Hope's Peak Host Club (Sairuma)

The Making of a Host

Just looking for a quiet place to study, Shuichi sauntered around the endless halls, which were so well lit that he felt like he was in a movie. He looked up to the sign above a large door.

'Music Room 3'. Wasn't it abandoned? He pushed the door open to find the Host Club.

A long-haired strawberry blonde in a pink dress turned to Shuichi. Her clothing was showy and somehow made her seem arrogant.

"Ah! Shuichi, right?!" She said, noticing him.

"Uh, yeah, but I have to get going... I was really only looking for a place to study."

Somehow the blonde was already in front of Shuichi, lifting his chin with the tips of her fingers.

"A real bookworm, huh? Ya must have had good grades to get into Hope's Peak! The name's Miu!" Miu posed dramatically.

"Uh, okay." Shuichi fiddled with the door handle, and he was almost knocked over by a flying purple blur.

"A kid?!"

"Hi Shumai!"

"Who're you calling Shumai..?"

"I like you! Do you like Monokuma?" The spiky-haired child held up a black and white stuffed bear.

"I mean... He's cute..." Shuichi told him, not wanting to hurt his feelings. The bear's one red eye stared straight at him, sending chills down his back.

A tall woman who seemed completely out of place and more matured picked up the child over her green hair silently.

"Are you not familiar with the host club?! That's weird, you seem like the type to have kinky love suite fantasies about us." Miu said bluntly.

"I do..? What even is a love suite..?"

"Whatever. That's Kokichi..." She pointed to the child, "Kirumi," the green haired teen, "Rantaro," The more reserved one, who sat in the back with a clipboard pushed his glasses up.

"And Korekiyo and Megumi!" Though they were opposite genders, they were still identical.

"Now, what are you here for?" Miu jumped in.

"Uh, what do you mean?" Shuichi replied, backing away. "I just wanna go study..."

"You came here for a reservation, right? The go ahead and make one." Rantaro pushed.

Kokichi has escaped from Kirumi and was attacking Shuichi's personal space (and his leg). Shuichi stumbled over something behind him and heard a loud smash.

"Uh oh," Miu grumbled.

Shuichi turned to the shattered vase pieces and immediately dropped to the floor trying to gather the pieces, but Rantaro waved him off and Kirumi took care of it.

"We were gonna auction that off for $11,037, but I guess that's gone now." Megumi chimed in.

 That much?! Shuichi thought to himself.

"I-I'll pay for it." He stammered.

"You bet you will! But how?" Miu's face grew red as she smirked, and Kirumi slapped her on the back of her head.

"OW! Sigh... Well, i guess... When in Rome, do as the Romans do! You will be the Host Club's dogsbody!

Shuichi surveyed the room as he brought in the items he had been tasked to buy.

Kokichi was sitting around a few girls drinking some sort of purple soda happily.
