I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

The first one who couldn't help but act was Mary. She walked to Inoue Ueya and stared at Kuin angrily.

"That's enough, stop sitting on Onii-chan, this is my place!"

"Ah, aah, Mary wants to come too?" Inoue Ueya immediately stretched out his evil hand to Mary's head.

"Eh? Meow..."

After Kuin, a new victim appeared again. Mary gradually turned into a cat because of Inoue Ueya's head pat and lay obediently on his lap.

——Mary was completely defeated by Inoue Ueya.

Everyone looked at the two girls who had transformed into cats and fell silent for a while.

"So, so cute..."

Hanakaiin Yuura was watching with great interest, especially after seeing Kuin and Mary transformed into cats, for some reason she felt an urge to raise a cat.

Next, Yashayuki came over angrily, "I want my husband to pat my head, too!"

Inoue Ue was a little confused when he heard Yashayuki's request.

"Huh? Even if you put it that way..."

His legs gradually became numb, and Inoue Ueya realized that something was wrong.

Wait, isn't it dinner time?

Why did they come over one by one to ask him to touch their heads? Should they continue eating?

When I looked up, I saw that although Sadako, who was sitting next to me, didn't say anything, black energy was coming out of her body, and she seemed to be about to lose control and go crazy.

The same goes for Hanako. Now she is staring at Inoue Ueya with a weird look, which makes him feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.

This is not good, really not good!

Then, Inoue Ueya suddenly became serious, "Enough! It's dinner time now, Mary and you too, go back and eat properly!"

As he spoke, Inoue Ueya turned his gaze towards Kuin, who continued to transform into a cat, and began to hesitate again.

"Kuin, can you eat in this condition?"

In fact, he didn't quite understand Kuin's current physical condition, and he wasn't sure whether she needed to eat. After waking up from the hospital, Kuin had been sleeping most of the time except for the time she went out for a walk.

Chapter 118 I always feel something is weird

"Hmm, do you want to eat? This feels so troublesome. I'm obviously no longer a human being..."

Kuin continued to lie on Inoue Ueya's thighs, looking lazy, with no intention of getting up at all, and seemed to have no interest in eating.

"Don't say that. Do you want to taste it?"

As he spoke, Inoue Ueya picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of fried chicken from the bowl and handed it to Kuin.

However, Sadako, who was sitting next to him, saw this and picked up her chopsticks to block Inoue Ueya's chopsticks, preventing him from feeding Kunin successfully.

Then, before Inoue Ueya could react, Sadako nimbly used the chopsticks in her hand to snatch his fried chicken nuggets in the blink of an eye, then opened her mouth and ate them.

"???"

Inoue Ueya was also confused.

"Ueya, the injury on your left hand hasn't healed yet, right? So, let me feed her." Sadako said with a smile.

Although he saw that Sadako was smiling, Inoue Ueya always felt an inexplicable sense of oppression emanating from her.

Looking at Sadako who seemed to be about to go berserk at the next second, Inoue Ueya suddenly froze and sweat began to appear on his forehead unconsciously.

"Uh, then, I'll leave it to you..."

Next, Sadako dragged the lazy Kuin off his lap and took her aside to feed her.

Seeing Sadako, who was in an unknown state, taking Kuin away, Inoue Ueya subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

——That was a close call…

No, wait, why did Mr. Inoue suddenly become so cowardly?

The more Inoue Ue thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He always felt that something was strange.

"Sadako takes care of Kuin instead of the injured me", this is obviously a very normal thing, right?

What exactly is Mr. Inoue afraid of?

But it’s better this way. Let’s take this opportunity to let Kuin spend some time with the girls at home.

While Inoue Ueya was lost in thought, Sadako had already started feeding Kun. She held the fried chicken nuggets with chopsticks in one hand, and held the other hand open, blocking the bottom of the chopsticks to prevent the food from falling to the ground.

"Come on, open your mouth, ah——"

Kuin looked at the girl in front of her with curiosity in her eyes. She was Sadako, whom Inoue Ueya often mentioned in his dreams. She had seen her once in the hospital, but because she was in a sleeping state most of the time afterwards, she was still not very familiar with this girl.

Well, after all, we will be staying in the same house, so it would be difficult for me to refuse his kindness.

Come to think of it, Inoue Ue also seemed to have mentioned that the dishes Sadako made herself were all delicious...

She did not refuse Sadako's feeding and ate the fried chicken nuggets she handed to her directly.

After chewing for a while, Kuin, who was still in a lazy state, suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.

"Mmm! So delicious..."

At this moment, she tasted a delicious taste she had never tasted before.

Delicious food! This was a delicacy that completely surpassed her imagination!

Although Kuin recalled her memories of her past life, it was just that such delicious food did not exist in her time. So when Inoue Ue asked her to try these dishes just now, she did not feel any interest...

Thanks to Sadako's cooking, the witch lady from the Middle Ages finally experienced the beauty of this era.

"If you like, eat more, okay?"

Looking at the smiling Sadako, Kuin gradually felt that this girl was not as scary as Inoue Ueya said.

His mood swings and the occasional night raids were probably just some joke Inoue Ueya was playing on himself.

"Please give me your guidance from now on, Kuin."

……

While Inoue Ueya was still eating dinner, Yu Zhang became a little anxious.

"Damn it, what on earth did that alien demon god do..."

As the successor of the power of the Hidden God Geubu Tanuki and the leader of the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Demons Night Parade, Yu Zhang found that he seemed to be being targeted by the police while he was out for a walk.

Although Yu Zhang used his magical powers to control them, he heard something bad.

He discovered that the guy who called himself the Demon God was attacking passers-by everywhere and distributing posters with his own image on them to the victims.

"No wonder I've been feeling the fear in my body growing at an incredible rate lately. So this is what's going on..."

Looking at the content on his phone, Yu Zhang's face turned grim, and he shouted, "How ridiculous! What the hell is this 'narcissistic, chuunibyou, eccentric person in a suit'? Do they think the Demon God is me?"

In addition to the distorted rumors, many people changed his posters into various meaningless memes, causing him to inexplicably become popular on the Internet and become a famous unknown figure in an instant.

Suddenly, he felt that the endless "fear" in his body had lost its appeal. Although he did desire fame, narcissism and the second-year syndrome were too outrageous.

"Tsk, it's better not to have this fear..." Yu Zhang said angrily.

However, "fear" is not something that can be discarded by simply saying no. After all, this power comes from human beings' "reverence" for it, so how can it disappear just like that?

Although after learning the truth, he began to feel that the purity of this "fear" was a bit low. People's impression of him was that he was a complete psychopath...

But Yu Zhang thought about it carefully for a while and realized that most monsters are not exposed to human technology, so they may not know about their own social death.

No, I must not take it lightly at this critical moment. Once this matter is exposed to the world of monsters, let alone becoming the leader of monsters, I will probably never be able to get rid of this stigma.

Yu Zhang gradually calmed down and began to think seriously.

"No! Think about it calmly. Reputation is ultimately illusory. If this can make me stronger, then..."

Compared to what others think of him, the "fear" he gets from the Internet can make him stronger quickly, so what's wrong with that?

If you think in a positive way, he still gained a lot this time. For example, this "fear" alone is probably enough for him to have a good fight with the Nura clan.

Why did he feel that compared to a fragile antique like the "Devil's Hammer", this network created by humans seemed to be more useful for his own strengthening?

If he could master this method of extracting fear, he wouldn't have to abandon his reputation, and he could also continue to grow stronger...

"Interesting. If human technology can so easily acquire fear..."

Yu Zhang suddenly remembered something and gave an intriguing smile.

Chapter 119 I really can't do anything with you

"Um, Senior Inoue, do you know about the strange things from Shikoku?" Hanakaiin Yuura looked at Inoue Ueya's left hand, wanting to say something but stopping herself. After hesitating for a moment, she finally said it.

"Monster? I know a little about it. Did anything happen to you?" When asked by Hanakaiin Yuura, Inoue Ue also remembered the sleeve-clothed god who was defeated by Kuin.

"actually……"

When Inoue Ueya fell into a coma, Hanakaiin Yuura originally planned to go to the hospital to see him, but she encountered a monster attacking humans on the way. The monster was the "Whip" monster from Shikoku that could control the wind.

As an Onmyoji, Hanakaiin Yuura naturally would not sit idly by and rushed forward to save people.

But when she had been fighting with the "whip" for a while, it suddenly screamed with a terrified expression, as if it had been attacked by something, and then disappeared directly, and the "fear" on its body gradually disappeared along with it.

Considering that the escaped "Whip" might come back again, Hanakaiin Yuura had to give up visiting the hospital and try to find its trace.

"Well, if there's no reason, most monsters will just stay where they live, and from what that guy said..."

During the battle, Hanakaiin Yuura heard some information, such as that many powerful monsters from Shikoku have come to Chiba, and seem to want to challenge Nura and snatch their "fear".

"Actually, I also encountered the Shikoku Sleeve God near the hospital. Thanks to Kuin, I was not successfully attacked by it..."

Judging from the time, it should be about time for Shikoku to fight against the Nura clan, right?

"The Demon King's Hammer", that awful demon sword, if I destroy it now...

"Well, it's not good to just watch them mess around." Inoue Ueya pondered.

Hearing this, Hanako's face lit up with excitement, and she immediately said, "Oh, that's great! I can finally fight monsters!"

"Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, the opponent's strength may not be as strong as you think, Hanako..." Inoue Ueya shook his head.

After dinner, Inoue Ueya sent Hanakaiin Yuura home as usual. Although she was injured this time, in order to avoid any accidents, he used the Den-Liner to send the Onmyoji girl directly to her home.

Anyway, she lived alone after coming to Chiba from Kyoto, so Inoue Ue didn't have to worry about being seen by others when they suddenly appeared in this room.

The two walked out of Hanakaiin Yuura's closet.

"Hey, why are you here?" Hanakaiin Yuura was a little surprised.

"Well, this is another ability of the Den-Liner. It's similar to the effect of a portal, but the connection location might be a bit strange. Since my left hand hasn't fully healed yet, I won't be driving the time train this time..."

As he spoke, Inoue Ueya secretly glanced around and found that the Onmyoji girl's room was unexpectedly simple and not as gorgeous as he had imagined.

Well, after all, she was sent here to gain experience, and the Huakaiyuan family couldn't possibly give her too much money.

But is it really okay for a girl to live here alone?

This child has had a hard time...

Inoue Ueya looked at Hanakaiin Yuura with a hint of pity in his eyes, "Well, if there's anything you need help with, just tell me, Mr. Inoue will help you."

"what?"

Hanakaiin Yuura had a puzzled expression on her face, totally confused as to what Inoue Ueya meant.

"Then I'll be leaving first."

"Well, thank you, Inoue-senpai."

Inoue Ueya waved his hand and walked back to the Desert of Time.

A moment later, he opened the door to his home from the Desert of Time. With a flash of rainbow light, he walked out of the kitchen cupboard this time.

"Well, it's better than walking out of someone else's room, right?"

Sadako found that Inoue Ueya had returned, and immediately took him to the room, saying that she had something important to tell him.

"Why did you suddenly call me into the room? Is there something wrong?" Inoue Ueya looked confused.
