"Oh! O-Of course it isn't! A-And I assure you, I have! The time I filled the position of a detective was... well— okay, I'll be honest, it was just a role for a lighthearted activity set in place for the birthday party of a friend..." Amy's birthday party, where Sonic got murdered. Ah~, good times, good times.
"...But it turned out that there actually was real ongoing foul play behind the scenes, and we successfully deduced both who the game's original 'killer' was and discovered the true source of the mishaps that had brought about real danger! So despite the set of circumstances, it's far from a game to me. I take the act of assessing a situation extremely serious. Promise! I really do wanna help you with the mystery afoot!"
Sure, the other didn't know about the kid's 300 IQ, the countless world-ending plots he's formed a plan of action for, or how he always, without fail, even when he doesn't want to, consistently predicts the thrilling twist of any mystery show he decides to watch alongside his friends. (Logic just ran through his blood, sue him!) But it was obvious that the two-tailed fox simply wanted to help. That much couldn't possibly be misconstrued.
