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 80: Easygoing

“Even so, this town… it feels different from the places we’ve been before, doesn’t it?”

“Do you think so? I personally don’t feel much of a difference.”

“The areas we’ve been to before had a warm climate. But this place is extremely cold. It’s only natural that the atmosphere would be different.”

“That’s true, but… it’s like… there’s no feeling of being closed in… Yeah… there are no walls…!”

In the towns we’ve been to before, there would have been high outer walls, but here, instead, there’s just an endless white silver world.

Perhaps because of that, it feels more open than any town we’ve visited so far.

“That’s certainly true. Normally, there would be barriers for Magatsuhi countermeasures.”

“Hmm. That’s evidence of the thinness of impurity in this area. Since Magatsuhi doesn’t spawn here, there’s no need for walls for Magatsuhi countermeasures.”

“I see…”

Impurity is something that normally can’t be seen with the eye.

But, by paying attention to the finer details, it’s possible to visualize the impurity of an area based on its characteristics.

“It’s amazing there’s such a pure town despite the number of people here…”

As Yorikoma said, it seems that the thinness of impurity doesn’t mean there are no people. Just looking around, I can see quite a number of people.

“Hmm. But that’s quite inconvenient.”

“Why is that?”

“Remember why we came here.”

“Let’s see… to win the festival and get the prize money!”

Yorikoma answered energetically, but Hibari looked utterly dissatisfied with that response…

“No. We came here pursuing that woman. Are you not only foolish but also forgetful?”

“No, no! Of course, I remember! How could I forget something so important! Geez. It was just a little joke. Ahaha…”

I see. This guy definitely forgot. His eyes are swimming, and he’s even sweating. So obvious…

“More importantly! Why is that inconvenient?”

“That’s simple. Because she can control Magatsuhi. We don’t know what she intends to do, but if she brought Magatsuhi here, this town would easily be destroyed.”

Even Hibari, who claims to come from the future, can’t predict her exact actions. Maybe it’s due to the butterfly effect or something about world lines…

“…destroyed.”

Until just now, Yorikoma had been spirited, but now a heavy cloud seemed to hang over her expression.

She must be thinking of her own village. Though not destroyed, it too was attacked by that woman…

“Well, even if she brought it, we won’t let her do as she pleases. We’ll prevent the tragedy before it happens.”

“Prevent it before…”

“Yep. That’s why we’re working hard. Mashiro will work hard for money. Chizuru can… just cheer for Mashiro, I suppose.”

“What! That casual treatment!”

“It’s not casual. I’ve thought it through. Chizuru would just be a burden, so it’s better if she stays put.”

As harsh as ever. But it’s the truth, so there’s nothing to say.

“Ugh…”

Chizuru, unable to retort, gritted her teeth in frustration. I patted her shoulder and smiled, saying,

“Don’t worry. We’ll do our best in our own way! If Chizuru is cheering for us, I can work harder too!”

“Mashiro…”

Her cheeks turned slightly red, and she looked down, hiding her face. Then, she took my hand and squeezed it tightly.

“Yeah… I’ll do my best!”

“Wow~ So easygoing.”

I lightly flicked Kohaku on the head, who had muttered something under her breath, and then, holding her hand, we began to walk.

“Then, Mashiro and the rest, do your best. We’ll continue gathering information.”

“Yeah…”

Honestly, when the task was first forced on me, I felt negatively and had to force myself to be motivated. But now, knowing that everyone is doing their best in their own ways, I can genuinely try my best.

And, when I think about it, this is a rare opportunity for me to be useful to everyone.

I’ve always been protected, but this time, I’ll definitely win and prove myself useful…
