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

Chapter 99 Hiiragi Hiruko's Dream

Standing at the end of the stone steps was an elderly shrine maiden.

She was a beauty. Her outfit was a pure white Chihaya with a crane pattern and a vibrant red hakama.

This older woman's name is Fumi, she is about thirty years old, a senior clergyman of the rank of the official, and also the acting chief priest of the Kamizakura main shrine.

"Hello, Miss Fumi."

Baijie walked to the end of the stone steps and bowed his head.

"You don't have to come out to greet me..."

"No no no."

The older witch smiled and said, "You are a very important guest. It would be rude of me not to come in person."

Ms. Fumi can be said to be the "leader" of the Kamizakura headquarters.

Because the Grand Witch's status is more special, she usually serves the deity Sakura Mahoura and cannot manage the affairs of the society. Therefore, Fumi, who serves as her deputy, takes over her work.

"Having said that, the work is actually quite easy. Places like shrines are supposed to be 'otherworldly places'. Unless you're preparing for ceremonies or performing rituals, there's basically nothing complicated to do..."

Fumi's voice was calm.

According to her, she was also the one who took care of Hiruko Hiiragi since she was a child.

Hiiragi Hiruko's mother is named "Miyo", and she should be the great shaman of the previous generation.

However, this is a secret. In fact, Hiiragi Hiruko has lived as an "orphan" in the Kamizakura main shrine since she was born.

Yes, Hiiragi Hiruko has never seen her mother. The one who took care of her growing up was the shrine maiden, and Fumi's identity is closer to her "mother".

"Although I've become much more stable and reserved now, when I was little, I was a naughty kid~~"

Fumei chatted with Baijie as if he were a parent.

"But no matter what, I have to thank you for your help. Without your help, I can't imagine what would have happened to Zhou Zi... Although those things can't be spread outside, I still want to thank you sincerely."

What she was talking about, of course, was Hiiragi Hiruko's transformation into a vampire.

Of course, this matter is not allowed to be spread outside, and people from all parties who are aware of the situation have been given a gag order.

Baijie knew that among those who participated in the battle, the guards and magicians sent by the Renjo Senjuro Chamber of Commerce were all under silence. The "Night Walkers" under the command of Jiujiutsu were spies and would not leak any information.

Kuzuka also issued a "no leaking" order to the members of the Kurohimeyama clan and the staff of the Riyuin Institute. Presumably, the news about Hiiragi Hiruko's vampire transformation will remain a secret.

"But, in reality, it's not a big deal."

Baijie thought that it was difficult to tell the difference between a True Ancestor-level vampire like Hiruko Hiiragi and an ordinary person.

The vast majority of True Ancestors can disguise themselves as humans and live quietly in human society.

They also survive by sucking blood, but they "eat" very little, unlike other vampires who need to attack humans frequently.

However, Hiruko Hiiragi's situation is more special. Her "Hinrin no Miko", that is, the bloodline of the living god, is too powerful and can suppress the "part" of the vampire. This ensures that the part of her that belongs to the "vampire" is in a perfect balance with her human "part".

After she was hit by Ye Ming's "Soul Slash" for the second time, even her violent bloodthirsty impulse was calmed down. Her current condition is closer to a stable state. As long as she maintains this state, she will hardly be affected by the vampire's innate defects.

"Ms. Fumi is so polite."

Baijie thought about it and took over the words from "Dai Gongji" Fumi.

"To be frank, I only did a few minor things... Although Miss Fumi said that I helped Master Hiruko, in reality, I was only doing what was within my responsibility."

"is it?"

Fumi smiled slightly.

Then, she led Baijie through the vermilion gate and the outer worship hall, and moved towards the inner courtyard.

Kamizakura Main Shrine is a shrine centered around the huge Tenjinzakura Mahoura building. Its layout is divided into three areas, namely the outer courtyard, inner courtyard, and inner inner courtyard. The deepest area is the main hall and the blessing hall where Mahoura is enshrined.

"Of course, there are also places for the Grand Priestess to rest... Actually, since Hiruko is a Priestess, she needs to accompany Master Mahora constantly, so she needs to stay near Tenjinzakura as much as possible on weekdays..."

As Fumi spoke, she led Baijie to the huge cherry tree in the inner courtyard.

"Oh."

She suddenly realized something and half-closed her eyes.

"It looks like everyone has arrived."

Baijie also noticed that, as if in a dream, under the huge cherry blossoms that were blooming completely regardless of the winter cold, there was a girl standing there with her hands pressed against the tree trunk.

The girl was wearing an elegant outfit that was different from other shrine maidens. It was a more ceremonial outfit - the skirt and sleeves were particularly long, and the overall design was loose and comfortable, with almost no straps.

What is even more impressive is the red ropes sewn everywhere on the edges of the cloth, which should be decorative edges.

The great imperial shaman in white clothes and a red skirt was standing beside the trunk of the Tenshin Sakura tree with her eyes slightly closed. Her posture seemed as if she was concentrating on some ritual or praying.

Her profile fascinated Baijie for a moment. For a few seconds, he even forgot to breathe. The girl was so beautiful that she was no less beautiful than the blooming cherry blossoms.

"No... What are you thinking about!?"

Fortunately, he calmed down quickly.

"She is a woman of royal origin. Although we don't know who her father is, it's best not to make any troublesome assumptions."

Just as Baijie was thinking about these things, perhaps she heard a voice or noticed his gaze, the girl suddenly opened her eyes and turned her gaze towards him.

"Eh."

Baijie thought to himself, but it was too late.

The two people looked at each other.

His heart raced.

At the same time, the girl with her back to the cherry tree was surprised by the visitor and looked panicked - she seemed to have thought of something and was about to run over here, but she slipped and fell heavily.

"How can you fall even on flat ground?"

Well, because she fell on the soft grass, the damage was minimized, but Hiiragi Hiruko's face was still wrinkled in pain.

"Is everything okay?"

Baijie rushed over using the "Shrinking the Earth" technique.

"Miss Zhuzi, you haven't recovered yet, have you?" He stretched out his hand and helped the girl up.

"No, it's okay."

The girl's heart was pounding like a rabbit.

"I just accidentally fell... I'm in good health and there's nothing wrong with me."

"is it?"

Baijie's voice was filled with suspicion.

He thought, I hope nothing happens to Hiiragi Hiruko. He had spent so much effort to save her. If something happened to her body again, losing this "Mikoto of the Sun" would be a heavy blow to him.

"...Why, why, why is he here?"

Although Hiiragi Hiruko had a stern face, her eyes were already starting to swirl with panic.

"Let's get up first, then we'll talk."

Baijie's voice was very gentle.

"Okay, okay..."

She replied very weakly.

"Is Miss Hiruko really alright?"

Baijie asked again.

"No, nothing, nothing... Well, don't worry about it."

After being helped up, Hiiragi Hiruko quickly turned her face away.

You can see that the back of her neck is already red.

Puff puff puff puff...

Right behind the two of them, Miss Meifu was covering the corners of her mouth with her sleeves, trying hard to hold back her laughter - Oh, here she comes, here she comes, it was worth it that I secretly invited this person!
To be honest, Meifu, who came from a famous family of exorcists and had the blood of nobles in Kyoto, had no complaints about her daily work.

The only pity is that the work at Shenying Headquarters is not entertaining at all, but she is a person with a very serious gossipy nature.

Think about it, in this boring workplace full of women, what else is worth exploring more than a love story between a man and a woman, let alone the sweet and sour love story between young boys and girls.

This "acting priest" was so excited that his eyes were wide open.

"Puff puff puff... I've always thought Hiruko kept repeating this name, and now it seems to be true. Just looking at her makes her panic so much that she falls over! It's so adorable!"

She wiped her saliva secretly.

"You two seem to be on good terms, but this isn't the place for a conversation... Please go to the rest room over there and have a good chat..."

……

These days, Hiiragi Hiruko has been having dreams frequently.

She used to hardly dream, and according to Mahora, this was an effect of the blood curse.

However, after the power of the True Ancestor-level vampire "Hong Tianyin" was absorbed by her, Hiiragi Hiruko seemed to no longer be affected by the blood curse and was able to sleep normally.

“So embarrassing!!!”

That morning, she woke up from her dream and kicked the quilt desperately.

"What kind of awful dreams were those?"

It must have been a wet dream.

She was held in the man's arms, and he was looking down at her with gentle eyes like the warm sunshine in spring - Hiiragi Hiruko's heart was moved and she felt like her body was about to melt.

"...Hiruko-sama."

The man murmured in a low voice.

His low and magnetic voice seemed to be completely driven into despair by her.

"No... You can't do this!"

She recalled how she felt like she was about to be drowned in it and screamed out loud.

"I had the same dream again. And why was it 'him'?!"

The girl was filled with complicated emotions and hugged the pillow tightly, curling up like a woodlice.

……

——Zhuozi, listen to me.

After breakfast, as usual, she was trying to communicate with Tensakura Mahoura during the day when she heard the voice of the divine cherry tree god.

"You...are you in love? Hiruko..."

"Mahora-sama, w-what are you talking about?"

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in that area, but I can see your dreams," Mahora's voice was that of a little girl.

"Well, our channels are easily interoperable, so if you're dreaming, I can sense it from here—"

“S-So…the dream I had—?”

Hiiragi Hiruko's face gradually turned red and her clenched fists kept shaking.

"Sorry, I saw it all... I guess what you think about during the day, you think about it at night?"

Poof!

Her face was so red that it seemed like it was about to explode, and the sound of steam erupting could be faintly heard.

——You’re lying…you’re lying, why…this kind of thing…I don’t know why Mahora-sama would spy on my dream~~~This is so bad, so bad, the worst!!!
"No, no, no, I really don't mean any harm. I just sensed your dream unilaterally... Wait a minute, Hiruko, it seems like there are guests at the shrine. Sorry, I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you!"

Mahora didn't want to continue arguing with his own miko, so the deity quickly hung up the connection.

Hiiragi Hiruko was also reminded that there were guests coming to the Kamizakura main shrine. She quickly suppressed the confusion in her heart and was about to put on a welcoming expression when she saw a familiar figure.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ! !
Her heart screamed like a cry.
