Help! I changed the gender of the male protagonist in the yandere game

On the other hand, after defeating the Five Vajra Generals, Hyakkei also confirmed that some changes had occurred in the spiritual power within his body.

After absorbing some of the essence of the Five Vajra Generals, his own spiritual power increased, although it was not a significant improvement, the nature of his spiritual power changed.

This also enabled Hyakkei to do many things that he couldn't do in the past. For one, his perception level was much higher than before—no, compared to the past, it was an overwhelming improvement.

As long as he concentrated, he could feel everything in great detail, and he could see the battle between Yami and the Youkai from a great distance.

Because of this, Hyakkei can now appreciate the power of both Yami and the fierce Youkai, Kaku Youkai.

'This is really exaggerated... From any point of view, these two guys are much stronger than me...'

To put it bluntly, they are on a different dimension. Both sides are amazingly skilled. They seem to be able to see through the enemy's actions and precisely control their spiritual power and demonic energy.

Moreover, they can use their spiritual power quickly and without waste during fierce battles.

Yami is undoubtedly about to enter the realm of a super-class exorcist. Her movements are completely different from the past. The spiritual power radiating from her body completely surpasses everyone else. The wavelength of the spiritual power released in an instant, the depth and density of power control are also different. Everything is overwhelmingly different.

This may have far exceeded the limits of ordinary people.

Not to mention Kaku Youkai, it was originally a powerful fierce Youkai, and after absorbing two fierce Youkai, its power has increased a lot.

The battle between the two is obviously a clash of titans, an evenly matched battle.

Arrow-like spikes fell to the ground. Facing this attack, Yami swung her sword light into a ball. She moved while swinging her sword. The ultra-high-speed blade swept through like a storm, and everything along the way was cut into fine powder.

"The winner is about to be decided."

Kurohimeyama Mikado made a judgment.

Hyakkei silently watched the battle on the field, seriously observing every move of the battle between Yami and Kaku Youkai.

The battle between the two sides entered a feverish stage.

Kaku Youkai absorbed Enkoma and Kyuuki, possessing the power of these two fierce Youkai. At the same time, it also has the ability to "read minds," which is a method of directly seeing through the enemy's heart and making judgments in advance.

This is a huge advantage. Kaku Youkai clearly knows Yami's next action and can take the lead and occupy an absolute advantage—of course, ordinary enemies would be defeated by Kaku Youkai in an instant.

However, Yami has the "Eye of Heavenly Awakening." She can see through any subtle changes in the enemy. That is the power close to "perceiving everything." The little advantage that Kaku Youkai's "mind reading" gains is also seen through by her in an instant.

Flames, spikes, and the strong shock waves released by Kaku Youkai with telekinesis, the sand and soil surged up like a fountain—facing such an offensive, she swung her spirit sword to fight back. The offensive and defensive battle between the two sides was too dense for any outsiders to intervene.

"...This is really troublesome."

Yami muttered while twisting her body to dodge the fireballs. Kaku Youkai spewed out dragon-like flames. The fire fell everywhere, and there was an explosion. The blast and heat spread out.

'The power is getting stronger and stronger. I might not be able to defend against it with a barrier.'

Cold sweat appeared on her forehead. If such attacks continue a few more times, she may not be able to withstand it.

Her bangs were grazed by the flames and almost burned off, and there were scars on her cheeks. There were also wounds on her shoulders where spikes had pierced through.

"In battle, when facing equally matched opponents, the more you tend to defend, the easier it is to fall into a disadvantage..."

Kaku Youkai commented unhurriedly while releasing telekinesis. The flames stopped at the same time, and a violent wind blew, and several shock waves hit Yami.

In an instant, her eyes became obviously different from just now. Kaku Youkai's evaluation was correct. If she only defends, she will be at a disadvantage, especially against an enemy who can see through her heart and launch an offensive first.

'Must be fast... act faster than the opponent...'

The only way to deal with a mind-reading Youkai is to exceed its "mind-reading" speed.

In the next moment, Yami rushed forward with amazing instantaneous explosive power. This was a straight-line sprint.

"The battle method is too obvious."

Kaku Youkai once again stirred up the fluctuation of telekinesis.

Boom! An invisible shock wave struck Yami with a dull sound. The strong wind swept across the earth, and the surrounding grass, trees, and gravel were blown away with a crackling sound.

"Ah..."

The pressure of the shock wave that shook the atmosphere made her make a sound, which was almost a shout.

"You..."

Kaku Youkai had an ominous feeling. It understood the girl's current thoughts through mind reading. However, it had no way to stop what was about to happen next—

Whoosh! Her right hand swung her sword, so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye. The moment the spirit sword was swung, it seemed to create a super-hot white light, rushing straight over like lightning. This was a slash that compressed her spiritual power desperately.

At this moment, the strong light was so dazzling that Hyakkei and Mikado, who were watching from a distance, had to close their eyes.

Boom!

At the end of the flash, it shook the eardrums and the atmosphere, as well as the surrounding trees and the ground. The next second, a huge explosion enveloped the area, everything trembled, and swallowed Kaku Youkai's figure.

"It's over."

Hyakkei saw through the ending.

When the strong light and loud noise finally disappeared, the ground was torn apart. At the end, at the location of Kaku Youkai, there was a huge pit. In the pit that was steaming, this Kaku Youkai had been split in half by this sword.

"...N-not bad."

Although Kaku Youkai was split in half, it still uttered its last breath: "Although my mind reading can see through your intentions, but... I can't keep up with your attack and speed. Even if I know what you are going to do, there is no way to stop it."

After it finished speaking, its body turned into demonic energy and dissipated into a cloud.

Yami also swayed slightly and fell to the ground after confirming that the enemy had been defeated.

"...Well done."

Kurohimeyama Mikado praised slightly: "Being able to defeat Kaku Youkai, who absorbed the essence of two fierce Youkai, she has also touched a little on the usage of the 'eye'."

Hearing this, Hyakkei also understood her statement.

The reason why the girl was able to defeat Kaku Youkai was not that her slashing speed was faster than Kaku Youkai's mind reading, but that her "eye" saw through the change in Kaku Youkai's demonic energy nature. The slash could cut through the opponent's telekinetic shock waves and tear apart the opponent's demonic energy.

In other words, the power of Yami's "eye" allowed her to grasp the opponent's weaknesses and break through the enemy's defenses in the most effective way. This is what makes her power terrifying—

"Moreover, she has even greater growth potential."

Hyakkei thought to himself, this is the protagonist's terrifying potential. Once she starts to grow, she will make leaps and bounds.

"That's fine."

Mikado said lightly: "It's a coincidence that my daughter Miyuki's people have also arrived. Her subordinates should attack you, right? It's a good opportunity to test what she can do."

"Mikado-sama, what do you mean by that?"

Hyakkei asked in surprise.

"Since she was able to pass my 'trial', it proves that she has the qualifications."

Mikado said unhurriedly: "Hiding will not solve anything. Moreover, the Shell Serpent Troupe's methods are 'unscrupulous'. You don't think that if she hides here, everyone else will be fine, right?"

Hyakkei immediately understood her intention.

"The Shell Serpent Troupe will attack the people around Yami-sama to threaten her, right?"

"That's right."

Mikado nodded and said slowly: "In fact, the little girl has quite a few weaknesses. Besides her adopted sister and retainers, there are also several branch families of the Tsukigara clan. It's too convenient to make a fuss about them."

She asked in a deep voice: "If this group of people says, 'If you don't come out and surrender, we will kill these people,' then the little girl should have no way to refuse, right? However, if she is caught by my daughter Miyuki and taken to the main family, then she is completely finished, because she will definitely be brainwashed, hypnotized, and her mind and body will be controlled, and even her life may not be spared."

"You must not let the people sent by the clan catch her... right?"

Hyakkei stroked his chin.

"In that case, we can't sit still and wait for death. We need to counterattack."

"Oh~ From what you said, do you have a plan?"

Kurohimeyama Mikado looked at him curiously.

"I have some."

The latest novel is first published at Six-9-book-bar!

Hyakkei silently thought, and the previous information flashed through his mind.

The personnel sent by Miyuki must contact Kuzu Hana, which means that among the companions, there must be a "big shot" who is loyal to the head family faction.

'There is a way... We can also hijack hostages and then use this opportunity to turn the tables on the head family. As long as we successfully capture the hostages, we can also force the other party not to attack Ayaka and the others.'

Finally, he made his own judgment.

Hyakkei looked at Mikado and said unhurriedly: "The worst choice is to be beaten without fighting back... I think it is necessary for Yami-sama to counterattack—"

We can't let the protagonist go to her death.

Hyakkei would not sit idly by. Although the "counterattack" he proposed could be regarded as a rebellion against the Kurohimeyama clan from a certain perspective.

However, unfortunately, he had no loyalty to the Kurohimeyama clan at all.

Moreover, this time, Hyakkei also received the support of Mikado and Kuzu Hana.

"Mikado-sama."

He asked Kurohimeyama Mikado for confirmation: "Can I ask you about the lineup of personnel sent by Miyuki-sama who came to Kasumi City this time? For example, what kind of big shot is here to serve as an envoy."

"You! ?"

Mikado's eyes widened.

"Boy, I see... is that what you're planning?"

"Since you took the lead in using despicable means to start the fight, you can't blame the enemy for being unscrupulous, right?"

Hyakkei smiled slightly.

"Schemes... are not something that only you can use—"

...

In the tea room in the castle.

Kuzu Hana was sitting opposite a guest who had come from afar.

Fine pottery teacups were filled with green tea, but neither of the two people sitting face to face was in the mood to drink tea.

"Miss Kuzu Hana, I'm really flattered that you are willing to meet with me..."

The speaker was a young man dressed as a samurai. He was wearing a coat with a seven-treasure flower pattern printed on it, and he was holding a fan in his hand.

"After all, you are my mother's marriage partner. I have to meet you to confirm what kind of person you are?"

Kuzu Hana squinted at the young man sitting opposite her and snorted through her nose.

"It seems that that woman is also old and dizzy and found a strange guy... By the way, who exactly are you?"

"Is that so?"

The young man covered the corners of his mouth with his fan, and his eyes narrowed into slits.

"I've already said it before. My name is Tsukishiro Kaoru, and I am the son of the hero of the Tsukishiro clan."

"...Is that so?"

Kuzu Hana sneered: "As far as I know, the Tsukishiro clan was destroyed a long time ago... How did you, the son of the head of the family, survive?"

"Just by luck."

Tsukishiro Kaoru replied with a smile: "Miyuki-sama rescued me. Miss Kuzu Hana, don't you even believe Miyuki-sama?"

"There are always lowly thieves who want to climb up the social ladder. We must be on guard."

Kuzu Hana said sarcastically: "Of course, I believe my mother's vision... So, what is your purpose for coming to Kasumi City this time?"

"Miss Kuzu Hana should also be clear that the head of the family wants me to bring one person back, and that is Kohagi-sama's fiancé, Tsukigara Yami..."

"Is that so? But I don't know the whereabouts of Tsukigara Yami. She disappeared two days ago and her whereabouts are unknown. No one knows where she went."

Kuzu Hana had already informed Kurohimeyama Mikado and knew some of Mikado's plans. The time inside the "House of the Lost" flowed at a different speed than the outside world. Only two days had passed in the outside world, but the "House of the Lost" may have experienced a month.

'If that woman can't find Tsukigara Yami, she should send someone to capture her adopted sister and retainers...'

Kuzu Hana also had plans in mind to hide people in a place where even the Shell Serpent Troupe would have difficulty attacking.

"It doesn't matter. Regarding this... my people can find it themselves."

Tsukishiro Kaoru's lips curled up and he said with a smile: "Please rest assured, as long as Miss Kuzu Hana doesn't hinder us, it shouldn't take too long to find that person..."

"You bastard!"

Kuzu Hana's delicate eyebrows furrowed and she spoke with a frosty tone.

"This is Kasumi City, and you are not allowed to mess around here."

"Don't worry, the Shell Serpent Troupe's actions are very secretive and will not alarm anyone."

Tsukishiro Kaoru's tone was full of confidence: "It won't be long before this matter is over!"

In an instant, Kuzu Hana seemed to feel something and stood up abruptly—

"How dare you directly attack the Renjou Trading Company?!"

"Please don't talk nonsense..."

Tsukishiro Kaoru replied with a smile: "Without evidence, there is no way to accuse anyone. Mere suspicion proves nothing."
