I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

"Shut up, you female hooligan are not qualified to be a Kami!"

"Huh, isn't it the same for you? Urban legends don't even look like urban legends anymore!"

"Hey, hey, stop quarreling! I'll let go if you continue quarreling!" Inoue Ueya said dissatisfiedly.

"..."

How should I put it? The strong Inoue Ue is still very rare. After hearing what he said, the two girls who were hugged fell silent in tacit understanding.

At this time, Yashayuki and Hanako came out of the bathroom and saw Inoue Ueya hugging people on both sides in the living room.

"..."

Yashayuki then looked like he was about to cry and ran towards Inoue Ueya.

"Don't be unfaithful, my husband belongs to Sachiko!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yashayuki jumped up and pounced on Inoue Ueya.

He knew that the oncoming Yashaku Yuki could be his ticket to heaven, and that this was an unbearable burden for life, but—!!

Whatever happens, there's nothing to be afraid of anymore.

Inoue Ueya's expression remained unchanged. He smiled calmly and stood there without dodging. Thinking of not letting the two girls beside him get accidentally hurt by Yasha Yuki, he let go of their hands and tried to raise his hands to catch Yasha Yuki.

"Come on, Sachiko!"

boom!

A huge force came, and just as he expected, Inoue Ue was completely unable to catch Yashaku Yuki who was flying towards him.

Then, Mr. Inoue was thrown to the ground. Before he lost consciousness, Inoue Ueya was still thinking, and said in a weak voice: "This time, I finally showed my dignity as a boy..."

After he finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, revealing a peaceful look on his face.

"Zhi——also——"

"Hey, my dear husband, what's wrong with you?"

Hanako Natsukawa looked at the four people in front of her speechlessly and couldn't help but sigh, "So, what are you doing?"

……

Well, actually Inoue Ueya wasn't hurt too much.

The moment she saw Mr. Inoue being knocked down by her, Yashayuki immediately came to her senses. At least after the experience from last time, she did not press her whole body on him this time.

"Speaking of which, Shiye, I received a package from my parents today. It's over there. You can open it and take a look. I have to go back to cook."

Miss Sadako seemed to remember something and pointed to the unopened package on the table next to her.

"Wait, Mom and Dad? Could it be that--" Yashayuki seemed to have heard some key words.

"Yes, I'm talking about Ueya's parents."

In fact, Inoue Ue had not concealed the existence of Miss Sadako from his parents. The main reason was that he made a lot of noise when he contracted Sadako, and his parents also discovered that a girl had inexplicably appeared in his room...

At that time, before Inoue Ue had time to explain, Miss Sadako had already walked up to her parents and introduced herself to them.

It has to be said that Inoue Ueya's parents were both a bit thick-skinned. After they learned about Miss Sadako's general situation, although they were a little surprised at the existence of urban legends, they still allowed Sadako to live in the Inoue family without hesitation.

For some unknown reason, Inoue's parents loved Sadako even more than their own son, Inoue Ueya. Before going abroad to work, they carefully instructed Mr. Inoue to take good care of Miss Sadako.

Well, to be honest, Mr. Inoue was feeling a bit guilty, because in fact, it was Miss Sadako who took care of him.

Miss Sadako smiled confidently, looking at Yashayuki and Iwanaga Kotoko with contempt, "Huh, didn't expect that? I've already met Ueya's parents a long time ago, and they're very satisfied with me. They even said they want me to marry Ueya! This is Miss Sadako's absolute advantage!"

"Nani?"

"Eh eh eh eh?"

Both of them suffered inexplicable psychological shocks and showed surprised expressions.

Inoue Ue couldn't help but shake his head, ignoring the girls next to him, and walked silently to the package.

Chapter 61 Doll

This is not the first time that Inoue Ueya's parents have sent something.

For some reason, if they see something unusual that interests them, they usually buy it...

Even the videotape that trapped Miss Sadako was something they bought from somewhere.

It was for this reason that those working away from home would occasionally send some strange things back as gifts for Inoue Ueya and Miss Sadako...

For example, a kaleidoscope that can see the future, a cursed ring, etc.

Inoue Ueya initially thought, "If these are real, why would anyone sell them?" However, Miss Sadako actually discovered several real items. All of them were cursed items, with effects that brought bad luck to people, such as falling down when walking and losing their wallets without noticing...

"All in all, I hope the package will be normal this time."

Inoue Ueya sighed and opened the brown cardboard box in front of him.

"Oh? What? The things sent this time are actually normal."

When I opened the brown cardboard box, I was greeted by a variety of snacks. Upon closer inspection, they were all unfamiliar foreign brands...

Well, it's ok, at least it's edible.

After searching for a while, I found a worn cardboard box at the bottom of the snack pile.

"This is……?"

This paper box looks like the kind of window-type packaging box that usually contains toys, but it has probably been stored for too long and has started to fade a little.

From the transparent film on the packaging, you can see a blonde doll placed intact in the cardboard box. In stark contrast to the worn-out cardboard box, the doll inside looks well-maintained, as if it were a new product.

"Tsk tsk, this level of sophistication...could this be a specially-ordered doll?"

Looking at the worn cardboard box in front of him and then at the doll inside, Inoue Ueya had a bad feeling in his heart. Could this be another strange cursed item?

Taking the doll out and taking a closer look, I found that it was not too big, about the same as the common ones, about thirty to forty centimeters.

She has big wavy golden hair, purple eyes, delicate facial features, and is wearing a black dress in the Gothic Lolita style.

Then, Inoue Ueya reached out and touched the doll's face.

"Wait, this feels like... the legendary silicone doll?"

At this time, Hanako Natsukawa came over and took a curious look into the brown cardboard box.

“Wow, that’s a lot of snacks!”

Hanako Natsukawa's eyes lit up instantly. She tugged at the corner of Inoue Ueya's clothes and continued, "Hey, Inoue, give me some of these snacks."

"Huh? Didn't you say you wanted to lose weight?" Inoue Ue asked in confusion.

"You don't understand. It's because I'm exercising more that I can eat more snacks!"

"Hey, but your weight loss plan..."

"No problem, I can leave this kind of worry to myself when I'm exercising. Right now, I want to live in the present moment!"

"Ah... is this how you live in the moment?"

As she spoke, Hanako Natsukawa took away most of the snacks, then collapsed on the sofa and continued watching anime.

Inoue Ue couldn't help but shake his head and didn't continue to stop her. Since they all came out of the bathroom, he should go take a shower as well. His body felt sticky after exercise and it felt really uncomfortable.

"Hehehe, Ueya-kun, do you want a mixed bath?" Iwanaga Kotoko followed behind Inoue Ueya with a weird smile on her face.

"No, although it's a little tempting, Mr. Inoue wants to take a proper bath now."

"Eh--"

So Inoue Ueya put the doll and the package on the table beside him, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

However, he did not notice one thing. The moment he put the doll down, the doll actually blinked and stood up.

rustling...

"Ok?"

Hanako Natsukawa heard a strange sound not far behind her and subconsciously turned around to look.

However, she only saw the brown cardboard box placed on the table, but did not see any human figure.

"Strange, is this an illusion?"

——Is it because I’ve been too addicted to TV recently that there’s something wrong with my perception?

"Whatever, magical girls are so pretty!!"

Hanako started watching a new animation, which was the disc she just picked out from the TV cabinet. I think it was called Puella Magi Madoka Magica?

Well, magical girls and Pretty Cure should be similar anyway, right?

……

After a long time, Inoue Ueya came out of the bathroom and was about to continue packing the package, but found that the doll had disappeared.

Well, it should be Miss Sadako who took it, right?

Inoue Ue didn't think much about it and put all the remaining snacks in the brown cardboard box into the drawer of the TV cabinet. He said, "Hey, the snacks are all here. If you want to eat, come here and get them."

"I know, I know, stop blocking the TV!" Hanako Natsukawa said dissatisfiedly.

"Oh, really..." Mr. Inoue sighed, his voice full of helplessness and worry.

Listening to what Hanako said, Mr. Inoue felt that he was gradually becoming a nagging old father...

How should I put it? I have a weird feeling in my heart. No matter how I put it, Hanako Natsukawa is older than me.

Inoue Ueya shook his head and put this bad idea behind him, but when he turned around, he suddenly saw a card under the empty cardboard box.

Then he took the card out of the cardboard box and took a closer look. The card seemed to have been soaked in water and the words written on it became blurred.

Inoue Ueya frowned, looked at the words on the card, and subconsciously said, "What is the cursed thing?"

So this is confirmed.

The doll just now should be the cursed item that the parents sent back this time.

So, Mr. Inoue walked into the kitchen and asked Miss Sadako, "Sadako, did you take the doll out of the package? It seems to be a cursed item."

"What? I don't have it. Someone else must have taken it."

"Eh?"

"Alright, alright, get out of here!"

Seeing that Miss Sadako was concentrating on cooking, Inoue Ueya decisively left the kitchen.

So the question is, who took the doll?

Hachishakuyuki?

Natsukawa Hanako?

Kotoko Iwanaga?

Speaking of which, it wouldn't seem like there would be any problem if any of them took the doll. It was just a suspected cursed item. The three of them were either Kami or powerful city masters. There was no way they were afraid of such a small thing.

Well, no one will get hurt anyway, so it doesn’t matter who takes the doll. Inoue Ue thought about it for a while, gave up thinking, and decided to go back to the room to rest before Miss Sadako finished cooking dinner.

Chapter 62 Miss Mary

Inoue Ueya walked into the room and was about to lie down on the bed to rest when his cell phone suddenly rang.

It's strange. Not many people should know Mr. Inoue's phone number, so why did it suddenly ring at this time?

Looking at the garbled phone number displayed on the phone screen, Inoue Ueya sighed. Could it be that this new phone he had just bought was broken again?

"Mosimoxi?"

"Hello, I'm Mary and I'm at your home now."
