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 52: A Rough Treatment
“This is…”
Upon entering, I found myself at a loss for words. The condition of the place was beyond what I could have imagined.
The tatami mats were rotting in places, with weeds poking through the gaps.
Spider webs covered the room’s corners, and a dusty smell assaulted my nostrils.
The room was barely eight tatami mats, far too cramped for five people to sleep in.
“The futons are over there; use them as you see fit…”
The older woman said, pointing towards the back. There lay a pile of dirty, tattered clothes. They seemed to have been washed, but they were very old.
“The fee is one silver coin daily, payable in advance.”
“Ah, yes…”
Though I’m not keen on handling other people’s money, I had no choice, with Chizuru unable to move.
I gently lowered Chizuru from my back and borrowed what appeared to be a silver coin from her belongings.
“Here you go.”
“Alright, don’t expect any meals or baths to be prepared for you. You’ll have to fend for yourselves.”
With that, the older woman left the room.
“Ugh, this is the worst. Even the shrine we stayed at once was better than this. If we sleep here, we might wake up with mushrooms growing all over our bodies.”
“Don’t say scary things like that, please…”
“Yeah… But Chizuru can still hardly move, and it’s not like we can just leave her here alone…”
Chizuru was still trembling on the floor, slowly shifting position due to the vibrations.
“She’s been jittery this whole time, right? Maybe a different kind of stimulus would wake her up.”
Kohaku grinned devilishly, her smile reminiscent of a demon’s.
She approached Chizuru and began to step on her face.
“Hey, Kohaku!?”
“Hmm… soft as expected. Human women are…”
Kohaku pressed down on Chizuru’s cheeks with her foot, kneading them.
I wanted to protest that Chizuru was not a woman but a man, but the shock of someone else treating him this way was too overwhelming, and I couldn’t find the words.
“Come on, wake up. You scaredy-cat. If you don’t get up soon, we’ll turn you into a mushroom bed here.”
“Ugh… Ah…”
With a pained voice, Chizuru’s consciousness returned.
“What… is this…”
It seemed to take Chizuru a moment to understand his situation, which was understandable. After all, he was being stepped on.
“Who does that? Who wakes up to being stepped on?”
“What are you doing?!”
“Just giving a crybaby and a klutz a rough treatment, that’s all.”
“That’s all? You can’t just stomp on people!”
Finally catching up, Chizuru shook off Kohaku’s foot and stood up, furious.
“Huh? Why are you mad? We’re the ones being inconvenienced here.”
“But… I apologize for that, but that’s a separate issue!”
“It’s not a separate issue. It’s your punishment.”
“Let’s all calm down…”
Seeing the argument could go on all night, I intervened.
“Arguing is a waste of time. Kohaku, you wanted to leave here quickly, right?”
“Hmph.”
“And Chizuru, you’re okay now, right?”
“Yeah…”
Though Chizuru was still not quite convinced, he reluctantly agreed…
