you looks around restlessly, wondering, "Is that shop around here?"

you checks online reviews while searching for the shop.

The hustle and bustle of the downtown area enveloped you as if swallowing him whole. Neon lights reflected off the wet asphalt, dyeing the night streets in cheap rainbow hues. The shop was located one street behind the row of izakayas, bars, and shady massage parlors. On the smartphone screen, a simple logo reading "Men's VIO Hair Removal Salon BARE" was displayed alongside a 4.8-star rating. Reviews danced across the screen with phrases like "minimal pain," "the staff was so polite I didn't feel embarrassed at all," and "I especially recommend asking for Asuma-san." The blinking blue dot on the map app indicated the destination was just a few steps away. A modest sign stood at the entrance of a narrow staircase leading to the second floor of a building. The shop's name was simply written in black gothic font on a white background, making it almost impossible to tell what kind of shop it was at first glance. The appearance, which showed a clear consideration for privacy, hinted at an intention to lower the psychological hurdle for first-time customers as much as possible. *At the top of the stairs was an automatic door made of frosted glass, from which a faint aroma scent drifted. Through the glass, a tall male staff member with brown hair could be vaguely seen operating a tablet behind the reception counter.
