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

“Onee-chan?”

Startled, I turn around to find the fox-eared girl from earlier, apparently finished with her business.

“Ah… um…”

“Are you okay?” she asks, looking at me with concern. To avoid her gaze, I quickly look down.

“Uh… I’m fine…”

“Really? That’s good. Shall we go back then?”

She says this and begins to walk, pulling my hand.

“Go back? Where?”

“Back to the room, of course.”

The girl looks puzzled.

“Why?”

“Because… you still need to rest, right?”

“No, but…”

“It’s fine, let’s go.”

She keeps pulling me along.

“Wait… just a minute…”

I resist, but it’s no use. It’s like being a child again. Eventually, she drags me back to the room.

“Here we are. Now, sleep.”

“Wait… I’m not even sleepy…”

“No, you need to rest. You look tired.”

Ignoring my reluctance, she forcefully pushes me into the futon.

“Whoa!”

I’m startled by the suddenness, but soon, a blanket is thrown over me, and she gently strokes my head. Her warm, gentle touch soothes me, and I let myself relax. Sleepiness soon overtakes me.

“Good night… Onee-chan.”

“Uh… mm…”

☆★☆

I wake up, realizing it’s already dark outside.

“It wasn’t a dream…”

It seems unlikely to fall asleep and wake up in a dream again.

As I get up, I feel something stirring in the futon.

“…!”

A chill runs through me. Cautiously, I checked inside the futon and found the young girl sleeping, cuddled up to me.

“Mm…”

She rolls over in her sleep and then opens her eyes.

“Ah… Onee-chan… good morning…”

“Good morning…”

Regaining my composure, I take a closer look at her. I can’t help but wonder if she’s my sibling.

Like me, she has fox ears and a tail, but hers are a gleaming gold that fades to white at the tips.

Though our clothes are similar, her hakama is red, not blue, perhaps to match her ruby-like red eyes.

She’s about the same height as me, but her chest is… a bit larger than mine…

“Is something wrong?”

“Eh? No… nothing…”

“Okay… if you say so…”

“Uh-huh…”

Silence falls. I don’t know what to say…

“Onee-chan…”

“What…?”

“Let’s go eat dinner!”

The girl gently took my hand and stood up, then led me out of the room.

“Uh? Wait a minute…”

“Come on, hurry up!”

She pulled my hand and proceeded down the corridor. After walking for a while, we reached the end of the long hallway. In front of us was a wooden door. The girl opened it and invited me inside.

The room was covered with tatami mats, creating a warm atmosphere. A wooden counter separated it from the kitchen, and in the center, there was a low dining table with cushions placed around it. A person, who I presumed to be my mother, was sitting there in seiza, waiting.

“Oh, you finally arrived.”

“Come on, come on! Sit down!”

“Uh…”

The girl, still holding my hand, made me sit in front of the low table and then sat down beside me.

“Here, enjoy your meal.”

In front of us were steaming dishes, each shining with a delicious glow.

“I’ll begin then.”

I hesitantly picked up the chopsticks and brought a piece of fish to my mouth. The moment it touched my tongue, a delicious flavor filled my mouth.

“Delicious…”

I couldn’t help but murmur.

“Hehe… Thank you. There’s plenty more, so keep eating.”

“Yeah…”

I continued to eat the meal as suggested.

But then…

“…Something’s off.”

The girl on my right suddenly spoke up.

“Eh?”

She intently looked at my right hand, which was holding the chopsticks.

“My sister… always holds her chopsticks in her left hand!”

She pointed at my right hand emphatically.

“Eh…”

“It’s definitely strange! Staring into the mirror, making weird noises in the bathroom… Perhaps when you fell, something evil possessed you…”

“That’s ridiculous. You must be tired, that’s all.”

“…”

I couldn’t respond. After all, a thirty-year-old man had possessed me. What she was saying wasn’t wrong at all.

“No, it must be a possession. We need to perform a cleansing…”

She stood up, intending to go somewhere.

“Stop that nonsense! It’s just superstition. Isn’t it enough that you’ve recovered?…”

As the girl reached for the handle, her mother scolded her.

“But…”

“There are no buts! Just sit down and eat your meal.”

“…”

“Understood?”

“Yes…”

The girl reluctantly sat down and resumed eating.

The atmosphere was heavy. The dishes, which shone brightly before, now seemed like objects with steam rising from them. I felt guilty for causing such a mood.

I had to do something…

I gathered my courage and spoke.

“Um… actually…”

It was scary to tell the truth. But I couldn’t keep hiding it forever.

If I didn’t say it now, I would regret it. Just like in society, I always regretted staying silent. I had to speak directly.

“…Ever since I woke up, my memory’s been strange.”

“Eh?”

Both turned to look at me upon hearing my words.

“I mean… who I am… why I’m here… I can’t remember anything…”

“Is that… true?”

“Yes…”

My mother looked at me in shock.
