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

Standing at the end of the stone steps was an elderly shrine maiden.

She was a beauty, dressed in a pure white 'chihaya' with a crane pattern design, and a vibrant red 'hakama'.

This older woman was named Fumi, probably around thirty years old. She was a high-ranking member of the shrine staff and also served as the acting 'Gūji' of the Kamizakura Main Shrine.

"Miss Fumi, hello."

Hyakusuke walked to the end of the stone steps and bowed.

"You really didn't have to come out to greet me..."

"No, no, no."

The elderly shrine maiden said with a smile, "You are a very important guest. It would be impolite of me not to come and greet you personally."

Miss Fumi could be said to be the "leader" of the Kamizakura Main Shrine.

Because the Great Shrine Maiden's position was more unique, she usually had to serve the goddess of the Heavenly God Cherry Tree, Mahoraga, and could not manage the shrine affairs. Therefore, Fumi, who served as her deputy, took over her work.

"That being said, the work is actually quite leisurely. Shrines are originally 'places outside the world'. Unless we are preparing for festivals and rituals, there are basically no complicated matters..."

However, this was a secret. In fact, Hiiragi Hiruko had lived in the Kamizakura Main Shrine as an "orphan" since she was born.

Yes, Hiiragi Hiruko had never met her mother. The shrine maidens who took care of her were like family, with Fumi being more like her "mother."

"Although she has become much calmer now and her personality has become more introverted, Hiruko was a mischievous child when she was young~~"

Fumi chatted with Hyakusuke like a parent.

"But no matter what, I must thank you for your help before. Without your help, Hyakusuke, I can't imagine what Hiruko would have encountered... Although those things cannot be spread, I still want to thank you properly."

What she was talking about was naturally Hiiragi Hiruko becoming a vampire.

Of course, this matter was not allowed to be spread, and everyone involved was forbidden from speaking about it.

Hyakusuke knew that the guards and sorcerers sent by the Renjo Senjuro Trading Company who participated in that battle were all forbidden from speaking about it. The "Night Walkers" belonging to Kukutsu were originally secret agents and would not reveal information.

Kuzu Hana also issued a "prohibition of disclosure" order to the Black Princess Mountain clan and the staff of the Liyuyuan, so the news about Hiiragi Hiruko's vampirization would become a secret.

'But, in reality, there is no big problem.'

Hyakusuke thought. The difference between a True Ancestor-level vampire like Hiiragi Hiruko and ordinary people was difficult to distinguish.

The vast majority of True Ancestors could disguise themselves as humans and quietly live in human society.

They also lived by sucking blood, but they "ate" very little, unlike other vampires who needed to attack humans frequently.

However, Hiiragi Hiruko's situation was even more special. Her bloodline as the "Shrine Maiden of the Sun", that is, the living god, was too powerful and could suppress the "part" of the vampire. This could ensure that the "vampire" part of her and her human "part" were in perfect balance.

After being hit twice by Yaming's "Soul Erosion", even the violent bloodlust was calmed down. The current situation was closer to stability. As long as she maintained it, she would hardly be affected by the vampire's natural flaws.

"Miss Fumi is too polite."

Hyakusuke thought for a moment and took over the "Acting Gūji" Fumi's words.

"To put it bluntly, I just did some trivial things... Although Miss Fumi said that I helped Lady Hiruko, in fact, I just did some things within my duty."

"Is that so?"

Fumi smiled slightly.

Then, she led Hyakusuke through the vermilion tower gate and the outer worship hall, moving towards the inner courtyard.

The Kamizakura Main Shrine was a shrine built around the huge Heavenly God Cherry Tree Mahoraga. Its layout was divided into three areas, namely the outer courtyard, the inner courtyard, and the inner inner courtyard - the deepest location was the main hall and the prayer hall where Mahoraga was enshrined.

"Of course, there is also a place for the Great Shrine Maiden to rest... In fact, because Hiruko is a Shrine Maiden, she must often accompany Lord Mahoraga, and she also needs to stay near the Heavenly God Cherry Tree as much as possible on weekdays..."

Fumi said as she led Hyakusuke to the huge cherry tree in the inner inner courtyard.

"Oh."

She suddenly noticed something and half-closed her eyes.

"It seems everyone has arrived."

Hyakusuke also noticed that under the huge cherry blossoms that bloomed in complete disregard of the winter cold, like a dream, there was a girl standing there with her hand on the tree trunk.

The girl was wearing a more elaborate outfit than the other shrine maidens, which was closer to ceremonial attire - the skirt and sleeves were particularly long, and the overall design was loose and comfortable, with almost no straps.

What was even more impressive was the red rope sewn on the edges of the cloth, which should be decorations.

The Great Shrine Maiden in white and crimson skirt was standing by the trunk of the Heavenly God Cherry Tree with her eyes slightly closed, as if she was focusing on some kind of ritual or prayer.

Her profile made Hyakusuke mesmerized for a while. For a few seconds, he even forgot to breathe. The girl was simply as beautiful as the blooming cherry blossoms.

'No... what are you thinking about!?'

Fortunately, he quickly calmed down.

'She is a woman from the imperial family. Although I don't know who her father is, it's best not to think about troublesome things.'

Just as Hyakusuke was thinking about these things, perhaps she heard the sound or noticed his gaze, the girl suddenly opened her eyes and turned her gaze over.

"Eh."

Hyakusuke thought in his heart. But it was too late.

The two's eyes met.

His heart accelerated violently.

At the same time, the girl with her back to the cherry tree was surprised by the visiting guest and looked flustered - she seemed to think of something and was about to trot over here, but slipped and fell heavily.

'She falls on flat ground, how is that even possible?'

Well, because she fell on the soft lawn, the damage was minimized, but Hiiragi Hiruko still grimaced in pain.

"Are you okay?"

Hyakusuke came over with "Shukuchi."

"Miss Hiruko, could it be that your body hasn't recovered yet?"

He reached out and helped the girl up.

"N-no, I'm fine."

The girl's heart was pounding like a rabbit.

"I just accidentally fell... My body is fine, there is nothing wrong."

"Is that so?"

Hyakusuke's voice was a little suspicious.

He thought that Hiiragi Hiruko must not have any problems. He had spent so much effort to save her. If something happened to her body again and she lost this "Shrine Maiden of the Sun", it would be a heavy blow to him.

'...Wh-wh-why? Why is he here?'

Although Hiiragi Hiruko had a straight face, her eyes had already begun to spin in panic.

"Let's get up first?"

Hyakusuke's voice was very gentle.

The latest novel is first published in 6 9 books ba! !

"O-okay..."

She replied very weakly.

"Is Miss Hiruko really okay?"

Hyakusuke asked again.

"N-n-nothing is wrong... That, you don't need to worry about such unnecessary things."

Hiiragi Hiruko, who was being helped up, quickly turned her face away.

It could be seen that the back of her neck was already completely red.

Puff puff puff puff puff...

Just behind the two, Miss Mefu was covering her mouth with her sleeve, desperately trying to hold back her laughter - oh ho ho, here it comes, here it comes, here it comes, it's not in vain that I secretly invited this one!

Honestly, Mefu, who came from a prestigious exorcist family and had Kyoto noble blood, had no complaints about her daily work.

The only pity was that the work at the Kamizakura Main Shrine had no entertainment value, but she was a person with an extremely serious gossip soul.

Think about it, in this boring workplace full of women, what could be more worthy of investigation than the love story between men and women, especially the sweet and sour love story between those young boys and girls.

This "Acting Gūji" was so excited that her eyes were straight.

'Puff puff puff... I thought before that this child Hiruko often mentioned this name, and now it seems that this is indeed the case. Just a look in the eyes and she will panic and fall! It's so cute!'

She secretly wiped her saliva.

"The two of you have a really good relationship, but this is not the place to talk... Please be sure to go to the resting room over there and have a good chat..."

...

These days, Hiiragi Hiruko has been having dreams frequently.

She almost never dreamed in the past. According to Mahoraga, this was the influence of the blood curse.

However, after absorbing the power of the True Ancestor-level vampire "Crimson Heaven Tiger", Hiiragi Hiruko seemed to no longer be affected by the blood curse and was able to dream normally.

"How embarrassing!!!"

This morning, after waking up from her dream, she desperately kicked the quilt.

"What kind of terrible dream is that?"

It should have been a lewd dream.

She was held in a man's arms, and she was being looked down upon by the other party's gentle eyes like the warm sunshine of spring - Hiiragi Hiruko's mind was rippling, and she felt her body melting.

"...Lord Hiruko."

The man whispered in a low voice.

His low, magnetic voice seemed to be forcing her into a desperate situation.

'No... I can't do this kind of thing!'

She recalled her feeling of being about to be immersed in it at the time and shouted desperately.

"I had the same dream again, and why is it 'him'! ?"

The girl hugged the pillow with complex emotions, curling up tightly like a sowbug.

...

--Hiruko, listen to me.

After eating breakfast, as usual, she was trying to communicate with the Heavenly God Cherry Tree Mahoraga during the day when she heard the voice from this cherry tree god.

'You... could it be that you are in love? Hiruko...'

"Lord Mahoraga, wh-what are you talking about?"

'I'm really sorry, although I don't have any interest in that aspect, I can also see the dreams you have,' Mahoraga's voice was that of a girl.

'How should I put it, it's just that our channels are easier to connect, so if you dream, I can also feel it--'

"S-so... the dream I had--?"

Hiiragi Hiruko's face gradually turned red, and her clenched fists trembled non-stop.

'Sorry, I saw it all... I guess, this is what they mean by "you think about it during the day, and you dream about it at night"?'

Pfft!

Her face was so red that it was about to explode, and she could vaguely hear the sound of steam erupting.

--Liar... liar, why... this kind of thing... I don't even know, why does Lord Mahoraga have to peek at my dreams~~~ Terrible, terrible, the worst!!!

'No, no, no, I really don't have any malice, your dream was unilaterally sensed by me... Wait a minute, Hiruko, it seems there are guests at the shrine, sorry, I have something to do, so I won't bother you anymore!'

Mahoraga was also unwilling to quarrel with her own shrine maiden, and this god quickly hung up the connection.

Hiiragi Hiruko was also reminded that there were guests at the Kamizakura Main Shrine, she quickly restrained the confusion in her heart, and just as she was about to put on an expression to welcome outsiders, she saw a familiar figure.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Her heart let out a scream.
