I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

Inoue Ueya sighed, took off his belt and ended his transformation.

"So? Who are you? And why do you have Zeronos's belt?"

The opponent in front of him canceled his transformation, and Zeronos also pulled out a card from his belt. As the card in his hand turned into a ray of light and dissipated, Kato Megumi appeared in front of Inoue Ueya.

"You've kept me waiting, Den-O."

For some reason, Kato Megumi looked at Inoue Ueya with a hint of resentment in her eyes, as if she was a little dissatisfied with him.

Inoue Ueya was also confused.

Is the person who transformed into Zeronos Kato Megumi?

Kato Megumi has no sense of existence, and the card used by Zeronos when transforming will consume other people's memories of her...

This is so tragic. Which lunatic gave her Zeronos's belt?

"Wait, are you aware of my existence?"

If I heard correctly, Kato Megumi just said "keep her waiting", right?

"It's half and half. Den-O has known about it for a long time, but he doesn't know your true identity." Kato Megumi nodded.

Hearing this, Inoue Ueya turned to look at the slit-mouthed woman next to him, as if he had guessed something, and asked with a surprised expression: "So you are..."

"Nice to meet you. I'm the slit-mouthed woman, Xiaohui's contractor. Please give me your guidance!"

It's not an urban legend transformed by the system contract, but also the belt of Kato Reinos.

There is no answer to guess. Either there are other system holders in this world, or is it something done by my future self?

Inoue Ueya sighed and then said, "Whatever happens, could you explain this to me?"

In any case, Kato Megumi should at least know some of the information, right?

……

In the cafe, the three are waiting for Miss Sadako to come back.

"stare--"

Kato Megumi just stared at Inoue Ueya with sharp eyes without saying a word.

"Um, is there anything I can help you with?" Inoue Ueya felt uncomfortable because of the look from Kato Megumi who was sitting opposite him.

Kato Megumi was a little curious about what this "Den-O" had to do with her future self.

Her future self said that she wanted to change the future and save an important person.

But what she was asked to do was to fight against the Demon God on behalf of the Electric King...

Kato Megumi also asked the slit-mouthed woman this question after this, but every time when this happened, the slit-mouthed woman would look shy and try to change the subject.

So, she subconsciously began to guess, could the "important person" who needed to be rescued be the "Dian Wang" she mentioned?

Chapter 93 Something has been changed

After a long time, Miss Sadako finally returned to the cafe.

She sat next to Inoue Ueya, looking at Kato Megumi and Slit-mouthed Woman opposite her.

"Ueya, are these the Zeronos you're talking about?"

"Well, I don't know what happened, but she did use Zeronos's belt to transform."

Inoue Ueya looked at Kato Megumi with a look of pity.

To be honest, the side effect of Zeronos' transformation consuming other people's memories of themselves is too exaggerated. Although he just saw her use the green card, the memories consumed should not belong to the present time, but Inoue Ueya still couldn't understand why Kato Megumi chose to use it.

And then there was the matter of the Demonic Gods. Although this broken system had originally planned to find Demonic God contracts on its own, Inoue Ue had never encountered them, so he gradually forgot about them. He had never imagined that Demonic Gods actually existed in this world...

"Now that everyone is here, can you tell me how much you know about Zeronos's transformation belt and the purpose of the Demon God?" Inoue Ueya looked at the silent Kato Megumi, wanting to hear relevant information from her.

Kato Megumi nodded. "My name is Kato Megumi. The incident originated a few years ago. At that time, I met myself from the future..."

Next, Kato Megumi told the two of them what happened in the past.

As she listened, Miss Sadako seemed to have guessed something, and the look she gave Inoue Ueya gradually became strange. "Oh, 'until Den-O appears'?"

"Well, now that you, the Den-O, have appeared, my mission is probably over, right?"

Inoue Ue also felt the particularly glaring gaze from Sadako, and he broke out in a sweat. He shrugged his back and put on an innocent expression.

No, even if that is the case, Kato Megumi obtaining the power of Zeronos in the future may not necessarily have anything to do with him!

What a joke! If I got this belt, I would seal it permanently in the system space and would never use it to harm anyone.

"For this reason, I received the belt and card from my future self and have been battling the Other Demons for several years now. Even now, I still don't know much about them. From the bits and pieces I've heard during battle, they seem to be beings from another time and space. Their purpose is unclear, and they don't seem to be obsessed with returning to the past. However, contracts seem to affect the existence of the Other Demons, so they will still enforce the contracts they sign with the contractors..."

After a brief pause, Kato Megumi looked at Inoue Ueya and asked, "Although my future self said that once Den-O appears, I won't have to fight alone anymore, I still want to understand your thoughts first. Are you really willing to help?"

Inoue Ueya sighed and said slowly, "To be honest, I also became the Electric King a few years ago. I even thought that the Demon Gods in the stories didn't actually exist in this world. Until today, when I encountered the Demon God for the first time, I didn't expect that someone had been fighting here silently before..."

Why would the future Kato Megumi let the present version of herself fight against the alien demon on her behalf?

Is this the reason why I haven't encountered the alien demon before?

Is this because if I keep fighting, I will encounter some unexpected events?

In an instant, a bunch of questions emerged in Inoue Ueya's mind.

However, now that he knew that his help was needed, Inoue Ue didn't intend to sit idly by. Besides, if Kato Megumi continued to fight with Zeronos' belt, she would sooner or later run into trouble...

"I will help with the matter regarding the alien demon god."

Hearing this, Kato Megumi nodded and took out her cell phone from her pocket.

"Well, let's exchange contact information. If I encounter a different demon god, I will notify you."

While the two were exchanging contact information, a long-haired Kato Megumi was sitting near the crowd. She listened to their conversation and nodded secretly.

[The plan has been going smoothly so far. Now it all depends on whether Ueya-kun can free the witch in the Book of Shadows...]

Then, the long-haired girl paid the bill, left the cafe, and disappeared into the busy street.

……

After returning home, Inoue Ueya told everything that happened today.

This trip wasn't without results. At least he knew that after training, he had become a better fighter, even though his fighting style was a bit...

——Hanako’s fighting style is similar to this, so there shouldn’t be any problem if I do this!

Anyway, before he had the train form, his platform form only had the characteristic of being more durable, and he still needed to rely on them in combat, so it should be fine for him to grow at this rate, right?

"A strange demon god? That's really exciting..." Hanako Natsukawa raised the corners of her mouth, revealing an excited expression.

"Well, if the scenes aren't too gory, Sachiko can join the battle, okay?"

"Mary doesn't mind fighting them if Onii-chan is willing!"

Seeing this, Inoue Ue finally breathed a sigh of relief. They seemed to have no objection to having to fight against the alien demon gods, which was great.

However, after hearing about Inoue Ueya's experience today, Iwanaga Kotoko took on a thoughtful expression and whispered, "A few years ago, the person from the future deliberately prevented Ueya from encountering the Demon God. But why is he allowed to come into contact with the Demon God now? Has something changed?"

If that were the case, if Inoue Ueya had encountered the Demon God from the very beginning, his future would have been different...

For example, the contract object or something?

As she thought about it, Iwanaga Kotoko frowned.

"Kotoko, what's wrong with you?"

Turning around, Inoue Ueya noticed that there was something wrong with Iwanaga Kotoko's expression.

"No, it's nothing."

Kotoko Iwanaga shook her head and stopped thinking about it. A guess is just a guess after all. Before there were more clues, she didn't intend to say what she thought, so as to prevent Inoue Ueya from having wild thoughts.

Inoue Ueya frowned and said softly, "If you have any troubles, you can always come to me and talk about it. Don't keep it in your heart. That's not good."

"Ah, can I really talk to Ueya-kun about my troubles?"

I saw a strange smile on Kotoko Iwanaga's face.

"Well, anytime." Obviously, Inoue Ueya didn't seem to notice anything wrong.

"Well, Ueya-kun, tell me, what do you think of that girl named Kato Megumi?"

As Kami finished speaking, the girls fell silent, focused their attention on Inoue Ueya, and pricked up their ears waiting for his answer.

"Huh?" Inoue Ueya looked confused.

Doesn't she trust Kato Megumi?

But it makes sense, after all, Iwanaga Kotoko has never met Saint Megumi in person...

Inoue Ueya thought for a while and answered hesitantly: "Well, she should be a gentle girl, right?

Chapter 94: Headache

"Oh?" Hanako Natsukawa narrowed her eyes and looked at Inoue Ueya carefully.

"It's just our first meeting, Inoue. You shouldn't be that familiar with him, right? Why do you have such thoughts?"

Hearing the change in Hanako's tone, Inoue Ueya was stunned for a moment, realizing that things were developing in a strange direction again.

"No, don't get me wrong. What I mean is that she is willing to sacrifice too many things for the battle. Not to mention that Zeronos' transformation requires a heavy price, and she was just a junior high school student when she first fought. She has been fighting from that time until now. These are all precious times in her life." Inoue Ueya sighed.

According to what Kato Megumi said, although the reason is unknown, she seems to be fighting the Demon God on behalf of Inoue Ueya. Although this is a commission from Kato Megumi from the future, after seeing Zeronos's belt and the slit-mouthed woman who was transformed into the Demon God, Inoue Ueya can probably guess that this matter should be related to his future self.

"Even so, when we met today, she didn't even complain about it, so I think she must be a gentle girl."

Another point is that Inoue Ueya vaguely still remembers Kato Megumi described in the original work. Although she is a little different now, he actually has a pretty good impression of her.

"really?"

Hanako looked at Inoue Ueya suspiciously, as if she still didn't quite believe what he said.

"Just like you said, this is just the first time we met. Is there any need to doubt me so much? Are Mr. Inoue's words really so unreliable?" Inoue Ue couldn't help but complain.

"Hmph, you, a stuffy pervert, still have the nerve to ask such a question..."

Hanako Natsukawa curled her lips, turned around and went back to Inoue Ueya's room to continue playing games.

Then, Inoue Ueya turned and looked at the other girls in the house.

"Sachiko just came back from exercise and needs to take a shower..."

"By the way, Mary also wants to play games with Hanako!"

But they didn't answer his questions and found excuses to run away.

"Wait, I'm not a repressed pervert!" Inoue Ueya sighed. It seemed that they had a big misunderstanding about him.

……

That night, Inoue Ueya once again entered the dreamland of the woods.

"So, Hanako really went too far this time. Mr. Inoue is clearly a gentleman, but she actually called him a sultry pervert..."

Inoue Ueya was complaining to Kuin about what happened today.

After spending some time together, Inoue Ueya's relationship with Kuin became better and better, as if he had another younger sister besides Mary.

So, he began to tell her from time to time about his daily encounters, and told the girl who was trapped in the dream about his daily experiences.

Listening to Inoue Ueya's story, Kuin felt a little envious.

"You two have a really good relationship."

It is worth mentioning that after several days of communication, her speech finally stopped being intermittent.

"What the hell is this? It's obviously a bad relationship!"

Kuin tilted her head and said in confusion, "Is it because we're so close that you say that?"

"Well, I always feel that this statement is a bit strange."

For some reason, the corners of Kuin's mouth began to rise slightly, "Hmm, from today on, Jing is just a sultry pervert!"

"Hey, why is it that even Kuin..."

Inoue Ueya felt a little helpless. Even Kuin said this to him. Is he really that kind of person?
