THIS IS A PERSONA 5 X READER FANFICTION, THERE WILL BE SMUT!
Okay so before we start, sorry for dedicating a whole page to a disclaimer-thing, but I don't know how I'd end up describing and explaining all this stuff in the actual fic so, first I'll give a bit of an explanation: 水商売 is the kanji for 'Mizu-shōbai', which is a term used to describe a multitude of 'night-time entertainment businessness', such as maid cafes, soaphouses, and host/hostess clubs. Host/hostess clubs are actually usually called 'Kyabakura' but I didn't want to get too specific. This is an AU where the PT never really happened and everyone came together via various different ways, everyone is alive and happy and Akira and Akechi are friends. I am aware that prostitution, or, more specifically, payment for sexual penetration, is illegal in Japan, however, since this is a fictional setting, however, I have decided to include that act in this fanfiction.
As for the hostess bar that your...persona, I could say, in this story works at, I'm actually uncertain as to the size and layout of the Shinjuku city, however, I'm going to assume that it's actually rather large and has a few backstreets and alleys (apologies if I'm wrong), and the bar is placed in one of these back-alleys so it's not very large or popular, it has a 'normal menu' for food and a 'special menu' for...certain other acts. Depending on the act requested from the 'special menu', the patrons will have to pay certain amounts of money, and extra if they want anything else, and the patrons also have a choice to choose between performing these...acts in one of the backrooms or one of the mostly closed in booths, which cost more money and have a bit of a 'try to be quiet' rule. I would also like to add that there are two different 'roles', per-se, in the work place, the common maid, who just takes orders and serves food, and the hostess, who, well...yeah, lol.
Anyhow, on with the story.
