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 39: Things Better Unknown

“Sigh…”

I managed to leave the changing room unscathed despite Kohaku’s various attempts to touch me under different pretexts.

“I’m getting better at tying my obi, so maybe I can escape Kohaku’s clutches a bit now…”

I felt good, perhaps due to the bath. Walking down the corridor, which was carpeted in deep red, I made pleasant footsteps.

My steps up the stairs were like those of a dancing shrine maiden, light and seemingly defying gravity. My swaying tail spread a faint scent of detergent, tickling the noses of passing guests.

“Hehehe…”

I couldn’t help but smile.

“Onee-chan, you seem happy.”

“Do I?”

“Yeah. You’re usually more reserved, but today you seem really bright.”

“Well, maybe. It’s the first time I could enter an open-air bath with confidence.”

Kohaku’s observation was spot on.

Right now, I was just purely enjoying myself. This feeling had been continuous since the start of this trip.

“…? Oh, that’s good then.”

As I opened the sliding door with my light steps, I saw Chizuru sitting alone on a cushion.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“Welcome back…”

“What were you doing, Chizuru?”

“Nothing much… just looking out the window.”

“I see…”

“Then, I’ll go to the hot spring too.”

“Okay…”

Chizuru stood up and slipped past us, leaving the room.

“What’s with her? She was so lively while walking, and now she’s suddenly down…”

“Well, Chizuru must have her reasons.”

I began to sort out our luggage, leaving Kohaku, who looked grumpy.

“Huh…”

Then, I noticed something I had forgotten. It was something more important than money or a smartphone… Yes, my underwear.

If I were still a man, I might not have cared so much… But as a woman, it’s a different story. If a man got his hands on it, there’s no telling what he’d do with it. He could sniff it, wear it on his head, or, in the worst case, use it for that kind of thing!

“What’s wrong? Did you lose something?”

“Uh, yeah… Probably in the changing room. I’ll go get it.”

“Take care~”

I dashed out of the room, my running not as graceful as before. It was the desperate run of a man trying to protect his chastity.

“Huff… Huff…”

Out of breath, I finally reached the changing room. And when I opened the door, I accidentally bumped into someone.

“Kyah!?”

“Sorry, sorry!”

I quickly bowed my head, and there was a familiar face in front of me.

“Ma, Mashiro!? Why are you…”

It was Chizuru. She looked utterly surprised.

“No, I forgot my underwear…”

“I see… Hurry up and get it.”

“Okay…”

As I tried to stand up, I felt something soft in my right hand. It was a familiar sensation, as if I had touched it many times before.

“Eh…?”

“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

“No, but…”

Could it be… I was touching that? The panic set in as I turned my gaze to my right hand, but instead of a chest, it was near the groin area. I thought maybe I had touched her buttocks, but I was wrong. My right hand was indeed between Chizuru’s legs.

“Huh…”

“You’ve been acting strange… Are you really okay?”

“No, but this is…”

Is this… that? The rod-like object my hand was touching. The tip felt round with a slight catch… But it’s strange, Chizuru shouldn’t have that. As I was about to voice my confusion…

“Eh…?”

Chizuru’s face turned pale.
