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

Well, Bai Jie didn't hear any of those curse-like remarks.

"That... please don't do that."

He quickly interrupted Dong Ying.

"I don't have such thoughts... Besides, I also have something important that I want to ask Miss Dong Ying for help with."

Bai Jie quickly got back to the point.

He was leaving Sukouchi-cho tomorrow, and this matter had to be resolved tonight, so time was of the essence. Moreover, he needed physical strength to fight next, and he had no intention of wasting energy.

"In fact, thirty miles directly west of this Sukouchi-cho is a place called Mushohara. The locals have built a cemetery on Mushohara... However, that place is often haunted."

He explained his intentions to Dong Ying.

"If Miss Dong Ying wants to repay me, could you help me find a way to get rid of the undead causing trouble there?"

"I'm sorry."

Dong Ying shook her head: "I am willing to repay Mr. Bai Jie, but I am not an exorcist, and my spiritual power is not very strong. I probably can't deal with undead and the like."

"No."

Bai Jie waved his hand with a smile.

"I'll take care of the undead. Miss Dong Ying only needs to do one thing."

"What is it?"

She asked puzzled.

"Doesn't Miss Dong Ying play the kokyu?"

Bai Jie said, "You just need to do this."

...

The main plot of the side quest 'Fairy Lake Secret Oath Scroll' is very simple.

After obtaining support from the side NPC Dong Ying, dispel the resentment of a certain ancient court noble at the location of 'Mushohara Cemetery'.

This nobleman was very fond of playing the lute and had the ability to summon wraiths and skeleton soldiers. Ordinary exorcists were no match for him, and powerful exorcists would run away in advance as soon as they appeared, making him very difficult to deal with.

After completing the quest, you can obtain a 'token'.

Take the 'token' to the Snow Hag Lake to receive a reward from the lake owner.

"Basically, there's no difficulty. If it were the protagonist, he should be able to level up to Lv10 or higher according to the original plot. With the strength of Tsukigara Yomei, this battle won't be too difficult."

Of course, that's for the male lead.

Bai Jie estimated that his strength was around LV8.

Moreover, unlike Tsukigara Yomei, he didn't receive elite education from a young age. In addition to mastering several spells, he also learned the 'Oborozuki Hidden Stream Swordsmanship' passed down from generation to generation.

According to the original setting, Tsukigara Yomei came with the full mastery of Oborozuki Hidden Stream Swordsmanship.

Unfortunately, due to her personality, she was inherently unwilling to fight with others and had war-weariness. In the early stages, she basically couldn't muster the will to fight, and her actual combat performance was also very poor.

"If it were the me of the past, the battle at 'Mushohara Cemetery' would be somewhat difficult."

Bai Jie thought to himself, fortunately, he had made some preparations before coming.

Seven-Section Spear, a high-quality spear used by Matsudaira Iemaro in the past.

The spear can be divided into seven sections, and can be long or short, changing at will. In the game, it should be a D+ level weapon. Although it doesn't have any spell enchantment or any special effects, it is still a good spear.

Demonic Gauntlets, a 'gift' from the Second Miss.

This gauntlet is inlaid with a 'jewel', one of the main materials for making the gauntlet, which is the skin of a demon called 'Granny Skin'.

Bai Jie also had a newly received ninja sword, which was much better than the previous ninja sword because it was issued to Chunin.

The blade of this sword was painted black to prevent reflection and was poisoned, and several runes were engraved on the blade.

In addition, his versatile pouch was also filled with several talismans, as well as antidote and pain medicine.

He was also equipped with two smoke bombs, and a newly developed 'flash bomb', but the principle was to use spells rather than chemical explosions.

Before leaving, Bai Jie carefully checked his equipment.

"Mr. Bai Jie, what do I need to prepare?"

Dong Ying asked again.

Bai Jie didn't answer her question, but instead asked her a question.

"Miss Dong Ying, do you know how to use the 'Silent Assassination' technique?"

Dong Ying hesitated slightly, then nodded seriously.

"Yes, I do know how to use it."

Bai Jie thought to himself, this can be said to be a "divine skill" for assassins.

Most people in this world actually have spiritual power in their bodies, because from another perspective, spiritual power is the product of refined life energy.

Even ordinary people who cannot use magic and abilities have 'spiritual tubes' that conduct the circulation of life energy in their bodies.

Powerful exorcists, even if they cannot see with their eyes, can use spiritual power to sense and sense individuals with spiritual power around them - using this characteristic, even the existence of weak spiritual power will be sensed.

Gods, demons, and monsters are also proficient in this method.

However, the 'Silent Assassination Technique' developed by the Shadow Cage Eye Agency can reduce the traces of human spiritual power operation to the point where outsiders cannot detect it.

In this case, monsters and exorcists who are good at using spiritual power perception will subconsciously ignore the other party's aura.

When this technique is developed to the extreme, it can restrain all of one's aura, and under spiritual power perception, it will be like a lifeless stone.

"That's enough."

Bai Jie looked at the sky outside. It was almost dusk, and the sun was about to set.

"It's getting late, we should set off too."

...

'For now... I'd better not go back yet.'

Tsukigara Yomei touched her bulging stomach.

She was stuffed.

There was no way around it, there were so many delicacies at the Sukouchi-cho market, especially the snacks and desserts, she really couldn't resist the temptation and ate too much.

It's strange, she didn't know why, but she had an unusually strong appetite during this period. Moreover, compared to the past, she also found that her self-discipline had deteriorated.

The end result was that she became like this, feeling a little stuffed.

Ayaka seemed to have cooked dinner.

However, she really couldn't eat anymore.

'If I go back, I definitely won't be able to eat what Ayaka cooked, and that will make her unhappy again.'

Considering that if she went back now, she would most likely be scolded by her stepsister, she decided to take a walk outside to digest.

The streets at dusk were quite beautiful, illuminated by the orange sunset, seemingly filled with colors like a lonely mountain.

Tsukigara Yomei admired the surrounding scenery while sitting on a tree branch. This was to prevent her stepsister from not being able to find her, so she asked Matsudaira Iemaro to use shikigami to search for her. Hiding in the tree, she also used invisibility and hid her aura.

"I'll go back in half an hour, she shouldn't be too worried... Anyway, I occasionally need a little personal space."

She yawned and stretched greatly.

Suddenly, the corner of her eye seemed to see something—

"Huh? Isn't that Bai Jie-kakka?"

She quickly fixed her eyes to see, and then noticed a familiar figure, a man wearing a bamboo hat.

Bai Jie-kakka, where are you going? It's already dark.

The other party was the one who saved her.

Yomei wanted to thank him from the bottom of her heart. And... for some reason, she always had an unspeakable sense of familiarity with Bai Jie after contacting him.

"Where exactly... No, now is not the time to think about these things, and who is that woman?"

Tsukigara Yomei then noticed that Bai Jie was also accompanied by a woman, who should be a wandering shrine maiden.

'T-That's a wandering shrine maiden? Why is Bai Jie-kakka hanging out with this kind of prostitute?'

Wandering shrine maidens are not highly regarded in society. Some of them also do flesh business. In fact, the word "prostitute" originally referred to shrine maidens. Later, it simply referred to female entertainers who formed kabuki troupes, traveled around performing, and set up brothels outside the stage.

Of course, there are also real people with spiritual power among the wandering shrine maidens, who are folk exorcists, but there are also many who are just there to make up the numbers.

Tsukigara Yomei was surprised that Bai Jie would hang out with a wandering shrine maiden. He was promoted and joined the ranks of retainers, and traveling with a wandering shrine maiden during a mission would inevitably cause people to gossip.

"C-Could it be that he's planning to buy sex?"

She swallowed and her mood became a little complicated.

Or rather... a little disappointed.

—N-No, but Bai Jie-kakka is also a man, this kind of thing is inevitable.

Tsukigara Yomei thought to herself, she is also a man, and although buying sex is not good, it is somewhat understandable.

She consoled herself while feeling a little depressed, pursing her lips.

She thought that person was a more hardcore man.

Huh... but what am I expecting?

Yomei wanted to get rid of the strange knot in her heart, but an urge like a hundred claws scratching her heart made her take out the shikigami she was carrying.

"Go~~ See what those two are doing?"

She gritted her teeth and threw out the artificial paper shikigami. The shikigami cut into the shape of a human floated in the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

...

Mushohara Cemetery.

There used to be a bamboo forest here, which was later cleared to be transformed into a cemetery. This cemetery occupies an extremely large area, located in the deepest part of the bamboo forest.

The road leading to the cemetery is filled with stone Buddhas built by nearby villagers and townspeople.

Buried here are lonely spirits and wild ghosts of unknown identities, as well as many nameless corpses that died on the streets and turned into dust.

At midnight, the cemetery was originally filled with a murderous atmosphere, with tombstones and stupas covered with moss everywhere.

This cemetery is haunted by vengeful ghosts every night, shrouded in mist, and pedestrians around it dare not approach.

Suddenly, a sound of string music came from the void, faintly vibrating the mist and air.

Suddenly, the sound of a lute came from another direction. The two musical sounds echoed each other, as if confronting each other.

In the depths of the thick fog, a figure suddenly rushed into the depths of the cemetery. He specifically took advantage of the moment when the lute and kokyu were confronting each other from a distance to break in.

"It should be nearby?"

Bai Jie rushed in with his spear. The moonlight was originally bright, but the strange mist in the cemetery made it difficult to identify the direction.

"Here it comes."

He had a feeling at this time, his eyes scanning the ground.

Crack! Crack!

Dozens of pale hands stretched out from the ground, reaching towards the world like white bone flowers.

"Is it finally time to start?"

Bai Jie clenched the spear in his hand, and a gloomy and cold aura filled the surrounding air.

One after another, skeletons crawled out of the cemetery, their bodies condensed with cold spiritual energy.

However, Bai Jie sneered at these skeletons and waved his spear, directly smashing the skeletons to pieces.

"Don't get in the way, I'm not looking for you."

Bai Jie ran directly towards the middle of the skeleton soldiers. The skeleton demons that blocked him along the way had their skulls smashed.

The skeletons in the cemetery are constantly generated and cannot be completely killed.

On the other hand, they are also very weak and not difficult to defeat, but over time, they will consume your physical strength and spiritual power.

"Found it."

His eyes noticed a skeleton warrior that had just emerged.

This is the 'Skeleton Warrior' in Mushohara Cemetery, the leader of the skeleton soldiers in the plot, and one of the subordinates of the vengeful court noble.

However, as the leader, its strength is not high, only a little stronger than the miscellaneous demons. However, if you kill it directly, it will attract the general named 'Araskull', and the difficulty of the battle in the cemetery will increase sharply.

Of course, Bai Jie didn't intend to foolishly deal with it.

He kicked away the rusty knife in the hand of the skeleton warrior who stood up, and then swept the spear head, smashing the little leader to the ground.

"Sorry, I'm going to trouble you next..."

Bai Jie stepped on the dōmaru armor of the skeleton warrior, neatly cutting off its limbs, leaving only the spine and head.

The skeleton's head opened and closed its mouth, and blue phosphorescence burned in the depths of its dark eye sockets. The skeleton warrior was obviously in a rage of powerlessness.

However, this was meaningless to Bai Jie. He raised the 'Skeleton Warrior' with only the spine and head left.

"Tanaka Spine Sword! Complete!"

The next second, he waved this new weapon, smashing the skeleton soldiers that kept popping up from the surrounding area.
