The hotel was bigger than Mana had described.
When I approached the reception, they asked if I wanted to make a reservation.
When I told them I came to work at the party, they looked at me strangely.
Probably, they didn't believe me.
It seemed that the party was more exclusive than I thought. Not everyone could enter.
And sadly, I had no way to prove that what I said was true.
I felt a bit annoyed and resigned. I would have to look for another job.
With Mana still by my side, I turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, I ran into an acquaintance.
It was the officer.
He looked serious, the opposite of his attitude at the party the other night.
Who would have imagined that behind that regal bearing, deep gaze, and well-pressed uniform, there was a guy who shared drugs and drank liquor from the bellies of young girls?
He also saw me. He seemed a bit confused, maybe trying to remember my face.
—Oh, bartender. What brings you here? Are you also going to serve at this party?
Apparently, he recognized me. His eyes scanned the reception, stopping at the legs and butts of the receptionists.
Seeing Mana by my side, his eyes went to her breasts. But after a brief look, he wrinkled his nose and looked away.
I stood in front of Mana.
—Yes, sir officer. Today I planned to tend the bar. But it seems they won't let me in.
He looked at me a bit confused, but soon nodded.
—I see, I see. Don't worry, it's normal. Security is very strict and you're a new face. But you could have called Saya. If you're working with her, she should have prepared a staff pass for you.
I was confused. Who was Saya? Moño?
---
Now that I thought about it, I didn't remember anyone's name. Maybe just Saki's and now Mana's.
But could they blame me? Who remembers the name of simple NPCs?
However, now I understood that everything here was real. And although I wasn't very interested in knowing more about these people, at least I should remember their names. After all, we might meet at other events.
I asked Mana for her cell phone. I took out the business cards and looked for Moño's.
Sure enough, on the card it said "Saya." After a couple of rings, someone answered.
—Hello. Who is this?
It was Moño's voice.
—Hello, I'm Noa, the bartender. I'm downstairs. It seems I needed a pass to enter.
—Oh. You should have called first. Anyway, put me through to the girl at reception.
I handed the cell phone to the girl in black stockings. After a few minutes, they returned the phone to me and gave me a pass along with a polo that said "STAFF."
Mana, being by my side, received a similar pass, but instead of a polo, they gave her a very lascivious maid uniform.
It looked like a bikini with an apron and some ruffles.
Mana received it a bit confused.
I tried to explain, but the receptionist hurried us to enter. The party seemed to be about to start and there was a lot to do.

I didn't plan for Mana to stay. But when I told her she didn't have to wear that outfit, she simply replied that she didn't want to go back home. She wanted to see me work.
I didn't think it was the best environment for her, but I couldn't make her leave. I gave her some recommendations and mentally prepared her for what she would see.
We entered a bathroom where she undressed and put on the bikini.
Given the size of her breasts, it didn't fit her very well. It looked tight and barely covered anything. I gave her the polo since, anyway, it didn't fit me.
She put it on over, folded her clothes, and we stored them in a locker. I didn't change. There was nothing for me to wear.
The party seemed to be outdoors, by the pool. Several girls were already there. Some wore flashy bikinis, others were topless, and some wore the bikini/uniform that was given to Mana.
The uniformed girls seemed to be employees; the rest, guests. There was no sex in sight yet. I supposed the party hadn't started yet.
Along with Mana, I approached the bar. It was quite well-stocked. Although it might not seem like it, I was always quite professional in my work. So, I minutely checked the glasses, cups, and bottles.
I made sure there was enough ice and that everything was in order.
Mana, by my side, just observed. I decided she should help me since she was there.
She gave me a dirty look, but started cleaning the glasses.
---
The music started playing. Many girls started screaming with excitement.
The guests started arriving, most of them in swimwear.
It was a pool party, so it was obvious.
I was the only one dressed. I felt out of place, but work is work.
Moño... no, Saya, approached. She wore a red bikini that highlighted her figure.
I had to admit she was beautiful: pretty face and sculpted body.
Many guests were mesmerized watching her.
I just greeted her and continued working. No matter how beautiful she was, she wasn't mine. And although I felt like I was changing, my tastes... wouldn't.

Mana was deeply surprised. At first, she thought Noa was exaggerating with his warnings. How crazy could a party be?
How wrong she was.
It didn't take long for the girls in the pool to start riding some man. Mana thought they were couples. Although she blushed seeing the scene, she wasn't surprised much. She had done much more with Noa last night.
But seeing other guys join and start taking them between several was shocking.
If it had been an isolated case, it would have been more acceptable. But similar scenes started happening everywhere.
Mana started to think that staying had been a bad idea.
Noa didn't flinch. He just professionally tended the bar. It didn't seem to matter to him if the women came to order drinks naked, hanging from some guy, or crawling. He simply took the order, shook or mixed the liquor, and served the glasses or cups with ice.
Mana thought it was admirable. When she took an order, she couldn't help but look.
From breasts to penises, everything passed in front of her eyes.
—"Noa is big, huh?"— Seeing so many naked men allowed Mana to compare her boyfriend with the rest, and unknowingly, Noa had won his girlfriend's admiration.
Mana was also able to compare how they behaved and treated their partners. Some were rough, others violent. But no one like Noa. No one seemed to treat their sex partner kindly. Just put in, take out, drop.
Seeing so much started to bore Mana. She started to understand Noa. Probably, he had seen enough to make everything seem boring to him. So, it didn't affect him to be surrounded by all this.
