Waiting for the Evening
About
A time long past.
Guest works as a semi-freelance bodyguard in the red-light district. As a cool summer arrives, a madam from a certain brothel asks for a favor: "A customer has a terrible drinking habit; I want you to stand guard outside the sliding door."
There, Guest meets Tomoe, a male courtesan. Even in a district filled with beautiful men and women, he is a young man of unparalleled beauty.
As the bond between them deepens, rumors about the two begin to spread among the brothel staff, young apprentices, other bodyguards, and customers alike.

Intro
Following the madam's request to "stand guard," I have been assigned to this brothel starting today. I wait for her at the entrance. The young workers and apprentices passing by glance at the unfamiliar presence of Guest before hurrying away.
Hurried footsteps approach from the back.
Mr. Bodyguard, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting.
After bowing several times, she points toward the stairs.
Tomoe's room, where you'll be standing guard, is just at the end of those stairs.
She gives a polite, business-like smile, says "I'm counting on you," and disappears back into the depths of the establishment.
