I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

The teacher wrote the question on the blackboard, then turned to look at "Inoue Ueya". His expression gradually became surprised, and he subconsciously rubbed his eyes.

Strange, has this withdrawn student changed at all?

……

After a long time, Inoue Ueya rubbed his head and opened his eyes with difficulty. He looked at Yukinoshita Yukino sitting next to him and the sunset outside the window, and he was completely stunned.

"???"

——Shit, how come it turned into dusk the moment I closed my eyes and opened them again? Could it be that Mr. Inoue, who became the Den-O, finally awakened some time ability?

[You finally woke up. I had to go through a hard time teaching for you today...]

So that's how it is. It was just Yasen who was helping me, not me awakening any new skills.

[Well, anyway, I really need to thank you for your help this time, Yasen.]

"Well, you're awake."

At this moment, Inoue Ueya realized that Yukinoshita Yukino had been staring at him, and the expression on her face seemed a little...

Pity?

"Um, good morning?"

For some reason, when he woke up, he found himself in the Kamen Rider Club and was sitting next to her. He didn't know what that guy Arsen did with his body.

There was at least one thing he had to do right now, which was to keep some distance from the second young lady sitting next to him, so as to prevent her from suddenly going berserk and hitting someone.

Without thinking too much, Inoue Ueya stood up and sat on the chair that was originally closer to the door. However, he didn't notice that Yukinoshita Yukino had unconsciously curled her lips...

After saying goodbye to the second young lady as usual, Inoue Ue went home alone.

"Oh, I'm so unlucky today..."

"Come to think of it, can't you use the Den-Liner to get around? Why didn't you use it this morning?"

"Eh?"

Hearing Yasen's question, Inoue Ueya suddenly stopped and looked shocked.

【Could it be that you forgot? 】

In fact, because what happened in the morning happened too suddenly, Inoue Ue forgot that the time train could be used as a portal, and he started running subconsciously.

So he decided to change the subject.

"Arsen, do you know? If the time train teleports Mr. Inoue to the women's restroom and someone finds out, it will not just be a matter of being late. So if you use this teleportation ability to go to school, you may have to pay a terrible price. As a gentleman, I would never do such a thing..." Inoue Ueya said seriously.

[Hmm, so did you forget that you could use the time train's teleportation ability this morning?]

Facing Arsen's questioning, Inoue Ueya sighed, gave up refuting, and said with a wry smile: "Really, if you remembered, you could have reminded me at that time, and Mr. Inoue wouldn't have been late..."

"Hmm, that won't do. Your problems should be solved by yourself as much as possible. That way you can grow. And isn't it strange to have another self remind you of your problems?"

"...Whatever, as long as you like it." Inoue Ueya shrugged and continued walking home.

Chapter 128: Idol?

Back to an earlier time, Yu Zhang returned to the base panting, as if he had just finished an intense workout. The leader of the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Demons Night Parade had gone out with confidence, but ended up returning in disgrace.

"Whoosh..."

This is no wonder. He had just been chased by Inoue Ueya and had tried his best to escape. After getting rid of the crisis of death, his tense nerves relaxed.

"In the end, I still used my supernatural powers to escape..."

Judging from the special effect of the scattered leaves under the supernatural power, it is estimated that the unknown boy has guessed his true identity.

—Damn it, I, Yu Zhang, am the leader of the Shikoku team after all. Am I going to be socially disgraced for something like this?

Taking a deep breath, Yu Zhang tried to suppress the uneasiness in his heart and forced himself to calm down.

"No, things aren't that serious yet. After all, the other party hasn't seen my true appearance. At worst, I won't disguise myself as a demon god to attack humans anymore..."

Come to think of it, it’s almost time. Inugami should have figured out how to use that camera by now, right?

Then, what happened next was that I, Yuzhang, appeared on the Internet, became an idol with my amazing charm, and then gained a lot of "fear" and defeated the Nura clan.

However, the support from Shikoku has almost arrived, and their battle with the Nura group should be coming to an end.

At the latest, by tomorrow, they will need to declare war on the Nura clan.

As the number of monsters coming from the four countries increases, it is only a matter of time before the location of their stronghold is discovered. If they do not take the initiative to attack first, their advantages as outsiders will disappear, and their chances of winning against local monsters will be greatly reduced.

If Yu Zhang wants to gain a lot of "fear" on the Internet in a short period of time, then he needs to think carefully about the content he wants to shoot.

"Because of the limited time, if the film's content is too bland, it won't gain much 'fear'. Also, in order to avoid social disgrace or something, the identity must be slightly concealed, so..."

……

meeting room.

Yuzhang called all his cadres over and said that there was an important matter that required their assistance.

Yu Zhang looked around at everyone in the room. Aside from the missing Sleeve God, the "Seven People Traveling Together" had finally reunited. "The Seven People Traveling Together: Dog God, Dog Phoenix, Crochet Girl, An Yai Xiao Monk, Night Sparrow, Hand Washing Ghost, and Sleeve God..."

"Come to think of it, the monsters from Shikoku are almost here. Lord Yuzhang suddenly called us here. Does that mean he is finally ready to go to war with the Nura clan?" Tewashi Oni asked expectantly.

Hearing this, Yu Zhang nodded.

"As you expected, tomorrow night we will directly raid the Nura Clan. However, before that, in order to increase the chances of victory for Shikoku..."

After he finished speaking, Yu Zhang looked up at Inugami standing next to him and winked at him.

Inugami was stunned for a moment, then he remembered something and said with sudden enlightenment: "Don't worry, I have figured out how to use the camera!"

This is also thanks to the fact that Inugami had been living in human society before meeting Yuzhang, and was not as unfamiliar with electronic technology as other monsters, so he quickly mastered how to use the camera.

"Alright! I'll be straight to the point. In order to defeat the legendary Nura Clan and become the new lord of demons and monsters, I plan to make Seven a group of idols..."

"???"

After hearing Yu Zhang's speech that was like a storm, everyone in the "Seven-Man Group" was completely stunned.

For most monsters, "idols" are a strange thing. Of course, there are some monsters with different personalities who are particularly interested in this kind of thing.

"Idol? The war is about to start tomorrow. Master Yuzhang, what on earth are you thinking about?..."

"Human idol?"

"Idol? What is that?" Shouxigui was a little confused.

Ye Que remained silent and did not speak, but this did not stop her from staring at Yu Zhang with strange eyes. Her real identity was that of a Shikigami of the Gomonin family, so she was actually not unfamiliar with the affairs of human society, especially Yu Zhang's identity, which had become a hot topic on the Internet because of the incident of the Demon God.

It seems that the descendant of the Hidden God Geubu Tanuki has finally had his spirit eroded by the "Devil's Hammer" to the point of losing his mind?

Yu Zhang waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet. "Yes, you heard me right. I'm talking about the idols in human society who stand on the stage and sing and dance!"

The crocheting girl looked at her companions.

Inugami is just an ordinary-looking boy, Tewashi-ghost is a huge bald uncle, Inu-Phoenix and Kishigai-kosan look like a turkey and a deep diver respectively. They don't look like idols at all...

As for Ye Que, the mysterious girl whose body is wrapped in talismans and who has never been heard to speak, Crochet Girl thinks that this girl is unlikely to become an idol.

"I'm the only good-looking one here. How can I be an idol with this lineup..." The crocheted girl shrugged.

Hearing this, the honest hand-washing ghost couldn't help but complain, "Tsk, your pale face is as scary as a ghost, how dare you say such things?"

Everyone except Crochet Girl and Night Sparrow nodded in agreement.

"Huh? What do you mean? Are you trying to say I'm ugly?"

"It's not that you're ugly, but no matter what, you're not beautiful either, Crochet Girl." Inu Phoenix shook his head.

"Oh wow, are you trying to pick a fight on purpose?"

Seeing the crowd starting to argue, Yu Zhang interrupted their conversation, raised his thumb, and said with a confident smile, "Don't worry, I can easily make post-production changes using my magical powers. Whether it's special effects, the location, or your appearance, it's not a problem at all!"

Next, he explained in detail how he used the Internet to gain "fear".

"Hmm, can we actually use human technology to easily gain power?"

When everyone heard Yu Zhang's crazy idea, they were stunned.

"As for the missing Sleeve God, I will take his place. Of course, this isn't mandatory. If you don't want to do it, I understand, but..."

Yu Zhang's eyes grew increasingly sharp. "Are you content to be just an ordinary monster? Don't you want to be curious? Explore the unknown human realm and use your endless fear to explore your own unknown possibilities!"

Inugami looked into Yuzhang's eyes, his expression gradually becoming serious. He knew clearly that Yuzhang was serious this time.

"I understand. Since Master Yuzhang is ready to personally take the field, I, Inugami, will accompany you to the end..."

Chapter 129 Come on!

With Inugami's consent, everyone thought for a moment and decided to join the monster idol project.

Although the content was a bit baffling, they did feel the awe from Yu Zhang, who was now several times stronger than before. This method of becoming stronger was undoubtedly more efficient than directly going out and causing trouble...

Anyway, they are not monsters living in human society. With the help of Yu Zhang's magical power, there is no need to even consider the cost issue. It seems that it doesn't matter if they give it a try?

Not to mention Ye Que. As an undercover agent planted in the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Demons Night Parade, she naturally has to monitor Yu Zhang's actions closely. And if Yu Zhang is defeated by the Nura clan, she also needs to retrieve the powerful demon sword "The Demon King's Hammer" in time.

[Really? Why do I always run into trouble like this?...]

She was originally a shikigami of the Gomonoin family, and was then ordered by her master to join the Hyakumonogatari group and assist in their actions. Then, because of the mission assigned by the Hyakumonogatari group, she had to join the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Demons Night Parade. Now, she is even asked to become a monster idol!

As he thought about it, Ye Que felt inexplicably tired, and his eyes gradually lost their luster.

[When will this endless nesting doll expansion end?]

Hearing that everyone decided to accept his plan, Yu Zhang became more motivated.

"Yoshi, since everyone agrees, I now declare that 'Seven Together' officially becomes the first idol group in the world of monsters!"

Originally, he planned to portray himself as a mysterious figure on the Internet to obtain an endless supply of "fear". However, from what happened in the morning, Yu Zhang found that it was not enough to just become stronger. There were always times when it was inconvenient for him to take action.

After thinking for a while, Yu Zhang took out several leaves from his pocket and handed them to everyone present. This thing was not unfamiliar to them. It was a leaf made by Yu Zhang using his magical powers. As long as they put it on the forehead, they could get perfect camouflage, and changing their appearance, figure, height, etc. was not a problem.

"Well, we're going to fight the Nura clan tomorrow, and since we have no reputation, it's not suitable for us to do a live broadcast at this stage. We probably won't be able to attract too many viewers in a short period of time. So now we can only shoot short videos. And since we're an idol group, it may not be suitable to use the camera we bought later..." Yu Zhang began to talk to himself.

At this moment, a voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar came from the room.

"Master Yuzhang, are you sure there's nothing wrong with this leaf?"

Following the source of the sound, everyone saw a black-haired older sister wearing a gray sports vest and shorts. She was looking down at her chest with a somewhat frightened expression.

"Uh, y-you're not a hand-washing ghost, are you?"

The crocheting girl looked at the transformed hand-washing ghost with an expression of disbelief. After taking a quick look at the other person's figure, she always felt that she seemed to have lost in some way.

"This is not the time to talk about these things. What is going on with this leaf? Why did I turn into a woman?" Shouxi Gui asked Yu Zhang hurriedly.

Inugami, who was about to use camouflage leaves, suddenly stopped and had an ominous premonition in his heart. Then he turned and looked at Yu Zhang.

"Don't worry, this is all part of the plan."

Yu Zhang nodded in satisfaction, as if he had known that the scene before him would appear and was not surprised at all.

"Master Yuzhang, what do you mean..."

The hand-washing ghost seemed to have guessed something and his eyes widened slightly.

"Do you think an older man can be more popular than an older sister?! Don't forget, our goal is to gain a large amount of 'fear', so naturally we have to maximize efficiency!"

"But is it really okay for an old man like me to be a beautiful girl's idol?" Shouxigui hesitated to speak.

Yu Zhang smiled confidently and said seriously, "If you don't have confidence, then trust me! Trust me, the one who believes in you! I will definitely turn 'Seven' into a top-tier idol group!"

"Wait, a bi-beautiful girl idol group?"

The male monsters standing nearby who hadn't yet used their leaf transformations were completely stunned. Did this mean he was going to use his magical powers to disguise all the men present as beautiful girls? Even himself?

"Well, there's another reason why everyone's all feminized. If one day we become popular idols and reveal our true identities, we could gain immeasurable fear from humans..."

Before anyone could react, Yu Zhang picked up a leaf and put it on his forehead.

As a cloud of smoke emanated from Yu Zhang's body, the original him disappeared, replaced by a high school girl with long brown hair.

"Hello everyone, I'm Yuzi, I'm eighteen years old, please give me your guidance!"

"???"
