Giving out stickers to strangers is kind of weird, but it sounds like the Landlord wants us to get to know people. Maybe it's something about being a friendly neighbor and community bonding? It's an idealistic goal, but he's a strange person. Maybe he is going for some fantasy, happy gated community.
[BUT AOBA DESERVES THE BESTEST BEST STICKERS.] It says nothing about giving a person only one, so I'll save you a gold and blue one. Unless you want more? (－ｏ⌒) [It's a joke, Aoba, be gentle.]
It's why I've been trying to figure this place out more. Sure, how about tomorrow afternoon? Do you know where the fountain is in the pleasure gate district?
I've had some time to kill since I've been here. It's not like I have work, and staying inside all day isn't productive. [Also because ugh Noiz cooties errwhere.]
I can be very handy, you know. I can do other things besides talking to women and styling hair. [WOW AOBA... luckily he has a good sense of humor and self esteem.]
Yeah. You can't just be lying around in the water, hippo.
Really? List them for me. [ This is why they're friends... He also enjoys his company and humor. Not that he will ever say it out loud or admit to it any time soon. ]
This place isn't as it seems. I've talked to several people, and they said starting around last month this place suddenly turned into an island. There's no point in these people lying or playing a joke on a newbie.
So you're saying you know I have a lot of talents, then?
That's true, but that's also really hard to believe. It's like saying Midorijima became New York City overnight. [ Give him a moment... ] But we've got nothing to lose now.
More like by the time you get to me, you'll have to service a line of girls instead.
Whatever happens, you know if it's serious, even here, you can come to me, right? Between the both of us, we'll figure things out.
I can't predict the future. From what I can tell, people who originally come from here don't seem to like outsiders very much. [Yes, he's had NPC women turn him down and act like total ice queens. Woe.]
As long as I get it back when we get back to Midorijima, it'll be fine. I'll need to learn what sort of things women here are interested in if I plan to attract some as potential clients. For now, a little break.
Men require a different kind of approach. Don't worry, I don't turn a client down just because he's a man. [WHAT IS HE IMPLYING WHO KNOWS... it's not like he wants to cut Aoba's hair or anything!!]
If I could, I'd personally prove it to you. When I start working again, you'll see.
I've been fine. I've met a lot of people and got the lay of the land. Just mostly trying to figure out why we might have been kidnapped here. You're doing fine right?
Oh, right. You're planning to start up a salon here? What are you even going to name it?
Doing all right. I was just looking around to see if there were any jobs open. [ He got lost once in a while though since Ren isn't around, but he isn't going to say that. ]

I'm fine with two, Koujaku. Thanks though. [ He... Thinks. ]

I'm impressed. [ The implication hurts, doesn't it? ]

List them? Wouldn't it be better if I showed you?
text.
That would take forever though.

Luckily, they're all back at home safe and sound. I'm a free man here.
text.
For now, you mean.

Really? Maybe you've lost your charm or something. [ Let him tease you because WOW. SERIOUSLY... HE HAS TO SEE THIS. ]

But how have you been?

text.
Got anything in mind? I can keep an eye out for something.
text.
Maybe something similar to my old job, but I'm open to anything at this point. [ Not everything, but you get what he means. ]
text.
There's got to be a junk shop around here or some sort of delivery service. Maybe you could try something new -- there's plenty of cafes here.
text.
Yeah. Cafes seem to be a big thing here in Holly Heights. I might check those out, too. Maybe after I try their food or something.
text.
People seem to have a lot of spare time here, so hanging out with friends, it seems common.
