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 75: Freezing Cold

The gently falling white dust. The mountains in the distance looked like cakes covered in white chocolate…

“Ah, it’s so c-c-cold… I wasn’t expecting it to be this cold!”

Shivering, Chizuru shouted. However, preoccupied with the cold, she failed to notice the ice underfoot. Slipping, her body flew through the air.

“Careful!”

My hand reached out in vain, cutting through the air. Her face met the ground, achieving a perfect kiss with the ice.

“Uh… wahhhhh!”

Lying face down, Chizuru began to cry out loud.

It wasn’t the first time she fell and cried, but we had grown accustomed to this pattern.

“Chizuru. Don’t cry.”

I tried to lift Chizuru up with practiced ease… but…

“Huh…”

Despite my efforts, she showed no signs of getting up… as if glued to the ground…

“What’s wrong?”

Yorikoma looked over worriedly. Instead of replying, I simply lowered my gaze to show her the situation.

There lay a girl, motionless, still kissing the ice.

“Just lift her up like you always do.”

“That’s the thing, I can’t move her…”

“That can’t be. Move aside.”

Yorikoma pushed me aside and pulled Chizuru’s shoulder with a hearty “yoisho,” but…

“Uuuuuuuu!!!”

The ensuing scream was unprecedented for the usually teary Chizuru, sounding almost beastly.

“Hmm. She really won’t move.”

Even Yorikoma’s strength was insufficient. The sound of tearing seemed ominous… perhaps she was…

“Stuck.”

“Ah…”

Hibari interjected. Yorikoma hastily let go, but it was too late. Tugged between Yorikoma’s strength and the ice’s grip, Chizuru remained immobile under the snow.

“Awaawa! Sorry! My apologies! It wasn’t my fault!! Mashiro-sama told me to do it!!”

“Hey! I just said she wouldn’t move…”

“Then, Mashiro-sama, help hide the evidence! Ah, right! If we just bury her in the snow!”

In our panic, Hibari calmly spoke up.

“Why are you assuming she’s dead? She’s not bleeding. She’s just knocked out from the pain.”

While saying this, Hibari gently brushed the snow off Chizuru’s head.

“Really? Thank goodness…”

Yorikoma sighed in relief, but we couldn’t relax yet.

“But this is serious. She could actually die from the cold or suffocate.”

At Hibari’s words, our faces went pale.

True. With her face stuck to the ice, breathing was impossible, and her body temperature would drop.

“What should we do…?”

“If we forcibly peel her off, we might take all the skin off her face.”

“All the skin… off her face…”

The mere thought sent shivers down my spine.

No… that would be too gruesome!

“So, we need to melt the ice on the ground first, then carefully peel her face off.”

“Right…”

Normally, melting the ground ice would be challenging. But we had her.

“Kohaku! ………………huh?”

However, the sight that greeted us was anything but reassuring…

“Ah, so cold… Hm? What’s up? Onee-chan, it’s colder over there. Come here and talk?”

“Before that, I have a question…”

“What is it? My three sizes?”

“No. Why are you dressed so heavily…?”

Wrapped in multiple layers of winter clothes, not satisfied with just that, she had her scarf wrapped around over ten times and wore gloves fit for five.

Just looking at her made one feel overheated…

“Well, because it’s cold.”
