Tokyo, but I'm a deceitful fox

Calm down first...

"Azukawa-san?"

"Ah, I'm fine. I just felt a little dizzy. It might be low blood sugar."

"If you don't mind, I have some chocolate on me..."

"Thank you, but no...wait, is it Yoshii brand milk chocolate? Sorry, I take it back, I want this! Thank you!"

After briefly dealing with the people around him, Hoshino Hideyuki rubbed his temples and ate chocolate in big mouthfuls while thinking.

First of all.

He had already registered and got on the car. If he ran back without talking to his target face to face, it would be too embarrassing. It would damage his reputation as the Smiling Fox and he would be laughed at by the little animals in the big forest!

In simple terms, now that you're here, you have to go and take a look.

Second.

Unlike the previous time when he pretended to be a student, this time Hoshino Hideyuki was very clear about Amamiya Yukiho's identity and also knew that she had the ability to detect lies.

So, as long as he carefully acts as an extra, pretending to be an introverted, socially anxious, and taciturn young man, and fully unleashes the power of his Level 4 Seventy-two Transformations, he should, perhaps, possibly, not be noticed?

Thinking of this, Hoshino Hideyuki breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little more confident.

At this time, Oguri Takuya said, "Azusagawa-san, what were you asked to perform during your previous interview?"

Hoshino Hideyuki immediately turned his head away and said, "I'm sorry, my intermittent social phobia has come back. Please treat me as a diploid fat otaku paramecium whose cell division has failed!"

Oguri Takuya:?

Brother, do you have any misunderstandings about social phobia?

rumble.

The bus drove all the way, from morning to afternoon, from the highway to the winding mountain road.

About eight hours later, when it was already getting dark, the crew finally arrived at their destination - Musashi Village.

This is a village that doesn't look small at first glance. Buildings stand densely along the hillside, and it seems that it can easily accommodate five or six thousand people.

However, if you look closely, you will find that most of the streets are dark on both sides. After dark, there are few windows that are lit, let alone street lights.

Only the area in the center of the village was brighter, but there were not many people on the road, only two or three old men and women, not even enough to play mahjong.

The village is surrounded by mountains on three sides except for the side with the road. Combined with the bleak street scene in the village, these mountains appear even darker at night, making people feel suffocated for some reason.

"It's similar to our hometown, there's no one around..."

Sitting in the front seat, his younger brother Shota Yoneyama said this while looking at the scenery outside the window, and his older brother Daisuke Yoneyama nodded in agreement.

Takuya Oguri at the back interrupted and said, "I checked online before I came here. This place was quite prosperous in the 1970s. There were silver and copper mines, and the population exceeded 8,000. At one point, they even considered upgrading it to a city."

"But then the mines were emptied, and the bubble era ended, so the village's momentum took a sharp turn for the worse. Now it relies solely on tourism to survive, and the population is only a little over a thousand, and most of them are middle-aged and elderly people. All the young people have gone to Tokyo."

The fox who was listening smacked his lips.

Well, the situation in Musashi Village is considered extreme in Japan.

Resource depletion plus aging, plus the crazy siphoning of the essence of the whole country by Greater Tokyo within 500 kilometers...

This is equivalent to throwing a little boy into a cave filled with a hundred eight-foot ladies. He will definitely be squeezed dry and cannot be saved.

soon.

The bus stopped in front of a large house with a plaque that read "Myokenyu", which was obviously a hot spring hotel.

The extras were taken off the car by the stagehands and went to their respective rooms to put their things.

On the way, Hoshino Hideyuki took one more look outside.

He saw the core members of the crew gathered together - including Ishii, Kitagawa, and a man with messy hair, who should be the director Fujiwara Takao.

Then, a hot spring hotel hostess (another name for the proprietress) in a kimono and a middle-aged man in an old suit came out, personally received them, and took them to a small stand-alone building on the other side.

It seems that there is another dinner party.

The guy in the suit, if Fox remembers correctly, is the new village chief of Musashi Village elected by the village council last year, Sasaki Satoshi, right?

As the village chief, he actually came out to receive us in person?

But think about it, for a village with a population of only a thousand, a crew of nearly a hundred people coming to film a movie is definitely a big deal...

Although he didn't show much in the car, before coming here, Hoshino Hideyuki, like Oguri Takuya, conducted a detailed investigation of the place, so he recognized the person at the first time.

If it were any other time, when he encountered this kind of situation, he would definitely transform himself into a fly and take a peek.

But when he thought that Miss Amemiya was also somewhere in the hotel at that moment, he immediately gave up the idea.

He curled his lips and obediently followed the other extras. The stage manager divided them into four groups according to gender and led them into guest rooms.

"Are you really staying in a guest room at a hot spring hotel?"

"Even though there are seven or eight of us together, it still feels too good to be true. It's like being on vacation!"

As soon as they came in, the two brothers Mishan from the same group became excited.

The stagehand who led the way smiled and reminded them, "Put your things away and take a 15-minute break, but don't fall asleep. I'll take you to the restaurant for dinner in a little while, and Assistant Director Kimura will also give you some training."

"it is good!"

Fifteen minutes later.

The extras were led to the restaurant again and had fried rice and beef stew with potatoes.

Although it is just a home-cooked dish, the amount of meat is very sufficient, and you can always add more if it is not enough.

The Yoneyama brothers were excited again.

"We've been on four film crews, but this is the first time we've eaten something this good!"

This time, even the experienced Oguri Takuya touched his chin and said in surprise, "They are so generous to the extras. Could it be that the sponsorship of the eldest lady of the Amemiya family is much more than I thought before?"

Hoshino Hideyuki ate the beef silently, thinking that it was probably the case.

Miss Amemiya has never been stingy when it comes to spending money on people around her.

If she wasn't greedy for Mr. Fox's body, wouldn't Mr. Fox want to eat her as a gigolo?

Just as the fox was thinking this.

Two groups of people walked into the restaurant from different doors on the left and right.

One group of people was Kimura and his assistant, who were obviously here for training.

The other group...

The first one came out, with long black hair that fell past her shoulders, a beautiful face like a snow-capped mountain, and a light pink kimono that was very suitable for the environment of a hot spring hotel. As soon as she came out, she immediately overshadowed all the people of the same sex in the restaurant.

Who else could it be if not Yukiho Amamiya?

Behind her was the scarred-faced maid named Kana Aragaki.

“Puff…”

Seeing this, the fox quickly covered his mouth to prevent himself from spitting out the food.

"Ms. Amamiya?" Not only the fox, but also the assistant director Kimura was surprised by the appearance of Amamiya Yukiho. He walked over and asked in a low voice: "Ms. Amamiya, you are not an extra, there is no need..."

Yukiho Amamiya tilted her head and smiled, and replied: "Mr. Kimura, as an actor, I am just a newcomer. Since there is training, of course I should listen with everyone~"

Faced with such a smile, even Kimura, who was used to seeing female stars, couldn't help but feel his heart beating faster. He could only nod and said quickly: "Okay, then, please find a place to sit."

Yukiho Amamiya bowed slightly, then found an empty table on the side where the female extras gathered.

Before sitting down, her eyes swept over all the other extras and lingered on Hoshino Hideyuki's face for a little while.

It was probably only about 0.5 seconds, probably because he was simply surprised by the fox's outstanding appearance.

However, this was enough to make the fox's hair stand on end!

Because he is very sure that once the young lady notices you, she will follow you for armed reconnaissance, just like the American fungus that discovered oil or the Han envoy who met the small country!

No, we must prepare early!

The fox rolled his eyes, secretly patted Oguri Takuya beside him and said:

"Oguri-san, I have a once-in-a-lifetime request. If you don't agree, I will choke myself to death with beef..."

Oguri Takuya:? ?

Do you think this sounds like something a socially phobic person would say?

Chapter 154 The heart is about to escape, no, the fox is about to escape!

"Huh? Can I go to the bathroom with you during the break?"

Oguri Takuya's eyes twitched: "That's it? You call it a once-in-a-lifetime request?"

Hoshino Hideyuki nodded seriously: "Brother Oguri, to be honest, I am extremely afraid of going to the toilet alone!"

"Every time I close the cubicle door, I seem to hear footsteps outside!"

"It was like a woman with long hair and red high heels approached me little by little, then walked to the next seat, stepped on the toilet and clung to the wall, staring at me with her white eyes, making my hair stand on end and I dared not look up..."

Oguri Takuya swallowed and said, "Stop, stop, stop. I'm going to get scared if you keep saying that. Okay, I'll go with you!"

"Thank you, brother!"

About half an hour later, Kimura's training was over.

What he talked about was not acting skills, but more about the work arrangements of the crew, such as when to get up, how to cooperate with makeup work, keeping the script confidential, who to contact in case of accidents, etc.

"Then, from now until tomorrow morning, everyone is free to move around, and you can soak in the hot springs if you want."

Finally, he said this and left the restaurant.

Then a waitress from the hot spring hotel brought in some Japanese sweets. Seeing this, the extras seamlessly switched to a post-meal rest state and started chatting while eating.

And Hoshino Hideyuki noticed that Amamiya Yukiho stood up!

"Brother Xiaoli, let's go!"

He immediately picked up Takuya Oguri and went to the bathroom first.

The toilet was only twenty meters away from the restaurant, and they arrived there after turning two corners.

At this moment, Hoshino Hideyuki suddenly stopped and looked around to check if there were any cameras.

"Azusagawa-san, what's wrong... uh..."

Oguri Takuya was quite confused, but before he could finish his question, Hoshino Hideyuki had already confirmed it and activated the Seventy-two Transformations first!

In less than a second, Oguri Takuya turned into Hoshino Hideyuki, and Hoshino Hideyuki turned into Oguri Takuya.

Then, Hoshino Hideyuki used the flower-viewing method on Oguri Takuya and said in a deep voice:

"Oguri-san, calm down, it's okay."

"Next, no matter who you talk to, don't take the initiative to introduce yourself. Leave this to me."

"Also, when you hear the name Azusagawa Akihisa, you will subconsciously think that the other person is talking about Oguri Takuya, that is, yourself."

"do you understand?"

Oguri Takuya nodded dazedly: "I understand..."

"Very good, let's go back~"

So, Hoshino Hideyuki and Oguri Takuya returned to the restaurant with their faces facing each other, arm in arm.

At this time, Yukiho Amamiya was indeed chatting enthusiastically with the extras. It was not an exaggeration to say that most people were conquered by her perfect manners and speech!

Especially the two Yoneyama brothers, their faces were filled with expressions like "Ms. Amemiya is so nice" and "I really want to be Miss Amemiya's servant"!

Damn, none of them are decent!

Here.

As soon as Hoshino Hideyuki and the other returned, Amamiya Yukiho turned around as if by telepathy and walked forward with a gentle smile:

"Excuse me, are you Oguri-san and Azusagawa-san? When I was chatting with the Yoneyama brothers just now, they kept mentioning you."

"Ah, sorry for being so rude. I'm Yukiho Amamiya. I'm here to meet you all in advance because we're going to be filming together in the next ten days..."

After what he said, what else can Hoshino Hideyuki say?
