	Hey, Doc! Why don’t you come hang at my club after work!
	Hifumi-kun, is there something physically wrong with you today?
	Huh? No way, I’m like totally fine!
	Now, remind me, when do we go to the hospital?
	When your body’s like… busted and stuff?
	Exactly. So, let me ask you again, Hifumi-kun, is any part of your body "busted" today?
	Nah, not at all! Just look at me! I’m feelin’ so good it should probably be illegal!
	Then, could you enlighten me as to why you’re here, inviting me to your club?
	Oh, well, yeah. You like, super helped me out, Doc, so I wanted to treat you to a drink is all.
	I am very grateful to hear that, but I don’t… exactly not drink, but… Alcohol and I…
	As long as you don’t NOT drink then that settles it!
	(I forgot who I was talking to. He won’t listen to a word I say. Well, I guess I’ve never been to a host club before, so it might be a fascinating experience…) Then I will stop by when I’m done with my work for the day.
	I’m gonna show you the time of your life tonight, Doc!
	Goodness gracious… I fear I am growing too accustomed to visitors who aren’t here for medical appointments.
	Doctor, I’m sorry Hifumi twisted your arm to invite you out like this.
	It’s no trouble at all. Were it not for his invitation, I would have never thought to visit a host club. How fascinating. Speaking of, Doppo-kun, have you ever been to this establishment before?
	No, it’s my first time.
	I see. I had no idea host clubs allowed men as patrons before today.
	I know, right?
	You look a bit more down than usual today. Did something happen?
	Oh no, nothing in particular. Hifumi just stopped by the office today.
	Oh, he did?
	I can’t believe it. He had the bright idea to show up in his suit because he’s scared of my female co-workers and started hitting on every woman he saw with no regard for where he was. I tried to stop him, but you know how he is, he didn’t listen to a word I said and ended up trying to pick up every woman in the office. Do you know what my boss said to me after that? I doubt you’d even believe it. I was docked half a year’s salary. And then my integrity started being called into question. That goddamn bald manager even nagged at me about how "your friends are a reflection of yourself." Ultimately, they ended up labeling me as a filthy womanizer too. Agh, what did I do to deserve this… This is just like what happened last time, I––
	Doppo-kun. Doppo-kun, you’re doing it again.
	Oh, I'm sorry. I lost my composure for a moment.
	Oh, who have we here? Welcome and thank you for coming. Tonight is my treat, so please relax and enjoy yourself to your heart’s content.
	Hifumi! You know it’s all your fault I–! I–!
	My dear and immortal friend, I want you to enjoy yourself with all your heart as well. No matter how expensive the drink, it’s on me.
	Nevermind, I can’t get through to him when he’s got that suit on. I’m not gonna be able to take it if I don’t at least get some expensive booze out of this.
	I’m so sorry, doctor, but I have to attend to a client for a bit, would you share a toast with me before I go?
	Oh, no, if I drink I… tend to blackout.
	Oh, just one glass, I insist. This is the most expensive champagne in the house. Please, allow me to propose a toast as a symbol of my gratitude.
	(I suppose turning him down here would be quite rude. The thought of not knowing what I might do after I blackout is terrifying, but…) Perhaps, one glass.
	Thank you for indulging me. Now! Doppo! You join in too!
	Hmph!
	Now, toast!
	Ahh…! *Hic*
	Hmm? Doctor?
	More!
	Huh? What?
	Whatchu talkin’ ’bout, gimme more booze! Take that!
	Gah!
	And that!
	Oww!
	I-I can’t believe doctor smacked us…
	Boooooze! I said bring me more booze, dipshit!
	H-H-Hifumi! Hurry up and get some more to give him!
	S-Sure thing! Drinks… This table need more drinks, stat!
	Come on, come on! I need booze! Booze! Gonna drink myself stupid today! I ain’t leavin’ ’til I drink the house dry!
	Doctor, please be gentle.
	I-I think he snapped.
	C’mon! C’mon!
	Ugh, my head hurts. I don’t remember anything after I made that toast with Hifumi-kun and Doppo-kun yesterday. Oh no, everyone’s out like a light. Did we drink that much? Are you two alright?
	I-I can’t drink anymooooore!
	D-Doctor, n-no, sorry! I made a mistake! Boss! P-Please, cut me some slack! I-I can’t drink another drop!
	Umm… I don’t remember a thing after that first glass. Did I fall asleep after that?
	Hifumi.
	Yeah.
	We’re never letting him drink again.
