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

"I-Is that so?"

Tsukigara Yomei subconsciously glanced at her grabbed right hand, forcing a smile while also making a troubled expression.

"Actually, I didn't do anything remarkable."

"The truth is the truth. I must thank you for coming to my rescue."

Hyakusuke sensed that she wasn't resisting his intentions too much, so he took a step forward, closing the distance.

"Also... you might not know anything about me, but I've been watching you."

Watching?

What does that mean?

Yomei suddenly snapped back to reality. She seemed to have thought of something, her face flushing red as she covered it with the sleeve of her other hand.

'Wait, is this a confession...? Lord Hyakusuke, could he be infatuated with me...?'

--No, that's not good. I'm actually a man, but doesn't he know my identity?

She was very nervous, her heart beating rapidly.

That's right, I'm considered a beauty after becoming a woman. He's probably just temporarily captivated by my beauty.

--Tsukigara Yomei, don't get carried away, and don't waver. This is just a misunderstanding!

She desperately tried to convince herself in her heart.

But even saying "calm down" to herself, Yomei still had some strange thoughts.

The man before her, knowing that she was also a man, still held affection for her, which might mean that his feelings for her transcended simple gender.

Instantly, agitation, confusion, doubt, shame, and a hint of excitement rushed in. All sorts of complex emotions filled her chest like magma.

"N-No, it's not like that."

She couldn't hide her anxious emotions.

"I, no, I know your situation very well."

Hyakusuke added impassively, "You might not realize your own importance, but I understand it very well... I feel like I need to explain some things to you..."

He didn't notice that the girl was standing still, her fist gripping the flute trembling slightly, her face flushed redder than ever, beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.

No, even Hyakusuke couldn't read minds. He assumed that the secret of her female transformation had been discovered, causing Tsukigara Yomei to waver.

"What happened to you isn't something to worry about," Hyakusuke said in a deep voice. "There will be a solution later. The Tsukigara territory in Kita-Oku has been taken by demons, but we will definitely find a way to take it back. In the future, there are many things that I hope to help you with."

--What... what does this mean?

Yomei bit her cherry lips, her body and mind feeling an unprecedented sense of shame, wishing she could immediately cover her face with her hands.

'He said he wants to help me?'

Hyakusuke's grip on her right hand slowly tightened. Yomei realized that she could barely pull her hand from his grasp, and her body couldn't escape backward.

His face drew even closer, and his masculine aura approached. Half of her body went limp, completely stunned, her mouth dry, her heart pounding like a drum, and her breathing becoming rapid.

'He... cares about me this much?'

Yomei's heart pounded.

Am I so sinful that even a man like this is captivated by me?

"I will do everything I can."

Hyakusuke looked determined.

'S-So, in other words... he wants to protect me?'

A certain emotion in her heart couldn't be suppressed.

"A-Are you serious?"

Finally, Yomei asked.

Hyakusuke nodded seriously.

"I can swear it."

He said, "Yomei-sama, please believe me. There are some important things that I must tell you."

Hyakusuke thought, although he couldn't reveal the truth, he could disclose a significant portion of the information to her.

'For example, information related to the upcoming 'Tenju Sakura Mahora Chapter,' which is crucial for a successful攻略.'

"As long as you believe me, we will definitely find a way to solve the problems of the future."

Hyakusuke gripped her wrist, deeply expressing his feelings.

"After becoming a woman, you must be in great pain, very unbearable... Please rest assured, I will also find a way to solve this matter."

"--I will help you turn back into a man!"

Huh?

The girl's face began to crack.

No, not really cracking, but the expression was changing so drastically that it gave that illusion. That blushing, amorous face was instantly covered with frost.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Tsukigara Yomei said in a cold voice.

With a "snap," her right hand pulled away, the force almost knocking Hyakusuke's hand away.

"My name is 'Mei,' the daughter of the Naka-ya family... It's laughable that you would confuse a woman like me with the young lord of the Tsukigara clan."

The girl stared at him expressionlessly.

Hyakusuke's hand froze instantly.

"That's all for today."

Tsukigara said with an expression like she was wearing a mask, only raising her eyes upward.

"...I'm going back."

She turned around and walked away quickly.

"W-What's going on?"

Hyakusuke couldn't believe it.

...The atmosphere was good just now. Why did she suddenly get angry?

"What... where did I go wrong?"

He muttered blankly.

The start was very smooth, but it ended in failure, a complete breakdown.

--I completely don't understand why she suddenly changed her face?

...

The ox-cart caravan heading to Lake Yukiyasha was slowly traveling along the road.

The half-demon oxen pulling the carts had steady hooves and stamina superior to camels. They were a breed specifically raised by the Kurohime clan for hauling carts.

In this fictional world based on the game 'Oborozuki no Akari,' the existence of a transcendent system has led to a different path in technological development.

According to the game's background setting, during the Crusades, Europeans accidentally opened the gates of Hell in the holy city of Jerusalem, leading to demons invading Europe. Countless mortals were corrupted into demonspawn, rapidly spreading throughout Europe and West Asia, nearly destroying the surrounding nations.

Under the leadership of the Vatican Papal Court, a holy war broke out. The centuries-long war between humans and demons became the unending history of Europe.

This battle continues to rage in Europe to this day. Utilizing advanced alchemical techniques, the thirteen holy knights, who absorbed the sacred blood of early Christians, became the most powerful heroic units in the human world.

Even so, the human coalition forces were constantly defeated by the demons and their creations. To counter the Hell Legion, the Church did not hesitate to use forbidden powers, stealing various perverted "black technologies" from future timelines, pushing the initial industrial route with steel, gunpowder, and alchemical techniques.

At that time, the corrupted lands of Eastern Europe were covered in trenches, with artillery, bullets, and witchcraft attacks crisscrossing. Soldiers, clutching crosses, huddled in the trenches, trembling.

Factories with towering chimneys, operating by absorbing poisonous gas from the other-dimensional hell, were everywhere in Europe. Mortals worked cruelly like ants, driven by whips and supervisors, working with all their might like gears in a giant machine for the "Holy War."

On the other hand, in the Far East, the Central Plains ruled by the Ming Emperor (stuck in the 18th-century timeline), the conflict between righteous and evil immortals and demons, accumulated over several centuries, completely erupted in this era.

The young Ming Emperor had just ascended the throne, the court was unstable, treacherous officials seized power, there were internal and external troubles, and droughts and floods occurred everywhere, with starving people all over the land.

Evil practitioners of dark arts, as well as lurking great demons and giant fiends, were all waiting for an opportunity to act... And the "Ghost King" occupying the Iron Fortress of Beiman Mountain wanted to take advantage of the chaos to establish a netherworld in the human realm.

Many powerful demonic cultivators were also searching for the last fragment of the Chiyou Tablet.

The foreign tribes in the north, bewitched by extraterrestrial demons, were eager to move south at any time, trampling the Central Plains with their horses.

The First Emperor, revered as the first ancestor by vampires, slumbered deep within the Lishan underground palace, slowly opening his blood-red eyes, ready to lead an army of Qin terracotta warriors to tear the earth apart and devour the entire human realm.

The many heavenly immortals residing in the Ruins of Kunlun, possessing the ability of "space-time observers," regarded the changes in the world as a small part of countless time variables, coldly overlooking the earth like chess pieces.

Even if the world were to be destroyed, it would only be a small fluctuation within the vast universe for the higher beings in the Ruins of Kunlun, insignificant - the observers' gazes were cast towards a grander chessboard, a more profound struggle.

"So, I said, Tsukigara Yomei, this protagonist blessed by fate, is very important."

Hyakusuke walked behind the ox-cart, talking to himself in his heart. "Europe is currently in the 'Trench Crusader 2.0' version, with humans and the demon army fighting until their brains are about to explode... On the Central Plains side, it's a confrontation between immortals, demons, righteousness, and evil. In fact, the super-powerful individuals among humans are busy dealing with world-destroying crises."

This has led to the eruption of the Underworld Vortex in Japan, which these super-powerful individuals did not notice. By the time they realized it was a major crisis affecting the world, it was already too late.

This is the same as when a certain priest used "Heaven's Making" to accelerate time, and the Yankee Star of Italy tried his best but couldn't catch up.

"Although I don't know where I offended her, I still need to resolve the misunderstanding?"

Hyakusuke raised his head and turned his gaze towards the ox-cart again.

Ideally, I should find a way to turn her back into a man?

...

What to do?

I think I messed up.

Tsukigara Yomei's heart cried out.

'Waaaaah～～～～～～'

Infinite regret welled up in her heart.

...What am I even angry about?

I was the one who misunderstood in the first place, and I got angry at someone else out of embarrassment.

Remembering the events of last night, her cheeks twitched constantly, and she muttered softly.

'How embarrassing.'

Speaking of which, I should have built a good relationship with my savior... Why did I pick a fight with him for no reason?

So stupid.

She recalled everything that happened yesterday, and whether it was based on annoyance or shame, the girl's ears turned red.

Her younger sister, Ayaka, watched all of this with a cold eye. Her intuition as a woman was extraordinarily keen.

Because of this, she vaguely sensed what had happened to Tsukigara Yomei... In fact, recently, her younger sister had realized that her older brother's feminization tendency was becoming more and more serious.

'This is not good.'

Ayaka thought to herself.

My brother is the one who will inherit the Tsukigara family, and he will need to leave descendants for the clan in the future. The person who is more suitable for him is right beside him. How can he be obsessed with being a woman?

From the moment she got on the ox-cart, Ayaka had been watching Yomei, noticing that she was clearly troubled, sometimes frowning, and sometimes inexplicably blushing... These unusual behaviors made Ayaka also feel disturbed.

My intuition is never wrong.

I never thought she would be attracted to that person...

Fortunately, my brother may not have noticed his own changes yet.

'There is still a chance.'

Ayaka clenched her fist secretly.

'I will not let this happen... Even if the gods in the heavens agree, even if the Tsukigara ancestors in the underworld agree, I, Ayaka, will not agree.'

That's right, I must destroy it!

Ayaka's fingernails dug into her palm because she clenched her fist too tightly.

However, this petite girl seemed unaware...
