I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

Opening his eyes, Inoue Ueya looked at the unfamiliar ceiling and found that something was wrong.

Miss Sadako, who was sitting next to him, closed her eyes and fell asleep beside him. He seemed to be lying on a hospital bed. Then he smelled the pungent smell of disinfectant...

Is this a hospital?

Looking around, there seemed to be only this one bed in the room, and Inoue Ueya seemed to be staying in a single room.

"Wait, isn't the cost of a single room very expensive?"

He wanted to get up from the bed, but he found that his whole body was tied up with bandages, making his movements very difficult.

"Tsk, I knew it. You haven't been humiliated recently, so you became like this all of a sudden?" Inoue Ueya said gritting his teeth.

"Hmm..." Miss Sadako next to her rubbed her eyes, woke up from her sleep, and showed a surprised expression when she saw Inoue Ueya.

"Hey, good morning, Sadako." Inoue Ueya said with an embarrassed look on his face.

Hearing this, Sadako showed an angry expression and shouted loudly: "It's not good at all, stupid Ueya, you have been in a coma for five days! Do you know how worried I am about you!"

Looking at Sadako hugging him tightly, Inoue Ueya suddenly became at a loss. He could only smile helplessly and reached out to touch her head.

"Don't worry, am I okay?"

"Hmph, you must explain what happened later!"

"I know, I know……"

……

Having said that, because Inoue Ueya's injuries are a bit exaggerated, he still needs to stay in the hospital for observation for the time being.

"Well, a concussion, a severely fractured left hand, multiple abrasions on the body, and minor burns. It seems like this really scared the family..."

According to Sadako, other family members seemed to have come to take care of her during these few days.

However, after seeing Sadako looking haggard, Inoue Ue decided to let her go home and rest first.

"Anyway, I'm awake now, Sadako, you should go back and rest first."

"Huh? Can you really take care of yourself by yourself?" Sadako asked doubtfully.

"Okay, just go and have some sleep..."

After a long while, Inoue Ue watched Sadako disappear into the TV and sighed.

"Oh, come on, Mr. Inoue has become the one being worried about this time."

Inoue Ueya shook his head, stood up and prepared to go to the bathroom.

"Speaking of which, is Kuin okay?"

Before she lost consciousness, something seemed to be wrong with her.

"Don't get into trouble, Kuin..."

After he finished speaking, Inoue Ueya turned on the faucet in the bathroom and prepared to wash his face.

【Don't worry, at least you have tried your best, right? 】

Hearing this, Inoue Ue was suddenly stunned.

"Is that you, Yasin? After leaving the dream, you can actually communicate with me?"

"Don't forget, you and I are one..."

This time the voice did not come from his mind, but from near Inoue Ueya, so he subconsciously raised his head and saw a girl in the mirror looking at him carefully.

"Fuck!"

Caught off guard, Inoue Ueya was frightened by the mirror and took several steps back.

【calm down. 】

The girl in the mirror sighed and waved at him.

I took a closer look at the girl in the mirror. She had short brown-red hair, golden eyes, a pair of devilish horns on her head, and she was wearing a red men's evening gown. On her back grew a pair of handsome jet-black wings...

"You are Yasin? Why do you look like this? Where are those features that gleam with fire? And..."

Although she was wearing men's clothes, her figure betrayed her; the other person was obviously a girl.

Something is wrong. There is something wrong with the "Yasen" in front of me!

The personality mask should be another self, but why is Yasin a girl?

Moreover, the other self in the mirror...

——So Mr. Inoue can now transform into Den-O II?

"Are you really Arsen?" Inoue Ueya was still a little unconvinced and asked again.

[Well, I'm not sure about the details, but after returning to the real world, my body became like this.]

"In that dream, was Kuin okay in the end?"

Arsen, who was in the mirror, was silent for a moment and just shook his head.

[…and disappeared along with that dream.]

"That's it."

Inoue Ueya took a deep breath, washed his face, and then walked back to the ward with his head down.

"Really? I clearly said I'd come over to see this world, so why did you just disappear like that?"

Inoue Ueya still felt a little reluctant about Kuin's disappearance.

"In the end, I still didn't save Kuin."

Inoue Ueya lay on the hospital bed, his vision gradually becoming blurred. "Didn't that idiot say he would overcome the resentment of the past himself? Why did he disappear like that..."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from beside me.

"Ahhhh, Jingye, are you crying?"

Chapter 104 Welcome to the Inoue Family

Hearing the familiar voice, Inoue Ueya immediately turned around and looked.

What came into view was the disappeared Kuin, who was looking at Inoue Ueya with a smile on her face.

"Kuin, is it really you?"

"Ahahaha, although I thought I was going to disappear, it seems that I was just liberated from that dream..."

As if sensing Inoue Ueya's gaze, Kuin felt a little embarrassed and unconsciously turned her eyes away from him.

"Jingye, can I still stay by your side now?"

"Isn't this only natural? Stay in this world, Mr. Inoue, and don't disappear so easily again!"

Inoue Ueya could no longer suppress his inner emotions, and tears overflowed from his eyes.

Hearing this, Kuin smiled brightly, reached out and hugged Inoue Ueya, and said softly: "I'm back..."

"Well, welcome back!"

Click——

At this time, the door of the ward was opened, and the visitors were the girls from the Inoue family.

"Hey! Inoue, how's your recovery going—"

Before she could finish her words, Hanako Natsukawa saw Inoue Ueya being hugged by Kuin, and her expression gradually became ferocious.

"You guy... you just woke up, and you're already flirting with girls?"

"What's going on here? Can you explain it to me, stupid Zhiye?"

Miss Sadako took out an axe from somewhere with a strange smile on her face.

Although she had indeed been sent home to rest, after thinking about it carefully, she was still worried about leaving Inoue Ueya alone in the hospital, so she brought other girls here.

"Ahhhhh, is my husband being unfaithful again?"

Similarly, Yashayuki became strange. She lost her usual gentleness, and a shadow of love appeared in her eyes. It seemed that she had entered a state of blood running wild. But now she stared at Inoue Ueya with an expressionless face, and an inexplicable sense of oppression emanated from her body.

"All of you go away, Onii-chan is mine!"

"Well, after Ueye-kun woke up, things suddenly became lively..." Iwanaga Kotoko sighed.

……

After calming the three excited girls, Inoue Ueya told everyone everything that had happened so far.

"Does the dream world of the Book of Shadows also contain 'Personalities'?" Sadako said with a thoughtful expression.

"Um, can you see Yassen?"

Everyone watched as Inoue Ueya raised his turned-off phone, but the screen did not reflect his appearance, but that of a beautiful woman in men's clothing.

"Please give me your guidance. My name is Yasen, and I am the persona of Inoue Ueya."

"Is this the new power that Inoue has obtained?" Hanako Natsukawa looked at Arsen on the screen with a curious expression.

In fact, Miss Sadako is not unfamiliar with the power of "Personality Mask". As the urban legend "Sadako", she has the ability to travel through the television world.

A long time ago, she witnessed a group of humans in the TV world using abilities similar to what Inoue Ueya described, but they used tarot cards instead of masks.

Although it is not known why Inoue Ueya's personality mask turned into a girl, according to Inoue Ueya, the ability of this "personality mask" can basically only be used in special worlds and spaces, and cannot be used in the real world.

The girl "Yasen" is nothing to be afraid of, and her threat can be almost ignored!

This is the conclusion that Miss Sadako came to.

【But the girl in front of me...】

Sadako frowned and looked at Kuin, carefully examining the girl who had just walked out of her dream.

"Come to think of it, that book of sorcery at home also seems to have disappeared, on the day when Zhiye was injured and fell into a coma."

"This is because..." Kuin thought for a while, waved his left hand towards Inoue Ueya, and a ball of dark light emerged from his body, and the Book of Shadows appeared in Kuin's hand.

"Actually, the Book of Shadows claimed the well as its master without my knowledge..."

"Huh? Is this why Mr. Inoue entered that dream?"

"Well, with the collapse of the dream, the Book of Shadows has completely recognized Jingye as its master, but my soul is still preserved in this book, so..."

"so?"

Inoue Ueya suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I'll be grateful for your guidance from now on, my master!"

"H-Master?"

Sadako couldn't help but scream loudly.

As if sensing Sadako's gaze, Kuin subconsciously met her gaze. Suddenly remembering something, he smiled and said, "Well... if I'm not mistaken, you should be Sadako herself, right? I often mention you in my dreams..."

Before she could finish her words, Inoue Ueya beside her covered her mouth.

Then, Inoue Ue whispered to Kuin: "Hey, hey, please keep the contents of the dream a secret for me!"

"But……"

At this moment, a hand was placed on Inoue Ueya's shoulder, holding him tightly.

Inoue Ueya suddenly became stiff, sweating profusely, and stopped talking.

The other person was Miss Sadako. With a forced smile, she said to Kuin, "I'm also curious, what did that idiot Zhiye say?"

"Well, he said you sleep badly and often use people as pillows..."

Miss Sadako continued to keep a smile on her face, but she reached out and fiercely pinched Inoue Ueya's waist, and said in a calm tone: "Ueya, you have become bolder. You actually dare to look down on me?"
