I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

Just as Inoue Ueya guessed, although the High Speed ​​Granny separated from its original body also possesses extremely powerful strength, once it is destroyed, it will take a long time for it to completely revive, at least ten years or more.

Death is not scary, but for the highway mother-in-law, the price is still a bit heavy.

Unlike monsters whose existence is closer to that of living creatures, both Naya and Grandma Gaoku must regularly gain enough "fear" in order to consolidate their existence.

Just like Sadako is imprisoned in the videotape and Hanako Natsukawa cannot leave the bathroom, the existence of the highway mother-in-law is a restriction for it.

In order to maintain her own existence, Grandma Gaosu had to try to occupy the host's body many times.

The bodies of great monsters like Yuyuko and Nue are strong enough to withstand the erosion of "fear", and their own strength is also impressive. They are the perfect targets for Granny Gaoku.

It was a similar situation with Naya. The highway mother-in-law originally just wanted to seize control of her body. However, it did not expect that the body that could not withstand the erosion would disappear out of thin air along with the flesh.

Although both are urban legends, "High Speed ​​Granny" is far less well-known than Sadako, Hanako and others.

In the battle with Yuyuko, Granny Koukou's true form, the monster named "Naya", completely perished because it could not withstand the erosion of fear. This means that Granny Koukou must find a body as soon as possible to continue creating urban legends in various places to maintain her existence.

For Sadako and others, this level of power is at most a matter of weakening. However, for Granny Gaokuo who has lost her true body, being forgotten is a major crisis concerning survival. Her existence is inseparable from the story of urban legends.

Perhaps one day, as the urban legend of Granny Gaosu is forgotten by humans, the "fear" generated in the hearts of humans will become less and less, until it can no longer maintain its existence. Then Granny Gaosu will disappear out of thin air like Naya and die completely.

Ten years of resurrection time is not a long time, but in this case, the strength of the resurrected Grandma Gaosu will probably be much weaker than before, not to mention that the problem of losing her body has not been solved. This is why Grandma Gaosu is afraid of death.

"Okay, anyway, just follow us back..."

Inoue Ue naturally couldn't hear what Grandma Gaosu was thinking. Seeing it put on a vigilant expression, he could only shake his head. He first talked to the Skeleton Demon God in his mind for a few words, removed the telekinesis exerted on Grandma Gaosu, and then turned and left.

The highway grandma who stayed where she was blinked. The injuries on her body could not be recovered for the time being. She secretly tried to mobilize the strength in her body but to no avail. Then she turned her head and glanced behind her.

"Hey, don't even think about running away. I'll be watching you from behind."

Seeing Yasen standing behind her, Grandma Kou clicked her tongue and had to follow the instructions. She slowly stood up, holding the Namba crutch in her hand, and limped behind Inoue Ueya.

For some reason, Inoue Ue, who was walking in front, felt that they now looked more like villains than the highway mother-in-law.

……

In order to avoid affecting Yuyuko and Kyōgotsu who were in the mansion, "Inoue Ueya" deliberately led Koukou away during the battle. Now looking back, they were already far away from the mansion and it would probably take some distance to get back.

On the way back, Inoue Ue was also thinking about how he should deal with the high-speed mother-in-law.

Inoue Ue really didn't know what Grandma Highway was thinking, but it seemed that it didn't know that Naya had returned from the Desert of Time.

The power of the high-speed mother-in-law is too dangerous, and Inoue Ue is not at ease letting this power continue to reside in Yuyuko's body.

Apart from anything else, although the Kyoto monsters were almost "annihilated" in the previous battle, Yuyuko is still the monster leader of a faction after all. If she possesses such dangerous power, she might cause trouble again.

——Why don’t we just return this guy to Naya?

She probably would be eroded by the "fear" of Grandma Highway once again. If she was sent to the Desert of Time again one day, it would be troublesome if this guy came out and took the opportunity to cause trouble.

This time, I still have the "future vision" of the Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, but I can't say for sure what it will be like next time.

If I make a contract with Naya and let her obtain the identity of the Demon God, the problem of being eroded can probably be solved.

However, the current Grandma Gao has clearly developed an independent consciousness. If I leave it alone, I'm worried that it will run out and cause trouble and hurt people. Sending it back to Naya seems a bit inappropriate...

After thinking for a moment, Inoue Ue couldn't help but sigh, but he still couldn't think of a solution.

The three of them walked in silence for a while and finally returned to the outside of Yuyuko's mansion.

Seeing the mountain shrubs blooming all around the house, Inoue Ue seemed to have guessed something. He said something towards the house, opened the paper door of the mansion and walked in.

What came into view was the usually indifferent Yuyokuro Kitsune. It seemed that her condition had returned to normal. It seemed that the sudden loss of Grandma Gao's combat ability was also related to her.

"I'm finally back. You've kept me waiting for a long time."

Chapter 309 I always feel like I've forgotten something

Inside the mansion, Kuang Gu was lying on Yuyuko's lap. She had her eyes closed and could faintly hear the sound of even breathing, and she looked like she was asleep.

The pressure from the high-speed mother-in-law and the danger involving life and death brought a great mental burden to Kuang Gu. Until she saw Inoue Ueya and the Skeleton Demon God rushing back and taking the enemy away, she knew that the crisis was over. Her tense spirit relaxed and a feeling of fatigue came over her. She fell asleep unknowingly.

"If I'm not mistaken, you have recovered your memory now, right?"

Inoue Ue didn't beat around the bush and directly asked Yuyuko about the situation.

"That's about right. I have to thank you for your assistance this time. Otherwise, I would have been completely devoured by that uncontrollable force by now."

Yuyuko did not hide anything and directly explained her situation to Inoue Ueya.

"Now that I have regained control of this space, that guy has become more obedient after losing his power."

As he spoke, Yuyuko cast a meaningful look at the paper door behind Inoue Ueya. The silver-haired girl, who looked a little embarrassed, did not follow him in. Instead, she stood outside the door with a vigilant look on her face, peeking at the situation inside the house through the hole in the paper door.

Seeing this, Inoue Ueya sighed and said, "I will get the High Speed ​​Granny out of your body, but I can only do that after we return to the real world. I hope you won't attack it."

Inoue Ue was also preparing to take Grandma Kou away.

Although the current Grandma Kou can no longer pose a threat to the Yuyuko who has regained her memory, Inoue Ue does not intend to keep it in Yuyuko's body.

He hasn't figured out what to do with Grandma Gaosu, but letting it continue to stay in Yuyuko's body is obviously not a wise choice. If any accident happens again in the future, it will be a troublesome thing, and he can't always be in time to rescue it.

So, Inoue Ueya briefly explained to Yuyuko the situation of Grandma Koukou.

Yuyokuni pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Since that guy is the enemy you defeated, then I'll leave it to you to deal with..."

"Now that I have recovered my memory, there is nothing for you to do here. Go back quickly."

Although the power given by Grandma Kou is strong, after many master-biting incidents, Yuyuko has long lost interest in this bomb that can get out of control at any time. It is a good thing that Inoue Ue is willing to take over that guy.

The conversation between the two did not last long, and Yuyuko began to urge Inoue Ueya to take Kuang Gu back to the real world.

Inoue Ueya nodded. He didn't have much of a relationship with Yuyuko. Their first encounter was during the Battle of Kyoto, when he had sent her son back to Hell. It was inevitable that they would be a little awkward together...

After knowing that Yuyuko's heart knot seemed to have been untied, he didn't intend to say anything more. He asked the Skeleton Demon God to break the possession state, summoned Arsen back to transform into a trickster again, and then prepared to use his ability to return to the real world.

Seeing this, the old lady outside the house called out to Inoue Ueya.

"Wait, you guys are leaving, what should I do?"

Granny Koukou has no physical body, and her consciousness is temporarily imprisoned in the hall of Yuyuko. Naturally, she cannot return to the real world through Inoue Ueya's method.

Inoue Ueya shrugged and threatened, "There's nothing we can do. Given your situation, we'll have to let Yuyuko take action. Perhaps you can find a way to convince her to spare your life?"

Upon hearing this, Grandma Gaoku turned her gaze towards Yuyokuni with an embarrassed expression. The other party was the target she had attempted to kill not long ago. How could it possibly speak?

Yuyuko looked at Kuanggu with eyes full of reluctance, but she knew that she was just a "shadow" after all, and she couldn't leave Kuanggu in this space.

After all, they exist in two different worlds, so it would be better for them not to meet each other in the future.

Anyway, her real-world counterpart will take care of Kuang Gu on her behalf, so Yuyuko is not worried about her safety.

Kuang Gu has her own story, and as a "shadow", Yuyuko also has her own responsibilities, and there are some things she must face alone.

After watching the three people leave this space for a long time, Yuyuko turned her gaze to the silver-haired girl who seemed to be hesitant to speak. She looked like the resurrected Nue on the outside, but was actually a fake of Grandma Gao on the inside.

"I almost forgot, you should get out of this world too."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuyuko pulled out the three-tailed sword from the tail behind him and slashed towards the high-speed mother-in-law.

"Bukha!"

A scream sounded.

With her power suppressed, Granny Gaosu was like an ordinary person at this moment. She was hit by Yuyuko before she even had time to react. Granny Gaosu first felt a sudden huge force coming at her, and her consciousness flew backwards into the distance. Then a sharp pain that went straight to her soul came, and her consciousness was completely expelled from Yuyuko's palace.

However, Nue's body remained where it was, and the knife wounds on its body healed quickly. It looked up and smiled at Yuyuko.

"In order to accomplish my great cause, please die now, Mother!"

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice reached Yuyuko's ears, but the person in front of her was no longer the child she remembered.

This is the "cognitive existence" that Yuyuko needs to face. It is a product of psychological trauma, similar to the existence of the inner demon, and was later usurped by the high-speed mother-in-law.

After expelling the consciousness of Grandma Gaosu, this guy was completely resurrected.

Yuyuko sneered and tightly grasped the sword in his hand. The confusion in his eyes had long disappeared, as if he had turned back into the big monster who looked down on everyone.

"I can't keep hesitating. It's time to face the facts."

"Qingming, you're right, right?"

……

In Yuyokuni's bedroom, a gray light curtain descended silently.

Inoue Ue also walked out from the light curtain, followed closely by the Skeleton Demon God holding the sleeping Kuang Gu. The three of them returned to the real world from the palace space.

"Tsk tsk, I wasted my time trying to imagine the ability to invade the palace..."

If you think about it carefully, Decade's time and space wall is really a suitable material for situations where you need to travel through space.

"Is it actually possible to do this?..."

Until now, the Skeleton Demon God still feels a little incredible about Inoue Ueya's power. The ability of that strange form has completely exceeded his imagination. He has seen this kind of gray light curtain in the past world. It should be the ability of another Kamen Rider.

Inoue Ue did not explain. To put it simply, this power is the idealistic ability to replace reality through cognition. Although it looks similar to the original, the actual effect is hard to say. At least he believes that the materialized space-time wall cannot travel through time.

"Well, this situation shouldn't be a problem for Kuin. She should have a way to separate the high-speed mother-in-law from Yuyuko's body."

In any case, the problem of Yuyuko has been solved. What he needs to do next is to retrieve Gaosuo Po Po, and then he can go home and rest!

"But I always feel like I've forgotten something important..."

Chapter 310: Can saving someone be considered skipping class?

"Oh, I see. That's why you skipped class yesterday."

In the Kamen Rider club's office, Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her eyes, looking carefully at the book in her hand while talking to Inoue Ueya.

"That's right... Uh, no!"

Inoue Ueya subconsciously pushed his glasses up, a blinding white light reflected from the mirror. He then looked up at Yukinoshita Yukino and said with a stern face, "To be precise, I simply didn't know there was a discrepancy between the flow of time in the palace and the real world."

"Can saving someone be considered skipping class?"

Yukinoshita Yukino was speechless.

The day after the end of the journey to the Feathered Fox Palace, Inoue Ueya finally returned to his daily life.

Inoue Ueya had just returned to the real world from the palace yesterday and found that it was already dusk. His cell phone kept ringing. He saw a bunch of missed calls on his phone, some from Shizuka Hiratsuka, but more were from home. He finally realized that he had forgotten something.

Since Inoue Ueya entered the hall, the contract connection has been temporarily blocked. However, this impact has caused Sadako and the others to be unable to sense Inoue Ueya's condition.

If they hadn't deliberately contacted Inoue Ueya, they wouldn't have noticed anything unusual.

However, Shizuka Hiratsuka could not ignore the existence of Inoue Ueya. When she learned that Inoue Ueya was absent again without asking for leave, she tried to call Inoue Ueya, but his mobile phone number was not reachable. She had to contact the Inoue family to inquire about the situation.

Sadako, who was staying at home, realized something was wrong after receiving a call from Shizuka Hiratsuka. She subconsciously recalled the incident with Kuin and was worried that Inoue Ueya would encounter an accident. She quickly used her ability to find Inoue Ueya's whereabouts. She followed the clues and found the location of Yuyuko's suburban villa. She decisively took everyone in the family and set off.

When they broke into the villa, they naturally met Kidomaru and the surviving Kyoto monsters. Sadako wanted to ask them about the situation, but she didn't expect those monsters to regard them as invaders. The monsters in charge of guarding attacked directly, and the speed was so fast that even Kidomaru couldn't stop them in time.

Well, the fight started right away. To be more precise, the Kyoto monsters were beaten unilaterally.

After returning, Inoue Ueya wanted to use the power of the contract to summon Kuin to the mansion where Yuyuko was, and use her power to separate the high-speed mother-in-law from Yuyuko. Unexpectedly, he sensed that everyone in the family had come here. He walked out of Yuyuko's bedroom and saw that except for Yuyuko and Kuanggu, all the Kyoto monsters in the villa were not spared. The scene was extremely tragic, and many monsters even embedded themselves in the wall.

Fortunately, Sadako and others deliberately held back, so this level of injury would not kill the tenacious monster. Although the misunderstanding between the two sides was "resolved", the Kyoto monster's eyes looking at Inoue Ueya inevitably had a bit more resentment, as if he blamed the incident on him.

In this embarrassing situation, Inoue Ue had no choice but to continue to carry out the plan. It was not known whether it was because Granny Koukou did not resist or Kuin's spell was too powerful, but the process went unexpectedly smoothly, and he successfully sealed Granny Koukou into the Book of Shadows.

With the awakening of Yuyuko, the incident finally came to a temporary end. Inoue Ue could no longer bear the strange atmosphere at the scene and hurriedly left with the girls in his family.

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed and then asked, "So, your injuries were also caused by yesterday's battle? Are these the superficial injuries you mentioned?"

Looking at the bruises on Inoue Ueya's face and the bandage on his left hand, Yukinoshita Yukino's expression suddenly became a little puzzled.

Although Inoue Ueya was injured when we saw him the day before yesterday, he looked relatively intact. I didn't expect that his injury became so serious after not seeing him for just one day.

According to what Inoue Ueya described, he shouldn't have suffered such injuries after returning from that palace space.

"No, the injuries I sustained in yesterday's battle were indeed not serious."

Inoue Ueya shook his head and said solemnly, "Strangely enough, Mr. Inoue fell on his way to school today, then was chased by an untied vicious dog for a long time, and was even hit by a baseball that appeared out of nowhere..."

"In short, it wasn't until I returned to school that my injury became more serious without me noticing."

Although Inoue Ueya's luck was not very good before, it has obviously become worse recently. The only thing that can be attributed to it is his identity as a singularity. However, even he himself does not know how long such bad luck will last.

Listening to Inoue Ueya's description of his experience, Yukinoshita Yukino was silent for a moment, but eventually she couldn't help but complain, "...You are really unlucky."

As she spoke, the second young lady closed the book in her hand and looked up at Inoue Ueya.

"So, what's your purpose in telling me all this all of a sudden?"
