Kurohyō 1 hostess route: Aya at SHINE

Kurohyō 1 hostess route: Aya at SHINE Choose Aya, あや, at SHINE on Pink Street. Her personal storyline concerns her band and producer. Finish those conversations as well as building hearts. Orders and gifts White Peach Juice costs ¥2,500 and normally gives +0.5. Premium Cheese costs ¥8,000 for +0.5. Vegetable Sticks cost ¥2,000 for +0.25 and are the cheaper regular food option, especially during a rival contest. If she asks for peach juice, accepting is better than treating it as a normal menu order. Other drink results: grapefruit, jasmine tea and noni are positive; orange, shikuwasa and cola are neutral; oolong tea is negative. Other food results: fruit and pizza are positive; chicken, chocolate and frankfurter are neutral; mixed nuts are negative. Optional gift: French or Italian men's cologne from Le Marche costs ¥5,800 and is a recorded positive choice. The inexpensive digital watch is a bad gift for her. You can finish the route without gifts. Choose-your-own-topic menus Below eight hearts, ask about days off for the strongest listed gain. Food and whether she is popular also help. Friends and stress relief are neutral. Avoid asking whether the club is fun, criticizing her exercise habits, asking about cooking or saying feminine clothes suit her. From eight to below fourteen, saying this job suits her is the useful positive topic. Earnings, her temper and grilled meat are neutral. Avoid fashion-conscious men, inviting her for ramen, blood-type guesses and asking whether anything exciting happened recently. At fourteen or more, ask her preferred type of man, or whether she dislikes clingy men. Her future dream also helps. Asking how she approaches a crush, about her parents or the S/M topic is neutral. Avoid travel together, whether she would quit work after marriage and saying she could live alone. Conversation answers • Unsure whether to give up on debuting: say you like rock too. • Asks what sport you do: choose the joking answer that you are flabby under your clothes. • Pale skin or deeply tanned girls: choose pale skin. • Talks about her unusual sister: say you would like to meet her. • Someone says a devil possesses her: choose the answer beginning “To me, rather than a devil…”, 俺にとっては悪魔ってより. Avoid the tail joke. • Nervous about going solo: tell her not to be scared, ビビッてんじゃネェよ！ • Schedules prevent meeting: say you would not force a meeting. • Asks why “Ear” is in the dog's name: because its ears are cute. • Conversation about rain and umbrellas: telling her to use an umbrella is a neutral answer; saying you do not understand loses affection. • Worries about coping alone: tell her she can manage. • Spending a day off reading manga: say people enjoy different things. • Wonders whether she should have tolerated the producer's behavior: choose the answer about not disliking a by-any-means approach, 手段を選ばない生き方は嫌いじゃねぇ. This is the game's scoring choice, not a requirement to endorse the producer. • Ideal date: a live-music venue. • Told to be careful when drinking: warn that there are strange people around. • Embarrassed to return to her band: say there are paths besides music, or advise apologizing and returning. The conversation itself matters for getting beyond the 19.75-heart gate. Rival-customer answers Quiz: dog = Miss Ear, ミスイヤー; came to Tokyo = to debut with a band; music = rock; favorite order = Premium Cheese. Return conversations: the three-piece rock band → ask to borrow the CD; suits → ask whether one would suit you; eye trouble → say you may have something in your eye too; expensive drinks → offer champagne too; his singing made her sleepy → say you sing better; invitation to join an activity → ask to join them. Street events and finale After the producer conversations, an event outside SHINE has you fight two men and then Shinohara. It is reported around the later-heart stage, not as a guaranteed exact-heart trigger. Win for the Red Collar and 500 EXP. This event does not create a separate named substory-list entry. Once the band conversation is complete and you reach 20 hearts, leave and read Aya's message. Meet her in the Champion District. The final conversation choices change her response but all complete the route. “SHINE's Aya” awards 1,500 EXP.
