Kurohyō 1: Cabaret Club Tiger and the hostess completion check

Kurohyō 1: Cabaret Club Tiger and the hostess completion check Cabaret Club Tiger, キャバクラの寅, is unlocked by winning the rival-customer contest for each of the six initially available hostesses: SHINE: Aya, Mika and Jo. JeweL: Yu, Saya and Kirie. Yurika is excluded. You do not need her post-clear route to trigger this encounter. What “win” means The contest begins when you enter with ten or more hearts and the hostess is called over to another customer. Answer her departure quiz and return conversations correctly until the rival gives up. Getting her to ten hearts merely opens this system; it does not count as beating the rival. The six rival wins are also different from the six final personal substories. Keep both checklists. Twenty hearts alone is not the whole hostess route, and a completed street finale is not a reason to ignore whether the rival contest actually ended. The fight After the sixth required rival victory, leave the club. Hanamachi confronts you outside. He is level 10 and uses Weapon Master/Weapon Mania level 3. Carry recovery items before the visit that will finish the sixth contest, so you are not caught with an empty inventory. Defeat him to complete Cabaret Club Tiger. The fight pays ¥30,000. You also receive the 1,000-conquests medal, 1000人斬りのメダル, and 500 EXP. Why it matters for Gaia The Japanese guides report Gaia becoming available with individual hostess story endings still unfinished, but only after Cabaret Club Tiger was cleared. That means “hostess stories are not all required for Gaia” is not the same as “skip the clubs entirely.” The six rival wins and Tiger remain part of the unlock checklist. For all seven hostess completions, finish each woman's final street event as well, including Yurika after loading clear data. If you want to preserve an existing run's completion progress, use Premium Adventure from the clear save. Premium New Game starts a new story run and resets the substory progress even though it carries other things over. If Tiger does not appear, check for one original hostess whose rival still returns. Don't begin by grinding Yurika: she is not the missing seventh requirement.
