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

Chapter 200 "Fiancée" Ten Articles of Dancing Flowers
—Jijouji Maihana, that's the name of this blonde girl.

She is also one of the female protagonists in "Oborozuki no Akechi".

However, compared to the other female leads, her appearance is relatively late.

Compared to other female protagonists, her character design is also outstanding; she is a girl with blue eyes, long golden hair, and a refined face.

She gives the impression of being pure and flawless, like a transparent doll. Tojouji Maihana is a descendant of Western samurai with Western blood.

Her ancestors can be traced back to the "foreign guards" who invaded the Mongol country. Her "military pillars" clan absorbed the bloodlines of folk exorcists and even witches who wandered from Europe to the Far East islands, becoming a famous exorcist family and a powerful local clan in the western region.

The Jujo family suffered a severe blow because Washizu, the former head of the Tsukigara clan, had an agreement with the clan. The clan arranged for Jujo Maika to come to the Tsukigara clan to avoid disaster, which led to Maika knowing Yoake since childhood.

In other words, they are childhood sweethearts in the usual sense. However, Maika Tojo has a very strong personality, or rather, she is the kind of arrogant character.

Tojouji Maika has a high sense of self-respect, but she has a deep affection for Tsuki Kara Yoake that has been growing since childhood. In the game, she often refers to herself as her "fiancée" and regards the vow she made in the innocent words of childhood as evidence of their marriage agreement.

Yeming was also quite troubled by Wuhua's attitude, but as a gentle male protagonist, she didn't say anything to refute it.

Therefore, in the game, the various behaviors of the Tenjou Maihana become unbridled and increasingly demanding, verbal violence becomes the norm, and physical violence also occurs frequently.

After entering the personal route of Shijou Maika, there will be two options. If you choose to accept her love, she will change from being arrogant to becoming a completely clingy and adorable wife.

However, if you reject her love, Tojou Maika will be severely affected, her personality will become increasingly extreme, and she will eventually develop from a normal tsundere into a DV (domestic violence) level storyline.

In the latter half of her personal route, Maika Tojo uses violence and abuse against Yoake without hesitation, which is a rather extreme part of the story.

This has led to her being viewed very poorly by players.

"Hehe~~ My fists are starting to itch!"

"Alright, alright, reward me with a stomach punch!"

"Miss Maika is so cute... If I were to use a belly punch on her, she would probably cry for a long time."

"The development team is going crazy again. Adding such an obscure element as DV won't attract players at all, right?"

The comments on the forum are generally in this style.

To say whether she's annoying or not is definitely true, and because of the "rejection" option, not many people like the other, originally quite sweet, character storyline.

However, compared to the other three villainous women, people would find her to be rather unremarkable.

"In terms of malice, he can't compare to the Second Miss."

"After all, Fukasaki Ryu's methods are more ruthless..."

"My mother-in-law and Uncle are both disgusting and perverted. It's a pity that neither of them can be won over, hehehe~~"

"The development team may have wanted to design a stupid and evil character, but the character of Wuhua was not well designed, or rather, not outstanding enough. It is also possible that players collectively dislike stupidity, so they do not like her at all."

"I think the problem is that her personal storyline has too little screen time, which makes the character unremarkable and thus her presence in the game is very low."

"What? This character exists... I still think the shrine maiden Fuyutori is the cutest~~"

Among a group of highly distinctive characters, the addition of a short and limited personal storyline, coupled with the fact that her participation in game battles is not very effective (due to limitations), directly resulted in her becoming less noticeable among the main heroines.

"I'm so sorry, it's all my fault. I was too arrogant."

However, the ten-step Maihana was bowing her head very seriously to the two of them, admitting her mistake.

"I...I didn't even notice that it was Lord Miko here. It's all my fault. Please forgive my rudeness..."

Strictly speaking, it was an apology to Hiiragi Hiruko, who was the Great Priestess.

"You can kneel down, prostrate yourself, or even hit or kick me if you like. If this can get Lord Hiruko's forgiveness, it will be a great help."

"unnecessary."

Hiiragi Hiruko didn't even lift her eyes; her face was like a blank, expressionless mask.

The shrine maiden's tone was also very stiff at this moment: "If you want to apologize, apologize to Mr. Hyakusuke..."

However, anyone could see the anger shining in her eyes, which had returned to normal.

“That’s right, Miss, you were really too rash just now.”

The one who spoke was a tanuki, a short yokai named Mame no Susumu, who was also the shikigami of Jujouji Maihana and served as a servant in the Jujouji clan.

Although he is a yokai, Tanuki Mame no Susumu has served as a servant in the Jujoji clan for seventy or eighty years. He is loyal and diligent, and was assigned by the previous clan leader to serve as a close attendant to Jujoji Maika.

However, even the steady and reliable Dou Zhijin often had little way to deal with the rather willful Wu Hua.

“This time it almost turned into a big mistake, but fortunately Lord Yuwu was magnanimous. Also, Mr. Baijie was almost caught in the crossfire. Young lady, why don’t you apologize to him right away?”

Shijoujima Hana quickly and respectfully bowed her head in greeting.

"I'm so sorry to have bothered you."

"You're welcome."

Hyakusuke was quite surprised. He had thought that Tojouji Maika was the kind of person who was unruly and would not easily apologize to outsiders.

However, after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that even in the game, the arrogant part of Totsuki Chima was only directed at Tsukigami Yomei, and she would only behave abnormally then. In the eyes of ordinary people, she should be a well-mannered and elegant young lady.

"I am but a servant; you need not be so polite."

Hyakusuke also quickly whispered to Hiiragi Hiruko.

“Witch, since it was just a small misunderstanding, there’s no need to continue this matter… it’s about time to wrap things up.”

"Okay, okay."

The priestess sighed softly.

She naturally wouldn't refuse Hyakusuke's request.

“Miss Jujo, I have heard about the Jujo family, a prestigious clan in the western country. You are from a prominent family, and I hope you will not make the same mistake again.”

Hiiragi Hiruko was quite angry inside. On one hand, she was upset that her "good time" had been interrupted, and on the other hand, she felt embarrassed and annoyed that she had been seen by outsiders.

Of course, what she found most intolerable was that Tojou Maika actually mistook Hyakusuke for her fiancé... Did this woman have bad eyesight? How could she mistake someone for someone else?

"Yes, it is."

Maika Jujo hurriedly apologized. Seeing her earnest attitude, Hiiragi Hiruko didn't want to make things too difficult for her. Besides, this young lady was indeed sincere.

To be honest, the Jujo family is no ordinary exorcist family. They are a powerful force that gradually developed from the medieval samurai group of the Western Regions—the "Ikoku Keigoban-yaku" (异国警固番役). Their ancestors were originally powerful local families in Suo and Nagato provinces. To this day, the Jujo family still occupies the territory of Suo Province, the westernmost part of Honshu Island. They are a large and powerful family, far surpassing the famous exorcist families of the Mutsu region.

Although the clan suffered internal strife ten years ago, which depleted its internal strength and led to the rebellion of a branch family, the new head of the family, who is also the father of Jujou Maika, has rectified the situation and restored the strength of the main family in recent years.

The Jujou clan, with its powerful background and strong support, was able to stand firm even when facing the Yamato court.

"In particular, this group has contact with overseas powers, adopts mercantilism, actively develops commerce, and carries out internal reforms... Now, their wealth, influence, and power are among the most formidable forces in this island nation."

Hyakusuke was also pondering this question. He thought that in the original timeline, the territory of the Jujōji clan was the Chōshū Domain, one of the major southwestern domains at the end of the Edo period. The game developers must have used the Chōshū Domain as a prototype when designing the background of the Jujōji clan.

"Then, let's get down to business first?"

Hiiragi Hiruko looked at Jujouji Maihana, who had her head bowed, and asked calmly, "May I ask if you have any important business in Dewa Province this time...?"

"that."

Jujou Maika was somewhat uneasy. She knew that this great priestess held a noble status in Dewa Province, and according to some rumors, Hiiragi Hiruko might be a descendant of someone with a distinguished bloodline. If she were to be too impolite on this trip, it would inevitably bring shame to her clan.

"I came here to find Yue Jialuo Yeming..."

Her face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head awkwardly, fiddling with her blonde hair.

"Ye Ming is my fiancé."

With a shy expression and bashful tone, Shijouji Maika lowered her voice and answered softly, in a voice almost audible to herself.

“We made a vow of love to each other, saying that we would get married as soon as we grew up. Now I’m urging him to marry me quickly, which is why I came out to find him… I think it’s about time for Ye Ming and me to get married.”

"Y-really?"

This time, Hiiragi Hiruko was a little flustered. She had realized some problems, so she quickly started communicating with Hyakusuke using telepathy.

“Um… Mr. Hyakusuke, is there something wrong with my understanding, or is this lady mistaken about something? The fiancé she mentioned, isn't that Miss Yoake? But right now she…”

"I know."

Hyakusuke also sighed deeply in his heart.

Jujouji Maihana should still be completely unaware that Tsukikara Yomei is already a woman.

This is troublesome... Hyakusuke is very distressed. Unlike other heroines, Maika is the kind of heroine who has a perfect affection for the protagonist from the very beginning.

When she appeared in the game, she kept saying that she was there to marry Ye Ming, without considering Yue Jialuo Ye Ming's feelings at all.

To put it nicely, Maika Tojo is devoted in love; to put it bluntly, she's single-minded. If you directly reject her overflowing feelings when entering her personal route, she will quickly turn into a violent, ruthless DV-style female character.

Bai Jie couldn't imagine what he would do if he revealed the fact that Yue Jialuo had transformed into a female form.

'Also, if it gets out that Yoru likes me, and Jujou Jimai finds out, it'll be a huge problem. Who knows if she'll do something like eliminating a love rival...'

No, she seems to have a normal sexual orientation. It's really hard to imagine what this woman would do if she knew her beloved had become a woman (and accepted it without any lingering attachment to the past)...

Bai Jie felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about it.

"In short, don't tell Ms. Jujouji Maika about Yomei's situation for now. Of course, I don't intend to hide it from her, I just think it's good for her to be prepared in advance."

He could only explain it to Hiiragi Hiruko.

"Her feelings are also very complicated. I think if the truth were suddenly revealed, Ms. Jujouji Maika might not be able to accept it and might do something foolish..."

"Yes."

Hiiragi Hiruko also furrowed her delicate eyebrows.

"I also think she seems to be the type who is quite impulsive. Even though she didn't recognize the person, she almost attacked with that kind of powerful magic."

Hyakusuke nodded secretly, and then asked another question while reading aloud.

"There's not much we can do for her... But then again, how did she know Ye Ming was in a place like this?"

Hiiragi Hiruko's expression also turned serious, and she turned to Jujouji Maika and asked her the same question.

“That’s right,” she said without hesitation, “The Renjo Trading Company has a good relationship with our Jujo clan and we often have business dealings. In particular, the shipbuilding industry in our Jujo clan’s territory is quite successful. The royal ships used by the Renjo Trading Company and some other powerful clan leaders are mostly from the Jujo clan’s territory.”

The Jujo family's territory, Suo Province, stretches from the east to the south along the Seto Inland Sea. Their territory had professional shipwrights, and in the past, several foreign merchant ships had contact with the Jujo family, who were able to build and repair wooden ships.

Later, these shipbuilding industries developed rapidly, providing royal ships for exorcist noble families and powerful clans to display their majesty, and also building civilian merchant ships.

"Because of their business dealings, the Jujo family also heard about Lord Renjo Senjuro's use of a special cargo ship."

A blush appeared on Shijoujima Hana's snow-white cheeks, and a shy and bashful expression appeared on her face.

"Yoming and I haven't seen each other for quite some time. At most, we exchange greetings through letters during holidays. After the Yuejialuo family's territory was raided, I also strongly invited him to take refuge in the Jujo family, but Yeming did not agree."

Wu Hua's face brightened instantly, and she shook the ribbon in her long hair, revealing a happy smile.

“However, we are not young now. I asked my father for permission, and he said it was no problem. That’s why I decided to come and welcome him. After all, he has been my husband for a long time.”

"...But...but."

Hyakusuke asked in a low voice, "Lord Yomei is determined to reclaim the former territory of the Yuejialuo family, so he shouldn't have any intention of getting married now."

He was too embarrassed to bring up the fact that Yeming had made a marriage agreement with Heijiyama Kohagi directly, so he raised the issue indirectly.

"This doesn't stop us from getting married."

Wu Hua raised her voice, speaking calmly, "I am a wise fiancée, and I understand Ye Ming's desire to reclaim his territory... However, isn't marriage a major life event? Even if he wants to reclaim territory, he should consider the issue of his clan's offspring..."

She paused, then blushed and said hesitantly, "I will definitely give the Yuejialuo clan a child. After we get married and I'm pregnant, it won't be a big problem for Yeming to reclaim the Yuejialuo family's old territory."

"This, this..."

Bai Jie had to say, "Lord Yeming is quite insistent on this point. What if he disagrees?"

"so……"

Her eyes were very firm: "That's why I came here. If that kid Yiming doesn't listen to me, I'll just take him back to the Jujo family. Anyway, that guy is indecisive, so I'd rather give him advice."

Hyakusuke and Hiiragi Hiruko exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing this, both realizing that Jujouji Maika's personality was extremely difficult to handle.

Just then, a series of chaotic footsteps came from the deck.
