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

In the windless darkness, a petite figure floated in the air, her long black hair billowing.

This was a doll-like little girl, pure white all over, as if she were deep underwater, drifting with the current, her hair and the hem of her dress floating, swaying in mid-air.

'Mother.'

The little girl was communicating with her mother on the other side through 'telepathy'.

'Should we take this opportunity to stop them?'

"Her" mother was naturally Kurohime Yamakuzura. The little girl's true form was not that of a normal child either. In fact, a few days ago, "her" state was still that of an infant-like being.

However, in a very short period of time, "she" had grown from an infant, becoming the figure she was now.

"Not a bad suggestion."

Kuzura said faintly, "But there's no need for that."

'But, Mother.'

The little girl's mouth didn't move. "She" was able to communicate with others solely through telepathy.

'In that case, won't Father be taken away by someone else?!'

"Don't worry... that kind of thing won't happen."

'Why?'

The little girl tilted her head slightly in confusion.

"Don't worry."

Kuzura smiled.

She paid more attention to him than anyone else, so she naturally understood his thoughts.

"Just this level isn't enough to shake the relationship between us..."

...

Yoake's mood was exceptionally bad all day.

The expression on her face was also covered with a layer of gloom.

"What to do?"

She muttered to herself as if complaining, "I clearly didn't intend to, but I'm still sulking... He, in that case, should he start to hate me, right?"

After waking up in the morning, she deliberately avoided Hyakusuke.

Because as long as she saw his face, Yoake would recall what happened yesterday. Every time she thought about yesterday's experience, a faint pain would arise from deep within her chest.

'...It should just be a misunderstanding, right? Miss Hiruko is just drinking blood, and Hyakusuke is just providing her with blood, the reason should be to stabilize her power as a vampire.'

After careful consideration, Yoake also came to a conclusion.

She wasn't stupid, it wasn't difficult to guess the truth.

"But, even so, they shouldn't be hugging, right?"

Yoake puffed up her cute cheeks.

She was indeed angry.

However, there was more embarrassment.

The reason was that she had a very terrible dream last night.

In the dream, Hyakusuke was hugging several strange women, and he treated her like a stranger.

"What a terrible dream."

She thought.

Breakfast after waking up was grilled fish, grilled rice balls, and miso soup made with fish bones.

The ingredients were borrowed from the local Ainu tribe. Ayaka's craftsmanship was very good. She was the person in charge of cooking in this team. She only needed simple ingredients to prepare three meals.

Without her, everyone would have to live on "bland and tasteless" dry food.

Also because the food was so delicious, Yoake's heart was clearly blocked, but she still ate everything without leaving a single bite.

Damn it... my stomach completely ignores my mood, it's really depressing.

Yoake was angry at herself.

On the other hand, it was originally decided to start entering the "Maze Road" today, but the Ainu tribe was relatively taboo about the "Maze Road". It was said that a festival would be held before departure, and divination would be performed.

Therefore, the time would be extended for some time, and others were also busy preparing. Yoake could only practice swordsmanship alone in an open space with a depressed mood.

When she was practicing empty swings, her adopted sister Ayaka came over.

"Brother... Ayaka has something to tell you."

"What is it?"

"That priestess, Miss Hiruko Hiiragi, seems to have something to look for you."

Ayaka pointed to the forest not far away.

"She's waiting for you over there, it seems like she has something important to say."

Hiruko Hiiragi?

"I understand."

Yoake nodded, her face a little gloomy.

Regarding that priestess, she felt that she had to say "sorry". She had misunderstood her about yesterday's matter.

She felt that it was necessary to apologize to the other party face-to-face.

However, she didn't realize that this was a trap—

"Wh-Why... is he here?"

When she saw the figure appearing in the forest, Yoake reacted almost subconsciously.

She ran away.

"Don't run."

Hyakusuke used Instant Transmission to forcibly grab her wrist.

"Yoake-dono, no, Yoake... we need to talk."

Yes.

He and Yoake needed to talk.

"N-No!!"

Yoake shouted and tried to break free from his right hand.

However, Hyakusuke held her wrist tightly.

He moved closer to the girl in one breath, forcing her back into the corner of the forest.

Yoake's body had to lean against the tree behind her.

She had nowhere to retreat.

Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ In ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Hair!

"Y-Y-Y-You... what are you doing?"

Yoake fell into confusion, and after a few seconds of dazed silence, she said with a blushing face, "If you mess around again... I, I'm going to call for help."

Hyakusuke was speechless when he heard this sentence.

He didn't even know what this protagonist was thinking, as if he could beat her and use force on her.

If the girl wanted to resist him, even ten of him would be beaten to the ground.

Yoake's strength was now an unadulterated, powerful exorcist stepping on the threshold of the super-level. She was still a demon-slaying swordsman who mainly fought in close combat, wielding two swords to kill demons.

In fact, as long as Yoake had that awareness, she could get rid of him at any time.

If she infused spiritual power into her hands to strengthen her body, she could easily break his bones with one hand;

If she was firmly hugged by her who had strengthened her strength, she could crush all his sternum, spine, and internal organs.

'On the contrary, she doesn't mean to resist me. Even if I really want to do something, she won't resist, right?'

Hyakusuke asked himself in his heart. Now, he was very sure that the other party really liked him.

However, after deeply understanding this point, his mood became very complicated.

To be honest, Hyakusuke really didn't think that he would build this level of relationship with this protagonist. That wasn't his original intention.

"Last time, what did you want to say to me at the House of the Lost?"

Hyakusuke let go of her hand.

Yoake didn't speak, but held her right hand with her left hand, avoiding his gaze.

"I'm sorry, I asked Miss Ayaka to trick you over here. I think we need to talk clearly."

Hyakusuke sighed and said in a slightly serious tone, "Let me explain first, yesterday's matter was purely a misunderstanding. Miss Hiruko and I didn't do anything strange."

He still told the fact that Hiruko Hiiragi needed to drink blood regularly.

"...We are innocent."

"I know."

Yoake lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.

"Actually, I guessed that it was a misunderstanding... I'm just sulking."

Hyakusuke looked at her. Yoake's profile seemed to tremble slightly sadly, her eyes looking into the depths of the forest. Her gaze seemed to be looking at something more important, more delicate, and more heartbreaking.

"I'm sorry, I know it's a misunderstanding, I just can't accept it."

She said softly, her voice sad.

"I'm very sorry."

"It's okay."

Hyakusuke shook his head.

"Miss Ayaka is very worried about you... She also told me a lot about you. I already know your feelings very well, including what you think of me."

He sighed.

"I know, you seem to like me."

"N-No."

Yoake shouted in an almost changed voice.

No.

She suddenly fell silent.

Her heart couldn't reject her true feelings.

She couldn't lie.

"Yes, I like you."

Yoake's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of tear mist. She knew that she couldn't deny the emotions in her heart. She let the heat filling her whole body drive her, desperately weaving words as if to pour out the flames swirling in her heart.

"I like you, I really, really like you."

She brought her face closer and stared into Hyakusuke's eyes, as if to look directly into his eyes, the deep intentions.

"I can't stand you being with other girls. Not Yae, not Miss Hiruko, not even that person."

Hyakusuke nodded.

"Thank you."

He looked at the girl and then shook his head.

"But, not now."

These words made Yoake freeze. She felt like she had been struck by lightning.
