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 63: The Charging Guardian Dogs

Upon opening the door, a sweltering heat surged out, prompting me to instinctively turn my face away.

The room was dimly lit, with lanterns hanging from the ceiling, casting a flickering light.

Inside the shop, many customers seemed to be engrossed in gambling, shouting at each other. Some seemed to be fighting. It was a space that perfectly matched the word chaos. It was a more dangerous place than I had imagined.

I started thinking maybe I should give up. That’s when a large figure suddenly appeared in front of me.

“What are you doing here… This is no place for children.”

The figure that emerged was a towering man, likely over two meters tall.

He looked down at us intimidatingly.

I could see something like tattoos, and he didn’t seem like a good person!

“Uh… ah… uh… um…”

I was like a frog being stared down by a snake… I had to escape somehow… But my body wouldn’t move… No, I couldn’t move! Ah… it’s over… I’m going to be killed…

“I’m interested in gambling!”

Yorikoma stepped forward and shouted.

No, no, no! Yorikoma this is not a clean gambling den. We’re going to be killed! Look! The man’s temple twitched! It’s all over now…

“Are you serious?”

“Yes! Of course! I even have money here.”

Yorikoma confidently showed off a copper coin, but the man’s reaction was not very good.

“That won’t even cover the table fee.”

“Such…”

Yorikoma seemed to be in despair, kneeling, but I was secretly relieved.

Good… This should make Yorikoma give up.

“…But”

“But?”

“Should you win a bet against me, I’ll specially allow you a single game, betting a copper coin for every thousand points. If you lose, I get the copper.”

“…What?”

What is he talking about…? It was supposed to be a sorry goodbye after being kicked out!

And now… a game if I win? Why start with that…? We were about to be able to leave!

And that bet is too good for us. There must be a catch…

Maybe, after playing with us, he’ll claim it as a debt… and make us pay with our bodies…

“I’m in! Let’s do it! I’ll definitely win!”

“Wait…”

No! That’s a trap! It’s better to stop!

But my mouth wouldn’t move at all.

The man terrified me… I was beyond scared…

If I were in Japan, I would have been scared, but now, it’s incomparable.

I’m a fragile girl. Being smaller makes the man look bigger, and being a woman adds other fears besides violence.

“Alright. The bet is simple. If the copper lands heads, you win. Tails, I win. Got it?”

“Yes! That’s fine with me.”

“Awawa…”

Even as I trembled with fear, the bet proceeded.

The copper spun in the air, twirling around.

“…”

“…”

At this point, all I could do was pray.

Heads, heads, heads, tails, tails…

The copper landed in the man’s palm. Slowly, he opened his hand.

“…Heads.”

“…Yay!! We did it, Mashiro-sama!”

“Ah… ga…”

Yorikoma cheered with joy, but all I could think of was despair.

It’s over… It’s the end…

What will happen to us now…? Just thinking about it is terrifying…

“As promised… I’ll let you play one round. No more than that. If you want to play more, you’ll need money.”

“Heh. I have a god on my side, so there’s no problem. I’ll win big and move on to the next battle.”

Yorikoma smiled confidently. However, there’s no way she could win with only knowledge of big wins.

Especially in a gambling den with such an atmosphere, there’s bound to be someone who cheats.

…I had to prepare myself for the worst.
