Vol 1 Chapter 1 (1/2)

Chapter 1

When I woke up early in the e woman in the mirror

Everything was the saht I had openedthe faucet to washback at me

She was probably sixteen or seventeen year old She had pitch black hair and neat firht nose hite skin typical of a japanese person Judging froe it would be appropriate to describe her as a beautiful girl on the brink of beco a beautiful woman, such was the reality of the beauty in front of azine, her appearance would have it reaching the top of the charts without a hitch

However even that face was displaying a perplexed expression

I guess it was only natural to be perplexed At any rate even I was astonished at this situation

In the first place it was currently earlyMoreover it was a weekday Given that I was just an uninteresting high school student, it is unexpected that so like that would take place after school Nevertheless, I ah thelike a miracle

While not on the level of a wild rose bush, since I have unruly bed hair that stands up,My parents would point atloudly atfor any opportunity to object, hadme at home alone My hairstyle that had become an object of ridicule for allin the e of affir that it was still the same as always

(What had happened……)

Given that it was still irl being beforeI still can't believe

(Is the world reflected by the mirror real……?)

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

Presu to find a cute girl beside your pillow” situation that people drea jokes with irl will appear froined that I'd encounter it in reality

As one would expect of japan[1] The country of Kotodama[2]

Nevertheless, encountering such a sight in reality, as expected it is quite surprising I do prefer girls who look quite pretty, but for one to appear without any warningQuite possibly, this could be considered trespassing

The girl wasn’t saying anything Since she was an intruder, she probably wouldn’t be able to speak japanese She seemed reserved or rather surprised Her eyes had been opened wide for some time now

It was not unreasonable though To encounter awith her to soed to co water I was planning to splash some water on my face to calm down

”Ha?”

What ith this chick? That she would wash her face at the same time as me Was this merely a coincidence, or is this harassment?

Looking in the irl's“Ha”

A bad premonition filled my mind

Occasionally I have a sharp intuition I had experienced this feeling before When ht before I received a failing grade in four consecutive subjects I was naturally very sad afterwards Could the turtle have sensed so?

Re completely motionless, I timidly reached my hand towards my cheek

The girl was also reaching her hand towards her cheek

In spite ofovercoht hand

As before the girl was also pinching her cheek

My pre dark clouds, which enveloped my mind Maybe, just maybe That was me, could that really be?

While trying to calh with a vice, I breathed deeplyOnce, twice At once,violently stepped on, I becaer around like a drunk

At this point I helda screaer and thumb

My cheek was inflicted with unthinkable pain

“O-o-ouch!!”

I rolled around while screairl on the other side of thearound

By now there was no doubt Standing up, I looked down at my own chest in the mirror

What existed there was a beautiful pair of abundant mounds one would hardly expect to find on a man

“UWAA!!”

I raised as probably the largest scream of my life

“……Why did I become a woman?!!”

Myself as in the

Shouldn't I call down first? For what reason did such a thing happen?

I am Senou Natsuru, a seventeen year old second year student in high school Slender and of rades were really good, and then there was another tiht in thee Even if I auy that you can find anywhere The only thing I take pride in is that ht in both eyes exceeds 12 Or to put it the other way, there was nothing else I could take pride in That's quite sad

Speaking of things I lack I've never had a girlfriend either Both my eleirls they would all pass ahead of ards to this it irl” written across my chest

Even though that's what one would expect

To be able to have had a relationshi+p with a girl That would have been nice You can say it would likely be delightful However, while I have been ”wishi+ng for a girlfriend”, that was no reason fora man”

“UWAAAA!”

I screa to change the situation

Calm, be calm I earnestly try to persuade myself

Since I had already screaoing forward My throat was sore It seeony for a number of hours, but in reality it had been just under ten minutes But for the current me, that was the time it had taken for me to start to comprehend what had happened

To start with for what reason have I turned into a woman?

I have absolutely no idea how this happened I’ve neither received hormone injections, nor have I even been to Morocco Nowadays by doing a search on the internet, it's sih plastic surgery, but even with all the benefits of IT so to this extent isn't possible[3]

Well then what is this? The comeback of candid camera?

I peered into the loomy expression

“……Showing such an expression, it spoils a beautiful person“

I let slip so to myself?

She is pretty nevertheless Attentively, I pondered such things When it coue ie in one's mind, you could say confidently that it would reseht there at the moment, there's just reason to say that ”spot on resemblance” is more accurate than ”more or less”

If I were to encounter her in town, it goes without saying that Iwith her If it wasn't myself that is

I had been looking down at whatat those extre else that captivated me

“……A sailor uniform!?”

Worn by girls, those ear the sailor uniforeneration

I intoif I waited until after breakfast since I'd be in a hurry Since I usually oversleep, it goesHowever I don’t reirls Naturally I didn't even own such things Regarding those that have a passion for the sailor unifore of thirty

“This is our school’s uniform……”

It was exactly like the uniform of those who attended his school, to the point you could say it was the very thing itself

At any rate it's quite ood thing, I a clothes Does that ed my clothes? If that's the case already, I'd like hiht now and return my male clothes That uniform wasn't cheap

At any rate it was a sailor unifor men wear, it included an unfashi+onable blazer Furthermore there was a skirt

“……Skirt……”

An unpleasant pre of anticipation, stirred within my mind

I realized that there was nobody around, yet I still restlessly checked the vicinity Confir I was the only one around, I slowly put my hands to the hem of my skirt

I flipped it up, and peeked under

“……It’s a woman’s!”

What the hell The outco the Ito-Yokado sale the other day, the briefs I bought with three 1000 yen bills, they had becoed hs On top of that they have light blue stripes Why are they striped of all things?

I considered looking at hts It's absolutely certain that I a a bra

In spite of the despair I felt over the excessive results, I slowly returned to my room Not just myself but my clothes as well had beco that went ”The body is no more than the clothes[5]”, but the result is the same either way

Having entered the room, I dropped onto my rear end with a petan[6]

A pretty girl was squatting with her legs in the shape of the character ハ Fro spectacle, but I was currently by myself It was unthinkable for

Slowly, I gazed over at the clock on top of the desk The digital nuo to school soon, won’t you be late?”

'Of course I realize that,' I replied to the clock To go to school in this situation To go as a female When the entire world believed Senou Natsuru to be a younglike thisas that would be, I'd be a murderer after three seconds

That’s not all My classmates would be horrified as well No, it wouldn't be surprising even if they even sprouted hair from their hearts[7] It's possible that to make up for it that I'd be sold off of It'd definitely be so like a hostess bar or a country of foahts on account of hts apply to men who metamorphose into women

I was atto mind What would I do from now on

Suddenly, I felt so uncomfortable

(……?)

I looked ata pale blue light I had no

Trying to touch it, I found it cool to the touch It was made of uess

”What's this……”

”It is proof”

”EEK!”

Hearing a voice co position

Turning ht to be living alone, could there be someone here?

”Over here Here”

In the direction of the voice, there was a plush toy

A h in this case it couldn't be helped Moreover this one was extremely unusual

There are scars here and there on its face like that of a Yakuza[9], with one eye covered with an eye patch There were fangs sprouting froer, which were quite stiff Jutting out from its abdomen were realistically reproduced intestines

This is the “Entrail Ani that was part of a commercial line of products for a certain company, the entirety of whose product line was constructed along the concept of poor looking ani out

The manufacturer who produced the merchandise had their stock prices take a nosedive i its release, and to this day there is still no sign of recovery They received a lot of pushback from the shareholders, yet they continued to be stubborn in spite of this I honestly don't want it either, but since it is so myself to throw it out

The plush toy ”Harakiri Tora”[10], the fifth in the entrail ani its o

”You finally became aware of me huh”

It was a woman’s voice It was somewhat shi+zuka-chan-ish Moreover it's the new version[11] I was feeling extremely uncomfortable as a result of the entrail animal's appearance

”What is on your are Bracelet[12]”

[……Pledge?]

”Due to this being attached to your arm, your power is assured It will allow you to dereatest power in battle”

“Wait, wait a minute, wait!”

I hurriedly wavedsome cryptic words

”It's inco to a plush toy? For what is it that I'? In the first place why am I a woman?”

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 littleto a plush toy?

Harakiri Tora scratched its eyepatch

”Is it not clear to you?”

“It's clear to you?”

“Should I explain starting from the creation of the world?”

“I'm not interested in the Bible What on earth is this?”

“Err, this is”

Harakiri Tora continued speaking with shi+zuka-chan’s voice

“you are now a Kämpfer[13]”

“Haa?”

Is that all this plush toy has to say

“Kähty power assured by the Pledge Bracelet, you will deci”

“……I don't understand it all that well”

It felt like soame I once played

“So theses Käht?”

“That is correct”

“I've become one of these Kämpfer?”

”Yes”

“And I fight with an enemy?”

”Of course”

”Without knowing the reason?”

”That's right”

Without saying a word, I grabbed Harakiri Tora and threw her into the trash can

“Waa, what did you do that for?”

“Shaddup! Such an explanation, I can't possibly understand when all you say is 'of course' and 'yes'! Just go to sleep!”

It was all iven 100 yen and ordered, ”Go save the world with this”

Having turned into a wo with a plush toy, if only all of this would turn out to be a bad drea that never happened

”In any case it cannot be helped”

A voice was coe can

“Since after all you have been chosen”

“Is that believable?”

Even on the edge of consciousness, I was replying

“It ought to be believable Right noouldn't you agree that you are a girl?”

Being told this, I once again looked over myself It was a woman's body in a sailor suit

“Look look That should make you understand”

“……Not yet”

I crossedthe trash can

“This woreement?”

“There is no way to be a Kä a woman”

“I was a man!”

“And therefore your body becairls”

“Can't you have an alternative be selected instead?”

“Of course not”

The trash can (that Harakiri Tora was inside of), spoke as though it was someone else's problem

I reached into the trash and retrieved the plush doll In any case, I can't afford to throw it out I put it back on the desk

“Thanks It is quite cramped in that trash can”

It was really quite becoh

”That aside, what's the deal with this bracelet?”

“The Pledge Bracelet is the sign that identifies you as a Kämpfer When it shi+nes, you will become a Kämpfer”

I began exaain There was no seaone about putting it on

“Oh, you cannot take it off”

Harakiri Tora spoke as though it had seen through hts

“It cannot be removed except under extre a Kämpfer”

“Hoould I remove it?”

“Dying for example”

“OI!”

Saying so like that is worthless

“Please think of it as an accessory It's not that heavy”

For certain, it was so light that that I didn't feel any additional burden on my wrist

“Why is it blue?”

“Are you not pleased with it?”

”Red would be good It's possible I could become three times as fast[14]”

“That is significant However I wasn't taught that”

It let out a suppressed laugh To be speaking like that with shi+zuka-chan's voice, it ry

“Back to the previous discussion Why do Käht? And who?”

“It is because they exist for the sake of fighting That is reality”

Sensing I was about to toss it into the trash again, Harakiri Torashe hurriedly added one

“For Kä is their only raison d'être They have been specialized explicitly for combat You were the optimal person for this Therefore you were selected”

“……Even though I'ree that I' In ay am I the most suitable for this?”

“Could you ask the one that to the person who chose you?”

“You didn't chose me?”

“You were chosen by a Moderator”

Moderator Who is that?

“It is the one whose duty is to pick out people with the right qualities You were perfectly suited”

“What are you supposed to be then?”

“I aers still spoken of in legend An angel so to speak”

“So off its entrails?”

Such awful taste Devout Christians would probably get angry if they saw this

This is what the story appears to be That is to say, I was chosen by the Moderators to be a Kämpfer There's a bracelet as proof, and I take on the forht

“It seeht”

The plush doll’s tone had beco at it with absolute hatred

“So, although I’ve been asking for a while, you haven't explained for what purpose I'd be fighting for”

“……”

“Are you trying to imitate a plush doll?”

I was ruhter somewhere I don't s useful to have Such as setting fire to synthetic fibers

“Fire is not alright Vinyl gives off a terrible smell when it burns”

“Weren't you not speaking?”

I produced the lighter froas

“Therefore can you please stop”

“Why don't you also beg in the voice of shi+zuka-chan like before?”[15]

I can't say it out loud, but the present

“As a ht?”

“You're speaking like that now?”[16]

“Since the Moderators are stingy, they haven't informed me of that I wasn't that curious either”

”You serve no purpose None other than having your entrails gushi+ng out of your stomach”

“It is because I am a plush toy”

I put the lighter away in my skirt pocket It doesn't matter to h

“But hey, since I a, then I would assuht?”

“That is so”

“Who is it?”

“That's confidential”

“This motherfucker”

I do not knohether this is manly, but for the moment I cursed like this

“By now you should understand Since you assuredly are a Kämpfer”

The only thing I could understand was that there didn't seeht

I once again grabbedtold I have to fight as this thing called a Käree to so like!?

“Hahhahha Looks like you cannot accept this reality”

That's obvious You dare to laugh in such a carefree way about this In the first place I've never before believed that the things this plush doll was explaining existed as part of reality

“However this is indeed reality You are a Kämpfer just as I told you It is all true without any falsehood”

“…………”

“Can you not accept this?”

Well I must admit

“It see to understand at any rate Since after all you assuredly are a Kämpfer”

I gazed into Harakiri Tora’s eyesThis guy's talk seeus no matter how you look at it However it didn't seeeous ulterior motive

If I were to believe the words of this guy, I had been selected to become this kind of existence The fact I had become a woman was proof of this Moreover I was told that this for

Even so the idea of fighting gives uy's intention to to insist uponthe reason?

“This is what you becoht”

Said Harakiri Tora

“Having been chosen as a Käht is unconditional”

“Why is it that I ht?”

”It will be clear soon enough”

Only at times like this does the plush doll become full of self-confidence It's a tendency of shi+zuka-chan

Feeling that anySince even if I were to continue asking, it wouldn't say much more than that Also it would probably just pretend to be a plush toy again

I gazed over at the clock I was on the verge of being late”

“Oh, that's the !”

“That's enough, please withhold any further questions?”

“I'll burn you Do I have to remain as a woman?!”

I have to go to school already Now that's it's co breakfast, so why don't you finally answer irl + a sailor uniforame

”Is it painful being a woman?”

“That's a !”

”Although it is possible to revert you to being a man”

Ihter Mina a boy as usual?

“Oi get on with it already”

“In order do this you absolutely ht”

“What's up with that?”

“It is a sihts successively, you will have no more enemies, and hence you will have no reason to turn into a female In that case you can remain a man permanently”

“I see……wait, isn't that a considerably long way off!”

“But your ould come true in that case”

“You co of io to school like this!”

“Hmm”

Harakiri Tora had been conte for a short while

“There is no other way I will teach you a way to return to your original form instantly”

“That’s it, teach me No, please teach me!”

I had grabbed ahold of the plush toy The present me was prepared to bow my head as many times as it takes towards the shi+zuka-voiced Harakiri Tora

“You are quite impatient”

“What do you expect of an Edokko[17] Teach me immediately Hurry up already!”

“Well then please close your eyes”

“Alright”

As I was told, I closed both eyes Only Harakiri Tora’s voice could be heard

“Well then, here I go”

Go? What is she doing?

An instant after I began to experience doubt, I suffered a severe blow to ion

A throbbing pain came from the base of my abdomen This da to burn her for sure With those final thoughts, the inside of my head became pitch black

“HAH!”

My eyes awakened

I ju aside the futon, I ended up falling back onto the bed

Bed? I looked around the inside of the roo scenery

I tie

Hurriedly getting out of bed, and peered into the television that was not receiving electricity Since my room has no mirror, I use this as a substitute

There was nothat it was myself, as there was a man's face there

A great joy surged from the depths of my heart

“Ah… I did it!”

I raised a shout of ten-thousand year old quality[18] I a was as it had been There exists no such beings as Kämpfer

While ju up and down I approached the front of the desk

”You, it was all a lie huh That you were returning me to normal”
