I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

However, the Green Ghost still overestimated his own strength. The moment the crutch touched the double swords in his hands, it was shattered into pieces by a huge force. Then, the remaining force did not diminish, and the crutch wrapped in red lightning easily pierced through the Green Ghost's chest.

Clang!

A sound like glass breaking was heard, and the green ghost stood motionless. A terrifying crack appeared in his pierced chest and quickly spread throughout his body. In the next second, a breeze blew, and his body turned into black powder and drifted away in the wind.

The crisis was over, and Hanako Natsukawa breathed a sigh of relief. She came out of Kotoko Iwanaga's body and then looked at the victim's condition.

The victim who was transformed into a blue ghost was freed from the blue ghost's body as the blue ghost's "fear" was completely eliminated. At this time, she was lying in the same place, and the sound of even breathing could be faintly heard. It seemed that she had just fainted and did not seem to be in any danger of life.

Hanako Natsukawa nodded secretly. This was not the first time she had dealt with the monsters created by Jingsai. She had some understanding of this kind of existence transformed from the human body. All she needed to do was to crush the blue ghost, or to crush the layer of "fear" that was forcibly put on and entangled on the victim, defeat the monster and rescue the human inside. That was all. It was similar to what Kuin said. The premise was that the person had not been completely transformed, then it could basically be reversed.

"It's good that everyone is okay. The next step is to wait for Inoue to come back and send these people to the hospital..."

Kotoko Iwanaga, who had just regained control of her body, was originally thinking of going over to check on the victim, but she stopped after taking half a step.

The battle just now was still a bit of a burden for Iwanaga Kotoko. When she was possessed, she also had the physical enhancement bonus brought by Hanako, but the feeling was not so obvious. But when the possession was lifted, she began to feel the condition of her body, just like a guy who hadn't exercised for a long time suddenly did a set of high-intensity exercise movements. The sore muscles all over her body even made this god gasp.

"Hiss, Hanako, couldn't you be a little gentler when you borrowed my body?" Kotoko Iwanaga said dissatisfiedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Hanako and the others heard the whistle of the time train coming from a distance, and Inoue Ueya seemed to have returned.

Chapter 194: Isn’t it just a matter of being thick-skinned? I can do that too!

Hanako Natsukawa crossed her arms, her left foot planted on the guardrail outside the warehouse. She looked at the belated arrival of Ueya Inoue and said with a look of dissatisfaction, "You're so slow! We've already finished the fight, why are you only just coming back now?"

Inoue Ueya glanced at Hanako, sighed unconsciously, and then looked away.

Seeing Inoue Ueya's reaction, Natsukawa Hanako's mouth curled up uncontrollably, and she nodded with satisfaction, "Oh wow, why did you suddenly move your eyes away from me? Are you shy? You really have a crush on me, right?"

"...You're wearing a skirt, after all, so maybe you should pay a little attention to your posture?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Where on earth have you been? Why did you come back so late?"

Although she said this, after hearing what Inoue Ueya said, Hanako still put her feet down unconsciously.

"Hey, if he hadn't been caught and questioned in the hospital, Mr. Inoue could have come back earlier..."

Originally, Inoue Ue was planning to just leave the victim at the door, but he was a little worried that if he did so, the other party would not receive timely treatment, so he carried the other party directly into the hospital without thinking too much.

So the question is, Inoue Ue is not good at explaining the situation and he can't lie. When the people in the hospital asked him questions, he was hesitant, especially when Inoue Ue pointed out that the victim was a woman who had been missing for a long time, and when he was asked how he met the other party, his words became unclear. As he spoke, he seemed to be misunderstood by the people in the hospital as a suspicious person without realizing it. Fortunately, Inoue Ue ran away when he saw that the situation was not good, otherwise Hanako and the others might have to go to the police station to take him home.

After explaining his situation to everyone, Inoue Ueya couldn't help but sigh, "If Kotoko had gone, the situation might have been better, but putting aside other things, you guys don't even know how to use the Den-Liner..."

In fact, the time train produced by the system has an extra layer of safety guarantee. Only the alien demon god that Inoue Ueya has contracted with can control its operation, and it requires the ticket in the pass to start it. However, Inoue Ueya always feels that if they are allowed to operate the time train alone, some major accident might occur. After thinking about it for a while, it is better not to let them mess around for the time being.

"Tsk, who are you looking down on? Isn't that thing controlled like a motorcycle? Do you really think I haven't read the story of Den-O?"

"Oh my, there are a lot more things to pay attention to on a train than on a motorcycle, and you were so scared that you screamed when you rode a motorcycle last time..." Inoue Ueya complained in a low voice.

"It was just an accident. Who told you to speed up so suddenly? This is all your fault!"

Suddenly, Kotoko Iwanaga interrupted their conversation.

"That's enough, Ueya-kun!"

Kotoko Iwanaga, who was standing nearby, watched Inoue Ueya and Hanako "flirting" and her cheeks puffed up unconsciously, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"Your girlfriend is standing right next to you, and you're still openly talking to other girls?"

???

Inoue Ueya was also confused. Aren't he and Hanako like this usually? Why did Kotoko suddenly get angry?

After listening to Iwanaga Kotoko's complaints, Inoue Ue finally understood what they had experienced during this period. When he heard that Hanako actually possessed her body and fought, he was a little amused.

"Kotoko, are you feeling okay?"

Inoue Ue was often possessed, so he clearly understood that possession actually put a lot of pressure on the body.

He hadn't expected that the Namba Cane he had given Kotoko could actually be used in the same way as Hanako. This was beyond his expectations. Because of its indestructible property, Hanako didn't have to be timid and could directly attach the huge "fear" to it to attack. It seemed that the system's rewards were more useful than he had imagined...

"Hmph, that's certainly a problem! My muscles ache all over my body and I can't even walk normally. It would be great if someone was willing to carry me home..." Iwanaga Kotoko said as she looked at Inoue Ueya in front of her.

This was no longer a hint, but an explicit statement. Even a person with a pleasant mind like Inoue Ueya understood it. "I really can't do anything with you, so let Mr. Inoue carry you—"

Before he could finish his words, Hanako Natsukawa, standing next to him, had already picked up Kotoko Iwanaga and said coldly, "Hmph, I'll handle the problems I've created myself. Do you have any objections, Inoue?"

"Ah? Oh..."

It's strange, how could this otaku girl be so proactive in doing such a thing?

Kotoko Iwanaga also looked at Hanako Natsukawa in disbelief, as if she had not expected her to be so proactive. She was completely different from the Hanako she knew.

But after thinking about it for a while, Kotoko Iwanaga vaguely realized that something was wrong. Could it be that Hanako was deliberately preventing her from contacting Ueye-kun?

Come to think of it, Hanako seems to have been sticking to Ueya-kun recently, whether he was playing games or carrying out commissions. In Iwanaga Kotoko's memory, Hanako really seemed to be the girl who appeared most often next to Inoue Ueya, not even Sadako could compare...

That should be right. Hanako even tried to seduce Ueye-kun not long ago. So, is she going to start her offensive against Ueye-kun as well?

Kotoko Iwanaga subconsciously gritted her teeth. She had made Hanako Natsukawa a contract partner of Ueya Inoue because she knew that she was not interested in love. Why did it turn out like this now?

I have lost many opportunities to contact Inoue Ueya because of handling commissions, and I must not let Hanako's evil plan succeed!

——Isn’t it just being a little thick-skinned? I can do that too!

"I don't want it! Hanako, your back is too soft. It's not as comfortable as the hard feeling on Ueya-kun! I want Ueya-kun to carry me!"

Facing Iwanaga Kotoko's reaction, Hanako said in surprise: "Why did you suddenly start speeding? Unfortunately, Inoue has already walked into the warehouse..."

In fact, Hanako Natsukawa did not think about so many things as Kotoko Iwanaga imagined. In many things, she just followed her own heart. Including when she saw Inoue Ueya wanting to carry Kotoko Iwanaga on his back just now, she didn't know why. She inexplicably felt uncomfortable in her heart, and her body took action unconsciously.

Chapter 195: The God of the Inoue Family Has Already Seen Through Everything

Inoue Ueya walked into the rented warehouse of the Hyaku Monogatari Group. He saw about a dozen women lying on the ground and could faintly hear their breathing.

"Kuin, are they okay?"

Hearing this, Kuin nodded.

"Well, the person abducted here doesn't seem to be in as serious a condition as the woman we rescued from the red ghost's body before. She was just affected by some spell and fell into a short coma."

Unlike the red demon, the people locked up in the warehouse seemed to be ordinary humans who had not been transformed. Even the girls who were rescued by Natsukawa Hanako and the others after they defeated the blue demon did not suffer much damage from the battle.

Firstly, according to Hanako, this was not the first time she encountered the monsters created by the Hyakumonogatari Group. She had experience in dealing with similar situations and would naturally control the strength. Secondly, the red ghost was first hit by Kuin's ultimate move, and then the original clay figure that appeared was smashed several times by physical force. It was a miracle that they were able to successfully rescue the person. It seemed natural that the other party was in a relatively poor condition.

"Well, since we've already given the Hyakumonogatari group a warning through the clay figurines, I guess they won't dare to act rashly for the time being. We can probably leave the rest of the work to the police. Besides..."

After all, there are more than one or two people in front of them, and it doesn't seem wise to let Inoue Ueya take them directly to the hospital. They have been missing for a while, and if they suddenly appear, it will be troublesome if someone notices their presence. Although Inoue Ueya can also ask Sadako to dispose of the records of their whereabouts, there is no need to do so now, so there is no need to do so.

……

Standing in the distance, they saw the police arrive. No one from the Hyaku Monogatari group showed up to cause trouble, so Inoue Ueya and the others just went home.

Inoue Ueya opened the door of the Inoue family as usual, walked in, and said, "We are back!"

Sadako, still in her pajamas, ran out to greet everyone at the entrance. She said in dissatisfaction, "You're so slow! Didn't you say you were just handling an ordinary commission? Why are you coming home so late?"

"Ahaha, sorry for making you worry. We came back a little late because we needed to rescue the people who were kidnapped by the monster..."

Inoue Ueya smiled bitterly and briefly explained their situation to Sadako.

"Well, I'm glad you're not hurt. Stupid Ueya, come here!"

As she spoke, Sadako took Inoue Ueya's hand, ignored the other girls present, dragged him directly into her room, and then slammed the door shut.

"Ah! Damn it, Sadako got there first again today!"

Hanako Natsukawa gritted her teeth, regretting her decision so much. Why was her reaction so slow? Was she going to play solo again today?

Seeing this, Iwanaga Kotoko shrugged and said, "Well, I'd better go take a hot bath first, then go back to the room and rest for a while..."

She didn't really care about Sadako's behavior. It was the same as usual anyway. It was impossible for Inoue Ueya, a sultry otaku, to take the initiative to do anything to Sadako. Although Sadako often boldly launched an offensive against him, she was actually more like a shy little girl in her heart, and she would often back down at the last moment.

Although nothing was said, the god of the Inoue family had already seen through everything.

Compared to this, after being possessed by Hanako for a while today, she is now a little tired, so it would be better to rest as soon as possible.

"Wow, at this point, Pretty Cure is almost over!" Kuin lamented.

……

Sadako locked the door and then threw Inoue Ueya to the ground without saying a word.

"Um, Sadako, what happened to you?"

"Sniff sniff..." Without responding to Inoue Ueya's question, Sadako pressed her whole body against him, her nose twitching slightly.

"Stupid Sukiya! Why do you smell like a strange woman's perfume? Do you have anything else to explain? Did you offend some girl again?"

Although Sadako still had a smile on her face at this time, strange black smoke began to emerge from behind her, making Inoue Ueya feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"S-perfume?"

Wait, why was Mr. Inoue intimidated by Sadako's aura?

This is unreasonable. I haven't done anything wrong at all, so why do I suddenly become a coward without realizing it?

As for perfume, the girls in my family don’t have the habit of using this kind of thing. Maybe I accidentally smelled it when I moved the victim into the hospital?

"Hey! Stop distracting yourself and explain it to me quickly!"

Seeing that Inoue Ueya was still not answering her question, Sadako stretched out her little hand and pinched the soft flesh on his waist. The sudden pain made Inoue Ueya give up thinking completely.

"It hurts, it hurts, please, please be merciful!"

So, under Sadako's "torture" which looked like flirting to others, Inoue Ue finally told her in detail about the Hyaku Monogatari Group.

……

"What? So it's just like that, right? Why don't you just say it directly..."

After learning the whole story, Sadako finally nodded. It didn't matter what the Hyaku Monogatari group did, as long as Inoue Ue didn't go out to meet other girls.

"Mr. Inoue didn't even have the chance to explain himself clearly. You could have caught me before that!" Inoue Ueya said dissatisfiedly.

"Humph, I don't care. This is obviously your negligence!"

Although Inoue Ueya had explained the situation, Sadako was still lying on top of him, and seemed to have no intention of letting him go.

"Well, Lady Sadako? Can I get up now?"

"No, don't even think about leaving the room until my scent covers the scent of your perfume."

"Is it really necessary to do this? Wouldn't it be possible to get rid of the perfume smell if I changed my clothes?" Inoue Ue was a little confused.

Sadako ignored Inoue Ueya's question and began to talk to herself: "Hmm, speaking of which, someone asked me to find the whereabouts of "High-speed Granny" before. Miss Sadako has found it. Don't you want to know the answer?"

Hearing this, Inoue Ueya remained silent for a while, but finally decided to succumb to the "female devil" before him. He took a deep breath and responded, "As if I hadn't said anything just now, please lie on Mr. Inoue's body as you please, Sadako-sama. I am your pillow. Are you satisfied with this?"

Chapter 196 Is This Synchronicity?

Late at night, after being tormented for a long time, Inoue Ue finally escaped from Sadako's clutches and fled back to his room.

"Hey, high-speed mother-in-law?"

To be honest, Inoue Ue also talked with everyone recently about the phenomenon that happened to Naya. The conclusion was that Naya's situation was similar to the situation encountered by Yu Zhang and the cadres of Shikoku 88 Demons Night Parade, but there were some differences.

According to Sadako, although the "fear" in urban legends is also a complex and unclear "fear", overall it is the same as normal "fear", mainly composed of emotions such as fear and awe.

Even for someone like Naya who became an urban legend, being replaced by an "imaginary existence" would not happen under normal circumstances. The current situation is probably because she uses the identity of "High-speed Grandma" too frequently. The original consequence of a little bit of tiny influence over time is that her own existence has gradually begun to be covered by the fictional one. The situation is not as serious as imagined. On the contrary, the actual situation of Yuzhang's group is much more serious than hers. Within less than a month of debut, their bodies are about to change. The deteriorated "fear" is no joke.

Naya, or "High-Speed ​​Grandma", the old loli woman whose true identity is often forgotten, finally appears again, but the place where she appears this time is a bit special.

"Kyoto, it's Kyoto again. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but recently people and monsters all seem to want to go to Kyoto at the same time. Is this what they call synchronicity?"

It wasn't just Naya. After hearing the information about the Kyoto monsters, Hanakaiin Yuura didn't think much about it. After returning home, she directly contacted the Onmyoji at the headquarters and asked them to be on high alert. However, except for a small number of people who had a good relationship with her, most of the Onmyoji didn't seem to believe her information.

After all, Kyoto is still peaceful now. Although the sealing barrier set up by the ancestors in Kyoto has begun to weaken, this is nothing new. There have been such signs more than ten years ago. However, not many people believe her when she suddenly tells them that the Kyoto monsters in the past are preparing to attack the barrier. It was information about Kyoto monsters that Hanakaiin Yuura, who is in Chiba, heard from somewhere. The credibility of the information is a problem, and so is her age. Although Hanakaiin Yuura is a direct descendant of the family and her talent in Yin-Yang Shift is high, she is only a junior high school student now. It is impossible to take what she says seriously.

Another point is that she subconsciously concealed the existence of Inoue Ueya and others in terms of intelligence. After all, the urban legends staying in the Inoue family are still like monsters in the eyes of the Onmyoji. Speaking them out casually may cause Inoue Ueya to get into trouble, which indirectly led to the information she said being vague. In the end, the Onmyoji at the headquarters regarded this information as a joke and did not believe it seriously.

As a result, Hanakaiin Yuura really couldn't think of any other way to explain it. If she continued like this, something would probably happen at the headquarters sooner or later, so she planned to go back to Kyoto and have a serious talk with them again. She came to say goodbye to Inoue Ueya and others last night, saying that she would leave Chiba temporarily.

"Well, shouldn't we go to Kyoto earlier?"
