Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

Even a single glance during an auditorium speech is enough to memorize every face in the room, and a single pass through a dictionary is enough to recite it backwards.

There is some scientific explanation for this, but the scarred maid felt that those explanations were still not strong enough and could not adequately demonstrate her young mistress's strength.

Therefore, at this moment, she would not take Yukiho Amamiya's words as nonsense.

Who exactly is he?

"I'm curious."

Yukiho Amamiya gazed at the diverse crowd of passersby outside the window, a smile revealing two dimples at the corners of her mouth.

The car stopped quickly.

Outside is the studio of an artist sponsored by the Amamiya family.

Every weekend, Yukiho Amamiya would come here to practice drawing.

But just as she was about to enter, a taxi stopped beside her, and the maid who had left earlier came out and whispered in her ear.

"Did we lose them...?"

"Because you suddenly couldn't remember that person's face?"

Amamiya Yukiho frowned slightly and quickly tried to recall the face of the reporter, only to find that she had failed as well.

It's actually true...

"Alright, let's leave it at that."

"I believe that if we are destined to meet again, we will meet again sooner or later."

Amamiya Yukiho smiled even more brightly.

She dismissed the maid and went into the top-floor room of the studio to begin her sketching practice for the day.

The goal of the practice is the same as last week, the week before last, the week before that, and dozens of weeks before that.

It's a fox.

The young lady hummed a song, comparing it with the video-like memory in her mind, breaking down the fox's movements after biting her into frame by frame, and choosing one frame to draw on paper.

"Uh huh huh~"

"If fate allows, we will definitely meet again~"

"At that point, no matter how much you bite, I won't let go!"

Chapter 35 I'm such a thrifty and good-natured fox!

An hour ago.

After finishing his "Mirror Viewing Flowers" session, Hideyuki Hoshino stopped in front of a maid café.

On the surface, he was admiring the hardworking maid-dressed girls inside, but actually... ah, actually he was doing the same thing.

However, he still spared some attention, using the shop window as a mirror to observe the movements of the real maid who had been following him for a long time.

He quickly confirmed that the other party had lost sight of their target.

Thank goodness, people like Ichikiku are one in a million.

But then again, you only exchanged a few words with me and then sent someone to follow me, Ms. Amamiya Yukiko. I know you are curious and playful, but isn't this a bit too willful?

Indeed, it's best to avoid this woman for now.

"Excuse me, sir, would you like to try our newest cat-eared girl-themed curry omelet rice? It's delicious!"

Inside the café, a maid noticed that Hoshino Hideyuki had been standing there for a long time, so she came out to greet him.

When she got closer and saw his face clearly, her breath caught in her throat.

so hot……

Oh my god, I absolutely have to bring this customer in!

Being his maid isn't about serving him, it's about being served!

However, Hoshino Hideyuki waved his hand, shattering the maid's fantasy:

"Sorry, I already have an appointment."

"This, this is it..."

"Besides, I don't think cat-eared girls are interesting at all. When humans wear cat ears, it results in four ears growing on their heads. Doesn't that look strange? It's like having four eyes. It's practically deformed! So take my advice and stay away from cat ears! Stay away from any elements related to cats!"

After saying that, Hoshino Hideyuki disappeared around the corner.

The maid stood there stunned for several seconds before she reacted.

This handsome guy... could he be allergic to cats?

the other side.

Hideyuki Hoshino flagged down a taxi.

He wasn't lying; he really did have an appointment today.

The destination was a Sichuan restaurant he really liked, and the person he was meeting was naturally Ichiki Kiku, with Sakai Yui also joining them. As for Inuyama Tetsu, he was always unable to participate in the fox's extra meal activities because he often had to go back to the police station to work overtime.

"Haha, sorry I'm late~"

Twenty minutes later, just as the first dish, boiled sliced ​​pork, was served, Hoshino Hideyuki arrived at the restaurant.

Kikuri Ijichi rested her chin on her hand and said:

"You started sending me messages twenty minutes ago, trying to remotely order food for me, and then you arrived at such a perfect time. I suspect the reason you were late was simply because you didn't want to wait!"

"Don't worry about the details!"

Hideyuki Hoshino smoothly sat down across the table and immediately started picking up some meat without even pausing for half a second.

"You have to eat the boiled pork slices while they're hot! They're so tender, spicy, and numbing—it's the best in all of Tokyo!"

"Hi~"

Sakai Yui waved her hand like a primary school student answering a question, and to her great respect, she picked up her chopsticks, took a bite, and then showed an expression of delight.

"Oh my gosh! (Delicious!)"

Hmm, this should be the background music for "Little Master".

"Uh……"

For some reason, I feel like these two are on the same wavelength.

Kikuri Ichichi slapped her forehead and immediately joined in the food-grabbing frenzy.

There was no way to resist grabbing it; the fox's chopsticks were moving so fast they were blurry. This restaurant doesn't serve large portions to cater to the Japanese appetite, and if we wait any longer, all that will be left in the boiled pork slices will be Sichuan peppercorns!

fortunately.

Soon, the rest of the dishes were served, including twice-cooked pork, brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, and Mapo tofu, which is relatively familiar to the Japanese, saving the boiled pork slices from being devoured in seconds.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and practiced the "Clean Plate Campaign," Hoshino Hideyuki took out his wallet, glanced at it, and then put it back.

I almost forgot, I gave all the cash to that Hashimoto Misa.

"Kikuri, I have some good news for you~"

"Ok?"

"I suddenly saw a science article that said treating someone to a meal can improve their mood, regulate the body's endocrine system, and ultimately slow down aging and prolong life!"

"what?"

"And you, my friend, considering our sincere friendship, I have decided to give you this opportunity!"

Hideyuki Hoshino patted his stomach, got up, and left.

Before leaving, he left a message:

"Oh, by the way, could you pack another order of ice jelly for me? I'll pick it up from you later."

After the fox's silhouette had completely disappeared.

Kikuri Ichichi slammed her hand on the table.

"Isn't this just asking me to treat you?"

Damn it!

Oh well, she'll treat him then. She's already used to paying for the fox anyway.

Besides, he never got his money back from the yakuza he swindled last time, and in Iji Chikiku's eyes, it was essentially all his money...

"Pfft~"

Sakai Yui, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She rested her hands on the table, tilted her head to the side, and squinted at Ijichi Kikuri, saying:

"Kikuri-chan has really changed a lot. In the past, if something like this happened, you would definitely chase after her, or at least give her the middle finger~"

"Huh, do I know how?"

"Of course you would. Back then, all you could think about was saving money. You wouldn't let a single yen slip by. You almost got into a fight with someone just to grab a good spot for a street performance."

"Ah ha ha……"

Kikuri Ijichi smiled awkwardly: "Well, a lot has happened in the past year, and people always have to change a bit."

"That's true, but I feel like it's more because Wen Shui-jun is around."

"cough……"

Iji Chikiku almost spat out the orange juice she had just tasted.

"Hehehe~"

Sakai Yui chuckled and asked, "So, did you do it?"

"puff!"

Great, the orange juice still sprayed out.

Kikuchi wiped her mouth awkwardly, remaining silent for a long time.
