | “Is that believable?” |
||
+ | Deep; and I have a reply. |
||
− | Even on the edge of consciousness, I was replying. |
||
− | + | “Do you believe me? Now that I’m a girl?” |
|
− | + | I said this while displaying the uniformed body of a woman. |
|
+ | “Here you go. I am convinced.” |
||
− | “Look look. That should make you understand.” |
||
<!--24--> |
<!--24--> |
||
− | + | “…Not yet.” |
|
− | I |
+ | I set my arms on the front of the trash can. |
− | “This |
+ | “This woman’s body serves to convince me.” |
− | + | “It is the form of a Kämpfer, but I am unfamiliar with the form of a woman’s body.” |
|
− | “I |
+ | “I am a man.” |
− | + | “So I became a girl, over my choice to be a boy over a girl.” |
|
+ | “What choices are really ever choices?” |
||
− | “Can't you have an alternative be selected instead?” |
||
+ | “Well I didn’t choose at all." |
||
− | “Of course not." |
||
− | + | Inside the trash Harakiri Tora is talking to the ground. |
|
− | I reached into the trash and |
+ | I reached into the trash and pulled out the plush doll; I cannot throw it away anyways, I’ll just have to place it on the desk. |
− | + | “Hello again, what a cramped trash can that is.” |
|
− | + | But you really are a well matched size for it. |
|
+ | “In fact, this bracelet is a testament that you’ve become a Kämpfer, and when it flashes you’ll become a Kämpfer.” |
||
− | "That aside, what's the deal with this bracelet?" |
||
+ | Observing the bracelet again, I saw it had no seams; just how it got onto my wrist, I don’t know. |
||
− | “The Pledge Bracelet is the sign that identifies you as a Kämpfer. When it shines, you will become a Kämpfer.” |
||
+ | “Oh, you can’t take it off” |
||
− | I began examining the bracelet once again. There was no seam on it, so I had no idea how exactly they'd gone about putting it on. |
||
− | |||
− | “Oh, you cannot take it off.” |
||
<!--25--> |
<!--25--> |
||
− | Harakiri Tora |
+ | Can Harakiri Tora read my mind? |
− | “It cannot be |
+ | “It cannot be taken off except under special circumstances, so you will stay a Kämpfer.” |
− | “How |
+ | “How do I get it off?” |
− | + | “You can die...” |
|
− | + | “Hey!” |
|
+ | I’m reluctant to say it, but it’s no use. |
||
− | Saying something like that is worthless. |
||
− | “Please think of it as an accessory |
+ | “Please think of it as an accessory, dark as well as heavy.” |
+ | Indeed, the burden to my wrist hasn’t gotten lighter. |
||
− | For certain, it was so light that that I didn't feel any additional burden on my wrist. |
||
− | “Why is |
+ | “Why is mine blue?” |
− | “Are you not pleased with it? |
+ | “Are you not pleased with it? Red is good too, you might become three times faster.” |
+ | “Meaning it exists, but you won’t give it to me.” |
||
− | "Red would be good. It's possible I could become three times as fast<ref>This is a reference to the Red Comet from Mobile Suit Gundam</ref>.” |
||
+ | “Be proud and laugh.” |
||
− | “That is significant. However I wasn't taught that.” |
||
+ | “Returning to the point, why and who do Kämpfer fight?” |
||
− | It let out a suppressed laugh. To be speaking like that with Shizuka-chan's voice, it made me especially angry. |
||
+ | “Because it exists to fight, no that’s the truth.” |
||
− | “Back to the previous discussion. Why do Kämpfer fight? And who?” |
||
+ | I guess I should toss Harakiri Tora into the trash again; she was tossed in hurry. |
||
− | “It is because they exist for the sake of fighting. That is reality.” |
||
+ | “Kämpfer only exist to fight; I cannot specialize in combat,<!--26--> so I selected the best suited person, you were it.” |
||
− | Sensing I was about to toss it into the trash again, Harakiri Torashe hurriedly added one more thing. |
||
+ | “What should I say about myself ‘I’m an average guy, anyone could see that; 'I try my best’?”<!--Hes asking if he should say I try my best--> |
||
− | “For Kämpfer fighting is their only raison d'être. They have been specialized explicitly for combat. <!--26-->You were the optimal person for this. Therefore you were selected.” |
||
+ | “Please listen; you’re the man I chose.” <!-- shouldn't it be "you were chosen"?--> |
||
− | “……Even though I'm saying this about myself, anyone who say me would agree that I'm just a simple human being. In what way am I the most suitable for this?" |
||
+ | “You chose me?” |
||
− | “Could you ask the one that to the person who chose you?" |
||
− | |||
− | “You didn't chose me?” |
||
“You were chosen by a Moderator.” |
“You were chosen by a Moderator.” |
||
− | Moderator |
+ | Moderator, who is that? |
− | “It is the |
+ | “It is the responsibility of that person to pick up talent, and you were a perfect fit.” |
− | + | “Who are you then?” |
|
− | “I am |
+ | “I am messenger of the Moderators, mouthpiece of mythical angels.” |
+ | “They allow Entrails to flaunt something angelic?” |
||
− | “Something can be an angel while showing off its entrails?” |
||
− | + | What awful taste; this will anger many pious Christians. |
|
− | + | After this story I can’t really argue, I was chosen by the Moderators to fight as a Kämpfer... in a girl’s body. |
|
− | “It seems you understand |
+ | “It seems you understand.” |
− | The plush doll’s tone had |
+ | The plush doll’s tone had the quality of a teacher’s; I was staring at it with hate. |
− | + | “And I’ve been asking for awhile; what a difficult battle!” |
|
“……” |
“……” |
||
− | + | “I came here as a plush doll imitation,” |
|
<!--27--> |
<!--27--> |
||
− | I was |
+ | I was fishing inside the desk; there must be a one hundred yen lighter somewhere. Tobacco sucks, but there is something useful about it, burning synthetic fibers. |
− | + | “There is no fire, vinyl smells bad when it burns but I--” |
|
+ | “I didn’t say anything!” |
||
− | “Weren't you not speaking?” |
||
− | I |
+ | I fished out the lighter and some gas. |
+ | “What is it, NO please drop it; give me another chance!!” |
||
− | “Therefore can you please stop.” |
||
+ | “I have been begging in the voice of Shizuka-chan too!” |
||
− | “Why don't you also beg in the voice of Shizuka-chan like before?”<ref>Harakiri Tora was using a very polite form of speech before. Since the point where fire became a concern, its speech pattern changed.</ref> |
||
+ | I would also like to be reassured by that fond voice. |
||
− | I can't say it out loud, but the present manner was quite pleasing. |
||
+ | “I actually don’t know why you have to fight either!” |
||
− | “As a matter of fact even I do not know. Why do they fight?” |
||
+ | “Is this tale true?” |
||
− | “You're speaking like that now?”<ref>The speech pattern reverted</ref> |
||
+ | “The Moderators did not tell me what the catch was or how this serves their interest! It can’t be helped, man; unless you want entrails protruding from your stomach too.” |
||
− | “Since the Moderators are stingy, they haven't informed me of that. I wasn't that curious either.” |
||
+ | “From the plush doll!?” |
||
− | "You serve no purpose. None other than having your entrails gushing out of your stomach." |
||
+ | I returned the lighter to my skirt pocket. That's not very good for the care of the skirt; you can hear gas escaping with a “su~” sound. |
||
− | “It is because I am a plush toy.” |
||
+ | “However, I still have to fight an opponent?” |
||
− | I put the lighter away in my skirt pocket. It doesn't matter to me if it's the worst for the skirt. I let out a deep sigh. |
||
+ | “That is most likely.” |
||
− | “But hey, since I am am going to be fighting, then I would assume there's an opponent to fight, right?” |
||
− | + | “Who am I?” |
|
− | |||
− | “Who is it?” |
||
<!--28--> |
<!--28--> |
||
+ | “Secret.” |
||
− | “That's confidential.” |
||
− | “This |
+ | “This Motherfucker…” |
− | I do not know |
+ | I do not know if a true man would have cursed like this. |
− | + | “Even now I understand; from now on I am a Kämpfer.” |
|
− | + | While I don’t understand the reason, this all seems to be possible. |
|
− | + | Once again my head was being challenged, what is this!? Suddenly I am a Kämpfer and I'm to to fight and so forth against something or another. Hey, who do I have to convince to become the new white hat?<ref> White hat is hero character, from a final fantasy reference</ref> |
|
− | “Hahhahha |
+ | “Hahhahha, sounds like an impossible reality.” |
− | + | What’s normal? I would want anything to be carefree and funny, but starting the day with a talking plush doll, I can't believe this. |
|
− | + | “But this is all true, you can be called a Kämpfer; it's the whole truth without any pretenses.” |
|
“…………” |
“…………” |
||
− | + | “I cannot accept this.” |
|
+ | And well. |
||
− | Well I must admit. |
||
− | + | “What could one say to satisfy you; there is no doubt you are a Kämpfer.” |
|
− | I |
+ | I looked into Harakiri Tora’s eyes. There doesn’t seem to be anything fishy about her, and there’s nothing outrageous behind her eyes. |
− | + | After the day had begun, the term "guy" no longer applied to me; my preset had been selected, evidenced by the fact that I have the body of a woman, and I have to fight in this form. |
|
<!--29--> |
<!--29--> |
||
+ | I have a bad feeling this pressure will lead to a fight. I do not know why I have to fight, I wonder what the White Hat would say. |
||
− | Even so the idea of fighting gives me an unpleasant feeling. Is this guy's intention to to insist upon me engaging in battle without even knowing the reason? |
||
− | + | “It is not that you will fight.” |
|
− | + | And Harakiri Tora? |
|
− | + | “The Kämpfer were chosen to fight, not me.” |
|
− | “Why |
+ | “Why, I don’t want to fight.” |
+ | “I know.” |
||
− | "It will be clear soon enough.” |
||
− | Only |
+ | Only like this is the plush dolls self-confident, mirroring Shizuka-chan. |
− | + | Anymore questions feel pointless, I’ll just stop talking. Also, if I’m pursued as the plush doll said... I can just burn it later. |
|
− | + | Looking at the clock, it's telling me I’m "almost late." |
|
− | + | “OH, that was the entire point!” |
|
+ | “Sloppy. Any questions, please?” |
||
− | “That's enough, please withhold any further questions?” |
||
− | + | “Each comment stings… Anyways, will I remain a woman?!” |
|
− | I have to go to school already. Now |
+ | I have to go to school already. Now I’ll have to run without eating breakfast or I won’t make it. And remaining a girl in a sailor uniform is quite the penalty game. |
− | " |
+ | "Do you still want to remain a woman?" |
+ | |||
+ | "..." |
||
<!--30--> |
<!--30--> |
||
+ | “I’m being misunderstood."<!-- no emphasis on this--> |
||
− | “That's a misunderstanding!" |
||
− | " |
+ | "I can return to being a man?!” |
− | Immediately |
+ | Immediately her eyes brightened. Sakura-original, I will be a normal boy again! |
− | + | “According to how I put it...” |
|
− | + | “If you do this you must fight.” |
|
+ | “If what?” |
||
− | “What's up with that?” |
||
− | + | “It’s simple really. If you continue to win fights, you will have no more enemies, hence no reason to turn into a woman. So you can always remain a man.” |
|
− | “I |
+ | “I see... Well, I asked about my target earlier.” |
− | + | “Any hope I had, is gone I guess.” |
|
− | + | “Motherfucker! It’s important now. I have to go to school!” |
|
+ | “Well...” |
||
− | “Hmm” |
||
− | Harakiri Tora had been |
+ | Harakiri Tora had been in deep contemplation for a while. |
− | “There is no |
+ | “There is no way. I can tell you a way to return to your original form though.” |
− | “That’s it, |
+ | “That’s it, tell me! No, please tell me!” |
− | + | Grabbing the plush doll, to the me now, the Shizuka-voiced Harakiri Tora was enough to bow before. |
|
− | “You are |
+ | “You are very impatient.” |
<!--31--> |
<!--31--> |
||
+ | “What is it? Teach me quickly. Quickly!” |
||
− | “What do you expect of an Edokko<ref>Someone born in the Edo region. Typically thought to have different personalities compared to other parts of Japan</ref>. Teach me immediately. Hurry up already!” |
||
− | + | “Please close your eyes tightly.” |
|
“Alright.” |
“Alright.” |
||
− | As |
+ | As she said, I closed my eyes; all I could hear was Harakiri Tora’s voice. |
− | + | “So we will.” |
|
− | + | Will? What is will? |
|
− | + | In the next instant, just when I was starting to question it, I felt a strong blow to my abdomen. |
|
− | + | Pain came unbidden from my abdomen. The plush doll SOB wanted to beat me; next I’ll burn her. Then my conscious went pitch black. |
|
− | + | “Haaaa!” |
|
+ | I can sense my eyes. |
||
− | My eyes awakened. |
||
− | I jumped up on reflex |
+ | I jumped up on reflex, falling off the bed as a bonus. |
− | Bed? |
+ | Bed? Looking around I see the familiar landscape of my room. |
− | + | Gingerly looking at himself, large breasts? |
|
− | + | I hurried off the bed and peered into the powerless television screen. Since my room has no mirror this makes a decent substitute. |
|
− | + | No doubt about it, this is a man's face. |
|
<!--32--> |
<!--32--> |
||
+ | |||
− | A great joy surged from the depths of my heart. |
||
+ | A great surge of jubilation came straight from the heart. |
||
“Ah… I did it!” |
“Ah… I did it!” |
||
− | I |
+ | I howled with joy: I am not a woman, My manhood has been restored, there is no such thing as a Kämpfer! |
− | + | I jumped in front of my desk. |
|
− | "You, |
+ | "You, don't lie to yourself, I returned you to normal." |
− | + | Harakiri Tora said, however there was no reply. |
|
+ | “Hey!” |
||
− | “Hey……?” |
||
− | + | He brought his face closer, twitched but did not move, shaked but did not wave. He grabbed the tusks that had grown from its mouth. Precisely sewn into place, and there was no form of movement. How did I meet this ordinary looking plush doll? |
|
− | Ideas |
+ | Ideas swirled around while the plush doll, Harakiri Tora, slept. Perhaps the events that happened a while ago were just a dream. |
− | “I |
+ | “I see… So it was a dream.” |
+ | Joy gradually surged through me. |
||
− | I steadily began to rejoice. |
||
− | + | “Great! A dream, it was all a dream!” |
|
+ | Never mind that this has become a monologue. Happiness leaped inside me, inside each non-existent Kämpfer forced to become a woman and fight for no reason. |
||
− | I don't care that I have started talking to myself. I was jumping for joy. Turning into a woman to be a Kämpfer, as well as being forced to fight under circumstances I don't understand, such outrageous things were no longer happening. |
||
<!--33--> |
<!--33--> |
||
− | “Hurray, hurray |
+ | “Hurray, hurray! Now I’m an ordinary person, unrelated to combat, among other things!” |
− | I |
+ | I ran around the room in joy, expressing the joy from a year’s worth of holidays; suddenly after jumping for joy, love, and school, I saw my arm. |
− | I |
+ | I didn't believe my eyes there I see a light-blue bracelet; what’s this…? |
+ | “Well, I wasn’t dreaming.” |
||
− | “You would agree that it is not a dream, right?” |
||
− | Harakiri Tora shook her head |
+ | Harakiri Tora shook her head with a sigh. |
− | + | Cruelly, school looming over my head created an overcast mood, and while I looked up outside I saw cloudy weather. This good feeling was the worst. |
|
− | "This isn't a dream |
+ | "This isn't a dream or anything. This is all reality," Harakari Tiger told me without reserve. I want to act as if I didn't hear him, but it seems as if I have to take it in. I had gotten really pissed, so "Why the poke did you stay silent," I attacked, but "You seemed really happy", it poking answered, seemingly awkwardly.<!--credits to Yoakenohikari--> |
− | + | “Don’t do it! You were returned to your immasculine figure!” |
|
− | + | Harakiri Tora, admonishing words aren’t meant to raise my blood pressure. |
|
+ | "Good, being hit in such a way is a sure way to return. I wonder if there is a better way?"\ |
||
− | "It's not fine. Having to suffer such a severe blow to change back is the worst. Isn't there a much more preferable means?" |
||
<!--34--> |
<!--34--> |
||
− | + | “You actually return automatically, I just wanted to do it in a playful way.” |
|
− | + | “I’ll kill you.” |
|
− | The |
+ | The sides of my abdomen were still throbbing. |
− | + | “Oh yeah, It is probably a good idea to buy clothes.” |
|
− | + | “Hey I’m not interested in fashion.” |
|
− | + | Anyways I can’t really understand the idea of spending money on overpriced clothes. I continued to browse fashion magazines, all with similar looking clothes since fashion has looks that change often.<ref>He means he browsed fashion mags before but hes not willing to spend money on the clothes, not that he is currently browsing fashion mags</ref> |
|
+ | “Men aren’t; its women’s clothes we will need after the transformation.” |
||
− | “I was not talking about menswear. I was talking about women's clothing. Would those not be necessary for when you have transformed.” |
||
− | + | Come again? Why would we need to buy women’s clothes? |
|
− | To my |
+ | To my questioning, Harakiri Tora nodded naturally. |
− | + | “The transformation works on your men’s uniform for school, it does not change all the clothes of the earth into a feminine version.” |
|
+ | “It’s mutually exclusive for your uniform.” |

− | “Shouldn't it be okay with whatever I happen to be wearing at the time?” |
||
− | + | “I probably fit that size best.” |
|
− | + | Not really, that was not made for my huge chest, among other things. |
|
− | But |
+ | But do we have to get such things like women’s clothes? Once a man is in the shop, he’ll get treated like a pervert, and… that’s not even considering underwear. |

||
+ | “As I thought you would.” |
||
− | “So it has come to this just as expected.” |
||
− | |||
− | “Don't be so delighted about it. I was only asking.” |
||
+ | “Do not just say so happily, I just asked…” |
||
− | “It was not me who made you transform just now, that was something that happens automatically. For the time being.” |
||
+ | “I was returned a while ago, automatically, how do I return at the moment?” |
||
− | “And the conditions are?” |
||
+ | “Since in addition, now it will be revealed.” |
||
− | "That is something you will become clear from now on." |
||
+ | Shit! I remember, this stuffed animal is an agent of the devil. |
||
− | This plush toy, it seems that it's going to put on airs of superiority until the bitter end. Damn it. I won't forget this. |
||
− | + | Times up. I’m going to end up at school without any breakfast. Harakiri Tora was saying “just pick up some rice to eat on the way while walking, do not mind me please.” Naturally as if anyone cares. |
|
− | I was |
+ | I was late and it was last minute, I visited a convenience store on the way. Running in to buy onigiri, I thought of eating it on the run, but I decided to stop. For the first time I can rest. |
+ | To catch up I ran intently, angling around turns. |
||
− | In order to make up for being late, I began to run in earnest. I rounded a certain corner. |
||
+ | “Uwa!” |
||
− | “Uwah!” |
||
− | + | “Kyaah!” |
|
− | + | I almost bumped into somebody, and stumbled; The other person also fell. |
|

||
+ | “S-sorry, huh?” |
||
− | “S……sorry. Huh?” |
||
− | + | Apologizing on reflex for the mistake, I see their face. What, Wow! I know this person. |

− | “I’m so sorry |
+ | “I’m so sorry, I was looking in a different direction… huh, Natsuru-san?” |
− | The other person I had |
+ | The other person I had almost ran into, was a girl. |
− | " |
+ | "I’m so glad... ah; I can't say that, can I? But because it's someone I know, I feel kinda relieved." |
− | Sakura Kaede |
+ | Sakura Kaede laughed to hide her embarrassment. |
− | She |
+ | She is slightly lower in stature, with long refreshingly shiny hair, and an elegant-curvy body. She is the idol of the school; simply put, a beautiful girl numbering in the top five, of which she was certainly at the top. I stuttered and thought to myself “good line” I’ve become a woman. |
− | She is |
+ | She is the heartthrob of many high school boys, and I also admire her; moreover many of my classmates from middle school are hardcore followers. |
+ | Sakura-san I will just say “Never mind” and wave my hand. |
||
− | I waved my hand saying “Don't worry about it” to Sakura-san. |
||
+ | “Calm down, you didn’t cause me to fall.” |
||
− | “It's fine it's fine. Since it's not as though I fell over.” |
||
− | “Is that so? Natsuru- |
+ | “Is that so? Natsuru-san’s kind as always.” |
− | + | Endure! The benefits were the same as in middle school; she called me by my first name then too. My heart was stricken, beating faster while I maintained a calm façade. |
|
− | + | “Want to go to school together?” |
|
− | + | “Sure, since I’m already late.” |
|
− | Sakura-san |
+ | Sakura-san is with me, I grinned to myself. |

||
− | + | Like this I can easily forget the crazy events from this morning. Going to school with Sakura-san makes my story almost lucky; many boys would pay to get this close to her. Unexpectedly alone, it’s like a lifetime of good luck, winning the lottery will be even less possible now. |
|
− | + | Two people walking to school; almost feels like a date. |
|
− | + | “Sounds fun Natsuru-san; did something good happen?” |
|
− | + | “Yep, I’m with Sakura-san.” |
|
− | + | I wish I hadn’t said that line, it sounds lame. Sakura-san surely won’t fall for that. |
|
− | “Aha |
+ | “Aha, I think I’m glad to have met Natsuru-san on the occasion I overslept for once too.” |
− | + | That smile only helps to her benefit; but Sakura-san, that can make a man misunderstand. |
|
− | + | Unfortunately I did not misunderstand; she has all-too-many boys who would like to go out with her, but there are no rumors about her going out with any of them. However, many good boys voices would swing for, “We cannot surpass the Tokaidatte’s fallen maple[Kaede]” it has become a school legend. However, I think there is a gap between me and Sakura-san; in other words it would be suicidal for me. Therefore I should enjoy the present situation. |
|
− | + | “This is turning into a good morning , worthy of pleasing Sakura-san.” |
