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

Hyakusuke's body stiffened. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, even though it was winter. He didn't know why, but cold sweat was pouring down.

Yomyo stood not far away. The air around the girl was chillingly cold, and a sharp, stern look appeared in her dark eyes.

"Yomyo-sama, why have you come?"

As he said this, he felt a sense of fear.

"Am I not allowed to come?"

She continued with a smile, "Or perhaps I'm disturbing you two."

"No, you're not disturbing us."

Even Hyakusuke felt that she must have misunderstood.

"Also, you must be mistaken about this. Miss Hiruko and I are not in that kind of relationship..."

He turned to Hiruko Hiiragi for confirmation.

"Miss Hiruko, please explain."

"Y-yes..."

Hiruko Hiiragi felt embarrassed on the one hand, and nervous on the other, so her speech became stuttering.

"T-this is actually... a misunderstanding... Mr. Hyakusuke and I didn't do anything... We were just..."

Both Hyakusuke and Hiruko didn't know how to explain. The situation in front of them was too chaotic. Anxiety and nervousness tightened their hearts, robbing them of any composure.

"Is that so?"

Yomyo's face tightened, almost expressionless.

"So you're saying I misunderstood... But I'd still like to ask, what were you two doing hugging each other?"

Her voice seemed to carry thorns.

"Th-this?"

Hyakusuke and Hiruko separated in a panic. Their clothes were disheveled, making it look like they had really done something improper.

"..."

Yomyo felt a pang in the depths of her heart.

—Clearly, I was here before that shrine maiden.

At this moment, from her perspective, she could only see the two of them hugging tightly.

Hyakusuke... and her... why were they hugging—

The girl's mood was instantly painted black, and she let out a silent cry in her heart.

"It seems I misunderstood."

She said words against her will, only, her voice was seemingly frozen on the surface, but underneath, in the depths, it was burning black.

Hyakusuke frowned.

He had some concerns about Hiruko Hiiragi needing to 'drink blood' regularly, so he didn't tell outsiders.

This was not something suitable to spread around. Hiruko Hiiragi was the "Great Shrine Maiden" of the Sakurahonsha, with a rather special status, so it was best not to spread her affairs.

"Forget it."

Her voice was less cold and more ruthless.

"I won't disturb you two. You can do whatever you want—"

Yomyo didn't say anything more. She quickly turned around and hurried away as if fleeing.

"Hyakusuke-san."

Hiruko Hiiragi quickly asked, "Did we... do something to make her angry?"

The shrine maiden vaguely sensed something, but the girl keenly realized that it was best not to say it explicitly.

'...I can't say it.'

She realized that speaking her guess here would add unnecessary "enemies" to herself.

'Wait... why did I explain just now? It would have been nice to let Yomo Kagaro misunderstand...'

In the next moment, Hiruko Hiiragi was shocked by her own thoughts. How could she think that way? The girl fell into a state of self-blame.

"I don't know either."

Hyakusuke shook his head.

There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

In the end, he could only shake his head and let out a heavy sigh.

"I'll talk to her. Yomyo-sama isn't petty. If I explain, it should be fine."

That was what he thought, but Hiruko Hiiragi looked doubtful. She felt that things were not as simple as Hyakusuke thought.

Afterwards, her premonition proved to be correct.

...

"She really is angry."

The next day, Hyakusuke realized the seriousness of the problem.

Yomo Kagaro was really angry. She began to ignore him completely.

From the moment she woke up in the morning, she didn't talk to him. Even if he looked at her, she would deliberately look away.

At breakfast, Hyakusuke tried to greet her, but she acted as if she couldn't see him, not even raising her head.

Later, when they were preparing to set off, he tried to talk to her again, but Yomyo still ignored him.

'But, why?'

Hyakusuke wondered.

He was very confused about this.

The others also keenly noticed the discordant atmosphere between the two of them. However, everyone had no good way to deal with this.

After all, this was a personal issue, and everyone in the group didn't know how to speak up.

"So... what exactly happened between you and sister? She's acting very strange now?"

Ayaka finally couldn't help it. She found an opportunity to secretly drag Hyakusuke into a secluded forest and questioned him.

"I don't know either."

Hyakusuke could only shake his head.

"...Don't know?"

Ayaka raised her eyebrows, clenched her fists, and leaned towards Hyakusuke.

"What exactly are you two... up to?"

"Sorry."

Hyakusuke sighed.

"No, don't misunderstand... Actually, she's not angry at you."

Ayaka quickly shook her head.

On the contrary, she was a little angry with herself.

After all, she felt that she had a responsibility to take care of her brother, and this situation was obviously her "dereliction of duty."

"Okay~~ From the looks of you, Ayaka roughly knows what's going on... Strictly speaking, the problem isn't with you. It's just that everyone is focusing on important matters now. If we cause conflict because of such trivial things, it will become very troublesome later on."

She didn't start by scolding him. It seemed that after hearing Hyakusuke's reply of "I don't know," she had already thought of something, but was hesitating whether to explain.

"Ayaka-san, I know that Yomyo-sama is somewhat dissatisfied with me."

Hyakusuke asked suspiciously, "You, you should know something... If you understand, could you tell me? This is very important to me."

...Should I say it?

Ayaka was also troubled.

Now, she didn't know what to say. If she revealed that point, it seemed like it would cause an irreparable situation for her.

However, Ayaka also felt that she couldn't ignore it.

"Hoo!"

Ayaka exhaled and took a deep breath. She clenched her fists. Starting with this clenched fist, a just right sense of tension spread throughout her body.

Her attitude also changed. She cheered herself up.

"I can't keep it from you... anymore."

Ayaka looked deeply at Hyakusuke.

"This matter should not have been said by me, but there is no way. Yomyo, that is, sister, she should have fallen in love with you."

She truthfully told Hyakusuke.

"This?"

Hyakusuke was not shocked. In fact, he had some premonition, but for a long time, he had been deliberately pretending to be blind to it.

Ayaka's words let him know that his "playing dumb," deceiving himself, was ultimately not going to work.
