*eternal screams*
Hajime internally groaned. He could practically see the tension between the cousins (although most of the guests would be a bit too airheaded to sense it too), but this would likely upset the guests, and upset guests made for low profits, which led to less money being available for their shows, which made the guests even unhappier...it was one of those vicious cycles his father always talked about. He could see their feud being profitable, though; for some reason, some guests loved the whole sibling (cousin?) rivalry schtick. He'd bring that up to the others after they were done, he decided.
He'd be done pretty soon, hopefully. Hajime hadn't run the idea past anyone yet, but he planned to host half the time, and spend the other half being hosted by the girls. If he could learn of the Hostess's weaknesses, he'd be able to play them for the favor of the boys. As silly as the rivalry was, his club came first. The intel might be useful. Or it might turn out be a total waste of time, he thought to himself.
"I apologize, Aikawa-san," he said to his last guest, bowing. "I'm only hosting half the usual time, so I'm sorry to cut your visit short. I enjoyed spending the time with you, and look forward to seeing you again." Sometimes, it paid off a little to not be one of the popular hosts. He stood up, offering a hand to the girl, and showed her to the exit before crossing over to the girl's side, heading towards the lady he recognized as Yume.
"Pardon me, mind if I join you, miss?"
