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

To celebrate Caizo and his group rescuing his granddaughter, Village Chief Jiding generously took out winter ingredients, bought wild boar, rabbit, and venison from the hunters, and stewed them fragrantly in a large iron pot.

The family's farmhands and maids also came to help. After nightfall, Caizo and Jiding drank and chatted in the living room, with Gengzaburo accompanying them.

The others ate and drank in the courtyard, a rare moment of rest for the ninja – even the lower ninjas had a pot of mixed grain porridge prepared for them.

In addition, there was miso soup made with tofu and scallions, along with local delicacies such as stewed radish and stewed shiitake mushrooms.

Side dishes also included taro, chestnuts, yams, boiled rice cakes, and dried persimmons as desserts.

For a northern village, this "celebratory feast" was quite lavish. Most of the lower ninjas were from poor peasant or tenant farmer backgrounds, forced to do this "life-shortening" work because they signed contracts of indenture.

On the other hand, given their family circumstances, they rarely saw any oil in their food on weekdays, so this meal was a rare treat for them.

Lower ninjas are born with spiritual power, and their appetites are much larger than ordinary people. Hei Ji Mountain's meals are three times a day (while ordinary civilians eat twice a day).

Although they can eat their fill, it's always porridge mixed with brown rice and miscellaneous grains, along with pickles and kimchi.

In Baizhi's modern eyes, it's completely a "vital sign maintenance meal," worse than the South Korean army cafeteria.

After all, South Korean soldiers have convenience stores, and lower ninjas can only hope to occasionally hunt wild game to improve their meals...

On the other hand, the food provided to the lower ninjas also shows the village chief's considerable wealth.

Although he is now the village chief of a poor village, Jiding seems to have been a medicinal herb merchant in the past. Ye Ya's father also died of illness while traveling around as a merchant. Even now, the family has a lot of wealth.

"It's really lively."

Baizhi sighed. He did not participate in the banquet.

After all, he had very important business to take care of.

Baizhi walked outside the courtyard, found a corner against the wall, and took out the used ninja sword from his belt – using the bright moonlight of the night sky, he carefully inspected the sword in his hand.

These ninja swords are all cheap goods, and they will have various problems after being used for a long time, including rust and pitting, chipped edges, broken tips, and bent blades.

"Fortunately, the blade is not bent and there are no rolled edges, so it should be usable for a while."

If the blade is bent and not in a straight line after a large impact, tools are needed to straighten and flatten the blade.

If there are rolled edges, it's even more of a headache.

He took out deerskin and wiped the blade, thinking that he would have to resharpen the knife when he returned.

After doing this, Baizhi checked the spear he had brought. This type of spear is a "straight spear," with a simple shape, and the spear blade is like a bamboo leaf, called a Sasaho spear.

The shaft of this spear is not bamboo, but has a very hard wooden core inside. This wooden core is taken from the sacred tree of the shrine, and its toughness can be guaranteed.

Baizhi mainly checked whether the connection between the spear shaft and the spearhead was firm, as it would be fatal if the spearhead broke during battle.

Suddenly, he heard a timid voice beside him.

"Um... I'm here to bring you some food..."

Baizhi turned his head and was surprised to find that it was Village Chief's granddaughter, Ye Ya. She was a petite girl with long Hime-cut hair, like a Japanese doll. Although she was very young, she was already a beauty.

"This... is venison and vegetable dumplings."

She carefully handed over a plate.

"Thank you, Miss Ye Ya."

Baizhi took the plate, surprised that this girl would appear in front of him.

"Also, I want to apologize for what happened before."

Ye Ya lowered her head.

"It was because of me that I said excessive things to you... I now know how much my actions worried everyone, even my grandfather was worried. He didn't even say anything harsh to me..."

When she reunited with her grandfather, she cried profusely.

After that, something strange on the girl's body was eliminated all at once.

Baizhi was greatly surprised. From his perspective, the sense of incongruity surrounding the girl was like some kind of haze being swept away.

Perhaps, to others, it should seem that the girl had finally woken up after experiencing what happened today.

However, Baizhi had a different view.

'Hypnosis, or suggestion... It should be mental interference.'

His eyes became deep.

Now he could confirm that in the Inamori Village incident in the game, there really were inside stories that even the players didn't know.

"And, I still can't let it go. I... now, I can finally confirm that those Yamawaro were deceiving me. Monsters can lie. Why did I... believe those monsters?"

Large tears dripped down her face.

"It must be that I'm too stupid. And I even thought you were a bad person before. I'm really sorry... In this kind of village, no one wants to be friends with me. I can only deceive myself, make myself believe that the Yamawaro are friendly... Even now, I still think this is just my illusion, that this is all fake--"

"Is that so?"

Baizhi was expressionless. He didn't care about these things.

"Then, Miss Ye Ya, will you still run away from home?"

"No, I won't."

The girl shook her head and wiped away her tears: "I won't do that kind of thing again, and I won't cause any more trouble for everyone..."

She muttered to herself: "Grandfather said that he will send me to the city later, so that I can learn to manage the medicinal herb business like my father. I probably won't continue to stay in the village... Although, everyone doesn't blame me for anything, but I don't want to always be a child."

"That's good."

Baizhi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Um, I want to thank you again. By the way... can you tell me your name?"

She reorganized her mood and bowed deeply to him.

"Baizhi."

He gave this false name.

"If we meet again next time, I will definitely work hard to repay Mr. Baizhi."

The girl clenched the clothes on her chest.

"I will be a good child and will not let everyone down."

It seemed that the girl had made her own decision.

Baizhi sighed inwardly.

In this way, she should not repeat the second bad ending.

"Then--"

Next, it was his own battle.

...

Late at night.

Just as Baizhi made the decision to completely end the Inamori Village incident, in the deep mansion of Hei Ji Mountain, Yue Jialuo Ye Ming was sitting face to face with his fiancée.

She was in a complex mood, feeling a mixture of emotions, feeling uneasy, and was led into a luxurious Japanese-style room by a maid carrying a lantern.

This room was decorated with golden splendor, with exquisite barrier paintings on all sides, and the background was also golden - visitors who looked around would find that the walls were full of wandering dragons, lions, pine trees, plum blossoms, landscapes, and flowing clouds - not knowing whether it was gold leaf that was pasted, the ground and clouds of the background were all light golden in color.

"It has been a long time since I last greeted you, Lord Ye Ming."

A silver-haired girl supported herself with both hands on the ground, kneeling in the center of the room, and the maid who finished her leading work retreated outside the paper door at the back.

Hei Ji Mountain Xiaohagi, his fiancée.

She was kneeling on the tatami, her long silver hair neatly gathered behind her.

"I am very sorry for what happened before... The misjudgment of my subordinates almost cost you your life. I hope you can forgive me."

The more serious the apology, the more embarrassed Ye Ming felt, and his face could only be described as a "forced smile".
