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

"Young man, do you really know what you're saying?"

Renjo Senjuro put his hands in his sleeves and shook his head.

"We don't even know where Hiiragi Hiruko is hiding right now, how can we talk about saving her?"

His guards activated a silent barrier, otherwise these conversations would become a "loud conspiracy" in a public place.

"She's in the Guardian Forest, and I have a way to find her."

Hyakusuke didn't forget to add: "Miss Kuzuha told me all this. She had sensed an evil aura in the Guardian Forest before, which must have been left by the vampire who occupied Miss Hiiragi Hiruko's body."

"Your Black Princess Mountain clan's intelligence network is truly terrifying."

Renjo didn't doubt his words.

He was just marveling at the well-informed nature of the Black Princess Mountain family.

"However, successive Great Miko have been affected by this evil force, not to mention Hiiragi Hiruko, who is now beginning to turn into a vampire. It's not as easy as you say to exorcise the 'curse of blood' from her body."

"However, there is someone here who can do it."

Hyakusuke turned his head and looked at the glowing blue butterfly.

"Lord Yomyo, you should have awakened the 'Soul Shaving' technique, right? If it's you, you will definitely be able to help Miss Hiiragi Hiruko."

"Eh... what, are you talking about me?"

Yomyo's voice became flustered.

She probably didn't expect the topic to turn to her.

"Soul Shaving?"

Renjo Senjuro widened his eyes. He tried to hide the turmoil in his heart and took a deep breath: "I've heard of it. It's a divine skill that the first leader of the Tsukigara clan comprehended. You're saying that the young master of the Tsukigara family also knows this skill."

"It should be true."

Suddenly, a man's voice interjected. Renjo and Hyakusuke looked in the direction of the voice and noticed the paper shikigami floating in the air.

"It's you, Kukuri Ichiki."

Renjo was a little surprised.

"Where were you before?"

"I and the Night Walkers have been responsible for helping the people in the city who have not yet taken refuge in the surrounding temples and shrines to evacuate."

That was indeed Kukuri Ichiki's voice.

"My subordinates have seen with their own eyes that she activated the 'Power of Soul Shaving' and also cut off a vampire's arm."

"Is this true?"

"Yes, theoretically, it is not impossible to kill the curse of blood on Hiiragi Hiruko with the power of soul shaving, but it is difficult to do."

"Difficult, which means the difficulty is still very high, right?"

"It would be a different matter if there was support from Black Princess Mountain Kuzuha and the Black Princess Mountain family."

Kukuri Ichiki asked Hyakusuke.

"So, how much help can your Black Princess Mountain clan provide now?"

"I'm sorry, Black Princess Mountain can't provide much help."

Hyakusuke shook his head.

"Miss Kuzuha is trapped by someone on the lord's side, and the exorcists of the Black Princess Mountain clan are also having difficulty coming to support for various reasons."

He explained the situation on Black Princess Mountain.

"It was an accident that Miss Homura and I were able to come. In the current situation, we have no choice but to play all the cards we can in our hands."

"Is that so?"

Kukuri Ichiki nodded and sighed: "We can't expect too much from the imperial court either... I don't think the imperial court will be able to send people in a short time. Although there are also powerful clans and local lords of the traditional 'Buke Hachidate' in Dewa Province, the situation outside has also changed. With the increase in the number of monsters, they only have the power to protect themselves."

"If it's just us, it's still not enough to get rid of this situation."

Renjo Senjuro shook his head, and his attitude obviously became pessimistic.

"Please wait a moment."

Suddenly, Yomyo of the Tsukigara clan's voice came from the blue butterfly shikigami.

"If everyone gives up at this time, not only that Miko Hiiragi, but also the people of Kasumi Castle will not be able to survive, right?"

Yomyo expressed her opinion.

"We can't just leave like this. My Jikeiin is a shelter for orphans. Besides here, there are still people in the city taking refuge, right? We are the so-called exorcists. Everyone clearly trusts us and calls us that, but we run away at the critical moment. This is definitely not the best choice."

She emphasized her tone.

"Everyone, think about it again, maybe we can come up with a better solution."

"Young master of the Tsukigara family, you say that lightly, but it's not actually that easy, right?"

Renjo Senjuro, the "official merchant," shook his head. He was a realist and not someone who could be easily persuaded.

"This is an act that will put everyone's lives on the line. At least we, the Renjo Trading Company, find it difficult to invest valuable manpower in such a thing."

He said here and glanced at Kukuri Ichiki.

"Kukuri, you wouldn't agree to such a naive idea, would you?"

"No, I think it's worth a try."

Kukuri Ichiki said, "Also, I'm also sending people to search for Hiiragi Hiruko's whereabouts. In fact, even if all of you leave, I will find a chance to kill her alone to solve the Shinboku tree's mutation... Of course, if Yomyo's 'Soul Shaving' can cut off the curse on her body, I won't refuse this plan either."

"You?"

Renjo Senjuro blinked.

"Kukuri, you really have this plan."

Kukuri Ichiki was silent.

Everyone also remained silent.

"There is a chance of winning."

Hyakusuke took this opportunity to speak again: "Lord Renjo, I would like to ask if the Renjo Trading Company has preserved an item, which is the relic of the Bow Saint from 150 years ago. It is said to be an important item related to the 'Great Sealing of the Hundred Demons'."

"N-No, why do you even know about this?"

Renjo's shock was imaginable.

Honestly, it had reached the point where he had to force himself to kill people to silence them.

"Okay~ Forget it, I do have that relic, after all, it's something entrusted to our clan to keep!"

At the same time that Renjo spoke, a "bang" of explosion came from the direction of the main gate, and the several layers of barriers that the spellcasters had placed inside and outside the hall building shattered in an instant——

Whoosh!

Demonic energy also spewed in from the outside, and the violent demonic power wavelengths resonated loudly, stunning everyone present.

"Hehe."

A tall man walked in from the destroyed main gate, his body extremely burly, covered with solid muscles.

"Although I knew I would run into acquaintances, I didn't expect even you to be here, kid."

The tall man exuded a strong demonic aura, and he tilted his rock-like short neck, staring at Hyakusuke.

"It's a rare opportunity, I must kill you and Renjo Senjuro this time."

"Kuki?"

Hyakusuke didn't expect to see this person again.

"Wasn't this bird demon already killed by us!?"

Renjo Senjuro also opened his mouth wide.

The guards behind him also became nervous, reaching for the swords at their waists, and the spellcasters hired by the trading company also clenched the talismans in their long sleeves.

The relaxed atmosphere in the hall until just now had disappeared without a trace.

Roar!

The strong man "Kuki" roared.

A gust of wind instantly blew up, mixed with a fiery and angry demonic wind, and rushed towards everyone.

This was a demonic aura that was almost comparable to that of a fierce demon.

It came like a storm, that penetrating feeling of oppression. Everyone present was motionless.

It was as if they were afraid of the roar just now, and their bodies became unable to move.

But, except for one person.

Hyakusuke acted in that instant.

He rushed up like an arrow, and in that instant, his whole body was entangled with spiritual power, turning into a meteor and instantly killing him, rushing through the air.

"Falling Star."

Hyakusuke manipulated his spiritual power, and the moment he ran, he seemed to turn into a chariot. The mass of the man and the spear increased explosively, and the tip of the spear pierced Kuki's body, knocking the monster away like a cannonball.

'I can't let this guy enter the hall and cause more damage!'

He came to this conclusion in an instant, and the spear held in both hands contained the power of spiral penetration.

"Insect, you're courting death!"

Kuki's flesh was not pierced. Steel feathers grew out of the skin on his chest, and his shape was also distorted. Without the pure air released by the Tenjin Sakura, there was no need for him, as a great demon, to maintain his human form.

More feathers drilled out from under the flesh, the strong man's face became more and more hideous, and huge long wings stretched out from his back, with sharp feathers on the edges.

"Get out of here!"

Something like a sonic weapon impacted on Hyakusuke. His eardrums were almost shattered, and he was paralyzed by the impact and bounced backward.

"Insect, the last battle doesn't count. This time, I will let you truly experience what despair is."

Kuki roared, raising his whole body's demonic energy, spreading his wings, and carrying out a more thorough transformation. His whole body grew steel feathers, and the dark demonic energy also expanded in the air.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooo——"

It let out a sharp and high-pitched cry, transforming into its own demon form prototype.

The Iron Chicken of the Underworld.

That was a monster with an iron crown on its head, covered in steel-like feathers, and was believed to live deep in hell, eating the sinners in hell, chiseling through their skulls, and sucking their brains, as a punishment.

Boom!

A huge explosion also came from the other side of the castle town street, as well as a strong demonic aura and spiritual energy. It was the exorcists and the great demons fighting against each other.

'It seems that Yomyo and Kukuri Ichiki were probably forced to participate in the battle.'

Hyakusuke sorted out the situation in his mind.

He also did not expect that this guy "Kuki" could be resurrected after death.

'Necromancy? In that case, Akamatsu Mitsusuke is very suspicious.'

His face became gloomy, and his blade-like sharp eyes moved to Kuki's true form, which was this chicken-shaped great demon.

"...Is the Hachi Fuku Society also involved?"

The Iron Chicken did not answer, nor did it bother to answer.

Its pair of bright eyes like dripping blood stared at Hyakusuke.

——Dim anger and killing intent.

The complex vortex rolled into a vortex in these blood-red demon eyes, turning into demon energy and lodging in the pupils.

"Ooooooooooooooooooooo——"

The sound waves rushed like a storm focused on one point.

The ground was torn apart, and the sound waves bombarded like bombs.

Hyakusuke used the "Shrinking Earth Talisman" he had retrieved from Homura to dodge, and he also took out the Omagamaru.

'This guy's demonic energy is almost comparable to that of a fierce demon, but in essence, he is still a great demon. There's no way, I'm the only one who knows the weakness of his true form... In this situation, I have no choice but to let me, this bait who is 'hostile', go into battle, so that the ordinary people in the hall can be transferred out...'

Hyakusuke did not hesitate and directly pulled out the Omagamaru.

The next second——

The tip of the short sword was aimed at the heart and pierced in.

He pierced his own heart, no, he injected the demonic power of the Omagamaru into it, into the "spiritual core" in the heart.

Boom!

The chest seemed to be blown open.

The Omagamaru disappeared at the wound, only the heart seemed to have fire buried in it.

The heart throbbed, a piece of heat.

It was like a vortex of flames and heat, scalding heat energy spreading to every inch of the body—this heat flow spread out from the heart as the center, towards the head, shoulders, towards the hands and feet—spreading through the cells of the whole body, tearing apart obstacles, and erupting towards the world.

The change happened.

In the next instant, a purple-black viscous aura similar to magma, or rather miasma, spewed out from Hyakusuke's whole body.

His body was like a torrent where some kind of power was lodged, where a huge light erupted, and even his own figure disappeared—in the purple-black pillar of fire that was rising and swaying, something was being reshaped.

Seeing this scene, the pupils of the Iron Chicken "Kuki" suddenly contracted, and with a "唰" sound, its wings spread out, and countless blade-like steel feathers flew over.

But before it could get close, it was corroded in the purple-black heat wave, which was a poisonous flame containing poison.

Also in the pillar of fire-like purple-black light and shadow, Hyakusuke's flesh began to change, and a layer of armor-like product appeared on his body, which was a whole body of dark and deep purple bone armor—the carapace of a scorpion, spider, rhinoceros beetle or some kind of poisonous insect, which would only make people think of the exoskeleton of arthropods, attached to the surface of the body.
