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

Let's set aside Kagehana's schemes for the moment.

Hyakusuke knows it's time for him to risk his life again.

Although he asked Kagehana for help, the young mistress of the Kurokami Mountain family couldn't possibly run directly to Renjo Senjuro and say, "Someone wants to kill you; you'll die at the tomb tomorrow."

If she did that, Renjo Senjuro would only suspect that the Kurokami Mountain clan was behind the assassination attempt, and because Kagehana had purchased contraband from the merchant association, he might suspect that she was planning to silence him after the murder.

So, mobilizing the forces under Kagehana's command or sending Kurokami Mountain's exorcists to save him is out of the question.

No, that won't work either.

"You should have seen it before," Kagehana explained.

"My relationship with that old man Renjo isn't exactly friendly. Besides being a merchant for the government, he's also been sent by Kyoto to monitor the Kurokami Mountain clan. It's just that there are complex factions within the court and the royal family. He's not exactly our enemy, but he's not a friend either."

Renjo Senjuro only had business dealings with Kagehana's faction; he wasn't an ally of the Kurokami Mountain family.

If he were to die, and a civil war were to break out in the Renjo Trading Company, it might not be a bad thing for the Kurokami Mountain clan, because there are still people in the clan who want to take advantage of the situation.

"There's a third way, which is to tell Suo, the lord of Kasumi Castle, in advance," Kagehana said, stating the third option.

"However, the problem is the same as the first: if I go to the lord in a grand manner, it will only arouse his suspicion, so you have to do it."

"I understand."

Hyakusuke nodded, then suddenly frowned.

"But even if I save Chairman Renjo, won't there still be reason to suspect me?"

"That's why we need Ebana's help," Kagehana explained to him.

"Afterward, the events will unfold as follows: you accidentally discover the group assassinating Renjo, so you follow them, and at the same time, you send a message to Ebana, whom you met during a previous mission, and at the critical moment when they are about to kill Renjo, you step in to stop them."

"At the same time, after receiving your message, Ebana will inform the people in the merchant association, and they will notify Lord Suo of Kasumi Castle and the Sacred Sakura Headquarters, and the rescue team will arrive. I will also formally assist as a member of the Kurokami Mountain clan, saying that I received a report from a subordinate."

"On the other hand, Ebana met you before she joined the merchant association, so the possibility of her being an inside agent is very low. You also saved her life, so using her as an entry point will make the whole thing seem natural."

Hearing this, Hyakusuke had to admit that Kagehana's mind was meticulous, and her plan had almost no obvious flaws.

"Let's go!"

Hyakusuke used the collar's invisibility technique to hide in the cemetery for most of the day. When the mist descended late at night, he started running.

Inside the barrier distorted by the Armor Formation, a person's sense of spatial orientation is also distorted. However, Hyakusuke can rely on the shikigami for communication to guide him.

"Go in this direction."

"Miss Kagehana, you can even crack this kind of formation."

"Crack it? How is that possible? I just tampered with Renjo Senjuro, so I can know his location..."

Uh? Well, that's certainly in character for this young lady.

The swallow-shaped paper shikigami flew swiftly through the air, and Hyakusuke also passed through the thick fog, rushing forward quickly.

Just then, he heard the sound of fighting.

Sizzle!

The fog was like a thin curtain, and he tore it open at once, revealing an absurd scene.

"...Are those revenants? And those fighting them are Renjo Senjuro's guards? Damn, those things are super hard to kill!"

The guards were dressed in outfits with the Renjo Trading Company's crest on them, so they were easily identifiable.

The resurrected revenants were probably the corpses in this cemetery, buried in the ground for who knows how many years. After being awakened, they absorbed soil and stone and transformed back into their former appearances.

Revenants cannot be easily killed. As long as it is night, they will quickly regenerate even if they are defeated.

The guards of the Renjo Trading Company were strong, but they were struggling to cope. On the other hand, the three powerful girl dolls were motionless, because their master was standing there blankly, as if bewitched, muttering a name.

"Miss Miyo."

Renjo Senjuro's eyes were blurred, and he stretched out a hand.

In his eyes, it was a smiling woman.

However, in Hyakusuke's eyes, the woman's delicate mouth had unusually sharp teeth.

"You can't die here."

He couldn't close the distance with the "Shrinking Ground Scroll" in time, so Hyakusuke threw his ninja blade.

Whoosh!

The tip of the blade pierced through "Miyo's" neck.

"Mi...Miyo?"

Suddenly, Renjo Senjuro's eyes changed dramatically. In that instant, he was completely awake.

'No...it's a revenant? Was I charmed?'

He quickly took a step back.

Whoosh!

Three figures flashed past like the wind. The three activated dolls moved with speeds that no human could achieve, and the kusarigama, long-handled axe, and steel claws left trails behind them.

"Miyo's" body began to fall apart, and the woman's face cracked open, falling into a pool of blood with a look of surprise. No, it was just bubbling mud, and the revenant's body was made of dirt and sand.

"It's just a clay doll."

Renjo Sentaro's eyes turned cold.

"Everyone, close your eyes!!!"

Hyakusuke no longer hid his presence. He shouted and threw a flashbang.

This time he threw it very hard, and the flashbang flew high into the sky and exploded, causing a flash of light to bloom in the night sky.

All the revenants wailed, and their pale faces were illuminated by the light, and their bodies began to melt.

As I said before, these things can only operate at night, and the reason is that they cannot resist the "sun."

"...Containing powerful yang energy, and strong light, is enough to temporarily dissolve their forms."

His tactic was successful. The revenants quickly crumbled.

"Kill them."

Renjo Sentaro shielded his eyes from the bright light and ordered the three dolls in his mind.

The three doll girls, wielding different weapons, attacked from three directions. The dolls wielded different weapons and swung heavy blows with lightning-fast movements.

"Boring."

The tall strong man moved, standing in front of Jinno like a giant shield.

The axe was bounced off, the kusarigama was shattered like tiles, and the doll wielding the steel claws had its arm grabbed and its wrist twisted.

With a backhand throw, the petite doll girl was easily slammed to the ground.

"Get lost!"

The strong man raised his foot, and the shockwave shattered the earth, and the storm kicked up sand.

The dolls were also kicked away, almost completely destroyed.

"I'm annoyed...die with your master."

Kuki waved his hand, and a glowing green orb was thrown into the air, and a piercing screech arose!

"Not good!"

Renjo Sentaro's eyelids twitched wildly, and his body crawled with goosebumps from the cold.

A strong ominous premonition welled up in his heart, and the glowing green orb struck through the air, containing a destructive energy.

"It'll explode!"

No, it didn't explode.

A hand suddenly blocked the glowing green orb, grabbing it with five fingers.

Crack.

The left hand wearing the gauntlet used a force to crush the orb. The orb shattered. The spots of light flared outward and scattered.

"Don't even think about getting through here!"

Hyakusuke raised the seven-section staff in his hand, and some burning sensation still remained in his palm.

'I guessed right...those two are also responsible for assassinating Renjo!'

He squinted at the two enemies.

He was too familiar with their identities. These are the two enemy minibosses that appear in the first chapter's main storyline.

"Big dumb guy, let me deal with you?"

Hyakusuke taunted the enemy.

"Looking for death."

Kuki looked at Hyakusuke as if he were looking at an insect.

"What an unexpected and troublesome guest."

Jinno sighed, and with a wave of his sleeve, scattered talismans mixed in with the mist.

"Seriously, a good situation has been ruined by an unexpected spoiler."

The ground rumbled and sank, cracking open a large hole, and from the depths of the cave that seemed to lead to the underground, a huge bone frame slowly crawled out. It was a bone demon called "Gashadokuro."

The skeletal monster with a skull head had greenish-white phosphorus fire burning in its black eye sockets, and the mouth without a tongue made a "click-clack" sound.

"Protect Lord Senjuro."

The bald-headed guards also rushed over to protect Renjo Senjuro, and the battle entered the second round.

"It's no use just protecting me. We can only leave here if we defeat that sorcerer!"

Renjo Senjuro shouted loudly, "Everyone, attack together and find a way to take down these two guys."

"What's the use of attacking together?"

Kuki sneered, and a strong wave erupted from his body.

The atmosphere was distorted, and the impact twisted even the air.

Boom!

The shockwave spread out, and several of the closest guards were blown away.

Kuki's power was unimaginable. Just erupting "energy" from his body could create a shockwave.

However, a figure went against the current.

It was Hyakusuke's figure, and he showed a confident smile.

While waving his left hand to disperse the shock formed by the demonic energy, he thrust out with his spear.

"Looking for death!"

Kuki swung his fist.

His attack was simple and barbaric.

To put it bluntly, it was just an arm sweeping across, and the wind pressure suddenly stirred up a storm.

Hyakusuke ignored the storm and thrust the spear in his hand with all his might.

Buzz...

A burst of light flashed from the blade of the spear.

Pfft!

Blood spurted out, and a severed arm flew into the air.

"M...my hand!?"

An expression of astonishment appeared on Kuki's face.

At the moment of the clash, one of his arms had been blown away.

This insect! Can also hurt me?
