Mizuhara Chizuru is just a rental girlfriend.
A fake that won't last.
And one you're not allowed to fall for.
But...
Mizuhara!
I can't say that it's fate
How many more centimeters should I get close to you
While I can't (While I can't) say it,
You are the one I like, so I gaze at you from behind
Everyday is busy
I have no confidence going on a date with you
The more you shine
The more and more miserable I become
The time when we can't meet plus the moment when you smile
Divide this wonderful moment in half
Such a clumsy me and you who pretends to be tough
is unexpectedly a good match, I thought!
When you realise it, it's too late
Again, I can't say that it's fate
How many more centimeters should I get close to you
What can I (What can I) do for you? What should I do to help you?
That day, when your smile looked like "I'm okay"
How many centimeters are you walking forward
Because if (because if) I say that you are the one
Then maybe I can catch up to you
Will I be able to reach out to you
Where am I?
Oh, right, I fell from the ferry.
Mizuhara!
This guy, saved me...
This keeps getting worse!
Not only I can't take care of myself, I even put a customer in danger.
Hey, come on.
Huh?
Hey! Come on!
You can't be serious! Hey!
Stop it, this isn't funny! Wake up!
S-Someone help!
What was it? Pump the chest 30 times.
What were you thinking?!
Didn't I tell you to use me however you like?
Doing this for someone who isn't you real girlfriend,
are you seriously this dumb?!
I told you already, I'm just a rental girlfriend!
He's not a bad person.
How can I be angry at a girl who likes my grandson?
Two college-age couple fell off the ferry!
Mami!
Kazuya is...!
Damn, I'm barely conscious.
Am I dead?
I thought it'd work...
It's not as easy as they did in movies or manga.
I'm sorry, Grandma.
In the end I couldn't introduce you to a nice girl.
Sorry, Mizuhara. I couldn't even clean up my mess.
Sigh, I really am...
A pathetic scumbag.
Mizuhara? Did you...?
Sorry!
I'm sorry that you had to save me.
N-No.
Likewise.
There they are! We found them!
We've got them both. They're conscious.
After that,
we got scolded by the coast guards.
And everyone snapped at us.
I ended up breaking my promise with Mami.
I stayed in a nearby hospital for a day.
Mizuhara!
Thanks!
For going that far, to save me!
That's a given. I'm your girlfriend, after all.
What was that?
So you didn't break up, after all?
Ah, it's not like that.
Mizuhara is a rental girlfriend. A mature woman.
A single kiss isn't a big deal for her.
You nervous? Calm down a bit.
I'm fine, thanks.
Mizuhara!
Here he is - the hero.
You're right. Autograph, please!
Hilarious!
Aren't you guys even worried about me?
Huh? Where's Chizuru?
Oh, she said she's going home.
That's too bad.
Thanks for coming to pick me up.
Mami, about yesterday...
Of course she hates me now.
Sorry, Grandma. Another step backwards!
What are you doing there? Hurry up.
O-Okay.
Alright, go get some rest.
Don't drown in the bathtub.
Please save me if I do.
That's not funny.
See ya. Tell Chizuru I said hi.
I'm not gonna tell your grandmother about what you said and did.
So, make sure you get on well with Chizuru.
Huh? We're still deciding whether to break up or not.
Even after all that?
The problem is a lot more complicated than you think.
It hurts!
Why are you hitting me again?
What are you saying? Of course life isn't easy.
But, people aren't as complicated as you think.
You put your life on the line to save her.
If that's not love, then I don't know what is.
Get her pregnant, then she'll be stuck with you.
I don't think that will happen.
Mizuhara doesn't even have feelings for me.
Not even a speck...
Not at all! It's Mizuhara we're talking about!
Don't forget about those cold eyes of hers when she asks for payment.
Her face might be smiling, but her eyes aren't.
Hey, you're kinda freaking me out.
Mizuhara!
Move.
O-Okay.
I've already booked next week.
For a blank date.
I put the money into your post, as well.
What I'm trying to say is... Once again, I am....
Sorry.
Really? Thanks.
Even the CPR was only to protect her customer.
That's her job.
Only a fool would seriously fall for her.
Reminiscing already? That's too fast.
Seriously, can you even lay low by yourself after just two days?
Stop it, Kazuya.
This is gonna be a big one.
Oh, stop it!
No, don't!
So you're Kazuya, right?
No! no!
Kazuya, you're so helpless.
Mami...
But, if you feel like a rabbit again,
just call me again.
Mami...
Come, Kazuya!
You can rent me for just one hour every Wednesday.
Hey!
Don't talk bad about my Kazuya!
Mami...
That's a no.
If you're fine with me, I'll be here if you need me.
Kazuya!
I'm Mizuhara Chizuru, Kazuya's girlfriend.
Mami...
Seems like you do have a bit of manliness in you.
Kazuya.
If I told her this was how it all began, Mizuhara would be pissed.
But, that was when I realised.
Did I? Don't tell me...
That these feelings had passed the point of no return.
What did you do over summer break?
I gotta find a part-time job.
Chizuru.
Was that like urban legend of summer break?
That's why I'm sorry. My stomach started hurting...
Weren't you the guy from the beach?
Let's go!
What's gotten into you?
Let's just go!
What's going on with me?
I never feel like this about her before.
Stop it!
Mizuhara is just a rental girlfriend!
That's all there is to our relationship!
Did I really feel that way?
Keep your eyes on the road.
Yeah, I know.
Why are we going into the mountains?
A health retreat.
I booked a trip to a hot springs inn known for helping organ recovery.
I hear they serve pheasant, Mt. Akagi's local speciality for dinner.
Pheasant? That takes me back!
I haven't had any since I got some from a customer at the bar.
We're here in the Nashigi Inn: Gunma's hidden hot springs inn!
Free welcome drink.
You can eat up to 30 tubs of ice cream for free in the lobby.
30? That's gonna upset your stomach.
Are they not here yet?
Huh? Who're you talking about?
Ah! There you are, Sayutaso!
Sayutaso?
Ah, Nagomin.
Huh?!
Mizuhara's grandmother?!
Ms. Ichinose, it's been a long time.
Thanks for taking care of my mother in the hospital.
Likewise.
Come on, where's your greeting?
Why is Ms. Ichinose here?
Ms. Ichinose was getting better and discharged from hospital.
So we decided to go on a trip together to celebrate.
Thank you so much for inviting me.
What are you doing? You're acting strange.
Well...
I'm just wondering if that "Chi" person is here too.
"Chi"? None of our hospital buddies had a name starting with "Chi".
I see.
You're over there.
I could only get one premium Hasewo room.
So I got you another one elsewhere.
What?!
Do you want to make Ms. Ichinose sleep in a regular room?
Sorry about this, Kazuya.
Here's the key.
Let's sleep together, Sayutaso.
Of course, Nagomin.
Alright then, I'm fine with it. Just enjoy your discharge trip.
I have such an understanding grandson.
He's going.
He's going, indeed.
It's not locked.
No one's here.
Did the previous guest leave those?
Clean it up, man.
Well, I guess I can chill out more by myself.
I feel bad because the grandmothers seem to be having fun.
But, I had to tell them that we broke up for Mizuhara's sake too.
Hey, Grandma.
Do you mind helping me do my hair?
Wha--?!
What are you doing here?!
Mizuhara?!
Wait!
Mizuhara, where are you going?
Can't you tell? We've been set up.
It was our grandmothers' evil plot to put us together.
"Evil plot" is a bit too much.
It doesn't matter if our grandmothers are on good terms.
They've messed with their grandkids way too far.
I'm gonna go and complain.
I see.
Stop! You're taking the stairs.
Huh?
Right, closed elevator.
Sorry about that, Chizuru.
It's okay, Chizuru. You can have fun with Kazuya.
Please, I thought Grandma was coming. So I waited in my room.
Yeah, Grandma. This is a bit too much.
The staff have already prepared dinner and yukata.
So we can't ask them to change it now.
Isn't it fine, Chizuru? You two are lovers, right?
Even if we are lovers, sharing a room is a bit too much.
We aren't crossing that line yet.
That line?!
Mizuhara?!
What? You haven't done it yet?
I thought you already did.
You two are so reserved.
Then, now is the perfect chance.
Go all in.
It's not happening!
Now go to your room, young'uns.
Wait!
Good grief, what am I gonna do now?
If we told them we broke up now, it'd ruin the trip.
We could ask for an extra room.
But I have no money.
Stop saying that. I am also in a pinch this month.
Even though you're so expensive?
What?
Nothing.
Even though you're so expensive?
This is the worst.
I shouldn't be staying with one of my customers!
All things aside...
Mizuhara's yukata figure is incredible.
To spend the night alone with girl like this, my body won't hold...
Whatever, I'll have fun.
Huh?
My grandmother paid for this trip.
It would be a waste if I didn't enjoy it.
Such resilience.
I'm going to the hot springs.
Ah, wait.
I understand that it's hard, but I really can't keep this up.
I'm gonna tell them we broke up myself.
Okay!
Such a stingy gacha.
Chizuru?
Is this what one would call "lucky pervert"?
Our relationship is fake.
Everything is just one big lie that I created.
My feelings has no part in that.
I see, that trope only counts when it's the opposite sex?
Y-Yes.
You learn something every day.
Grandma, I feel a bit guilty...
Don't sweat it.
This is the back of my future granddaughter. I must make sure to wash this carefully.
My back isn't that grandiose.
Says the girl with these hips.
And these bountiful breasts.
You are indeed the light of Kinoshita family.
I will ensure every inch of your body is clean.
After all, he got the bad lottery from his father.
I'm sorry for my grandson.
N-No.
This trip is also a remembrance trip, you see.
Today marks the anniversary of my husband's passing.
Wait, then...
Worry not, that was many years ago.
That said, this day is always the one that makes me feel a little lonely.
But, I got out of the hospital, and made a new friend.
And I was able to bathe with you.
Thanks to you, today turned out to be wonderful.
Grandma...
What will Grandma do?
What if I were lying?
What if I were not the person you think I am?
There's no human that doesn't lie.
Even if you were an alien, I would still love you.
I give up trying to figure out about this mess.
We can't let this trip wasted!
So, cheers!
Cheers!
So delicious.
Isn't that sauce that you're drinking?
I thought it's a soup.
I drank quite a lot.
You really are an idiot.
So there are times when you can laugh normally.
As I thought, I'm probably just a nuisance.
Well, good night.
I'm fine with sleeping in front of the door or in the toilet.
You'll get nightmares if I sleep beside you.
I don't really mind.
You can sleep in this room.
When I realised it, I fell in love
I want to be your special one
But not being myself isn't right
"You are pretty as you are"
That's what you told me
But what is "as you are"? What is "me"?
The more I love you, the more I get confused about myself
Push or pull?
But, if I am being wishy-washy, someone may snatch him away from me
Hey, tell me the best answer
Maybe say it and see whatever happens
I can almost say, but can't quite say, that's my love situation
Please notice me, hey, notice me!
Why are you changing the subject?
Even if we are close to each other or look at each other
It won't reach, my feelings aren't reaching you
Aren't you too clueless?
Like a bungee jump
I am gonna tell you
Like I'm flying off a cliff
"I love you"
Grandma, there's something we must tell you.
I already knew.
What? You knew?
It was obvious.
That makes it easier, then.
You're right. Grandma, we actually...
You two have done it, haven't you?
Huh? Doing what?
Sex! S-E-X!
How wonderful, this is the best day of my life!
Now, on the next episode of Rent-a-Girlfriend:
"Girlfriend and...
Girlfriend"
Bring out the champagne!
