Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

"what!"

With a sudden, tremendous force, the man with the braid fell to the ground, clutching his forehead and yelling.

"What kind of head injury did you get from that flick!"

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I'm a rock climber, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to have strong fingers~"

Hoshino Hideyuki withdrew his fingers, which were practically emitting gunpowder, and laughed, "Besides, 'snap your head, snap your head,' doesn't that mean to make your head burst like a watermelon?"

"you you……"

"puff!"

Upon seeing this scene, Kudo Nanase and Chizuru couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Now the man with the braid couldn't hold back any longer. He suddenly stood up in a somersault and said to Hoshino Hideyuki with a cold face:

"You bastard, I'll make sure you're not laughing anymore!"

Hoshino Hideyuki raised an eyebrow: "Not bad..."

Just now.

A tall, burly man with long, curly hair, literally resembling a double-door refrigerator, walked up behind the man with the braid and patted him on the shoulder, saying:

"Ah Cong, don't be so impulsive when you're out having fun. Holidays are for relaxing."

After saying that, he smiled at Hoshino Hideyuki: "Sir, my friend went too far with his joke. I apologize on his behalf."

Hideyuki Hoshino narrowed his eyes slightly.

This big guy... how come he walks so quietly...?

Chapter 112 Oh no, the con artist fox has run into bandits!

Is someone who walks silently a thief?

A thief the size of a double-door refrigerator—could he even squeeze through the window? Did he break down the front door and knock everyone inside unconscious to steal it?

While thinking to himself, Hoshino Hideyuki still said as usual:

"It's okay, I had a lot of fun playing cards just now~"

"Haha, that's good. Work is exhausting, so we should finally have some fun on this cruise!"

The burly man with curly hair laughed heartily, then patted the man with the braid, who was called Ah Cong.

The latter pouted, clearly unconvinced, apologized to Hoshino Hideyuki, took the glasses out of the flowerpot next to him, and returned them to Chizuru.

After exchanging a few more polite words, they turned and walked towards the bar.

Hideyuki Hoshino blinked.

Is it a combination of a tall thief and a short con artist?

It's quite rare; it has a kind of beauty reminiscent of "Big Head Dad, Small Head Son"...

They must be after the casino on the ship.

Excellent! Now the ship has a disgraced tycoon, his superhuman bodyguard, the con artist Fox, and a pair of thieves and con artists—truly a gathering of wise men and a righteous court!

"Thank you!"

Just then, Nanase Kudo and Chizuru walked up and solemnly thanked Hideyuki Hoshino.

"You're welcome, it was nothing at all."

"Um, if you don't mind, let's exchange contact information~"

Kudo Nanase blinked her right eye and gave Hoshino Hideyuki a wink.

As a female streamer who travels around a lot, she values ​​connections very much. She is now certain that the man in front of her is handsome and courageous, definitely not ordinary. In a mobile game, he would be at least a limited five-star character. Getting to know him wouldn't hurt!

She pretended to be friends with me to work together, but now she really wants to be friends! She'll just pay 648 if necessary!

"That's fine..."

Hideyuki Hoshino took out his phone and opened Instagram—it's also a social media platform, but because it's not as private as Line, young Japanese people often prefer to add strangers on Instagram rather than Line when they meet them for the first time.

After adding each other as friends, Kudo Nanase introduced herself.

"My name is Kudo Nanase, and I'm a freelancer. This is Haibara Chizuru, and she's a PhD student at the University of Tokyo—she's amazing!"

"Nanase, please don't be like this... I'm just working in the lab..."

Hoshino Hideyuki smiled and said, "My name is Nukumizu Toru. As for my profession, let me think... I'm probably a full-time emotional value provider~"

Nanase Kudo and Chizuru Haibara: ?

Clearly, they didn't understand.

"It just means gigolo~" Hoshino Hideyuki said without any shame.

Nanase Kudo and Chizuru Haibara: ??

Just then, Ijichi Kikuri, who had gone to get the drinks, finally returned.

Because the freshly squeezed kiwi juice she wanted was out of stock, she waited a little longer. She didn't think there would be any problem; it was only a few minutes. What trouble could a fox possibly cause?

And so, she saw the fox chatting and laughing with two busty women in swimsuits.

broken!

Something terrible has happened!

She quickly put the juice aside, stepped forward, and pressed her body tightly against Hoshino Hideyuki, almost causing the fox to stumble.

She asked, "Che, who are these two...?"

Hideyuki Hoshino steadied himself and briefly explained what had just happened.

At this moment, Iji Chikiri recognized Kudo Nanase and felt slightly relieved, but still stayed close to the fox, bowing and introducing herself:

"Nice to meet you, my name is Ijichi Kikuri..."

"Nice to meet you, Ichichi-san. Please take good care of me..."

Across from them, Nanase Kudo and Chizuru Haibara also bowed, with the latter adding softly, "You and Mr. Nukumizu are such a perfect match~"

"Oh, no, no, we're just friends..."

As Ichikiku said this, a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

sorry!

I misunderstood you all!

You are good people!

In an instant, the atmosphere eased, and the three beauties chatted enthusiastically, from hair to makeup to music, as if they were old friends.

The fox had no interest in any of this, quietly took a half step back, and then...

I drank both glasses of juice that I had waited in line for at Ijichi Kikuri!

Not a single drop was left for anyone!

Mmm, sugar is definitely the best!

what……

Just as he was savoring the moment, Hoshino Hideyuki suddenly noticed some leaping shadows on the distant horizon.

Is that... a dolphin?

How lucky!

But why do these dolphins look like they are fleeing in the opposite direction?

The sordid act of using small fish as Fiji cups has been discovered, and the mermaid warrior and penguin boy are chasing after them.

Hideyuki Hoshino smacked his lips.

A few hours later.

The sun had set, and the breeze on the deck had cooled down.

Most of the people, including Fox and Ijichi Kiku, returned to their cabins to either rest or go to the casino and bars for entertainment.

However, the sailors in the ship's wheelhouse could not relax so much. In order to prevent people from having the opportunity to film a movie called "Monbo" many years later, they had to control the waterway and ensure safety, even at night.

Especially when they realize something is wrong...

"What? You're saying the ship keeps spinning in circles?"

The captain, who had been hurriedly pulled over by the second mate, rubbed his ears, unable to believe what he had just heard.

"I know this sounds absurd, but that's the truth..."

Beside him, the first mate pointed to the radar chart and explained, "For the past hour, we should have continued sailing south, and the equipment showed that our route was correct, but just now... cough cough..."

The first mate was a little thirsty, so the second mate took over and continued:

"Just now, all the data changed instantly, as if they were playing a joke on us. The latest results show that we have deviated from the course and circled a circle with a radius of five kilometers twice."

The captain took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"I don't think today is April Fool's Day?"

"Captain, if you don't believe me, feel free to verify it. I just did the same thing as you; I even used stargazing as an excuse..."

Twenty minutes later.

The captain confirmed what his sergeants had said.

The Mengbo is really spinning in place uncontrollably!

All the equipment is practically malfunctioning, including the communication equipment; they are now unable to contact the outside world!

The captain slumped into a chair, muttering to himself:

"How is this possible..."

Could it be that her ship possesses a soul, and the sailors' actions have displeased her? How should this situation be resolved? Should she ring the ship's bells, light incense, and recite binary prayers?

"That's certainly possible, Captain, but you just need to see the other side of this world."
