I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

but……

[Is it really okay to just stand by and watch like a scumbag? ]

In this situation, Inoue Ue also recalled the days when he spent time with his grandmother when he was a child.

-

As a child, Inoue Ue became a mildly autistic guy due to the impact of the memories brought by time travel, and he always resisted communicating with other people in his heart...

I feel confused about the past and confused about the future.

At that time, he always lay in the yard of his grandmother's house, looking at the sky silently, because this could help him put the chaos in his mind behind him.

That's when grandma came out.

"Stand up, Ueya!"

"grandmother?"

Bewildered, Inoue Ueya looked at his grandmother in this life, his heart full of confusion.

As if she could see through his feelings, grandma said in a serious tone, "When you feel lost, just keep moving forward."

Hearing this, a familiar feeling inexplicably emerged in Inoue Ueya's mind, and his body trembled unconsciously.

"Because the best way to cut through confusion is to not stand still..."

"Hey, old lady, the car is here." Grandpa's voice came from outside.

Without responding to Grandpa's words, Grandma continued, "That's right, as long as you keep moving forward, as long as you don't stop, the road will continue to extend, so..."

"That's enough, stop talking!" Inoue Ueya couldn't help but interrupt his grandmother.

"Then make a promise with me, don't stop until the very end!"

Looking at his grandmother's determined eyes, Inoue Ueya felt that it was time for him to cheer up.

"Ah, I get it... I'll keep moving forward!"

"It's a deal, huh?"

"It's agreed."

……

What Inoue Ueya wanted to say was that he could not continue to watch the three girls in his family quarreling.

"That's enough, stop arguing!"

Inoue Ueya suddenly stood up and slammed the table hard.

Looking around at the three quiet girls in front of him, he said softly, "Grandma once said that when you feel lost, just keep moving forward."

"I should have said it before, Inoue Ueya never lies."

After a brief pause and a deep breath, Inoue Ueya had already made up his mind. He pointed his thumb at himself, smiled proudly, and shouted, "I, Inoue Ueya, like you all. Whether it's the gentle Sadako, the passionate Sachiko, or the lovely Kotoko, I like them all!"

Upon hearing this, the temperature in the room dropped sharply, and the girls looked at Inoue Ueya with cold eyes.

"Sachiko will never allow her husband to cheat on her, okay?" Yasha Sachi looked at Inoue Ueya with dull eyes.

"What kind of scumbag statement is this..." Iwanaga Kotoko also puffed up her cheeks.

"Inoue Ueya has really gotten bolder... Be prepared to be beaten up by Miss Sadako."

Miss Sadako narrowed her eyes and clenched her hands into fists.

Inoue Ueya looked at the three people in front of him with clear eyes, "Ah, I have realized it a long time ago, just come on."

That's it.

The world where only Mr. Inoue is defeated is finally complete.

Next, the scene was too tragic—

Afterwards, Inoue Ueya, covered in bruises, fell to the ground with his left index finger pointing forward.

At this moment, Inoue Ue seemed to see his grandmother standing in the distance waving to him.

[Grandma, I kept my promise and didn't stop until the very end!]

【Well, that's good.】

As he thought about it, Mr. Inoue closed his eyes peacefully.

……

After making a fuss for a while, the three of them finally calmed down.

"Ahem, back to the topic. I've accepted an incredible commission this time and I need Den-O's help."

Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Inoue Ueya and asked, "Ueya-kun, have you ever heard of the happy Miss Sachiko?"

"What? Isn't Sachiko right here?" Yashayuki patted his chest.

"If you use your brain, you'll know I'm not talking about you, stupid cow!"

Sadako puffed up her cheeks, threw herself on Yashayuki, and touched him all over.

"That's not okay, ahh ...

Yashayuki was caught off guard and was successfully attacked by Miss Sadako again.

This time, Inoue Ueya did not look at the two people's antics with lustful eyes, but fell into deep thought.

"Happy Miss Sachiko"?

In an instant, several impressive keywords flashed through the mind of Inoue Ueya, whose face was bruised and nose was swollen.

God Elementary School, Evil Spirit, Multiple Locked Spaces, Book of Shadows.

If I remember correctly, this seems to be the content of a horror game called "Corpse Party" in my previous life?

The Happy Miss Sachiko is simply a spirit-calling ritual that, if successful, attracts harmless spirits.

On the contrary, people will be dragged into a space called "Tenjin Elementary School", where there are many evil spirits and the like. They may be children who died in that elementary school, or students who were tricked into entering by the ritual. There is also a disorder of time and space, and people who enter together may not necessarily appear in the same space or at the same time.

Although he has forgotten most of the plot, it's probably about the protagonists being dragged into Tenjin Elementary School because they performed the "Happy Miss Sachiko" ritual incorrectly, and then a lot of people died due to various reasons, right?

You might be attacked by evil spirits, or you might become evil due to mental pollution and attack your companions. In short, it is an extremely dangerous place.

Oh, and there's also the Book of Shadows from the sequel, which is also a prop that left a deep impression on Ueya Inoue. It's a sorcery book that records a lot of evil magic, and it seems to have the power to resurrect the dead in Tenjin Elementary School. Inoue-san has seen the live-action movie version, because the Book of Shadows seems to require the dead to be named when resurrecting them, the heroine's command to "revive everyone" results in the dead being resurrected as a large lump of flesh...

The mastermind behind the incident should be Sachiko Shinozaki, or rather Sachiko who further lost her mind due to the influence of the space. As the number of victims at Tenjin Elementary School increased, her spirit and thoughts became more negative and dark, and she possessed the ability to force people to turn evil.

Inoue Ueya nodded and replied, "Well, I've heard a little bit..."

Then, Inoue Ue told all the information he knew, because he had shown similar predictive and foresight abilities before. Iwanaga Kotoko and Sadako had no doubts about what he said, while Yasha Yuki was not very interested in this matter, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"Let's talk about the current situation first." Inoue Ueya asked Iwanaga Kotoko.

"'Happy Miss Sachiko' is a supernatural ritual that's been going viral online lately. It's said that a successful ritual will make participants lifelong friends. But right after the ritual ends, some people vanish... along with their very existence."

Chapter 18 Den-Liner

Iwanaga Kotoko sighed and continued, "The first ones to notice something was amiss were the ghosts and monsters who had been watching nearby. They initially thought they were performing some magical trick and didn't react particularly well to their disappearance. But after a few days… first the people vanished, then they were forgotten by everyone else. It was as if some force had erased their existence."

"I think I understand. Anyway, the most urgent thing now is to eliminate the content of the execution ceremony, right?"

Inoue Ueya turned to look at Miss Sadako and continued, "Sadako, I'll leave this matter to you. First, block all information about 'Happy Miss Sachiko' on the Internet."

Miss Sadako closed her eyes, a blue light flashed across her body, and then she nodded. "Well, it seems that they are just some common websites. They were successfully handled in one go."

[Ding, special mission triggered.]

[Special Mission: Explore Tenjin Elementary School and liberate the imprisoned soul]

【Mission Rewards: Depending on the mission results, rewards from the Kamen Rider Kabuto series will be given】

[Note: Grandma once said that children are humanity's greatest treasures, and the most unforgivable sin in the world is to harm these treasures.]

"..."

Hearing the system prompt, Inoue Ueya frowned. Even the tasks have come out?

"Sadako, please help me search for information again. The keyword is "Tenjin Elementary School."

Although it's not comparable to Earth's library, Miss Sadako's search ability can be used on the Internet, and even confidential content can be retrieved. The content is credible...

A blue light flashed across her body again, and Miss Sadako spoke, "Hmm... Tenjin Elementary School seemed to have been abandoned a long time ago due to the frequent disappearances. Kisaragi Academy was built on the site in its place."

"The second keyword is 'Sachiko'."

"Regarding 'Sachiko', twenty years ago, a child kidnapping occurred at Tenjin Elementary School. The survivor's name was Sachiko Shinozaki."

"Finally, add the keyword 'health teacher whose last name is Shinozaki'."

"Well, Yoshie Shinozaki, the health teacher at Tenjin Elementary School, fell down the stairs accidentally 55 years ago, broke her neck and died instantly. Her daughter Sachiko Shinozaki is also missing..." Miss Sadako frowned, as if she had guessed something.

Inoue Ueya nodded, he basically remembered all the key memories.

Fifty-five years ago, Yoshie Shinozaki was harassed by the principal of Tenjin Elementary School. When she struggled, she was pushed down the stairs by the principal. As a witness at the scene, Sachiko Shinozaki was also silenced by the principal. Her body was thrown into the sealed basement and became a vengeful spirit. She was also the culprit of the child kidnapping case twenty years ago.

—Tsk, if I could use a Den-Liner, Mr. Inoue would have solved this mess in a matter of minutes.

Den-Liner is the time train used by Kamen Rider Den-O. Although Inoue Ueya got this thing when he contracted Miss Sadako, his pass is the ordinary version pass of the original protagonist. It is good to use it as a means of transportation and to bump into monsters, but it cannot travel through time freely.

"...Mr. Inoue is planning to go to Tenjin Elementary School. If left unchecked, the situation could become even more serious."

Hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko frowned slightly and sighed, "I knew you'd think that... Anyway, the content of the ceremony has been blocked. Wait a few days and don't go in for now. I'll find you an assistant."

"Assistant?"

Inoue Ue was also a little confused. Most of the dangers in Tenjin Elementary School were physical damage. If he was in a transformed state, even with the physical fitness of the platform form, he shouldn't encounter any danger, right?

The only one in danger is probably Sachiko Shinozaki, right?

After all, she has the ability to force people to turn evil, and Inoue Ue doesn't know whether this trick will affect the transformed Den-O.

"Well, Den-O's strength alone should be enough, but Ueya-kun is an unlucky combat idiot..."

Kotoko Iwanaga put on a thoughtful expression, but she unconsciously said a fact that made Inoue Ueya sad.

That’s right, Inoue Ue is just an unlucky guy.

For example, in the past few days after signing the contract with Yashakuyuki, Inoue Ueya was often beaten by the shy Miss Sadako, pounced on by the innocent Yashakuyuki, stared at with contempt by the cold Yukinoshita, and collapsed with his mouth open and eyes closed due to exhaustion. Various embarrassing things happened frequently...

Ok?

It is indeed unlucky, but I always feel like something is wrong.

In addition, he himself is not very good at fighting. After all, Den-O can rely on the Demon God to fight. His only advantage may be that after experiencing many setbacks, he has become more resilient, right?

"Shorty, what are you talking about? This kind of thing should not be a problem as long as Miss Sadako is here!" Sadako looked confident.

Putting aside her perfect speaking skills and ability to tell urban legends, she has learned all the fighting methods recorded on the Internet, including various schools of martial arts, as well as more alternative ones like assassination, firearms use, joint techniques, etc. In terms of combat, Miss Sadako can be considered a master.

"No, Sadako cannot be involved in this incident. The power that can turn people evil is too dangerous."

Iwanaga Kotoko shook her head, a serious expression on her face. "If Sadako, who possesses the ability to connect to the internet, is controlled, the threat to Tenjin Elementary School will likely spread to the entire world. The consequences will be disastrous!"

Indeed, Sachiko Shinozaki's abilities must be guarded against.

"Hey, Miss Sadako is quite curious about what's going on inside..."

I don't know when she sat in his arms, but Inoue Ueya still reached out and gently touched Miss Sadako's head.

"Sadako, just stay home this time, okay?"

Inoue Ueya turned his gaze to Yashaku Yuki. As "Yashaku-sama", who is both a god and a monster, she should not be controlled so easily, right?

"So Sachiko, are you coming with me?"

"Of course you can, but when Sachiko sees something like blood, she will immediately become stiff and stand still. Is that okay?" Yashayuki asked hesitantly.

Hearing this, Inoue Ueya shook his head.

No, of course not. After all, this is the Tenjin Elementary School in "Corpse Party". Not to mention the blood, there are corpses everywhere. If Yasha Yuki goes in, he will probably be scared to tears, right?

Now it seems that the two alien demon gods in the family are unable to take the stage.
