I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

"The red button...is this it?"

"Inoue Ueya" pressed the red button on his belt, and an inexplicably beautiful background music sounded.

"What is this? It sounds unexpectedly good."

The girl in red acted with an interested look, and she waved her little hand, and then the big guy next to her started walking towards "Inoue Ueya".

「Don’t listen, that guy is coming soon, put the pass on the sensor on your belt and transform!」

"I'm so annoyed, so annoyed, just shut up!" "Inoue Ueya" picked up the pass and scanned it towards the sensor on his belt.

"Transform!"

【Sword Form】

As soon as he finished speaking, a red light flashed, and "Inoue Ueya" first turned into a platform form, and then red armor accessories appeared and attached to his body.

With the sound of the train whistle——

Kamen Rider Den-O. Holy Sword Mode, officially debuts!!

"Inoue Ueya" pointed at himself with his thumb raised, then leaned forward slightly, spread his legs, spread his fingers, extended his left hand forward, and raised his right hand straight up along his shoulder.

"Lady, come on stage!"

"How about it, pretty cool, right?" Hanako asked in a proud tone.

[He's quite handsome indeed, but I'm a bit of a jerk...]

"Huh? Because I am who I am—"

Inoue Ueya dodged the large man's attack by moving to the left, then pulled out the weapon components on both sides of his waist and assembled them into a long sword...

"Come, let's fight each other, fellow humans..."

[Be careful. If I remember correctly, this guy is Yanagibori Yoshio, the son of that scumbag principal. He's one of the more powerful evil spirits here.]

With that, Inoue Ueya rushed forward, slashing wildly with his sword, leaving bloody marks on Yanagibori Yoshio's body and forcing him to retreat. "Hey, hey, hey, this is not a fight, okay?"

"Ahhhh-"

With a roar, Yanagibori Yoshio took out a big hammer from somewhere and smashed it hard on Inoue Ueya's head, trying to kill him with one blow.

"Just in time!"

"Inoue Ueya" once again took the pass and scanned it towards the sensor on his belt, then threw the pass away casually, and a red electric current flashed across his body.

【Full Charge】

“Rider Kick——”

Facing the oncoming sledgehammer, "Inoue Ueya" did not dodge or evade. He raised his right foot wrapped in red electric current and kicked sideways. A huge force was transmitted to Yanagibori Yoshio, kicking him directly out.

"……That's it?"

[Hey, why is the special move for Holy Sword Mode Knight Kick...?]

"Stop talking nonsense. In the situation just now, the knight kick was more effective, right?"

Although the body of Yanagibori Yoshio, who had transformed into a vengeful spirit, was far superior to that of an ordinary person, it was inevitably shattered after being kicked by Den-O with all his strength.

His gaze shifted from the gradually fading mosaic on the floor to the girl in red on the other side. No, she should be called Sachiko Shinozaki. "Inoue Ueya" pointed his index finger at Sachiko Shinozaki, "Sachiko Shinozaki, right? Next, it's your turn..."

Shinozaki Sachiko looked at the disappearing Yanagibori Yoshio, her face darkened, and she revealed a ferocious smile, "Interesting."

As she said this, she walked towards "Inoue Ueya".

Inoue Ueya said in a cocky tone, "Oh wow... you're actually walking towards me? You didn't run away, but chose to approach me, Den-o?"

Chapter 27: Sachiko Shinozaki, Escapes

Although he said this, "Inoue Ueya" has actually always been wary of Shinozaki Sachiko and the blackened Nakajima Naomi. This is why he used his ultimate move to quickly defeat Yanagibori Yoshio when he just faced him.

After all, Sachiko Shinozaki is the strongest vengeful spirit here, and there are two living people in the toilet. If they are not careful when facing Yoshio Yanagibori, the two girls might encounter an accident.

"Come on, do you want to continue fighting each other?"

"Hanako, if possible, try to scare her off first... Mr. Inoue's purpose in coming here is not just to exorcise ghosts."

"I do not want."

【ha? 】

"It's a rare opportunity to face a strong enemy, I won't let her go easily!"

"Watch this!" "Inoue Ueya" raised the assembled long sword in his hand and slashed towards the approaching Shinozaki Sachiko.

The knife missed and Sachiko Shinozaki disappeared before his eyes.

"Nani?"

[Hmm, this should be a ghost-like flash ability. Be careful not to get ambushed.]

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Suddenly, a strange laugh came from behind "Inoue Ueya". Sachiko Shinozaki, who was surrounded by black air, grinned grimly, holding a pair of scissors in her hand, and stabbed at the back of his head. Strong murderous intent and resentment instantly burst out from her body.

"Humph……"

By slightly tilting his body, "Inoue Ueya" dodged the sneak attack from behind, then raised his sword and swung it back.

Seeing that the sneak attack failed, Sachiko Shinozaki stepped back to avoid the counterattack of "Inoue Ueya", but her face became more and more ugly.

Inoue Ueya turned to look at Shinozaki Sachiko, waved at her, and said in a provocative tone, "Is that all you've got? This isn't even a warm-up, is it?"

Shinozaki Sachiko frowned and said in a hoarse voice: "Why...why can't my ability affect you?"

In fact, in addition to using teleportation, Sachiko Shinozaki also used the ability of resentment, which is the blackening ability mentioned by Inoue Ueya. After all, Yanagibori Yoshio disappeared, and she needed a new assistant, so she turned her attention to the powerful "Inoue Ueya".

However, her dark power had no effect on Inoue Ueya, causing her sneak attack to fail completely...

Inoue Ueya scoffed, "Ha, is this some kind of joke? I'm not like the weak vengeful spirit you've locked up here. Using the power of an evil spirit against an evil spirit, what do you expect to achieve?"

[Evil spirit?]

"Look here, this power I've gained through years of fighting with my own kind, monsters, and slaying powerful enemies is a true evil spirit. It's not something you, who grow stronger by killing innocent victims, can compare to."

As the words fell, crimson energy emanated from Inoue Ueya's body, spreading outward in all directions...

There was no impurity such as malice and resentment. At this moment, Sachiko Shinozaki only felt that "Inoue Ueya" in the armor was staring at her, and the other party emitted a pure and extremely powerful murderous intent.

"You, what on earth are you..."

Faced with such strong malice, even Sachiko Shinozaki couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Inoue Ueya was silent for a moment, then replied, "He was just a Kamen Rider passing by. You don't need to remember him...you'll be gone soon anyway."

Terrible, so terrible!!

Looking at "Inoue Ueya" in front of her, Sachiko Shinozaki felt an inexplicable sense of fear in her heart.

That's right, the guy in front of her reminded her of the long-forgotten fear.

Looking at the armored man in front of her, alarm bells rang in Sachiko Shinozaki's heart, and fear quickly took over her heart. Sachiko Shinozaki finally recalled the scene of witnessing her mother's accidental death that day, and the process of the principal silencing her in order to escape punishment.

If you continue like this, you will die.

——Run away, you must run away!!

"what……"

However, Sachiko Shinozaki's body was shaking uncontrollably, she was completely unable to move, and stood stiffly in place.

"Oh wow, are you finally scared?"

Inoue Ueya took advantage of Shinozaki Sachiko's distraction to pick up the pass and shook it slightly in his hand. "But it's too late now."

【Full Charge】

Raising the assembled longsword wrapped in red electricity and pointing the blade at Shinozaki Sachiko, "Inoue Ueya" shouted loudly: "Watch out, this is my ultimate move..."

[This is really not possible. Sachiko Shinozaki cannot leave the stage now.]

"Hey, hey, don't get in the way, this is the main event!"

I said no!

"whispering sound……"

"Inoue Ueya"'s hands holding the assembled longsword stopped uncontrollably.

whoosh-

The blade of the assembled longsword separated from the longsword and shot towards the dazed Sachiko Shinozaki like a red flash. However, due to the interference of Ueya Inoue, the blade deviated from its original trajectory and passed by Sachiko Shinozaki at lightning speed. The violent energy on the blade passed through and left a scar on her cheek.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

The slight pain aroused Sachiko Shinozaki's desire to survive. She screamed and then turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared.

Sachiko Shinozaki fled in panic.

"Inoue Ueya" pulled off his belt, and his armor turned into red light and dissipated, leaving only Natsukawa Hanako and Inoue Ueya.

An angry Hanako Natsukawa grabbed Inoue Ueya by the collar and demanded, "Asshole... you could have just killed her, why did you deliberately let her go?"

This is simply unreasonable. Hanako Natsukawa cannot understand Inoue Ueya's behavior. Isn't the purpose of the two of them coming here to resolve this incident?

Inoue Ueya shook his head and explained, "Although the incident at Tenjin Elementary School was caused by Shinozaki Sachiko, defeating her might temporarily disable the space, but it wouldn't be enough to completely disintegrate it..."

Releasing Hanako's hands, he continued, "Mr. Inoue suddenly thought of a way. Do you remember the previous explanation of the "Divine Demon God's" ability?"

Xiachuan Hanako frowned slightly, "You mean..."

"Hmm, my head hurts...where is this?"

Naomi Nakajima half-knelt on the ground, holding her forehead with her hands, and seemed to have regained her sanity.

"Naomi, you finally woke up?" asked Seiko with surprise.

Seeing that the two were safe and sound, Inoue Ueya nodded secretly, then walked forward and asked softly: "Well, you are not hurt, right?"

At that moment, a blond man wearing a knitted hat, holding a camera, and with narrowed eyes emerged from the darkness of the corridor. He whispered, "Oh, after the Wraith, even Kamen Rider has appeared?"

Looking at the blond man in front of him, Inoue Ueya suddenly understood something, "I recognize you, you are the assistant of someone!"

"Hey, you know me?"

The blond man smiled wryly, "Nice to meet you. I'm Tian Jiuchi Shouwu, the assistant to Marshal Gui Bei Ji!"

Inoue Ueya nodded, pointed at Natsukawa Hanako next to him, and replied: "I am Inoue Ueya, and the girl standing over there is my partner..."

"Well, it's not safe to talk here. Anyway, let's go somewhere else."

As he spoke, Inoue Ueya took out a black pass.

Chapter 28: Mr. Inoue is going to become a time robber!

Inoue Ueya took the black pass and opened a closed door at random.

What caught everyone's eyes was a rainbow-colored sky, an endless barren desert, and a train with red and white as its main colors.

Looking at the scenery in front of them, everyone looked surprised.

"here it is……"

"This is the Desert of Time," Inoue Ueya replied.

Den-liner, the time train in the Kamen Rider series, is the reward given by the system when Inoue Ueya made a contract with Miss Sadako.

Unlike the original, this is a train that belongs only to Inoue Ueya. There is no conductor, no crew or anything like that. However, it retains the original function of traveling through time. Unfortunately, he has a black pass in his hand, which, like the original, requires certain conditions to travel through time.

Inoue Ueya led the group onto the Time Train and began to briefly explain the current situation. "This dimension is different from Tenjin Elementary School. The vengeful spirits imprisoned there seem to be unable to enter at will. Hanako and I tried to capture some spirits along the way, but they were blocked by an invisible wall."

Naomi Nakajima looked at Inoue Ueya with a subtle look, "You actually catch ghosts?"

Shinohara Yoshiko's eyes lit up. "So, if only other people had escaped here..."

"Well, this way they won't be attacked. And there's one more thing to be thankful for. There might be some conflict between the two dimensions. Every time we leave the Desert of Time, we enter a different dimension. This makes it easier to find survivors."

Tian Jiuchi Shouwu thought for a moment, then asked, "Can this train take us back to our original world?"

Inoue Ueya shook his head and replied, "Unfortunately, this cannot be done for the time being. You have heard of the concept of 'multiple closed spaces' from the ghosts, right? The time-space distortion of 'Tenjin Elementary School' has affected some of the train's functions. Unless the controller of this space is defeated and liberated, the train cannot return to its original world."
