I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

"So what if you're ten years older than me!!"

"So what if I can't get married!!"

"I have a personality like an older man. So what if I like to eat meat, drink alcohol, and smoke?!"

With every word he spoke, Inoue Ueya's momentum grew stronger.

The coldness on Shizuka Hiratsuka's face was also there.

Hearing this, Shizuka Hiratsuka finally couldn't help but give Mr. Inoue another heavy punch.

“That’s enough, ahhhh, shut up!!”

"Well……"

Inoue Ue did not dodge, and used his body to withstand Hiratsuka Shizuka's punch, and couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

You can't fall down like this!

——Mr. Inoue also has his own insistence, he must finish what he wants to say!!

"Who is that person who always worries about students with problems and spends extra time on them?"

“Who are the people who silently support them behind the scenes?”

"Jingkeai is Jingkeai. There's no need to feel inferior or sad because you can't get married. It's just that the other person is blind!"

At this point, Inoue Ueya's voice resounded throughout the classroom, "The conclusion is that even if you are ten, twenty, or even a hundred years older than me, even if you are an old woman, you are still a charming old woman and the best teacher in Mr. Inoue's eyes!"

——This is Inoue Ueya’s Perfect Conclusion!!

Looking at the other person with the clearest eyes and speaking the most true thoughts in his heart, this is Inoue Ueya's usual style.

"Shizuka Hiratsuka should be proud of her age, at least that's what Mr. Inoue thinks."

Listening to this, Shizuka Hiratsuka was completely stunned. To be honest, she should have been happy that this guy had gone through so much trouble to praise her, but after hearing Inoue Ueya call her an "old woman" and "unmarriageable", she was no longer happy. She felt conflicted and didn't know why she suddenly wanted to punch him...

However, Shizuka Hiratsuka still smiled, and it was a very bright smile.

"Are these your last words?"

Hearing what Shizuka Hiratsuka said, Inoue Ueya widened his eyes. This is different from the script I imagined?

According to Jing's lovely personality, shouldn't she run away shyly?

But it doesn't matter!

Inoue Ueya had already realized that the moment he said it, he was aware that he might be beaten up by Hiratsuka Shizuka, and he would not back down! !

Mr. Inoue looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka calmly, as if he were an old monk who had long since seen through the mundane world. "Ah, I'm done. Go ahead."

I saw Hiratsuka Shizuka approaching Inoue Ueya step by step, and then extended her right hand towards Inoue Ueya——

He flexed his fingers and lightly tapped Inoue Ueya's forehead.

"Flick the forehead?!"

This must be a lie. Shizuka Hiratsuka didn't take any action this time?

Inoue Ueya looked at Hiratsuka Shizuka in surprise. This was a bit beyond his expectations.

Then, Shizuka Hiratsuka turned around and walked towards the classroom door, saying as she walked, "Really? You, a problem student, don't have the qualifications to teach me a lesson. Take a good look at yourself first."

[After tapping his forehead, he turned around and walked away. It was so cool. ]

Jingai nodded secretly in her heart, seeming to be very satisfied with Inoue Ueya's reaction.

Perfect, so perfect.

"Hmm...Jingkeai, you don't think you were handsome just now, do you?" Inoue Ueya said to himself.

Shizuka Hiratsuka, who was about to walk out the door, suddenly stopped.

Inoue Ueya nodded secretly, "Hehe, a tsundere at his age? But this is also a cute contrast, Sbarasi..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka turned to look at Inoue Ueya again, putting on a smiling face, "Yoshi, I've changed my mind. After all, I still have to beat you up to vent my anger."

"???"

Chapter 21 I think this is enough

As always, Yukinoshita Yukino sat on a chair by the window, reading a book, and occasionally glanced in the direction of Inoue Ueya, "Isn't your girlfriend, Hachishaku-sama, here today?"

"You're talking about Sachiko, she... shouldn't be coming today, right?"

When asked by Yukinoshita Yukino, Inoue Ueya immediately remembered what happened in the morning.

-

This morning, when Mr. Inoue got up, he saw Sadako and Yashayuki making breakfast in the kitchen.

Although Yashayuki said that she can't cook, but with Miss Sadako, who is an expert in cooking, watching over her, nothing should go wrong, right?

At least that's what Inoue Ue thought at the time.

But when they put breakfast on the table, he immediately backed off.

It’s just a sandwich, so why does Yashakuyuki’s sandwich emit golden light?

At that time, Inoue Ueya was looking at the glowing food in front of him, but something else came to his mind. Why did this golden light look a little familiar?

Just like the spell that Yashaku Yuki cast in the park...

Just as Inoue Ueya remembered it, the sandwich moved on its own, suddenly crashed through the ceiling of the Inoue family's house, and then flew into the sky.

Under the questioning of the angry Miss Sadako, Yashayuki finally confessed that he had secretly injected spiritual power into the food.

"The TV show clearly said that adding energy to food will make it more delicious," said Yashayuki with a look of grievance.

Well, it's enough that no one got hurt, and Mr. Inoue doesn't really care about other things.

But Miss Sadako took Yashayuki out, saying that they were going out to buy materials to repair the ceiling.

Kotoko Iwanaga received a new commission and also went out.

-

"She probably won't come to school today... probably."

"That's it."

Yukinoshita Yukino breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

Perhaps driven by curiosity, she started searching for stories about "Hachisha-sama" on the Internet after returning home last night. Firstly, it was because she knew that urban legends were real, and secondly, the content she found was a bit scary. As a result, she couldn't fall asleep after reading for a while.

Seeing the change in Yukinoshita Yukino's expression, Inoue Ueya teased: "Are you afraid of ghosts or something like that?"

"Don't get me wrong, I just don't want to be possessed anymore."

As she spoke, Yukinoshita Yukino continued to focus her eyes on the book in her hand.

Inoue Ueya scratched his head. Sometimes it was really hard for him to guess what Yukinoshita Yukino was thinking. "Last time was just an accident. They usually only attach themselves to me."

""they"?"

Yukinoshita Yukino turned her gaze to Inoue Ueya again.

"Well, you've seen it too. Wasn't I possessed right away on Mr. Inoue's first day at the Service Club?"

"I see. Were you possessed at that time?"

Yukinoshita Yukino recalled how she was left speechless by the other party that day, and she couldn't help but pursed her lips.

In the past, she was isolated because she was too outstanding. After that, she always had an indifferent expression on her face.

Since she hates interpersonal relationships full of hypocrisy, then she can just not get along with others. After all, it’s okay for her to be alone as she is so outstanding, right?

Since I have lost trust in people, I just need to never rely on others again, so I won’t be betrayed again, right?

He speaks nice words but does nothing to match them. His dream of changing people and the world is just empty talk.

In the end, Yukinoshita Yukino unknowingly became the kind of person she hated the most.

"Maybe, I'm really a little abnormal." Yukinoshita Yukino said in a low voice.

"what?"

Inoue Ueya frowned and looked at Yukinoshita Yukino, "You are not really shaken by what Miss Sadako said, are you?"

"Sadako? Are you talking about the Sadako who runs out of the TV?"

The stern expression on Yukinoshita Yukino's face could no longer be maintained, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"You didn't expect that you would be lectured by the legendary Sadako."

Compared to "Hachisha-sama", Miss Sadako is much more famous. She was even made into a classic horror movie and became an urban legend known to people all over the world.

"I didn't expect Sadako's personality to be like this..."

Inoue Ueya quickly waved his hands, denying Yukinoshita Yukino's idea, "No, no, no, she should, no, absolutely! She definitely did it on purpose. My Miss Sadako is usually a very cute and lively girl!"

"..."

"So? Are you starting to feel confused because of what Miss Sadako said?"

Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino thought for a while, just shook her head, and did not answer Inoue Ueya's question.

Looking at the silent Yukinoshita Yukino, Mr. Inoue sighed, holding back his thoughts and bearing the pressure alone. This is probably the Yukinoshita Yukino-style tsundere, right?

Well, I don't know how far I can go...

Now that he had noticed her confusion, Inoue Ue could no longer just stand by and watch.

If she is unwilling to take the initiative, then Mr. Inoue will take the initiative.

"Do you think you're wrong?"

Yukinoshita Yukino did not answer.

"Don't you want to realize your dream of changing people and the world?"

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned, but still did not answer.

"Do you want to admit it? Admit everything you have done? Do you want to give up just like that?" Inoue Ueya continued to ask.

"No, I never intended to give up!" replied Yukinoshita Yukino.

"Then why are you confused? Now that you've decided on the path you want to take, why not just keep going forward?"

“…I have an excellent sister.”

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed, closed the book in her hands, and slowly said, "Ever since I was a child, I dreamed of becoming someone like her. So even when I was betrayed by trusted friends and ostracized by my classmates, I never thought of running away."

"Because if I run away, I don't think I'll be able to move forward and get closer to her."

As she spoke, Yukinoshita Yukino stood up and looked at the scenery outside the window. "But along the way, my personality has gradually become colder without me noticing. I no longer trust anyone, no longer want to rely on others, and I began to think that I can solve all problems by myself, but in fact..."

"Can I really continue to move forward like this?"

"..."

So that's what Yukinoshita Yukino really thinks?

"I say, do you really need to be so entangled?"

Inoue Ueya scratched his head and said softly, "Whether it's right or wrong, try not to think from the perspective of an "excellent older sister," but from the perspective of Yukinoshita Yukino."

"My identity?" Yukinoshita Yukino was a little confused.

"That's right, it's not someone else, it's yourself! You don't have to deliberately imitate anyone, and you don't need to care about other people's opinions. All you need to do is look at yourself carefully, listen carefully to the voice in your head, and be your true self. I think that's enough."

Inoue Ueya smiled brightly and said in a serious tone, "So, try to believe in your own possibilities, Yukinoshita-san."

Chapter 22 It's a Promise

Inoue Ueya walked out of the service club classroom with a confused look on his face.

Did I just say something profound?

Anyway, Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to have realized something, and her expression wasn't so ugly anymore, so it should be a good thing?
