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

Any player of 'Oborozuki's Light' likely remembers the boss at the end of the first chapter quite vividly.

This Great Shrine Maiden, transformed into a vampire, possesses an immense health pool, along with extremely high stats and shameless skills:

She has a built-in damage reduction buff, her normal attacks have a 5% chance of instant death, she summons hordes of minions upon defeating enemy units, and when near death, she unleashes a full-screen ultimate attack (undodgeable, dealing one-third of your health) ... Additionally, she has a special skill specifically targeting back-row healers.

In the early game, the only healer character you can develop is the old Mrs. Juka from the Recovery Institute. However, the old woman has extremely low stats, and her healing skill can only heal one person at a time.

Moreover, once Mrs. Juka is killed by the BOSS upon entering the battle, you can't win that round (because there are few characters with healing abilities early on), and you must restart after dying.

However, since you're entering the BOSS room to fight, and you can't load save files during the fight, you have to go a long way around again after each death.

Repeatedly going through this challenge is like a standard slap in the face for the Yu family, who are full of hope and trying to complete the guide.

'Do you like the shrine maiden's health bar flashing red, initiating an ultra-powerful close-range attack with a 99% hit rate that forces health reduction?!'

'Ugh... I like it so much.jpg'

'Hearing that makes me red with anger.'

'The shrine maiden doesn't play fair, she comes up with a normal attack black flash five-hit combo, I was careless, I didn't dodge...'

'What black flash, does she really think she's a super athlete who has been building up for two hundred episodes?'

Therefore, the player base's resentment towards the final BOSS of the first chapter is predictable.

"No, that's not right!"

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that this guess should not be valid.

"Shiragi Hiruko should not have been vampirized at this point in time. The reason behind her being transformed into a vampire is somewhat complicated..."

Hyakusuke looked deeply at the ghost-like figure, and also had some thoughts in his heart.

"In that case, this should be her figure in a dream... After all, I can appear in dreams, and this Great Shrine Maiden also appears in dreams."

However, her figure in this dream seemed to be frozen, staying still.

"Let's give it a try—"

He strengthened his resolve and took a deep breath.

He took a step towards the figure in the center of the flower field.

Boom!

An overwhelming force field pressed over.

"Cough...!"

It felt like an elephant was trampling on Hyakusuke.

In an instant, he felt that his skin was about to rupture and his limbs were about to be crushed.

'What's going on? Is there a force protecting this woman?'

He gritted his teeth, his joints creaked all over his body, and his body instinctively rejected the intention to move forward.

"...What is that?"

Suddenly, a strong wind rose, and the red flowers in the flower field were blown up by the airflow and flew into the high sky above.

Hyakusuke had already noticed that something was wrong, and all his nerves were tense. He looked up and saw the red flowers spinning and falling like a shower of celestial petals.

However, these red flowers burst open in the air, turning into bright red blood.

Red blood sprinkled down.

It was countless dark red lights, falling from the moonlit night sky like a torrential rain.

A drop of blood fell from the air, and just touched his elbow. With a sizzle, the fibers of his clothes were immediately corroded.

"Ouch!"

Hyakusuke realized the danger.

This was a large-scale attack that even a Curse Reflection Barrier could not defend against.

Whirr, whirr!

A large amount of blood continued to pour down. This was corrosive poisonous blood. When it touched the ground, it corroded the earth, and when it touched the bushes, the bushes burned through. Although the poisonous blood fell like rain, it changed its trajectory along the way, some falling in a spiral shape, and some falling vertically.

The blood rain touched his shoulder, and the pain of the skin being corroded came.

"Damn it!"

Hyakusuke gritted his teeth and endured the pain, raising his spear high.

Poisonous blood sprinkled down like red rain. A drop of poisonous blood like a raindrop was hit by the tip of his spear, and he accurately pierced the drop of poisonous blood.

If he had encountered this trick in the past, he would have had no choice but to accept his fate.

However, Hyakusuke now used the spear technique he learned from the Spear Saint.

In the countless showers of blood, he accurately aimed at the blood droplets falling on him and used the tip of his spear to sweep them away.

His own spiritual power was injected into the tip of the spear, and he used his own spiritual power to interfere with the trajectory of the blood droplets, causing them to twist.

This was a spear technique that ordinary people could not understand, and it was also a secret technique created by the Spear Saint.

"That's right, there's no need to deflect all the blood rain, just aim at the blood droplets falling on me!"

At this moment, Hyakusuke supported his defense with his spear.

The weak spiritual power on the tip of the spear twisted the trajectory of the blood rain falling, sweeping them all away.

This was definitely not a spear technique that ordinary people could master.

However, this was not purely the result of the 'Mirror Image Power'. Being able to sweep away the blood rain with such a spear technique was partly the result of Hyakusuke's own efforts.

From the time he was a Genin, he practiced diligently day after day, even if there was no direction for his practice, even if the target of his spear thrust was always a void, he still practiced diligently day after day.

—He once practiced his spear technique against the moon shadow on the water surface under the moonlight, thrusting.

—He also once tracked the trajectory of raindrops falling in the heavy rain and swung his spear.

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the powerful people of today, in the eyes of those with great talent, such efforts are as worthless as sand.

However, Hyakusuke used his own method to accumulate the sand, and with the awakening of his Mirror Image Power, the results of his past hard work were finally realized.

"Heh... You can actually block it?"

Even he himself was not sure whether this trick would work.

Hyakusuke took a deep breath and gripped the spear tightly.

The blood rain disappeared.

"Let's go!"

He took a step forward.

The next second, his feet, which were close to the ground, gathered strength and rushed forward with all their might.

Hyakusuke rushed forward with all his might.

He thought, if the Great Shrine Maiden Shiragi Hiruko was currently in a deep sleep, then the figure in the flower field should represent herself—

'Then, as long as I stab her with the spear, I might be able to end the current situation!'

Hyakusuke raised the spear in his hand and stabbed towards Shiragi Hiruko with all his strength.

Whoosh!

Something brushed past his body, it was a bloody wind.

Hyakusuke lowered his head and noticed that his lower body had been cut off.

—What kind of attack is this?

"Too, too fast!"

Hyakusuke spat out blood, his upper body separated from his lower body, and he fell to the ground. In the instant he lost consciousness, he saw—

The ghostly figure of the girl kneeling in the flower field like a statue was slowly opening her eyes, which were a pair of bloodthirsty red eyes.

'Could it be... she started to turn into a vampire so early?'

His consciousness gradually sank in the dream world.

Finally, it ended in a deep darkness.

...

There is no concept of death in a dream.

However, being severely injured or killed will still cause confusion and interruption of consciousness.

Hyakusuke had experienced it many times.

But, this really hurts?

No, that's not right, why does my face hurt so much?

"Servant, you actually made me wait so long? How dare you..."

Hyakusuke woke up and felt the pain of his face being stepped on by a foot wearing tabi socks.

"Se... Second Miss?"

He was shocked and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Why... why are you here?"

In an instant, he woke up.

Also, isn't this an inn for lower-level people like ninjas? Why would a big shot like you come here?

Hyakusuke couldn't understand why this Second Miss would condescend to appear here.

"It seems that you have become arrogant since becoming a Chunin recently."

Kazura smiled, but was merciless.

"I told you before to be prepared... 'The day after arriving in Kasumi Castle, there is something important for you to do'. As a result, you made me wait so long?"

The girl removed her foot, she curled her lips slightly, revealing a cat-like smile.

"Now, it's the afternoon of the second day... Tell me, how should I punish you."

"I am very terrified."

Hyakusuke was also shocked.

He had never overslept like this before.

He would usually wake up naturally at the appointed time.

'Could it be because of the damage I suffered in the dream of the Ten'ou Tree Mahoraga? But, Tomosaka and the others didn't wake me up...'

No, come to think of it. I went to bed late yesterday.

Tomosaka and the other lower-level ninjas were too embarrassed to wake me up.

Hyakusuke's forehead broke out in sweat again.

With the Second Miss's personality, she would never let this kind of mistake go. He didn't know what kind of terrible trouble he would be in this time.

Kazura looked at Hyakusuke in distress, her eyes filled with affection.

However, the concentration of her love far exceeded that of ordinary people, and her way of treating her lover would naturally turn from "I like him so much" to "I want to bully him a little".

—This is just like elementary school boys bullying the girls they like, the essence is just wanting to attract the other's attention.

Hyakusuke, being at the bottom of the exorcist industry, could not possibly respond to her deep feelings, and the Second Miss was well aware of this.

However, being clear in reason does not mean being able to accept it emotionally—in fact, in this kind of relationship model, her heart is constantly cycling between "impatient" and "desperately suppressing" these two emotions, and in the end, she can only use slightly "bullying" Hyakusuke to soothe her emotions.

"I can only bully him a little, not too much, and I have to give him some sweets afterwards". Kazura is also well aware of this. The difference in status between the two, and the existence of the mastermind behind the Kurohime clan, all require her to be careful.

Conversely, if she allowed the dark emotions in her heart to gush out like magma, uncontrollably releasing too intense love, then Hyakusuke would probably be swallowed in the literal sense...

"Okay, get ready."

Kazura kicked him gently with her foot.

"We're going to the Renjo Trading Company today... If you do a good job, I'll give you some benefits."

"Please don't say that."

Hyakusuke immediately said some flattering words: "It is a great honor for me to be able to help Miss Kazura."

"Then don't waste time, change your clothes, wash up, and come over quickly."

She said so.

Hyakusuke did not dare to say more, he quickly completed a simple wash, changed his clothes, and followed Kazura with trepidation.

"Let's go?"

Kazura and he had just walked out of the inn when they heard a familiar greeting.

"Hyakusuke-sama... are you free today?"

The silver bell-like melodious voice came from outside the inn. A girl wearing a scarlet crepe silk long kimono was waiting excitedly for a long time. After seeing Hyakusuke come out, she immediately stepped forward.

"If you are free, can you accompany me to—"

Before Tsukikayura Yoake could finish speaking, she was glared at fiercely by Kazura, and the latter let out a "Uwa" sound like a frightened little animal, shivering and taking a step back, making way.

"Sorry, I have other things to do today."

Hyakusuke apologized verbally, while apologizing to her in his heart, feeling that this Kurohime family's Second Princess was not in a good mood today.

'There's no way, even if you are the protagonist, it doesn't mean you'll have an easy time if you run into the angry Second Miss...'

Hyakusuke muttered in his heart.

—Forget it... anyway, I don't want to provoke her today.
