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

Chapter 37 Lake Goddess: Snow Yashahime
Ayaka Kukutsu.

The adopted sister of the male protagonist in the game "Miracle of the Dark Moon".

She is the leader of the Yuejialuo tribe and the adopted child of Yeming's father.

The Kukutsu clan, to which Ayaka belongs, is a well-known local family of exorcists, but it is far inferior to Kurohimeyama, Tsukigara, and the famous Suzuki family of southern Mutsu that was almost wiped out.

The ancestor of the Kukutsu clan had a feud with an evil ghost, which led to the extermination of the clan, leaving only two orphans, one of whom was Ayaka's brother Ikki, and the other was Ayaka herself.

The brother and sister were both adopted by the Yuejialuo clan and were treated almost as the clan leader's biological children.

However, in the game, Ayaka is an unplayable character.

However, in the storyline of a certain heroine, Ayaka's performance in the plot was well received by players, overshadowing the heroine of this line. In addition, she was often relied upon by the male protagonist in the game, and was jokingly called "just like a mother" and "everyone's mother", thus becoming a popular character.

'Hehe~~ I like sweet, small, soft loli moms, hehe...'

"Commander-in-Chief, when did you arrive?"

"Please explain why Kukutsu Ayaka is a god..."

This is the kind of crazy comment you often see on online forums and in game review areas.

It is normal that Ayaka is popular. After all, she is a rare character in this game who is neither yandere nor feminine. She will not pull out a knife and stab you to death for no reason. She always stands firmly by the male protagonist and remains his sister.

Well, as long as she is compared with other heroines, she will naturally be liked by players.

"At first, I didn't like the kind of female character who constantly nags at the protagonist and lectures him, acting like a PUA. Later, I realized that Ayaka only talks too much when the male protagonist does something wrong and doesn't live up to his expectations. She defends him in front of outsiders."

"The protagonist is just a useless loser in the early stages~~ Think about what he did in the early stages. He didn't want to fight monsters, hated fighting, and avoided reality... As the protagonist in the early stages, it was impossible to empathize with him."

"Don't forget, his sister takes care of his daily eating, drinking, and toileting... The hero is basically hands-off when it comes to things like washing clothes and cooking."

"Thinking about it the other way around, not being the heroine isn't a bad thing. After all, in a fully collapsed arc, you don't have to participate in a heroine battle royale and get slaughtered to death."

"What the hell is going on? Why can't I capture my sister? This is Ayaka, the sister god who has the triple attributes of a loli, a sister, and a mother. Why not open a step-sister line?"

"Please release a sequel with a sister line, asshole..."

Overall, Baijie thinks that his younger sister Ayaka is a person who does not need too much attention.

Ayaka is not actually an important character in the game.

She is an ordinary person with no psychic powers and no fighting ability, and she doesn't play a big role in the later plot lines.

Moreover, Ayaka is different from some yanderes with bad personalities. She is gentle and kind, so it shouldn't have any impact on her.

However, Baijie now found that he had thought too simply.

This adopted sister might become a high wall in front of me.

……

The journey to Xueyaksha Lake is a long way around.

It will take about three days. Baijie's idea is to make the best use of these three days to find an opportunity to contact Yue Jialuo Yeming privately and have a good talk with him.

Although it is not clear what made Ye Ming angry before, I still find an opportunity to apologize.

Baijie knew that with the character of the protagonist "Yasasi", as long as he didn't seek revenge for his father's murder or the extermination of his clan, he would probably be forgiven if he tried hard to beg her.

However, he soon discovered that he had no way to contact Yue Jialuo Yeming privately.

……

The oxcart convoy stopped at the roadside, which was a crossroads near a village. Maple trees, wild lacquer trees, chestnut oak trees and beech trees grew on the roadside. Under the largest tree, several tea houses and small stalls could be seen.

The teahouse specializes in doing business with merchants and townspeople who come and go along the way, as well as messengers; the small vendors are farmers in the village, and the stalls they set up sell goods such as tea brushes, bamboo hats, straw mats, and straw sandals.

Poor tenants could hardly support their families by farming alone, so they would most likely do some manual work and try to sell it nearby to earn some money to supplement their family income.

The Genin also stopped to sit outside the tea stall to rest, drink their tea and take a breath.

"Miss Ming, I have something to ask..."

He was about to call out to the girl in crimson kimono when she got off the ox cart.

"sister."

Ayaka rushed over from behind and hugged her sleeve.

"I just saw a peddler selling gouache. Could you go with me?"

"Ok."

The two sisters walked straight in the other direction.

"this?"

Baijie's intention to start a conversation was interrupted, so he could only stop and watch the two people leave.

……

"Miss Ming, I'm sorry to bother you. Could you spare some time to chat..."

"Sister Ming, Song Ping said he wants to see you for something, come with me quickly."

Another step ahead.

"I have something I want to tell you..."

"Excuse me, Onee-sama, I think I twisted my ankle. Could you please come over and help me?"

He was interrupted before he could finish his words.

"Um... Mr. Baijie, do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Yes, may I have a moment to chat?"

"Sister, what are you talking about~~"

The innocent stepsister butted in. "No, nothing important."

Baijie was defeated again.

……

"What on earth is going on...?"

Baijie didn't understand the reason, but it was obvious that his sister Ayaka was hindering him and preventing him from contacting Yeming.

Whenever he talked to Ye Ming, she would find an opportunity to interrupt him, like an ice wall standing between him and the protagonist.

...Unknowingly, a tragically thick barrier had been erected between him and the protagonist, Ye Ming.

"But why?"

While his face was full of questions, the group finally arrived at the location of Snow Yasha Lake.

One day, the ox cart drove out of the woods and headed along the stream. Following the instructions of the mountain people we met on the way, we once again passed through a straight and deep bamboo forest and crossed thorny weeds.

As the sky gradually darkened and the bright moon rose, the view suddenly opened up and a vast lake appeared in front of us.

At this moment, the moon was facing where everyone was, and a straight path of light extended to the lake, with the waves stirred up by the breeze sparkling brightly.

"It's a great place... but it's a little out of the way."

Ye Ming got off the ox cart. She coughed a few times as if she was blown by a breeze.

"Speaking of which, there's hardly any demonic energy along the way, and even fewer miscellaneous demons... Aside from being a bit remote, there's almost nothing wrong with this place."

In the past few days, she seemed to have caught a cold, her temperature was a little high, and she seemed to have a cold.

When Bai Jie first heard the news, he was also very surprised. He found it hard to imagine that Ye Ming, a descendant of a famous family of demon exorcists and the destined protagonist with three powerful bloodlines, would catch a cold for no reason.

"It's said that this is the work of the local lake master, Yuki Yashahime. This lake deity possesses a powerful divine nature. Although she is very willful and has a bad temper, her power is also extraordinary. The area centered on this lake is shrouded in her divine power, and almost no monsters dare to act rashly."

Old man Matsudaira explained.

"Let's stay here for the night. Everyone, please don't move at night... The lake owner, Snow Yashahime, hates people approaching the lake at night."

"According to local legend, at the last moment of midnight, mist would rise from the lake surface, and the lake owner and her family would occasionally play by the lake at night and admire the moon."

"During this period, anyone who dares to enter the lake at this time and disturb her will be punished by Princess Yuki Yasha."

"is it?"

Ye Ming was a little surprised.

Well, no wonder he is described as a willful and bad-tempered god.

"So it's a punishment, but it's just a prank..."

Matsudaira Inomaro explained that the lake owner, Yuki Yashahime, would do some pranks when she was angry, but she would not hurt anyone's life. However, the local people respected the lake owner very much and would never disturb her.

Furthermore, even if it was a prank played by the gods on a whim, ordinary people would have to avoid it.

The blessings and punishments brought by the "gods and Buddhas" in this world are real. There are not many stubborn people who would be stupid enough to provoke a lake god who can show his power in a meaningless way.

"We'll set up camp here today."

Baijie ordered the Genin to prepare to set up camp. He also added: "Don't go out casually tonight, and don't go near this lake."

Of course, he just said this, he himself did not intend to abide by this rule.

After all, Baijie planned to take advantage of tonight's opportunity to go to the center of Xueyaksha Lake and return the comb to the owner of the lake.

……

Late at night, everyone in the camp fell into a deep sleep.

Suddenly, a layer of fog emerged from the surface of Xueyaksha Lake.

Thick fog appeared almost instantly, covering the lake and spreading around it.

——The fog came very quickly and was extremely strange.

"It finally begins."

Bai Jie was already prepared. He put on his equipment, took out the invisibility amulet, left the camp quietly, took a short detour, and headed towards the lake.

"Master Baijie, where is he going at this late hour?"

Yue Jialuo Yeming crawled up. She coughed a few times and her face was as pale as a death, but as hot as fire.

Because she was not feeling well, she couldn't sleep. At this time, her overly sharp five senses heard the noise outside, so she lifted a corner of the curtain of the ox cart and noticed Bai Jie's figure leaving.

Although the man used the invisibility amulet, Yue Jialuo Ye Ming was born with special eyes.

Her eyesight is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and since she was a child, her eyes can easily see through illusions and sorcery - the effectiveness of the high-level invisibility talisman in Baijie's hand is useless to her.

"Ahem... didn't we tell you before that we can't go near the lake after dark? Baijie... what is he doing?"

Yue Jialuo Yeming stood up, but as she stood up, the scene in front of her eyes suddenly turned white.

“…My body feels so heavy.”

Even though he was extremely dizzy, Ye Ming still stood up by supporting himself on his knees.

I'm really sick.

She had never had a cold or fever before, but this time, for some unknown reason, she caught a cold and became very weak.

"Go and have a look."

Yue Jialuo Yeming was puzzled by Baijie's behavior, and worried thoughts emerged in her heart. She walked out of the ox cart, shook her head to get rid of the dizziness, and walked out of the ox cart.
