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

Chapter 108 The One Who Should Be Protected
——No, that’s not wrong.

Ge Hua refused to admit such a thing.

Don't let your imagination run wild - even if this guy has that kind of awareness, he's only on stage and has no chance of competing with me.

She took a deep breath and said coldly, "No matter what you say, there's nothing you can do... You have no idea what happened to him or what he's carrying. You're clueless and can't do anything."

"Ms. Gehua, what do you want to say?"

Ye Ming also showed a puzzled expression.

"Oh...it seems you really want to know?"

Ge Hua laughed "Kukukuku" and said, "Do you really have the courage to know this secret? You know, it's the 'shady dealings' of the Kurohimeyama clan. If you get to know about it, there's no way you can escape..."

"Ms. Kuzuka, words like that won't make me back down."

"Then I'll tell you."

Ge Hua sneered confidently, "I dare say that even if you knew the secret, you wouldn't be able to help him, nor would you be able to resolve his predicament. Rather... after knowing this, you would become a burden to him."

"Even so, I want to know."

"very good."

Ge Hua smiled with a look of success.

"Then I'll tell you."

……

True.

Just as Ge Hua said, after knowing about "him", Ye Ming fell into trouble.

The actual situation was far more complicated than she had imagined.

She is not stupid, but she is not smart either. The "secret" related to his life experience involves unimaginable "darkness".

Ye Ming realized that what Ge Hua said was not false, and that it was not something he could solve. Even as an "insider", he might become a "burden" to him.

"How to do?"

She has been in trouble. Although she was going to find an opportunity to explain to Baijie last time, she was interrupted unexpectedly and she couldn't muster up the courage to explain to Baijie again.

"Also, the timing of Master's appearance was too coincidental. Did she show up because she knew I was going to explain that matter to Lord Baijie?"

Ye Ming is also a little wary of Kurohime Yamagata, which causes her to have wild thoughts every day.

"Lord Ye Ming, what do you want from me?"

While the girl was thinking hard, a voice suddenly sounded from the side.

"Ah... Is that Lord Baijie?"

"Just call me Baijie."

The young man shook his head. "I thought you were asleep. What do you want from me so late? Are you worried about tomorrow's trial?"

"Well……"

Ye Ming was silent.

She was sure of her feelings and knew that her feelings for Baijie were "like", but after meeting him, she felt shy and shrank her neck.

"Indeed, indeed."

"I can see that you seem to be troubled by something."

Baijie plans to comfort Yeming.

"Though those three monsters are very powerful, especially if they join forces, it will be even more difficult to deal with them... However, you are not without a chance of winning. It's just that you don't know how to wield your sword."

He thought of what Kurohimeyama Mikado said.

'This little girl Ye Ming lacks that kind of inner driving force.' This sentence points out her flaw very simply and clearly - the girl does not lack the reason to swing the sword, that is something she cannot find herself. She can't think of why she should fight with a sword. The reason for her troubles and the reason why she can't defeat the three monsters are all because of this.

Ye Ming did not meet Bai Jie's gaze. She looked melancholy and remained silent.

"Yes."

After a moment, she admitted with a wry smile.

"Because I've been running away... After the disaster in the territory, everyone expected me to do something, but I couldn't do anything, and I didn't want to do anything. I guess I must have disappointed many people."

"You can't undo the past. No matter how much you think about it, it won't change what happened in the past."

Baijie continued to guide her to think.

"It's useless to dwell on this. I think Lord Ye Ming is not weak. You are not just running away. You have helped me many times and saved me. I will always remember this kindness in my heart."

"Please don't say that."

Ye Ming shook his head: "Sir Baijie, you also saved me."

"However, your help was real, and you didn't choose to escape at that time."

Baijie laughed: "You are not lacking in courage. I think the reason you have been hesitant is because you have not found a reason to swing the sword——"

"Why wield the sword?"

“There are two kinds of people in this world.”

Bai Jie said in a deep voice: "There is a kind of people who can wield the sword to become stronger for themselves, while there is another kind of people who are often willing to wield the sword only for others... Lord Ye Ming, you may be the second kind of people. If you can't find a reason to wield the sword for yourself, then find a reason to wield the sword for others. There should be such people around you, those who need your help, those who need your protection, and those who can only be protected by you truly using your own strength -"

Think about it carefully, Yue Jialuo Yeming, your people, your territory, the displaced people, your sister, and those friends and relatives you knew in the past, aren't they all people who need you to protect with your sword?

Baijie felt a power in his heart and wanted to roar out.

He hoped that the protagonist could cheer up. The world truly needed the protagonist's strength. It needed this girl to quickly become strong and become the mainstay supporting the future.

"Someone who needs... my power to protect?"

what?
Suddenly, Ye Ming opened her mouth, as if she had thought of something, and her pair of black eyes shone with a sparkling light.

"I understand... I understand!"

The haze in her heart was swept away and she jumped up excitedly.

"Thank you, Mr. Baijie..." She held Baijie's hands tightly, her expression shining and extremely happy.

"I understand everything... Yes, I found what I should do."

"is it?"

Baijie was also a little surprised. He didn't expect the girl's reaction to be so big and so excited.

"That's great."

His eyes moved to the two people's clasped hands.

"scare!?"

Ye Ming also noticed this scene. She was so embarrassed that her face was burning with anger, and she struggled to shake off his hand.

"No, sorry... I didn't mean to."

"It's just a small thing."

Bai Jie quickly added, "Did you think of something?"

"Yes, I must thank you, Lord Baijie."

Her pair of black eyes were big and round, staring at Baijie seriously.

"I roughly know what I have been lacking all this time, and next, I also know what I should do."

Ye Ming thought.

"I will fight... because I can't hide behind others, otherwise I won't be able to protect anyone."

She made a vow in her heart that she would protect the person in front of her——

"Miss Ge Hua said I only know how to run away. She was right. In the past, I always ran away, but I won't do that anymore. I want to protect him."

This was the vow she made to herself.

—A promise made to protect others.

Ye Ming felt that his body and mind were full of strength.

"By the way... I also have something very important to tell Lord Baijie."

"Just call me Baijie."

It was rare that she was in a good mood, so Bai Jie didn't mind getting closer to her. He still hoped to hold on to this guy's thigh in the future, so it was necessary to maintain a good relationship with him.

"Okay, okay... I'll call you Baijie from now on."

She paused for a moment, chewing on the name "Baijie".

"Although, I like this name very much... But, Baijie, please listen to me about this 'name'."

"About the name?"

"Yes."

Noticing Baijie's face full of "question marks", Ye Ming finally couldn't help it. She couldn't bear to let him continue to be immersed in this deception - that secret must be told to him.

"Baijie, this is not your real name."

She spoke firmly.

"I know that."

Baijie was at a loss for words, as this was just a pseudonym.

"So, Baijie, what was your original name?"

Ye Ming asked a strange question.

Baijie frowned in surprise—then the girl in front of him spoke: "Listen carefully, Baijie, your original name is..."

Her lips moved and she uttered a string of names.

——Strange, what is she talking about?
For a moment, Baijie felt that he could not understand what the girl was saying. She was talking, but all he heard was a buzzing sound.

"Eh... didn't you understand? I mean..."

Ye Ming said something again, but he couldn't understand.

"I said your name—"

She added.

"Hey?"

My mind went blank. I couldn't comprehend what was going on.

"Wait a minute, Baijie...Are you okay?"

The girl seemed to have sensed something and became nervous. Baijie wanted to answer that he was fine, but his consciousness was becoming confused. His brain, rationality and normal thinking were unable to understand what the girl had said before.

Ye Ming spoke again, but his voice was unintelligible and turned into a mixture of buzzing noises, spreading in the dim night.

The annoying buzzing noise was like a sharp, inaudible noise, pouring in through the ears and skin, running around without the brain and mind noticing.

His mind was in a mess, and the only thing he felt was a swirling uneasiness in his chest, like a thick fog.

Baijie's body seemed to lose control and he fell headfirst.

"Are you okay?"

Ye Ming quickly hugged his body. She found that Bai Jie's skin was extremely cold, as if she was touching a dead body.

"W-Why is this happening?"

"Because the curse on the brain hasn't been lifted..."

A sighing sound slowly sounded.

A black-clad girl, resembling a zashiki-warashi, appeared in the night. She shook her head and said, "If I had known earlier, I should have reminded you not to tell him about that."

Kurohimeyama Mikaku replied in a cold tone: "After all, the time is not yet ripe."
