I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

But it always feels weird to call myself by this name...

Inoue Ueya thought for a moment, then said, "Yoshi, it's decided. From now on, I'll call you Kuin!"

Hearing this, the girl showed a puzzled expression and imitated Inoue Ueya and said, "Ku, Ying?"

"No, it's Kuin, Ku-in."

Inoue Ueya pointed at the girl and said the name "Kuin".

"Kuin?" The girl pointed at herself with a confused look on her face.

"Yeah, Kuin!"

Inoue Ueya nodded. It seemed that the girl understood what he meant.

So, what about walking around?

No, let's talk to Kuin first...

If Kuin has any connection with this dream world, maybe I can get some clues from her.

Well, so now you have to try to learn the other person’s language, or make the other person understand what you are saying.

Inoue Ueya smiled, as if remembering something, "Ohh ...

"?"

"Don't worry, Kuin, I'll teach you to say all kinds of famous lines!"

Inoue Ueya thought for a while. It seemed that Kuin called him "Iye"?

"Hmm, I'm falling into a well!"

As Inoue Ueya spoke, he pointed his thumb at himself and smiled arrogantly.

"Ku, Luo?"

Inoue Ueya nodded and responded, "Come on, learn how to say it like me, Kurokuhn!"

Chapter 69: Morning Exercise

The next day.

Inoue Ueya woke up from his dream. When he opened his eyes, he saw the familiar ceiling and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

At least he was not wrong. As long as he could wake up, he could escape from that extremely real dream.

But will Kuin stay alone in the dream?

I'm a little worried about that girl's safety...

There are still many unknown mysteries about that dream, so let’s discuss it with everyone at home.

"Hmm, my body feels so heavy..."

Inoue Ueya moved his body slightly and wanted to stand up, but found that he was being pinned down.

He was now being held tightly by the sleeping Miss Sadako, who had wrapped around half of his body like an octopus, much like how one would grab a pillow, with her arms and legs pressed against him.

Not only that, Mary, who had been sleeping next to Sadako, was now lying on top of Inoue Ueya, pressing her whole body on him. Although Inoue Ueya could still barely bear her weight, but——

"Not good! Breathing, it's so uncomfortable..."

He didn't want to wake them up, but in order to save his life, Mr. Inoue had to do so.

"Hey, hey, it's dawn, don't sleep anymore! At least change your position for Mr. Inoue!"

After hearing his voice, the sleeping Miss Sadako frowned unconsciously, as if she had dreamed of something. Her hands clenched even tighter, and she said shyly: "Well, stupid Ueya, that's not allowed..."

When Inoue Ue heard Miss Sadako suddenly talking in her sleep in strange ways, he was completely stunned.

"???"

What is this, I can drive in my dream?

Inoue Ue also gradually showed a look of pain. Since he couldn't wake them up, he had no choice but to try to break free from the two of them.

After a long time, Inoue Ue finally escaped from the bed.

He looked at the desk clock beside him. The current time was 4:30 in the morning...

Isn't this a bit too early?

I always feel that the time I spend in the dream should not be so short. Could it be that the dream can really make a day into 25 hours?

Inoue Ueya originally wanted to sleep a little longer while it was still early, but for some reason he felt very energetic now, even better than when he woke up on normal days.

At this time, Inoue Ueya discovered that the Book of Shadows appeared on the desk again.

"That's strange. Have I ever taken this book out of the bookshelf?"

Or does the Book of Shadows really have something to do with that dream?

Inoue Ueya shook his head and gave up thinking.

Anyway, go wash your face and wake up...

Then he left the room and went to the bathroom.

……

Opening the bathroom door, Inoue Ueya saw Yashayuki washing up.

Yashayuki smiled slightly when he saw Inoue Ueya, "Ah, good morning, my husband!"

Really, she got up so early again?

"Sachiko, do you get up so early every day?"

Come to think of it, when I went out to attend the autograph session with Miss Sadako, Yashayuki also got up around this time, right?

Yashaku Yuki gave a wry smile and replied, "Yes, because I need morning exercises. In order to become stronger, I, a laggard who is not good at illusions and spells, have no choice but to use this method to become stronger..."

Inoue Ueya opened his mouth and wanted to say something to comfort Yashayuki, but after thinking for a while, he finally gave up the idea.

The girl in front of me who has been exercising silently and has a strong heart should not need comfort, but——

"Ah... Speaking of which, Mr. Inoue has gained weight recently. It seems I need to exercise more."

As he spoke, Inoue Ueya reached out and pinched his cheek.

"Hey, my husband?"

"Yoshi, it's decided. Starting today, Mr. Inoue will do morning exercises with you!"

Yashayuki looked surprised. According to her memory, Inoue Ueya would usually get up very late unless there was something special.

"Now that you've made up your mind, you have to do it seriously. For morning exercise, a few pieces of bread and some milk should be enough."

Inoue Ueya started taking food out of the refrigerator.

"Hey, is it necessary to eat? Can't we just exercise on an empty stomach?" Yashayuki asked in confusion.

Rather than eating these things, Yashayuki would rather eat the breakfast made by Miss Sadako on an empty stomach. Simply put, he was conquered by Sadako's cooking skills.

So, Inoue Ue also started preaching mode.

"No, no, no, exercising on an empty stomach isn't good for your health. You'd better eat something. Mr. Inoue doesn't know anything about magic, but I do know a little bit about the basics of physical exercise. Don't neglect your diet just because of Hachishaku-sama's strong physique. Doing so might even bring you better results from your training, Sachiko."

Next, Inoue Ueya talked about a lot of dietary common sense that needed to be paid attention to, which made Yashayuki completely confused.

She didn't understand anything about carbohydrates and low blood sugar.

"I-I know!"

In the end, Yashayuki couldn't convince Inoue Ueya any more, so he had to do as he asked.

Seeing this, Inoue Ueya nodded and continued, "Well, after eating, wait a little longer to let the food digest before going out for exercise."

About an hour later, Inoue Ueya changed into sportswear and went out with Yashayuki.

"Yoshi, let's go!"

Inoue Ueya and Yashayuki came to the park again.

There is no way, first of all, the figure of the eight-foot master is a bit too conspicuous, and there are not many places suitable for exercise nearby.

"Well, my dear husband, let's do some warm-up exercises first..."

Nodding, Inoue Ue also warmed up with Yashayuki.

Since it's morning exercise, it shouldn't be any strenuous exercise, right?

At most, just warm up and then take a run.

In fact, what she did was similar to the movements that Inoue Ueya knew, which were inseparable from some simple movements such as chest expansion, side stretching, and rotation.

but……

Looking at Hachisha-sama standing in front of him, with afterimages of various movements constantly appearing on his body, Inoue Ue fell into deep thought.

Is this warm-up really meaningful?

Or is it that Hachishaku-sama's physique is really so strong that even the number of warm-up exercises needs to be significantly increased?

Moreover, her fellow tribesmen still look down on her, so how powerful is the illusion of the Hachisha clan?

"Well, this is Sachiko's super-fast warm-up method that she's so proud of. After doing it during morning exercise, she doesn't need to warm up for the rest of the day. It does, however, consume a bit of energy."

"Huh? There is such a saying?" Inoue Ueya's three views were refreshed again.

I saw a lot of white gas coming out of Yashayuki's body, and his whole body turned red, as if the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu were opened.

"...Sachiko, how many sets did you just do?"

"Hmm, about a thousand sets, right? I didn't pay much attention to it, but when I was almost done, I felt a burning sensation inside, and that's when I stopped."

"???"

"Well, warm-up is over, so let's go for a run! It's half past five now, so we should run two hundred laps around the park before six o'clock."

Chapter 70: The Love Clan

"Huh, huh..."

To be honest, this park is not small. It should be as big as several playgrounds, right?

Inoue Ueya jogged for several laps and gradually began to pant.

On the other hand, Yashayuki ran very fast, and Inoue Ue saw her figure flashing past him from time to time. He began to worry that she might run too fast and bump into someone.

The size of Hachishaku-sama and her current running speed, which is too fast to be seen with the naked eye, if you add the two together, it's not as simple as one plus one...

Wait, so is Mr. Inoue in danger now?

No, don't think too much, just keep running.

……

At the same time, in a different space.

The land of the Bashi clan, Bashi Village, and the home of the clan leader.

A black-haired loli who looks similar to Yashayuki is sitting on a chair at home, frowning and looking in a bad mood.

This black-haired loli with a big heart is named Yashake Megumi, the patriarch of the Yashake clan.

Well, after all, she is the clan leader, and her vision and tolerance are far beyond those of ordinary people.

In addition, she has another identity, that is, Yashayuki's mother.

It may sound unbelievable, how could anyone believe that the daughter of Hachishaku-sama, the strongest person in the clan, is actually a loser who cannot practice magic skills.

Yashaku Yuki's situation had never happened before. If her body shape didn't exactly match Yashaku-sama's description, the other tribesmen might not have believed that this guy was from the same tribe...

Because of this, Yashayuki gradually began to be looked down upon by his fellow tribesmen, and was even called "the shame of Yashaki".

According to Yasha Kei's research, her daughter possessed a strange spiritual power since she was born, which was an extremely violent spiritual power.
