I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

She could clearly feel the demonic presence, but even she, a genius Onmyoji girl, couldn't find the monster. Perhaps there was a powerful monster hiding there. That Nura classmate shouldn't be attacked, right?

Ever since she came to Chiba, she seemed to have encountered various powerful beings one after another. First, she met Yashakuyuki on the first day, and Miss Sadako from the Inoue family...

"Gulu~~"

Tsk, when she thought of the food cooked by Miss Sadako, she started to feel hungry. She should find a day to visit the Inoue family.

Then, not many days later, she also encountered a monster of unknown identity in Nura's house today.

Finally, Hanakaiin Yuura came to a conclusion -

Weak, I am really too weak!

In Kyoto, people called her Yuura-sama and genius girl, but after coming to Chiba, her worldview has been constantly refreshed.

There are also people who can make contracts with urban legends, such as "Yashika-sama", an extraordinary existence that is both a god and a monster, and even the invisible and unknown monster of the Nura family...

"Yuro!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind her.

Hanakaiin Yuura turned around and saw that the person coming was her parent Kana, her classmate and also a member of the Seijushizu Strange Detective Team.

"Wandering around the streets at night in school uniform is a very dangerous thing, isn't it?"

Chapter 46 I Gradually Begin to Understand Everything

The previous part is omitted.

Yukinoshita Yukino sat alone in a corner of a cat cafe, looking at the cats in the shop and lost in thought.

"Do you believe in your own possibilities..."

Although when talking with Inoue Ueya a while ago, Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to understand something.

But to be honest, she was still a little confused.

She has always been following in her sister's footsteps, suppressing her emotions and trying to become more outstanding like Yukinoshita Haruno.

But unknowingly, she always felt that she was becoming less and less like herself. Is the current Yukinoshita Yukino really still the real Yukinoshita Yukino?

Or is she just a poor imitator?

Is Yukinoshita Yukino just a fake imitating her sister Yukinoshita Haruno?

she does not know.

But as long as you keep moving forward, walking on the ever-expanding road, one day you will get the answer, right?

As the saying goes, "The essence of human beings is a repeater." While doubting her life, Yukinoshita Yukino heard the cat next to her meowing, and her mouth began to make cat sounds subconsciously.

"Meow meow meow……"

"Meow meow?"

"Meow meow meow meow!"

The cats looked at the girl in front of them with surprise, as if they couldn't understand why this girl wanted to learn to talk like them.

No, not only the cat, even the guests sitting nearby heard her voice and the corners of their mouths unconsciously curled up.

Maybe this is the kindness from passers-by. In order to avoid embarrassing Yukinoshita Yukino, everyone at the scene seemed to have some tacit understanding. No one went over to remind her, but let her continue to scream like this.

"Come to think of it, there seem to be fewer and fewer stray cats on the streets lately."

"Well, I used to see cats a lot when I walked along the road here..."

So, without noticing any problems, Yukinoshita Yukino continued to think about her life.

Come to think of it, why did I start imitating my sister in the first place?

Yukinoshita Yukino has forgotten and can't remember it now, but if she wants to move forward now, she must first face the hurdle in her heart.

As Inoue Ueya said, Yukinoshita Yukino wanted to try to put everything aside, tear off the mask on her face, the mask that imitated her sister, the cold mask, and try to be the real Yukinoshita Yukino.

This is also the reason why she came to the cat cafe, which was against her usual practice. Yukinoshita Yukino wanted to try to face her own heart. Since she likes cats, then visiting a cat cafe seems to be a good choice.

Well, the harvest was good. At least she was now surrounded by a group of cats. She felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in her heart, a feeling she had never felt before.

So that's it. Is this what I am like after facing my inner self?

[Great, I'm starting to understand everything.]

"Meow... meow meow meow?"

At this time, Yukinoshita Yukino finally came to her senses and realized that she had been making cat sounds. Her cheeks turned red and her heart was instantly filled with shame.

After paying the bill, she hurried out of the cat cafe.

When Yukinoshita Yukino walked out of the cafe, she looked up and found that it was already night.

She sighed and decided to go home today.

Walking on the streets at night, Yukinoshita Yukino always felt a little strange.

It feels so quiet. The streets are so quiet now, as if people have been dispersed by some force.

"..."

But she is already in her second year of high school, so how could Miss Yukinoshita be afraid of such supernatural events?

"It's just an illusion."

Without thinking too much, Yukinoshita Yukino continued walking towards home.

"Ahhh-"

Suddenly a scream came from not far away.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked up and saw a group of monsters with rat faces and human bodies surrounding the two girls and forcing them into the alley in front.

"Is that a monster?"

Since urban legends exist, monsters are not something unacceptable.

It’s just those two girls, I hope nothing will happen to them?

In this situation, the reasonable thing to do is to call the police first?

"But distant water cannot put out a nearby fire. By the time people arrive at the scene, the victims may be the only ones left..."

But if I report something like a monster to the police, will anyone really believe me?

The image of Inoue Ueya suddenly appeared in her mind. He seemed to have said before that he had the ability to exorcise ghosts?

Yukinoshita Yukino took out her cell phone from her pocket and looked at it carefully for a while.

Unsurprisingly, she didn't have Mr. Inoue's phone number.

It's probably too late to call the police now. If you want to save people or prevent something bad from happening -

"I'm the only one who can stop this from happening..."

……

Hanakaiin Yuura and her parent Kana were surrounded by a group of ratmen.

Just now, not long after the two of them met on the street, a group of humanoid creatures with rat faces suddenly appeared on the road and forced them into an alley. The alley was not narrow, but it was a dead end.

"Yuro, what is this?"

As if frightened by the scene in front of her, the parent Kana showed a horrified expression.

Hanakaiin Yuura sighed and began to explain, "The rat-man before us is, to put it simply, a beast-demon, a kind of monster that possesses intelligence but lacks rationality."

I've encountered many invincible enemies lately, but the guy in front of me...

After all, I am a talented Onmyoji girl. Now even an ordinary monster like this dares to provoke me?

The rat man in a black suit sneered when he heard this, and seemed a little disdainful of Hanakaiin Yuura's words.

"Ha, Rat Man? Our old Lord Rat is the Night King of this street!"

"Old Rat? I see. Old Rat the youkai... a youkai who likes to eat kittens raw. Am I right?"

……

"A scary monster that eats cats raw?"

Yukinoshita Yukino stood outside the alley and began to hesitate.

After all, it is a dangerous incident. Is it really necessary for her to take the risk?

still--

Just watch them die like this?

Just like those guys who watched coldly when I was being ostracized?

What a joke!

Yukinoshita Yukino lowered her head and unconsciously clenched her fists. "I can't just watch. I must overcome my fear. I... I want to be the pure Yukinoshita Yukino again!"

If I choose to escape at this critical moment, what's the difference between me and those bad guys?

If she did that, wouldn't all her efforts be in vain?

That's right, even though she is just an ordinary person, even if she doesn't have the ability to confront monsters head-on, Yukinoshita Yukino has an uncompromising belief in her heart!

Yukinoshita Yukino gritted her teeth and finally walked towards the alley.

"The path I take is decided by me!"

Chapter 47 From now on, I will follow the way of heaven

Yukinoshita Yukino was standing outside the alley, thinking about how to save the two girls who were surrounded in front of her.

There are too many monsters. It's impossible to win in a head-on confrontation, right?

"Then we have no choice but to use our wits..."

However, Hanakaiin Yuura, who was surrounded by rat demons, did not think so.

Do you think it is just a daily incident of monsters persecuting humans?

Sorry, I am Onmyoji.

"It's decided to be you, Tan Lang!"

Hanakaiin Yuura took out a paper figurine from his pocket and summoned a big dog with Yu Bu...

No, it was a giant white wolf.

"Tanzan", this is one of her Shikigami.

Then, she pointed at the rat demon in front of her and whispered, "Go, Greedy Wolf, kill them all!"

For the rat monsters, the giant white wolf in front of them is almost an invincible enemy. Its powerful strength and bite force are deadly weapons. This white wolf can easily kill all the monsters on the scene.

A large number of rat demons in the alley were wiped out by Tan Lang in an instant, and the rat demons were scared away.

"Captain, who is this woman..."

The surviving rat demons retreated to a rat man in a white suit. It seemed that the other party was the leader of the rat demons, right?

"Onmyoji... I didn't expect the Third Hokage of the Nura Clan to have such a hobby. He actually dares to make friends with an Onmyoji?"

This Mr. Old Rat in a white suit is the leader of the Old Rat Group, the head of the Rat Demon Cowherd Group, and the most popular cowherd on this street. His stage name is "Seiya".

Well, all in all, these are not that important. Let’s just call this rat demon leader the Old Rat Man for the time being.

Recently, the old rat man has really been unable to suppress his ambition. Just like he occupied this street effortlessly, his next step is to help his boss replace the Nura clan and make him the new monster lord.

A mere little kid can be the leader of the Nura Group. It seems that the monster force founded by the famous Lord of Demons and Goblins is no more than this. Anyway, the era of emphasizing reputation and morality is long gone. It is not impossible for his boss to replace the Nura Group and become the monster lord.

The old rat man's mission was just to capture the two friends of the Nura Clan's third generation leader and test the Nura Clan's attitude. It was that simple.

If the third generation leader wavers, then take the opportunity to force him to give up the position of the third generation leader of the Nura group and dampen the Nura group's fighting spirit.

It doesn't matter if he rejects her. She can just declare war on them. Anyway, he never intended to let go of the two girls in front of him from the beginning.

For the old rat men and the members of the rat demon cowherd group, eating humans is nothing new, especially given their job identities. It is always easy for them to trick human women into sparsely populated areas and then have a hearty meal.
