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 70: Development

“I-I’m sorry, Onee-chan… I never imagined you’d be that frightened… I’m truly… sorry…”

With teary eyes, Kohaku repeatedly bowed her head.

But this time, even I, as expected, couldn’t easily forgive her.

I never thought even someone like the perverted Kohaku would lay a hand on me when I was vulnerable… Frankly, it’s quite shocking.

It’s like I was foolishly believing in her even a little…

“Um… I’m truly sorry… so please, don’t hate me… Onee-chan…”

“…”

“If Onee-chan wasn’t here, I couldn’t go on living…”

As I remained silent, Kohaku finally burst into tears. It might be the first time I’ve seen Kohaku, who’s usually so strong, so despondent.

Even though I’m the victim here, seeing her so tragically distressed makes me feel like I’ve done something wrong…

“Kohaku, you should think a bit more about other people’s feelings.”

“Other people’s… feelings?”

“Yeah, that’s right. Mainly mine… and also, poor Yorikoma was just keeping watch, and you set fire to him.”

Kohaku’s expression changed abruptly. It seems she’s realized how cruel her actions were.

“Ugh… but, I wanted to see Onee-chan… that’s why…”

With her large ears drooping down, she lowered her gaze. Seeing her like this makes me feel a little guilty, but I steel my heart and speak firmly.

I can’t afford to be lenient here. If I don’t speak sternly now, she’ll repeat the same mistakes…

“But that’s no excuse. No matter what reason you have, you can’t set fire to people. Isn’t that obvious?”

“Yeah…”

“It’s not like I hate you, Kohaku. In fact, I like you.”

She’s been with me since I woke up in this world. So, not just as Mashiro, but also as me, Kohaku is an important presence.

That’s why I want her to grow up straight without losing her way.

I want her to always be by my side, protecting me. I want her to be a reassuring presence.

I don’t want her to be someone whose presence fills me with fear.

“But, if you continue to be so self-centered, even I’ll end up hating you.”

“Ugh… ugh…”

“So from now on, think more about others and act accordingly. Got it?”

“Sob… okay…”

“There, there…”

As I stroke her head, Kohaku hugs me tightly, letting out small sobs.

I gently embrace her. I’ve always been the one being comforted, but today, comforting her won’t bring any punishment, I suppose.

“Feeling better?”

“Yeah… thank you.”

“Don’t mention it.”

As Kohaku moves away from me, her cheeks flush, and she avoids eye contact, fidgeting and intertwining her fingers as if hesitant to say something.

“What’s wrong?”

“Um… well… if I make sure Onee-chan doesn’t dislike me, will you play with me… together?”

“Yeah, sure.”

“Yay! It’s a promise! So then, I’ll learn some techniques that’ll make Onee-chan feel good right away!”

“Huh?”

Excitedly, Kohaku stands up and skips away while humming a tune.

I’m left alone in the room…

Does she really understand… that? It’s really unsettling…

“But still… a technique more pleasant than that…”

To be honest, the belly tickling just now was quite nice… It felt more stimulating and intense than any pleasure I experienced in my past life.

Feeling scared wasn’t about Kohaku, but about myself getting lost in unknown pleasure…

Thinking about anything beyond that makes my body heat up.

“N-No, no… If this continues, I might even become a girl at heart…”

I shake my head to dispel such thoughts.

But, I made a promise with Kohaku, so even if something similar happens next time, it can’t be helped! Yeah, it can’t be helped!

Ugh… I wonder when Kohaku’s technique will be ready… Not like I’m eagerly anticipating it or anything!

“Huff… huff…”

“Why are you breathing so heavily?”

“Eek!”
