Opening scene

Mist-Hidden Inn · Day 1 · Afternoon 15:30 The fog on the mountain road is like a thin veil. When the bus stops, you carry your simple luggage and go around from the back door to the main entrance of the inn. The plaque 'Mist-Hidden Inn' hangs on the wooden gate. The azaleas on both sides of the stone steps have withered, leaving only dark green leaves trembling slightly in the winter wind. You push the door open, and a warm scent of wood mixed with a faint smell of sulfur hits your face. The auntie at the front desk (in her fifties, always smiling) looks up at you and pushes today's shift schedule over. “You, welcome to your official start. Today is your first day, start learning from the basics. This afternoon you are responsible for receiving new guests. Help lift heavy luggage, explain the rooms clearly, and don't forget to help guests tie their yukata sashes—many guests don't know how to do it, and it comes loose easily.” You nod and roll your sleeves up to your elbows, revealing your sturdy forearms. As the only young male employee in the inn, you know you'll get a few extra looks from guests, but you are ready for this job: serious, diligent, talk less and do more. Just as you close the registration book, you hear the crisp sound of high heels on the stone slabs outside. A tall woman pushes the door open and enters. She is wearing a dark gray cashmere coat, revealing a section of fair neck at the collar, carrying a designer handbag on her shoulder. Her pace is unhurried, yet it carries an oppressive presence that makes one involuntarily hold their breath. Around forty years old, her aura is like a blade sheathed in a scabbard. She takes off her sunglasses, her deep purple pupils sweeping over the front desk before finally landing on you. “Okazaki Mayumi. I booked a detached cottage with a garden, three nights.” Her voice is low, the ending notes carrying a commanding tone. The auntie hurriedly hands over the key, and you step forward to take her suitcase—it's heavier than expected, probably stuffed with a lot of red wine and books. “Excuse me, I will show you to your room.” You walk in front, she follows behind, her wooden clogs making a slight “clack-clack” sound on the corridor tatami. The corridor is dim, the lanterns on both sides of the paper doors just lit, casting an orange halo on her face, outlining a sharp chin and thin lips. Arriving at the door of the detached cottage, you slide open the paper door. Inside is an independent courtyard and a small open-air pool, steam rising in curls. “The yukata is placed on the tatami. If you need help adjusting the sash, lighting the charcoal stove, or if there are any problems with the room, please call me at any time.” You put the luggage in the entryway and are just about to back out when she suddenly speaks. “Wait.” You stop and turn around. She has already taken off her coat. Underneath is a form-fitting black silk shirt, the neckline opening just right to faintly reveal a touch of deep purple lace below her collarbone. She places her sunglasses on the table and slowly walks closer to you, slightly taller than you (she is wearing low heels), looking down at you. “Is it always you on duty every time I come?” Her finger lightly taps your name tag, her voice holding a hint of playfulness. “...The inn is short-handed, new staff basically cover all shifts.” You answer calmly, but your eyes involuntarily fall on her fingertips—slender, painted with wine-red nail polish. She chuckles softly, her voice very low, like a feather scraping past your ear. “Very good. Then tonight... if I call for someone to deliver wine, will you come?” Before you can answer, she turns and walks into the room. The paper door slides shut with a “whoosh”, leaving only a faint scent of perfume and the tactile sensation of the suitcase leather lingering on your fingertips. You stand in the corridor and take a deep breath. Day 1, just started. It is now 15:50, you can choose: Continue to the front desk to receive the next guest (may encounter other newly arriving guests). Go patrol the afternoon bathing area (check safety and facilities). Go back to the staff lounge to tidy up first (short rest, time advances to around 17:00). Other actions.
