I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

So Inoue Ue also walked to the entrance and opened the door.

What comes into view is the Hanakaiin Pomelo.

"Good afternoon, Inoue-senpai."

Hanakaiin saw Inoue Ueya opening the door and bowed slightly.

"Oh, you're here, Huakaiyuan."

Inoue Ueya was not at all surprised by the appearance of Hanakaiin Yuura.

Ever since she asked her to help Yashayuki control his spiritual power, she would come to the Inoue family from time to time to look for Sachiko.

Well, although Inoue Ue also vaguely realized that Miss Sadako's cooking was one of the reasons that attracted her here.

After all, Hanakaiin Yuura, a junior high school student, came all the way here from Kyoto. I heard that she lives alone. Her life must not be too convenient, right?

——Anyway, if there's anything you can do to help her, then try your best to help her. This girl's life isn't easy either...

Moreover, one more person means more fun, and Inoue Ue doesn't hate this feeling.

Then, Inoue Ueya took her to the living room and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go call Sachiko out."

When they reached the door of Yashakuyuki's room, Inoue Ueya knocked on the door.

"Sachiko? Hanakaiin is here to see you?"

There was no response from Inoue Ueya. The door was slightly opened, and then a white hand pulled him in.

Then the door was closed again.

In the room, Yasashi Yuki pouted his lips, said nothing, and looked at Inoue Ueya silently.

"What's wrong?" Inoue Ueya had a bad feeling in his heart.

"My dear husband, you agree to our engagement, right?"

Oh no, is it still the same topic as before?

"...I'll tell you the truth, Mr. Inoue, you are not mentally prepared to get married yet. At least in the next few years, I don't want to be dominated by your wife!" Inoue Ueya said seriously.

"Hey, speaking of which, what is henpecked?"

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, Hua Kaiyuan is still waiting for you outside, so don't keep her waiting for too long..."

As he said that, Inoue Ueya took Yashayuki's hand and walked out of the room. After watching the two of them leave, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

call--

As expected of me, I solved a crisis so easily.

However, he did not expect that Yashayuki still remembered his words.

The two came to the park for spiritual training.

But Yashayuki suddenly remembered what Inoue Ueya said and asked Hanakaiin Yuura, "Hey, Yuura-chan, do you know what "henpecked" means? "

"???"

Why did Yashayuki suddenly ask such a question?

Uh, if I tell her, will something else happen later...

Wait, when you think about it this way, it seems very interesting.

Hanakaiin Yuura's lips curled up slightly, and this talented girl seemed to have awakened some strange attributes in her heart inadvertently.

"Hmm, let me think... the so-called henpecked husband, in simple terms, is a husband who is strictly controlled by his wife and has to obey her orders, right?"

"Why are you afraid of your wife?" Yashayuki asked in confusion.

"It's not necessarily fear, actually. There are many hidden dangers here. It's also possible that the wife is a very strict person and has very high expectations of her husband, which makes him feel a lot of psychological pressure..."

……

After a long time, Yashayuki and his companion returned to the Inoue family from the park.

"We're back!"

After he finished speaking, Yashayuki walked directly into Inoue Ueya's room and saw Inoue Ueya, Miss Mary and Natsukawa Hanako sitting in front of the computer.

"Oh, Sachiko, you're back... Hey, Hanako, get out of the way quickly, Sullivan's attack range is very large!"

"Don't worry, with my combat experience, there's no way I can lose to a guy like that. If he can kill me in an instant, I'll—!"

Before she could finish her words, the character controlled by Hanako was hit and let out a scream. Then a familiar image with red text on a black background came into view.

【YOU DIED】

"Hahaha..." Inoue Ue couldn't help but make a gloating sound.

Hanako slumped in the chair, closed her eyes, and gave up thinking. "Ah, I'm dead. I don't want to play anymore."

Inoue Ue also shook his head. Hanako was like this every time she lost, but after taking a break, she would continue playing again.

Then, Inoue Ue came to his senses and turned to look at Yashaku Yuki who had an anxious expression.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you making that expression?"

"My dear husband, Sachiko has something very important to say - I will never be a strict wife!"

"what?"

Yashayuki didn't explain, he just walked up and hugged Inoue Ueya.

"So please feel free to marry me!"

"Why did it suddenly..."

Hmm, could it be that someone told Sachiko something?

Could it be Huakaiyuan?

No, that's impossible. She doesn't seem like such a shameless person. With Hanakaiin's intelligence, if Sachiko asked, she should have guessed something and changed the subject...

I have to say that Inoue Ueya still has a very good impression of this talented girl.

"Actually, Sachiko isn't a greedy person. After marrying my husband and giving birth to six children, I'll be satisfied."

Yashayuki gradually became immersed in his own fantasy.

"Calm down and wake up, Sachiko!"

Chapter 83: Have a pleasant journey

After being ravaged by Yashaku Yuki for a while, Inoue Ue finally escaped with the help of Hanako and Mari.

"Really? I understand how you feel, Sachiko, but as a girl, it's better not to do anything strange all of a sudden..."

"Wow, I see."

Speaking of which, Inoue Ueya's private time seems to have gradually disappeared recently.

Putting aside Yashakuyuki, Miss Hanako at least had a bit of girlish reserve before, but after getting along for a long time...

It seemed that he was not even safe reading a book in the toilet now.

For some unknown reason, she seemed to be able to sense when Inoue Ueya turned on his phone in the bathroom. Every time, she would suddenly use her ability to teleport in and sneak in to watch. After Mr. Inoue had seen half of what was happening, she would speak behind him.

Recalling the terrible experience, Inoue Ue couldn't help but sigh.

If they continue to be allowed to continue like this, it would be terrible if one day Inoue Ueya woke up and saw someone sleeping next to him and asked him to take responsibility.

Although it’s true that all the girls in my family are beauties…

Wait, it seems like I didn’t suffer any loss?

No, no, no, the men in the Inoue family have been gentlemen for generations. It is really rude to think like that!

Inoue Ueya shook his head, trying to forget the strange thoughts in his mind.

——Wake up, Inoue Ueya, this kind of preaching is necessary.

……

As the sky darkened, dinner time began at the Inoue family's house.

"I'm gonna start now!"

Tonight's dinner is a tempura set meal specially prepared by Miss Sadako.

Black tiger prawns, squid, and edamame are all commonly used ingredients for tempura.

Hanakaiin Yuura took a bite and showed a satisfied expression, then a blush gradually appeared on her face.

Although Inoue Ueya knows that Miss Sadako’s cooking is delicious, isn’t the expression of this young Onmyoji a bit exaggerated?

Come to think of it, tempura is a rare dish even at the Inoue family.

The main reason is that eating too much can easily cause getting a sore throat, so considering health issues, Miss Sadako only makes tempura once in a long time.

Suddenly, Hanakaiin Yuura remembered something.

"By the way, I may not be able to come to tomorrow's spiritual training, because-"

Because she was going to Twisting Eye Mountain with the Seijusi Odd Detective Team tomorrow. Since it was Golden Week, they had decided to take advantage of this opportunity to go on an adventure. It was said that Twisting Eye Mountain was home to many legends about monsters, so they planned to go there and take a look...

Well, for her, that should be a good place to practice, right?

And if there really were any dangerous monsters in Twisting Eye Mountain, she couldn't let a group of ordinary people like them take risks.

Therefore, Hanakaiin Yuura had to skip Yashayuki's spiritual power control training. Anyway, the paper people used for training had been given to Yashayuki, and she was only there to observe the situation and give her some advice.

"Is that so? I see."

Inoue Ueya and Iwanaga Kotoko looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.

The plot seems to have started again.

Anyway, let's focus on protecting Hanakaiin Yuura this time. Although she is a powerful Onmyoji, she always fails at the critical moment...

——However, she hasn't encountered any danger that she can't handle, so it's better not to intervene directly, as it might indirectly affect her future growth.

"Well, I wish you a pleasant journey..."

Inoue Ueya looked at Hanakaiin Yuura with pity, hoping that nothing would happen to her this time.

……

After dinner, Inoue Ueya sent Hanakaiin Yuura home as usual.

But this time there was one more person.

Miss Mary was riding on Inoue Ueya's shoulders, looking at the surrounding scenery with curiosity, "Onii-chan, the streets at night are cooler than I thought..."

"Yeah, so I told you not to come out."

"No, we clearly agreed that Mary would stay with Onii-chan the whole day, so you can't give up halfway!"

"……whatever."

Hanakaiin Yuura looked at the little girl on Inoue Ueya's body with envy. Since she came to Chiba, she gradually changed her view of strange existence.

Unlike the Tsukumogami she had met before, the Mary in front of her was almost like an ordinary little girl apart from this. She would not have any malice towards humans, would not do strange things, and was very cute. Even she wanted to raise a Mary.

“That’s great…”

"What?" Inoue Ue was also puzzled.

"No, it's nothing."

Continuing walking on the street, Inoue Ueya finally tried to remind her in a subtle way not to underestimate the monsters of Twisting Eye Mountain. It was not known whether she understood it or not, but she just nodded and walked into the apartment.

Inoue Ueya shook his head and turned back home.

When he returned home, he found Hanako once again sitting on the computer chair in her room, engaged in a tough battle with Sullivan.

"Ah ...
