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

Chapter 26 Miss Ming! ?

"Are you going to use me to do things for you?"

The voice that came out of the Yasha Shikigami's mouth was sharp.

"Isn't this what you were planning to do?"

Xiao Hagi asked back, "Otherwise, why would you destroy the orb that Takunoin got? You had plans for this in the first place."

Ge Hua snorted coldly.

"Also, why did you let one of the three enemies go? Don't say you accidentally let them get away. The woman was able to survive and escape. Were you letting them go?"

"She is a member of the Ziyue Party."

"what?"

There was a rare hint of surprise in Ge Hua's voice.

Xiao Hagi was too lazy to say anything more. She put the demon sword Yindie back into the sheath, turned around and left the battlefield.

……

"Is this...really for me?"

Baijie was called by the second lady to the Japanese-style room where she usually stayed, and was told that there was a "gift" for him.

Could this be a prank?

However, when he opened the box, he saw a protective gear similar to a gauntlet—except this gauntlet wasn't covered with armor. Part of the material was made of wild animal bones, no, possibly monster bones.

In addition, there is a black bead on the back of the palm of the cage hand, which looks like a pearl.

"This is a cursed tool."

Her sweet voice said casually, "This is a gift for your promotion. Your performance before was pretty good. As your master, if I don't clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments, I'm bound to be gossiped about."

"This cursed tool is made from a part of the orb you brought back... Those idiots at the Institute of Artisanship couldn't figure out how the orb worked, and they even damaged it. However, I can make it work again."

The second young lady was concentrating on applying nail polish. She used natural materials such as crushed and ground hibiscus and cardamom flowers, mixed with alum, and carefully embellished the nails of her ten slender fingers.

During the Edo period, safflower dyeing techniques introduced from China were used in Japan to color nails. The ancient poem "Ten slender fingers as red as jade shoots, lightly following the emerald strings of geese" refers to these vibrant red nails.

The girl's fingers were slender and delicate, like spring onions. With the nails painted vermilion, such a pair of hands would create a stunning effect the moment they were stretched out.

Naturally, a woman with such hands must be so charming that it makes people's heart beat fast.

"hehe."

She noticed the gaze on Baijie's mask and chuckled.

"What? Are you infatuated with me?"

Ge Hua made a joke.

"Kukuku~~Excessive beauty is truly a sin. Servant, I allow you to enjoy my beauty to your heart's content. You can hold your head high with confidence, for you are my retainer..."

"Please don't joke like that."

Bai Jie replied calmly, "Excuse me, what is the effect of this spell?"

"Have you heard of the Curse Return Barrier?"

Ge Hua's tone was somewhat displeased, as if blaming him for his lack of vision.

"The function of the orb is to amplify spiritual power. By absorbing your spiritual power and physical energy, it can generate a curse-returning barrier... However, don't be too happy too soon. The internal operation of this orb is very complicated.

In my opinion, with your meager spiritual power, you can only form a fist-sized barrier when wearing it on your hand."

She explained, "This gauntlet is designed for this purpose. You can wear it on your left hand and use the spell-returning barrier to block some simple attacking spells. Of course, don't rely too much on it, as it won't be able to block large-scale spells."

Kuzuka claimed that the Curse Return Barrier was a divine skill in every sense of the word. The orb on the cage could generate a miniature barrier, but even a miniature barrier, if used skillfully, could be of great use in battle.

"After all, you've become a Chunin. If your strength doesn't improve, I won't be able to save face."

"Thank you very much."

Baijie quickly bowed to her.

Well, this is indeed a very precious life-saving spell. I will sincerely thank you once for all.
"Saying thank you is too cheap, isn't it?"

The second Miss Duhua looked displeased.

"I went to great lengths to obtain this orb for you. Don't you want to show your gratitude to the master with some practical actions?"

Bai Jie didn't know what had angered her. He knew that instead of playing dumb, it would be better to admit defeat. "Please explain?"

"Come, help me paint my nails."

She then lifted her long, beautiful legs and stretched her feet towards him. From his perspective, her white knees were visible through the gap in her kimono, and the deeper part was vaguely visible, yet not visible.

Well...it's a bit of a Schrödinger's cat situation, so to speak.

Bai Jie quickly averted his gaze. His status was clear, so he couldn't have any unreasonable thoughts at a time like this... Besides, whether he saw it or not, it was torture for him.

"Don't just stand there~~Wood."

The second young lady spoke in a tone that sounded almost like a spoiled child, but her actions were full of provocative charm.

However, for Baijie, this was simply a declaration of torture.

"Or... you can't even do such a small thing?"

The tone was like "Do you have the confidence to put on a kimono for me~~?"

Haha, he would not get it wrong. This was just the woman's way of torturing herself.

However, Baijie had no possibility of escape.

He could only bite the bullet and follow the second young lady's instructions with an expressionless face.

……

Becoming a Chunin and getting new equipment sounds like a good thing.

However, there is an old saying that goes, "Good fortune and bad luck come from nowhere." If you really think that the road ahead will be smooth sailing, you will fall into a deep pit without knowing where.

"This will be your first mission as a Chunin."

Zuo Gu Longzheng found him directly and told him the new task he had to complete after his vacation.

"It's also because your right hand hasn't fully recovered yet, so I'm giving you the easier task. Baijie, this is your first mission as a Chunin, so make sure nothing goes wrong."

"do not worry."

Baijie bowed respectfully.

"I will do my best to not bring shame to our clan."

"Just have this thought, no need to say it out loud."

The handsome man, Zuo Gu Longzheng, smiled and gently waved the folding fan in his hand.

"This mission isn't difficult. It's about escorting someone out and bringing them back safely."

He added, "Because there are several female relatives among them, we need to pay more attention to this aspect."

"Excuse me, which distinguished person is this?"

Bai Jie asked hurriedly.

"You should know about the Yuejialuo clan, right?"

Sako Ryusei explained, "They are a prominent family from Hokuto Mutsu, currently sheltered by the Kurohime family. The young master, the eldest princess' fiancé, has been injured and is recuperating in Kyoto... However, he has several female relatives who wish to visit the graves of the deceased at Gango-ji Temple, so they require a group of guards."

"Female relatives?"

Baijie frowned slightly, with a bad feeling in his heart.

"The maiden name of that woman seems to be 'Miss Ming'."

Sako Longzheng said earnestly: "Because this is an escort mission, I will give you the corresponding manpower... Remember not to be disrespectful in front of the Yuejia Luo family."

"As ordered."

Bai Jie lowered his head and kept muttering in his heart, "Miss Ming?", "Who is Miss Ming?", "Is there such a person in the game?"

Suddenly, an idea came to my mind——

"No, no way? Could it really be him?"

At this moment, Baijie had the urge to hold his head in his hands and shrink himself in frustration.

Yue Jialuo's family had almost no direct blood relatives other than the eldest son, and there was no such character as "Miss Ming" in the original work. The only person he could think of now was the gender-swapped male protagonist, Yue Jialuo Yeming.
