[It's cute that Jun thinks "romance" has anything to do with this.
Hiyori has a different view. He's well aware you can do that sort of act without love. The illusion of love is more than enough— pretending in order to stave off loneliness. You can "date" someone without love, hold them without love, even enter a loveless arranged marriage—all are possible and even common in this world.
They're possible with love, too, of course. But if the goal here really is to pick up 52 "cards," romance is surely impossible. No one in their right mind would let their romantic partner sleep with 50 other people on their watch. Hiyori especially—he's never dated seriously before, and won't be starting now since he's an idol, but if he were to ever date, he's the type who'd want to tie his partner down. The type who'd want to ensure his partner don't even so much as look at anyone else...
Well, anyway!]
I'm not sure it's just our songs as Eve...
[Saying only Eve has horny song lyrics would be Dance in Apocalypse erasure.]
But none of our lyrics are remotely comparable to what's on that thing. Let that be your warning, I suppose.
[With those ominous words, he steps out into the hall. In the Nest, there are plenty of benches around for shoppers who need to take a rest, alongside tables outside the little cafes and eateries. It isn't long before they find somewhere to sit and read their watches. But, noticing other passerby around, Hiyori does reject Jun's first idea.]
Maybe somewhere a bit further in...
[And he'll lead them further down until they find an area with less foot traffic. It truly is amazing how the shops seem to stretch on forever, like a shopper's paradise. It's the kind of place he'd love to explore in literally any other circumstance. However, the inclusion of some shops is puzzling. Why is there a store selling outdoor goods, for example? They're trapped indoors here! And so, having found a shop with absolutely no people entering or exiting, Hiyori plops down on the bench outside.]
Here seems about right.
[He crosses his legs, lifts his watch in the air, and swipes at the screen until he pulls up the welcome message. There's no need to read aloud, he figures, so all he does is tilt the watch so that they both can see. This will require Jun to lean into his space, but oh well.]
Now, let's see here...
[The introductory message is something he's read a few times. "Thank you for checking in to the Golden Peacock, 5-Star Resort and Casino. Check out is scheduled for ¿¿UNDETERMINED¿¿. Complimentary chips have been added to your bank account. Welcome to the deck." Of course, that last part had confused him when he first read it. What does "welcome to the deck" even mean? But he's started to get an idea of what that means, which is unfortunate, because he doesn't like it one bit.
His thumb scrolls down further. It's onto the Game 52 rules.
Which is where things go from bad to worse. Or, more accurately, from confusing and annoying to flat-out obscene.

If you or your fellow card is struggling to climax, we recommend switching acts or positions midway. For example, instead of having sex in the missionary position, you could try—"]
Ugh.
[If Jun glances at Hiyori he won't find him blushing, but he will find him looking at the screen in absolute disgust.]
Sorry, Jun-kun. I'm already tempted to quit. Whoever wrote this absolute filth ought to be purged from the world.
