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 78: No Lodging!

“Haa… Truly, that was terrible…”

With her face swollen red, Chizuru was letting out deep sighs.

It seems her speech was slurred from having kissed the ice for quite some time. Her runny nose added to her rather pitiable state.

However, it seemed her life was not in danger, as Hibari was currently treating her.

“Falling, I can understand, but why did you cry face down on the ice? You’re causing trouble for Onee-chan, and can’t you stand up before you start crying?”

As soon as Chizuru’s treatment was finished, Kohaku showered her with cold words.

“I couldn’t help it! You might not understand, Kohaku, but falling is painful! And this time, I hit my face hard. It was painfully unbearable! I’m actually surprised I didn’t faint from the pain!”

“Huh? I’ve fallen and hit my face hard before too, but I didn’t cry out loud.”

“Ugh… That’s because Mashiro probably comforted and soothed you, right?”

“What are you talking about? No, that’s not it! I wasn’t comforted at all!”

Kohaku suddenly became flustered.

I have no such memory. That means, it must have happened before I became Mashiro.

Talking about oneself without any memory of it is a strange sensation, making my body itch uncomfortably.

“Now, now, both of you, please calm down. Fighting here is pointless. Let’s find lodging first! We can always fight later.”

Yorikoma intervened between the two. However, puzzled by her suggestion, Chizuru looked at her puzzled.

“Lodging? There’s no such thing.”

“Eh?”

“We spent quite a bit in the last town, and a lot on cold weather gear, thanks to someone who can’t handle the cold.”

“Ugh… It’s better than catching a cold…”

Kohaku turned away, avoiding eye contact under Chizuru’s glaring stare.

“So, we’ll have to camp outdoors for a while.”

“Eh!? What are you saying!? Camping out in this cold, we’ll freeze to death!”

“Endure it. We only have enough money left for food. I could consider it if you’re willing to skip your meals.”

“No way…”

Despairingly, Yorikoma slumped to the ground.

Though I’m not showing it, I feel the same way. Sleeping outside in temperatures where tears could freeze is unthinkable.

But complaining now won’t change our situation, so we have no choice but to accept it…

“Don’t worry. We’re expecting a large sum of money tomorrow.”

“Large sum? What do you mean?”

“Hehehe… It seems there’s a festival we’re heading to that offers prize money for certain events. I plan to win and take the prize money.”

Where did she hear such information?

If there’s time to hunt down such information, I think it’d be better to just work…

“So, what kind of events are they?”

“I don’t know. I only gathered information that could make us money. But whatever it is, we should be fine. We have three self-proclaimed gods and one idiot with strength.”

Such carelessness… Relying on income with no basis…

“An idiot with strength? Who could that be?”

“Who knows? But if you’re not aware, you’re the true idiot.”

“Hmm. I don’t think it’s me… Well, it doesn’t matter! Let’s aim for that prize money and do our best!”

While Chizuru and Yorikoma are full of enthusiasm, I’m filled with nothing but anxiety. Is there really such a competition, and even if there is, how can they be so optimistic?

By the day after tomorrow, we might become frozen corpses…
