Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

So, can you give it to me?

"Of course not!"

Seeing the girl's disgusted expression, Hoshino Hideyuki gave her a thumbs up.

"That's a plus."

"what?"

"I mean, let's forget about the competition and stuff."

Hoshino Hideyuki quickly composed himself and sighed, "If it were six months ago, I would have been happy to spar with you, but now..."

Damn it, don't back down!

Seeing this, the girl tried to provoke her: "Heh heh, scared yet? You look like a college student, right? You're clearly a male college student, but you're too scared to test your strength against a high school girl? You weakling~"

"It's not that I'm scared, it's just... I really don't have the strength."

Hideyuki Hoshino reached out and tugged at his hair.

He activated his Seventy-Two Transformations technique, and all his hair instantly transformed into a wig, which he then ripped off.

Under the beautiful moonlight, his bald head gleamed.

Girl: "?!"

Hideyuki Hoshino gave a wry smile: "I have egg-changing cancer."

Girl: "What kind of disease is that? How disgusting! I've never heard of it before..."

"Indeed, most female high school students rarely know this, just as male high school students sometimes don't know certain things about female physiology."

"However, that was indeed the illness I had."

Hoshino Hideyuki said slowly:

"A man's penis needs to be surgically replaced every three to five years."

"Some people have a special constitution and if they molt too frequently, they are prone to molting cancer, a malignant tumor that spreads from that part of the body to the whole body."

“I was diagnosed six months ago. Despite trying various methods, my condition has not improved. The doctor said that I would have to be hospitalized by next week at the latest, but even then, the survival rate is not very optimistic.”

"That's why I wanted to eat my favorite pudding one last time before being hospitalized..."

Hideyuki Hoshino spoke calmly, even revealing a smile that suggested he had come to terms with it.

The girl's face gradually turned pale.

This guy's tone and expression, and that bald guy, there's no way they could fake it...

So, he... he really has a terminal illness?

Is this pudding really that significant?

However, I wanted to snatch the pudding away, and even provoked him, calling him a nobody...

Damn me!

“(((Na)))”

Hoshino Hideyuki held the pudding in both hands and handed it to the girl.

"I certainly can't compare to you in sumo wrestling or anything like that, so I'll give you this pudding instead."

"Thinking about it carefully, its nutrients wouldn't mean much to me, but if I gave them to you, they would surely translate into more smiles over the long future, right? That would make the world a better place~"

click!

Before Hoshino could finish speaking, the girl bowed deeply, so quickly and with such force that the sound of bones colliding could be faintly heard, as if someone from Tianjin had struck a clapper nearby.

Please, please don't say that!

"You can definitely beat egg-changing cancer!"

"I don't want the pudding. But please, you must accept this. I misspoke earlier, so please accept this as an apology!"

Ten 10,000 yen banknotes were lined up in front of Hoshino Hideyuki, with Fukuzawa Yukichi and the other people printed on the banknotes posing and making faces at him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Could it be that she's a rich woman?

I kind of want it...

Despite having just made a lot of money from Fujiwara Aiko, Hoshino Hideyuki is actually a rather poor fox.

After all, it's not always possible to make a lot of money, and most of it often has to be donated, otherwise it would go against Inuyama Tetsu's original intention of cooperating with him.

Unfortunately, he had a sweet tooth, and the breakfasts and dinners that Inuyama Tetsu made were not very good.

So he frequently went out for extra meals or bought boxes of desserts costing thousands of yen, his Engel coefficient was almost 99%... A million yen wouldn't last him long at all.

pity……

Even if you want it, you can't earn this kind of money.

"Please take it back!"

Hoshino Hideyuki firmly placed Fukuzawa Yukichi and the others back into the girl's arms, and said earnestly, "I appreciate your kindness, thank you, but please leave them for those who need them more."

"But, but..."

After some polite refusals, the girl took the money and left with mixed feelings.

Gazing at that slender and adorable figure, Hoshino Hideyuki fastened the wig back onto his head, instantly making his hair thick and bushy again.

Then he opened the pudding box.

"She's such a good girl. Am I hurting her too much? Am I some kind of despicable fox?"

"Ya Bai, the pudding is so delicious!"

"The guilt melted away along with the sweetness~"

Chapter 4: Why is even the fox doing a lottery?

Late at night, on the rooftop of an unfinished building from the Showa era.

boo~

Maki Aoyama spat out the lollipop in her mouth, adjusted her glasses, and said, "Egg cancer? There's no such disease."

"Yes! I found it!"

Asuka Tendo handed over the phone.

"Pfft~"

Maki Aoyama chuckled as she took the phone, tapped a few times casually, and switched pages.

"This is a website specifically for pranks. Look, there's an explanation here."

"How is that possible! He's clearly bald!"

"Maybe he was bald to begin with? It's said that some young people believe that doing 100 sit-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 squats, and a 10-kilometer run every day will make them stronger, but they end up balding themselves."

As the evening breeze blew, Aoyama Maki stretched, and under the moonlight, her stunning curves, so different from Tendo Asuka's, were on full display.

It's just a pity about the buttons on the lady's suit; they look like they're about to pop open.

"In short, Asuka, you've been fooled~"

one second.

two seconds.

Three... Bang!

"Damn it! Die!"

Maki Aoyama turned around and saw Asuka Tendo punch the nearby wall. Dust settled, but her small, white fist was unharmed. However, spiderweb-like cracks with a diameter of half a meter appeared on the wall.

Her face flushed red with embarrassment as she shouted, "How dare you deceive this genius with such a vulgar lie! I'll never forgive you next time we meet!"

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No wonder she has the nickname "super strong woman".

Should we hold a moment of silence for that young man in advance?

But honestly, I'd like to meet this interesting little brother myself!

Ah, my craving for cigarettes is acting up again.

Maki Aoyama put the lollipop back between her lips.

Just then, another gust of wind blew by, causing her long, black ponytail to flutter in the wind.

"Gulp~"

Her nostrils twitched, and she whispered a reminder:

"Asuka, calm down, a cannibal has appeared."

"Know it."

Asuka Tendo tossed her hair, regaining her composure, and walked to Maki Aoyama's side, coldly watching the dark figure at the bottom of the building:

"Watch me crush him into mud!"

"Ah!"

Nearly 100 kilometers away, Hideyuki Hoshino sneezed.

Is someone talking about me?

Fujiwara Aiko? The one with the twin tails? Or Sato Shizuka? Saiki Airi? Ishihara Rika?

Forget it, I've fooled too many people, I can't remember them all.

"Hey, going to pay homage to the mountain at night, whose hand is that with your arm around my shoulder? If you're feeling bold, just follow them. Might as well go all the way!"

He hummed a song as he walked to the third floor of an inconspicuous little building on the street and opened the door at the end of the corridor.

Behind the door is a one-bedroom apartment.
