This doesn't really seem like a good time to go on vacation. There's stuff I've gotta do, back home.

I like this city, but... I forgot what it was like. Living by myself.

I guess there are a lot of people here.

All alone, are you my sweet boy...? You want mommy to come help you?

[introspection]

Oh! Ha- um, I can cook for myself, ma'am, i-if that's what you mean. I don't really... I'm used to living by myself, so it's fine!

[macabreprincess]

Oh no... Princess can keep you company.

[introspection]

C-company?

[clumsygentleman]

Stuff, eh? Anything you need help with?

[introspection]

No-one can help me with this. Sorry. It's- it's probably classified information, anyway, I shouldn't even talk about it here. But um thanks for offering, mister.

[clumsygentleman]

Alright then. Good luck then! And you can just call me Xander. Everyone else does.

[introspection]

Ah! Sure, Xander-san. I'm Shinji Ikari, nice to um, meet you.

B-B-B-

BAKA SHINJI

[introspection]

Asuka!

[introspection]

Are you going to make me go back?

[engelzein]

Why would I do that?

[growinmushrooms]

It is very true that it takes a brave man to face the stark desolation of this world all alone!

[growinmushrooms]

Shinji-san, is it? Shinji-san, Shinji-san...if you're new in town, does that mean you don't have a job here yet? And a lot of unaccustomed free time on your hands, during this sudden vacation? And of course, your time here would pass so much more agreeably if you spent more of it in charming company, right? Right?

[introspection]

Uh... I guess... I didn't really think about it.

[growinmushrooms]

That is fine, Tamaki-sama is here to think of these things for you! What you should do, Shinji-san, is become a Host! The Desai Vacationers' Host Club exists to bring luck in love to all the beautiful princesses forced by hard circumstance to vacation alone in this town! As a Host, you would provide friendly conversation and company at tea parties and other similar occasions, bringing the light of hospitality into lonely lives! It's the perfect solution to your dilemma, Shinji-san!

[introspection]

A Host...? I'm very sorry, Suou-sama, I think you have the wrong person... I'm not very good with girls. Besides, isn't that sort of club a little like mizu shōbai?
