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

Chapter 220 Marry us sisters!

Hyakusuke became a ghost, wandering through his past memories.

Like a fleeting glimpse, memories leaped back and forth, filled with anger, sorrow, and shock.

Upon learning the reason for the destruction of their clan, an overwhelming emotion surged forth, transforming into a torrent of thoughts.

Memories keep recurring, reappearing, and being processed again... Each time, the outline of one's own existence gradually fades.

Gradually, he felt himself become nothingness, then flattened, and then three-dimensional.

The definition of "I" no longer exists; it becomes dust and then disappears.

……

How long exactly? Hyakusuke's spirit seemed to be slowly swimming across a sea of ​​nothingness; it was a very long time.

Finally, he regained consciousness.

With a hazy mind, he realized that he had returned to reality.

His mouth was parched, and the little saliva he had was incredibly sticky.

My whole body felt unusually heavy, my bones and muscles ached, and my flesh felt like a sponge soaked in bile.

He tried to open his eyes, but his eyelids felt heavy and droopy.

However, Hyakusuke could still sense that he was lying on his back.

'Strange, am I injured? Doesn't mermaid flesh have a self-healing function?'

No...that's not the case.

Hyakusuke began to "self-examine" his body and soul, using several very basic spells to investigate the condition of his body.

As a result, he realized that it wasn't that the "mermaid's grace" had no effect, but rather that his entire body, including his flesh, brain, nerves, and soul, was in a state of being overloaded and beyond limits.

That's outrageous!?
Hyakusuke was also startled by his own terrible physical condition.

Fortunately, his body had been somewhat modified by the energy of the spirits and the flesh of the mermaid, so it didn't simply collapse.

With such a significant drain on my energy, it will be difficult to recover in a short time. However, I do know of some medicinal items that can be effective against this kind of injury. If I can find an opportunity to acquire them, there shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Bai Jie remembered that when he was still the young master of the Ziyue clan, he had prepared some props, weapons and spiritual medicines. He should be hiding them somewhere, and they might come in handy.

"...Why is it always like this?"

He heard someone talking to themselves.

That was a familiar voice; it must be Ayaka, Yoru's adopted sister, whispering to herself.

"Every time I end up covered in bruises..."

The girl's gentle voice was like a feather tickling her ear.

then--

It felt like some water droplets were falling on my face.

Bai Jie heard the girl sobbing softly; she must have been crying, and tears were dripping onto her face.

"Really, could you please stop doing such dangerous things?"

She knelt beside her pillow, sobbing and murmuring softly.

"Ayaka really doesn't want to see you like this."

Even without opening her eyes, Hyakusuke could tell that her lovely face was already covered in tears.

"It's always the same."

The girl's voice was filled with sadness.

"Neither I nor my sister want you to become like this."

As she reached out to wipe his forehead with a cool towel, she muttered under her breath, sounding somewhat annoyed.

"Please, please wake up..."

Hyakusuke sighed inwardly. Making a girl cry was not a good thing. However, he was exhausted and didn't want to move at all. Besides, it was a very comfortable experience to have someone take care of him while he was resting.

However, I can't lie like this forever.

Hyakusuke muttered to himself, wondering what the situation was like outside. His memories were fragmented; although he still remembered the events on the island, his understanding of the outside world was limited.

'However, I'm still alive, and Ayaka is here too... The situation on the island should have been resolved.'

Bai Jie thought to himself that it must have been his past self who stepped in at the crucial moment.

The "self" of the past, that is, the time traveler Luo Cheng, and of course, the other party is also "himself".

He was well aware that there was not much difference between the "me" of the past and the "me" of the present.

I did not experience any spiritual transformation or change in mindset; it was just that my memories were blocked or altered.

Now it seems that the culprit behind all this was his own "brother," the guy named Zi Yueshi.

However, it was Ziyue Shi who sealed and altered her memories, while the one who caused the destruction of the Ziyue family should be "Wengmian".

Bai Jie also figured out one thing: Zi Yue Shi and Weng Mian must have some kind of connection, and the two must have colluded, or rather, established some kind of connection.

'I do know that the Ongami can parasitize the women of the Kurohime clan, but I completely forgot that Kohagi is also a woman of that clan.'

It's highly likely that Weng Mian also has his eye on Xiao Qiu, an excellent vessel.

Or perhaps its target is a clan's "ritual".

On the other hand, Hyakusuke speculated that the Shizuki clan must be in charge of some kind of secret ritual involving "Yellow Spring Evil Demons".

"Unfortunately, this part of the memory is missing... I just don't know if it was altered or sealed by that Ziyue."

In addition to the memories, the power I had previously possessed, namely the "Power of the Myriad Manifestations Reflecting the Heavenly Mirror," was also forcibly taken away.

That can be said to be the powerful superpower he possessed in the past, and it is one of the top-ranked superpowers in the game "Oborozuki no Akechi".

"The only remaining strength I have is the knowledge I learned in the past, the various techniques I learned since childhood, and some basic skills."

While inwardly smiling bitterly, Hyakusuke activated a healing technique to treat his body.

Oh well, there's nothing to fuss about. It's much better than being forced into being a genin.

Even if we lose the power we were once so proud of, there's nothing to worry about; it's just a matter of starting over.

After learning about the past and his own identity, he felt much more relaxed.

There are still many mysteries to be solved...

Furthermore, even though the fog surrounding him hadn't completely dissipated, his current state of mind was different from the bewildered state he had been in the past; he had become much more resolute.

On the other side, a warm breath gradually wafted over, and Hyakusuke, with his eyes closed, could hear Ayaka's voice.

The girl stopped sobbing. She lowered her head and murmured softly, "I...I don't want you to get hurt at all. If you could stay here like this, maybe..."

Ayaka didn't finish her sentence.

Holding a towel in one hand, her gaze was gradually drawn to Hyakusuke's sleeping face as he lay there.

are you asleep?

So, it's okay to do whatever you want?
The girl swallowed hard, her delicate throat slid, her heart pounding, and a very bold idea formed in her mind.

Ayaka reached out a hand and touched his cheek.

Hyakusuke was a little confused. He didn't know what Ayaka was going to do, but he felt a warm body temperature coming from the girl's palm.

"Just a little bit... it shouldn't be a problem?"

she said to herself.

However, Hyakusuke vaguely felt something being pressed against his lips.

He was startled and opened his eyes, only to find himself staring directly into Ayaka's eyes.

what?
Could it be that just now...?

Baijie came to his senses.

"You...you...are you awake?"

Ayaka was stunned. The next second, her cheeks turned cherry red, and her whole face turned red as if she had been burned.

"Um... Miss Ayaka, could it be that you were just now—"

"No, no, that's not it..." Her face was flushed red as she desperately tried to deny something, or rather, to refute it: "Don't misunderstand, nothing happened, I was just momentarily bewitched, nothing at all?"

"Yeah."

Bai Jie touched his lips.

His gaze toward Ayaka held a hint of surprise and confusion.

"I said... Miss Ayaka, um... you wouldn't happen to mean anything to me—"

"No, nothing."

Ayaka shook her head.

She would never admit it, no matter what.

"Ugh."

Bai Jie sighed softly.

"I misunderstood... I'm really sorry."

"Just know, that's enough."

Ayaka, her face flushed, then lowered her head and repeatedly pounded her fists on his chest, seemingly feeling shy.

This action also confirmed Hyakusuke's suspicions once again.

Now that things have come to this, he's not stupid or a block of wood; it's impossible for him to be completely unaware... He's already clearly concluded that Ayaka has indeed fallen for him.

'This...it really is...I haven't done anything wrong, so why do I always end up with these emotional entanglements?'

His voice slowed down: "Perhaps I really am mistaken, but Miss Ayaka, you should also know that I really don't have the energy to respond to other people's feelings right now, and this is the same for Yoruaki or anyone else."

The air seemed to freeze.

Both fell into silence.

"Well, I know."

Ayaka's eyes dimmed, and her slender neck drooped limply.

"This kind of answer is typical of you, haha, it's nothing..."

She gave a few weak, dry laughs.

What else could Ayaka say? She lowered her head, clenching her small hands on her thighs, seemingly hesitant yet unable to suppress her emotions.

So sad.

She wondered why she had been rejected.

Ayaka truly confirmed her feelings when she flew over the snow-capped mountains to find the spirit flower Igorzki.

—I do like Hyakusuke.

When she was lifted up in his arms, she was incredibly excited, and her only thought was to stay by his side forever.

"...That's unfair."

Suddenly, Ayaka's voice rang out again.

"Varied?"

Baijie was stunned for a moment.

"It's not fair at all."

Her attitude suddenly changed.

The girl's eyes sharpened.

"You've been putting on this show of rejection... but in reality, you're still flirting with your sister and Lady Hiruko. Why... why can't I?"

Ayaka's bright, malt-colored eyes stared at him, filled with intense emotions.

She kept suppressing her feelings, pretending all along that she didn't care about him.

However, Ayaka, who had been enduring for so long, felt her emotions were so full that they were about to overflow.

Those complex emotions, those burning feelings, like an erupting volcano, finally became uncontrollable in that instant—

"If you can accept my sister and Lord Hiruko, then why can't I? Is it because I, Ayaka, am a useless child?"

She said with a hint of self-pity, "I know~~ After all, I've always been like this since I was little. Everyone thinks I'm useless. Yes... I'm not as good as my sister, and I can't compare to the priestess. Is that why you hate me?"

Ayaka seemed to emanate some kind of black aura, about to burst forth.

"No, that's not the case."

Bai Jie couldn't laugh.

He had a bad feeling. Could it be that Ayaka, who wouldn't have turned into a yandere in the original work, would also turn into a yandere in front of him?

"Can't I be your wife?"

Ayaka puffed out her small chest.

“Ayaka is not as good as my sister, nor can she compare to that shrine maiden, but as your wife, I will definitely take good care of you… I, Ayaka, also want to be with you forever. Is it really impossible?”

“This?”

Bai Jie didn't know how to answer.

"What...what exactly is that?"

Ayaka's eyes were filled with increasingly intense resentment as she bit down on Hyakusuke's last words.

"That's not it... So what is it? What exactly are you wavering about?"

"I don't want to hurt anyone."

Bai Jie took a deep breath.

"But why postpone it until seven years later?"

Ayaka pressed on without hesitation.

"I just want to stall for a bit..."

Hyakusuke looked helpless.

"I'm sorry, Ye Ming's offensive is too strong. I can't find any other effective excuse. If we don't drag it out until seven years later, I will definitely agree to her request."

He couldn't think of a more useful reason to refuse Ye Ming.

She was so passionate, and Bai Jie couldn't handle that intense emotion. He was afraid that he would just fall for her.

"The situation is similar for Miss Hiruko... Besides, if I admit that I've fallen for someone, wouldn't that hurt the other person as well?"

He coughed lightly, trying to cover it up.

“Ayaka, that’s why I don’t want you to get hurt, so… I won’t accept anyone.”

Suddenly, Ayaka calmed down.

“I see... You don’t want anyone to get hurt, then it’s simple.”

She said in a very calm and indifferent tone, "Then marry your sister first, and then marry me. If we both marry you, there shouldn't be any problem."

what?
Bai Jie felt at a loss.

He wondered if he had heard wrongly.

Ayaka...do you really know what you're saying?

"Thinking about it carefully, there's nothing strange about it."

Ayaka wore a thoughtful expression.

"Ayaka, I like you, no, I've fallen in love with you... but I'm not particularly bothered by the fact that my sister likes you too—"

Hyakusuke couldn't quite understand what she was trying to say. It seemed that after Ayaka's emotions erupted, she jumped from one extreme to another, or perhaps there was something wrong with her brain, causing her to say things that were incomprehensible to others.

“Besides, this world doesn’t say that men can’t have a second wife or concubines,” Ayaka gave him a deep look.

"It seems that the only way is for both of us sisters to marry you, so that no one will get hurt, and everyone will be happy... By the way, if that priestess has no objections, then let's take her as our wife too."

Upon hearing her say that, Hyakusuke was speechless.
