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 79: Do Your Best!

“Hehehe… We’ve finally arrived… This is the town in question…”

“Mm. The eternal winter town… ‘Setsugen.'”

The place we had arrived at was a world of pure white. The roofs of houses and trees, and even the streets, were covered in snow, producing a crunching sound with each step we took.

“Chizuru… Are you okay? Your face is pale…”

“I-I’m fine…”

Despite her words, her complexion was as pale as a corpse’s, her nose dripping, and her body trembling.

It was clear to anyone that she was pushing herself too hard. But, stubborn as she was, she refused to show any weakness.

Having declared there would be no lodging, it was too late to turn back now.

“Really? If you want, I can lend you my scarf.”

Chizuru was the only human among us trembling in the cold.

Kohaku, despite being dressed warmly, simply disliked the cold but didn’t seem to be suffering. Of course, I didn’t feel cold at all. In fact, I felt rather warm with Kohaku clinging to me.

The visual coldness would have made me shiver in my human days.

However, the lack of coldness was probably thanks to this body.

“I don’t need it…”

Even as she said that, Chizuru’s legs were trembling so badly it seemed she might collapse at any moment.

Leaving her like this was worrying to the point of being unbearable.

“Don’t be like that, here.”

I unwrapped the blue scarf from around my neck and offered it to her.

Reluctantly, after a moment of hesitation, she accepted it.

“…Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

“…It’s warm.”

After putting on the scarf, Chizuru seemed to immediately regret it, her expression one of remorse.

“What’s wrong?”

“N-Nothing…”

Clearly, she was disturbed, but the reason was unclear. Was there something odd about it?

“Mashiro’s… scent…………….sniff…”

Hearing her whisper and seeing her sniff my scarf, her expression was one of bliss…

She couldn’t possibly be… enjoying my scent…

“Look over there.”

Following Hibari’s pointing finger, we saw a piece of paper attached to a wooden house.

“Setsugen Festival Tradition! 16th Annual! Who’s the Hottest? Ice Endurance Contest! 100 gold coins for the winner! Registration on the day of the event〜”

“The details aren’t written here, but judging by the name, it seems to be a contest of enduring the cold?”

“If that’s the case, I’m out. I hate the cold.”

Kohaku grimaced in disgust.

“I’m not very confident either.”

“I don’t like it either. Mashiro. Do your best.”

Everyone decided to opt out, leaving it all to me…

“I-I don’t really want to participate either…”

“But Chizuru is definitely out of the question. And since you seem fine without the scarf, Mashiro, you’re the most suitable.”

“Ugh…”

I never thought lending my scarf would backfire like this.

It felt like my kindness was being exploited.

“If Mashiro doesn’t do it, we’ll be without lodging forever. Think of it as for everyone’s sake and do your best.”
