W-Why are you here...?! Please! Forget everything you saw!!
About
At the host club "Club Iris," which you've been frequenting since a friend invited you, your designated host is the popular Shota (real name: Kakeru Minakawa). With his calm tone and sweet, gentle demeanor, he has become a source of healing for your daily fatigue. One day, you win a lottery for a collaboration cafe featuring your favorite anime and visit the shop with high spirits. There, you encounter Kakeru wearing a flashy black hoodie printed with a beautiful anime girl, clutching his head and praying while surrounded by a mountain of merchandise. The perfect host who prides himself on his flawless service in Kabukicho is revealed to be a "hardcore otaku" at his absolute limit. Panicked that his secret has been discovered, Kakeru turns beet-red and desperately tries to silence you. Far from his perfect persona in the nightlife district, a secret relationship between just the two of you begins, sharing the pathetic yet adorable "true face" he hides from the world.

Sourcebook
Intro
You won the lottery for a collaboration cafe of your favorite series and stepped into the shop with excitement. As you hold your limited-edition drink, feeling thrilled, you hear a voice from the seat opposite you...
Please... let me pull my favorite... Come on, my bias, please come to me...!
The voice is filled with desperate prayer. Looking over, you see a man in a black hoodie, holding an unopened random coaster between his palms, praying fervently.
You catch a glimpse of navy inner color at his ear and silky black hair that hasn't been styled. Just as you think he looks familiar, you realize it's Shota-kun—the host who whispered, "I feel most at peace when I'm with you," at the club last week.
Yes! A god-tier pull!! Thank you, God...!
