I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

As she spoke, before Inoue Ueya could react, Natsukawa Hanako kicked open the basement door and shouted, "Come out and fight, Shinozaki Sachiko!"

What caught my eye was Sachiko Shinozaki squatting in the corner with her head in her hands. I could faintly hear her sobbing. Unlike the last time I met her, Sachiko Shinozaki looked a little weird now.

Without thinking too much, Inoue Ueya walked behind Shinozaki Sachiko, squatted down, reached out and patted her shoulder, "Hey..."

"Don't come over here, ahhhh—"

Sachiko Shinozaki looked at Inoue Ueya with horror. Although he looked a little different, she still remembered the armor and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"..."

Inoue Ueya looked at Shinozaki Sachiko with complicated eyes and said nothing.

Come to think of it, this Sachiko started to look scared when she was halfway through her fight with Hanako Natsukawa...

It seems that this child was frightened by the previous battle.

This is a bit embarrassing. Mr. Inoue was clearly preparing for a big battle, but his opponent was already dumbfounded before that?

"What on earth is this..."

"Ah, really, your armor must be so ugly that it scared her. Let me do it!"

As she watched, Hanako Natsukawa became impatient again, pushed Inoue Ueya aside, and then walked forward.

Staring at Shinozaki Sachiko with scarlet eyes, Natsukawa Hanako forced out an unnatural smile and tried to talk to her in a gentle voice: "Hey, little kid, come over to your sister..."

Well, her "smile" might just be a grin in Shinozaki Sachiko's eyes, right?

"Ahhhh-"

Almost in an instant, Sachiko Shinozaki screamed with her mouth open and eyes closed, and used her ability to flash and hide in the corner on the other side.

Well, I'm scared to this extent, this must be PTSD...

Yanagihori Ryumine was still standing at the door. It seemed that after seeing Shinozaki Sachiko, he didn't move at all, not even blinking.

Inoue Ueya walked back and patted his shoulder...

boom!

He ended up falling to the ground with his eyes still open.

???

"Hey, Principal Xia, what's wrong with you?"

Since it didn't disappear, it shouldn't be dead, right?

So, his situation is...

Could it be——

"Did you faint?"

Because he saw Sachiko Shinozaki and felt guilty or something, he finally fainted?

After guessing the general reason, Mr. Inoue couldn't help but hold his forehead and shake his head.

This scumbag principal is so lame!

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Chapter 34 The ending of the story is decided by us!

The previous part is omitted.

I am Sachiko Shinozaki, the strongest evil spirit in Tenjin Elementary School, the mastermind behind the Tenjin Elementary School incident, and the little girl in red.

Whatever, these titles are not the point anyway.

The point is that today I was severely beaten by a terrible outsider, no, by a despicable foreigner... Even the teacher was sacrificed. The murderous aura from the other party even scared me so much that my body trembled uncontrollably. However, luck seemed to be on my side. Taking advantage of the other party's mistake, Miss Sachiko managed to escape in the end.

I just didn't expect that just by spreading the curse of Tianshen Elementary School, I would immediately attract such a terrifying enemy...

The world outside is indeed too dangerous. This time I really made a mistake.

After successfully escaping, I decided to hide in the safest basement and monitor their every move, but the evil spirit around that guy actually noticed that I was spying on them.

That's right, the evil ghost girl turned her head and looked at the screen with a hideous smile on her face, as if she was looking at me from a distance. She raised her hand and pointed, and the screen I was using to peek exploded directly, which scared me.

Why was I bullied so badly by an outsider...

"It's over. I'm probably going to be killed by her this time..."

It was just that the previous attack seemed to have dispersed some of the resentment in me, causing me to vaguely remember things before my death, and my head began to hurt.

“Ah ...

The memories of the past impacted her consciousness, and Miss Sachiko gradually became strange.

……

Now, in the basement.

Sachiko Shinozaki held her head in her hands and shouted, "Auntie, no, don't come over here!"

"Let me go, I'm going to beat that brat up!"

Inoue Ueya grabbed the angry Natsukawa Hanako, preventing her from going forward, and advised her to calm down.

——I don’t understand, Mr. Inoue really doesn’t understand. It’s clearly a weird existence like an urban legend, so Natsukawa Hanako’s age can’t be younger, right?

Hey……

Whether it's Shizuka Hiratsuka or Hanako Natsukawa, why do women care so much about their age?

In short, Inoue Ueya decided to summon Shinozaki Yoshie first.

After a moment, Shinozaki Yoshie, who had been summoned by Inoue Ueya using the diary from before, looked at his daughter squatting in the corner with a bewildered look on his face and asked in a puzzled tone, "Uh, what's going on with Sachiko?"

"Well, it seems she was frightened by us during the recent battle, and now she seems to be frightened and stunned...? She reacts excitedly when we approach her. Although we can't get close to her, as a mother, I guess it should be okay for you, right?"

As he spoke, Inoue Ueya handed the bag containing Sachiko's tongue that he had taken from Yanagihori Ryumine to Shinozaki Yoshie.

Shinozaki Yoshie nodded, took the bag, then turned to look at Shinozaki Sachiko and said softly: "Sachiko, it's been a long time since I looked at you like this..."

Ever since she was killed by the despicable principal, Yoshie Shinozaki, who became a vengeful spirit, has been haunted by resentment. Seeing the principal, who had successfully escaped punishment, appear in school every day as if nothing had happened, her hatred for the principal grew stronger and stronger. Gradually, her consciousness was occupied by resentment. She ignored Sachiko Shinozaki beside her and began to curse the principal day and night. In order to avenge her mother, Sachiko Shinozaki appeared in her dreams to the despicable principal every day, which eventually led to the despicable principal becoming mentally ill and committing suicide.

Yoshie Shinozaki was a popular figure among children. Now a vengeful spirit, she often complains about the quietness of the health center, missing the lively atmosphere of the past. Shinozaki Sachiko, having overheard her mother mumbling, begins attacking students at Tenjin Elementary School, allowing them to become ghosts and keep her company. The three child ghosts that Ueya Inoue encounters in the health center are among these victims.

However, as she did this, Sachiko Shinozaki was also affected by the resentment, forgetting the past and her purpose. All that remained in her consciousness was the thought of torturing the living and causing more people to die tragically, becoming an evil spirit that had forgotten her past memories.

Taking a deep breath, Yoshie Shinozaki walked forward and opened her arms to hug the frightened Sachiko Shinozaki.

Sachiko Shinozaki didn't remember who the woman in front of her was. Looking at this face that was both strange and somewhat familiar, she didn't dodge this time and let Yoshie Shinozaki hug her.

"Sister, who are you?"

Hanako Natsukawa showed an angry expression when she heard that. She was obviously younger than Yoshie Shinozaki no matter how she looked at her, so why did that brat call her old aunt?

beat!

This rude guy must be caught and beaten up!

"Ah ...

"Calm down, calm down, Hanako—"

Mr. Inoue continued to hold Hanako Natsukawa to prevent her from interrupting the mother-daughter reunion.

Feeling that Sachiko Shinozaki in her arms began to tremble again, Yoshie Shinozaki reached out and gently stroked Sachiko's head, saying softly: "It's okay, it's okay, because mommy is here..."

Mother?

For some reason, Sachiko Shinozaki subconsciously believed what the woman in front of her said. She had a strange feeling in her heart, as if telling herself that the woman in front of her would not deceive her and she was a trustworthy person.

Then, Yoshie Shinozaki took out the bag containing Sachiko's tongue and returned the tongue to Sachiko Shinozaki.

"Your lost tongue, your mother asked someone to find it for you."

"……Thanks."

Nestled in Yoshie Shinozaki's arms, Sachiko felt inexplicably at ease and slowly closed her eyes.

This was a familiar and nostalgic warmth. Sachiko Shinozaki vaguely remembered that the woman in front of her seemed to be her mother, her only family besides her dead father.

"Is Sachiko finally able to rest? I don't know why, but Sachiko feels a little tired..."

Shinozaki Yoshie smiled gently, her voice slightly choked with sobs as she whispered, "Good boy, sleep peacefully. Mom will always be by your side."

"Mother……"

"Ok?"

"Although the time was short, Sachiko felt that this life was very happy..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Sachiko Shinozaki's body began to glow and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

"She...disappeared."

Looking at the scene in front of him, Inoue Ueya fell silent.

Although she is a murderous evil spirit, Sachiko Shinozaki is actually just a simple girl at heart.

This is why Inoue Ueya plans to change the past. No matter how you look at it, she shouldn't have such an ending!

After a moment, Inoue Ueya finally spoke, "Hanako, are you ready?"

"……I see."

Hanako Natsukawa walked up to Yoshie Shinozaki and said, "Then the contract is complete."

Yoshie Shinozaki's body was temporarily split in half, and a special hole appeared in the middle. That was the hole used by the Demon God to travel through time and space, allowing the Demon God to travel to the time point that the contractor cared about most in his life.

Before leaving, Hanako Natsukawa turned to look at Inoue Ueya and said, "Promise me that you will come back with everyone smiling."

Inoue Ueya looked up and met Natsukawa Hanako's eyes, nodded, and smiled brightly.

"Well... the ending of the story is up to us!"

Chapter 35: Ghost Train?

Hanako Natsukawa used the contract to go back to the past, and Yoshie Shinozaki returned to normal as the hole disappeared.

Then, Inoue Ueya walked up to Shinozaki Yoshie, took out the ticket of the time train and put it on her head.

The image of Hanako Natsukawa and the time when she appeared gradually appeared on the ticket.

"Well, do you remember what time it is?"

Inoue Ueya handed the ticket in his hand to Shinozaki Yoshie.

"In 1950, that was the year my husband passed away. It was also because of this incident that I desperately used the forbidden technique of the Book of Shadows. Then, due to the backlash, Sachiko swallowed the "Nirvana" that escaped from the Book of Shadows to save me and sealed it within herself..."

At this time, strong earthquakes began to occur in the space, and Tianshen Elementary School began to gradually collapse.

"Well, it's time to go."

Inoue Ueya scratched his head, turned around, walked to the door, and kicked Yanagihori Ryufeng who was lying on the ground.

"Stop pretending to be asleep. It's time to put an end to your past self."

"..."

Yanagihori Ryufeng did not answer and stood up silently.

Shinozaki Yoshie frowned when she saw him and said in a deep voice, "Yanagiri Ryumine...if it weren't for you, Sachiko wouldn't have—!"

Her words were filled with hatred. She not only resented Yanagihori Ryumine's behavior, but also resented herself for being powerless and having to watch her child die and disappear.

"Regrets... regrets about the past?"

Inoue Ueya looked at the two people in front of him, pulled out a black pass from his pocket, and with a confident smile, he slowly said, "Although I didn't send you a notice in advance, do you want to witness with your own eyes the moment I steal despair?"
