Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful fox

The fraudster's experience told him that there was something wrong with the man's expression when he spoke just now.

Okay.

How dare you lie to Mr. Fox?

I've made a note of it for you. Wash your anus and wait. I'll give you some super glue when I'm done!

He curled his lips and turned to ask for directions from another short-haired, slightly plump young man passing by.

"Building 12? Then you're going the wrong way... I'm going there too, so come with me!"

Compared to the previous person, this slightly fat young man was much more enthusiastic and sincere. He not only took the initiative to lead the way for Hoshino Hideyuki, but also asked with a smile:

"Are you also going to audition for extras?"

Hoshino Hideyuki nodded and said, "Well, I got tired of being a convenience store clerk and wanted to try another part-time job, so I came here."

"I see... Well, I actually went there for an interview as well, but my purpose was different from yours. I wanted to get closer to the idol..."

As he spoke, the slightly plump young man carefully took out a leaflet from his shirt pocket and showed it to Hoshino Hideyuki with the photos of three girls printed on it:

"Have you heard of AS Magic? They're a great idol group! Although their popularity has declined a little bit now, they will definitely be able to go to the Budokan in the future!"

"They will be in the seventh episode of The World Is Not Good, and that's why I came here... Let me tell you, their new album... You must check it out..."

The fox blinked.

Good, now he knew why this brother was so enthusiastic.

It turns out that the idol fan's missionary desire has arisen, which is not surprising.

It seems that in their current state, they wouldn't even blink if they were sent to use a nuclear bomb to blow up King Kong.

Hoshino Hideyuki smiled and echoed the other party's words, then found an opportunity to remind him, "By the way, if you look at it this way, we seem to be competitors. The crew doesn't offer many places."

"what?"

"So, is it really okay for you to be so enthusiastic about me?"

Facing the fox with a smirk, the chubby young man seemed to have just realized this and stood there in a daze.

After a while, he scratched his head awkwardly:

"Well, this, ah, it doesn't matter! It's just a competition, it all depends on your ability! Besides, if you can like AS magic because of my introduction, then I will also win!"

"Ha, that's right~"

Hoshino Hideyuki looked up and saw that they had already reached the door of Building 12, which looked like a castle tower, so he said to the slightly plump young man:

"Anyway, thank you for leading the way. Good people should be rewarded. I will contribute some money for the album when I return."

After saying that, he walked into the building first without waiting for a reply.

The instructions here are more complete.

He followed the signs all the way, signed up on the first floor, and was then asked to wait at the door of a room on the third floor. A few minutes later, he saw someone walk out and he went in.

"Please take a seat."

There were two people sitting in the room, one looked like an agent, and the other...

The man who acted like an agent said, "This is Mr. Kimura, the assistant director of the crew."

"Hello, Mr. Kimura. Nice to meet you. My name is Azusagawa Akihisa..."

"Hello, Azusagawa-san..."

After a few simple polite words, Kimura said to Hoshino Hideyuki, "Azusagawa-san, you know that the extras we recruited this time will go to Nara Prefecture with the crew, right?"

Hoshino Hideyuki nodded and said, "I know."

"That's good... Because we have to shoot in Nara for a total of ten days, it's not easy to change people in the middle, so even if you are an extra, our requirements will be very high. Please take it seriously..."

After explaining for a while, Kimura looked at the paper on the table and said, "Your resume says that you have acted in "Unnatural Fall" and "Chicken Investigation Team 404", and even had a line in the latter, right?"

"Yes."

"What line?"

"Don't look back, bro. I'm your sister-in-law!"

"?"

Kimura frowned slightly.

Is there this sentence in "Cockroach Search Team 404"... Hey, it seems so... and it does sound very cocky...

Under the influence of Hoshino Hideyuki's illusion, he finally nodded and said:

"Well, it's good to have a foundation."

"Well, let's pretend we're shot by an arrow and fall to the ground. It's probably right here in the shoulder..."

Although Kimura said this, in his heart, he had already secretly given Hoshino Hideyuki a cross.

The reason was simple, he felt that Hoshino Hideyuki was a little too handsome, and if he were to be a temporary actor with this appearance, he would steal the roles from the main actors.

Especially since Kitagawa is the lead actor this time, he will definitely make a scene if his role is taken away from him...

So he thought, let's just forget about this person.

But we can exchange business cards afterwards. After all, this face is really good, and maybe we can work together in a drama in the future.

Well, anyway, I'll just pass him over on the grounds that his acting skills are not up to par.

Extras are usually terrible at acting anyway, so this is a tried and true excuse... Huh? Wait!

"Ugh!"

Kimura widened his eyes and watched Hoshino Hideyuki covering his shoulder, his body trembling, his facial features distorted, and he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.

This expression, this action... No, why are there even beads of sweat on his forehead!

His face turned pale!

The pupils are dilated!

The agent at the side was even more exaggerated, and asked in a daze: "Mr. Kimura, this, this doesn't look like acting... Could it be that his heart just stopped beating and he really died suddenly?"

"I go……"

Pretending to die becomes real death? Don't act so seriously!

Kimura swallowed his saliva, feeling a little unconfident, and hurried forward, wanting to squat down and feel Hoshino Hideyuki's breath.

At this moment, Hoshino Hideyuki suddenly raised his head and asked with a smile:

"Mr. Kimura, am I qualified?"

"what!"

Kimura was startled, and it took him a few seconds to realize how exaggerated his performance was.

The corners of his mouth twitched as he said:

"It's passed..."

"No, I should say, Azusagawa-san, you... you are simply a genius!"

Of course~

The little fox smiled slightly and thought:

Acting, I'm a professional~

If you don't say cut, I can act out the corpse spots on your teeth!

Chapter 149 Anyone who helps the fox will be rewarded!

Although Kimura still felt that Hoshino Hideyuki would steal the show, he really couldn't find any good reason to eliminate him.

No, to be more precise, it was such superb acting skills that made him admire Hoshino Hideyuki's talent, and he wanted to teach him a lesson no matter what.

There is no other way. Afterwards, I discussed with Director Fujiwara and arranged a marginal character who would not appear at the same time as the main character but would have lines...

With this thought in mind, Kimura shook hands with Hoshino Hideyuki and explained to him what to do next.

For example, the specific departure date is two days later, what procedures will be handled during this period, when will the training class be arranged, blah blah blah...

Hoshino Hideyuki wrote down everything, thanked Kimura, and left the house.

“So easy~”

He stretched and prepared to go home.

However, shortly after leaving Building 12, when passing by an Edo-style izakaya, he suddenly noticed a commotion.

"what!"

But a girl of about sixteen or seventeen was about to walk down to the second floor of the izakaya when the stairs suddenly turned into a flat plate. She screamed and fell to the ground unexpectedly, sliding all the way down the stairs and finally falling into a pool filled with an unknown white liquid.

After climbing out of the pool, her whole body was covered with unknown liquid. After coughing several times in succession, she finally couldn't help but burst into tears, which sounded particularly miserable.

At this moment, the flat-nosed man in a casual suit rushed out from the corner, threw the water bottle in his hand to the ground, and cursed the girl:

"Just being surprised and scared is fine, but crying is not the point! This is not the effect we want at all. What the hell are you doing, you idiot!"

The girl sobbed and said, "But, but, you didn't tell me there would be a trap here..."

"No buts, it's written in the contract that if you want to film The World Is Not Good, you have to film our variety show as well! The selling point of this show is to play pranks anytime, anywhere!

"Your agency asked us for help to save its declining popularity. What's the point of saying you can't stand it now? If you can't stand it, get out!"

The man said sternly: "You idols, really, you have no professional ethics at all..."

At this time, Hoshino Hideyuki recalled the information he had read and recognized that the man was Ishii Ryohei, the producer of The World Is Not Good.

The girl was a member of the magic idol group AS whom I had just seen on a promotional leaflet not long ago.

Now it seems that this idol group is not only going to film a TV series, but also agreed to film a late-night show...

That was indeed a bit tiring.

Hoshino Hideyuki recalled the Japanese late-night variety shows he had seen, like a fake elevator that suddenly fell, or various large-scale games with software hardening as the theme...

Well, except for professional comedians or actresses doing double-row action scenes, normal people probably can’t stand it.

At this time, Hoshino Hideyuki heard several people carrying prop swords whispering beside him.

"That guy must be Ishii from Tokyo Broadcasting System GWKK. How can a producer do the director's job? And he cursed quite harshly..."

"You don't know, right? The World Is Not Good was not originally his. It was brought out by another producer. After the first season became a big hit, he used his connections to snatch the second season away. It was a very ugly scene, and now everyone in the crew doesn't respect him."

The speaker said disdainfully, "So he has no choice but to do everything himself."

"Ha, so that's the reason..."

The fox nearby was also listening with great interest.

It’s worthy of the entertainment industry.

You can hear the watermelons when you come here. If you stay here for a few more days, you can save the money for watermelons in half a year.

Soon, things with the idol came to an end.

Hoshino Hideyuki turned and left, but before he had gone far, he saw a familiar face in a small alley.

It was none other than the slightly plump young man who had kindly led the fox before.

But he didn't look very good at the moment.

Apparently, he had also seen what had just happened, and was biting his sleeve in anger.

"Damn it, if I were an important person and had a say..."

Hoshino Hideyuki sighed, stepped forward and patted the latter on the shoulder: "Hey, the sleeves are innocent~"

"what!"

The man was startled and turned around to see that it was Hoshino Hideyuki, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's you, don't scare me... Um, what do you want from me..."

"Nothing, I just saw that you were not in a good condition, so I wanted to ask you~"

"Me? I'm in good condition, I... well, not quite..."
