I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

"Hahaha, that's really amazing. Keep it up. Mr. Inoue, I won't bother you anymore. I'll go check on Sadako first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Inoue Ueya turned around and fled the scene.

"and many more!"

However, Hanako Natsukawa seemed to see through Inoue Ueya's inner thoughts and caught him in an instant, and his escape plan failed again.

The bad girl in front of him smiled maliciously and said to Inoue Ueya, "Since Sadako can't cook for the time being, why don't we prepare dinner for you tonight? Let you taste the results of our special training?"

"Ah?" Inoue Ueya looked confused.

How could Qi Kexiu have such a problem? That Hanako guy actually found a new way to trick him?

As soon as these words were spoken, Mary and Kuin raised their heads and cast expectant glances at Inoue Ueya, as if they hoped he would agree to this matter.

Inoue Ue was also a little hesitant and scratched his head subconsciously.

Whatever, this is just a meal for him to eat. At most, he will have diarrhea like Miss Sadako did. It shouldn't cause any problems to his body... right?

"I……"

Inoue Ueya was just about to open his mouth to accept it, but he was interrupted by Yasen just as he started.

[Hey, hey, this momentary act of Yasashi will cost you dearly. Don't agree to them rashly! Even the monsters have gotten into trouble, so this is definitely not something that ordinary people can eat. This is hell ahead!]

Inoue Ueya fell silent again.

What Yasen said made a lot of sense. He was indeed impulsive just now. This kind of thing must be rejected!

"Hey, you don't want to eat, do you? I'm going to be angry, okay?"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Natsukawa Hanako's tone, as if she was a little impatient with Inoue Ueya's hesitation.

Although she said that, she actually just wanted to take this opportunity to let Inoue Ueya taste the cooking she learned from Sadako today.

However, after Inoue Ue heard what Natsukawa Hanako said, even though he was used to her usual carefree personality, he still couldn't help feeling a little dissatisfied, thinking that he must teach this bad girl who wanted to trick him a lesson this time.

Well, if that's the case...

Inoue Ueya gave Hanako Natsukawa a cold smile and responded, "Ah, if you're willing to eat with Mr. Inoue, then I agree. After all, if only one person is tasting the food, the evaluation will inevitably be a bit subjective. If you eat with them, then we can get a more objective evaluation, right?"

Upon hearing this, Mary and Kuin turned their expectant gazes from Inoue Ueya to Natsukawa Hanako.

"Hey, Hanako, do you want to eat with us?"

"what?"

Only then did Hanako Natsukawa react.

There is no doubt that Inoue Ueya is trying to drag her into this!

Hanako's face suddenly turned ugly, and she looked at Inoue Ueya angrily.

"Damn it, I didn't expect Inoue to go to such extremes to make a one-for-one trade. I've made note of this..." Hanako murmured in a low voice.

"What's wrong? Mr. Inoue will eat with us. What are you hesitating about?" Inoue Ueya said with a smile.

Without thinking too much, stimulated by Inoue Ueya's words, Natsukawa Hanako got hot-headed and gritted her teeth and made up her mind.

"Humph, of course no problem! Just eat it, I won't hesitate about such things!"

"Really? Why did things turn out like this?" Iwanaga Kotoko couldn't help but sigh.

At this time, the kitchen door was opened again.

Everyone looked outside the door when they heard the sound. The person who came in was Sadako, but compared to her in the morning, she looked a little haggard.

"Sadako, are you okay?"

Inoue Ueya felt a little sad and began to worry about Sadako's condition.

"No, don't worry, it's just a little diarrhea. I feel much better now. Ueya, you should go and rest first. I'm going to start making dinner..."

As she spoke, Sadako dragged her heavy body and staggered into the kitchen.

"Hey, hey, if you're not feeling well, don't force yourself. Just give me a good rest today..."

Inoue Ueya had known Sadako for such a long time, but he had rarely seen her so weak. This time, it was caused by eating something strange, which was even more incredible.

Without thinking too much, Inoue Ueya walked up and picked up Sadako with one hand, and carried her back to the bed in the room in a princess carry.

"Well, anyway, just lie down on the bed and get some rest. We'll take care of dinner, and you just need to eat..."

After saying this, when Inoue Ueya was about to return to the kitchen, Sadako grabbed his hand and carefully warned him, "Wait, at least keep a close eye on Kuin and Mary while they cook. Don't give them any chance to mess around!"

Going back to the foreword, after seeing Sadako's condition, Inoue Ueya became more and more panicked.

"Oh no! Mr. Inoue, will you suddenly black out after dinner and wake up in a hospital bed again?"

[Alas, since you've already promised the other party, there's no going back on your word. You should just follow Sadako's instructions...]

Chapter 156: Didn’t you see the black smoke coming out of the rice ball?

When Inoue Ueya was still an elementary school student, his grandfather once said something to him that left a deep impression on him.

"Listen carefully, Ueya. Once you make a promise to someone, you must keep it. This is what is called a covenant. Don't be like me now..."

As he spoke, the grandfather who was kneeling on the keyboard reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, his expression a little haggard.

Well, Inoue Ueya was basically no longer surprised by what was happening before his eyes. After all, his grandparents were like this when he was younger.

"Grandma finally caught me today, playing games secretly. Grandpa, you are already old, haven't you had enough fun yet..." Inoue Ueya sighed.

"Hey, how can you say that players playing games is 'stealing'? Besides, new games are released every once in a while, so how can you possibly get enough of them..." Grandpa Inoue retorted.

Inoue Ueya shook his head and didn't complain.

Although what he said made sense, the persuasiveness was greatly reduced when Inoue Ueya actually saw his grandfather's current "miserable condition".

"No, don't go off topic!"

Seeing a hint of disgust appear on Inoue Ueya's face, Grandpa Inoue reacted instantly.

"Back to the point. What I want to talk about isn't about the game. Although you have to do what you agreed to do, as long as you directly refuse the other party, then you don't have to worry about it!"

"what?"

Inoue Ueya could no longer understand what his grandfather was trying to say.

"Well, this is a very complicated matter. If I explain it too complicatedly, you won't be able to understand it, right? Simply put, don't make promises to anyone casually, then nothing will go wrong. Remember this sentence well!" Grandpa said with a vicissitudes of life on his face.

Hearing this, Inoue Ueya frowned.

"It's not that serious, right? If it's really something you can't do, wouldn't it be enough to just confess and apologize to the other party?"

"Apologize? This level of apology won't solve all the problems. You'll understand when you grow up." Grandpa Inoue said mysteriously.

However, he did not notice the figure standing behind him.

The person who came was Inoue Ueya's grandmother. She lifted her grandfather's ear with one hand, causing him to exclaim in surprise.

"Don't teach Zhiye bad things while I'm away, you old man!"

"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts, be gentler, be gentler!"

……

Inoue Ueya had just returned to the kitchen from Sadako's room. As soon as he entered, he saw Hanako holding a bottle of devil pepper sauce and putting it into a pot of curry spoonfully. His eyes suddenly lost their luster.

——Although curry is indeed a common and easy-to-learn dish, please don’t add this horrible thing!

Until this moment, Inoue Ue finally understood what his grandfather had said.

He had been too naive about the agreement from the beginning. Although he knew that Sadako had diarrhea, he never expected that these girls who had just learned to cook would make such brutal dishes.

Since he has already made an agreement with Hanako, the bad girl, it is too late for Mr. Inoue to go back on his word. According to her usual personality, Hanako will definitely not let him go back on his word.

No, Sadako was asking me to keep an eye on Mary and Kuin. Could it be that their cooking is more dangerous than Hanako's?

Although he was a little reluctant to let go of Hanako's cooking, Inoue Ue finally turned his attention to Mary and the others, staring at their entire cooking process, afraid that he would miss any fatal scene.

For a long time, until Mary and the others made the rice balls, Inoue Ue didn't notice anything strange.

These two girls were just making rice balls from beginning to end, and I didn't see them adding any strange ingredients. Logically, a common dish like rice balls should be safer than Hanako's pot of spicy sauce curry, right?

In reality, Kuin was a faster learner than anyone else. Under the guidance of Sadako, the humanoid online dictionary, she had easily mastered a vast amount of culinary knowledge in a short period of time. Logically, she should have been the least likely to fail, yet Sadako had failed. What was going on?

Looking at the rice balls that had been made, Kuin nodded with satisfaction.

"Hmm, then it's time to proceed to the final step!"

As he spoke, Kuin, who was standing in front of Fantuan, suddenly stretched out his hands and made a heart shape, and began to gather unknown black energy in his hands.

? ? ?

Seeing the sudden change in style, Inoue Ueya, who was standing by and watching the situation, was also confused.

“Food, food, food, oh, hear my voice and become more delicious!”

As Rikuin uttered the mysterious spell, the black energy in her hand penetrated into the rice ball as if it had heard some command.

After the spell was completed, Inoue Ueya could still see black unknown gas occasionally overflowing from the surface of the rice ball and vaguely hear strange wailing sounds.

"..."

Inoue Ueya fell silent.

There is no doubt that this strange spell is the culprit that caused Miss Sadako's diarrhea, right?

So the question is, Sadako wouldn't be so foolish as to put something into her mouth that she could tell was wrong with her naked eyes, unless...

"Well, didn't you see the black smoke coming out of the rice ball?"

"Black smoke? What are you talking about, Onii-chan? These rice balls shouldn't be anything special, right?" Mary asked back with a puzzled look.

So that's how it is. Even they, as monsters, can't see the power that Quinn unleashes...

Even the strange black energy could not be detected by the original body. Inoue Ue did not think that an ordinary person like himself who did not even have spiritual power could see it with the naked eye. There must be a reason. There are not many answers. It is probably the Book of Shadows in his body.

"So? Kuin, what was that spell just now about?"

Inoue Ueya sighed and planned to ask Kuin for the answer.

"Hey, isn't this what you taught me, Ino? That spell that makes the food in the maid cafe taste delicious..."

what.

Come to think of it, I seemed to have mentioned this kind of thing in my dream, but is that common spell actually real?

"How should I put it? The spell just now failed anyway, right?"

Hearing this, Kuin frowned and stared closely at the rice ball that was constantly emitting black smoke.

"Hmm, there shouldn't be any problem. The situation is exactly the same as before. Even Sadako looked very satisfied when she tried the food..."

"No, no, no, she started having diarrhea after eating, right?"

Chapter 157: The Beef Was Cooked Too Long

"Well, there's always a price to pay for casting a spell, right? Making food more delicious at the cost of 'giving you diarrhea', that's a pretty good spell, right?"

"No, no, no, if I need to have diarrhea, it's not worth it at all. Besides, cooking doesn't require any magic from the beginning!"

Inoue Ueya sighed. Now he finally knew what was going on. After all, he had just come out of a dream. Kuin's common sense seemed to be a little different from that of other people. Inoue Ueya never thought that she really believed the maid cafe thing and used real magic on such an ordinary thing.

"Maybe I didn't explain it clearly at the time. The so-called spell I mentioned was not a magic spell, but just a kind of verbal... uh, blessing?" Inoue Ueya tried to explain the situation to Kuin.

How should I put it? This matter is a bit subtle. It is obviously just a spell made up by an ordinary person, but who knew that it would really become a usable black magic in front of Kuin.

Now Inoue Ue had no choice but to explain everything to Kuin so that she could understand the current situation.

After all, she was the one who created the Book of Shadows, so Kuin was very familiar with spells. Inoue Ue also felt that it was natural for her to be able to do what was happening before her.

There is a reason why the Book of Shadows was called the Book of Witchcraft by the ancients. After all, the contents recorded in the book are almost all spells that require a bloody price. Although most of the prices are caused by the lack of spiritual power of the caster, the spells created by Kuin always seem to be inseparable from weird styles and powerful side effects.

"Anyway, that doesn't really mean you need to cast a spell on the food!"

"Eh?"

"As for the so-called cuisine, putting aside the taste, normally it is food that people can eat safely. This spell that causes diarrhea is obviously putting the cart before the horse." Inoue Ueya shook his head.

"Well, is that so?"
