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 40: Even So

“Ah, um…”

Silence lingered between us.

Eventually, Chizuru murmured in a trembling voice.

“Don’t touch me!”

Her slap brushed my hand away sharply.

“I’m sorry…”

The awkward silence enveloped us.

It was then that I finally realized I had made a terrible mistake.

The silence was soon broken by Chizuru’s sobbing.

“Uh… huh…”

Her choking sobs were painful to hear.

“What should I… say…”

I didn’t know what to say. Should I apologize, comfort her? I had thought she was a girl, but in reality, she was a he…

“You’re the worst.”

Her tearful eyes glared at me, her words piercing my heart like a sharp blade.

“I’m really sorry. I won’t tell anyone, I promise.”

That was all I could say.

“Lies… Everyone who said that before betrayed me, turned me into a laughingstock…”

“I won’t, I promise! Please…”

“I can’t trust you! I don’t even know you…”

Tears streamed down her cheeks like a waterfall, unending.

I didn’t know her circumstances. We had only just met. Maybe it would be better for both of us if we parted ways here. But now that I knew, there were things I couldn’t ignore.

“I’m leaving now. I’ll pay for tonight’s stay, just don’t get involved with me again…”

“Wait…”

I reached out and grabbed Chizuru’s arm as she tried to stand. She tried to shake me off, but my grip was firm.

“Let go of me!”

“I think… it doesn’t matter to me whether you have it or not, I still see you as a girl!”

“What are you talking about?!”

Her attempt to shake off my arm grew stronger, but I didn’t let go.

“I’m truly sorry for touching you. But that doesn’t change my view of you as a girl.”

“What!?”

I was initially shaken upon discovering the truth. But after thinking it over, I realized I was similar. My body was female, but my heart was male. Chizuru’s body was male, but her heart was female. If asked which was better, the answer would undoubtedly be the latter.

“And… Chizuru is cute, after all.”

“What!?”

“So… I… I don’t want to part ways just yet…”

“What are you talking about…”

“Being in the hot spring together, sleeping in the same room, I don’t mind any of that…”

“!?”

“So… I want to… stay friends for a little longer…”

I think she’s been rejected by everyone, hurt, and suffered a lot… And must have cried many times because of it.

That’s why I feel I just can’t leave her alone to make such a sad face.

“Do you really not find it disgusting?”

“Yeah…”

“Really really?”

“Yeah.”

“I see…”

Chizuru’s expression gradually softened. Looking up at her, her face was undeniably that of a girl. Even if there was a slight difference, it was just a minor discrepancy. She was unmistakably herself.

“Then… let’s go to the hot spring together… You said you don’t mind, right… I’ll confirm it for you.”

“Uh, yeah.”

My body is still warm. I feel like going into the hot spring now might lead to trouble…

But it’s for her. I have no choice. If I have to go this way, Mashiro would forgive me… probably.

“Let’s go then.”

“Yeah…”

With resolve, I start to undress. And when I’m completely naked, I catch sight of Chizuru’s body and involuntarily hold my breath.

There, without a doubt, was a beautiful girl. Even without breasts, her waist was slender, and her buttocks were tight. Her long, slender legs were beautiful, and her skin was translucently white.

“It’s weird, right… A body like this.”

“No, that’s not…”

Because of this body, what hung between her legs had a strong presence. It wasn’t something that aroused disgust. Rather, the opposite…

“Does having it make it a better deal?”

“What? Wh-what are you saying!!”

“Sorry! It’s nothing…”

It was a slip of the tongue. If she’s a girl at heart, it was a very rude thing to say… But now, I feel like I understand a bit more about the concept of “trap.”

“Come on, let’s go. It’s freezing.”

“Uh, yeah.”
