Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

"First of all, your legs aren't actually my favorite type. I've tried better ones, but don't be discouraged, you're not bad as a meal replacement either."

"?"

"Secondly, I am not a college student. Strictly speaking, I am only two years old and not yet of primary school age."

"!"

"Finally, I'm not even female~"

"?!"

Fujiwara Aiko's eyes widened.

What do you mean?

Wait, why are your chests getting flatter?

Why is there a bump on your throat?

In the blink of an eye, the innocent and lovely female college student transformed into a handsome young man who looked like a movie star.

Only those fox-like, alluring eyes remained unchanged.

"Qiang Qiang~"

Fujiwara Aiko was stunned.

Was she dazzled?

Magic? Spy-level makeup? Theatrical face-changing from a certain Eastern superpower?

He thought he had found the perfect prey, but it turns out he was the hunter and he was the prey!

Enjoying Fujiwara Aiko's surprise, the girl... no, the young man, grinned without any attempt to hide it.

Step, tread.

"It's about time..."

Hearing the police approaching, the young man stopped smiling and walked towards the high wall at the end of the alley.

"Ms. Fujiwara, although your heart is disgusting, your body is innocent after all. Thank you for the treat... but I'll pass on the love hotel, I'm a germaphobe. Well, goodbye~"

"Goodbye? No, no! If you report me, you won't escape either!"

Fujiwara Aiko scrambled to her feet, shouting, "You stole my money! You're not righteous! You're a double-crossing fraudster, and you'll be arrested just like me!"

"Only the female lead in a morning drama cares about justice..."

The young man smiled, narrowing his eyes: "What does this have to do with a little fox like me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed and transformed into a pink, fluffy ball of fur. Using the trash can and the air conditioner, he hopped and jumped over the high wall.

Fujiwara Aiko was completely stunned.

What was that just now?

That absolutely, absolutely cannot be explained by magic or a human skin mask!

At this moment, the police finally arrived.

"Hello ma'am, we are from the Tokyo Central Police Station. Please cooperate with us..."

"Officer, there's a monster! There's a monster!"

"Please calm down, monsters don't exist... Quickly, hold her down..."

On the other side of the high wall.

Hoshino Hideyuki jumped twice and landed on the ground, transforming from a pink-furred fox back into a handsome young man.

At the same time, a line of text appeared before his eyes.

[Operation successful, 5 cultivation points gained]

Chapter 2 Even a fox needs a dog friend.

That's right.

Hideyuki Hoshino is not only not a woman, but not even a man; he is a fox.

A fox that transmigrated from another world, bringing with it a system.

In his previous life, he was an ordinary office worker who worked 120 hours of overtime every month—strictly speaking, he couldn't even be considered human.

One day, he received news that his childhood sweetheart from the orphanage had successfully started a business and bought a large villa with a basement, but was still missing a housekeeper and wanted him to use her connections.

He was quite unhappy at the time. How could a man like him use a woman's back door?

What? A monthly salary of 30,000 with no overtime, and a maid to do the work. He only needs to help his childhood sweetheart clear up her private life's distractions. He can even do it in bed. It's very easy.

kindness……

The next second, he packed his things and went to seek refuge there.

The main reason is that I'm worried the maids aren't very efficient, and my childhood friend is lazy; she always leaves her underwear lying around. What if someone steals it? I have to keep a close eye on her!

As a result, extreme joy gives rise to sorrow.

As soon as I stepped out the door, I was kissed by a cute and innocent dump truck.

Dudu Cart Sauce was quite professional. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in Tokyo, Japan, a place where the economy was in decline on the surface, and who knows what kind of evil things were going on behind the scenes. He had become a pink-furred fox.

At the beginning, he was almost slaughtered as wild game and made into fox hot pot—seriously, he dared to eat even pink-furred foxes, wasn't he afraid they were some kind of Fukushima mutant?

Fortunately, the family's eldest daughter was curious and playful, and she let him out of the cage in order to pet him.

It just so happened that he awakened the system at that time, and after some operation, he learned the transformation skill, which allowed him to escape and survive to this day.

Speaking of this system...

Let's return to the present moment.

Upon seeing the notification that the scam had succeeded, Hideyuki Hoshino hurried away from the bar, focusing his mind to conjure up more text on his retina:

[Name: Hoshino Hideyuki]

[Race: Laughing Fox~?^.???^?]

[Talent: Meditation and Cultivation]

[Talent Description: Deceiving is a fox's nature. You can gain cultivation points by deceiving others (which can be used for lotteries or to enhance skills and items). The stronger the deceived person and the more interesting their emotional reaction, the more cultivation points you will receive~?(???)?]

[Current Skills: Charm (lv1), Reflection (lv2), Seventy-Two Transformations (lv2)]

Current Items: None

[Remaining cultivation points: 5]

...As mentioned above, it's a troublesome system that requires deceiving people to become stronger.

When Hoshino Hideyuki first obtained the system, he refused to use it.

Couldn't it just be a sign-in system? They could just casually give you a million units of magnetic field power or something.

In his past life, he was a trustworthy father in a male dormitory and a pioneer in fighting fraud in a nursing home!

He neither knows how to lie nor wants to.

Unfortunately, the situation is better than the fox's...

Since we've already taken this cheat, we have no choice but to use it.

Ever since.

From stealing the first lollipop from kindergarten's Gian, to tricking a high school delinquent into jumping around, to turning a pink dress into a suit and selling it to a burly yakuza uncle, and timing it so that the magic would fail on the street...

Perhaps he truly has talent; over the course of more than a year, Hoshino Hideyuki has grown a great deal.

At least like today, with the combination of charm and 72 transformations, winning over Fujiwara Aiko and the like is a piece of cake for him.

"You only got 5 cultivation points, Miss Fujiwara, you haven't worked hard enough..."

The alleyway was already out of sight. Hoshino Hideyuki stopped and scratched his fox head, looking at his pitifully low cultivation points.

If you want to draw a prize, a 10-draw costs 10 cultivation points.

As for skill enhancement, Charm only needs 5 more points to level up, but he doesn't think it's necessary right now.

He wanted to be promoted to Seventy-Two Transformations and Viewing Flowers in a Mirror.

The power of the Seventy-Two Transformations goes without saying; it is the foundation upon which he now makes his living.

According to the system description, "Viewing Flowers in the Mirror" is a unique illusionary talent of the Laughing Fox.

Besides common illusion effects such as visual deception and hypnosis, its most distinctive feature is its ability to distort one's image in the memories of others or in photographic objects such as cameras, photo albums, and portraits.

Take Fujiwara Aiko as an example. After her skill is activated, even if the police are confused and believe her, she still can't clearly describe what Hoshino Hideyuki looks like.

If you check the surveillance footage in nearby shops, you'll only see another face.

According to Hideyuki Hoshino, in today's society where cameras are everywhere and everyone is shooting short videos, this skill is just as important as the Seventy-Two Transformations.

Although in theory, with his seventy-two transformations, he could change his face however he wanted and wasn't afraid of being exposed.

But in reality, changing faces frequently is quite troublesome.

Besides, he has a true self that deserves protection.

That is, the handsome young man he now possesses.

This is the appearance he naturally evolved when he transformed from a fox into a human. It has the fewest flaws, consumes the least amount of magic power to maintain, and is frequently and conveniently used in daily life, so it cannot be easily discarded.

In conclusion, Hoshino Hideyuki also wants to upgrade this skill.

Unfortunately, both the Seventy-Two Transformations and the Mirror View are very expensive. The former requires 20 cultivation points to go from level 2 to level 3, while the latter requires 15 points...

"Looks like we need to step up our efforts."

Thinking of this, Hideyuki Hoshino took out his phone and dialed the only number in his contacts.

"Hey, Tetsuya, I've taken care of Fujiwara."

A rather tired male voice came from the phone: "...So fast?"

"Of course~ In addition, two million yen was transferred to an overseas account. You should handle it in time. Half of it will still be mine, and it doesn't matter whether you donate the other half to the victim assistance association or whatever."
