Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

"Of course not!"

"Don't worry then, come on, eat some meat... Girls usually have smaller appetites, right? Here, these four slices are for you, and the rest are mine~"

"what?"

"By the way, does anxiety also cause a loss of appetite? Then you should continue worrying about that yakuza stuff. And forget about four slices of meat, just eat two. Give me the other two too~"

"Hey! That's not enough to fill you up!"

Kikuri Ichi immediately put her worries aside and regained a positive attitude towards meat.

After a struggle.

The fox and the woman finally filled their stomachs.

"I'll go check out."

"Don't worry."

Hideyuki Hoshino stopped Kikuri Iji from getting up.

"Since there are yakuza members here, why bother settling the bill? Just wait and see, I'll get revenge for you~"

"What's the meaning……"

Hoshino Hideyuki didn't explain much, but pretended to go to the restroom, and on his way back, he passed by the yakuza's table...

I accidentally knocked over the edge of the juice.

Most of the juice spilled on the ground, but a few drops landed on Yakuza's casual suit.

"Oh sorry sorry!"

Hideyuki Hoshino immediately displayed the traditional Japanese skill of bowing deeply!

"It's all my fault for being so careless. Here, I'll pay for your laundry..."

There are many public laundromats that charge a fee on the streets of Japan because the single apartments here are often too small to fit a washing machine or only have a small washing machine that is not even big enough to wash a blanket. Many people choose to pay to wash their clothes outside.

The madman's expression shifted several times, and his fists clenched slightly.

But upon seeing the beautiful woman's face, he took a deep breath, regained his composure, and generously raised his hand:

"No need, I'll wash it myself..."

After some polite exchanges, Hoshino Hideyuki returned safely to his seat.

After waiting for about ten minutes, he got up to find a waiter.

"Our bill should be put on that gentleman's tab."

After saying that, he took a few steps and waved to the Extreme Path: "I'm sorry to have troubled you!"

While Yakuza was whispering sweet nothings to the woman, he casually replied, "It's okay to say it."

"What a generous guy!"

Hoshino Hideyuki smiled and pulled Iji Chikiku, who was still in a daze, out of the restaurant.

It took Ichikiku a long time to realize what was going on.

That's it?

"Con artists, how terrifying..."

"You flatter me~"

Hideyuki Hoshino blinked his fox-like eyes.

If it weren't for your presence, I would have used the "Mirror Image" illusion technique and cast it, making it entirely possible for that yakuza to give away the whole meal for free!

"I wasn't trying to compliment you... but the result was really great, thanks."

After Kikuri Iji finished her rant, she suddenly realized that her hand was being held by Hideyuki Hoshino.

They should just let go...

but……

Although it was a con artist's hand, it felt strangely warm and reassuring...

Fraudsters are truly terrifying.

Oh well, this guy is handsome anyway, so I'll let him hold my hand a little longer. I might not be the one who suffers.

Just as Ichiki was thinking this, Hoshino Hideyuki took the initiative to let go of her hand.

"We've arrived at the station. Let's all go home now."

"oh oh……"

Ichikiku felt a little lost.

"Ah! Kikuri!"

The strangely familiar shout made her turn around, only to see a beautiful woman, still charming and radiant, who had gotten off the previous tram and was waving as she ran over enthusiastically.

"What a coincidence! I was just about to go to your rented apartment when we bumped into each other on the way!"

"Mom, Mom!"

Kikuri Ijichi exclaimed in surprise, "How did you get here from Osaka...?"

The visitor was Iji Chikiri's mother, Iji Chieko, who usually lived in Osaka with her husband.

Huizi's mother rushed over and complained, "It's all because you haven't been contacting us much lately, and you always look so disheveled during video calls. I asked your band friends privately, but they couldn't say why either. They're all worried about you, so I had to come and see you..."

Ichiki lowered her head.

How could I possibly tell my family and friends that I've lost 1505 million yen?

Despite her best efforts to conceal it, subtle details still revealed something amiss...

Is this mom?

Wait, what if Mom comes home with me later...

Although the house has been tidied up to some extent, those cheap bento boxes and bills are still on the table, in case someone notices something's wrong again...

We need to find a way to cover it up.

"Kikuri, you're thinking of how to hide this from me, aren't you?"

"You can't do that! You should talk to your family about anything!"

Chieko Iji surprisingly put her hands on her hips and puffed out her cheeks in a rather girlish manner.

"No, Mom, you always overthink things."

Kikuchi Iji pretended to be impatient, but inside she was starting to panic.

Just then, Iji Chieko caught a glimpse of Hoshino Hideyuki standing to the side.

"Oh? And this is... "

"Auntie hello~"

Hideyuki Hoshino was all smiles, his sunshine like a nuclear explosion:

"Nice to meet you, my name is Wen Shuiche."

Chapter 11 Just trust the fox.

"Ah, nice to meet you..."

After the introductions, Iji Chieko looked at Hoshino Hideyuki and narrowed her pretty eyes:

"Warm Water Guy, are you my daughter's...friend?"

"No, a slave."

Ijichi Keiko: "Huh?!"

Ijichi Kikuri: "Huh!?"

"Haha, just kidding."

Hoshino Hideyuki scratched the back of his head and chuckled, "But in a way, it's not exactly a joke. It really is because of your daughter that I've become a slave to love."

"So, you're my daughter's boyfriend?"

Ichieko breathed a sigh of relief. "I was so scared! I thought my daughter had gotten involved in some lewd games she shouldn't be playing. Turns out, he's just her boyfriend..."

He's just my boyfriend...

and many more……

"Kikuri, really? When did you get a boyfriend?!"

After glaring at her daughter, Ichieko immediately smiled at Hideyuki Hoshino and said, "Ah, I'm sorry, Nukumizu-kun, thank you for taking care of my daughter all this time, it's just a bit too sudden..."

For a moment, Mama-chan was a little incoherent.

Ijiki stared intently at Hoshino Hideyuki, her eyes seemingly saying: Why did you tell such a lie!

Hoshino Hideyuki raised his chin and returned the look with three times the information: Could it be that Ms. Ijichi would rather her mother know that she was defrauded of tens of millions of yen?

"Ah! Yes, that's right, he's my boyfriend!"

yielded.

Faced with the tragic reality, Iji Chikiku succumbed.

"It's actually true..."

Huizi's mother's wrinkles have lessened.

She then launched into a long list of questions:

"Arno, Mr. Wen Shui, how old are you this year?"

"Twenty years old."

"Huh? Is he working or studying at university?"

"I'm studying law at the University of Tokyo. Auntie, if you don't believe me, I happen to have my student ID with me..."
