Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful scumbag.

Hideyuki Hoshino frowned slightly and stopped what he was doing.

It was at this time.

"Abe-san, Kondo-san, I saw everything that just happened."

A melodious voice, like that of a lark, came from above everyone's heads.

"That classmate didn't do anything; Abe bumped into him on her own."

Kondo Nozomi's face darkened. She turned to look at the second floor of the old school building, where there shouldn't be anyone. Sure enough, she found a girl leaning against the window frame, smiling at her. She said angrily, "Amamiya, what business is it of yours here!"

Hmm? Amamiya?

Hideyuki Hoshino looked up and gazed at the same window.

Under the setting sun, it truly was a face of exquisite beauty, worthy of being described as 8K.

Amamiya Yukiho...

its not right!

In my memory, she was clearly at the private Chikue High School!

How did she end up at the private Seiwa Junior High School? Wait, is the transfer student Sakamoto was referring to her?

She transferred schools less than a month after we last met?

If I had known she was coming, I wouldn't have come!

By the window.

Despite Kondo Nozomi's angry glare, Amamiya Yukiho's smile remained unchanged.

"Kondo-kun, you're mistaken. What do you mean by 'it has nothing to do with me'?"

"If I see that my classmate has been misunderstood, I should help clarify the misunderstanding."

"On the contrary, you went to so much trouble to lure people to the old school building just to do this kind of shady business. If this continues, your mind will become muddled and you won't be able to learn the proper skills to manage your life. That would be terrible."

In the end, Yukiho Amamiya sighed and said, "If Uncle Kondo knew that you had become like this, he would be worried that after he passed away, you would be exploited by your live-in son-in-law and end up picking up trash on the streets."

"You guy!"

Kondo Nozomi gritted her teeth, her eyes turning sinister.

"I was just being lenient with you before, and you're getting all smug? You want to see me pick up trash? That's hilarious. In the end, you're just the illegitimate daughter of the Amamiya family."

"Let's wait and see."

After saying that, Kondo Hii pulled up the bewildered Abe Yoshino and turned to leave.

As she passed Hoshino Hideyuki, she paused briefly, smiled with narrowed eyes, and said:

"Yagami-kun, since someone is here to testify for you today, I'll just assume you're innocent for now."

"But if you think you can get away with it because of that woman, you're sorely mistaken. I'll be keeping an eye on you."

The fox, seen as prey, blinked.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I like this challenge.

However, the real challenge was about to come for the fox.

"This classmate?"

In just a few seconds, Yukiho Amamiya came downstairs.

She smiled and bowed to Hoshino Hideyuki, her every movement as impeccable as before:

"Speaking of which, we haven't officially met yet, have we? My name is Amamiya Yukiho, and I'm a student in Class 3 of the second year of high school. Like you, I transferred here this semester. Please take care of me."

"My name is Yagami Touma, nice to meet you... Thank you for your help earlier, otherwise I really wouldn't know what to do..."

Hideyuki Hoshino quickly returned the greeting.

Come to think of it, this scene feels very familiar.

Yes, it's similar to the last time. I was framed by a villain, and then the young lady stepped in to save the day!

Damn it, am I trapped in some third-rate online novel author's made-up time loop?

No, now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to do what I did last time and flee quickly...

"Um, Amamiya-san, I still have some..."

"By the way, Yagami-kun."

Before the fox could finish speaking, Amamiya Yukiho interrupted her.

The young lady clasped her hands together, tilted her head slightly, and adopted a pleading expression that no human being with basic aesthetic sense could resist, softly saying:

"You just transferred here and haven't joined any clubs yet, right?"

"Would you like to come and visit my club?"

"To be honest, we recently got a warning from the student council because we haven't been able to get the minimum four members for our club, so please help us out!"

After speaking, she bowed slightly, her fair and delicate neck appearing and disappearing among her slightly disheveled hair, which was very alluring.

Finished.

There's no way to escape this.

Yes, before I was pretending to be a reporter, so I could run away at any time. This time I'm pretending to be a student, so the difficulty has increased dramatically.

As expected, I'm not very good at dealing with this woman...

Hoshino Hideyuki sighed inwardly, but asked outwardly:

"Amamiya-san, which club do you belong to?"

"Department for Research on Paranormal Phenomena"

Amamiya Yukiho smiled and took a step forward, gesturing for Hoshino Hideyuki to follow.

"And the subject of our recent research happens to be a fox. I remember you said that your favorite animal is a fox, right? Then you must get along very well with us."

"Huh? You knew about this?"

"Well, it's probably because you're more famous among the girls than you think. A lot of news has spread. Actually, even if you hadn't introduced me, I would have known your name."

Amamiya Yukiho blinked: "Don't underestimate my intelligence capabilities."

That's true.

Recalling the maid who had followed him, Hoshino Hideyuki secretly agreed.

He asked again:

"You said you're researching a type of fox, is it some kind of supernatural fox?"

"It is a kind of monster called the Smiling Fox."

"..."

Have you heard of Yagami-kun?

No, this is the first time I've heard of it.

"Oh, I see. Then I hope you'll like him!"

While talking.

The two returned to the new teaching building.

Amamiya Yukiho led Hoshino Hideyuki to the classroom on the second floor. There was a piece of paper on the door of the classroom with a chibi version of Sadako and the words "Supernatural Phenomena Research Department" on it.

She opened the door and gave Hoshino Hideyuki a welcoming gesture.

Hideyuki Hoshino went inside to take a look.

The first thing I noticed was the oil painting hanging on the wall.

A pink fox is running away.

Behind her, Yukiho Amamiya asked a question.

"Yagami paused for a moment. Could it be that he has seen this fox before?"

Chapter 72 How Did I, the Fox, Become the Commentator? (Please Read On!)

"I've never seen this before, it's the first time I've seen it. What is this?"

Faced with Yukiho Amamiya's question, Hideyuki Hoshino calmly told a lie.

He was very confident that, based on his extensive experience, the lie could not be seen through.

Absolutely impossible!

At the same time, he couldn't help but complain in his mind.

Who drew this?

This is too real! How could I not be stunned when I saw it?!

Miss Amamiya, what are your intentions in hanging such a painting in the club room?

Is it really necessary to remember this so deeply just because I bit you?

That woman is petty and narrow-minded!

Upon hearing Hoshino Hideyuki's answer, Amamiya Yukiho seemed to smile even more broadly.

However, she quickly changed to a regretful expression and nodded slightly, saying:

"That's true. After all, it's a smiling fox image that I drew based on my own imagination. How could Yagami have ever seen it?"

Then, without much hesitation, she smiled and gestured:

"Enough talk, Yagami-kun, come in."

Hideyuki Hoshino walked into the classroom and looked around.

This club activity room is about half the size of a normal classroom. In the center is a large, clean table with delicate refreshments.
