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

Chapter 58 Hiroko Hiiragi

After entering Kasumi Castle, the Kurohime Yama family received a grand welcome. The second daughter, Kuzuka, along with the clan's prominent figures and exorcists, were all brought to the main castle for a banquet.

Hattoin, Kyuganin, Riyuin and the ninjas were arranged to rest in Hatago in the castle town.

Late at night, even the usually bustling castle town became quite quiet. "The party is almost over by now, right?!"

Bai Jie left the hotel and came to the stables, where he added some grass to the horses, shoveled out the manure, and checked the horses' physical condition.

This kind of work should have been left to Tomosaka and the Genin.

However, considering that the Genin had been traveling all day and working hard, he didn't have the heart to wake them up.

"However, Dewa Province is indeed a wealthy place..."

It should be that the Tenshin Sakura is rooted deep in the earth veins, absorbing the power of the Yellow Springs Demon's Lair, and spreading this purified power to the spiritual veins throughout Dewa, causing this frontier, which has been regarded as a "barren and infertile land" for generations, to slowly develop through land reclamation and cultivation. Through the folk customs observed along the way, it can be seen that the living conditions of the people in Dewa are much better than those of the people in Mutsu.

After all, the power of "spiritual veins" in this world greatly enhances the development of the agricultural system. Grain harvests are abundant year after year, and floods and droughts are rare. In this fertile territory, even tenant farmers have a comfortable life; it's truly a paradise.

Of course, there is also the diligence of the successive rulers of the Dewa region. Sufang, the lord of Kasumigashiro Castle, was a wise and virtuous ruler when he was young.

Under the old man's management, relying on the territory's mineral resources of "scarlet metal", the territory actively expanded its business with Kyoto, Nara and other regions. After long-term operation, the territory of Kasumi City became the most famous commercial city in the north.

Compared with the prosperity of Kasumi City, even the territory of the Kurohime Yama family, known as a major clan in Mutsu, can only be described as a remote and poor place.

"However, if the 'Divine Cherry Collapse' occurs, all of this will be destroyed."

Baijie looked up at the moon.

The moon is in its waning phase, a long and slender one.

The only way to solve this problem is to try to eliminate the "culprit" who caused all this.

However, I cannot do this with my current strength.

"I can only try to change the plot line little by little to see if I can correct the situation... The plot of this first chapter of the main storyline also has multiple development directions. I just need to avoid the worst-case scenario."

In the game, the worst situation is that the Tenshin Sakura is polluted and collapsed, causing the "eruption" of the demon nest in the Foundation Country, and all the mortals in the Kasumi City are polluted and turned into "demons".

Furthermore, the contamination of the sacred cherry tree spread along multiple spiritual veins throughout Dewa.

"Although the other endings are also tragic, overall they won't have a significant impact on the future..."

Halfway through his speech, an idea suddenly struck him.

"Wait, why don't I ask Yuki Yashahime for help? After all, she is a kind-attributed deity. If she knows about this, she should be able to get some help, right?"

Thinking of this, Baijie decided to enter the dream again and ask for help from the lake master, who was the benevolent god.

……

"No."

The lake owner interrupted him directly.

"Although your reasons are very valid, I have my own position. The Dewa Land is not under my jurisdiction, and I cannot directly intervene in the situation there."

"But, if something happens to that Tenjin cherry tree, many people will die?"

"That's really unfortunate, but there's nothing I can do."

"You are not such a heartless god. Could you please show mercy and help us mortals?"

Hearing Baijie's words, Yuki Yashahime sighed.

"Listen, boy... We gods are different from you. This difference is the difference between humans and gods. The good gods are well aware of this and will always keep their distance from you."

The lake owner's green eyes flashed with the color of the abyss.

"If we get too close, we'll be afraid that our own light and heat will be too bright and melt you; if we're too far away, we won't be able to take care of you."

Although there was genuine sorrow in her voice, her expression did not change.

"Mortals, receiving too many gifts from us, will become complacent and bring about their own destruction. This has happened too many times... The good gods have a common contract to abide by, and they cannot arbitrarily interfere with this world with their true bodies."

"Even if the world ends?"

"The concept of extinction only exists for you humans."

Yuki Yashahime explained calmly, "We don't have the concept of life and death. When this world is destroyed, when it is reborn in another timeline, we gods will be resurrected again."

She explained.

"Of course, aside from the quantum observers in Kunlun Ruins, or the Lord of the Cross who possesses multi-dimensional uniqueness, we, the less divine beings, don't possess the ability to perceive other timelines... But within a single timeline, the gods will only remain silent, not perish."

Yuki Yashahime looked at Baijie.

"Humanity's demise is solely a human matter. We are solely responsible for fulfilling our duties. In the past, there have been gods who wanted to help you or punish you, but in the end, their actions proved meaningless..."

"is it?"

Baijie sighed in his heart.

He finally understood why the setting collection stated that the eight million gods in the world view of "The Bright Moon in the Dark" were more like bureaucrats in the modern system. They were only responsible for operational work and did not actively intervene in human history.

"That strange little story that Mr. Matsudaira told, that so-called golden and silver axe story, could it be that it hints at the issue of Yuki Yashahime's stance?"

"On the other hand, Mahoraka, this little guy, went too far."

Yuki Yashahime shook her head.

"As long as it's a request from people, it won't refuse and will always comply. How can this be possible? A god must maintain its position. Blindly doting on mortals will only make them unfocused and lack the motivation to grow... If it truly encounters misfortune, it will be karma for its own actions."

"is it?"

After hearing this, Bai Jie realized that it would be difficult for him to convince the lake owner.

"Kukuku... don't look so disappointed, kid." The lake owner covered his mouth with his sleeves and laughed "oh hehe".

"I'm just saying I won't personally intervene in this matter, not that I can't offer you personal assistance... Although I can't appear in person or formally intervene, I can still help you resolve your problem with a little intervention."

"really?"

Bai Jie quickly asked, "How can you help me?"

"Since you're worried about Tenshin Sakura, then just tell it the situation directly."

Yuki Yashahime made a suggestion.

"Tell it directly?"

Baijie was very confused: "It seems that the 'Sakura God' Mahoura can only communicate with his shrine maiden? It's difficult for ordinary people to meet him, right?"

"Yes."

Yuki Yashahime lit her pipe and took a deep drag.

After a moment, she exhaled smoke and spoke again, "As a deity, Mahora is still too young. He was born very recently and has not yet achieved 'true divinity'. He is a weaker being than gods like us."

"However, its parents must have been the great plant god 'Jiujiunengzhi', whose status is even higher than mine, and whose potential is also astonishing... However, as a plant god, the process of its spiritual intelligence is very slow, requiring much longer than that of ordinary gods."

"Fortunately, it received a lot of support during its growth, but its soul was often dormant, with only a small consciousness floating in dreams. By merging with the dreams of its subjects, it gained the power to maintain a clear mind in dreams."

At this point, she laughed.

"I can help you connect to its dream. As for how to contact it, that's your job..."

……

"Ah sneeze!"

After being sent into the so-called dreamland of Tensakura Mahouya, Baijie sneezed several times.

"What the hell is this place?"

What comes into view is a sea of ​​flowers.

In the sky and on the ground, colorful flowers are spinning, and their petals are blown by the wind and dancing in the air.

——This is a world made up of flowers and green plants.

"Ah sneeze..."

He sneezed again.

Well~ this is really a dream that is not friendly to people with hay fever.

"Let's go east. I think we might find something there..."

The voice of Yuki Yashahime came from a small point of light beside her.

"How did you become like this?"

He was somewhat surprised.

"After all, this is another god's territory. Don't overthink it. Run quickly, or you'll get into trouble..."

trouble?!
What other troubles could there be in dreams?
The moment he thought of this, countless petals behind him rose up with a "boom" sound, and a huge palm made up of countless vines stretched out from under the sea of ​​flowers.

not good!

Baijie rushed forward and avoided the attack of the big green hand.

"This is Mahora's dream, isn't it? To protect the dream, a protective mechanism has been developed within it. Be careful not to get hit... or you'll be ejected from this dream!"

——You should have said this earlier!!
He ran as fast as he could.

……

I don’t know what strange place I ran to, the sea of ​​flowers disappeared, and the surrounding area was filled with blooming light green plants and red flowers, creating a dreamy atmosphere.

"The lake owner is also missing."

As if it was caught up in the previous chaos, the small light spot of the lake master's incarnation disappeared.

Bai Jie didn't know where to move, so he continued walking forward. A moment later, a gust of wind blew across his cheek, and he was completely stunned -

"This……"

A big moon hangs in the center of the clear night sky, and the dim moonlight shines on the red flowers below, making the red flowers look even more vivid.

Beneath a vast field of flowers under the moonlight.

The girl is sleeping.

She knelt on the ground with her hands clasped together as if in prayer.

The thin, transparent figure is brighter than moonlight.

Bai Jie couldn't help but gasp when he saw this scene, and the blade of the spear in his hand pointed directly at the girl.

"Hiira...Hiroko!!!"

Cold sweat broke out all over his body and his face seemed frozen.

This is the final BOSS of the main storyline of the first chapter, the spokesperson for the god Sakura Mahouya, and a contemporary wizard who can make the "God of Sakura" descend and manifest himself.

She is the living god who maintains the protection system of Tenjinzakura for Dewa Province.

At the end of this chapter, a monster, possessed by a vampire under the command of the First Emperor, the "Originator of Blood," awakens as a True Ancestor-class vampire. During the collapse of the Divine Sakura, this monster single-handedly nearly destroyed Dewa and the nation, leaving countless players with a bitter taste of defeat.
