After Gender Swapping, I Became the Daughter of a Yandere Mother with Animal Ears—With the Help of My Yandere Mom and Powerful Sister, I'll Live as a Fox Girl - Chapter 11: The Road
After wrapping the girl up, Mom picked her up.
“I’ll go lay her down to rest. Kohaku, please take care of Mashiro.”
“Okay.”
“Thank you.”
With that, she left the room.
“Okay, give me your arm.”
“Uh, yeah…”
I rolled up my sleeve and extended my left arm. Kohaku gently placed her white hand on it.
“Hey, Kohaku.”
“What is it?”
“That thing we saw in the forest… that monster-like creature… what was it?”
Now that things had settled, I decided to ask about something that had been bothering me.
“That was Magatsuhi, an embodiment of the calamities of this world.”
“Magatsu… hi?”
It was a term I had never heard before.
“Yes. It’s born from the evil and impurity of living beings. Once it comes into existence, it spreads disasters everywhere, perpetuating negative emotions.”
“Perpetuating?”
“Like diseases and natural disasters. Magatsuhi spreads various calamities, and those calamities in turn create more evil and impurity, leading to the birth of new Magatsuhi. It’s a cycle.”
“I see…”
I didn’t fully understand all this talk of impurity and perpetuation, but I grasped that Magatsuhi was a terrifying entity.
“So, if left alone, they’ll just keep multiplying?”
“Yep. They might even engulf the world someday.”
Her response was so casual… It seemed she wasn’t taking it as seriously as I thought. Maybe it was because of the flames she controlled.
“Then, what about that flame-like thing you were controlling? What was that?”
“Oh, that? That’s my fox fire. It’s kind of like a spell.”
Fox fire… I always thought of it as something that burned more weakly. At least, I never imagined it could create such a dramatic vortex of flames.
And a spell, huh… Like magic, maybe. So, there’s stuff like that in this world too.
“You should be able to use it too, Onee-chan… but, well, you’ve forgotten how to, right?”
“Yeah, sorry…”
“No, it’s okay. Until you can use it again, I’ll protect you!”
Kohaku placed her hand on my shoulder, declaring confidently. I could feel a strong will in her eyes.
“Thank you.”
I was grateful for her kindness. At the same time, I began to think about how I should live from now on.
Although the inside of the house was similar to Japan and comforting, the outside world held many unknowns for me. First, there was the Magatsuhi monster, then Kohaku’s powers, and Mom’s secret medicine.
None of these things existed in the world I came from. And none of them were things I could use right now. I felt like a small animal that had wandered into a cage of wild beasts.
But that’s why I thought I had to find my own way to live, no matter how difficult it might be… because surely, with Kohaku and Mom by my side, I could overcome it.

“Sigh…”
I was tired after everything that had happened. To think I’d be attacked by such a monster as soon as I stepped outside… such bad luck.
“I wonder how that girl is doing.”
I remembered the girl we had saved in the forest. I still hadn’t even asked her name.
“I hope she’s doing okay…”
Muttering to myself, I walked down the hallway to the bathroom. Even when tired, the need to urinate comes, and it seems that girls have weaker bladders than boys, needing to go more frequently.
“I’m going to leak… I’m going to leak…”
Rushing with a sense of urgency, I finally reached the bathroom and sighed in relief.
“Phew… made it.”
But, as I opened the door to enter—
“Eek…!?”
I let out an involuntary scream.
“Eh!?”
Because there, sitting inside, was that girl…
“Ah, awawa… Please don’t look! …Wait, huh?”
“Ah…”
Shocked by the unexpected encounter, I fell down on my backside.
And then—
The sound of trickling…
From between my legs, a golden stream of liquid began to flow…
