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

“Then… let’s go…!”

With Mashiro’s shout, I kicked off the ground hard. I closed the distance to Magatsuhi in an instant. Having unleashed its inner power, my body brought Magatsuhi within striking range in a blink.

“Haah!!”

With that momentum, I made a swift slash with my right blade. A blue trajectory arced through the air, slicing the space.

“GYAAAHH!!”

It felt like slicing through tofu. Before the azure flames, even its tough scales were meaningless.

Using the force from swinging the sword, I twisted mid-air and rotated, sweeping the left blade across. Normally, the hard scales would hinder such a naive slash, making it impossible to inflict a wound. However, the strike, powered by Mashiro’s strength, easily severed the scales.

“GUAAAHHH!!!”

A scream that shook the earth echoed through the cave. Normally, such a thunderous noise might have stopped me, but not now. I turned fear into strength and swung my right blade again. Then, left—right—left… like a dance, I continuously sliced.

“GUOOOH!!”

Magatsuhi, in desperation, tried to bite with its fangs. But it was a bad move.

“Too slow…!”

The left easily parried the bite even if the right blade didn’t make it in time. The deflected fangs cut through the air and deeply embedded into the ground.

Its gaping mouth was easy to slice through. I swiftly slid the fire blade inside its mouth, dividing the upper and lower jaws.

“GUOOH!?”

That mouth would no longer serve as a weapon. I unleashed a relentless barrage of strikes against a Magatsuhi now deprived of its offensive capabilities.

“Hahh!!”

The giant body was etched with countless wounds. Its regenerative abilities couldn’t keep up with the increasing damage. Its movements gradually weakened. Just a little more…!

“Nah…?”

As I raised my blade for the final strike, my vision was engulfed in purple liquid. Probably poison. Even knowing this, I was already mid-air, unable to evade.

This is bad…!

In a split-second decision, I crossed my arms to guard. But then…

“It’s okay…”

I heard Mashiro’s voice. In the next moment, the liquid stopped right before my eyes. No, not just the drink, but the entire world, except for us, had stopped.

“What’s happening…”

“Explanation later! For now, let’s tear that thing apart!”

The sensation of everything but myself being frozen was surreal. Unprotected, Magatsuhi was right before me.

Even as I struck it, there was no sensation of it moving or being cut. Nevertheless, I continued swinging my blades relentlessly.

And when the hundredth consecutive strike left a net-like pattern… the world regained its colors again.

“Let’s reduce that impurity to nothing, leaving no trace behind—Shin Sō Enbu (Divine Funeral Flame Dance)!”

“In the suspended time, the slashes I had made began to move, instantly turning Magatsuhi into a diced steak. Entwined in azure flames, the pieces were completely burned to ashes, leaving no chance for regeneration.

“We did it…!”

“Ah, yeah…”

As Mashiro left my body, I felt all my strength drain away.

“Haah… Haah…”

Sweat poured from my entire body. I felt exhausted and drained like I had just sprinted full force. I couldn’t even stand and collapsed on the spot.

“Hey!”

Hiiro ran over to me.

“Haha… seems like I’m a bit tired…”

“You…”

She looked down at me, her expression tinged with worry. Was she concerned about me…?

“What are we going to do… Without that sword, we can’t fight tomorrow!”

That’s what she was worried about… The intense battle made me forget that I had shortened her sword.

“I’m sorry… It was an emergency… I’ll get a replacement, please forgive me…”

“Fool. A replacement sword won’t do. Well, that can be said for life, too…”

“Eh? What did you say…?”

“N-nothing! I’m saying I forgive you! I’ll get my sword; you don’t need to do anything.”

Hiiro spoke rapidly, then turned away.

Maybe she’s embarrassed?… Despite her harsh words, she’s a kind person…

“What are you grinning about?”

“Nothing…”

“…”

After a moment of silence, I heard voices calling my name.

“Onee-chan!”

“Mashiro-sama!”

Kohaku and Yorikoma were looking for me. I wanted to answer them loudly, but I didn’t even have the strength.

“They’re over here!”

Hiiro called out for me. Kohaku and Yorikoma quickly made their way to us.

“Onee-chan! I was worried about where you went!”Ahaha… Sorry. I tried to chase after you two and fell off a cliff… But thanks to that, I found the mirror. Look.”

I took the mirror out of my pocket.

“Haah, you really shouldn’t do dangerous things. Onee-chan always seems like she’s about to die when I’m not around.”

“Haha… Yeah. I’ll be more careful from now on.”

“Let’s go back. It’s so damp here; it’s making me feel sick.”

“Yeah.”

I struggled to get up. I wasn’t fully recovered, but I couldn’t stay here any longer.

“Whoops.”

I stumbled, still weakened from the battle.

“I’ll lend you a shoulder! I’m confident in my strength, you know.”

“Thanks.”

Such interactions would have been unimaginable when I was in Japan. Is it because my body is Mashiro’s, or…

“Alright, let’s fly to the exit!”
