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

Chapter 221 Falling in Love
Ayaka calmly considered the matter. The idea of ​​becoming a concubine's wife along with her stepsister might have initially seemed like an absurd thought. However, the more she thought about it, the more she realized it was a good idea.

"Both Yeming and I have fallen in love with Baijie, but whether Yeming ends up with him or Baijie chooses me in the end, someone will get hurt."

No, Ayaka also couldn't accept the idea of ​​separating from Yoru.

In the past, she had been afraid that she would be abandoned after Ye Ming got married.

Ayaka longs to stay with her stepsister forever. She also worries about what will happen to Yoru, who is clumsy and doesn't know how to take care of her, if he leaves her.
My stepsister is completely unable to take care of herself. Wouldn't she be a useless person if she were separated from me?
"If we get married and live together, there really won't be any problems."

She said it with absolute certainty.

Hyakusuke couldn't say a word.

"So."

Ayaka did not let him off the hook.

"What do you think, Baijie? If my sister and I were to marry you together, would you find it hard to accept?"

Hyakusuke's eyes darted away.

"I feel that this kind of topic is a bit too far removed from the present?"

"Marrying two wives isn't such a long time coming."

Ayaka ignored him and said slowly, "Among the prestigious families of exorcists, there are often rumors that a certain patriarch has built his own harem... I've also heard of people who have married multiple women."

"I know that too, that kind—"

Bai Jie's voice sounded somewhat bitter.

Exorcist families have always valued bloodlines, and a prosperous lineage is a good thing, as it can greatly strengthen the clan's power. If they have the means, it is common for them to have multiple wives and concubines.

"However, if the principal wife and concubines are not on good terms, and conflicts arise between them vying for favor, as well as the issue of family lineage after they have children, these conflicts can become a problem that affects the entire clan."

The petite girl touched her chest and smiled slightly.

"Fortunately, this won't happen between my sister and me. She will definitely accept me. As for the child, if I give birth to a boy, I will send him to my brother. He will definitely want a boy to adopt."

Ayaka's mind raced.

She no longer harbored any resentment towards her elder brother, Kukutsu Ichiki.

Hisoka Nagakutsu Ichiki has two daughters, Ume and Tsubaki.

However, the Kukuzu clan has always been a clan where men are the heads of the household.

The eldest brother, Ichigo, certainly hopes to have a son to revive the family, but his sister-in-law's health is poor, and she may have difficulty giving birth. In the future, they will have to find a son-in-law from outside the family to solve the problem of the Kujitsu family's lineage succession.

In the future, I just want to live with Hyakusuke and Yoru.

If I give birth to a girl, I will raise her slowly; if I give birth to a boy, I will give him to my older brother, who will take good care of him.

Ayaka described her thoughts, then pressed her with an interrogative tone: "So, what's your final thought?"

"I don't think it's a good idea."

Bai Jie's stomach began to cramp.

I broke out in a cold sweat; it was stomach pain caused by stress.

His heart was also struggling as if it were sinking into a quagmire.

"Do you dislike me, or Yoru, or perhaps that priestess?"

Ayaka tilted her head, her eyes filled with questions.

"That's not the case."

Bai Jie had gained some understanding.

"I'm just attached to my current stable life and can't break the status quo. I'm sorry."

After thinking it over, he also discovered his own deep-seated thoughts.

“In the past, that stable state was like a peaceful cocoon to me. I pretended to be slow to act in order to prevent that state from collapsing.”

After analyzing his own feelings, Bai Jie muttered with some emotion.

"But now I know I can't keep up the act any longer..."

He lowered his head and said "I'm sorry" to Ayaka.

Seeing him like this, Ayaka could only sigh.

“You don’t need to be in such a hurry. Ayaka, I didn’t mean to push you too hard... This matter can’t be discussed without considering your opinion. In fact, your opinion is more important, Hyakusuke.”

"Thank you."

His eyes were fixed on Ayaka.

“I don’t dislike Ayaka, and neither does Yoru…”

After learning his identity and gaining those memories, Hyakusuke also felt uncertain about his future.

Seven years later, in the "Vortex of the Underworld," the Eight Blessings Society, Ziyue Shi, and various mysteries surrounding herself.

Nothing is resolved.

I don't know when we'll be able to get out of these crises.

Nevertheless, he had no intention of giving up.

'Perhaps one day I will die... or I will be defeated for some other reason. Under such circumstances, I might only be able to survive by leaving no regrets.'

Having lived in ignorance for many years, he was once again lost and confused about how the future would unfold.

'I can no longer live like a drifting duckweed, simply accepting whatever fate has in store for me.'

In the end, Hyakusuke couldn't find a reason to refuse the girl.

"I don't know what the future holds... But I will try to accept you, and Yeming's matter... Although I'm not very confident, I will do my best to protect you. This is probably the only thing I can do."

In that instant, joy and panic caused Ayaka's blood to rush to her head, and her face turned bright red again.

"Ayaka, can I... really do it?"

"No, I should say it's my honor to be liked by Ayaka."

Bai Jie smiled faintly.

When Ayaka heard his words, she felt as if her mind was boiling.

My thoughts and mind were in complete chaos. In that instant, a certain warmth surged within me, which was a feeling of intense happiness. It seemed to be the happiest moment of my life.

Ayaka rushed towards him and hugged him tightly.

"Ayaka is so happy! Can I really like Hyakusuke? Will you stay with me and my sister?"

"Well, yes."

Bai Jie was still somewhat uneasy.

"However, Ye Ming's matter requires her consent, and I still don't want to go against her wishes."

"Thank you."

Ayaka answered calmly.

"Leave the task of persuading my sister to me."

Excited by her inner elation, she smiled and said, "Of course, I can agree to let Miss Hiruko join, but that can wait until later."

"Huh? Is that so?"

Hyakusuke had never actually considered this matter.

"That person must also be deeply in love with you, Bai Jie, right?"

Ayaka cast a tender glance at her.

"Ayaka felt that it would be too cruel to reject her."

"is it?"

Hyakusuke also looked troubled.

In fact, besides Hiiragi Hiruko, his relationship with Kohagi and Kuzuka seems to be quite complicated. Kohagi is not only his "childhood friend", but the two of them must have developed a very deep affection in the past.

At the same time, he vaguely sensed that Ge Hua might also care about him... He was somewhat annoyed by this situation, as this complicated entanglement with a woman was by no means his intention.

"It's ok."

Ayaka felt love surging in her chest, and she hugged him tightly.

She couldn't bear to let go. She had fallen deeply in love.

“Ayaka will always stand by your side. Ayaka will be your good helper and will always stand with you through thick and thin. Hmm, even if you find a few more women, Ayaka won’t be angry… but the premise is that you can’t lie to me and you have to tell me the truth.”

"because I like you."

Hyakusuke also sensed the girl's intense emotions.

He felt itchy all over, his cheeks uncontrollably relaxed, and he instinctively hugged the girl in front of him tightly, refusing to let go. For a moment, he felt like he couldn't breathe.

He then realized that this was the feeling called "liking".

Who wouldn't fall for a girl like that?

"of course."

He laughed, forgetting his confusion, and hugged Ayaka tightly with both hands.

"me too."

Like an illusion, Ayaka's tense body suddenly relaxed, filled with a warm and cozy feeling.

The two embraced each other tenderly for a moment, and then Hyakusuke finally remembered his business.

"By the way... where is this place?"

He felt he had been unconscious for some time, but he was unaware of what was happening outside.

Ayaka nodded at his question, then turned the question back to him.

"This is another port in Dewa Province. We came by ship. Do you remember what happened before?"

Bai Jie shook his head and explained what he still remembered.

His memories were mostly from his battle with the monster Mephistopheles, during which he was attacked and completely lost his memory.

After listening, Ayaka fell into thought. Then she let out a sigh of relief: "Then let's go with your version of events... In fact, many things happened after you fell into a coma."

She casually recounted some of the things Ye Ming had told her.

"According to my sister, another 'you' appeared. That guy is not the current 'you'. He should be another person. He had a big battle with another powerful guy, and as a result, he sank the entire Black Shark Island."

what?
Bai Jie was completely confused.

"The details are very complicated."

Ayaka shook her head.

"The situation was chaotic at the time. Everyone on the island only had time to evacuate. Because the situation was too chaotic, everyone was too busy to take care of themselves and could only hurriedly board the ship to escape."

She recalled that scene with lingering fear.

The group quickly evacuated the island by boat, and two extremely powerful spiritual energies erupted, creating a cataclysmic phenomenon.

The entire Black Shark Island seemed to have become the site of some kind of world-destroying power contest, and that area seemed to be shrouded in thick black clouds.

Outsiders have no way of knowing what is happening inside that area; they can only observe from a distance that a crimson dragon is soaring through the air, and that a beam of light is shooting into the sky, reminiscent of a sun-like roulette wheel.

Ayaka is just a half-baked exorcist, and she only recently awakened her powers. However, she is also terrified by the overwhelming spiritual energy fluctuations.

Any exorcist capable of sensing spiritual energy fluctuations should be able to perceive the cataclysmic power of that day.

Ultimately, under the impact of various forces, the island shattered.

"Wait a moment"

Instantly, his eyes changed drastically after hearing Ayaka's description.

"That...was it really me?"

"That's what my sister said... However, this news hasn't been spread, and not many people know about it."

Ayaka also sighed.

Under her persistent questioning, Yue Jialuo Yeming revealed some information.

Of course, Ye Ming didn't actually know that much, let alone what she could say.

"You and your sister have been hiding many things from me, haven't you?"

To be honest, Ayaka felt somewhat kept in the dark about what had happened before, and she puffed out her cheeks, looking quite dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry, there are many reasons."

Bai Jie gave a bitter smile.

“My past identity should be that of a member of the Ziyue clan. The person who made a big move on the island was indeed ‘me’.”

He understood at that moment.

That must have been his past self, who took control of his body at a crucial moment and must have defeated the "monster," namely Mephisto.

After all, the monster was just a substandard product and not as powerful as the original Fallen Angel.

"I'm not that weak, I just didn't get full control of my flesh, that's why I was defeated by you."

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

Bai Jie looked at his right hand in surprise; on his index finger, there was a red ring shaped like a rose.

"You...you wouldn't happen to be Mephistopheles, would you?"

He remembered clearly that it must have been the voice of a monster.

"Exactly."

The great demon had transformed into a ring and appeared on his finger.

Hyakusuke's eyes were filled with confusion; he couldn't quite figure out what his other "self" had done.

"Also, strictly speaking, I wasn't completely defeated by you,"

Mephisto, inside the ring, said weakly, "On the other hand, it should be said that even if you and I joined forces, we would still be completely defeated by someone else. As for who that person is, you should have a pretty good idea, right?"

"...It must be Ziyue Shi."

Hyakusuke didn't think much of it and gave the name.

After a moment's thought, he roughly guessed what had happened. Another version of himself appeared, and the culprit who had altered and controlled his memories was quickly changed. He must have done this to stop the other "self".

The other "self" born from past memories is very strong, but he is no match for Ziyue Shi. He probably chose to cooperate with Mephisto. Although it is unclear how he persuaded this great demon, he still lost to Mephisto in their joint battle.

"Fortunately, at the critical moment, just when we were about to be defeated after joining forces, something seemed to have happened to Zi Yue Shi. He had to leave in a hurry and couldn't take care of us."

Mephistopheles sneered, "Of course, both you and I were badly beaten by him. After I lent you my power, I fell to the bottom and can only temporarily take this form to eke out a living."

The demon spoke briefly, but Bai Jie could imagine that it was an extremely fierce battle, and that his body, will, brain, nerves, and even soul were still under tremendous strain.

"To put it bluntly... you're just letting us off the hook?"

"So that's how it is. Then how did I get back?"

Bai Jie asked curiously.

"You were transported directly to the ship by the Shadow..."

Ayaka explained in a low voice.

Hearing this, he felt relieved; it must have been Xiaoqi who did it.

"correct……"

Hyakusuke then asked Ayaka, "Yoru, where are the others? Why are you all alone here?"

"About this?"

Ayaka hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she decided to tell the truth.

“Sister, you’ve been kidnapped… As for the others, they’ve been scattered for the time being because of other things. Since you’re badly injured and haven’t woken up yet, I’ll stay here to take care of you.”

"what?"

Bai Jie quickly grabbed her sleeve.

"Who kidnapped Ye Ming?"

"This is it~~"

Ayaka bit her lip.

"...It is the Sword Saint."
