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

According to the Ainu people, the "Midou" are vast underground cave systems excavated by the Korpokkur race.

These dwarven people spent only a day and a night to dig out an incredibly huge underground labyrinth.

The Midou seem to extend deep into the earth with a density like an ant colony, and even the Ainu people are not quite sure how deep they go.

This seemed to be the traditional attire of the Ainu people. As the one responsible for being the "guide," she was explaining things to everyone.

"Well then, we're about to set off... By the way, is there anyone who isn't good with confined spaces, or who is afraid of the dark?"

She jokingly asked the group.

"Don't worry."

Renjo Senjuro sucked on his pipe, exhaling thick smoke.

"The place we're going to next might be even more terrifying than the Midou. This little inconvenience won't affect us."

He stared at the narrow passage ahead with black pupils mixed with melancholy and laziness.

"That's true."

The one who responded was an old man, also dressed as a hunter. His square, tanned face, as if he had popped out of a stone, was covered with horizontal and vertical wrinkles, and his eyes under his thick eyebrows were also examining the entrance to the Midou.

"However, the Midou are located underground and are full of various dangers. There are also some monsters and wandering spirits, so please be careful."

After the ritual, the village sent out a father-daughter hunter pair to serve as guides for the group. The young female hunter was named Rera, and her father, the old man, was named Tak.

They were among the very few hunters in the entire village who had a good understanding of the Korpokkur race's underground caves.

Led by Tak and Rera, the group arrived near the forest, at a deep valley with a large crack, where there was an entrance to the underground cave.

This was an extremely deep underground passage, and the further they went, the darker it became.

For everyone, the depths of darkness were undoubtedly an "unknown" territory that no one understood.

"Let's go."

Yami now seemed to be in a good mood. She drew the "Masayo King" from her two treasured swords, and lit up a glowing blue-white light from the tip of the sword in her left hand.

"Is it best not to use magic for lighting?"

The old hunter Tak sighed.

"There are spirits in the underground Midou. They are very sensitive to spiritual wavelengths. The spiritual power emitted when casting spells will attract their attention."

"Is that so?"

Yami was surprised.

"Then how should we light the way?"

"Just use ordinary lamps and candles."

The old hunter Tak shook the lamp on his waist.

"Okay, we've actually prepared some."

Renjo quickly added, and then the merchant uncle raised a question: "But why are you two so familiar with the Midou? It seems like the other hunters of the Ainu tribe avoid this place like the plague..."

The Midou are a dangerous place. The other hunters among the Ainu people seem to be very wary of this place, believing it to be full of ominousness.

"Yes."

The old hunter Tak nodded.

"Although we have the protection of our ancestors, the monsters that have occupied the old territory of the Yue Gala tribe have indeed caused trouble for us hunters."

"Mainly, even if the evil god Kotan Koro Kamui doesn't leave its lair, its familiars will prey on animals and people."

Tak's daughter, Rera, gave a helpless wry smile.

Naturally, this has made it difficult for the Ainu hunters to hunt in the mountains.

"Rera, my daughter, is a girl, and her physical strength can't compare to adult hunters. As for me..."

Tak revealed his right leg, which was a wooden prosthetic.

"My leg was bitten off by a monster in the mountains. Although I can move with the prosthetic, my skills are not good... My daughter and I can only rely on the entrances and exits of the Midou to avoid the places where those monsters gather and hunt with traps."

"I see."

Renjo Senjuro nodded.

Tak's words were convincing. He had lost a leg and had difficulty moving, and his daughter was not yet an adult.

In order to make hunting easier, the two of them would use the Midou to move around, avoiding the monsters on the ground and bypassing some areas where monsters gathered, allowing them to move freely.

"Over time, we have spent a lot of time in the Midou, and gradually, we have gained a deep understanding of the shallow terrain of the Midou. It's enough for the chief to send my daughter and me to the back mountain of the Yue Gala territory."

Tak and his daughter led the group deeper. After entering the underground, they found that the Midou were passages made of yellowish-brown stones, and the further down they went, the colder the air became.

Baek-Gae found that the ventilation here was surprisingly good, and the fresh breeze containing the smell of moist soil tickled his nose.

"I also have a question I want to ask."

He asked Tak and his daughter, "The entrances to the Midou are all over the great forest, and even if they are hidden, there is still a chance of them being discovered. Could it be that the monsters don't set foot in the Midou?"

"Some monsters originally live in the Midou."

Tak's daughter, Rera, who exuded innocence, explained: "However, for some reason we don't understand—the monsters on the surface don't enter the interior of the Midou, and conversely, the monsters that have lived in the Midou for a long time don't try to leave here either."

"Past events can also prove this point."

The hunter Tak briefly explained: "Rera and I were being chased by a surface monster. In a panic, we hid in the Midou, and as a result, that ferocious monster didn't chase after us."

"Is that so? It seems that this Midou is very strange and should contain some kind of special mechanism—"

Baek-Gae also showed a thoughtful expression.

In the main storyline of the original work, the existence of the "Midou" is also extremely strange. The Korpokkur race is considered a magical demihuman race. In the official setting collection, there are also relevant records. They are a race that can instantly create mountains and lakes and possess miraculous powers.

The Midou are not limited to the Mutsu Province of the island country, but rather, there are such underground cave labyrinths all over the country.

For example, in the center of this country, which is Kyoto, there is a huge underground labyrinth.

In the middle of the story, the protagonist group also used the "Midou" many times to achieve their goals, which is considered a relatively important scene in the game.

"Although this is a shortcut to the old territory of Yue Gala, there is also a trouble, but we have enough manpower, so even if we face the monster that lives here, it shouldn't be too difficult."

Baek-Gae began to calculate in his mind.

"Knowing that there are Hiiragi Hiruko, Renjo, and the three leaders of the Shell Serpent Troupe, even a fierce monster like Silla King, who is close to the level of a demon general, is no match for us. The difficulty of the monster in the Midou should not be that great!"

He was full of confidence in his team.

......

At the same time, in the labyrinth formed by the underground caves, deep in the lake where the underground river flows, a sleeping dark shadow slowly awakened from its slumber.

'The scent of humans... This is quite interesting.'

In the flowing lake water, a huge shadow wriggled its winding body.

'My servants, Tak and Rera... Hurry up and send these new sacrifices over—'
