I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

In addition to training in taijutsu, Yashaku Yuki would occasionally come here with Hanakaiin Yuura to study Yin-Yang magic. Surprisingly, people weren't frightened by Yashaku Yuki's presence. Instead, strange rumors began to spread, such as "Yashiku-sama can punch through the clouds" and "Seeing Yashaku-sama brings good luck."

Maybe it was because of Yasha Yuki's harmless appearance, or maybe it was because of her simple personality, but the people here didn't seem to be afraid of Yasha anymore.

This should be considered a good thing, right?

Yashakuyuki smiled at everyone and replied, "Ahahaha, good afternoon, everyone."

"Ohh ...

"Great! I see Hachishaku-sama's smile!"

Well, although there are still some weird fans, this should be considered a good thing, right?

Without saying much, Inoue Ueya pulled the two of them to a secluded location.

Come to think of it, it seems that Yukinoshita Yukino is also trying to improve her physical strength. Should we call her over someday?

Inoue Ueya smiled and said to Natsukawa Hanako: "Then, start exercising to lose weight!"

"Ahh, I don't want to become a fat woman!"

Thinking of her body shape, Hanako Natsukawa instantly became motivated.

Chapter 59: Does this count as human-powered power generation?

Hanako Natsukawa looked at her red suspender skirt, thought for a moment, and then a red light flashed on her body as she changed into a sports suit.

"The next training is going to be very strenuous, Hanako-chan, are you really okay?"

"Ah, to lose weight... No, anyway, please."

Yashayuki looked at Hanako Natsukawa and nodded happily. This was the first time that Hanako-chan, a junior, relied on him. As her senior, he must not let her down!

"Well, since this is Hanako-chan's first time exercising, the intensity shouldn't be too high... Let's try to complete this first: sit-ups, push-ups, and squats, twenty reps per set, for five consecutive sets."

"Oooooh--wait, what are sit-ups?"

"..."

So, Inoue Ueya started daily training with the two urban legends.

Looking at the sweaty Hanako Natsukawa doing push-ups, with red lightning flashing across her body from time to time, Mr. Inoue began to fall into deep thought. Why would lightning appear during normal exercise?

Does this count as human-generated electricity?

"Huhu, what's that? You scared me. Isn't this exercise very relaxing?"

Unexpectedly, Hanako Natsukawa's physical strength was even stronger than imagined, and she easily completed the goal that Yasha Yuki had mentioned.

Hearing this, Yashayuki finally came back to his senses from his training. He turned to look at Hanako Natsukawa and said in surprise, "Huh? Hanako-chan, you can't use "fear" to recover from fatigue. This kind of cheating behavior will not be effective!"

"Huh? So?"

"Hmm, please do it again, Hanako-chan!"

"hiss--"

Now that was great. Hanako Natsukawa turned completely gray and lay motionless on the ground.

Then, Inoue Ueya reached out and gently patted Hanako Natsukawa's shoulder, and said softly: "Wake up, Hanako, don't you want to lose weight? Don't stop!"

I saw Hanako Natsukawa sighing and looking at the sky silently, as if she had something on her mind.

"...Inoue, is it really okay for me to stay in your house all the time?"

???

Why does Hanako Natsukawa, who was full of energy just now, suddenly look so sad?

"If I don't have to fight, I'm useless. I'm just a guy who stays at home and is isolated all day..."

"Hey, so you know that you are autistic?" Inoue Ueya was shocked.

After a brief pause, Inoue Ueya continued, "But if you want, you can stay in my house forever."

“…Why are you so nice to me?”

"If you're not here, I'll be very troubled."

"Eh, w-why?"

Hanako Natsukawa still didn't understand, but as she listened to what Ueya Inoue said, she felt inexplicably itchy in her heart.

"Without Hanako-san at home, if, for example, Mr. Inoue gets attacked by a delinquent on his way home, there's no one I can escape from, okay?"

"Huh? That's it?"

"What do you mean, that's it? This is a truly remarkable feat. She can make Mr. Inoue disappear into thin air and instantly escape back to his bathroom. This is something only Hanako can do."

Inoue Ueya raised the corner of his mouth slightly and reached out his hand towards Natsukawa Hanako who was lying on the ground.

"Come on, haven't you decided to exercise properly?"

"Ahh... no matter what, the top spot on the urban legend female popularity list will always belong to me, Hanako!"

Hanako Natsukawa mustered up her motivation and devoted herself to training again.

Seeing this, Inoue Ueya couldn't help but sigh and nodded secretly.

Well, it seems that older girls not only care about people asking their age, but also care about their body shape...

I guess I understand. Now Mr. Inoue's emotional intelligence has been improved again. As long as he remembers it well, Mr. Inoue will not be embarrassed by this, right?

"Yoshi, today I am also a Hardworking Knight!"

……

After a long time, as the sky gradually darkened, it was time for the three of them to go home.

Inoue Ueya carried the exhausted Natsukawa Hanako on his back and opened the door of the Inoue family with a smile on his face.

"We're back!"

As soon as the words fell, Miss Sadako's voice came from the distant kitchen, "Welcome back."

Then, Inoue Ueya put Natsukawa Hanako down from his back.

"Why don't you guys take a shower first? You smell a bit too much of sweat, huh?"

Hanako Natsukawa frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with what Inoue Ueya said, and suddenly moved closer to him, "Humph, you sultry pervert, stop pretending to be a gentleman in front of me. Do you actually like this kind of thing? Can't you smell my scent for a while longer?"

"..."

Hearing this, Yasha Yuki showed a shy expression and said shyly: "Hey hey hey, husband, do you like this kind of play? Actually, Yuki, Yukiko doesn't mind either, right?"

"Hey, hey, enough is enough. Mr. Inoue is trying very hard to stay rational!"

Seeing that Natsukawa Hanako's smile gradually became weird, Inoue Ueya decided to run away, "Really, I don't care. If you don't wash, Mr. Inoue will wash first."

"Wait, I need to wash first!"

"Hehehe, who wants to wait for you, you big idiot Hanako!"

In the end, Hanako and Yashayuki went to take a shower first.

Inoue Ueya sat in the living room with an expressionless face, lost in thought.

——It seems like even Hanako has started teasing Mr. Inoue lately...

Has Mr. Inoue's authority weakened again?

Wait, why did I say again?

Inoue Ueya suddenly stood up and shouted, "No! It was wrong from the beginning. Mr. Inoue is not a sultry pervert!"

Just now he didn't understand what Hanako was laughing at, but now he finally understood why.

Kotoko Iwanaga walked out of the room and saw Mr. Inoue shouting.

"Oh, Ueya-kun, you're back."

Then, she moved closer to Inoue Ueya, sniffed carefully, and then stared at Inoue Ueya with sharp eyes.

"Sniff sniff sniff... Tell me, why is it this time?"

"what?"

Kami-sama grabbed Inoue Ueya's shoulders and shook him vigorously, saying with a look of dissatisfaction, "Why does Ueya-kun smell like Sachiko and Hanako?"

"I guess I accidentally got it on me when I went out for exercise with them?" Inoue Ueya, who was being shaken, explained intermittently.

Iwanaga Kotoko frowned, not knowing what she was thinking about, and gave Inoue Ueya a wicked smile. "Hey, Ueya-kun, did you know that some monsters will let their things be stained with their own scent. The reason is to mark them, just like the habit of dogs..."

Chapter 60 This is Miss Sadako’s absolute advantage!

"...So, what do you want to do now?"

Inoue Ueya gently let go of Iwanaga Kotoko's hand, and then took several steps back.

This Kami-sama might be more like a lady when she's with other people, but when she's alone with Inoue Ueya...

"Of course I'll let you smell like me!"

As she said this, Iwanaga Kotoko hugged Inoue Ueya tightly, revealing her true face as a female hooligan.

"Let go. I just came back from exercise and I'm all sweaty. Do you still want to hold me?"

"Hmm, I don't think Ueya-kun smells bad. At worst, I can take a shower with you later. I don't mind, okay?"

At this time, Miss Sadako walked out of the kitchen and saw Kotoko Iwanaga hugging Inoue Ueya. Her rationality immediately broke down and she immediately stepped forward and grabbed Kotoko Iwanaga.

"Let go! You bitch, let me go!"

——It was a mistake. Since Iwanaga Kotoko was often not at home, Miss Sadako relaxed her vigilance against her a little. She didn't expect that Kami would secretly hook up with the stupid Ueya while she was cooking?

Miss Sadako pushed Iwanaga Kotoko away and tightly held Inoue Ueya's left hand.

"I've said it from the beginning, haven't I? The plant is mine too—mine!"

"Humph, anyone would say something like that. Ueya-kun is mine!"

As she spoke, Iwanaga Kotoko, not to be outdone, grabbed Mr. Inoue's right hand.

"Hey, hey, everything has been normal for several days, and you're here again?" Inoue Ueya showed a look of horror on his face as two girls grabbed his hands respectively.

Ignoring Inoue Ueya's complaints, the two girls looked at each other.

"The plant is mine too!"

Inoue Ueya was pulled to the left by Miss Sadako.

"its mine!"

Inoue Ueya was pulled back to the right by Iwanaga Kotoko again.

"It's mine!" "It's Miss Sadako's!"

At this time, Mr. Inoue's hands were being pulled in opposite directions by two people.

"Hey, hey, stop..."

Wait, is it really okay to just stop them like usual?

Judging from Hanako's change of attitude just now, if this continues, Mr. Inoue's authority in the family will disappear completely.

——That’s right, I am a man after all, I can’t be a coward anymore, I must take the initiative!

As if he had figured something out, the fear on Inoue Ueya's face disappeared, and instead his eyes showed a clear look that had not been seen for a long time.

Inoue Ueya held the hands of the two girls with his backhand, and while they were not able to react, he exerted force and pulled Miss Sadako and Iwanaga Kotoko into his arms and hugged them tightly.

"Alright, alright, stop making trouble. I've got you two in my arms, right?"

"Stupid Ueya, let me go!" Miss Sadako was caught off guard and her face turned red in an instant. She said this, but she did not break free from Inoue Ueya's hand. Instead, she held it even tighter.

"You're so old, and still so shy." Inoue Ueya shook his head.

"Do you mean to dislike me? Inoue Ueya!"

On the other side, Kotoko Iwanaga nodded secretly. She did not struggle, but stayed close to Inoue Ueya, silently watching Miss Sadako gritting her teeth.

"Heh, if you want to leave, then leave quickly and don't come here to seduce Ueya-kun!"
