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 71: Good Night

“Why are you panting like that?”

“Hyaaaah?!”

Suddenly addressed from behind, completely off-guard, I let out a pathetic yelp.

Panic-stricken, I turned around to find a seven-colored bird staring at me with genuine curiosity.

“Hibari!? Since when were you there!? And how did you get here?”

“Hmm. I’ve been here from the start. Inside the closet. I thought it was dangerous to leave the sick Mashiro alone.”

“From the start… Including the interaction with Kohaku?”

“Hmm.”

“What…”

What a predicament… Not only did Kohaku humiliate me, but to have been witnessed in such a state…

This is terrible… My body’s burning up… The thought of someone seeing me take pleasure from having my navel tickled… It’s beyond any embarrassment imaginable!

So embarrassed I could die! I wish for a hole to crawl into or, even better, to dig one myself and bury myself alive. Just end me!

“Abyaaaa!”

It’s over. The end.

There’s no other choice but to die! After being seen like that, death is the only option. I can’t recover from this!

“It’s okay. It’s not that embarrassing. It might not be normal to find your navel pleasurable, but that’s part of your uniqueness. And being seen… think of it in a positive light.”

“Positive?”

“Yes. Doesn’t the thought of being watched excite you? At least for me… ah… it’s exciting…”

Hibari’s breath quickens, and her face flushes red.

That might be the case for Hibari, but I’m not excited! Well, I felt hot when I imagined it, but this isn’t excitement. It’s shame.

First of all, there’s nothing positive about it!

“You’ve become quite girlish, haven’t you?”

“I have not! I’m just… pretending…”

“But your voice just now was totally that of a girl’s. When you were being tickled at your navel, you were making such cute sounds, and the way you were desperately squirming… it was just like a real girl…”

“Stop… don’t say any more…”

I want to die…

No, it’s no exaggeration to say I’m already dead.

As a man… I’m… gone…

“It’s okay to be a girl, I think.”

“Uh… but…”

“You can’t go back to being a man anyway, might as well accept it and it’ll be easier, right?”

“That’s… true, but…”

Indeed, since I can’t go back, becoming mentally female might be easier. However, for someone who has lived as a man for thirty years, it’s not something I can easily come to terms with.

“Besides, being a girl has its perks. You should enjoy it.”

“Like what?”

“Well… you have one more hole? No, in Mashiro’s case, with the navel, that’s two extra perks.”

“That’s terrible!”

“Eh?”

She looks puzzled, not understanding why she’s being scolded.

Her thought processes are off the charts… Definitely not that of a normal person…

“Are you blushing because you’re shouting? That means you’re embarrassed, right?”

“It’s not that…! I just thought that naughty things aren’t good!”

“Hmm… well, let’s leave it at that.”

She doesn’t seem convinced, but she doesn’t intend to pursue the matter further.

After dealing with the sadistic Kohaku, now I have to deal with masochistic Hibari. Am I going through some sort of boss rush?

“So, why did you come out of the closet?”

Trying to steer the conversation back on track, I ask, and Hibari’s expression brightens as if she remembered her original purpose.

It seems she had forgotten her actual intention.

“Ah, that’s right. I came here to fulfill my duty as a mama.”

“Mama duty?”

Out of all the crazy statements she’s made, now she’s bringing up being a mama… It’s utterly incomprehensible…

“Yes. I thought I’d sing a lullaby so Mashiro could sleep.”

“Ah… okay…”

Somewhat relieved by the surprisingly sane statement, I was still taken aback.

But I am mentally thirty years old… Even with a lullaby, I’m not at an age where I can easily fall asleep.

However, it feels wrong to refuse the offer. I should probably just listen graciously.

“Then, please go ahead…”

“Leave it to me. I’ve memorized the lyrics properly.”

“Okay.”

Taking a small deep breath, Hibari slowly began to hum.

“~♪”

Surprisingly, she had a beautiful singing voice. Not her usual clueless tone, but beautiful, clear, unblemished, almost angelic… It felt nostalgic… like a mother’s voice.

Enveloped in the pleasant melody and soft tone, I slowly closed my eyes.

Hmm… I’m starting to feel sleepy…

“~♪”

Her crystal-clear voice seemed to penetrate directly into my mind, feeling incredibly soothing…

I wanted to keep listening forever… That’s how I felt…

My consciousness… is fading… The line between reality and dreams blurs…

What am… I doing… again…?

“Zzz…”

“Good night… In the world of dreams too, I wish for your happiness…”
