I'm thinking of quitting my job as a rental girlfriend.
(Ruka)
Hello?
Kazuya, wanna go on a date before our shift today?
Date?
So I figure it's time to move on.
I can't just run away from it forever.
Sure, let's go.
Kazuya!
Wow.
That girl is cute.
That's her boyfriend?
More like a chimpanzee.
I'm so happy to see you!
Didn't we see each other two days ago?
I guess you're right.
I wonder why I'm so excited to see you when we just saw each other recently?
How do I look?
Looks nice I guess.
Yay! Lavender is in trend this spring.
Now that you mention it, Mizuhara has a lavender scarf.
Sorry!
It's fine, I know you like her.
I learned, that you can't just push yourself on to the person you love.
I really want you to fall in love with me.
Ruka.
She is not a bad girl.
She's cheerful, sincere, and passionate.
It's true that she's a bit over-possessive,
but I'm sure her boyfriend will be happy.
Why can't I just fall in love with her?
Sorry.
So it's no good after all!
So I guess you do have a boyfriend.
Well, I wonder if I have a boyfriend?
To make a girl go this far...
I'll be doing everything I can on the girlfriend matters of yours.
I can't just rely on Mizuhara forever!
I have to put in the effort to fall in love!
Sorry, Ruka.
We need to talk about something.
Kazuya?
About the trial period thing,
I want to officially...
To start off, this is for you.
I can't accept that.
Take it.
Come on, if you don't take it, we can't even start having fun.
Here, put it away, okay?
How long have you known about me?
One, maybe two weeks ago?
A little birdy piqued my interest in rental girlfriends, so that's it.
You're so popular.
You're the number one among all the newbies.
What do you normally sing for karaoke?
I adjust to what the customer likes.
It would be weird to sing a song they don't know.
You're so flexible.
Then, what would you sing if you were with a guy your age?
Like Kazu?
I haven't gone to karaoke with Kazuya.
I'd probably sing songs by the peggies or halca.
The peggies are great, I love them, too!
Sing for me?
Won't you please tell me, why you called me here today?
I don't think it's because you just wanted to go to karaoke with me.
Sing for me.
What's going on here?
Why is Mami with Mizuhara?
They can't possibly know each other's contact,
did they run into each other?
Even if they did, why would they go to karaoke?
Maybe back then, she already felt something weird was up?
Don't tell me, she rent her?
Does she already know that Mizuhara is a rental girlfriend?
Kazuya?
What are you doing?
What's going on in that room?
Nothing!
Alright, let's go back to work before the manager shows up.
That was amazing, you're so good!
If Kazu never heard this before, then he's definitely missing out.
Where else have you been to with Kazu?
I can't talk about that.
Ah, is it confidential? So cool.
I'm out of ideas.
I can't focus on anything right now.
What are they talking about there? I can't even think straight right now!
I really can't accept your money.
Money? I knew it!
I don't think I'm being professional right now.
So I can't accept this payment.
What are you saying?
It's more than good enough, you're plenty cute as you are now.
In fact, I wanted to see the real you.
You did an amazing job.
You can keep up being Kazu's girlfriend for a whole year.
I completely fell for it.
So think of it as a reward and accept it.
I'm sorry for surprising you today,
but thanks to you, I finally understood what rental girlfriends are.
I don't plan to belittle your job.
But, one thing.
Could you stop this lover act already?
You see, everyone at University actually believes that lie.
I don't think I can stand to watch that.
Besides, I feel sorry for Kazu!
As long as he has a rental, he won't be able to get the real one.
You don't even love him, but you pretend to be his lover.
Kazu pays you money, just so he could brag about you as his girlfriend.
And that fake smile on your face.
I'm just a bit fed up with it.
Thank you very much.
Kazuya, what were you about to say earlier?
Sorry, Ruka.
Not right now.
She knows!
I really can't accept your money.
Money involved.
I'm just a bit fed up with it.
Mami looked angry, too.
So she rent Mizuhara because she know we were lying?
Mizuhara shouldn't get chewed out for this.
It should be me!
Mizuhara was just dating me out of pity!
I have to do something for Mizuhara!
What are you doing, Kinoshita?
Did you just throw up?
Kazuya!
I'm sorry, I don't feel so good.
Are you okay?
Do you have the flu? Go home!
Sorry, I'll go to the hospital.
Kazuya, I'll take you there.
It's fine.
I don't want you to get sick, and we can't leave work together.
Kazuya.
Sorry.
Where'd they gone?
Toward the station? They shouldn't have gotten too far!
Everything is my fault!
Could you stop this lover act already?
I'm the one who lied to everyone!
Mizuhara already decided to quit the job!
Why'd this have to happen now?
I'm sorry, Mizuhara!
I'm sorry!
There they are!
Mizuhara!
Here's good.
Sorry to surprise you today.
But a girl can rent you too, right?
Have you had any before?
No, not yet.
That's surprising, considering that there are lonely girls out there too.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to criticise your work.
I thought it'd be weird if I keep quiet about it.
Don't worry, I won't tell anyone at University.
I've said what I wanted to say, and I had fun today.
Since you're so cute, Chizuru.
Your boyfriends must be very happy.
See you, then.
Say, how do you feel?
About Kazuya?
Kazuya told me that he promised to make you happy from his heart.
That you are someone he couldn't forget so easily.
It'd just be too shallow of me to throw away that feeling so easily.
I'm really just a scumbag.
I still can't move on from pointless feelings.
I think that Kazuya still thinks about you even now.
And what about you?
How do you feel about Kazu?
What do you mean?
It's been a year, hasn't it?
You've acted as his girlfriend for a year,
does your agency know?
I'm just thinking that you fell for him while pretending to be his girlfriend.
Something like that.
...boyfriend.
Kazuya is my boyfriend.
Wow, that was a splendid way to run away.
Or that was in the manual?
I'm sure you have your reasons, and I have no intention to pry any further.
But you are a girl.
So I was just thinking that it could've happened.
You've done enough, Mizuhara.
Bye.
You have no idea how much I liked Mami!
Do you have any idea how painful it was to be dumped?!
I'm sorry, Mizuhara.
I really don't know what's wrong with me.
Wait!
Wait, please!
I still have something to say!
Please think it over about Kazuya!
Throughout my job as a rental girlfriend, I've known just how important love really is.
Finding someone to fall in love with is actually really hard to do.
Have you ever faced his feelings on you head-on?
Did you ever actually let him love you?
Did it ever cross your mind,
that this may be the person who can make you truly happy?
Butt out.
That's my and Kazu's problem.
Hey...
You're in the way.
Sorry.
Thanks.
I saw everything between Mami and you.
What?
What do you mean you saw?
I'm not a stalker!
Well, I work at that karaoke place.
You work there?
I saw both of you leave, and then...
I wanted to thank you for standing up for a coward like me.
In that case, I'm sorry.
I couldn't get you a girlfriend.
I tried everything, but...
In the end, I guess this isn't an issue I could resolve alone.
Why must you apologise?
I think that lingering feelings are in a sense, love.
Even though you're a rental, you're always thinking of me.
She's always putting my feelings first.
Have you ever faced his feelings on you head-on?
Even though, everything is my fault, why?
Did it ever cross your mind, that this may be the person who can make you truly happy?
I get it, I'm in love with Mizuhara.
I love her long black hair.
I love her snow-white legs.
She blunts at times, but she's a kind person.
She's always harsh,
but it is always of the best for others.
I know there's still a case about Ruka.
But if you still can't forget about Mami,
I think you should tell her how you feel to get closure.
I know I caused so much trouble for you, but every time I see you, I can't help it...
To think that I'd be the happiest man alive if you were my girlfriend!
Of course, I understand if you can't work up the courage immediately.
As your rental girlfriend, I'll try to help you any way I can.
It's you...
I want you!
It's you!
(Rent-a-Girlfriend)
I can't say that it's a fate
How many more centimetres 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
Every day 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 a fate
How many more centimetres 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 centimetres are you walking forward?
Because if (because if) I say that you are the one
Then, maybe I can catch up with you
Will I be able to reach out to you?
You want me?
What do you mean?
As a girlfriend, though as a rental.
I mean if I'm gonna rent, I'd want you.
It makes me really sad to know you're going to quit.
So that's what you meant?
That was very misleading.
Sorry.
Still, I'm sorry.
I started being a rental girlfriend as training for my acting.
So if I get more acting roles, I must quit.
Of course, you are!
Staying up late is bad for your skin.
Sweet dreams!
I went and said it! I told her I wanted her!
As a rental, my ass!
Did Mizuhara think I was weird?
Saying it like that makes it obvious that I want to date her for real!
I bet she just sees me as a creepy lowlife who doesn't know his place!
But seeing her pleading with Mami made my feeling burst out!
But this made it clear.
That Mizuhara is a super kind girl. She doesn't have any feelings for me.
Besides,
Mizuhara's gonna quit rental girlfriend.
When that happens,
that would be the end of us.
I don't remember setting my love life to hard mode.
What was that all about?
It's you! I want you!
Stupid.
On the day that person met me
He looks hurt and broken
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Let's walk hand in hand
There's no one who's not lonely
Just a lot of people able to hide it
If you feel like a rabbit, I'm here
Come on, move on
I can see through you
Trying to be able to move on
That's how I've been thinking when I'm with you
Even though I'm just a rental
I wish you could move on
Because we're together
I'll stay a little while longer with you
(A moment likes a jewel in diamond)
