I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

Seeing this, Miss Mary couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Haha, Hanako, you are really bad at playing games."

"Stop talking nonsense! And call me "Sister" instead of "Hanako", understand?"

After saying a few words, Hanako Natsukawa once again focused her attention on the computer screen and ignored the two people beside her. It was obvious that she was completely addicted to it. It seemed that she would become a stay-at-home girl sooner or later.

"Stop playing for now, I have something to say."

"Hey, wait—"

So Inoue Ueya pulled Natsukawa Hanako out of his room and found Miss Sadako, Yasha Yuki and Iwanaga Kotoko.

"Although it's a bit sudden, but..."

Then, Inoue Ue also told the information that Iwanaga Kotoko had found out before, the relationship between the Old Rat Incident, the Ushio-gumi, and the base of Twisted Eye Mountain.

"Because of the safety of that old man and Hanakaiyuan, we need to go to Niuyan Mountain tomorrow."

Hearing this, Hanako Natsukawa perked up.

"Oh wow, it's finally here! The long-awaited battle!"

"Don't get too excited. After all, this is also a kind of training for Hua Kaiyuan. The main purpose is to ensure her safety. Beating the uncle may have to be put on the back burner."

Natsukawa Hanako smiled and responded, "I understand. We still have to fight him in the end, right?"

"Well, anyway, that guy once allowed Old Rat to commit crimes..."

Yashakuyuki beside him nodded, his expression becoming serious.

"Since this is a matter concerning Yuzuka-chan's safety, Sachiko will also participate."

"Tiaoyan Mountain?"

Miss Sadako suddenly remembered something, her face changed and she shook her head.

"Since that's the case, I won't go this time. Your fighting power is already sufficient anyway. I'd better stay home and prepare dinner."

Inoue Ueya's mouth curled up slightly, but he didn't say anything.

He knew very well that the reason Miss Sadako didn't go was not a matter of combat power, but because she particularly hated insects, especially since she would definitely encounter such things when walking in the mountains.

Chapter 84: A Sense of Heaviness

Enter the forest dream again.

As always, Kuin quickly found Inoue Ueya who appeared, just like before.

Maybe she has some kind of perception?

But that doesn't matter.

Inoue Ueya and Kuin sat on the ground and started chatting.

"Hey, Jingye, can you tell me about your world?"

Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Inoue Ueya's eyes. After all, he often saw him suddenly disappear and appear. Was Kuin finally beginning to notice that something was wrong?

"Well, it's not as peaceful as the woods here. There are humans everywhere, and it's noisy and bustling... But it also has other different scenery, like snow, the sea, and so on. Overall, it's a pretty good world, right?"

"Iya, what is snow and the sea?"

Kuin seems to have no memory of the time before she entered the dreamland in the woods, so the real world is a strange place to her now.

"To be honest, they're just like the woods, part of the natural landscape, each with its own charm. For example, when it snows, something white falls from the sky – that's snow. The air gets colder, and everything around us is covered in snow, turning it into a vast expanse of white. People have snowball fights at this time, and in some places, you can even go skiing..."

"Is that so? That's great."

Kuin pondered for a moment and showed an envious expression.

"If possible, Kuin really wants to see this scene with her own eyes..."

Inoue Ueya fell silent for the first time in a long time, because he didn't know how to answer her.

[System, are you there? 】

Inoue Ueya called out to the system in his heart, but received no response.

That's right, he couldn't even contact the system here.

Well, after all, the Book of Shadows is not a simple thing, so it is not difficult to accept that this book has a way to interfere with this broken system.

Now he could only think of this reason to comfort himself.

Anyway, by now, Inoue Ue has almost started to get used to this unreliable broken system, and he is no longer surprised by this situation.

These are not the key points. The problem is that if the system cannot be used in this dream, Inoue Ue will not be able to contract with Kunin.

In other words, he couldn't take Kuin out.

Unlike the incident with Hanako Natsukawa, if Kuin wanted to disappear or become a Buddha, he had no means to make her stay.

He hated deceiving others, whether in his previous life or now. Since he traveled here, he had never told a lie again. Even though he lived like a fool, Inoue Ue never regretted this decision.

Inoue Ueya took a deep breath and smiled warmly, "Well, since I can enter this world, it's not impossible for you to appear in my world, right?"

"Really?" Kuin asked a little confused.

“…There will always be opportunities in the future.”

This was the first time that Inoue Ueya had lied in his life.

……

In the morning, Inoue Ueya woke up from bed.

Looking at Hanako Natsukawa who was sleeping soundly beside him, with the quilt rolled away by her, he couldn't help but show a confused expression.

——Come to think of it, when I was sleeping yesterday, Hanako was still playing games on my computer next to me.

Is this guy so addicted to games that he can't even recognize his own room?

Should I buy her a computer?

No, she's about to become a stay-at-home girl, so it's better not to do that.

So Inoue Ueya shook his head, got up from the bed, looked at the time, and prepared to go out for morning exercise with Yashayuki.

But he didn't notice that when he got up, Natsukawa Hanako's ears had turned red without him noticing.

Hearing the footsteps of Inoue Ueya walking out of his room and the subtle sound of the door closing gently, Natsukawa Hanako finally couldn't help but open her eyes.

"Tsk, that Inoue guy..."

Hanako Natsukawa gritted her teeth, her plan seemed to have completely failed.

Are herbivore boys really that difficult to conquer? He even ignored my sleeping face.

In fact, Hanako-san has been trying to improve her relationship with Inoue Ueya recently, such as playing games and watching anime...

"Wait, isn't this what I do every day?"

Hanako Natsukawa was seen lost in thought. If she thought about it carefully, the real situation seemed to be the opposite. Inoue Ueya seemed to be always by her side recently?

Could it be that that guy is secretly trying to win over me?

"Hmph, too naive! I won't be fooled so easily!"

As a lady, she must maintain her dignity and must not let him succeed so easily!

Then, a blush flashed across Miss Hanako's face.

——Well, if Inoue Ueya confesses to me, I might consider it.

As she thought about it, Hanako Natsukawa grabbed Inoue Ueya's quilt and rolled around on his bed, "Well, that sultry pervert Inoue is really too shameless ah ah ah——"

At this time, Inoue Ueya was still in the bathroom washing up.

Although I have to go to Niuyan Mountain today, but no matter what, daily morning exercise is necessary.

He did feel that his body was slowly getting stronger. After he contracted with Miss Mary last night, Inoue Ue also gradually began to feel that his body was affected by an invisible heaviness.

This is probably the burden brought by the contract?

However, this heaviness did not seem to have much effect on him. This was probably the result of Mr. Inoue's daily exercise.

Maybe, I can try to contract more people?

No, if it is not necessary, it is better not to do anything.

After washing up, Inoue Ueya put this bold idea behind him and walked into the living room.

……

Naked Eye Mountain.

After being informed by his companions staying in Nura's mansion, Ushio knew that Nura Rikuo and his friends were ready to set off for Twisting Eye Mountain.

This was the result of Ushi-oni's secret guidance. I have to say, it's great that Nura Rikuo has a friend who is interested in monster legends.

"Everything is ready. All that's left is to move forward..."

The Nura Clan's headquarters is probably aware of what he has done. This is probably his last chance to make Nura Riku realize his mistake. Ushio will personally attack the future Third Hokage.

Ushiki knew clearly that what he was doing was a betrayal to the Nura clan.

However, the current situation does not allow him to care about so many things. Whether he succeeds or fails, he is ready to commit suicide to apologize.

Chapter 85 This should be released directly into the sea

It was dusk.

Now is the so-called time of the devil.

Well, although the term "the time of the devil" sounds a bit cool, it actually means that it is more likely to encounter strange times.

Except for Miss Sadako, who hates bugs, everyone in the Inoue family has arrived.

Looking at the villa surrounded by huge monsters, Inoue Ue couldn't help but exclaimed, this is not the melancholy old man Niugui, but a giant monster similar to the Niugui described in the legend, with a cow's head and a spider's body.

Then, a huge deer suddenly appeared in the villa and knocked away the huge monsters surrounding the villa.

"Hmm, that should be Hanakaiin's Shikigami. Looks like a fight has already started over there."

How should I put it? I always feel like it would be awkward for a Kamen Rider like me to intervene in this giant creature's battle scene...

However, Den-O also has the means to fight against giant enemies.

Den-Liner possesses equipment to destroy the giant alien demon, such as various artillery weapons and missiles...

Even now, Inoue Ue has activated the Holy Spear form, and the carriage "Thunder" corresponding to this form has been unlocked, and the beam cannon is also available.

If he didn't consider the impact on the surrounding environment, he should be able to easily kill the monsters in front of him.

Even after just thinking about it for a moment, Mr. Inoue felt that using a beam cannon to attack such a passerby-level monster was a bit too much.

A moment later, the giant deer god seemed to have discovered something and turned to look at the villa. The monster outside seized the opportunity and knocked him down.

"Well, is something wrong..."

"Don't worry, Mary will protect Onii-chan well!"

Inoue Ueya and Miss Mary were watching the situation from a distance.

The reason was that the girls in the villa seemed to be taking a bath in the open-air bath, so he was driven out by the girls who were traveling with him. Natsukawa Hanako and the others were secretly protecting Hanakaiin Yuura's safety, so there was no need to worry about any problems.

Just as he finished speaking, a red beam shot out from the villa and directly turned the attacking giant monster into ashes.

At the same time, Crow Tengu appeared in the sky. He should be from the Nura clan. He probably realized that something was wrong and came to Twisted Eye Mountain to look for Ushio and Nura Rikuo after realizing it.

[Hey, hey, the one in the sky might not be an enemy. If they're not hostile, don't attack them.]

"I know, I know. Inoue, you're really becoming more and more talkative!" Hanako replied.

Well, I'm a little worried that Hanako Natsukawa and the others might accidentally hurt someone, but with Kotoko Iwanaga around, it shouldn't be a big deal.

Now that the situation has been decided, there should be no more danger in Huakaiyuan. It's time to find that Niugui uncle and settle the previous score.

"Well, Mary, it's time for us to head to the Ushio-gumi base in Twisting Eye Mountain."
