Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

"Then, please tell me about your sister."

Half an hour later.

Hideyuki Hoshino knew everything.

Indeed, as her sister said, Ms. Hashimoto is a gentle yet strong older sister.

Their biological father died when they were young, and their stepfather treated them very badly, often beating and scolding them. Despite this environment, Ms. Hashimoto persevered in her studies and did her best to protect her younger sister.

After graduating from university, she got a good job at a company and started secretly giving her younger sister money. She also began looking for an apartment, planning to bring her sister out of the country...

Then, at that very moment, she met a male escort and committed suicide.

Well, it does seem a bit abrupt, which explains why the little girl doesn't believe her sister would commit suicide.

What bothered Hideyuki Hoshino even more was that Misa Hashimoto also said that her older sister would secretly give her 10,000 yen in pocket money every month...

However, according to police records, Ms. Hashimoto had just graduated and her monthly salary was less than 300,000 yen, which is not considered a lot in an expensive place like Tokyo.

If someone with that level of financial means were truly entangled with a gigolo to the point of suicide, they would probably have already emptied their wallet and been spending on credit. Where would they get the money to give to their family?

"By the way, Mr. Reporter."

At this point, Misa Hashimoto added, "I remember that the week before my sister died, she told me that she often felt like there was a pair of eyes watching her from behind... We suspected it was a stalker..."

"Ok."

After noting down another detail, Hoshino Hideyuki closed the notebook.

"Thank you so much for your candor; this is my reward."

He handed over 50,000 yen.

Misa Hashimoto was surprised: "W-why..."

“I agreed on the payment with your mother, but she didn’t tell me anything. I don’t think she should get the money.”

Hoshino Hideyuki smiled and pushed the money directly into the girl's hand. Just as she was about to refuse, he stood up and walked towards the door.

Just as he walked out of the bedroom.

There was another knock on the door.

A muscular man with dyed blond hair walked out of Hashimoto's mother's room, cursing as he opened the door.

Outside, the girl bowed slightly:

"Excuse me for bothering you, I'm Misa Hashimoto's classmate, I'm here to give her my notes..."

Hideyuki Hoshino immediately noticed the scar on the back of the girl's hand.

Oh my god...

Why is it her?

Chapter 33 The little fox has bitten people too.

The girl outside the door was someone Hoshino Hideyuki knew; her name was Amamiya Yukiho.

She had long, jet-black hair that reached past her shoulders, a delicate and beautiful face like a lotus emerging from the water, and a graceful figure like a swan on a tranquil lake.

Even someone as beautiful and elegant as Iji Chikiku would feel a sense of regret, like 4K meeting 8K, when placed next to her.

In addition, she is the second daughter of the famous Amamiya family, a very powerful financial group, as evidenced by the two uniformed maids following behind her.

In the eyes of the world, she was a typical unattainable beauty, a near-perfect young lady.

But in Hoshino Hideyuki's eyes, Amamiya Yukiho has another identity.

That was my benefactor.

When he first transmigrated, it was Amamiya Yukiho who opened the cage holding the fox, picked him up, and petted him, indirectly giving him the opportunity to escape.

However, unlike the foxes in other novels, Hoshino Hideyuki has not repaid the debt to this day—not because he doesn't want to, but mainly because he doesn't know what this young lady still lacks, and he doesn't want to get too involved with the upper class when he is not strong enough.

Contrary to his gratitude, he bit Amamiya Yukiho in an attempt to escape.

That's right, the scar on the back of his hand, which was as white as jade, was left by him.

Thinking about it carefully, I feel a little guilty.

all in all……

Hoshino Hideyuki didn't really want to face this woman right now.

Fortunately, the other party wasn't looking for him.

"Meisa's classmate?"

The blond man was Hashimoto Misa's stepfather. He was initially angry when he was called out of his room by the knocking, but upon seeing Amamiya Yukiho, he was immediately struck by her beauty and charm.

He swallowed hard, seemingly about to say something rude, but immediately noticed the cold gazes of the maids behind him.

Driven by a gut feeling, he changed his attitude:

"Haha, please come in then... Hey, Misa, your classmate is here!"

That being said, he only made a brief announcement; it was clear that he wouldn't actually provide any serious hospitality, like bringing water or snacks.

Misa Hashimoto stepped out from behind Hideyuki Hoshino and looked at Yukiho Amamiya in surprise.

"Amamiya-san, what brings you here!"

"The teacher just happened to cover the key points in math class on Friday, but you were absent due to a cold, so I thought I'd give you the notes..."

Amamiya Yukiho took a clean notebook with a lavender scent from her bag and handed it to Hashimoto Misa.

"Th-thank you, Amamiya-san. I never expected someone like you to come and help me..."

The latter carefully took it.

"Why be so polite? We're classmates and in the same club, so helping each other out is only natural. If you don't mind, you can just call me Xuehui from now on~"

As Yukiho Amamiya spoke, she revealed a flawless smile.

At this moment, she seemed to be glowing, sparkling, which was completely out of place in the messy living room.

Misahashi blushed immediately, as if it were a desecration to let Yukiho Amamiya stay there any longer, and hurriedly pulled her into her bedroom.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Outside, Hideyuki Hoshino blinked.

Are all young ladies like this nowadays? I inexplicably feel that she has the same alluring charm as me.

Oh, right~

Just before entering the house, Yukiho Amamiya suddenly turned around, blinked, and smiled at Hideyuki Hoshino:

"This gentleman has been staring at me. May I ask if we have met before?"

what.

What a surprise attack!

Hoshino Hideyuki replied with a smile, "I'm sorry, I was rude, but I've never seen you before, I was just thinking about something else."

"That's it..."

Amamiya Yukiho pondered for a moment, then, without asking any further questions, entered Hashimoto Misa's bedroom.

The two maids didn't follow; instead, they quietly withdrew outside.

Wow, that's quite a grand display.

This security is already better than Shinzo Abe's, isn't it?

Hoshino Hideyuki sighed inwardly and decided to end his interview trip for the day.

Unexpectedly, less than five meters from where he left the house, the blond-haired man suddenly chased after him.

"Hey, reporter, just a moment!"

In the semi-open second-floor corridor, Hideyuki Hoshino stopped.

"can I help you?"

"I have some good things here about my stepdaughter. Do you want them?"

The blond-haired man smiled and took out several photos from his pocket.

That's a photo of the victim, Haruna Hashimoto, wearing a sailor uniform in the past.

Judging from the angle, it was most likely taken secretly.

"Regular news agencies certainly don't need these, but if you put a picture on a tabloid or website, it'll probably attract a lot of attention, right? I'll sell it to you for 30,000 yen!"

"If you're willing to pay more, I have other good stuff here, hehehe..."

Hoshino Hideyuki narrowed his eyes and said in an unusually calm voice:

"Your daughter is dead, and you choose to sell me these photos at a high price?"

"These photos are valuable precisely because the people involved are dead!"

The blond-haired man stared at Hoshino Hideyuki without a care in the world: "Hey, buddy, you don't want to buy it? Don't be like that. Weren't you very generous when you gave my wife money? We're very poor, give us some more!"

"And ah..."

A hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes as he took out the fake business card made by Hoshino Hideyuki and fiddled with it in his hand.

"You were just alone with my second daughter in a room, weren't you? As a father, I suspect you've done something inappropriate! Young reporter, if similar rumors get out, won't it affect your career?"

Oops.

The transitions are so smooth!

Hoshino Hideyuki smiled.

Silently, the "Viewing Flowers in the Mirror" program was launched.

"Let's talk about this somewhere quieter, don't you think?"

"Haha, sure, sure."

The blond man laughed heartily, his eyes gleaming with intense greed.
