Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

His face flushed, he excitedly ran out, holding the autograph and thank-you note written by his idol.

Oh my god! I actually ran into her!

He still can't quite believe it's true!

Then, he remembered Hoshino Hideyuki from earlier.

He showed that person the way to the film set, and that person showed him the way to find his idol...

Is this what they mean by good people getting good rewards?

What a mysterious and capable person!

She's just like a fox spirit from a fairy tale who repays a debt of gratitude!

Ah, I really want to meet him again and thank him in person!

the other side.

Hideyuki Hoshino didn't bother to follow up on the slightly chubby young man's situation.

He's done what he was supposed to do, with every sip and bite.

What's next...

The fox spirit, who was trying to repay a debt of gratitude, is now going to take revenge on people!

You dare to give me, the fox, the wrong directions?

You're in trouble, you're in big trouble...

The fox narrowed its eyes as it looked at the naturally curly-haired young man under the eaves.

Chapter 150 Those who deceive the fox will be punished!

"Mr. Kimura, what a coincidence..."

In the smoking area behind the antique-style wooden house, a young man with naturally curly hair, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the film crew's assistant director, Kimura, come out to smoke but couldn't find a lighter for a long time. He hurriedly smiled obsequiously, took out his own lighter, and lit Kimura's cigarette.

Kimura paused for a moment, then said politely, "Ah, thank you. Wait, you are... the extra who just came for the audition?"

The naturally curly-haired young man nodded vigorously: "Yes, I really didn't expect you to remember me!"

"Well, your acting is pretty good. I remember you were in the performing arts club in college, right..."

The two chatted casually for a while.

Just then, a young man ran up to Kimura and said, "Ms. Hamabe's assistant said that Ms. Hamabe wants to drink bubble tea after removing her makeup, but she can't leave right now to buy it. She'd like to ask us for help..."

Behind the wooden wall, the fox eavesdropping twitched its ears.

Ms. Hamabe... Oh, Hamabe Sae?

A 26-year-old rising star actress, currently at the peak of her popularity, and rumored to be Kenichi Kitagawa's ex-girlfriend...

Was she also on the set of "The World Is Not Right"...?

On this side of the wall, Kimura frowned after hearing his subordinate's explanation and said with dissatisfaction, "You're asking us about this kind of thing? What a hassle. Is anyone free right now?"

The young man shook his head: "Because we're moving soon, most of our staff are out there..."

"Um, Mr. Kimura."

The naturally curly-haired young man suddenly interjected, "If you don't mind, then let me go."

Kimura hesitated for a moment: "This is actually the stage manager's job..."

"Although I haven't officially joined yet, I really want to contribute to the entire production team! Please believe me!"

"……All right."

Seeing the young man with naturally curly hair so insistent, Kimura nodded and handed the task over to him.

After leaving the smoking area, the young man with naturally curly hair clenched his fist excitedly.

By currying favor with the production team, the first phase of the operation was successfully implemented!

A good start is half the battle. So keep pushing your rivals aside, currying favor with big shots, climbing the ladder little by little, and finally reaching the pinnacle of acting!

He then boarded a bus immediately and headed to downtown Chiba City—the filming location was in the suburbs, and there were very few shops nearby; if you wanted to buy bubble tea, you had to go to the city center.

The fox who had been spying stepped out from behind the wall and clicked its tongue. Now it understood why this person had deliberately given the wrong directions.

So you'll climb the ladder by any means necessary, huh?

Let me add some more ingredients for you~

The fox smiled slightly, transformed into a pigeon, and followed the naturally curly-haired youth with a cooing sound.

Twenty minutes later.

Edge of the city.

The young man with naturally curly hair found the nearest shop, bought milk tea, and was about to head back.

Hoshino Hideyuki spotted his route, landed at the street corner ahead, transformed into an old woman, and then clapped his hands together, conjuring up a whole set of tools in front of him.

Tables, benches, tarot cards, talismans, necklaces, crystal balls—everything is there.

Then, he shouted at the young man with naturally curly hair:

"Young man, young man, stop!"

The young man with naturally curly hair slowed his pace, turned around, and saw that it was an old woman. He pursed his lips and decided not to pay any attention to her.

Hideyuki Hoshino was not discouraged; instead, he continued shouting:

"I sense an ominous aura about you!"

"You're going to have a very unlucky day!"

"You might slip and fall because of a banana peel! You might choke on a bottle of bubble tea! I'm not kidding, it really can be fatal!"

"Please be sure to take the old woman's amulet; it will protect you from misfortune..."

cut.

What era are we living in that people still use this kind of rhetoric to deceive others?

The young man with naturally curly hair quickened his pace and passed Hoshino Hideyuki.

but……

Although he didn't believe Hoshino Hideyuki's words at all, he subconsciously started to watch his step.

Looking around, there were bottles, waste paper, rats, and condoms on the street, but no banana peels.

And you still say I'd slip and fall because of a banana peel?

The young man with naturally curly hair smiled dismissively.

But right now.

Above his head, a strong and powerful "person" opened the window and casually threw out a banana peel, which hit him squarely in the face!

A banana fell from the sky and completely covered his eyes!

"What is that... Ah!"

Suddenly deprived of his sight, he couldn't see where he was standing. Just then, a gust of wind blew, carrying an empty plastic bottle to his feet, and then...

With a thud, the naturally curly-haired young man fell to the ground!

It hurts!

The coccyx is rebelling! It's shouting, "The heavens are dead! Are there no heroes left?!"

Why does the banana peel come off from the top? Does that make sense? It's not even shown like that in cartoons!

After a long pause, the naturally curly-haired young man gritted his teeth and stood up.

He picked up the spilled milk tea and walked back to Hoshino Hideyuki.

"Hey, old woman, did you deliberately have someone throw that banana peel down there? How despicable! You'll stop at nothing to cheat people out of money!"

Hoshino Hideyuki raised his eyelids slightly.

This guy who deliberately gives people the wrong directions in order to eliminate competitors actually has the nerve to say that, tsk tsk.

He responded slowly:

“Young man, you’ve wronged me. I didn’t do anything. It’s all because of the bad luck clinging to you. If we leave it alone, you’ll slip and fall again because of the cat, and those two cups of milk tea could even cause a fatal accident…”

"Pooh!"

The naturally curly-haired youth spat, then swung his right foot and kicked Hoshino Hideyuki's table hard...

Duang!

"Oh ho ho ho!"

...However, he was saddened to discover that Hoshino Hideyuki's small table was made of iron, and was hard and heavy.

Not only did he fail to kick, but the impact also made him feel a sharp pain, causing him to let out a sound like Tom the cat.

"You, you just wait!"

He glared at Hoshino Hideyuki with impotent rage, then limped away.

This time.

The naturally curly-haired young man was observant and attentive, thinking:

Kittens are so cute, how could they possibly hurt me?

That old woman must be trying to ambush me again, deliberately throwing cats at me!

We walked a short distance.

He suddenly saw someone walking towards him, holding a cat in their arms...

Yes, this must be that old woman's accomplice!

As the naturally curly-haired young man was thinking this, he tried to avoid the person, but the cat in the other person's arms seemed to be inexplicably stimulated. Suddenly, it meowed and jumped onto the road, quickly pouncing on him!

"Get out of here!"
