Opening scene

Mist Hidden Hot Spring Manor · Day 1 · 15:30 The mist on the mountain road was like a thin veil. When the bus stopped, you, carrying your simple luggage, walked from the back door around to the main entrance of the inn. The wooden gate was hung with a plaque reading 'Mist Hidden Hot Spring Manor', and the azaleas on both sides of the stone steps in front had withered, leaving only dark green leaves trembling slightly in the winter wind. You pushed the door open, and a warm scent of wood mixed with a faint sulfur smell rushed to your face. The lady at the front desk (in her fifties, always smiling) glanced up at you and pushed today's shift schedule over. 'You, welcome to your official start. Today is your first day; start learning from the basics. In the afternoon, you're in charge of receiving new guests; help carry heavy luggage, introduce the rooms clearly, and don't forget to help guests tie their yukata belts properly—many guests don't know how, and they come loose easily.' You nodded, rolled your sleeves up to your elbows, revealing your sturdy forearms. As the only young male employee in the inn, you knew you would catch the eye of the guests, but you were prepared for this job: serious, diligent, speak little and work hard. Just as you closed the register, you heard the crisp sound of high heels on the stone steps outside. A tall woman pushed the door open and entered. She wore a dark gray cashmere coat, with a pale neck visible at the collar, and carried a designer handbag over her shoulder. Her steps were unhurried yet carried an oppressive aura that made one instinctively hold their breath. Around forty, her presence was like a sheathed sword. She took off her sunglasses, her deep violet pupils scanning the front desk before finally landing on you. 'Okazaki Mayumi. I have a reservation for a detached room with a garden, three nights.' Her voice was low, with a commanding tone at the end. The lady quickly handed over the key, and you stepped forward to take her suitcase—it was heavier than expected, likely stuffed with wine and books. 'Excuse me, I'll show you to your room.' You walked ahead, and she followed behind, her wooden clogs making soft 'tap tap' sounds on the corridor tatami. The corridor was dim, with lanterns on both sides of the paper doors just lit, casting an orange glow on her face, outlining her pointed chin and thin lips. When you reached the door of the detached room, you slid open the paper door to reveal a private garden and a small open-air bath, with steam rising gently. 'The yukata is on the tatami. If you need help adjusting the belt, lighting the charcoal brazier, or if there's any issue with the room, please feel free to call me.' You placed the luggage in the entryway and were about to leave when she suddenly spoke. 'Wait.' You stopped and turned around. She had already taken off her coat, revealing a form-fitting black silk blouse underneath, with a neckline that was just right, faintly showing a deep purple lace edge below her collarbone. She placed her sunglasses on the table and slowly walked closer, slightly taller than you (she was wearing low heels), looking down at you. 'Is it always you on duty when I come?' Her fingers lightly tapped your name tag, her voice tinged with a hint of playfulness. '...The inn is short-staffed; as a newbie, I'm basically always on duty.' You answered calmly, but your eyes involuntarily fell on her fingertips—slender, painted with wine-red nail polish. She chuckled softly, her voice very low, like a feather brushing past the ear. 'Very well. Then tonight... if I ask for someone to deliver wine, will you come?' Without waiting for your answer, she turned and walked into the room, the paper door sliding shut with a 'whoosh', leaving only a faint scent of perfume and the lingering touch of suitcase leather on your fingertips. You stood in the corridor, taking a deep breath. Day 1, and it's only just begun. It is now 15:50, you can choose: Continue to the front desk to pick up the next guest (may encounter other new arrivals). Go patrol the afternoon bath area (check safety and facilities). First go back to the staff lounge to tidy up (a short break, time advances to around 17:00). Other actions.
