I, Den-O, the Contract Urban Legend

Even so, he couldn't just sit there forever, could he?

Just at this moment, a breeze blew in from the window, and Inoue Ue decided to take the initiative to open the topic.

"The wind is very noisy today..."

Hearing this, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but sigh.

"Inoue-san, haven't you communicated with anyone in a long time?"

???

What do you mean? Does it mean that Shizuka Hiratsuka just now and you now have stopped being human?

"You also understand JOJO?"

Inoue Ueya answered Yukinoshita Yukino in a way that was completely irrelevant.

"What is JOJO?" asked Yukinoshita Yukino in confusion.

"If you don't know, forget it. It's just a joke. If it's Xiaojing, she should be able to understand it."

"I see. What if it's a girl? Have you not communicated with a girl for a long time?" asked Yukinoshita Yukino.

Is it still the same problem as in the original work? It seems that Shizuka Hiratsuka really made herself out to be a very strange person...

"Well, if you're not included, it should be when I leave in the morning, right?"

"When you leave the house in the morning? Then what about family interactions?"

If we don’t include my family, then the two urban legends in my family can’t be counted either.

But as a friend, Hanakaiin Yuura should be okay, right?

"Someone came to visit me last night."

Yukinoshita Yukino held her forehead, took a deep breath, and continued, "What if it's not considered a conversation with family and friends?"

Well, how long ago was it?

last night?

Or the day before yesterday?

No, no, no, who would remember something like this after all...

Anyway, ever since Inoue Ueya signed a contract with Miss Sadako, he rarely took the initiative to communicate with other girls. Usually they would come up to him and talk to him first.

but--

Even if he couldn't answer, Mr. Inoue didn't intend to embarrass himself in front of his idol, and he had to answer Yukinoshita Yukino's question in the most handsome way!

Inoue Ueya pointed his index finger at his mouth, smiled wickedly, and said in a deep voice, "Do you remember how many slices of bread you've eaten?"

Chapter 11: More and more exaggerated

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned slightly. She totally couldn't understand what Inoue Ueya was saying.

Is this what Hiratsuka-sensei calls "chuunibyou"?

"you……"

Inoue Ueya interrupted Yukinoshita Yukino.

"Just kidding, so now I'm considered a member of the Servant Club?"

"...Yes, at least for the next month."

[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the weekly task. The reward has been sent to the system space. Please check it yourself.]

The system space, to put it simply, is a storage space, but unfortunately it can only store system items.

Inoue Ueya looked at the red memory in his hand, and then looked at Yukinoshita Yukino. Now that he had received the reward, should he be able to leave?

But seeing how seriously they are helping me, it would be a bit too much to just leave. It's only a month anyway, so I might as well stay here for a while.

[Ding, considering the host's intention to establish a Kamen Rider club, a special mission is being issued to the host.]

【Special Mission: Establishing the Kamen Rider Club】

【Task duration: one month】

[Mission Reward: Kamen Rider Den-O's complete set of SIC series skins, and a Kamen Rider Club poster hand-painted by Gentaro Kisaragi]

No, no, no, I'm just talking. Is it necessary to take this system so seriously?

Isn’t it just Den-O’s SIC series skin?

Hiss, this is the feeling of heartbeat...

SIC is a toy series that is characterized by using alternative styles and unique ideas to reinterpret the appearance of a certain character. Den-O in that series is a particularly eye-catching member.

Wild style and a more refined leather case than the original.

Anyway, as long as I complete the bet with Hiratsuka Shizuka, I can get the reward, right?

Recovering from his daze, Inoue Ueya sighed, pushed his glasses up, and said calmly, "I'm not sure what you've misunderstood, but Mr. Inoue, let me be frank. Although I didn't interact much with people at school, that doesn't mean I have any social difficulties. The actual situation is quite the opposite of what you might imagine!"

Although Yukinoshita Yukino's eyes turned strangely towards him, Inoue Ue didn't care and continued his chant: "Mr. Inoue has always been very popular, probably since elementary school. My shoe cabinet was often filled with love letters, and there were always girls I didn't know coming up to talk to me. If I were to say that at the beginning, I would probably still be happy about it..."

The more she spoke, the more exaggerated she became. Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Inoue Ueya with an expressionless face.

"Unfortunately, this kind of thing is happening more and more, and Mr. Inoue is gradually getting tired of it. If I were truly popular, that would be a different story. To put it bluntly, those girls are just looking for looks. They confessed to me even though they didn't know much about Mr. Inoue. They just wanted my body!!"

At this moment, Miss Sadako's voice came into Inoue Ueya's mind.

[Inoue Ueya...can you explain what's going on? Why do I see you chatting alone with a female classmate in the classroom when I open the shared vision of the contract?]

Miss Sadako is very angry now. She didn't expect that Inoue Ueya was not satisfied with hooking up with an eight-foot-tall girl and taking her home last night, and now he even dares to flirt with other girls at school?

——Is this because he thinks Miss Sadako is not cute enough, or has he become bolder?

[Ahahaha, I was just, uh... having some academic discussions with the girl in front of me.]

Listening to the boasting of this gloomy otaku wearing tacky glasses and unkempt appearance, Yukinoshita Yukino did not believe what Inoue Ueya said, but fell into deep thought.

"It seems your condition is more serious than I thought..."

"Hey, Mr. Inoue, I heard you. Your illness is really too much. I'm a normal person. Do you think I was just bragging?"

"With all due respect, I find what you say unconvincing."

Yukinoshita Yukino sighed, "Besides, can an inconspicuous and gloomy man like you really have friends?"

"Well, I think we need to first clarify your definition of a friend. And I'm dressing so modestly just to avoid unnecessary communication, right?"

Inoue Ueya was still planning to continue explaining, but suddenly Miss Sadako's voice came into his mind.

Miss Sadako sighed. Is this stupid Zhiye being bullied by a girl?

"That won't do. The only person who can bully Ueya is Miss Sadako."

As soon as the words fell, a ball of blue light penetrated into Inoue Ueya's body...

The messy hair was first smoothed by invisible energy in the blink of an eye, and then the hairstyle changed, with side bangs and slightly curled hair ends. A tuft of long hair on the right side was highlighted in sea blue, and the round-frame glasses that looked like a funny prop were replaced with black square-framed plain glasses in an instant.

—Inoue Ueya. Sadako appears again while possessed.

"There are hidden needles in their words, monstrous falsehoods and outright lies. If you don't even mind these..."

"Inoue Ueya" pushed his glasses up on his nose, a faint blue light flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Then try to take my bait?"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Inoue Ueya in front of her, and a look of surprise appeared in her calm eyes at this moment. The "Inoue Ueya" in front of her had a completely different temperament from the gloomy boy just now. They were like two different people.

"I see. Hiding your true self and refusing to communicate with others, but does that really solve the problem?"

Yukinoshita Yukino frowned, subconsciously interpreting Inoue Ueya's transformation as some kind of magic trick. Although she was a little surprised, it was not to the point of being incredible.

"But this approach won't solve the problem at all. You're just avoiding it!"

Looking at the serious Yukinoshita Yukino, Inoue Ueya simply shook his head and said softly, "Things aren't as exaggerated as you say, are they? If things can be dealt with by running away, then running away has its own value."

Yukinoshita Yukino seemed to remember something, and her eyes suddenly became sharp. "If this is the case, everyone will just stay where they are. No one will change, and no one will be redeemed!"

"Inoue Ueya", no, Miss Sadako smiled.

“Why do we need salvation?”

[That's quite interesting. I didn't expect that you, Ueya, would actually meet such an interesting guy.]

[Hey, Sadako, calm down. This is my body, right?]

Inoue Ueya noticed that Miss Sadako had become serious and couldn't help but speak.

[If this continues, Mr. Inoue's character will be completely destroyed, right? ]

Miss Sadako, entranced, ignored Inoue Ueya and continued, "Communication between people is inherently filled with countless lies. Since they've been using false masks to face me, then I should also use disguises to avoid their harassment, using 'lies' to fight 'lies'. Isn't that reasonable?"

Chapter 12 Why did it turn out like this?

The debate in the classroom continues.

"You know, if you want to live happily in this world, even a thousand truths are not as good as a hundred lies, right?"

Yukinoshita Yukino laughed instead of getting angry, "That's terrible. Because it's what everyone else is doing, even if you noticed the problem, you turned a blind eye and chose to compromise with their wrongdoing, right?"

"Once you accept this reality, you will find that you can still live happily even if you live in a hypocritical world and tell lies?" "Inoue Ueya" laughed.

After hearing Inoue Ueya's thoughts, Yukinoshita Yukino became completely serious. "Lying is just escaping reality. What can you gain in the end by living in a hypocritical world? There are too many unreasonable things in this world. No one is perfect. The more outstanding people are, the more painful their lives are... That's why I want to change, change the way people think and this world!"

"Inoue Ueya" sitting on the chair crossed his arms, legs and looked at Yukinoshita Yukino with interest.

"I see. So you think hypocrisy is wrong?"

"Why did it turn out like this... We just met for the first time, but why did Mr. Inoue suddenly become like a villain while we were talking?"

Listening to the conversation between the two people, Inoue Ue, whose body was occupied, gradually gave up thinking. Now he could only hope that Miss Sadako would give him some face in front of her idol.

"So what about this cold mask on your face? Is it an escape or hypocrisy? Is it right or wrong?"

"What about your arrogance in wanting to change the world single-handedly? If your goal is truly to change people and the world, why are you still sitting in this empty classroom? Do you think you can really change the world this way?"

"Yukinoshita Yukino, what do you truly desire in your heart?"

"I……"

Yukinoshita Yukino pursed her lips and did not continue to refute.

Or rather, she wavered.

At this time, the classroom door was opened again and Shizuka Hiratsuka walked in.

"Excuse me, is your conversation going well? Wait, who are you?"

She had been standing at the door eavesdropping, so she didn't see anyone else come in?

Inoue Ueya smiled at Hiratsuka Shizuka and waved his hand, "He's just a Kamen Rider passing by. Don't remember him."

"That voice...are you Inoue?!"

Looking at "Inoue Ueya" in front of her, Hiratsuka Shizuka showed an expression of disbelief.

"Hey, isn't this a cosplay of Portalos's possession? The degree of restoration is really high..." Shizuka Hiratsuka looked shocked.

Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head, as if trying to put aside her surprise, and continued, "Hmm! Speaking of which, your arguments are a bit heated. How about a duel? Like in boys' comics, the winner will be determined by their performance in club activities, and the winner can make a request to the loser..."

Mr. Hiratsuka became more and more excited as he spoke, and it seemed that his mind had begun to imagine the two people in front of him engaging in a youthful showdown.

"No, I refuse."

"I reject."

The two of them rejected Hiratsuka Shizuka's proposal almost in unison.

"But you won't be able to reach a conclusion if you keep talking like this, right?"
