At this moment, Isshiki Satoshi, Kuga Terunori, and Eizan Etsuya, dressed in yukatas, walked out of the inn.
"Hello everyone, today our inn has entered a brand new direction! Let's better celebrate our youth together!"
Isshiki Satoshi showed a charming smile on his face and introduced to the young and middle-aged female tourists around him, "Our inn is officially launching the Cherry Blossom Bathhouse, Chrysanthemum Bathhouse, and Camellia Bathhouse. By staying at our inn, you can enjoy mixed bathing with the boys representing the three bathhouses!"
"How embarrassing! This is clearly a host club style!"
Ryoko Sakaki and Yuki Yoshino, who came to visit Satou today, saw this scene and felt a chill.
"You've talked so much about host clubs, what are they? Shops that sell beef?"
Erina Nakiri asked with an innocent expression.
"Yes. I've been curious for a long time too."
Alice Nakiri was also somewhat unclear.
Both were young ladies from prominent families; one lived in a secluded social circle, and the other grew up abroad, so of course, they didn't know what a host club was.
14 "Huh? Miss Erina, you don't know?"
Ryoko Sakaki said with some surprise, then leaned into Erina Nakiri's ear and quietly explained.
"How... how disgraceful! To offer such shameless services in a perfectly good hot spring inn!"
Erina Nakiri's face immediately turned crimson, and she scolded.
Although mixed bathing is very normal in Japan, and some inns primarily use mixed bathing as a selling point, having signs advertising mixed bathing with young men still made Erina Nakiri feel incredibly embarrassed.
"Sounds like fun."
Alice Nakiri, however, her eyes lit up.
"However, Isshiki-senpai understands the guests' needs very well. He has an innate talent and intuition for this."
Tadokoro Megumi smiled somewhat reluctantly.
After Isshiki Satoshi's inn launched this service, it indeed caused a significant reaction among female tourists.
"So, which boys are in these three bathhouses?"
At this moment, a middle-aged woman with a full, fleshy face asked with great interest.
"Chrysanthemum represents nobility and purity, so representing this bathhouse is the straightforward and cute, childlike Chrysanthemum-kun, Kuga. Camellia represents nobility and resilience, so representing this bathhouse is the ruthless, cold-faced man of the underworld, Lord Eizan."
Isshiki Satoshi introduced himself and his two companions with a voice full of emotion, "As for the Cherry Blossom Bathhouse, it represents the brilliance of youth—I, Prince Isshiki!"
"Have you even thought of stage names?"
Yuki Yoshino and Ryoko Sakaki were immediately dumbfounded. "We thought it was just a host club theme, but we didn't expect it to actually be a host club."
"Ah, Isshiki-dono, please bathe with me."
"Kuga-chan, let me kiss you."
"Eizan-sama, please whip me."
The single female tourists nearby immediately became excited.
There was even a heavily made-up woman with a barrel waist who pulled out a business card and handed it to Isshiki Satoshi. "You're still students, right? How about coming to my shop after you graduate? You're the most promising boys I've ever seen; I'll definitely make you the top hosts."
At this point, even Satou couldn't bear to look, and everyone else's mouths were agape, speechless.
"Several seniors, you're really making great sacrifices to pass the exam smoothly."
Tadokoro Megumi forced a smile.
"Are they? I think they seem quite happy, don't they?"
Yuki Yoshino couldn't help but retort.
"Hehe, women are really troublesome."
Looking at the women surrounding him, Eizan Etsuya smiled helplessly.
"Isn't that the truth? As expected, I'm just too handsome and too popular with women."
Kuga Terunori also shook his head with a wry smile.
Everyone: "…"
"It's really a waste of talent for Isshiki not to be a top host at a host club."
Kobayashi Rindo, who had also rushed over upon hearing the news, sighed.
"But Isshiki is truly a genius in this regard."
Eishi Tsukasa seemed a little envious.
"Oh, by the way, why don't we try to imitate them too!"
Kobayashi Rindo suddenly perked up.
"I don't really care."
Nagi-no-ki Touko looked indifferent.
"Me too, if it means passing the exam."
Saito Soumei said indifferently.
"But, two seniors, it seems you're not suited for this line of work, are you?"
Yuki Yoshino said with a somewhat forced smile from the side.
Kobayashi Rindo scrutinized their faces, then nodded seriously and said, "You have a point."
The most suitable was only Eishi Tsukasa, but imagining his slender frame being trampled by countless middle-aged women with barrel waists and beefy faces, Kobayashi Rindo shivered.
On the way back, Yukihira Soma frowned in thought.
"Yukihira-kun, what's wrong?"
Tadokoro Megumi couldn't help but ask.
"Isshiki-senpai's inn business is too popular; we're going to be overshadowed like this."
Yukihira Soma said, "How about we also set up something similar?"
"No!"
Erina Nakiri and Alice Nakiri said in unison.
"Huh? Why?"
Yukihira Soma looked at the two of them, a little bewildered.
The two girls' faces immediately flushed. Erina Nakiri even looked at Alice Nakiri with some surprise, wondering why she reacted so strongly.
"Anyway, that's not allowed."
Alice Nakiri said huffily.
"That's right."
Erina Nakiri nodded and said, "Alice, you've finally grown up; you know how to consider Far Moon. We Far Moon absolutely cannot do such a dishonorable thing."
"If it's just the three of you, I don't really care."
Alice Nakiri stuck out her tongue and said to Yukihira Soma and the others.
"That's not allowed either."
Erina Nakiri flatly refused, "It's too scandalous."
Yukihira Soma's host club plan was thus put on hold.
On the fourth day, Satou and the others' inn occupancy rate finally exceeded seventy percent, but it was still a little short of ninety percent.
Isshiki Satoshi's host bathhouse, however, became extremely popular among female tourists, with business booming every day.
Finally, on the fifth day, the third-year students also introduced their inn's special feature: the eating contest challenge.
