I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

Hanako Natsukawa was seen talking to herself while picking up various snacks and drinks from the shelves, which made Inoue Ueya stunned for a moment.

"Wait, didn't Mr. Inoue just say he'd buy you some happy water? Why did it suddenly become like this?"

"Huh, do you think a mere bottle of happy water can make up for what you did to me?"

"Don't make things so ambiguous!"

"Hmm, since you don't object, then you agree?"

Having said that, Hanako ignored Inoue Ueya's reaction and turned back to continue choosing the snacks she wanted to buy.

"Alas, there is nothing I can do about you..."

For some reason, Inoue Ue also had a premonition that his wallet was about to bleed heavily.

He was previously hospitalized due to the Book of Shadows incident. As compensation for scaring everyone in his family, Inoue Ueya's pocket money for the past few months was divided up by the girls in the family.

Inoue Ueya's wallet is running low, and Hanako is taking so many things, he doesn't know if his own money is enough...

Well, at worst, you can just not use cash and pay with your mobile phone.

Although the family's money was managed by Sadako, Inoue Ueya was still writing light novels, so he still had some savings.

Sighing, Inoue Ueya reached into his coat pocket, wanting to take out his wallet and take a look.

I checked my pockets, but there was nothing...

"Eh?"

Inoue Ueya frowned and searched all his pockets, but still couldn't find his wallet. Fear began to flash in his eyes.

【Hey, isn't it? 】

Did you lose your wallet at this very moment?

Is this because I was driving too fast just now and that’s why it fell off?

"No, you had already transformed by then, so the things in your pocket shouldn't have been lost at that time."

"Inoue, why are you still standing there in a daze? Come over here and pay!"

When he looked up, he saw Hanako had unknowingly run to the cashier's counter with a bunch of snacks. The clerk looked confused, as if he had no memory of seeing the two people walk in.

"Damn it, could it be that the singularity power in Mr. Inoue's body has started to act up again..."

Calm down, Mr. Inoue can still pay with his mobile phone. In order to prevent this from happening, I have made preparations for both scenarios!

"Humph, I don't believe that a perfectly good phone would have any problems!"

Inoue Ueya took out his mobile phone and looked at it carefully. There was no sign of damage at all, so it seemed safe to use.

"No, why is my phone screen black?"

I pressed the button several times, but the phone screen remained black and nothing changed.

"You forgot to charge it, didn't you stay up very late playing games with Hanako yesterday?" Yasen said.

Inoue Ue also thought about it. He really didn't seem to have the memory of charging his mobile phone yesterday. After playing the game, he fell asleep directly on the bed.

"Hiss, could this be the legendary misfortunes that never come alone?"

Inoue Ueya sighed, wondering if the influence of his luck in this singularity had become more serious?

Chapter 172 Who is she?

Briefly stated, I am Inoue Ueya.

Now I am facing a crisis that I have never experienced before.

Hanako placed the items she had selected on the cashier counter. The clerk had already counted the prices. Then the two of them looked up, waiting for Inoue Ueya to pay...

Unfortunately, Inoue Ueya lost his wallet and his cell phone ran out of battery. Now it was not just a matter of his wallet bleeding money, he didn't even have a way to pay!

Damn it, do I really have to let Mr. Inoue go over and explain with an embarrassed look on his face?

Although I'm almost used to this development, Hanako won't get angry, right?

Ok……

Inoue Ueya sighed and walked towards the cashier to explain his situation.

There's nothing I can do. Although I feel a little sorry for the clerk, there shouldn't be a more straightforward solution than this at this point, right?

Hesitation would lead to failure, especially since his luck seemed to be failing again. Based on past experience, if he continued to try to avoid the incident, it might lead to an even worse situation...

Hanako Natsukawa glanced at the cashier and saw that she was giving them an awkward but polite smile. Although she didn't say anything, she exuded an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Looking back and seeing the change in Inoue Ueya's expression, Hanako Natsukawa gradually developed an ominous premonition in her heart.

[Hey, Inoue, did you forget to bring your money? ]

Hanako's voice sounded from Inoue Ueya's mind, as if she had noticed that something was wrong with him.

Oops, I was noticed first!

Inoue Ueya smiled bitterly and shook his head, suddenly wondering if Hanako had brought any money with her.

[Ahaha, I guess I lost it at some point during the operation. When I tried to use another payment method, I realized my phone was out of battery. Hanako, do you have any money on you?]

Hearing this, Hanako Natsukawa looked up at Inoue Ueya, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose.

[Puff, your luck is really a bit exaggerated...]

Seeing Hanako's calm expression, Inoue Ue knew that he was safe this time.

Although he subconsciously thought that the carefree Hanako would not carry money with her when she went out, the situation seemed to be exactly the opposite of what he thought.

[I really can't do anything about you. I'll just pay this time, and you can save the money you owe for next time and the year after.]

Hanako Natsukawa shook her head, took out a dark red wallet from her pocket, took out a few bills from it and handed it to the clerk.

Inoue Ueya breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with what Hanako said.

"No, why did Mr. Inoue's wallet suddenly bleed twice?!"

……

“Thank you for your patronage!”

Ding dong, ding dong——

As the automatic door of the convenience store opened, the two walked out.

"Phew, that was a close call just now. Mr. Inoue almost got himself into an extremely embarrassing situation. It's really thanks to you, Hanako, that you brought money with you so that you could escape..."

"Well, that's natural. Just remember what I did with gratitude!"

Inoue Ue couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, "I know, I know, let's go home early, Hanako-sama!"

Hanako Natsukawa chuckled, seeming very satisfied with Inoue Ueya's answer.

"But shouldn't we recover that lost wallet? Putting aside the money, if there were any documents in there, getting a replacement would be a real hassle, right?"

Hearing Hanako's question, Inoue Ueya raised the corners of his mouth and raised his index finger and shook it left and right.

"Naive, so naive! Do you think this is the first time Mr. Inoue has lost his wallet?"

Because his wallet was lost every once in a while for various reasons, he had already expected this situation to happen.

Inoue Ueya pulled out his black pass from his pocket and laughed, "You didn't expect that all my documents are here!"

"what?"

The transformation pass granted by the system is, to be more precise, a foldable black box containing a time train ticket. Like the original, it has the special effect of returning to its owner even if lost.

If you think along this line of thought, this thing is one of the few bound items that can ignore the influence of the power of the singularity. Unless someone takes away the documents that Inoue Ueya placed in the pass, the lost pass will still come back with the documents inside!

Well, the space in this pass box is limited, and I can't put many things in it.

"Look, are all your documents in there? The bad luck brought by a mere singularity identity won't stop Mr. Inoue from moving forward!"

I saw Inoue Ueya opening the pass box in front of Hanako, acting as if he had expected this to happen.

Hanako took a closer look and asked with a puzzled look, "What's that? There's clearly nothing in here."

Seeing Hanako's puzzled expression, Inoue Ueya felt a bad feeling in his heart. He turned the box over and saw that the only thing left inside was the box containing the time train ticket. His originally smug expression instantly changed 180 degrees.

"No, no way, this time even the documents in this box are lost?"

At this point, Inoue Ueya finally became a little uneasy. Just as Hanako said, reissuing those certificates usually requires going through various troublesome procedures. Especially as a singularity, Inoue Ueya knew the horror of such things better than anyone else.

"Although I've read the original story before, but when I actually saw it in real life, I felt that your luck was a bit outrageous..." Hanako smiled bitterly and shook her head.

Damn, is this also within the calculation of the power of the singularity?

"When exactly did you lose it? When you untransformed and walked into Zero-Liner with Naya? Or did you lose it right after you left?"

After thinking for a while, Inoue Ueya still had no idea. There were simply too many places where his documents might have been lost.

At this point, he could only hope that the ID was picked up by someone he knew.

After a long silence, Inoue Ue couldn't help but sigh and continued, "Anyway, let's go home first. Then we can find time to ask Kato and Yukinoshita if they found any documents on the train."

Hearing this, Hanako Natsukawa frowned, suddenly stopped walking, reached out from behind and grabbed Inoue Ueya who was walking, and then asked: "Wait, you just said "Naya", right? Who is she?"

Chapter 173 Let Me Go, Idiot

The next day.

"Uchiya, breakfast is ready. It's time to get up, ok?"

After a day of rest, Miss Sadako has fully recovered!

As always, Miss Sadako skillfully opened Inoue Ueya's door and ran in to wake him up.

Sadako looked at Inoue Ueya's sleeping face, and something seemed to come to her mind. A cunning smile appeared on her face. She sat on Inoue Ueya and whispered, "Hehe, if you don't get up, I'm going to kiss you, okay?"

As if feeling the sudden pressure, Inoue Ueya subconsciously frowned.

"Well……"

Then, Inoue Ue, who was half asleep, stretched out his hands unconsciously, pulled Sadako off himself, and held her in his arms like a pillow.

"Let me go, idiot!"

Even a smart person like Sadako could not guess that the sleeping Inoue Ueya would do this. Because she was afraid that he would get hurt, Sadako did not resist but let him pick her up.

"Really, really, it would be so bad if someone misunderstood me..."

Sadako's voice gradually weakened, and her ears turned red unconsciously.

After a while, Inoue Ueya was not woken up after all. Lying in the warm bed, Sadako began to be unable to resist the invasion of sleepiness and gradually closed her eyes.

"Whoosh..."

The sound of even breathing was heard, and it turned out that Sadako fell asleep along with Inoue Ueya.

……

After a long time, Inoue Ueya woke up from the bed. He yawned, and for some reason, a floral fragrance suddenly came into his nostrils. When he looked down, Inoue Ueya saw Miss Sadako lying next to him, and he was stunned.

It's strange, how come Sadako suddenly appeared in Mr. Inoue's bed?

"Hey, hey, wake up quickly."

Sadako slowly opened her eyes and looked at Inoue Ueya in front of her. She tilted her head in confusion, as if she had not yet fully woken up.

"Stop it, let me sleep for five more minutes!"

"Oh, okay, okay, as long as you like it..."

After a moment, Sadako seemed to remember something, suddenly opened her eyes, and a look of shyness appeared on her face.

"Humph, Zhi is also a big idiot!"
