I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

What on earth has been happening recently? First it was Yashaku Yuki, then Iwanaga Kotoko and Natsukawa Hanako, and now there’s even Miss Mary!

Although Miss Sadako knew clearly that Inoue Ueya had no improper thoughts about Mary, she was still jealous.

"Really? Why?"

Miss Sadako walked up to Inoue Ueya again, with a smile on her face, and said softly: "Ueya, you are really brave. You dare to be so intimate with other girls one after another in front of Miss Sadako..."

"Sadako?"

It was clearly her who cooked every day, and it was clearly her who initially made the contract with Ueya, but for some reason she felt that the distance between her and Inoue Ueya was gradually growing.

No, Miss Sadako must teach this philandering blockhead a lesson.

After thinking for a while, Miss Sadako puffed up her cheeks, stared at Inoue Ueya fiercely, and asked, "Tell me, do you like me?"

Inoue Ueya looked at Miss Sadako in front of him. Although he was a little confused by her question, he nodded and replied, "I like it. What's wrong?"

"Tell me! Who are you? Who do you like? How long do you plan to like that person? Just for a day or two?"

Upon hearing this, Inoue Ueya realized that the situation before him was far from simple as he had imagined.

What is this? Is it a new death question?

Never mind, I can’t figure it out anyway.

So, Inoue Ueya took a deep breath, organized his words in his mind, and then said softly: "Uh... I'm Inoue Ueya, I'll always love Sadako, and everyone else?"

"Onii-chan!"

For some reason, Mary, who was sitting there, suddenly called out to Inoue Ueya and then shook her head.

"Mary? What—"

Miss Sadako still seemed dissatisfied and interrupted Inoue Ueya, not giving him a chance to stop and think, "Delete the last part and say it again!"

"Uh, I, Inoue Ueya, will always love Sadako?"

"It's too weak, I can't hear you at all, do it again! Louder!" Miss Sadako said again.

Inoue Ueya listened to Miss Sadako's request and subconsciously shouted loudly: "I, Inoue Ueya, will always love Sadako--!!"

The sound echoed throughout the living room of the Inoue family. The other girls looked at Inoue Ueya in front of them and felt a little eager to do something.

"Okay, very spirited!"

Miss Sadako waved her hand, stood up and walked into the kitchen.

"Now that we have the answer, let's clear the table and chairs and get ready for dinner."

"???"

What exactly does Miss Sadako want to express?

The conversation just now was completely meaningless.

At this moment, a slender hand appeared from behind Inoue Ueya and placed it on his shoulder.

"My dear husband, could you please repeat what we just said?"

A half-smile appeared on Yashayuki's face, which looked inexplicably strange.

"Hey, Ueya-kun, is what you just said true?"

Similarly, Kotoko Iwanaga also looked at Mr. Inoue with a gloomy expression.

"Really? Why didn't Onii-chan pay attention to Mary's reminder just now, and ended up letting that old... that woman take advantage of her."

Mary, who was sitting in Inoue Ueya's arms, grabbed his clothes tightly, seeming a little dissatisfied.

At this time, Inoue Ue finally felt the glaring gazes from the girls and realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Oh haha."

Seeing this, Inoue Ueya wanted to stand up, but he found that he was still handcuffed and could not move at all.

This is not good, if it continues like this!

——Is this also within your calculations, Sadako!

"Go ahead! Tell us again what you just said, and tell Hanako too!"

"What? You want Inoue to say such disgusting things to me?" Hanako Natsukawa's cheeks suddenly turned red.

……

"I'm gonna start now!"

After a while, it was finally time to eat.

Tonight's dinner is miso soup, curry rice, and fried chicken.

Well, these are all common dishes...

"By the way, Mary, can you eat something?"

"Well, as long as I become a human, I can eat normally, but..."

Turning to look at Mary beside him, Inoue Ueya saw that she was frowning and trying to use chopsticks by imitating the actions of others.

"Hey, Mary, that's not how you hold chopsticks. Look at your brother's hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, Inoue Ueya picked up a piece of fried chicken with chopsticks and handed it to Mary's mouth.

"Open your mouth, ah——"

"Ah."

After eating Inoue Ueya's fried chicken nuggets, Mary nodded with satisfaction.

"Onii-chan, what was that just now? It was delicious!"

"Hehe, it's delicious, right? This is the fried chicken nuggets made by Miss Sadako!" Inoue Ueya said proudly.

"Oh, let me think about it. The way to hold chopsticks is like this. First, hold the chopsticks with the base of your thumb..."

"Is that right?"

"Yeah, that's right. Now, hold it with your thumb, index finger, and middle finger, like this..."

After a long while, Mary seemed to have mastered the technique of using chopsticks. A bright smile spread across her face. "Great! I finally know how to use chopsticks!"

Inoue Ueya nodded, seeming very satisfied with his interaction with Mary just now.

However, when Mr. Inoue turned his head back, he saw everyone looking at him with strange eyes, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.

"What do you want?" Inoue Ueya sighed.

The first person to react was Iwanaga Kotoko, who pointed to her mouth.

"Are you serious?" Inoue Ueya's mouth twitched slightly.

She opened her mouth towards Inoue Ueya and said, "Ah——"

"My dear husband, I want one too!"

"I know, I know. There's really nothing I can do about you..."

After feeding both of them several mouthfuls of food, Inoue Ue could finally eat with peace of mind.

Miss Sadako, who was sitting next to him, just smiled slightly and reached out to pat Inoue Ueya's shoulder.

"Come on, Ueya, open your mouth, ah——"

Miss Sadako imitated what Inoue Ueya had just done, picked up a piece of fried chicken with chopsticks and handed it to his mouth.

"???"

Although he didn't know why it turned out like this, Inoue Ueya still opened his mouth and ate the food that Sadako handed to him.

—Hmm, a subtle feeling. What is this? Feeding play?

"Hmmmm~~" Miss Sadako looked very satisfied.

Chapter 65: It's Too Lame

Dinner is still going on.

"Uh huh huh..."

Hearing the strange sound coming from Hanako Natsukawa, Inoue Ueya subconsciously glanced at her.

"Wait, Hanako, where did you get that beer?"

Looking at Hanako holding a can of beer in her hand, her face as red as a ripe apple, and her giggling, Inoue Ueya felt that she was obviously drunk.

"Hmm... I took this out of the refrigerator. Do you call this beer? I'm wondering why it tastes so bitter. It's totally unpalatable! I want to drink Korra!"

Miss Sadako suddenly remembered something and showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, "Ah, this is the beer I want to use when I study cooking!"

"Well, it's just an urban legend after all. How could he get drunk just by drinking a can of beer? That's lame..." Inoue Ueya shook his head.

Upon hearing this, Hanako Natsukawa frowned, slammed the table, and shouted, "I'm not drunk!"

"Hey, hey, I know, I know."

……

After dinner, Inoue Ueya carried the drunk Natsukawa Hanako on his back and took her to her room.

Hanako Natsukawa continued to act drunkenly, yelling, "Wow, elder sister Mami is so miserable..."

"Hey, we agreed not to mention Senpai!"

As he spoke, Inoue Ueya helped her take off her indoor slippers, then gently put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt.

"Whoosh..."

Hanako Natsukawa, who was lying on the bed, was breathing steadily and no longer making a fuss.

Is this asleep?

Seeing the current Hanako Natsukawa, Inoue Ue couldn't help but shake his head. Is this guy's personality beginning to gradually collapse?

When we first met, she still looked like a domineering big sister.

Now I feel that she is getting weirder and weirder.

"Well, at least get some sleep, Hanako."

Having said that, Inoue Ueya turned around and prepared to leave Hanako's room.

Suddenly, he felt the corner of his clothes being grabbed.

When he looked back, he saw that it was Hanako Natsukawa who had grabbed him. For some reason, she had woken up, but she seemed to be still drunk.

"Uh, what's wrong with you, Hanako?"

"Didn't you agree to stay with me? You're not allowed to leave..."

"what?"

Hanako Natsukawa pushed Inoue Ueya to the ground with her backhand, an angry expression on her face.

"Hey, hey, stop it!"

Seeing that Inoue Ueya was trying to struggle, the drunken Natsukawa Hanako snapped her fingers and a red light turned into a rope that tied up Mr. Inoue on the floor.

"Hey! You've already confessed to me, why are you still messing around with other girls? I hate seeing you with other girls!"

"Me? Confession?" Inoue Ue asked in confusion.

After thinking for a while, Hanako Natsukawa sat on a chair beside her and crossed her legs.

"Speaking of which, it's time to punish you, a playboy..."

As she finished speaking, she stretched out her feet wrapped in white cotton socks, stopped not far in front of Inoue Ueya, and shook them gently.

"Well--"
