I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

Chapter 19: Mr. Inoue's Emotional Intelligence

As for Iwanaga Kotoko, Inoue Ue had no intention of letting her take this risk from the beginning. Although she was called the "God of Wisdom" by monsters and monsters, her body was no different from that of an ordinary person.

So the question is, the supernatural ritual of "Happy Sachiko" requires the participation of at least two people, so he alone cannot use the ritual to enter Tenjin Elementary School?

"And one more thing……"

Iwanaga Kotoko frowned, as if pondering something. "That's the 'Multiple Locked Space' you were talking about, right? If I'm not mistaken, Tenjin Elementary School is a place of time and space distortion. Before defeating the ruler of that space, Ueya shouldn't be able to use the Den-Liner inside, and he shouldn't even be able to contact the Demon God outside Tenjin Elementary School."

Although Iwanaga Kotoko knew that she had a Den-Liner, she still used the original setting to make her guess...

It’s not a big problem. Mr. Inoue’s train is also produced by the system after all!

[System, can my Den-Liner be used inside Tenshin Elementary School?]

[Ding, insufficient information, please explore on your own.]

【…】

Very good, Mr. Inoue no longer wants to complain about this system.

"Anyway, Ueya-kun, please wait a little longer. I will help you find a suitable assistant."

Unable to think of any other solution, Inoue Ue had no choice but to nod to Iwanaga Kotoko to indicate that he understood.

"Well, let's just leave this matter as it is. Now let's talk about Ueya-kun."

"Eh?"

Inoue Ueya had a bad feeling in his heart.

"I heard that you seemed to be getting along with a girl at school while I was away?"

Iwanaga Kotoko nodded slightly, narrowed her eyes, and continued, "Can you tell me more about this... Ueya-kun?"

In fact, Iwanaga Kotoko is also a student of Sobu High School, but she has to be absent frequently because she receives commissions from monsters.

At this moment, Miss Sadako and Yasha Yuki also reacted, and the girls looked at Inoue Ueya with cold eyes again.

Yashayuki looked at Inoue Ueya with dull eyes, "My husband met with her today..."

"Come to think of it, I accidentally forgot about this matter yesterday. Can you explain it to me?"

Oh shit, it's over.

——No, it’s precisely at times like this that you need to calm down, Inoue Ueya.

You can't say anything strange, you can't say anything that will cause them to misunderstand, otherwise you will die, you will definitely die.

Inoue Ueya pushed his tacky glasses up, sighed, and slowly said, "For some reason, I want to start a club, and I made a bet with my teacher. The bet is that if I stay in a certain club for a month, she will allow me to start one."

"So what? Why are you, Ueya, alone in the classroom with that girl?" Miss Sadako stared at Inoue Ueya fiercely.

"Uh, because that classroom is the club's activity room?"

Noticing Miss Sadako's gaze, Inoue Ueya subconsciously turned his head to the other side, but Iwanaga Kotoko was still there.

"Just tell me, what kind of club is this?"

"..."

Inoue Ueya lowered his head and thought for a while without answering.

Looking at the silent Inoue Ueya, Iwanaga Kotoko leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Hey, are you praying?"

"Servant Department."

"Service Department?"

Iwanaga Kotoko reached out and lifted Inoue Ueya's chin, her purple eyes narrowing slightly. "Listen, I don't care about the so-called Service Club or anything like that, but Ueya-kun can only serve Iwanaga Kotoko in this life. Do you understand?"

"My lovely girlfriend just came back from going out. It's okay for her to just...look after me alone, okay?"

Iwanaga Kotoko's face was getting closer and closer, and Inoue Ueya could even feel the warm breath she exhaled. Her pupils were flashing a strange purple color, and she ignored the two urban legends around her. Now it seemed that there was only Inoue Ueya in her eyes.

At this time, Miss Sadako pulled Iwanaga Kotoko away and stood in front of Inoue Ueya.

"Shorty, I've told you before! Ueya belongs entirely to Miss Sadako, including the [beep] part of her service!"

——No, so what exactly does that [beep——] service mean?

"It seems you have made up your mind to snatch me away?"

Iwanaga Kotoko smiled confidently, waved her cane, and whispered, "What I have in my hand is a token of love that Ueye-kun gave me. Do you have one?"

The thing Iwanaga Kotoko is holding is the Namba Cane that Mr. Inoue got from the weekly mission.

According to the system description, as long as you don't break your knee, this crutch will never break...

Previously, Inoue Ue was worried that something might happen to Iwanaga Kotoko's cane during the battle, so he gave her one. Unexpectedly, she took it as a token of love.

No, no, no, the key point is who would give something like this as a token of love?

This is simply an insult to Mr. Inoue's emotional intelligence!

Seriously, as a token of love, you should at least give a game disc. A cane or something like that isn't romantic at all...

"Hey, is this all you have?"

Miss Sadako pushed up her nonexistent glasses, took out her phone, and whispered, "Miss Sadako has a sleeping photo of Ueya. Do you have one?"

"Nani?"

Yashayuki's eyes widened in disbelief. She looked up at Iwanaga Kotoko on her left, then at Sadako on her right, then back at herself, who had nothing. So, had someone gotten there first again?!

"Tsk... You actually got there first."

It was like a bolt from the blue, and Iwanaga Kotoko showed a frustrated expression.

"No, I want to stay here tonight too... No, from today on, I'm moving in here. Please give me your guidance!"

"Eh eh eh?"

Miss Sadako and Yashayuki were also scared. Another one?

Inoue Ue didn't react much. There was an empty room in the house anyway, and it wasn't the first time that Iwanaga Kotoko had stayed overnight.

"Whatever, I don't mind this kind of thing."

Thus, the Inoue family had another member.

……

After dinner, Inoue Ueya took a cold shower, then lay on the sofa and watched the variety show on TV.

As I looked at it, my eyes closed unconsciously.

"Hoo, hoo..." Mr. Inoue fell asleep.

Miss Sadako had just walked out of the kitchen and saw Inoue Ueya sleeping, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Really? You'll catch a cold like this, stupid Shiye."

Smiling unconsciously, Miss Sadako gently covered Inoue Ueya with a blanket, then squatted beside him, quietly looking at Inoue Ueya's face.

Several years have passed since I escaped from the sealed videotape and first saw this unreliable boy.

Well, although this idiot has attracted a lot of girls without realizing it, but...

——As expected, Miss Sadako still likes Inoue Ueya the most.

It's so nice to be able to stay by his side all the time.

"Well……"

At this moment, Inoue Ue seemed to have dreamed of something, and his brows unconsciously frowned, "Speaking of fried rice..."

Here we go again, Ueya’s dream talking. Is today’s content about cooking?

This is one of Ms. Sadako's ecological observations of Inoue Ueya. Mr. Inoue would occasionally talk in his sleep in a coherent manner.

"Fried rice must be made with leftover rice, so that it won't stick to the pan..."

Miss Sadako looked at Inoue Ueya's face and fell into deep thought.

Come to think of it, she hadn't succeeded in kissing Zhiye that day.

The other two aren't here either, so why not take this opportunity...

Miss Sadako shook her head and turned her face away.

This kind of thing would only make sense if both of them were awake.

"I really can't do anything about you, Miss Sadako, just bear with it for a while... Don't make me wait too long, stupid Shiye."

Chapter 20: So What If I'm Old

The next day.

Hiratsuka Shizuka sat on a chair and looked at Inoue Ueya with a teasing smile.

"So? What happened between you and Yukinoshita Yukino?"

"what?"

Inoue Ueya frowned and sat silently opposite Hiratsuka Shizuka, sweat slowly dripping from his forehead.

Who am I? Where am I? Why would Shizuka Hiratsuka ask such questions?

"Why are you pretending? Aren't you two dating?"

"Dating?"

Inoue Ue also thought about what happened yesterday. Although Hiratsuka Shizuka ran away directly at that time, when she broke into the Service Club classroom, she saw the two of them hugging each other, so she misunderstood that she was dating Yukinoshita Yukino.

"No, how should I put it? I think Xiaojing must have misunderstood something."

To be honest, Inoue Ueya still feels that there are some communication difficulties between him and Yukinoshita Yukino. For example, if he casually talks to her, he will be treated with venom, or be mistaken for a mental patient or something...

"Besides, I've only known her for a few days. How could we suddenly start dating?" Inoue Ueya shrugged.

"From what I see, your relationship is pretty good. You've even let her down and chat with you."

Inoue Ue also had a headache. He no longer wanted to provoke other girls.

In short, this time we must not be misunderstood by anyone, especially Jing Keai. If she makes any assists due to misunderstanding, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Now it's time for Mr. Inoue to show off his real flag-removing skills.

Inoue Ueya pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said seriously: "But I don't think so. Mr. Inoue thinks he is not worthy of a girl like Yukinoshita Yukino..."

"Why? It's a rare opportunity to meet a cute girl, so why not try harder?"

Inoue Ueya smiled. "You should have heard it when you were standing outside the door that day, right? Mr. Inoue and she have different ideas. It would be bad if she lost her way because of me."

Shizuka Hiratsuka frowned slightly. Is this guy usually so serious?

——Something’s wrong, something’s wrong!

"Let's not talk about whether you're worthy or not, yesterday in the service department..."

Inoue Ueya thought about it for a while and felt that if he took this opportunity to explain it carefully, Jing Keai would probably not have any misunderstandings anymore.

"Actually, this is just an accident. Xiaojing, don't let your imagination run wild... Really, you're almost thirty years old, and you're still like this, puff——"

A heavy punch was thrown and Inoue Ueya fell down again.

Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at Inoue Ueya seriously, "Listen carefully, a woman's age is a taboo, okay?"

"..."

"Anyway, let's talk seriously about Yukinoshita."

Inoue Ueya lowered his head and said softly, "What does age matter..."

"what?"

Inoue Ueya suddenly stood up from the floor and shouted, "I say, so what if I'm old--!!"

At this time, Yukinoshita Yukino, who was standing outside the door, vaguely heard Inoue Ueya's strange remarks, showed a disgusted expression, and decided not to go in for the time being.
