I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

In an instant, the atmosphere in the carriage suddenly became tense.

Inoue Ueya looked at the two people staring at each other, then looked at Natsukawa Hanako who was picking up popcorn and preparing to watch the show, and was hesitating whether to go over and mediate...

"Wait, Hanako, where did you get the popcorn?"

"That's what I made before. Lord Inoue, do you want to eat it too? There are still a lot in the kitchen..." said the slit-mouthed woman with a smile.

Inoue Ue was also stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"Uh, no, forget it."

Now is not the time to be distracted. Yukinoshita Yukino and Granny Koukou shouldn't get into a fight, right?

Although the behavior of the high-speed mother-in-law was a bit extreme, Inoue Ue also believed that she should not be a bad person.

Apart from anything else, when Inoue Ue, who had just been possessed, was also speeding, she even ran over to remind herself that she needed to brake in time...

Inoue Ueya hesitated for a moment, but even though the atmosphere between the two girls was a bit bad, he still went over to try to stop the fight.

"Well, Mr. Inoue——"

Before Inoue Ueya could finish, the two continued arguing.

"You don't need to tell me about the injuries. I'm at the scene and I know better than you!"

As if she had thought of something, the girl's tone had a hint of melancholy.

"You don't understand. Humans have never experienced pain firsthand, so how could they possibly remember their mistakes? I don't think I've done anything wrong."

"...I see. So you're planning to fight violence with violence?"

Yukinoshita Yukino clenched her fists and said angrily, "If everyone thinks like you, the world will sooner or later fall into chaos. Your thinking is flawed in the first place!"

Hearing this, the girl sighed and shook her head.

"So even naiveté has its limits. Don't impose human values ​​on me. I'm not human, so why should I act according to your ideas?"

Yukinoshita Yukino wanted to continue to refute, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't say anything.

"Besides, I've always controlled my strength. I just wanted to teach those speeding guys a lesson. Although there are always injuries in every accident, no one has ever died, right?"

The girl's goal from the beginning to the end was to become a superhero. Although the current "High-Speed ​​Grandma" seems to be a little bit off her expectations, she has never intended to do anything like killing lives.

Seeing Yukinoshita Yukino fall silent, the girl continued to explain, "So-called humans are usually the kind who won't cry until they see the coffin. You can try to reason with them, but whether they will listen is another matter. However, the things they try to do may lead to innocent people being injured or even killed. I don't think my actions are wrong."

That's right, the girl just wanted to do what she thought was right within her ability, and she didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt for causing the victim to be injured.

"It's not just humans. Speeding is more likely to accidentally injure stray animals on the road, such as dogs and cats. I've seen quite a few such scenes over the years..."

Yukinoshita Yukino fell completely silent.

—Wait, didn’t that highway lady just say that a lot of cats were hit by those speeding drivers?

For some reason, she suddenly felt that what Grandma Gao said seemed to make some sense.

If you want to know the reason, cats are human beings' treasures. Yukinoshita Yukino believes that hurting cats is one of the most unforgivable crimes in the world!

"Going back to the foreword, although your approach is somewhat inconsistent with human values, if it can reduce the risk of cats getting hurt, I think it's still acceptable."

Chapter 170 Then you can call me "Naya"

"Oh, do you like those little guys?"

“Yes, I love cats the most!”

Inoue Ueya scratched his head, sighed, and walked back to his seat.

——As expected of Yukinoshita Yukino, she actually compromised because of the cat!

It seemed that there was no need for him to stop the fight. Sometimes he really couldn't figure out what girls were thinking.

They were clearly arguing and about to fight just a second ago, so why is their relationship so good now?

After all, Yukinoshita Yukino has always been a cat lover. After experiencing the old mouse incident, she has gradually become more frank. I didn't expect that she would reach the point where she could chat with weird things without changing her face or heart rate.

Especially now that she has learned to use spiritual power, Inoue Ueya even began to wonder whether this cat lover would suddenly have the idea of ​​picking up a monster like Nekomata and taking it home to raise.

"What on earth is this? Mr. Inoue can't understand it at all..."

Kato Megumi, who was sitting next to her, had dull eyes, and seemed to be still struggling with the true identity of her mother-in-law. She was unable to accept the fact before her for a moment.

"Hey, why is Grandma Highway a young girl?"

Originally, she joined the club activities of Inoue Ueya and the others because she was curious about the weird things, but the result was a little disappointing to her.

Although the other party was indeed the highway mother-in-law, this was completely different from what she had imagined!

Moreover, the difference between the girl in front of him and the old woman is really too big. Are all those who have encountered the "high-speed old woman" blind?

Hanako Natsukawa shrugged as she ate popcorn. "Although not all monsters harbor ill will towards humans, don't expect them to look exactly like the rumors say. After all, those are just human imaginations."

Inoue Ueya nodded when he heard this.

Come to think of it, Hanako is an example. Her body shape is not like the little girl in the urban legend. She is a bad girl and likes to stay at home and play games. She is not as scary as described in the urban legend.

This bad girl was very reliable when we first met, but since she came to the Inoue family, Hanako seemed to have started to change in a strange direction.

Well, this must be Mr. Inoue's illusion, right?

"Come to think of it, is this the reason why you called me over? Is there nothing else, like asking me to save the world or something like that?" the silver-haired girl asked expectantly.

"Uh, no, we're just doing some weird club stuff."

Even though the girl looked as if she was expecting something strange to happen, nothing happened, so Inoue Ue had no choice but to tell her this somewhat regrettable answer.

“Oh, so that’s how it is…”

After receiving such a boring answer, the girl's expression instantly became lost.

At this time, Kato Megumi tugged at the corner of Inoue Ueya's clothes and whispered, "Inoue-san, aren't you planning to recruit Grandma Kou as your battle partner?"

Although Kato Megumi didn't know how Inoue Ueya did it, the slit-mouthed woman once mentioned that he had the special ability to transform monsters into different demons.

If I were to say, this high-speed grandmother's personality is actually quite suitable for a contract. Her acceleration ability can also turn the tide of battle, and she seems to be looking forward to a similar development. It shouldn't be difficult to invite her to join.

"No, forget it this time..."

——Yes, he had no choice before for various reasons, but now Mr. Inoue just wants to be a serious person.

He no longer wanted to casually sign a contract with someone upon their first meeting. After all, his current combat power should be enough to deal with future enemies, whether it was the monsters in Kyoto or the alien demon gods that had migrated for unknown reasons...

When Inoue Ue thought about the many troublesome things that would need to be dealt with in the future, he began to feel a little headache.

"By the way, what's your real name? I always feel it's a bit strange to call a girl "High Speed ​​Granny"..." Yukinoshita Yukino asked.

Upon hearing this, the smile on the girl's face froze and she was silent for a while. Before Yukinoshita Yukino could sense something was wrong, she forced out a smile.

"Listen carefully, I have a super cool name, which is——"

When they heard "High Speed ​​Granny" start to introduce herself, Inoue Ueya and others subconsciously pricked up their ears. They seemed to be very curious about the girl's name.

"Naya Echilekluar Alifei..."

? ? ?

That’s not all. The girl then spoke dozens of words in one breath, which made everyone stunned and unable to recover for a long time.

"Uh, your name..."

"Hehe, isn't that great? This is a name I specially picked out from the novels and comics I found, and then re-spelled it!"

"what?"

After hearing the girl's explanation, even Yukinoshita Yukino showed a rare confused expression, and her mind was in a state of confusion for a while.

"No, no, no, who can remember such a long name?" Inoue Ueya complained.

In fact, as the girl said at the beginning, she was a nameless monster. This was not just a casual remark. How could a monster like her, who had no father or mother and was born out of thin air, have a real name?

The title of "High-Speed ​​Grandma" was given by others, and her name was also something she came up with, that's all.

"Haha, is my name hard to remember?"

At this moment, Inoue Ueya vaguely saw a bitter smile on the girl's face.

"That's right, then you can call me "Naya"."

……

Everyone chatted with Naya for a while, and she stood up from her chair.

"Well, it's getting late. I should leave."

After a while, considering that the scene of the train was too conspicuous, Kato Megumi found a secluded place for Naya to get off.

Kato Megumi is not as thick-skinned as Inoue Ueya. She would never drive the time train to the city to land just to go home. The action just now was because it was dark, so she was willing to let the train move secretly at high altitude.

"Can I just get off here?"

According to her, it doesn't matter where you get off, as long as it's near the road.

"No problem, I can run very fast, so the remote location is no problem at all."

Chapter 171: Could it be that the power of the singularity in the body has begun to act again?

"If there's a chance, I really want to talk to them again, but..."

Watching the Zero-Liner disappear in the colorful light, Naya once again marveled at the magic of this train.

"Their origins seem a bit unusual. Will someone remember my existence this time?"

Naya seemed to remember something, then sighed and turned away.

Forget it, she can't continue to care about this kind of thing. If her expectations are completely shattered by reality, she will feel sad even if she has lived for a long time.

"Yoshi, the night is still long. I should go back and teach those lawless racers a lesson!"

On the other hand, Inoue Ueya said something to Kato Megumi and Yukinoshita Yukino, and he and Hanako were going to get off at a convenience store near Inoue's house.

After all, we had agreed to treat Hanako to some fat otaku happy water, and we can't break our promise, otherwise that bad girl will get angry again.

Yukinoshita Yukino lives a little further away from here, and considering that it is getting dark, Inoue Ue asked Kato Megumi to take her back.

As mentioned before, Kato Megumi would not let the train appear in a conspicuous place directly. This time she used the train's random teleportation function.

"Well, I hope I won't be teleported to an awkward place like a convenience store warehouse this time. It would be terrible if it causes unnecessary misunderstandings..." Inoue Ueya's expression became a little subtle.

This is why Inoue Ueya hates using the teleportation function. They can never guess where they will come out. Compared to teleporting directly to home, there are more uninformed passers-by in the convenience store, which may cause more misunderstandings.

"Isn't it just a random teleportation? I'm here now, there's nothing to be afraid of!"

After hesitating for a moment, Inoue Ueya looked at Kato Megumi and Hanako standing beside him, intending to change his mind temporarily. "Well, Mr. Inoue, I've thought about it. How about we teleport back home first and then come out? It won't take much time anyway..."

"Hey, don't be a coward, just go ahead."

Impatient Hanako reached out and pulled Inoue Ueya out of the car without saying a word.

Kato Megumi smiled and waved to Inoue Ueya, "Be careful on the road, Inoue-san and Hanako-san."

Seeing this, Yukinoshita Yukino hesitated for a moment, imitated Kato Megumi's actions, waving her hands and saying goodbye to Inoue Ueya and the others in an awkward tone.

……

A red light flashed, and Inoue Ueya and Hanako walked out of the convenience store bathroom.

"There shouldn't be anyone outside the restroom, right?"

Fortunately, the toilet of this convenience store was at a certain distance from the cash register, so no one seemed to have seen Inoue Ueya and the other person walking out.

"I've already said it before, what's there to be afraid of with such a small matter?"

Although Hanako Natsukawa gives everyone the impression of being a bad girl, she is still "Hanako in the Toilet" and can still teleport herself and her contractor Ueya Inoue from the convenience store warehouse to a nearby toilet. This ability has helped Ueya Inoue escape from trouble before.

"Hahaha, after all this time, Mr. Inoue really has forgotten about your ability, Hanako."

Hanako Natsukawa pouted, looking a little dissatisfied.

"By the way, it's a rare trip to the convenience store, so let's buy some snacks!"

"???"

Hanako suddenly remembered that Kuin and Mary had been staying in the living room watching TV series recently, and the snacks that Inoue Ueya had received in the package sent by his parents were almost eaten up by them.

"Hmm, potato chips, milk coffee, strawberry milk..."
