I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

Just as Yukinoshita Yukino said, according to the accident information at hand, the monster suspected to be the highway grandma has already caused harm to some people.

Well, yesterday's accident is an exception. The guy who was racing to compete with the other car and was seriously injured was definitely asking for it. I don't know how the victim survived. Since the monster didn't take the initiative to attack, if we have to say it, it only indirectly caused the victim to be injured. To define the other party's behavior as "harming others", Inoue Ue also feels that it is a bit too much.

If we just let them roam the roads like this, frequently causing traffic accidents is not a good thing. Although no one has died so far and the speeding victims are at most only seriously injured, if this continues, I'm afraid something will happen sooner or later.

"Well, I'll find some time to look for it," Inoue Ueya replied.

Yukinoshita Yukino was silent for a while, then looked up at Inoue Ueya.

"I'm going too this time."

"what?"

After hearing what Yukinoshita Yukino said, Inoue Ue was also a little surprised.

Well, after practicing hard for a while, this second young lady finally couldn't help but want to see the strange existence?

Inoue Ueya thought for a while, shook his head, and rejected Yukinoshita Yukino's request.

"No, I think it's better for you not to go..."

This is not Inoue Ueya's intention to stop Yukinoshita Yukino from interfering with the monsters. If he really had such an intention, he could have stopped her before she learned how to use spiritual power.

The problem lies with the monster that appeared this time. Although we cannot be 100% sure that its true identity is "High Speed ​​Grandma", the monster showed a terrifying movement speed during the accident.

According to the information that Yukinoshita Yukino gave to Inoue Ueya, the monster had the speed to keep up with a modified sports car traveling at around 300 kilometers per hour on foot. This data was only obtained because the victim had a car accident on the way. It is estimated that this speed is not the opponent's limit.

The currently known limit is over 300 kilometers per hour, which has exceeded the speed described in the rumors.

This is not surprising. The abilities of urban legends seem to have the potential to evolve. For example, Sadako at home is an obvious example.

From a ghost sealed in a videotape, she has grown to a semi-omniscient being who can connect to the Internet directly with her body. Inoue Ue also believes that she will continue to grow stronger with the development of technology...

Thinking about it this way, it is not shocking that the highway car has broken the rumored speed limit.

For Inoue Ueya, he was not sure if he could deal with this kind of speed-specialized monster. He had never encountered this type of opponent in many previous battles.

Even if it wasn't "High Speed ​​Granny" herself, the other party must be a very powerful monster. The difference in speed alone made it difficult for Inoue Ue to find the other party's whereabouts.

Moreover, if the situation really requires a fight, Inoue Ue may not be able to react immediately to the opponent's high-speed actions, but he can at least use the defense provided by the transformed state to resist attacks. Den-O's combat power may be the weakest among the knights, but Mr. Inoue, who has never been beaten to cancel his transformed state, is very confident in Den-O's defensive performance. He should be able to barely hold on for a while after being beaten.

However, with the addition of Yukinoshita Yukino, it is hard to say. Inoue Ue doesn't think he can fight against powerful enemies while protecting the safety of the second lady.

After explaining his thoughts to Yukinoshita Yukino, Inoue Ueya shrugged and said, "So let's leave it to Mr. Inoue this time. Don't worry, if you want to come into contact with the supernatural, you will encounter it one day in the future after practicing spiritual power. Kotoko is also looking for a commission suitable for you to carry out..."

"But I refuse!"

Yukinoshita Yukino had a blank expression on her face and stretched out her hands in a crossed position.

"I'm already capable of protecting myself, and as the club leader, how could I possibly let you act alone? In horror stories, those who choose to act alone have the highest mortality rate!"

Inoue Ueya frowned, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Although he had been unable to understand the behavior of the ice snowman since this morning, he was planning to complain about it, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that Miss Yukinoshita would become angry and turn into a riddle man, so he didn't say anything in the end.

Not knowing whether the Oregairu plot in this world is an anime adaptation or the original version of the novel, Inoue Ue did not dare to act rashly.

Well, even though the original plot has gone astray because of his intrusion, the person should still be able to be salvaged.

Let's just give it a try first.

"Are you able to do it? This time it might be really dangerous..." Inoue Ueya sighed.

Yukinoshita Yukino slammed the table suddenly, took off the pair of reflective glasses hanging on her nose again, and her expression suddenly became serious.

"Don't question me!"

Well, you're not going to back down even though you know there's danger?

Yoshi, Mr. Inoue is sure that this second young lady has become completely weird.

"Okay, since you've made up your mind, come with me and take a look..."

Although Inoue Ueya was still a little worried about the difference in strength, the other party seemed to have never hurt humans, so as long as he was careful not to provoke the other party, there should be no danger.

Inoue Ue thought for a moment and continued, "Since we don't have school tomorrow, let's go out and look for that strange creature tomorrow night. Are you satisfied with this?"

Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino's expression gradually relaxed and she nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, it's decided."

……

After saying goodbye to Yukinoshita Yukino, Inoue Ueya walked on the way home with a somewhat confused expression.

"Ah, Mr. Inoue, sometimes I really can't understand women's thoughts. Why did Yukinoshita Yukino suddenly become like a different person?"

【…】

Come to think of it, when Arsen saw Yukinoshita this morning, his reaction was a bit strange...

"Well, Arsen, you're not hiding anything, are you?" Inoue Ueya asked casually.

"Ah? No, no, I can only stay inside you. How can I hide anything from you?"

No, your reaction is already quite intriguing.

"Forget it, let's go home first."

Chapter 154 But I just like sweet food

a few minutes ago.

Secretly watching Inoue Ueya leave the school in the club room, Yukinoshita Yukino nodded secretly and said to herself: "Just like Arsen said before, that guy seems to be really scared by my new outfit..."

Having said that, Yukinoshita Yukino tidied up the club room a bit and prepared to leave the school.

When she thought of the surprised expression that Inoue Ueya showed this morning, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

In fact, it was Arsen who suggested Yukinoshita Yukino wear glasses. She didn't expect that Inoue Ueya couldn't recognize her after the new look.

The source of the incident happened the day before yesterday. When the sleeping Inoue Ueya was possessed by Arsen, Yukinoshita Yukino unexpectedly got along well with her.

Although the future Yukinoshita Yukino has disappeared, the present Yukinoshita has not forgotten what she said. Arsen is a friend she will meet in the future.

Even though her future self had told her not to care about her and to just listen to the story as a fictional story that could already be regarded as something that happened in a parallel world, after all, the current situation was quite different from the original one. She didn't want the current Yukinoshita Yukino to be bound by the story, but hoped that she could find a way to live the way she liked.

But after hearing the story, Yukinoshita Yukino became even more curious about Inoue Ueya.

To be honest, Yukinoshita Yukino now thinks that her relationship with Inoue Ueya can only be called friends, which is far from the level of love, so she plans to try to get to know Inoue Ueya more deeply.

It just so happened that although she didn't know how her future self became friends with Yasen, they finally met by chance the day before yesterday. It was indeed as her future self said, Yasen was a talkative person, and his attitude towards her seemed particularly enthusiastic, as if he had met an idol.

It just happened to be a role that Yukinoshita Yukino was not good at dealing with, and the two of them started talking unknowingly. Yukinoshita heard a lot of interesting things from Arsen's mouth, which made her listen with great interest.

For example, he assisted Iwanaga Kotoko in resolving disputes with monsters and preventing monsters from attacking humans together with the urban legend he had contracted. His birthday, hobbies, and personal habits revealed that he was actually a sultry pervert, which completely changed the steady image of Inoue Ueya in her mind.

Perhaps it was because of Inoue Ueya's recent performance that Yukinoshita Yukino had an illusion, subconsciously thinking of him as a steady and reliable guy?

Come to think of it, Shizuka Hiratsuka originally brought Inoue Ueya to the Service Club because she thought he was a chuunibyou, a gloomy otaku, or something like that.

As for why I'm dressed like this today...

In fact, Yukinoshita Yukino had shown the car accident information she had just taken out to Yasen the day before yesterday, and she had also asked Yasen to go with her.

However, she was rejected outright by Yasen at that time.

After all, Yasen was only temporarily possessed by the sleeping Inoue Ueya. She believed that she was not qualified to make decisions on behalf of Inoue Ueya, so she refused directly.

Instead, Yasen told Yukinoshita some methods that he said could persuade Inoue Ueya, such as changing into a special outfit and then asking him to go with her in a more forceful manner...

However, these were just methods that Arsen casually mentioned. At that time, she was just joking to Yukinoshita Yukino, but she didn't expect that this serious girl would actually believe it and actually do it.

In the morning, Arsen was shocked by her dress, and even when Inoue Ueya asked her about it, she subconsciously changed the subject.

Well, since Yukinoshita Yukino's plan has succeeded, there should be no one who can prove that she was joking now, right?

"By the way, I must go home early and get ready for tomorrow."

Although her tone when speaking to Inoue Ueya just now was a bit strong, Yukinoshita Yukino did not lie.

Yukinoshita Yukino still has some confidence in her own strength. In addition to practicing spiritual power according to the method taught by Hanakaiin Yuura, she has also been led by her future self to undergo various terrible hellish special training.

That’s right, there’s nothing to be afraid of. She is no longer the weak girl she used to be!

……

On the other hand, Inoue Ueya finally returned home.

"I am back."

Although I don't know what the meaning is, ever since Sadako joined the Inoue family, Inoue Ueya always says this sentence every time he returns home according to her request, and Sadako always responds to him, and vice versa. Over time, it has become a habit.

However, Inoue Ueya did not hear Sadako's response as usual today.

"Sadako?"

Inoue Ueya tried to call Sadako's name in a puzzled tone, but unfortunately there was still no response.

"That's strange, did Sadako go out to buy groceries?"

Under normal circumstances, Sadako should not go out at this time.

Suddenly, Natsukawa Hanako's roar came from a distance.

"This is outrageous! Why would you add sugar to freshly fried eggs?"

As he spoke, Inoue Ueya took off his outdoor shoes, changed into indoor slippers, and walked towards the living room with curiosity.

"Well, but I just like sweet things..."

Mary's voice came from the kitchen, but there seemed to be a hint of grievance in her tone.

"Well, no matter how much I like it, the amount you put in, Mary-chan, is too exaggerated, right? A serving of scrambled eggs and half a bottle of sugar, who can stand that..." Iwanaga Kotoko sighed.

???

Wait, are they discussing something scary?

Inoue Ueya, who was standing outside the kitchen, looked extremely frightened. He suddenly stopped moving and retracted his right hand that was on the kitchen door, completely giving up the idea of ​​going into the kitchen to find out what was going on.

Without thinking too much, just by hearing what they just said, Inoue Ueya could guess that they were researching how to make some dark cuisine.

If I walk into the kitchen carelessly now, I will probably be forced to become a food taster.

In short, Mr. Inoue decided to make a temporary tactical retreat and go back to his room to hide for a while.

"Ah, Jingye, you're finally back!"

Before Inoue Ueya could leave the scene, Kuin, who sensed the aura of the Book of Shadows in him, had already walked out of the kitchen and stopped him.

Chapter 155: This is hell ahead

After hearing the girls' explanation, Inoue Ueya nodded.

"I think I know. It turns out that it was Sadako who was teaching you how to cook..."

But Inoue Ueya stood in the kitchen and looked around, but could not find any sign of Miss Sadako.

"Uh, so what happened to Sadako?"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions suddenly turned a little ugly.

"She just tried a bite of the food made by Mary and Kuin out of curiosity. She was fine at first, but after a while, she hurriedly ran into the bathroom..." Iwanaga Kotoko said a little helplessly.

[Eh, this is too scary, right?]

No one expected that there would be such terrible food in this world that could affect monsters. Even the incorporeal Yasen couldn't help but gasp.

A trace of fear flashed across Inoue Ueya's face, fearing that he would become the next victim. His body unconsciously took several steps back. Although he rarely ate food that tasted bad, the food that could cause diarrhea in monsters was definitely not something that an ordinary human like him could endure.

So the question is, according to Sadako's request, others will eat the dinner they made themselves and find ways to improve it.

Miss Sadako probably can't get out of the bathroom for the time being, so what should Mr. Inoue do with his dinner?

The only options left are to cook it yourself or eat the "cooking" they made...
