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

Chapter 8 "Her" in the Mirror

"A letter from home?"

With mixed feelings, he opened it and read it.

The person who wrote the letter should be his third brother. He was illiterate, but he still asked someone to write the letter to him.

In the letter, he said that the family situation has been much better over the years, and his second oldest brother has already gotten married.

He worked as a clerk for a local oil merchant. His family saved some money for him and he married a wife. He currently works in a store in the city and sends some money during the holidays.
After the third brother became an adult, he was able to relieve the pressure on his parents. As for the remaining brothers and sisters, one was still young, and the other had been sent to a wealthy family to work as a maid, with food and accommodation provided, as well as wages.

Thanks to this, the pressure on our family has been greatly reduced. Previously, our family had lived on a diet of wheat, corn, and vegetable leaves. When the harvest was poor, we had to survive on mixed vegetables and wild grass dumplings. The children often went hungry, struggling for three meals a day. However, in recent years, we've been able to occasionally eat rice, and even enjoy a slightly more plentiful meal during the Lunar New Year, which is a huge improvement.

The third brother also planned to wait until the youngest brother came of age and then work as a clerk for a horse merchant. By living frugally, he should be able to save some money and find a way to get some land so that he wouldn't have to go hungry because his harvest had to be used to pay the annual tribute and rent.

"I feel bad saying this, brother, but thanks to the money I received from the Exorcist family, I really wouldn't have survived that winter..."

The third brother also tactfully expressed in the letter that he hoped to come back to see his parents if he had the chance, and they also hoped to see him.

"is it?"

Baijie's face showed a distressed expression. He frowned slightly, put the letter away again and put it back into the envelope.

Over the past few years, he had received letters from home intermittently. He had never replied to a single one, but he still treasured them all, hiding them in a box.

"There's no point in meeting him. I don't have any memories of the past..."

He did not blame his family for selling him out. In this world, there was simply nothing they could do about it.

"All right."

You can't keep thinking about this kind of thing.

While there was still the moon overhead, Baijie decided to do some independent practice.

As a time traveler, I am not lucky enough to obtain cheating abilities such as systems, panels, and golden fingers.

He felt helpless about this, thinking that after all, he was a member of the army of time travelers, but he didn't have any "special benefits" for time travelers.

He was a Genin, and although he possessed a little bit of spiritual power, it was nothing compared to those serious exorcists.

In addition to his low spiritual power, he has not awakened any special abilities. Although he can barely use spiritual power to enhance his physical fitness, he can only run faster and jump higher than ordinary people.

If he were to deal with ordinary people, he might have a great advantage, but as a Genin of the Kurohimeyama clan, the enemies he encountered were all kinds of monsters and demons, so this ability seemed very low.

No, it's not just low, it's simply at the level of trash.

In the main storyline of "Bright Moon in the Darkness", if there is any mistake, the Kurohime clan may even collapse and be wiped out.

In the later period, demons attacked the capital, causing riots between humans and demons, resulting in a scene of rivers of blood.

Without strength, he would die like a weed.

There is also his family in this body. He has no feelings for them, but as long as things get worse, those people will die.

“…I’m so weak.”

Yes, Baijie knew very well how weak he was. He did not have a strong body nor a lot of spiritual power.

No extraordinary talents either.

Incompetent and weak.

You can't just shout "Deep Blue, show me your potential" and increase your strength by stacking numbers.

"So, if you want to survive... you can only hone yourself desperately."

Bai Jie picked up a long spear from the weapon rack and, under the moonlight, silently practiced thrusting with the spear.

Although it may sound a bit boastful, Baijie is better at using guns than ninja swords or other weapons.

He did not stand in an open field and stab with his spear, but came to a pool.

This is the corner of the training ground, and it is also the place where we get water on weekdays.

The pool is not big, and a moon is reflected on the water surface.

There wasn't a breath of wind, and the water seemed to glow.

He practiced shooting silently facing the moonlight, which was his unique way of practicing.

As he continued to swing his gun, Bai Jie, who was sweating profusely, forgot everything. The only things in his eyes were the gun and the moon reflected in the water.

His mind was as calm as water, the wind had disappeared and the thunder had subsided, his mind was completely focused on the tip of the gun.

A gust of night wind blew by.

The cold wind blew gently past his neck, but did not attract his attention. The breath exhaled from his mouth turned into a white mist.

His eyes were fixed on the spot where the tip of the gun was.

Swish!
Bai Jie swung his spear and thrust forward.

In an instant, his movements were as fast as lightning, and the tip of the gun left a swaying afterimage in the void.

At this moment, a leaf fell.

call out.

The fallen leaf was blown into the air by the wind, and was just touched by the tip of the spear and was split into two.

Finally, it landed on the water.

"good."

A man's voice sounded nearby.

"..."

Bai Jie was stunned for a moment and turned around. Only then did he notice a rough-looking man appear by the pool.

"It's you, boss."

The visitor was a Chunin among the ninjas, named "Saizo", and also Baijie's formal boss.

He is a sloppy uncle with a somewhat unkempt appearance, and is also one of the few Chunin who is very caring towards his Genin.

The status of a Chunin is not as lowly as a Genin. Some of them have the bloodline of an Exorcist or are retainers of the main family. Their responsibility is to monitor and manage the Genin. Remember, Genin have always been the most numerous, most costly, and poorly paid lower-level unit, in order to prevent rebellion or escape.

The clan will send out Chunin, composed of retainers, to supervise the clan. If necessary, they will punish or even execute Genin who make mistakes.

However, Saizo was a kind-hearted man who treated lowly Genin equally. It was thanks to him that Hyakusuke was able to live to this day.

"I went out hunting and happened to catch two raccoons, a male and a female."

Cai Zang smiled complacently and patted his waist, where two dead raccoon cats were hanging.

"As for you, the raccoon hotpot should be edible~"

He reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Alright, alright, you've been training for a long time, and your injury hasn't healed yet, right? Stop wasting your energy. Come and help me skin these two raccoons. Tomorrow, we can all have something good to eat and replenish our bodies. I'll give you some extra meat then."

"Ok."

Baijie was covered in sweat from fatigue, and his shoulders rose and fell with his breathing.

However, he still smiled and nodded, put down the gun in his hand, and walked towards Saizo.

……

"I'm so free today~~"

The original male protagonist, who is also the future savior appointed by God, was stretching lazily in his room with a bored look on his face.

Tsukigara Yamei, the eldest son of the Tsukigara clan, was originally the future head of a prestigious family of exorcists that ruled the Hokuriku region.

However, just a few years ago, the Yuejialuo clan was attacked by a powerful demon king and suffered unprecedented heavy losses. Many family members, including the clan leader, were killed, and only two or three cats and kittens survived.

The territory of the Yuejia Luo clan was completely lost and became a place where evil spirits lurked. These were powerful demons that had crossed from the undeveloped Ezo land (Hokkaido) to the south. It was said that they were originally gods worshipped by the Ezo people.

Due to unknown reasons, he fell and turned into a powerful demon. He led a large number of half-human, half-owl monsters to attack the territory of the Yuejialuo clan.

This incident also shocked the government and the public on the island nation. The fact that a demon king-level demon occupied human territory directly caused a stress response from the court. They immediately thought of the demon riot that happened 150 years ago.

The existence of the five demon kings launched a large army to attack cities and seize land, causing serious damage to various parts of the island country.

Fortunately, the owl-shaped demon that attacked the Yuejialuo clan's territory did not take any further action. It only maintained its sphere of influence around the main city where the Yuejialuo clan was located and had no intention of encroaching on the surrounding territories.

This also made the nobles in Kyoto breathe a sigh of relief, and they held back on mobilizing the imperial army to attack Beiao, or rather, they were reluctant to launch an attack on the demon king who occupied the territory of the Yuejialuo clan.

The Yamato court has suffered frequent disasters in recent years, including earthquakes, droughts and floods, as well as small-scale rebellions caused by endless demons. The finances are very tight, and mobilizing the masses and conducting long-distance raids will be a huge expense for the court.

At this time, the Kurohimeyama family, also a famous family in the northern Nan'ao, was very active at this juncture. The head of the family personally went to welcome the eldest son and his group who had escaped from the territory and were displaced.

On the one hand, she explained the situation, and on the other hand, she made a solemn promise: the Kurohimeyama clan is willing to help the Tsukigara clan retake Bei'ao, on the condition that Tsukigara Yeming becomes the son-in-law of the Kurohimeyama family. However, after regaining the territory in the future, Kurohimeyama's influence will also extend into the Bei'ao region - this is also the prologue plot of "The Bright Moon in the Dark".

"But, on the other hand, it's really nice to have this rare moment of leisure, without having to practice swordplay or spiritual arts... just to drink tea peacefully like this."

Ye Ming, the eldest son of Yue Jialuo's family, is a typical Asian male protagonist in Japanese comics. He is a kind-hearted man who can show gentleness, consideration and good temper to everyone.

My personal hobbies are basking in the sun on the outer corridor and playing chess with my stepsister. My favorite things to do are pruning potted plants and enjoying delicious kelp tea indoors.

"The sun is shining brightly today~"

"He" lifted the quilt and prepared to go out to bask in the sun and breathe some fresh air.

In the past few days, he had been forcibly locked in an airtight room by the sorcerers of the healing institute, and was being tested using various means.

Even the oldest director of the healing institute, the most experienced healer of the Kurohimeyama clan, the old woman named "Zhuhua", could not understand what happened to "him".

"I don't understand either. This isn't a curse, nor is it some kind of spell... What on earth is going on?"

The old woman sighed. "But generally speaking, my son-in-law, after a thorough examination of your body, I can confirm that you are now in good health. It seems that although you have become a woman, there are no other signs of the curse."

——'But, is this a good thing or a bad thing?'

The old man finally sighed deeply, his eyes revealing his worry about "him".

However, “he” at that time did not notice this at all——

"Strange, why do my old clothes look weird when I wear them?"

He took out a few clothes from the lacquer chest decorated with Maki-e and put them on, only to be surprised to find that none of the clothes fit him.

"Hmm... is it because of my bigger breasts?"

I always feel that when I put on my old clothes, my chest will inexplicably open up and become very exposed.

"Have I really become a woman?"

"He" didn't have any sense of reality about all this until he came to his sister-in-law's dressing table and saw his changed appearance in the mirror.

"—Is this really me?"

In the mirror stood a beautiful girl.

She has delicate facial features and rosy lips.

Also, she was completely in tune with her movements.

"He" shook his head.

The girl in the mirror made the same move.

In an instant, the hair draped over her shoulders fell off.

Yes, she has long hair like black satin, slightly drooping eyes with a soft feeling, and a black teardrop mole under her eyes.

"Really, is it me?"

"He" touched the mole at the corner of his eye - at the same time, the girl in the mirror did the same thing.

In Yue Jialuo Yeming's heart, a strong sense of absurdity and dislocation emerged. For the first time, "he" had a strange feeling that he had turned into something else.

"Have I become a woman?"

"He", no, now I should call him her, a doubtful tone came out of his lips.
