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

In the blink of an eye, Mata was decapitated. The boy's head, trailing a long streak of blood, rolled onto the ground.

His eyes still held disbelief, seemingly unable to believe that the person he admired would draw a sword and cut off his head.

"Impressive acting."

Kohagi's light purple eyes held a hint of coldness.

"Unfortunately, it can't fool me."

"Is that so?"

A woman's voice slowly echoed within the shrine.

"Can you tell me, what part wasn't convincing enough?"

The Black Hime Mountain clan's eldest princess turned around and saw the woman who had spoken sitting atop the tall vermillion torii gate behind her, silhouetted against the moonlit night sky.

Her right hand held a red lacquered parasol, which spun in the moonlight. The kimono she wore fluttered in the night wind.

The hem of her vermillion kimono revealed slug-like pale legs, exposing her smooth thighs. On her swaying feet, she wore wooden sandals with two teeth.

"…"

Kohagi's delicate eyebrows furrowed, and she casually replied, "Mata's personality is actually very cold. He would act obsequiously towards superiors, but he's very indifferent to those beneath him. He doesn't pity the weak and lacks empathy for others. He wouldn't cry in this situation."

She was well aware that she had stepped into enemy territory, but she didn't panic. Instead, she feigned conversation while probing her surroundings.

Invisible spiritual power radiated outwards. The wavelengths, imperceptible to ordinary people, struck the edge of the shrine's space, as if hitting a wall. The spiritual fluctuations all bounced back.

…A barrier?

The Black Hime Mountain clan's eldest princess sensed it. This was a closed-type barrier, the kind that was "difficult to escape without defeating the caster."

Suddenly, the boy's head, which had rolled onto the ground, began to move. The empty eyes rolled around without focus, and the head turned in a circle, its mouth emitting the woman's voice.

"I see, worth noting."

Mata's head contorted, and centipede-like insect legs sprouted from the severed surface. As if possessed, the head scurried away on its dense insect legs, grabbing the right pillar of the torii gate and climbing upwards.

The boy's head climbed along the red-clothed woman's hem to her right shoulder. Mata's face stuck out his tongue and made a face.

"But, the young lady's evaluation is quite harsh~~ I'm not a heartless, bloodless demon woman from the Black Hime Mountain clan…"

The voice returned to the tone of the young boy Mata.

The red-clothed woman patted the young head.

"It's not good to speak like that. This person is the master you serve."

Hearing this teasing, Kohagi raised the seventeenth "Demon Blade: Miutsuromaki," pointing the blade at the vermillion torii gate.

"Who are you? A member of the Eight Fortunes Society… Calamity Fortune, Reverse Fortune, or Smile Fortune, or perhaps Curse Fortune…"

She questioned.

The Eight Fortunes Society had seven high-ranking members, who styled themselves after "Gods of Fortune." The organization itself was divided into eight branches. Because it was a group of sorcerers researching "Outer Methods," each branch was given a different name based on its area of expertise.

Calamity Fortune, led by "Bishamonten." This was the branch of the Eight Fortunes specializing in combat, with all members possessing exceptional fighting prowess. Rumor had it that there was a rare pugilist among the members, capable of flattening rocky mountains with his bare hands and altering the terrain during battle.

Reverse Fortune, led by "Hiruko Ebisu." This branch of the Eight Fortunes researched dangerous and forbidden techniques such as resurrection, artificial deities, and the devouring of leylines. Their actions were radical, and their goal was to invert the world's disasters and fortunes, creating a perfect utopia—a kind of insane ideology.

Smile Fortune, controlled by "Miroku." This was a rather twisted group within the Eight Fortunes Society, specializing in mental manipulation, hypnosis, suggestion, and brainwashing… In the game's storyline, some of the fan service scenes, as well as some of the H, abusive, and twisted CG, were contributed by this branch.

Then, there was the final Curse Fortune, led by "Daikokuten." This branch absorbed Western alchemy and combined it with local curse tool research, conducting research on things like the Philosopher's Stone and alchemy. Its members were closer to a group of mad scientists, a branch that specialized in crazy inventions.

The information on the other "Four Fortunes" was extremely scarce, and their actions were particularly secretive, but their degree of danger should not be underestimated.

"Hehe."

The woman holding the parasol smiled coldly.

"The young lady is truly forgetful. First, let me state that I am not someone sent by the Eight Fortunes Society. My name is Fuzaraku Sakuru. If you don't recognize that name, then you should remember the name 'Shizuki,' right?"

An astonished expression appeared on Kohagi's face.

"The Shizuki Party?… I never imagined you would stoop to colluding with the Eight Fortunes Society. The name of Shizuki will be tarnished."

The woman's face began to crack at those words.

Actually, it didn't, but the drastic change in expression gave that impression. Her face was filled with anger, and her eyes were filled with hatred.

She bit her lip so hard that her teeth clattered.

"You—dare—say—such—a—thing…"

A violent killing intent swept over the area, and the red-clothed woman released a tremendous spiritual power wavelength, as if responding to her killing intent.

An aura beyond human comprehension emanated from behind Kohagi as well. A chill ran down her spine, as if pierced by thousands of tiny needles.

Even a powerful exorcist like her felt the ringing in her ears and the chill that assaulted her. An immensely powerful demonic aura, almost capable of piercing the heavens, radiated outwards, changing the very composition of the atmosphere.

The surrounding air pressure changed drastically, and a gale blew in, turning into fierce torrents of air. Even without turning around, Kohagi could sense two powerful demonic energy masses behind her. From the ruins of the mountaintop shrine, two enormous shadows had descended at some point.

An upper-tier monstrous demon, like a small mountain, was perched there. One was a black spider with an oval body and eight legs. Mixed within its demonic aura was a faint divine aura—a fallen indigenous deity.

The other was a monk sitting on a floating giant shell. However, the monk's head was a giant squid. The monstrous demon wore a splendid and ornate monk's robe, covered with exquisite embroidery and gold and silver threads.

Many wet tentacles dangled from the giant shell, unaffected by gravity, covered in suckers and slowly wriggling.

"These are two guests who have been invited."

Fuzaraku Sakuru's smile turned into a grin.

"The Earth Spider is seeking revenge for the Great Spider Demon that was killed earlier—its fragmented avatar… As for the Red Barrier High Priest, it is researching the union of humans and demons, experimenting to create new hybrid life forms. Therefore, it needs you as its research subject."

"Indeed."

The Red Barrier High Priest, the squid monster, moved its tentacles and slowly explained in a human voice.

"The conflict between humans and demons is nothing more than a difference between races. Shakyamuni also said that all living beings are equal, and all sentient beings in the world possess Buddha-nature, without any difference. There should not be continuous mutual killings between humans and demons. My goal is to resolve this conflict and achieve peace and harmony in the world."

The voice of this demon monk was filled with an emotion of pity for all mankind.

"However, the demon race is too complex, and humans are too arrogant, always thinking they are the masters of all things. In reality, your ancestors were just descendants of monkeys who climbed down from trees, and there is nothing superior about you compared to demons."

"I believe that the best way is to completely demonize humans and integrate them into the demon race… Young lady of the Black Hime Mountain clan, may I invite you to participate in my plan? If this succeeds, it will naturally benefit the people of this world."

Black Hime Mountain Kohagi naturally would not believe such twisted sophistry.

She simply stabbed the blade of "Demon Blade: Miutsuromaki" into the ground.

In an instant, a color as black as ink spread out from her feet in all directions—a dense shadow.

The black shadow, like a liquid living thing, writhed and expanded. Like a black ocean, it rapidly expanded outwards.

"Sixth 'Soaked Hair Ball,' Seventh 'Crossed Dragon,' Eighth 'Dawn Crow,' Tenth 'White Beard'… Eleventh 'Shura Evil Ball,' Thirteenth 'Barbarian Blade Poison Foam,' Fifteenth 'Wild Thunder Refined Fang'…"

Kohagi rapidly recited a string of words.

Each time she announced a name, a blade after blade emitting a strong demonic aura would burst out from the shadows.

These were all demon blades that she had personally forged, each one sealing a powerful demon, each with a different design.

Some were forged from beast bones, others emitted a bone-chilling coldness, and still others had an eerie steel blade that radiated a blood-red light… A dozen or so demon blades vibrated wildly under the moonlight, and a violent demonic aura lingered on the blades, releasing a cold killing intent.

"Although I don't know if you are the Eight Fortunes Society, the Shizuki Party, or an alliance between demons."

Half of the silver-haired girl's face was shrouded in a deep shadow, only her lips were smiling.

"But, it's enough to crush you all…"

The woman holding the vermillion parasol laughed at these words. The Red Barrier High Priest sighed, and even the fur on the eight legs of the Earth Spider, with its mountain-like body, trembled slightly. These three powerful beings each expressed their disappointment at the foolishness and bravado of the girl before them, who did not know her own limitations.

"You are too arrogant… Princess of the Black Hime Mountain clan."

With Fuzaraku Sakuru's declaration, the spiritual power emitted by the two upper-tier monstrous demons began to increase. The shrine on the mountaintop had become a vortex of spiritual power.

The pressure that came howling in was enough to suffocate ordinary people, but the silver-haired girl's eyes flashed with a cold will.

She quickly drew the demon blade "Wild Thunder Refined Fang." It was a nodachi of astonishing length, with the glowing number "Fifteen" engraved on the habaki at the base of the blade. She raised the nodachi high into the sky, summoning a tremendous light from the void, enough to dispel the darkness.

Because the light was too dazzling, the blinding light even scorched the three powerhouses present. Fuzaraku Sakuru had no choice but to block the strong light with her parasol.

The Red Barrier High Priest closed its eyes, using only its demonic aura to sense the changes in its surroundings. The Great Spider seemed to retreat backwards, also afraid of the light.

The torii gate at the third hour of the ox became the starting point of a magnificent battle!!
