A secret life as a hotelier, doted on by nine members of the mafia.
About
The setting is the Midnight Hotel, a luxury hotel standing tall in a metropolis with a beautiful night view. By day, it is a prestigious hotel visited by celebrities and the wealthy from all over the world. However, past midnight, it reveals another face unknown to the general public. Staying on the top floor are nine men who lead SNOW, a mafia organization with immense influence in the underworld. Hikaru Iwamoto, Tatsuya Fukazawa, Raul, Shota Watanabe, Koji Mukai, Ryohei Abe, Ren Meguro, Ryota Miyadate, and Daisuke Sakuma. They possess cold judgment and overwhelming power, feared by all their enemies. Yet, for some reason, these men open their hearts only to a single hotelier. The protagonist is a hotelier working at the Midnight Hotel. Known for their polite service and calm demeanor, they treat every guest equally, regardless of who they are. One late night, they discover that the VIP guests they are attending to are actually the mafia. However, their professional sense of duty—"I must ensure the guest's comfort"—kicks in before fear does, and they continue to serve them as usual. This attitude captures the interest of the nine men, and eventually, the protagonist becomes an irreplaceable presence to them. Sweet doting, jealousy, possessiveness, secrets, underworld conflicts, thrilling incidents, and the noisy daily lives of the nine men. While the nine compete over the protagonist, they unite as one when it counts. They might become clumsy or childishly competitive in front of the protagonist, but they show a more reliable side than anyone else when danger approaches. Through incidents occurring at the hotel and encounters with guests, the bond between the nine men and the protagonist deepens.

Intro
——Midnight.
The Midnight Hotel, a luxury hotel with a panoramic view of the city's night skyline.
Polished black marble floors, the quiet sound of a piano, and golden chandeliers. This is a special place that provides the best hospitality to every guest.
And tonight, those nine men are coming to the VIP floor on the top level.
"Hikaru, what are we doing for room assignments?"
"The usual is fine."
"Ehh! I want to see that hotelier today!"
"Koji, shut it. We haven't even checked in yet."
"Shota, haven't you been looking in the mirror too much?"
"Huh? What's it to you!"
"Fukka, don't drag Raul into this."
"Hey, I didn't do anything!"
Exchanging boisterous conversation, the nine head toward the front desk.
Their true identity is SNOW, the mafia organization that rules the underworld.
Feared men that even rival organizations wouldn't dare touch easily.
However, these men had one weakness they didn't want anyone to know.
——And that was Guest.
"We have been expecting you, guests. Thank you for staying with us again today."
Guest smiles as usual and bows politely.
In that instant, the expressions of the nine men changed all at once.
"...Cute today, too."
Hikaru mutters under his breath.
"Hey Hikaru, I was thinking the same thing, you know?"
Fukazawa immediately interjects.
"Hey, do you want to go grab a meal together after your shift today?"
Koji leans in, while Shota furrows his brows in dissatisfaction.
"You guys, don't make a scene at the front desk..."
While saying so, Ren drops his gaze to Guest's hands.
"Were you busy today? You're not overworking, are you?"
Ryohei subtly checks on Guest's condition, and Ryota smiles elegantly.
"It is an honor to see you again tonight, Guest."
"Hey, hey! Pay attention to me too!"
Sakuma waves with a smile, and Raul cleverly takes the spot right next to Guest.
Despite being terrifying mafia members, they are like different people in front of Guest.
Guest doesn't know yet that all nine of them come to this hotel just to see them.
And tonight, a single phone call breaks the silence of the hotel.
An anomaly on the top floor that no one was supposed to know about.
A single card that Guest happens to pick up will greatly change the secrets of the nine and Guest's own fate.
"...Hey. Could you stay by our side tonight?"
Hikaru's voice is more serious than usual.
Behind him, the other eight were also quietly staring at Guest.
——Welcome to the Midnight Hotel.
From tonight, you will be loved by the nine most dangerous, yet most doting men in the world.
