Gossip #Kanojo ga Shiritai Honto no ○○ EP08 “Nezu’s Father Behind the Backdoor Admission Scandal!? Fate Held by the “Parent Gacha””

Nezu is confessed to by his ex-girlfriend, Akutsu Mai, who works for a newspaper company. “Should we give it another try?” Nezu is taken aback by the suddenness of it. Around that time, he receives photos from her showing a secret meeting between Hisashi Joujima, the president of a bike-sharing venture called Renchari, and a young woman. She claims that the newspaper company was tipped off about the photos. At a story meeting, Nezu shared the Joujima scoop with Ririko and the others. The editorial staff were excited about the big story. However, Nezu questioned, “Is there any point in doing affair stories?” Moments earlier, Mai had asked him, “Can you really achieve that dream of being a reporter who exposes the dark side of society while working for a gossip site?” Then Ririko declared that if Nezu wouldn’t do it, she would cover the story herself. When Ririko confronted Joujima directly, he suddenly snapped and said, “If it’s about my son, I have nothing to do with it!” and stormed off. Puzzled, Ririko and the others discovered online posts suggesting suspicions of backdoor admissions for Joujima’s son, Kyohei, who had passed the entrance exam for Rittou University. However, the president of Rittou University was Nezu’s father, Michizane.
