Live A Hero Summer Survival Island Episode 3 (Abridged)

Rewind!
Este Bolta's beach area
Kirsch: Huh. Where's MC and the others?
Lilac: They called and said they're coming over, so they should be fine.
Pubraseer: I texted them that we'll wait for the next boat so they got time, but they haven't actually read it yet. Maybe they're rushing...?
Gorou: Eh, Isaribi's with them and he knows the place. Wanna drink with me in the meantime, Pubraseer?
Pubraseer: Sounds nice, but I may as well wait for them to get here.
Gorou: Aww...huh?
Gorou: !!
Lilac: What? ...the news?
Gorou: Muirauqa IV local news. They text when something happens, and apparently they picked up a speeding ship on radar? Summer vacation brings the dummies.
Kirsch: Oh my god what if MC and the guys are on that boat? Kidding.
Pubraseer: Heh, it could happen.
Kirsch: Pffft, no way.

Speeding ship
MC: OH MY GOOOOD
Sadayoshi: MC, don't let go!
Zaniah: Nooo, someone stop this crazy thing!
Ship's gone pretty far from Este Bolta now.
Yuhang: What kind of dumb broad whips an engin--WHOA
Isaribi: W-wait, someone's inside! Maybe they can help, whoever it is! GUYS, Y'ALL GET--
Isaribi rolls into the ship! There's two total strangers inside knocked out!
Isaribi: Whomst???
Yuhang: Isaribi, we're on a crash course to an islaaaand!
Isaribi: OH NO
Yuhang: Are we gonna get sashimi'd!?
Isaribi: Like hell I am!
Sadayoshi: By the way who are those people?
Isaribi: Dunno!

Island incoming!
MC: goodbye cruel world / we gotta jump!
---
(A) Sadayoshi: MC, get a grip! Hold onto me!
(B) Sadayoshi: Right! But there's only ocean around us, so hold onto me!
---
Sadayoshi hugs MC with both arms!
Isaribi: I'll grab the two whos!
Yuhang: Zaniah or whatever? You gotta jump too!
Zaniah: Nooo, my ship! My MONEEEEY!
Yuhang drags Zaniah away from the system panel or whatever!
Isaribi: NOW!
The party jumps off the ship! And then the ship manages to crash into the only building on the island.

Title Card: I'm Not Saying Goodbye

Isaribi: Everybody okay!?
Isaribi manages to swim to shore carrying those two whoevers! Yuhang comes next and lets go of Zaniah's neck. Then finally Sadayoshi carrying MC.
MC: oof I thought I was gonna die / oh god land ho / We're okay!
Sadayoshi: MC are you okay? I could have given you my floatie ring if the cruiser speeding off didn't make me lose it.
Isaribi: Welp. Yuhang, you good?
Yuhang: Yeah. Girl's out cold tho... she swallowed water when we jumped, so we might need to thump it out.
Sadayoshi: Hmm... she still seems to be breathing, so she should wake in time.
Isaribi: Oh, so we all good. Where are we though? (looks around)
???: (wakes up) AH! Uh, where are... Lady--
???: Z-Zanini... ah!?
Surprised party!
MC: whomst. W-wait!

Strangers A and B run up to Zaniah, looking horrified!
Isaribi: Girl's fine and should wake up soon. Who you guys?
???: Y-you guys fought Zanini but then saved her?
Fan 1: Uhh, we're Zaniah's Fans 1 and 2. Please don't mistreat her.
Fan 2: Fans? Well...I guess we're like family. I'll kick your asses if you try to rough up Milady!
Fan 1: If Zanini's waking up soon, we should bail before she sees us here...please don't tell her we're here.
Fan 2: Kind of annoying to ask favors of the people who fought her but...yeah, I'm asking too please.
Isaribi: W-wait we don't even know where--
Fans 1 and 2: KTHANKSBYE (run off)
MC: What. They don't seem dangerous, but still. Hmm...

Sadayoshi: Hmm...they're suspicious too if they're a villain's family, but I'm not sure it's fine to leave them unsupervised on unknown territory.
Yuhang: Eh, they don't seem to be villains either if they didn't attack. And they're bold enough to follow a villain they were worried about.
Yuhang points at Zaniah. Zaniah starts twitching.
Zaniah: O-oof, I'm alive!
Isaribi: Oh you're up. Ya swallowed some water so--wait, hold up!
Zaniah: Shut up! MY SHIP!
Zaniah looks at where the ship crashed. It blows up and tosses a screw over to where she is! Whomp whomp.
Zaniah: M-my ship... (Zaniah.exe has crashed)
Sadayoshi: Well then.
Isaribi: Umm...y-you good, girl? There weren't any tour people on, so I guess it really was yours?
No response.

Yuhang: (...this is all our fault, huh?)
Sadayoshi: (W-well...she's not faultless either but...)
MC: (...it sorta is our fault to start with, I guess?)
Sadayoshi: ...hm. Please be careful MC. I sense someone else in the bushes.
Giansar shows up!
Giansar: Goddammit what the hell just happened!? ...no one's come yet, so I better bail to another planet soo--
MC: Wait what, Giansar!? Why!? / Yoooo, how's it been?
(AB) Giansar: What!? MC!?
(C) Giansar: Sup...is that what you expected me to say!? Dammit, it's you MC!?

Giansar: Are those heroes with you? Dammit, did you somehow manage to figure out my location!?
MC: Um / Surprise! / Giansar, where are we?
(AC) Sadayoshi: MC, do you know him? He doesn't seem to like you.
Isaribi: Damn, you THAT famous?
MC: Uh, he's a villain I fought once.
Surprised party!
(B) Isaribi: w-wait, what
MC: I've been looking for your villainous ass, Giansar!
Giansar: >:C
Isaribi: Oh my god? We just randomly crashed here and you're already planning an arrest??? Awesome!
Giansar: !?
Giansar: Oh, a bluff.
Yuhang: ...Isaribi I think you just snitched.
Isaribi: W-what, I wasn't supposed to say that!?

Giansar: Goddammit...
Giansar looks so done with this.
MC: Are you still up to villainy even after your big perfect plan blew up?
Flashback!
Giansar: ...I still hate heroes, including you guys, but I had a little fun here. See you guys probably never.
Present
MC: And here we are again!
Giansar: little bITCH
Isaribi: Holy crap, MC stop taunting the villain!
Giansar: Ugh forget how you guys got here, I gotta go!
Giansar tries to leave.
Sadayoshi: ...so you're a villain MC had to cross blades with? Then there is only one thing to do! (charges Giansar)
Yuhang: Dang, and he's still unarmed.
Giansar: WHAT
Sadayoshi: Surrender!
Giansar: oh fml
Giansar taps his phone and transforms!

Isaribi: W-what!? It's 3v1 here!
Yuhang: Wait, I'm in? Well okay then.
Giansar: (...so that girl back there isn't with them?)
Giansar: Whatever, you attacked first!
Giansar jumps back, Parallel Weapon in hand!
Sadayoshi: Stand down and you won't be hurt. Though I doubt you'll comply.
Sadayoshi clicks on his phone, and MC's phone starts ringing! Transformation request incoming!
MC: Let's question him! / I'll be gentle when I tie you up!
Party's transformed!
MC: ...okay, stream's on! We can go!
Giansar: (They got connected!? ...wait, even if they could, they can't reach the outside to do anything besides stream. I can still shut them up!)

Everyone's squaring up when Zaniah comes over!
Zaniah: How dare...how DARE! MY SHIP!
Isaribi: N-now hold up! Okay we were wrong for getting on, but dammit, it's your fault the ship's blown up!
Zaniah: Dammit, I know! But I still can't just back down here! Transform me!
Zaniah suits up!
Yuhang: ...shouldn't you pick your fights better?
Giansar: Huh. Well whatever, I'mma leave now--
Sadayoshi: Are you prepared to face your crimes? Very well.
Giansar: uggggh
MC: Uhh...t-time to fight! Get ready guys!
Yuhang: Mkay, we're all in the same crashed ship and everything.
Zaniah: HOW DARE
BATTLE START (more happens after)

Zaniah: Nooo...
Giansar: Goddammit why me too...
The rest of the party wipes off their sweat.
Yuhang: Dang you two are strong.
Sadayoshi: We had an easier time winning since they kept getting in each other's ways.
Isaribi: Welp! Sorry we can't leave y'all unsupervised!
Isaribi and Sadayoshi pin Giansar and Zaniah down, then MC closes the party's transformations.
Yuhang: Oof, I wanna get back to that island tour we were gonna go on...
Sadayoshi: I understand but we have no ship to take us back.
Isaribi: Yeah, and where even are we? I ain't never seen this place before.
MC: Really? Giansar, where are we?

Giansar: ...wait, you dicks really came here blind? Why ARE you guys on this deserted island on the ass end of nowhere?
MC: w-wait what
Zaniah: Because these four barged onto MY SHIP! Don't think I'm ever forgetting your names!
Sadayoshi: O-okay, but you attacked first.
Isaribi: Y-yeah our bad for getting on the wrong ship. We were gonna go on a boat tour.
Sadayoshi: And somehow we got on a villain's ship instead...
Yuhang: Then Zaniah pulls up crying and screaming and ends up whipping the engine on. Girl those speeds are illegal!
Zaniah: It's your fault my ship blew up!
MC: So then the ship just drove off, crashed into the building on this island, and now here we are.

Giansar: (closes eyes and inhales)
Giansar: Welp. Worst case scenario.
Zaniah: Hey! It's the worst case scenario for ME! I'm just some passing phantom thief!
Isaribi: w-what
Giansar: Hey, I'm a victim too. I was just chilling in my safehouse. (looks at burning wreckage)
Isaribi: O-okay so maybe you were...
Giansar: Forget that, you guys owe me a settlement for property destruction.
Zaniah: Oh, and the money for my ship getting totaled!
Giansar: What, does heroism allow vandalism these days or something?
Zaniah: HMMM, not very heroic!
Giansar: And now you wanna ask favors? Hellll to the no.
Zaniah: I know right? We're victims!
Giansar and Zaniah: Now let us go!
Surprised party!
MC: W-whoa...wow they actually get along...

Isaribi: O-okay fine, you guys are victims here!
Sadayoshi: I don't think we necessarily need to care since they're villains...
Yuhang: But we still need to listen to them since we don't know where we are.
Sadayoshi: But...
Isaribi: Well what if we make it conditional? They agree not to attack or run off, and we can untie them. Then we can get to talking.
Giansar: Then you also have to promise not to arrest me until after we get out.
Yuhang: I guess that's fine. We're on a deserted island, so there shouldn't be any danger.
Isaribi: And they aren't in the middle of doin' crimes, so we can just call the police on them later I guess.
Sadayoshi: ...well if you two are going that far, I suppose...
Sadayoshi reluctantly takes off the bindings and puts them inside his phone.

Zaniah: GOD finally! This wouldn't be the end of it normally!
Giansar: ...ugh. Well anyways to recap, this island is deserted which is why I made a safehouse here to begin with. Comm lines should be up, but those are my private network that only streams to underground peeps. I got jamming up to stop connections besides streaming.
MC: Oh no that's right! Streaming's the only thing that works!?
MC fiddles with their phone, but it keeps saying "out of service area."
Yuhang: Huh, mine's not working either.
Sadayoshi: What? Turn off the jamming now then.
Giansar: I can't, you guys blew up my base.
Sadayoshi glares, then looks at the smoking wreckage.
Giansar: We can't get close like that, and I can't go fixing it. Either it all crashes, or we wait until the backup power dies. If MC can use VP, then the comm locks must've bugged out...ugh fine, I'll let you into the lines for now.
Zaniah: Wait, I can't connect to Anonymous then!? Then how...
Giansar: You must've jumped my comm lines like MC did somehow. Ugh.
Isaribi: S-so, that means we can stream but can't call for help?
Giansar: ...no one watching does that, so we can't expect them to help.
Sadayoshi: And we have no ship now...
MC: So we'd have to swim...? Wait, Isaribi!

Isaribi: W-wait. I could swim off the ship to here, but the currents around this island are too fast. (sighs and looks off to sea)
Isaribi: MAYBE under ideal circumstances, but not even I can carry y'all alone. We don't even know where and how far it is to the closest landfall.
Giansar: The currents are huge, so most ships don't come near here. Which was why I put a base here.
Isaribi: ...wait, is this the Dead Area? Fishermen don't go near there.
Giansar: Yeah. Also, even if a ship came by, there's jamming to stop sonar pings from finding this place.
Sadayoshi: So you ARE hiding something!
Giansar: Never mind that now! We are goddamn SHIPWRECKED!
Shocked party!
MC: Oh no!

Zaniah: That can't be! I just came here to look for treasu--
Isaribi: what
Zaniah: NOTHING! Anyways, waiting for help isn't an option then.
Yuhang: Yeah. I guess I can go looking for food here though.
Giansar: Do you not get how serious this is...?
Sadayoshi: Hmm, so we need to find some way to escape...
Everyone thinks about the situation. Giansar fiddles with his phone and sighs.
Giansar: (Okay it SUCKS MC and the others are here, but they don't seem to know about my work. I can't get away if their side's help comes, so I'd have to bail first, especially while I can still move...)
Giansar: UGH I gotta stop thinking about that! Whatever, I gotta get off this island.
MC: So Giansar, can we come too?
Giansar: ...why?
MC: Um, I heard you earlier.
Flashback!
Giansar: Goddammit what the hell just happened!? ...no one's come yet, so I better bail to another planet soo--

Present
Sadayoshi: Wait...doesn't that mean--
MC: You have a ship out of here, right? You had to have one to get here before. Come on, we're all friends stuck in the same boat~
Giansar looks Very Displeased. He pulls out a weapon for a bit and considers using it before putting it away, concerned it'll get taken.
Giansar: UGGGGH this is coercion! ...fine...I'm outnumbered anyway.
MC: (Not the plan, but poker face!) / (Oh he said yes!)
Zaniah: Wait, you have a ship? So we AREN'T stranded. Ugh, all that stress for nothing.
Giansar: I never said you could come.
Zaniah: Oh come on, we're both on the wrong side of a beatdown and got tied up!
Giansar: Is that really how you ask anyone for a favor?
Zaniah: Oh fiiine. I mean, please let me board.
Yuhang: Huh. So we're partying together 'til we get out?
Sadayoshi: It's more monitoring of them so they don't escape.
Giansar: Whatever, just until we get off this damn rock. Shut up and follow me, ugggh.
Isaribi: Man you sure bitch a lot. Oh well, thanks for lettin' us onboard!
MC: Emergency times, cease fire until we get back.
Giansar leads the party off. Sadayoshi brings up the rear.
Sadayoshi: ...I can't believe we have to work with a villain. (kicks sand)

Later
The party follows Giansar to some inlet.
Giansar: It's in there. (nods towards inlet)
Zaniah: Huh. Nice hiding spot.
Giansar: Well yeah, it's for emergencies.
MC: Oh, so this is the sort of place you hide things in.
Giansar: Heh, it's not like I pull the same thing all the time, so showing this one isn't a huge deal.
Sadayoshi: How dare!
Yuhang: ...aiyah? Hey guys?
Giansar: Shove your hero act up your ass and sit there if you don't wanna come. See if I care how long it takes to get help.
Yuhang: Guys?
Sadayoshi: What!? I was extending some grace because you said you wouldn't cause any more harm, but I have no reason to go easy on you.
Yuhang: Guuuys!
Sadayoshi and Giansar: WHAT?

Yuhang: I think there's a Monster eating the ship.
Yuhang points at a Shark Monster chewing on the engine portion of Giansar's ship!
Isaribi: what
Zaniah: w-wha
Sadaysohi and Giansar: WHAT
MC: Oh no!
Sadayoshi: MC, transform us so we can eliminate it!
Giansar: Okay it's a goddamn emergency! MC, transform me!
Zaniah: Alright, bring it freak!
MC: Wait hold up the contracts are coming in all at once!
MC is trying to process everything... The party transforms...
Isaribi: Okay, I got this fish freak captain!
The Shark Monster pulled out Giansar's ship engine!
Giansar: W-wait!
The Shark Monster runs away and turns invisible!
Giansar: GET BACK HERE GODDAMMIT
End of Episode

Fabulous Summer Host Episode 2 Part 2 (Abridged)

Oscar: You ever see those guys who play whatever role and always end up being themselves? Barong's one of them. You can ask him to be anything and he'll put his all on stage. So what his customers want is him himself! Do you think you can live without ever hiding anything? Not me! Don't try too hard, but I won't stop you from tipping god if you want to.
Narration Zone
Barong: I'm dancing again, putting my whole self up there. The blood rush makes me feel alive as I feel every little sensation of the show. And then I start trancing out as I feel myself blur with everyone and everything. Apparently most people never felt that, so I want them too! It's that one moment when I feel like I'm a customer's God.

Present
The Summer Host bar is doing well so far. Team Y'golonac was winning at first, but now...
Bael: Barong stole the lead singlehandedly.
Y'golonac: Why'd he gotta be on HIS team?
Y'golonac looks at Barong. Barong is entertaining people.
Barong: Hey how about I take your tip from your mouth?
Guy A: YES DADDY
No touching, but customers still get the fantasy of having Barong to themselves.
Barong: Uh-uh, no looking away now. 'til next time!
Barong winks and leaves Guy A to collapse while going to his next table!
Guy B: Me next! I've been your fan since your hotel manager days!
Barong: Aww thanks! (keeps dancing)
Y'golonac: how in hell has he not stopped dancing for a whole hour now?
MC: He seems to be having fun / Wow he really likes dancing / can I be one of his customers?
(C) Y'golonac: No baby. You want dancin', you got me in jazzercise at home.
Y'golonac jiggles in place. He jiggles everywhere.

Shino: He can't keep that up forever.
Y'golonac: Nah, boy actually might. Like what if he just fall over like it naptime for tired baby?
Perun: Hmm... what if we got him into our team?
Bael: That may not be necessary. Look, his teammates are worried about him too.
Tetsugyuu: Dude, Barong, maybe you should stop? What if you feel it tomorrow?
Barong: Who cares about tomorrow? Gotta make the customers excited! Dance with me?
Tetsugyuu: Um... you think I'll help the team better if I learn to dance?
Barong: Sure! You too, Sarutahiko!
Sarutahiko: Nah, bro.
Barong: Come onnn, you never know!
Bael: ...my super elite brain can't tell when he'll stop.
Perun: New plan, we conquer and steal his Performance skills for ourselves.
Y'golonac: NOOOO
Perun: In the war of survival, take your enemies' strengths for yourself!
MC: Evil! / We gotta do better / Maybe I should practice with him

A mob walks up to Barong.
Governor A: Um, thank you for earlier Barong.
Barong: Oh hey you again! Couldn't forget me?
Governor A: No. Wait, yes? Um, could you go on break and go on a date with me outside? (holds hand out)
Y'golonac: Damn, look at that bad boy gettin' all brave and askin' Barong for an off hours date. It's against the rules, so do it and go look bad!
Barong: Sorry, don't think I'm going on break today.
Governor A: You're going to keep dancing all day!?
Barong: Maybe? Maybe it'll hurt later, but I don't wanna stop the rhythm and the beat.
Governor A: Is it about money? I have money!
Barong: Nah, I dance because it's the only way I know how to be myself.
The mob seems genuinely upset. Even Barong notices.
MC: Damn / So pro / omg he actually said no!?
Y'golonac: Boo!
Bael: Stop thinking about that and start thinking about how to win!
Mobs: Y'golonac, when you coming back?
Y'golonac: Oh, right! I'mma come right now babies!
Everyone goes back to their tables. Barong keeps dancing.

Later
Barong: Okay Tsukuyomi I'm starting to feel it, can I take a break?
Tsukuyomi: Sure, you've been overdoing it.
Barong: Thanks, tell my kitties I'll be back soon!
MC: I guess he really is tired... does he seem off somehow?
Tsukuyomi: ...hey MC, how about we go on break together? We've been at it all day.
Beach
Barong's getting a lot of attention.
Barong: La la la~
He's still dancing.
MC: (clap) You sure are having fun. / Aren't you on break?
(AB) Barong: Whoa, MC? You could've told me if you wanted to go on break together.
(C) Barong: Ha, dancing doesn't tire me. Dancing is life!

Barong: Hey, let's dance MC! I'll lead!
MC: wait what / just a bit then / okay!
Barong takes MC's hand and starts humming, then takes MC into a ball dance.
MC: hey this is pretty nice!
Barong: Haha, you can keep going huh? How about we step it up?
Barong starts a faster tempo song but easily leads MC through the faster steps.
Barong: Whoo, hang on tight MC!
Barong holds onto MC and spins!
MC: OH MY GOD / (throw your arms and legs out and pose) / Yeaaah!
More people start watching, so Barong shows off more.

Later
Barong: Finale time! Don't worry, I'll catch you.
Barong throws MC up and the two pose to roaring applause!
MC: Thanks people! / whoo, sweaty! / tireeed
Barong: That was awesome! We were vibing that second half. We better stop though before we go back tired.
People want to give money, but Barong politely declines. Barong then sits down and gestures MC to sit next to him.
Barong: That was fun! I wonder if it's okay to have every day be that fun.
MC: If you had fun, it's good / Let's dance again sometime / I'm so dead tomorrow
Barong: I would've danced forever if that was gonna be the best dance ever. It was good for a stage, but for an opera it--
MC: ...Barong?

Barong: ...oh, no. Just thinking I didn't sound like myself. But what does that even mean?
Barong goes all out on every show because there's on guarantee of a next one. It's not like he'll live forever. Barong looks at MC.
Barong: Can I ask you something? When you see me dancing...what do you feel?
MC: It's awesome / like 'omg?' / (404 vocabulary not found)
---
(AB) Barong: Haha, as long as you enjoy it.
(C) Barong: Ha, nice. But I can do better.
---
Barong: I dance to make people happy, so if they get happy it's all good. But then sometimes people look at me all sad. But why though? Oscar said don't mind, but...
Hmm, break's been on for a while.
Barong: ...MC, can you stick around longer to hear me out?

There are people who come to Barong's shows because they want to feel special, but the audience who talks to Barong always get this answer:
Barong: Sorry, I can't. But tonight's show was definitely just for you.
Barong (narrating): Everyone who wants to keep me for themselves fall apart, so Oscar said telling them that was for the best. He also said I'm only a fitting partner for God. But rather than smile like I want them to, those audience members frown. I just be myself, but people want someone more than I am. Or themselves. One of the two.
Present
Barong: That happened today too. People came to talk to me, but looked sad when they left.
Barong lies down on the sand, wondering if his team is mad at him.
Barong: This is the only way I know how to light up my life. But people say it's sad how cheaply I dance. I think it's fun and awesome though. What do you think, MC? Am I realistic?
MC: No, but it's nice you've got conviction / Yes, but let people dream / No, but I get how your customers feel
(C) Barong: Huh. What's that mean?

Barong seems to feel better at MC's response. Sarutahiko barges into the conversation!
Sarutahiko: Eh, I think you don't need to worry about it.
Barong: Wait, you're on break now too!? There'd only be two of us left then!
Sarutahiko: Nah, I was sent to make sure you didn't fall into a plot hole. Damn you sandy. How about I fix you up?
Sarutahiko sits down to clean Barong.
Sarutahiko: So like, I know this one dancer girl WHO TOTALLY AIN'T MY WIFE who's good at lying to herself. Customers go away not totally happy all the time. Making people have fun ain't everything in life.
Barong: !?
Sarutahiko: I mean, we all have things we don't understand in other people, especially if we believe in different things. So not everyone can understand when you want to live life on your own terms.
Barong seems unhappy.

Sarutahiko: Heh, you don't believe me because we believe in different things. In that case, you gotta get a little closer.
Barong: But I go all out in dancing!
Sarutahiko: Not like that, geez. I'm saying the guys who talk to you get you on some level, some of which knew you'd turn them down. But they just wanted to say you were cool, not ask you to change. Like, maybe that's good enough. If they say they don't get you at all, then just talk it out.
Barong doesn't seem to get it.
Barong: what
Sarutahiko: Dammit I have to spell it out!? You may like whoring yourself up to bits, but some people may just like wanting to do something for you!
MC: You didn't get that!? / are you really getting anything? / what
Sarutahiko: I'm saying you can answer folks after you figure out how they feel. If you don't want them to be sad, try getting closer?
Barong: But I'll stay the same as I am...
Sarutahiko: Figures...
MC: Maybe tell them what makes you happy, Barong?
Sarutahiko: Maybe? Not that that'll be easy...
Barong: MC, wait that's it!

Later
MC, Barong, and Sarutahiko get back to the beach bar.
Tetsugyuu: Finally! What happened to you two?
Barong: Oops! MC and I were dancing on the beach.
Tetsugyuu: Why bother going outside if you were gonna do that!?
Y'golonac: Hey thanks MC! We started catchin' up with you keepin' Barong busy out there!
MC: That wasn't my plan... / what have you been doing / (evil thumbs up)
Tsukuyomi: Now now, the day isn't over yet. Barong, you good to go?
Barong: Yep!

Night
Everyone gets together around the stage. Who made number one today?
Ophion: Good work everyone, thank you for proving me right. And now for the big announcement!
Everyone present gets excited!
Ophion: Today's number one host is...Barong!
Lots of confetti and cheering as Barong goes up!
Barong: Thanks you guys!
More cheering! Barong waves!
Ophion: Okay now, I hear the number one of the day gets to pick the song we end the day with apparently.
Barong: Oh, right, that. I was thinking I'd dance instead of sing. I know it's a break from tradition, but I hope you guys join me! Get the music started! Anyone who wants in, get up here!
MC: Me! / Congrats! / (look for someone to dance with)

Bael: Dancing? I'll show you how a high society member dances!
Tetsugyuu: Are you talkin' about Boss!? Me first!
Shino: Want! ...no wait, do not want! Actually, yes! No, wait...
Tsukuyomi: You guys we are still on the clock here.
Customers are whispering loudly.
Livestreamer A: OMG Shino's going for it! He's really going for it, Shino and his tragic Beauty and the Beast OTP 5ever!
Guy B: Naw, it's Tetsugyuu ftw! The Boss/Minion ship that goes down together in that super messed up way!
Girl C: Nah, it's the "I can fix him" ship with Bael!
Tsukuyomi: ...well okay then! That happens too. In which case, you have to pick Big Brother, MC.
Tsukuyomi grabs MC's hand and winks at the nearby mobs.
Mobs: OMG WE STAN

Perun looks mad and chugs a drink.
Sarutahiko: Aren't you gonna dance, Perun? I figured you were gonna charge MC straight away.
Perun: Pah! Me? The emperor? Dance?
Sarutahiko: I mean if that's what you really want, but I think you actually want in.
Perun: Out of my sight before they start dancing, washboy!
Sarutahiko: (holds out hand) Heh, fine I'll drag you over. I know how to guide hardheads like you, but not as well as Uzume can.
Perun: F-fine, I shall graciously allow this!
Sarutahiko: Yeah sure whatever. Hey you guys!
Bael: How dare they get in the way!

It's time for the MC Bowl again!
Y'golonac: Back off Tsukuyomi, you ain't even on this team! Come on y'all, gotta cheer for Barong! (hands out confetti and drink guns) It SUCKS he won number one today, but we gotta congratulate him as parta the game!
MC: Wow, you DO have a good side Y'golonac! We got this!
Y'golonac: Count o' three y'all! Aim real good!
MC: wait what
Y'golonac: Gwehehe, I supermodded them drink and confetti guns in case this happened.
Bael: I like how you think. Knock the number one off his perch and take his spot for ourselves!
Y'golonac: You know it! Get 'im boys!
MC: NO WAIT STOP / YEAAAHHHH
BATTLE START (more happens after)

Y'golonac: Wait why didn't Barong react!?
Perun: Impressive!
Barong: Thanks everybody!
Barong shrugged off everything and goes to dance with people! Everyone he dances with looks happy!
Barong: Next! Oh, you.
It's one of Barong's regular customers.
Barong: I'm glad you came, 'cause there's something I want to let you know! Look, everyone is watching us. Not bad huh? The lights, the cheers, the attention, I love it so much I've never thought of leaving the stage. I'm happy you like me, but that's why I turned you down. But I got one little thing I wanna ask. Come see me again where I'm happy on stage!

Fabulous Summer Host Episode 3 Part 3 (Abridged)

Once upon a time when Bael had fallen to the level of a demon, he was made #1 on the hierarchy of the All-Knowing King. Bael is proud of what he remembers of this. At the time it was the most competitive, revolutionary, whatever Karen's evolutionary thesis System around. It could get you somewhere further than Eden and Gehenna could if you were picked as the top! And that's probably why Bael started caring about the position of number one so much.
When Bael came to Tokyo, the king never showed up while the demons were put into a new, incomplete System. 24 worlds, 3 factions. Hmm, sounds like something the king would do. While the 23 Reps fought for the trophy, Bael went in for something else. He wanted to be the top of the next System to show his respect for the king. Nobody else mattered, he just wanted to be the king's number one.

Present
Astaroth: Good thing the golems weren't made to be that strong!
Bathym: Yeah it's nice kicking number one's ass like this.
Amduscias: Bathym, don't break them!
Amduscias punches out golems! The Ars Goetia demons smile and pretend like nothing is wrong!
Bathym: Dusy, do you see yourself here?
Sitri: Oh my god, Amduscias and Astaroth? So strong? I want that...
Ose: Grass greener and stuff. Like how they wish they were as cute as us.
Sitri: I'm not cute! You've got at will Transformation!

Bael G1: Wow Sitri, you've got time to talk in front of me in a fight?
Sitri: S-shut up, I'm working out still!
Ose: There's more ways of fighting than just brute force, you know.
Ose dodges the golems and taps them in the core!
Sitri: Oh my god teach me your ways!
Ose: Sure.
Bael G1: Why are you getting in our way!?
Astaroth: We're fighting for our lives!
Bael G1: MC, do you hate our service too!?
MC: Love it! / I'll get the real Bael to do that / Sorry...
---
(AB) The Bael golems seem to feel better about that.
---
The golems power down and things end without issue.

Later
Vapula: Thanks guys! Revaprogramming time!
One of the golems start talking.
Bael Golem: MC, I just wanted you to accept me...
He seems to be remorseful.
Later
Guy A: Oh wow, you're back?
Bael Golem: Yes, I was called away for...stuff. I'm back now, sorry about that.
Guy A: Oh okay. So are you the real Bael?
Bael Golem: You got me!
The Bael golems leave MC as directed and go back to serving other customers.
Astaroth: Okay whew, it worked out. Sorry you got mixed up in all that, MC.
MC: Was Bael always like that? / Yesss, doting Bael! / Thanks for helping.

Astaroth: Were you surprised by how Bael was?
Bathym: He hides it, but he's a big a stan as Lucifuge is. We all used to be a group where we were top class in our fields. Being proud of our spot was also being proud of our grouping. Too over your head? Well being in the second gen business model means we got our opinions on it.
Astaroth: MC, I know you're busy but...can you go look for the real Bael? He'd be happy if you found him.
MC: I doubt he'll show it / Okay, hint please! / Won't he get pissy?
(A) Astaroth: Heh, I guess. He can be surprisingly easy to read at times though.
(B) Astaroth: I think you already know. Somewhere quiet and away from here.
(C) Astaroth: He'll just pretend to be, promise.

Astaroth: You mean a lot to Bael. He admired who you used to be, and... (looks into the distance) Did you know Bael wants to be number one but never seems happy even when we agree to it? Kind of sad to admit, but I think the one he actually wants to accept that is you.
MC: All part of being a tsundere I guess. He's probably happy inside. / I don't think that's ME me.
---
(AB) Astaroth: Heh, you think? I hope so.
(C) Astaroth: Right, he might not be seeing the actual you just yet. But...
---
Astaroth: He's looking at your future and marketing an undefined possible self. I shouldn't say anything more though, you should ask him. Oh, one more thing. I don't think he's noticed himself, but his ears and tails twitch a little when you call him. Maybe try that.
MC: Okay / fiiine I guess / Ooh

Later
After the golem mess was dealt with, Bael went off to sit on the beach.
Bael: (on the phone) Yes, I haven't found anything so far. I'll call if I do...am I enjoying being a host and forgetting the job? Rude! This wasn't my idea!
Bael gets off the phone and starts staring at the wall in the distance.
Bael: ...good, nobody's come over to ask me to grant their wish.
MC: oh my god you're actually here? / Found you! / (play Guess Who?)
---
(AB) Bael: MC, why are you here!?
(C) Bael: ...MC, you're the only one who does anything this stupid.
---
Bael: Why did you come here when you could've won just by staying in the bar today?
MC: Pffft, you wanted me to come / Said the slacker / Coming over meant more
(AB) Bael: Hmph. Well now you fell into my trap. I never said I'd grant wishes for free. Sucks for you, giving up your chance at being number one today.
(C) Bael: Heh, did me granting a wish sound that good to you? I never said it'd be free.

Bael: Haha, you'd best not take a devil at face value...but I GUESS I could write up a contract for you.
Bael pushes up his glasses and looks away.
Bael: Astaroth put you up to this, didn't they?
MC: I have to thank them later / Pffft, softie / They're a good friend, don't forget that.
Bael: Today was their fault! I can't go saying I'm number one if I accepted help...
MC: Then why'd you go along with it? / Yeah you didn't seem to like the plan / Do you hate losing out on number one?
Bael: I just hated how that angel put you up on a pedestal when you should get there yourself. Heh, if you want to be number one, I can make that happen. I have some noblesse oblige to uphold if you have that much hope in me. It's actually kind of nice to be helped by the plebs.
Bael stands up and pats himself down.

Bael: Alright, I'll walk you back to the bar. It's about time I flexed what being number one meant to everyone. You'd best be careful of me stealing your heart.
MC: ...Bael.
Bael: (ears and tail twitches slightly) ...what?
MC: Congrats on being number one / Nothing / Wow your ears and tail DO twitch
(A) Bael: T-that's not for sure yet! You take the spot, or else! ...b-but if I do win, then thank you.
(B) Bael: WHAT? You can't just call my name so casually or...o-or else I'll get carried away, so please stop.
(C) Bael: ...I should punish you for your bluntness. You ought to keep quiet of these things.
And then Astaroth screams some time later when Bael gets back to the bar.

Later
Y'golonac: Good work, y'all! Because damn that really happened. Anyhoo, time for today's number one to come on up! (winks at Bael)
Astaroth: He's calling for you, Bael.
The other Ars Goetia demons clap. Everyone's seen Bael's management abilities today, just like how he handled being number one of 72 once.
Bael: I know. But before that...thank you.
Gasping demons! Then smirking demons.
Bathym: Tomorrow's forecast: flying pigs!
Sitri: Hey, you can thank me by tutoring me then.
Amduscias: Ooh, I'm gonna try my best too!
Vapula: You'll let the vaprogramming thing go then, right?
Bael: SHUT UP...but Astaroth, I guess your meddling does help sometimes.
Astaroth: ...heh, you're welcome!
Bael smiles at the demons for once instead of frowning!

Y'golonac: Damn, you actually have friends? Was that body double thing theirs?
Bael: Well of course a high class person like me has high class friends. Excuse me for taking number one before you.
Y'golonac: Ooh spicy baby. Well it's your spotlight so congrats man. Must be nice to have friends to show off too. I gotta do better too...
Bael notices Y'golonac looking at MC and Tsukuyomi. Then he looks at the Ars Goetians.
Bael: ...I was highly considering ditching you partway, but thank you for bringing me.
Y'golonac: Oh my god did being numbah one change you?
Bael: Maybe just for today.
Bael takes the mic on goes on stage.
Bael: Say my name, cheries!
Mobs and Ars Goetians: Bael!
Bael: Yes, thank you all! In honor of that, I'll pick a love song to sing tonight...
Bael prepares to sing, and everyone gives their full attention.
Later on, when the day is done, Bael walks alone on the beach. There's a message alert on his phone, and Bael responds by text.
Bael: No evidence discovered. Little risk of being discovered.
Bael stares at his text for a bit, then hits send.
End of Episode

Fabulous Summer Host Episode 3 Part 2 (Abridged)

Bael: ...your seat. This is the Bael Special☆Demon's Love.
Astaroth is pleased. Bael is very displeased.
Astaroth: Oh cheer up, Bael! How about a toast of this...Bael Special whatsit?
Bael: Don't repeat it! ugggggh this is why I never said anything to you, "Master" Astaroth.
Astaroth ordered the bar's most expensive bottle.
Astaroth: Sorry I came without telling you, but you'd never have said a word if I didn't, would you?
Bael: No. How'd you even know I was here?
Astaroth: You underestimate things a lot. I know how to do research too, you know. So when does the customer service part start?
Astaroth holds up a glass. Bael gives up and plays along.

Bael: Ahem. Thank you for choosing me, cherie. Careful, this devil's after your heart.
Astaroth: Wow! You could be number one anywhere.
Bael: Happy now? Please leave yesterday.
Astaroth: Hey, don't ruin the mood so quick!
Bael: ...why are you even here?
Astaroth: Not to tease if that's what you're worried about. I We came to cheer you on.
More of the Ars Goetia demons show up!
Sitri: I got peer pressured into coming...
Bathym: Hey BaeBae, pour one out for me! Sorry if I steal all your customers!
Vapula: It's vaparticularly busy here I see. And the interior setup is--oh wait never mind.
Amduscias: I'm here again!
Bael: but why tho, I don't even want to be number one host. Door's that way, thank you.
The demons are confused.

Astaroth: Bael do you have sunstroke?
Bael: What, you think I want to be number one in EVERYTHING?
The demons are vibing.
Bael: When I say I want to be number one, I want to be number one in absolute power! Not some trifling bar host! And you think I would stoop to calling you all for help?
Bathym: Aww...oh well, wanna check the place out, Sitri?
Vapula: Aww, but I vaprepared so hard for this!
Astaroth: Bael, wait please!
Oh look who else is here.
Michael: I heard Big Brother is here! I'm going to help him better than anyone else pretending to be his family!

Later
Amaterasu, Michael, and Fuxi are sitting together.
MC: hELP??? / What would you like to drink?
Amaterasu, Michael, and Fuxi: One of your best bottles.
Cat: Right away!
Lots of cheering! Except for the Cold War going on at the table.
Amaterasu, Michael, and Fuxi: ...sibling-in-law.
MC: Oh god couldn't you guys come on different days? / WELP / Thank you very much☆
Amaterasu, Michael, and Fuxi: >:C
Fuxi: SIIIISTER! Make it two bottles!
Micheal: BIG BROOOOTHER! Three bottles!
Amaterasu: F-four bottles then! Mommy Big Sis will help you!
MC: But the price tag?? / Nooo don't fight over me~ / Thanks, love ya☆
Amaterasu: Is this what you and Smoky God do for socializing? It's okay, I know my finances.
Fuxi: Hmm, he's been gone since the staff called him away. It's okay, I won't flout the rules.
Michael: You'll always be my number one!
Amaterasu and Fuxi: NO ME

Meanwhile
The Ars Goetia demons are watching MC and Michael.
Bael: Change of plans. Help me out as your boss!
Bathym: Uh okay but why the change of heart?
Bael: Isn't it obvious? We're putting that bratty little angel in his place! MC is OUR number one, not his and not anyone else's!
Amduscias: are you telling us to fight him or something
Bael: No, make ME today's number one host. We will beat MC and the World Reps!
Astaroth: Now that's the Bael I know!
Bael: Astaroth, battle plans!
The Ars Goetia demons smile at seeing Bael back to normal.
Sitri: So like, don't base your plans on my wing feathers, okay?
Astaroth: I know. We have our own way of doing things. Vapula?
Vapula: Got it! I'm so glad my vapreparations aren't going to waste!
And so the Ars Goetia demons leave the bar for a bit.

Later
Three more Baels!
Bael: EXCUSE ME? Are these your golems, Vapula!?
Astaroth: Correct! You like corrupting people one on one, but there's still only one of you, right? So what if there was more of you? Look, we made them and they'll be just like you! Okay, serve me "Bael."
Bael Golem 1 starts acting like Bael.
Bael G1: Understood. I swear upon my soul to love you, cherie. Now kiss--
Vapula: NOOO why did he do that!?
Bael: ...and how was he like me? (pinches cheeks)
Astaroth: Ow! Please, what's wrong with a little originality?
Bael: So there's more than portrayal infringement to talk about! But seriously how'd you manage to make so many clones and clothes for them so fast?
Bael: (thinks) ...oh right. Amduscias was here yesterday.

The Bael golems blow off their suits down to swimsuits!
Bael: WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS!? ...okay fine, maybe it'll help me be number one today. But first, quality check!
Bael goes up to a golem.
Bael G1: You make me want to kill myself for yo--(punched)
Bael G2: I wuv you so mu--(punched)
Bael G3: STEP ON ME MA CHERI--(punched)
Vapula: Noooo, my babies! Baeby Daddy what are you doing!?
Bael: SHUT UP. Who even programed these things!?
Vapula, Astaroth, and Amduscias look away and whistle.

Vapula: Maybe I shouldn't have vaprogrammed them with doujin lines.
Amduscias: I thought fans like that these days...
Bael: ...okay fine, I'm not very host-like, whatever. Vapula, fix their damned programming. It can even just be how I normally am.
Bael quickly fixes up the golems.
Bathym: So what do we even do?
Vapula: Eh, just watch them after I vaput them under your commands.
Bael: ...wait there's only three of them, though.
Vapula: Oh right I forgot to mention! I made 48, so I'll vaput 12 of them to each person! The vaplan was originally 72, but resource issues.
Bael: Were you trying to go to war or something?
Astaroth: Well in your case, that wouldn't have to be entirely wrong.

Later
Cat: Your drink towers!
Champagne pyramids get put up!
MC: omg / For me? Ooh~ / Eeee ♡
Fuxi: So, how's your wallet doing?
The World Reps are playing poker. Or maybe it's just metaphorical.
Michael: Pfft, running out of steam already?
Amaterasu: MC, let's drink my order together.
The temp staff parts ways as Bael struts up!
Bael: Excuse me. I've come to declare war, MC!
MC: WHAT / but why tho / bold move
Michael: Bael? You think you can win?
Bael: Indeed. Behold!
Bael golems walk up and pose!
MC: WHAT / did you go off the deep end? / Gimme one!
(A) Bael: Surprised? Winning's not so crazy a dream now, eh?
(B) Bael: Please don't ask. I can be formidable if I flout the rules of war!
(C) Bael: ...no, get one yourself.

Bael: Do it!
...
Astaroth: Bael 1, pour me a drink. Bael 2, feed me fruit please.
Bael: HELP ME OR GO HOME!
Astaroth: Sorry, I didn't think this could happen again so I just started doing in without thinking... Oh, but everything should be going to plan.
Elsewhere
So many Bael golems!
Y'golonac: OH MY GOD Bael are you a ninja or sum shit!?
Perun: Interesting! Give me one to use!
Bael G1: Bold of you when I WE are going to be number one today.

Suddenly!
Bathym: Hey you guys, sudden special event now! Wondering who I am? Details!
Sitri: Kind of important detail, yeah. Not every day some rando starts yelling at you.
Bathym: ...oh fine, let's just say I'm a friend of the devil host.
Bael golems go "Not really!"
Bathym: Well he's my rival as the number one top familiar of this one lord, but I do sympathize with him in admiring the number one. So anyways, we're doing a "Guess the Real Bael" game! Get tipping, get your wishes granted!
The customers start getting hyped over getting wishes granted by a demon!
Amduscias: Wow. It's okay people, there's still a lot of the BEL48!
Barong: Whoa, you're here again Amduscias?
Amduscias: Senpai! Sorry, I'm here for Bael today...
Barong: It's cool!
Amduscias thinks about how he admires Barong and how Barong is never jealous or negative. Amduscias starts getting negative...
Amduscias: Come at us, bro!
Barong seems a little surprised but smiles. Customers are asking for Bael!

Bael Golem: Now now, no need to rush.
Michael: I see. You seem a little different.
Fuxi: Heh. Pull whatever trick you want, it won't work on us World Reps.
Amaterasu: A bigger champagne tower please!
Y'golonac: (walks over) Okay hol' up a sec. Y'all can pay, right?
Fuxi: Of course! I--oh.
Fuxi has no money left on him. Neither does Michael and Amaterasu.
Y'golonac: Y'all never checked the price list, huh? We ain't doin' tabs today so...
Y'golonac kicks out the World Reps!
Fuxi: How DARE you discount my Golden Rule! I can win all the money for my SIIIISTER!
Amaterasu: Bad luck for us, I suppose. I can't believe Smoky God has the advantage here!
Michael: Fine, I'll just come back another day!
MC: Welp / Nooo, my sales!

Bael Golem: Heh, I'm going to win today!
Ose: Don't expect Smoky God to save you today, I just sent him back. And now I'm here, fashionably late.
MC: Oh god you're all against me! / Yay, Ose!
---
(C) Ose: Hey, I wanted to see you too. I didn't think I'd be able to make it in time after stopping Smoky God.
---
Bael Golem: Well done, especially since normal methods shouldn't work on him.
Ose: Yeah, I tried. It didn't. But somehow talking did, and he gave me a message for MC. It says "I'll see you again at the Night Pool."
Bael Golem: I win! Now, why don't you pick me, MC? My real self will legit grant you your wishes. It's me, I'm the real self.
MC: YES PLEASE! / You look like him, but Bael isn't this open.
(A) Ose: Whoa you're easy. A real devil's gonna catch you one day.
Bael Golem: Shut up, Ose!
(BC) Bael Golem: Ha, you know me so well!

Ose: Bael, go talk to someone else. I'll take care of MC...I mean, you can be my host, right MC?
Bael Golem: No, MC's mine. (snaps fingers)
Bael Golems surround MC!
MC: Oh no! / Omg yes!
The Bael Golems put MC in a nice chair and get ready to serve!
Bael G1: Can you actually figure which one is real? I'm curious about that. Also I lied about being the real Bael.
Bael G2: No wait, I'm real.
Bael G3: I got you fruit, MC. Say ahh?
MC: Ahh / wait hold up what???
Ose: Wait, you guys were supposed to handle other customers so--
Bael suddenly attacks! Ose Matrix-dodges and frowns!
Ose: Bael what the hell man
Vapula: NOOOO Baels 5, 8, and 13, you're supposed to stay vaput!

Vapula gets bitchslapped by Bael Golems!
Vapula: OW
Ose: Vapula what the hell is happening?
Vapula: I-I dunno! I just vaprogrammed them like Bael told me to!
The customers think this is some show. For now.
Bael G1: I made you a drink, Master MC.
Bael G2: I'll rub your feet and hold them tight, okay?
Ose: Okay this is getting problematic. You DID program them right, yeah?
Vapula: Tee hee, I vaprogrammed Bael 21 to be a little yandere. So that's how that worked.
Ose: You're on your own when Bael starts kicking your ass.
Astaroth: Wait, maybe you do need a little roguishness to serve customers.
MC: what? / help??? / this is fine!
---
(C) Ose: Maybe we should leave MC alone if they're fine?
Astaroth: But that would ruin the plan!
---
Astaroth: So maybe making the Bael Golems more open backfired...
Vapula: Maybe the AI chip we got from Turing and vaput in is part of the cause?
Ose: So you tried taking the tsun out of tsundere? Huh.
Astaroth: We have to fix this!
Vapula: B-but how? Vaput the golems out of order?
Astaroth: We'll have to try reprogramming them again! Ose, get the others!
BATTLE START

Fabulous Summer Host Episode 3 Part 1 (Abridged)

Flashback!
Bael: What do you mean you want me to look for Y'golonac?
Horus: Yes. We have him on watch for having a strong Mental Corruption ability and we've heard you've been going in and out of Kabukicho a lot lately.
Bael: Hmm, makes sense. I enjoy having a World Representative asking me for help, but no. Why not just go yourself, see your Uncle? Just scream UNNNNCLE your way the way everyone else does in their own way towards MC.
Horus: How DARE
Otter: (Wow, spot on. But I can't say that out loud.)
Ah yes, how very demure, very mindful, very dignified.
Horus: Aren't YOU concerned about the dangerous thugs near Uncle!?
Bael: Nobody asked. Also MC's been picked up by Y'golonac this time? Apparently they're very close unlike--oops, slip of the tongue~!
Horus: LIES! Okay fine, we're going in for a house arrest Otter!
Otter: But we have no evidence!
Bael's phone rings.
Bael: Oh, Y'golonac? Okay, I can be there. One moment.
Horus: (dramatic closeup!) I! HEARD! THAT!
Bael: O-okay okay fine, I'll help you if I feel like it. No promises.

Present
Bael: How did I get into a customer service position again? I'll never live it down if an old acquaintance sees me like this, so I have to destroy this whole plot before then!
Perun: Bael are you being mad over yesterday's popularity results?
Bael: ...sort of, yes.
Perun: Ha, not to worry! I have an ingenious plan!
Team Y'golonac huddles!
Perun: Okay now time for the dramatic cut away...
Later
The Setagaya people are here!
Setagaya Peeps: Hello!
Perun: Welcome to my host club!
MC: No Perun it's not yours / This is your big idea? / Great idea, hi guys!

Perun: Haha, the friend business at work!
Y'golonac: Pretty sure that ain't what it means.
Kijimuna: Wow nice outfit you have on MC! Too bad you can't see it!
Robinson: Yeah, you're good in anything at any time! And you better treat me like a big boy, okay?
Asterios: Um, I...want MC too. I dunno anyone else so...
Bael: Wow, didn't expect to see you here, Asterios.
Asterios: AHH!
Bael: Yessss, I enjoy being feared as a monster.
Asterios: Uh, s-sorry? I'm more of a monster though... (cowers)
Bael: Aw, now I look like I'm bullying you. Look, being alone also means being top class! It's not that people don't accept you, it's that they're not on your level. Come with me and I'll show you how to be fabulous.
MC: Wow he can actually be nice? / I'm worried for Asterios now / Con artist alert

Sarutahiko: Their big genius plan's a lot less big and genius than I thought it'd be.
Perun: Haha, you are just too plebian to grasp it!
Sarutahiko: Meh. But anyways, you're still not done with it then?
Perun: Yes! Behold, simpleton! (claps)
Lots of fruit gets brought out.
Gullinbursti: Hello, your order!
Volos: I brought the best tropical fruits from school.
Yamasachi: Gullinbursti and I got the best mountain veggies for soup too!
Barong: Wow you guys have this in Tokyo too?
Perun: Serve me and you might have some.
Barong: Hmm...
Tsukuyomi: You can't actually be thinking about it are you?
Perun seems happy. But then something seems missing.
Perun: Wait where are the flowers I asked Hippolytas for?
Volkh: Here Sir. He had to leave early...
Perun: This is the best I could expect of him I suppose. Good enough! Make juice and bouquets for my team! HAHAHA, enjoy the literal fruits of Setagaya's farm labor!
Sarutahiko: Oh my god how are we supposed to deal with that!?
Perun: Watch me flex my Imperial Privilege!
MC: Wow we are so the baddies / Awesome plan! / oooh nice

Perun: Use everything shamelessly!
Tetsugyuu: Okay Sarutahiko, let's show our Umamichi power!
Sarutahiko: (imagines the bar blowing up) ...let's not?
Perun: Team, go call everyone you know too!
Y'golonac: But I dun really know anyone...
Shino and Bael: Hmm...
Shino and Bael have ideas for people.
Fantasy Astaroth: So Bael, if we aren't interacting under Ars Goetia hierarchy but host and customer, can you serve me?
Fantasy Tadatomo: I can order Father around without repercussions!? Hehehe...
Shino and Bael: NO
MC: I don't think they'll do that. Probably. / I wanna watch!
Perun: Pfft. Useless. Whatever, get to your stations, it's almost time to open!
Everyone gets ready.
Y'golonac: My manager position is gettin' taken over!

Later
Perun: ...why are you the first one in today, Volkh? You dare ask me to serve you?
Volkh: N-no! (But I wanted to!)
Perun: Whatever. You may have the honor of helping me change my clothes.
Volkh: Thank you Sir!
Volkh: (wait how is this any different from normal? Oh well, servant's joy and all. I'll start with--)
Perun: Why are YOU here!?
Smoky God and Fuxi are here!
Fuxi: SIIIISTER! You look lovely in anything, even as you seem to be wearing the same thing as ever! But I'm worried you'll get stalkers.... why are you pointing at me?
Smoky God: I heard this place was fabulous, and I suppose that's true if I get the chance to sit next to you. You could've made this place a giant building with a penthouse suite for just us if you had asked me for help.
MC: welp / Dammit I said stay away Big Bro! / I'm not sure I can handle entertaining a socialite
---
(B) Fuxi: And you expected me to comply???
(C) Smoky God: Of course you can. You're the only one worth my time, and this time with you is priceless.
---
Perun: Why are you here and where did Kijimuna and Robinson go?
Fuxi points to the side. Kijimuna and Robinson are having luxury drinks and ice cream!
Kijimuna: Wow, coconut milk ice cream!
Robinson: This drink is awesome!
Fuxi: They sold us their spots. Children are so easy to buy off.
Smoky God: Look out though. Us Invaders rich people weren't the only ones to hear about this place.

Later
Tsukuyomi: Thank you, come again baby.
Tsukuyomi sure is popular. Time for him to cycle customers!
Amaterasu: Hello, I heard my younger brothers are here. Should I take my shoes off here? ...oh, Tsukuyomi. I came to see how you two were doing.
Tsukuyomi: !
Tsukuyomi: Well now, Ama...Sister. Welcome.
It's Amaterasu, who doesn't like being in the spotlight! Tsukuyomi keeps his poker face on.
Amaterasu: So how are you both doing?
Tsukuyomi: MC and I are doing okay.
Amaterasu: Really? You, maybe, but maybe MC can't handle customer service yet.
Amaterasu: (steps closer) Also I know you work nights, but I wish you'd come see me sometimes.
Amaterasu: (steps closer) Look, you have a button loose. Also, introduce me to your work friends.
Tsukuyomi still has his poker face on, but Amaterasu is taking control of the moment!

Barong: Ooh, who she? Maybe I'll take her on.
Sarutahiko: No you dumb bitch, that's Lady Amaterasu! She's the top of Takamagahara and Tsukuyomi's big sister! Oof I hope this doesn't blow up...
Tetsugyuu: Damn, look at you tempting fate.
Sarutahiko: SHUT UP
Sarutahiko's Insight is activated!
Amaterasu: Where is MC anyways? I don't see them, Tsukuyomi.
Tsukuyomi: Different team, so on the other side of the club.
Amaterasu: You let them out of your sight! Hold on, Big Sister is coming!
Tsukuyomi: (grabs Amaterasu's arm) N-now hold on, MC has other friends looking after them, okay?

Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu basically ghosted each other after Susanoo left. They basically live on different planets, and Amaterasu has to keep up the big sister thing in public because of her hierarchy position.
Tsukuyomi: They're popular in-store, the customers like them. It's okay.
Amaterasu: But what if they blow up and bother the neighbors!?
Tsukuyomi: Then we'll handle it, not like you di--um. Never mind that last bit.
Amaterasu picks up on where Tsukuyomi was going with that.
Amaterasu: ...oh, right. It's a bother for me to show up at your work. Sorry.
Amaterasu politely bows to everyone around and leaves. Tsukuyomi seems indignant.
Tsukuyomi: ...ugh, why am I never happy when it comes to family stuff?
Barong: Wow you actually fumbled something?
Sarutahiko: Um, we can handle the club alone for a bit if you want...
Tsukuyomi: (frowns)

Later
Amaterasu is running down the beach! But she doesn't get very far because she's a shut-in.
Amaterasu: (trips) Ow... I can handle work, but family things never work out right...
Amaterasu cries.
Amaterasu: What do I do...?
MC: Amaterasu! / Sister! / (run towards her)
Tsukuyomi: Whew, good thing you didn't get too far.
Amaterasu: Tsukuyomi? MC?
Tsukuyomi: We'd be terrible hosts if we let anyone go home upset. Sorry, we knew how busy you were with running the house.
Amaterasu: No, that's fine. You all know how I ended up kicking Susanoo out. (looks away from MC)
MC: (Welp... not really MY business, but I'll just play along)
Tsukuyomi: Would you come to the beach host club again? We'll make you happy this time. You can see how MC is doing. Okay MC?
MC: Sure, I'll take you.
Amaterasu: Sorry, and thank you. I guess I'll take you two up on that?
Tsukuyomi: Sure. Welcome again to our resort getaway. And thanks for coming along, MC.
MC: It's cool. But is this gonna work out...?

Later
Smoky God: Where's MC? We're settling for Perun in the meantime but still.
Fuxi: At least we get to boss--oh excuse me. Can we get some service?
Perun: Bold of you to assume I act like a normal host.
Bael: *(sighs)* My head hurts now. But this was inevitable with MC here...
Y'golonac: Aww, what's up Bae-by? Oh wait ya sad ya ain't got no friends? It's cool, I'mma loser with no friends too!
Bael: Excuse you, I DO have friends! I just won't be calling them over because I can't lose face for being in a customer service role! (Also I need to prove your power is a menace to society somehow!)
Y'golonac doesn't seem to suspect anything. Bael is internally side-eying him.
Y'golonac: But ya look so hot in that! Yer friends would think so too!
Bael: Like I care. Besides, you got spot number two in Kabukicho. Shouldn't you be able to get to number one if you tried harder?
Y'golonac: But Tsukuyomi won't let me. He said not to lean on my power regulars.
Bael snorts internally. It doesn't seem like Y'golonac is using his special power...also hey there are the cops outside.
Y'golonac: Dunno how much help I'll even be here. We got an extra member, but dunno if that's actually helping, so you gotta go hard too.
Bael: ExcusemeI'mgoingonbreak. (leaves)
Y'golonac: Bro oh my god what? At least pretend to care!

Beach
Horus: Is this where UNNNNCLE is working as a host? I should spend lots of money for him!
Masashi: Wait, is that Father there too? Was I not good enough!? I can do anything if Mother asked me to!
Nobumichi: You guys we are here for work...also where's Otter?
Otter is totally in summer mode.
Red: Hey baby, wanna swim with me?
Otter: Sure!
Nobumichi drags Otter away from a Pickup Artist!
Otter: But why though!? ...ooh, I get it. I'm popular but I love YOU guys!
Nobumichi: Nah, I'm more worried that anyone going after you gets beat to a pulp.
Horus: Otter, we are here for work!
Otter: But we're not even doing anything until Bael calls us! Pwease?
Horus: ...hmm, the chibi makes sense. There's time to see Uncle then.
Nobumichi: (disapproves in cop)

Here comes some other pickup artist!
Yellow: Hey guys, wanna join my group of three for some fun?
Horus: B-but I have Uncle!
Otter: Okay! Wha--(gagged)
Nobumichi: Sorry we're busy!
Yellow walks off in disappointment...
Masashi: Why was I left out? Because I'm still a child!?
Bael: Why are you here? Is my infiltration being canned?
Masashi: No, we're just getting into closer position if you do find something! Also we need to watch you and make sure you don't bail out on us.
Bael: I'd have bailed already if I could.
Masashi: He says, wearing a suit swimsuit.
Bael: I'LL SUE, YOU DAMN BRAT
Masashi: I'm a child and legally can't be held responsible for anything, tee hee~

Simurgh: (walks over) Bael, what's going on with the yelling and shouting?
Simurgh is probably here to check on his subordinates being hired out for the beach host club.
Otter: But Nobumichi, I needs a break~! ...oh my god Bael and Don Simurgh!
Otter was with Simurgh for a bit after his summoning.
Simurgh: Hello again, Otter. Been a while. You seem to be doing fine but...
Horus: Hello I am Horus. I hear you've looked after Otter before.
Simurgh: Eh, I just taught him some stuff. Good to see he's helping.
Quiet tension.
Bael: Do they know each other outside of work?
Nobumichi: Umm...everyone trying too hard to be nice could be a problem too? Maybe?
Simurgh: Heh. Otter, nice sunglasses. Good to see you're taking care of your fur still.
Horus: Otter, nice necklace showing you're my aide.
Otter: Aww, thanks.
Otter ignores the tension.

Simurgh: Wanna decide who Otter likes the most?
Horus: Bold of you to act like you know the answer already. Right, Otter?
Otter: !?
Simurgh: Chicken. Otter you can come back to the family whenever.
Horus: You're on, loser!
Otter: Oh noes you guys stop pweaase~?
Horus and Simurgh: Stop that.
Otter: okay
Battle of the birds!
Bael: ...whatever doesn't bother me with my work, I suppose. You stay out too until I get evidence, Lord Shinbei.
Masashi: Okay. Nobumichi, let's go swimming!
Nobumichi: Sure. Maybe you'll be able to swim on your own today. Okay later, Bael.
Bael: (watches everyone leave) Back to work. Work they could be doing themselves if they're bothering to come here. Ugh, hells.
???: Bael?
Familiar voice! Bael smiles in pain hoping it's not who he thinks it is!
Astaroth: Hi, are you on break? I came over on my own since you never called.

Live A Hero Summer Survival Island Episode 2 (Abridged)

So MC, Sadayoshi, and the Laborer's Site guys are going to go on a boat tour! Pretty ocean.
Lilac: It's nice here. Smells good too.
Isaribi: It does? I live here, I dunno anymore.
Pubraseer: Well the land and sea are close together on Muirauqa IV. Also, where's the Colonel?
Gorou: Changing into something water friendly.
Isaribi: Hey wait, ain't that him? (points)
Sadayoshi: Hello everyone, thank you for waiting.
MC: omg??? / Cute floatie! / Your swimsuit looks great!
(A) Sadayoshi: What is it MC? Is something on my face?
(B) Sadayoshi: Thank you, I heard it's a must-have so I brought it along.
(C) Sadayoshi: Thank you, it's very practical. The advertising said it was good for pools and beaches.
Pubraseer: But so is most other swimsuits...?
Isaribi: W-well, as long as he likes it?

Sadayoshi: I did some research that told me I should bring sandals, a floating ring, and a straw hat. Is everything in order?
Gorou: Yep, you sure look ready to party.
Isaribi: Yup!
Pubraseer: Hell yeah that sorta--I mean, yes it has a nice, casual vibe.
Sadayoshi: Okay, things are starting off well then.
Lilac: Yes, it looks good. Maybe I should change t--MC, who is that waving behind you?
???: Isaribi, MC!
It's Kirsch!
MC: Wow Kirsche! Funny coincidence.

Kirsch: Hey MC, long time no see. How are you guys? Thought I recognized you so I came over! On a trip?
Isaribi: Hey Kirsch! Why didn't ya say somethin' if you were comin' over?
Gorou: Wow, you know a cute girl like her, Isaribi?
Isaribi: Oh yeah, she's Kirsch from Gourmet Fighters! We were on the same space TV show once. And these guys are heroes in the same agency as me.
Isaribi goes on to introduce the Laborer's Site heroes one by one.
MC: And this is Col. Ikusabata. He's a friend coming with me.
Kirsche: I'm Kirsch, nice to meet you! Also wow all you Laborer's Site guys are huge.
Gorou: Comes with the job! But most heroes are like this.
Lilac: Are you here on a trip too, Kirsch?
Kirsch: Nah, work actually. Which I just finished! My hotel is organizing some food stalls and a hero show, so I'm scooping it out and going to a meeting.
Isaribi: Nice!
Kirsch: Thanks! Figured I'd go sightseeing too when I saw you.
Isaribi: We're goin' on a boat tour! Wanna join? Whaddya think, MC?
MC: Sure!

Kirsch: Really? Yay! ...oh wait I came with someone. He should still be around. Is it okay if--(turns around)
Hotel Worker: Sir, noooo! Don't eat that!
Yuhang: It'll be okay! Look, pretty rainbow shell! Bright colors in nature means it must be perfectly safe and edible! And now to taste it raw!
The hotel worker is highly concerned. Yuhang looks happy.
Pubraseer: Oof. Rainbow...fish...flashbacks...
Lilac: W-wow. The things you see on Muirauqa IV.
Gorou: ...Isaribi, can people actually eat that thing?
Isaribi: Huh? Oh yeah that thing. That--
Kirsch: Yuhang oh my god!?
Yuhang: Oh hey Kirsch! Look, new food thing found! (waves shell)

Pubraseer: Is he the hero you came with, Kirsch?
Kirsch: Y-yeah. He's Yuhang, a wandering cook from Planet Yuhang where everything is done on Yuhang time. Scheduling isn't really a thing in his head, but he's a good cook! Like so good you might ask what the hell.
Yuhang: Aww, thanks! Your cakes are great, Kirsch!
Kirsch: Tee hee, I practice my anything goes martial arts baking for my Rumiko Takahashi cameo gig!
Yuhang is examining the shellfish.
MC: Hi I'm MC. / hot
(C) Yuhang: Ooh you like me? Wanna join me on a taste test of things I make? It's all edible, promise!

Yuhang: Oh right, I should introduce myself. I'm Yuhang, a hero with Gourmet Fighters. Nice to meet you! (eats the shellfish)
Isaribi: Wait don't eat that thing raw or--
Yuhang: Hmm... the taste... isn't... bad...? (flops over)
MC: OH MY GOD
Isaribi: Yeah it's poisonous. Not fatally, but cooking makes it safe.
Pubraseer: What's the poison do?
Yuhang: ...zzz.
MC: I-is he sleeping?
Isaribi: Oh, he rolled Sleep out of the seven effects it could have.
MC: All the symptoms of the rainbow! / give details / WHAT

Lilac: Um, shouldn't we be helping Yuhang?
Kirsche: Yuhang does this like all the time. Either the hospital or someone from MAHA comes to tell us about it.
Pubraseer: O-oh. What if he hit his head? MC, give me a hand.
Pubraseer picks up Yuhang and carries him over to MC and Sadayoshi.
Sadayoshi: ...he seems fine, but I'm not a medical specialist.
Isaribi: ...guess we gotta find a doctor! I got this! (picks up Yuhang) I'll take him over! From what I know, Yuhang lucked out tho.
Sadayoshi: I'll come too.
MC: Me too, I'm worried about him.
Isaribi: Thanks guys! The rest of y'all, go on ahead to the dock.
Gorou: Yeah, guess we shouldn't all crowd the doctor's. Good luck, Isaribi.
Isaribi: Yep! I got the Col. and MC with me!
Kirsche: Sorry guys. I'll call my agency just in case.
Sadayoshi: Good idea. I'll tell Yuhang to call you when he wakes up.
And so the group splits off.

Later
Yuhang: ...huh? I was dreaming I ate the best shellfish.
Sadayoshi: That wasn't a dream. MC, Isaribi, Yuhang's awake.
MC: You okay? Kinda shocking you just keeled over.
Isaribi: Ya look better! Doc said ya seem mostly fine. How ya feeling?
Yuhang: Oh you were with Kirsche...so that wasn't a dream.
Sadayoshi: Yes. I'm Ikusabata Sadayoshi, with Japan's Self-Defense Bureau.
Isaribi: I'm Isaribi, Kirsch's friend!
Yuhang: Oh yeah huh. And you're MC right? Sorry about all this. I'm Yuhang.
MC: Well I'm glad you're okay. Nice to meet you again!

Yuhang gets up.
Yuhang: Still kinda sleepy, but I'm okay. Where's everyone else?
Isaribi: They went ahead to the beach.
Yuhang: Huh. Why's that?
Sadayoshi: We've been talking about going on a boat tour. Kirsch agreed to join. How about you?
Isaribi: Uh, maybe dude should sit out after what happened.
Yuhang: I'm good to go!
MC: Well that was fast.
Yuhang: I'm A-OK! Boat tour means food tour! Maybe I'll find more goodies.
Yuhang picks up his bag! The tools inside clink.
Sadayoshi: I suppose? We should call Kirsch.
Isaribi: If Yuhang's good, I'm good! But tell us if you ain't.
Yuhang: Thanks! This is gonna be good!
Isaribi: Let's go then! The boat's gonna leave soon!
MC: Oh yeah, it is. Let's go!

Elsewhere
Zaniah: Ohohohoho! Muirauqa IV is just as good as I've heard! And the treasure in the sea! I'm so excited! The docking fees are atrocious, but the treasure should be able to pay it ten times over!
Zaniah is walking down the beach. Two people are following her from the shadows before sneaking into her ship.
Isaribi: Okay it should be around here... did y'all see sumthin?
MC: I think? / No?
The party is looking for the tour boat at the beach.
Sadayoshi: I sense someone in that ship.
Isaribi: Oh cool, I thought I saw Kirsch and Gorou!
MC: That doesn't seem right.

Yuhang: Gorou's that carpenter you told me about, right? Well those and patissiers gotta have nimble fingers!
Sadayoshi: ...I suppose that makes sense.
MC: Wait, Colonel hold on / Goddammit I have to do all the snarking around here!?
Isaribi: Eh, we'll find out if we get on!
Sadayoshi: Right, it's almost time to depart.
MC: Yeah! / ...is that really the right boat?
The party starts to board the ship.
Zaniah: NOOOO THAT'S MY SHIP!
Damn, she's kicking up sand running over.
MC: WHOMST

Sadayoshi: MC, do you know her too?
Yuhang: Eh, doesn't seem so? Do you know her, Sadayoshi?
Sadayoshi: ...no. But she's clearly headed this way.
Isaribi: Did girl say this was her tour ship? ...wait why she mad!?
Zaniah is speeding up!
Isaribi: What!? Quick, get on!
Sadayoshi: R-right, we should--
Zaniah: My SHIIIIP! How dare you try to steal from a phantom thief like me! Anonymous, transform me!
Zaniah suits up!
MC: What!?
Sadayoshi: Did she say phantom thief? So she's a villain? And she's using the illegal network Anonymous. MC, please transform us.
Isaribi: Wait, she a villain!? Well now it's an emergency then! I'm in too! (sends contract data)
Yuhang: Oh wait we're fighting? I'm up too, then. (sends contract data)
MC: Got it! Execute!
(click)
MC: ooh, a cook outfit!
Yuhang: Cool huh?
Zaniah: Fight me!
BATTLE START (more happens after)

Zaniah: MY SHIIIIP (snaps whip around)
Sadayoshi: Is she trying to steal the tour boat?
Yuhang: Oh man! She isn't giving up!
Zaniah: Do you have ANY idea how much I paid for docking!?
MC: Fall back and regroup!
Sadayoshi: MC! I agree, but there isn't much space to fall back on!
Zaniah is pushing the party back towards the pier!
Isaribi: UGH! I'll be fine in the water but still!
Sadayoshi: In that case we should get on and call for other heroes.
Isaribi: Oh right, Gorou and the others are on! I'll go--WHOA
Zaniah: OFF! I was okay with letting you go if you backed off, but no more Miss Nice Thief! Grand Theft "Treasure of Kalanchoe"!

Zaniah starts grabbing things with her whip and throwing them at the party!
Yuhang: Oh no! I'm gonna cut those things down!
Isaribi: MC, get down!
MC: Oh god!
The party ducks! One of the things Zaniah throws bumps the engine and kickstarts it!
Isaribi: WHAT
Zaniah: Aaah! What did you guys do!?
Isaribi: Girl we ain't done anythin'!
Sadayoshi: This is your fault for throwing things!
Zaniah: Ugh, out of the way! What did you touch!?
Zaniah tries to fix the engine! Zaniah pulls a Big Red Lever!
Zaniah: NOOOO MY SHIP!
Zaniah cracked the limiters and now the engine speeds up as it falls apart!
Yuhang: AIYAAAAH SO FAST
Sadayoshi: I-it's dragging us along! MC!
MC: OH NO
Sadayoshi grabs a pole on deck and grabs MC!
Party: AAAAAA
And so the cruiser zooms off into the distance.

Elsewhere
Some Island on Muirauqa IV
Giansar: (stares at some screen) Damn, that news bit still blowing up? I mean it's kinda big and figured this would happen but still. And no one will find any evidence it was me! ...but I still gotta lay low here for who knows how long. Hacking sucks like that.
The hideout seems unused in a while. Giansar sighs as he looks at the news.
Giansar: ...fiiiine, data analysis it is then.
Giansar hacks into a data center and displays the data onto his screen.
Giansar: ...the Neo-Axis. Nice how that world puts heroes's strengths into data. My skills and Parallel Weapon are known, and it helps with data collection. Still...
Giansar seems mad as he grinds his teeth.
Giansar: ...why's Zap the Justice held up as an S-Rank Hero? What's he got that I don't?
Beep beep, system alert
Giansar: Wait, something's approaching!? No one's supposed to know about this place! Did someone break through my jamming or--ugh, I'll think through this shit after I get out.
Giansar cuts the data center connection and puts in a log erasure command in! But then something blows up and starts knocking computers offline!
Giansar: wait what the hell just happened
Title Card: Don't Stop Your Rushing Heart
End of Episode

Fabulous Summer Host Episode 2 Part 1 (Abridged)

Rewind! To some time in Old Ones!
???: ...where am I? Uh, I was in some brick wall...
Y'golonac (narrating): Okay so like no one called me in a while, so I just sat on my ass. I don't remember much else though.
The Foreigner looked around, no longer behind the brick wall he was sealed behind.
Later
Y'golonac walks out of Chuo Park and sees himself reflected in some window.
Y'golonac: Oh is that what I look like now? Hmm, maybe I'mma start usin' an accent.
Y'golonac is used to doing this whenever he possesses someone.
Y'golonac: Okay cool. Also, WHAT THE HELL IS ALL THE LIGHT? Where am I???
It's Kabukicho. People are heading to Kabukicho Night School.

Y'golonac: Oh my god did I actually get out!?
Y'golonac clears his throat and tries again.
Y'golonac: Holy shit y'all, I busted loose!
Random Kabukicho students pass by.
Guy A: Dude did you SEE Kressy's face when he got that letter?
Girl B: Yeah I was wheezing! Also wow you actually gave it to him.
Guy A: It's all good. I'll just have to be hotter than ever so he'll regret his life choices.
Y'golonac sees them and is sure he's outside now.
Y'golonac: Y'all this is awesome!
Girl B: Who that? Maybe he's a creep...
Y'golonac tries to bite the guy's shoulders by grabbing it.
Y'golonac: wait why isn't this workin'?
Guy A: Wow old dude, nice tattoos on your hands.
Girl B: Hey bro we got class to go to, go see reception if you gotta talk to someone at school.
Y'golonac: O-oh thanks!
Y'golonac hides behind some school building corner.
Y'golonac: Why can't I use my power? ...also what's this flat thing in my pocket? (touches)

Later
Girl B: Huh. Hey old dude you get lost aro--
Y'golonac handbites Girl B's shoulder!
Y'golonac: Ohhh, so that's how it works.
Guy A: BRO WHAT? Hey Girl you cool???
Girl B: Mm, yeah...
Bite marks spread over Girl B like some death curse!
Girl B: hey bro. You, me, empty classroom. How about it?
Guy A: GIRL WHAT? Hey Old Bro what'd you do to--
Girl B grabs Guy A's arms REALLY HARD!
Girl B for some reason: HELP
Girl B drags Guy A away while Y'golonac thinks about what just happened!
Y'golonac: ...cool, I'm Old Bro now, the Foreigner Y'golonac from Old Ones! Niiiice gwehehe. I'mma corrupt everyone! ...tho it's still hard controllin' anyone with evil thoughts. Base lust is easy but I can find that anywhere!

Later
Guy C: Big Daddy I'm your number one minion, right?
Girl D: No bitch, it's me!
Y'golonac: Now now, no fightin' y'all.
Guy C: What if I bring more minions? Will I get promoted to top priest or whatever?
Girl D: No way, I'll bring more!
Y'golonac: Haha, guess I have to give somethin' special to whoever works hard!
Y'golonac's been learning the language of Tokyo. And now his charmed flunkies are spreading the casualties around while Y'golonac uses his spit to activate his power!
Y'golonac: Haha, suck it baby! Stars not linin' up yet? Pffft, I'mma take over the land like this!
BOOM
Y'golonac: WHAT? Oh my god babies stop fightin'!

It's Ellie and Suzuka!
Y'golonac: Ooh, new babies?
Suzuka: No! Stop causing shit or I'll cut off your head!
Y'golonac: But I like this new head... But y'all got spunk! I like that in a babe!
Y'golonac's charmed crowd of mobs attack!
Y'golonac: Haha--WAIT WHAT
Ellie solos all the mobs without breaking a sweat!
Suzuka: Ellie go easy on them.
Ellie: But I can't. Also punching them out is still better than you cutting them down.
Y'golonac: WHAT, HOW? I ain't ever heard of surfacers this strong!
Ellie and Suzuka look at each other.
Ellie: I'm the Queen here.
Suzuka: And I'm the strongest, totally-a-normal high school girl. Sucks to be you.
Y'golonac: Wait please sweet mercy I surrender!

This all became known in Shinjuku Kabukicho as the Second Vampire Incident because people thought the charmed mobs were vampire bitten. The first incident was with Ellie. Ellie welcomed Y'golonac to the Outlaws and used all her connections to get him to learn Kabukicho's rules. She taught him the most, but rumors sprung up that she was the cause of things. It seemed kind of deliberate. When asked why she did so...
Ellie: Meh, it happens. Whatever, I just felt like doing guildmaster things sometimes.
She got bashed about it around that time she became a big name model, but some popular host suggested she might've done it to cover for someone else. Not to her face, of course.
Ellie: So Y'golonac? You don't owe or whatever. Pay it forward if you have to.

Some people know what happened though.
Masashi and Horus: A vampire didn't do it.
Otter: But the report said so???
Masashi and Horus are visiting Kabukicho and immediately pick up on stuff.
Horus: I sense rulebreakers...
Nobumichi: But Horus, the police bosses say leave Ellie alone!
Masashi: What if it's a cover? Oh wait, second order theorycrafting.
Random knowledge theorycrafting time!
Masashi: What if someone just rolled really high on Persuasion instead of using charm powers? Then they could make a cult... ooh, ooh, I'm gonna solve this case all by myself! And I won't even use magic powers for it!
Otter: Okay, what do? Do I sneak in?
Horus: No, let's investigate who's been going in and out of Kabukicho!

Present
Odaiba Seaside Park. Tons of people here because the Tycoons-Outlaws host club is officially open!
MC: OH GOD THE CROWDS / I think I'm passing out / yeah, we needed as much
Sarutahiko: AAAAAA
Long lines out there.
Perun: Don't worry, they are mostly here for me!
Sarutahiko: Where do you even get that confidence like geez. P sure they're here for the Night King.
Tsukuyomi: schleeepy...
Sarutahiko: WAKE UP IT'S ALMOST SHOW TIME
Barong: Speaking of shows, this is a different kind of excitement. Right Bael?
Bael: I'm not here to make friends, I am here to be the very best, like no one ever was!

Cheers are coming from up front!
Giant A: OMG the Entertainers are here!
Boogeyman: Yeeeahhh we're standing out a little too much I think.
Oscar: It's fine! They can't be that good if we outshine them after all.
Amduscias: Hi Barong we came to visit! ...what the hell are you wearing!?
Cipactli: I WANT MC
MC: The Entertainers!? Why!? / Aww thanks princess
(C) Cipactli: Oooh~
Amduscias: Wow this is nice! I should learn to do this for idol work!

Gorozaemon: Haha, we're here with the TSL C-Side thing too. Oh, but Boogeyman and I are doing something else with some other Entertainers.
Christine: We came to see Barong on our break. You guys got to him before I did.
Barong: Wait are you mad? Sorry, this is the summer stage for me this time!
Christine: Hehe, thank you for playing along. We can't stop whatever show you want to do.
Cipactli: Whatever, let's get a table so I can get MC already.
Oscar: Now now, what if I want MC?
Oscar has grabbed MC's hand while Cipactli has his tail around MC.
MC: yessss / let go dammit / (look to Boogeyman for help)
(C) The other Entertainers smile and do nothing.

Gorozaemon: Yooo Sarutahiko! Drink with me and show me your magic.
Boogeyman: Sarutahiko, Zhurong tells me about you sometimes. Maybe we'll come visit you at the bathhouse sometime.
Sarutahiko: Sure, whenever you want!
Sarutahiko seems competitive.
Boogeyman: (Why is he looking at me like that? Did Zhurong tell him about my freak?)
Barong: Okay, I'll be taking everyone else then. This way!
And so the Entertainers go sit with their chosen hosts.
Boogeyman: Ahh, this must be paradise.
Gorozaemon: I know right?
Sarutahiko: HOW IS THIS ANY DIFFERENT FROM A BATHHOUSE AGAIN!?
Sarutahiko is massaging Boogeyman and Gorozaemon.
Oscar: Hey look MC, my fruit plate order. Open up~!
Cipactli: Back off, MC's mine!
MC: Nooo fighting! / how did we get here / Let's do it together!
(C) Oscar and Cipactli start fighting!

Barong: You guys are so nice to come see me when you're all so busy. You cute kitties you!
Amduscias: Haha, look at me Senpai! I'm not a kitty when I'm this big.
Christine: We are all but specks of dust to our audience in the balcony seats.
Barong: I don't think that's what he meant, but it's nice how cool headed you are, Christine!
Barong kisses Christine's hand. Christine just smiles. Amduscias screams.
Christine: I'm enjoying things in my own manner. It's a new feeling being treated like this while not in character of some kind. But one question: how long are you going to keep cutting corners?
More noise at other tables!
Oscar: Yeah, why come all this way to do the same old thing?
Amduscias: Yeah, I wanna see your show! I even brought pen lights!
Barong: Welp, guess I have to now!

Later
Y'golonac: I know what ya like, baybee~!
Suddenly music!
Y'golonac: Wait what!?
Other part of club
Christine: Welcome to Fabulous Summer Host. Did you want fawning attention? And for some of you in that category...did you wonder if you were worth it?
Y'golonac: HOL' UP IS THIS A GODDAMN TAKEOVER???
Christine: Oops we overdid the helping the guild dancer. Okay, please take care of Barong, Night King.
Tsukuyomi: Whoa, heavy expectations. I'll do my best.
Tsukuyomi takes a mic. How long has it been since he did hype work? In his bar, it's for hyping up the other hosts so he's top class at it.
Tsukuyomi: Are you worth it, you say? Of course you all are, my fabulous guests! Did you want to feel it? Look at Barong!
Barong is up on a pole!

Barong: Welcome kitties! No touching during the show, but you can touch all you want when I'm off! Go ahead, stuff those tips under my strap! Make it rain even, but don't look away!
Barong winks and starts spinning! Sometimes he goes slow and sometimes he slides quick into a pose.
Mobs: OH MY GOD
MC: Wow! / (give tips)
So many tips flying! Barong keeps winking and blowing kisses until the crowd goes crazy! Then he gets down and points to someone.
Governor A: Aww I came all this way but I'm too chicken to get closer...
Barong is pointing at that guy.
Tsukuyomi: Wow, you're our lucky star today! Get up there!
Governor A: w-wait what
The crowds part and form a path!
Barong: Come on kitty, you ain't seen nothing yet!
Governor A walks up and kneels! He seems to have a halo???
Barong: Alright, keep watching until the end!
