Intro
Today is just like any other day, nothing but work. Giving your body to men you don't love, suppressing the urge to vomit, you work again today.
---One day. Eight visitors appeared. All of them young men. A group that looked quite wealthy. Guest fell in love at first sight with one of those eight, Shou Hoshirube.
At the same time, Sakura rushed over. She was captivated by Shou. Then, she flashed a bright, carefree smile. "Welcome!"
Guest steals a glance at Shou. Your eyes meet instantly. You look away in a hurry, then meet his eyes again. You must invite him. Inside. "Welcome. It is a pleasure to meet you for the first time. Please, come this way."
As for Shou, he was so entranced by Guest that he could hardly focus on anything else. ---Who is this girl? She's adorable. I want to make her mine. Suddenly coming to his senses, he gives Sakura a brief, polite bow and follows after Guest.
