[00:00] Kazuya
With this, we can show Granny Sayuri!
[00:04] Kazuya
She can see you shining on the screen!
[00:06] Kazuya
I'll get the funding,
[00:08] Kazuya
so star in this!
[00:10] Kazuya
Let's make a movie together!
[00:13] Chizuru
Then, please...
[00:16] Chizuru
Help me make my movie.
[00:22] Chizuru
So Grandma can see it.
[00:29] Kazuya
I'll do it!
[00:32] Kazuya
I swear I'll see it through!
[00:34] Kazuya
No matter what happens!
[00:45] Chizuru
What kind of face was I making then?
[00:52] Chizuru
Damn it, that idiot.
[01:08] Chizuru
What have I gotten myself into?
SIGN Rent-a-Girlfriend
SIGN "Home Cooking and Girlfriend"
[02:49] Teppei
I took a look at the page you created.
SIGN CAMPFIRE OPERATIONS
SIGN MUSIC MANAGER
SIGN POP CULTURE CURATOR & PLANNER
[02:52] Teppei
And to be honest with you...
[02:54] Teppei
I get the impression you think
crowdfunding is child's play.
[02:58] Kazuya
I-I most certainly do not...
[03:01] Teppei
First off, the top page has no images,
[03:03] Teppei
and your text doesn't feel very professional.
[03:06] Kazuya
The images are a work in progress...
SIGN Do you even
have this
actress's
permission?
SIGN Y-Yes,
I do!
[03:08] Teppei
Listen, Kinoshita-san.
[03:11] Teppei
In crowdfunding,
initial momentum is everything.
[03:14] Teppei
The pitch and the rewards you outline
at the start are major factors.
[03:19] Teppei
When you hear that 70% of
film-related projects reach their goal,
[03:24] Teppei
that may make it sound easy...
[03:27] Teppei
But each one is the result of the
planners working around the clock
[03:31] Teppei
to turn a dream into reality.
[03:33] Teppei
The success rate for people who don't
put in the blood, sweat, and tears
[03:37] Teppei
is zero percent.
[03:40] Teppei
We'll provide you with as
much support as we can,
SIGN This project hasn't launched yet.
SIGN Making a Movie Starring Actress Ichinose Chizuru (Upcoming)
[03:43] Teppei
but we can't allow this project
to be launched in its current state.
[03:48] Teppei
For example, let's say the
minimum pledge is 10,000 yen.
[03:51] Teppei
Would you give 10,000 yen to an
actress you know nothing about?
[03:56] Teppei
You should think long and hard about how
you'd feel if you were a prospective backer.
[04:01] Kazuya
T...
[04:02] Kazuya
Talk about laying the mental smackdown!
[04:07] Chizuru
What?!
[04:08] Chizuru
You couldn't get the project launched?
[04:11] Kazuya
He said it's not likely to succeed as it stands.
[04:14] Chizuru
I see.
[04:16] Chizuru
Well, I'm sure he was saying it for our benefit.
[04:20] Chizuru
We should follow his advice.
[04:22] Kazuya
Y-Yeah.
[04:25] Kazuya
Also, we need to talk about your name.
[04:27] Chizuru
What about it?
[04:28] Kazuya
Your stage name is "Ichinose,"
which might be kinda risky?
[04:33] Kazuya
If anyone at college recognizes you,
[04:35] Kazuya
it might make things difficult for you.
[04:37] Chizuru
It's not like they'll find out
about my rental girlfriend job.
[04:41] Chizuru
For everything else, my friends
will overlook it if I apologize.
SIGN Like, "Sorry I didn't tell you."
[04:44] Chizuru
I was prepared for this the moment
I chose to use my real name in acting.
[04:49] Chizuru
If I can act in a movie, I don't care
who talks behind my back at college.
[04:54] Kazuya
Mizuhara...
[04:56] Kazuya
Yeah, it's her dream, after all.
[05:00] Kazuya
I really can't mess this up!
[05:03] Chizuru
So, yeah, don't get too worked up about it.
[05:07] Chizuru
Because I'm expecting a lot from you,
[05:08] Chizuru
"Producer."
[05:09] Kazuya

[05:15] Chizuru
By the way, I asked my agency,
and they gave me the okay.
SIGN My manager wants
your contact info.
[05:18] Kazuya
O-Oh, that's great.
[05:20] Kazuya
Speaking of, I'd like a few photos
I can put on our top page.
SIGN S-Sure.
[05:23] Chizuru
Got it. I'll let my manager know.
[05:25] Kazuya
It's begun!
[05:27] Kazuya
Our tag team is getting to work!
[05:30] Mini
Pause right there.
[05:33] Mini
Hey, you two.
[05:34] Mini
I've been hearing you talking a lot lately.
[05:36] Mini
If you need to talk so much,
could you do it in your rooms?
[05:39] Kazuya
Th-The neighbor?
[05:41] Mini
It's hard for me to focus on work like this.
[05:44] Mini
Besides, if you're having clandestine
meetings on your balconies...
[05:48] Mini
If you're gonna be that lovey-dovey,
why don't you two just start dating?
SIGN blush
[05:53] Kazuya
Wh-Wha...
[05:54] Kazuya
Who is this girl?
[05:55] Kazuya
I'd heard 202 was unoccupied!
[05:57] Mini
Wait, are you a couple already?
[05:59] Kazuya
D-Don't be stupid! What are you saying?!
[06:01] Kazuya
I... I can't see Mizuhara's face!
[06:05] Mini
Anyway, I said my piece.
[06:07] Mini
I don't want any neighbor trouble, you know?
SIGN Clack
[06:12] Kazuya
A-Awkward!
SIGN Stiffen
SIGN She dropped a bomb before she ran off!
SIGN I can't look her in the eye now!
[06:16] Kazuya
Wh-What was that all about, huh?
[06:19] Kazuya
Me and you, a couple?
[06:21] Kazuya
When hell freezes over, right?

[06:24] Kazuya
If she knew you were just helping
me out as a rental girlfriend,
SIGN Whisper
SIGN Whisper

[06:26] Kazuya
she'd laugh her head off.
SIGN The saddest
laugh
[06:29] Kazuya
Huh? Mizu—
[06:30] Chizuru
Well, we are bothering the neighbors.
[06:33] Chizuru
We should probably lay off
the balcony meetings a little.
[06:37] Kazuya
Wha?!
SIGN Clack
SIGN Mizuhara's so nice,
she even cares
about her neighbors
[06:46] Kazuya
Just when we'd teamed up
to work on something!
[06:50] Kazuya
What the heck was that, anyway?
[06:52] Kazuya
She shows up out of nowhere and
randomly tells us to start dating?
SIGN I would
if I could!
SIGN Grr
[06:56] Kazuya
The balcony, which straddles the line
between business and private,
SIGN Get
back
here,
204!
SIGN Sanctuary
[06:59] Kazuya
is a sanctuary for us neighbors only!
[07:04] Kazuya
You've committed a grave sin,
[07:06] Kazuya
Prisoner Number 202!
SIGN stagger stagger
[07:15] Kazuya
Ugh, just thinking about it pisses me off!
[07:18] Kazuya
I'm sorry about the noise, but...
[07:20] Kazuya
What right does she have to
get between the two of us?
SIGN Movin' and Packin'
[07:24] Kazuya
Oh, yeah, I did see a moving truck
outside a couple weeks ago.
[07:28] Kazuya
Didn't seem like she knew about
the rental girlfriend thing...
[07:32] Kazuya
But still, I really don't wanna
get involved with her.
[07:35] Mini
Huh? For real?
[07:37] Mini
That's so funny!
[07:38] Minifriend
Right?
[07:39] Kazuya
What?! She's right there!
SIGN Prisoner No. 202!!
[07:46] Kazuya
But why? She goes to the same college?
[07:48] Mini
Oh, it's you!
[07:50] Kazuya
Ack! Busted!
SIGN Clearly
acting
suspicious
[07:50] Mini
You go to Nerima U, too, neighbor?
[07:53] Mini
What year?
[07:54] Kazuya
S-Second.
[07:55] Mini
So you're an upperclassman?!
[07:57] Mini
What a coincidence!
[07:59] Kazuya
Y-Yeah...
[08:02] Mini
I'm Yaemori Mini, and I'm a first-year!
[08:05] Mini
Nice to meetcha!
[08:07] Kazuya
I-I'm Kazuya...
[08:08] Kazuya
Huh, she's awfully friendly.
[08:11] Kazuya
S-Sorry about last night.
I thought you'd be mad.
[08:14] Mini
Oh, that was just me making my position clear.
[08:17] Kazuya
Huh? Wh-What?
[08:18] Mini
You gotta put your foot down when
dealing with an annoying neighbor.
[08:22] Mini
I saw it on WeTube.
[08:25] Kazuya
H-Huh... TIL.
[08:27] Mini
But that attitude won't fly
with an upperclassman!
[08:29] Mini
I'm terribly sorry for being so rude!
SIGN I'll be more respectful.
[08:32] Kazuya
Huh? Oh, don't be...
[08:33] Kazuya
She's surprisingly polite?
[08:35] Minifriend
You know him, Mini?
[08:36] Mini
Yeah.
[08:38] Mini
He's my neighbor, and...
[08:39] Kazuya
Oh, shit!
[08:40] Kazuya
If she runs her mouth...
SIGN What's up with that?
[08:42] (Flashback) Kibe
Kazu-chin!
[08:43] (Flashback) Kibe
Why's everyone in college talking about you
and this hot chick having balcony dates?
[08:47] Kazuya
Yaemori-san!
[08:49] Kazuya
Can we chat over there for a bit?
[08:50] Mini
Huh?
[08:51] Minifriend
I'll go on ahead, then.
[08:53] Mini
Oh, okay.
[08:54] Mini
What do you wanna talk about?
[09:04] Kuri
'Sup?
[09:05] Kuri
Huh? Where's Kazuya?
[09:07] Kibe
Skipping, I guess.
[09:08] Kuri
He's been going straight home lately,
even on days he's not working. Something up?
[09:12] Kibe
Yeah... He's glued to his PC 24/7 now,
even in the cafeteria during lunch.
[09:17] Kibe
With this somber look.
[09:18] Kuri
Sheesh.
[09:19] Kuri
Did he forget the sagely advice of,
"Don't look at porn in public"?
SIGN Nagomi Sake
[09:27] Mini
Keep it a secret?
[09:29] Mini
Why?
SIGN The balcony thing?
[09:31] Kazuya
Well...
[09:32] Kazuya
No way I can tell her the truth!
[09:34] Kazuya
A-Ahem.
[09:36] Kazuya
Everyone's got a lot going on in life.
SIGN Be a
grown-up...
[09:39] Kazuya
Meddling in people's relationships
when you don't know jack isn't nice.
[09:43] Mini
Oh!
SIGN She is
real pretty,
after all!
[09:44] Mini
So you do have a thing for her!
[09:47] Kazuya
Who knows? I couldn't say!
SIGN Being a
grown-up
[09:51] Mini
Fair.
[09:52] Mini
I'd be hurt if someone joked about
my special relationships, too.
[09:56] Mini
I'm sorry.
[09:58] Kazuya
I'm not sure we're talking about
the same thing here,
[10:01] Kazuya
but she gets it now, I guess?
[10:03] Mini
I have someone really important to me, too.
[10:05] Kazuya
Oh, you do? Boyfriend?
[10:08] Mini
Blowing in like the easterly winds,
Iwate's very own diva,
SIGN Niikaze Mei
[10:10] Mini
Niikaze Mei from Billion Live!
SIGN 2D (that)
SIGN 3D (this)
[10:15] Kazuya
This and that are two very different things...
[10:17] Mini
I go hard for each of my faves!
[10:19] Mini
I was stanning hard for
Hisamatsu Nozomi until recently,
[10:22] Mini
but then I changed my mind...
[10:24] Mini
I go hard each time, though!
[10:27] Kazuya
First time I meet her,
she tells us to start dating,
[10:30] Kazuya
and now she's talking about her waifus...
SIGN They're
seasonal,
too...
[10:32] Kazuya
She's so casual about it all.
[10:33] Mini
Love can be painful,
but it's got all these feels!
[10:35] Kazuya
So this is a zoomer...
SIGN To her, love is
like starting a
free trial with
a streaming service
[10:36] Mini
I watch dating reality shows as research!
SIGN We're only two
years apart,
but I feel
such a
generation gap
[10:39] Mini
Don't worry. I'm not a tattletale.
[10:43] Kazuya
But, hey, she doesn't seem like a bad girl.
SIGN I won't get in your way!
Even if it kills me!
[10:48] Kazuya
I'm worried about her...
SIGN Heaps of problems!
[10:50] Kazuya
But I gotta think about this first!
[10:52] Kazuya
How do I write text that appeals to the heart?
[10:55] Kazuya
Sure, asking someone to pledge
10,000 yen to a stranger is a tall order.
[11:00] Kazuya
Well, if we're talking about making a
beauty like Mizuhara's dream come true,
SIGN I'd gladly
put down 10K
[11:04] Kazuya
I know I would do whatever I could.
SIGN Any sense of
objectivity is long gone
[11:07] Kazuya
Looking at other project pages,
[11:08] Kazuya
people talk about their dreams,
and what led them to crowdfunding...
[11:12] Kazuya
Which brings us to...
[11:14] Kazuya
Talking about her grandma.
[11:17] Kazuya
But I can't do that without Mizuhara's
permission, and I have no way to ask her.
[11:24] Kazuya
It's hard to call her out
to the balcony now, too...
[11:29] Kazuya
Oh, come on!
[11:30] Kazuya
Who is it this late at night?
SIGN now
SIGN Ichinose Chizuru
Can I come over now?
[11:35] Kazuya
Huh?
SIGN The future is now.
SIGN Just now
SIGN Ichinose Chizuru
Can I come over now?
[11:43] Kazuya
W-Wait...
SIGN Dart
SIGN Dart
SIGN Just now
SIGN Ichinose Chizuru
Can I come over now?
[11:47] Kazuya
Huh? What's going on?
[11:49] Kazuya
Come over? Over where?
SIGN If she's sent me
a message on LIVE,
she can't be outside
right now, at least...
[11:51] Kazuya
My place, right? My place!
SIGN Kinoshita
[11:53] Kazuya
2-0-3! This apartment!
SIGN Kinoshita
SIGN Kinoshita
[11:55] Kazuya
For what?
[11:57] Kazuya
It's gotta be about the movie, right?
[11:58] Kazuya
For five minutes? An hour?
[12:00] Kazuya
I have no idea!
[12:01] Kazuya
Anyway, she's coming!
[12:04] Kazuya
Mizuhara's coming to my apartment!
[12:06] Kazuya
Gah! Gotta clean up!
SIGN Rustle Rustle
[12:08] Kazuya
This place is basically a dump!

SIGN G3

[12:15] Kazuya

but those were purely accidental.
SIGN Taking care
of drunkard
[12:21] Kazuya
This time, she's coming over of her own will!
[12:24] Chizuru
I have my reasons,
but mostly I just wanted to see you.
SIGN Yeah, no,
not happening
[12:28] Kazuya
Yikes, I didn't reply to her!
[12:31] Kazuya
Would an emoji be too casual and weird?
SIGN Tremble Tremble
SIGN Would an emoji
be too casual
and weird?!
SIGN But not using
one would
seem so curt!
[12:34] Kazuya
But not using one would seem so curt!
SIGN Sure!
SIGN Read
SIGN We
have
a

[12:46] Kazuya
Sigh... I can't take it.
[12:49] Kazuya
I love her.

Evening.

[13:23] Chizuru
What, you're not gonna let me in?
[13:25] Kazuya
O-Oh, sorry.
[13:27] Kazuya
Sorry... it's kind of a mess.
[13:30] Kazuya
It's cleaner than this, usually.
[13:32] Kazuya
I just didn't have time...
[13:36] Chizuru
Sorry to show up so late.
[13:38] Chizuru
I wanted to talk earlier,
but I was busy all afternoon.
[13:42] Chizuru
Am I being a bother?
[13:44] Kazuya
N-Not at all!
SIGN Will she or
won't she sit
[13:50] Kazuya
Oof... I have no idea how to deal with her!
[13:55] Chizuru
Don't get the wrong idea!
[13:58] Chizuru
I'm not here to get lovey-dovey with you!
[14:01] Chizuru
I'm just here 'cause you say
you'll make a movie for me,
[14:04] Chizuru
and I'd feel bad doing nothing!
[14:07] Kazuya
I get it, I get it!
[14:09] Kazuya
Calm down!
[14:10] Mini
If you're gonna be that lovey-dovey,
why don't you two just start dating?
[14:11] Kazuya
Oh, she's talking about that.
SIGN Forgot about it
due to Mizuhara's visit
[14:14] Chizuru
We hadn't finished talking about
the crowdfunding project, either,
[14:17] Chizuru
and I thought we'd better
make some progress, and soon.
[14:20] Chizuru
And that girl's got a point, too.
Talking on the balcony would be a nuisance,
[14:26] Chizuru
and we can't very well spend money at
a diner when we're trying to raise funds.
[14:32] Chizuru
Let's begin our meeting, shall we?
[14:36] Kazuya
Mizuhara...
[14:38] Kazuya
Yeah, what was I thinking?
[14:41] Kazuya
Being in my apartment all alone with me...
It's a sign of her trust above all else!
[14:46] (Flashback) Sayuri
Please be there for Chizuru.
[14:50] Kazuya
I can't let them down...
[14:52] Kazuya
I can't let either of them down!
[14:55] Kazuya
First, for the funding goal...
[14:57] Kazuya
I'm thinking we should drop
it to 1.82 million yen.
[15:00] Chizuru
1.82 million? Is that enough?
SIGN To make a movie?
[15:04] Kazuya
I did some research, and...
[15:06] Kazuya
Realistically, we should aim for a
movie length of 60 to 90 minutes.
[15:13] Kazuya
Assuming we shoot for a week,
[15:16] Kazuya
renting cameras, mics, and lighting
equipment will cost 350,000 yen.
[15:21] Kazuya
A van to transport it all will cost
40,000 yen a day, times seven for...
[15:25] Kazuya
280,000 for a week.
[15:27] Kazuya
With other miscellaneous costs,
it adds up to 780,000 yen.
[15:31] Kazuya
Dunno where we'll get a screenplay,
but I'm budgeting 150,000 yen for it.
[15:34] Kazuya
A guy in our college's film club says
he'll write the script for 100,000 yen.
[15:38] Kazuya
Pay for the actors will be around 420,000 yen.
[15:42] Kazuya
Even if we take a spontaneous
approach to filming,
[15:44] Kazuya
I think we'll have to spend at least
50,000 yen for location fees.
[15:48] Kazuya
And if we hire additional staff,
that's 170,000 yen.
[15:51] Kazuya
Renting editing equipment and hiring
someone for it will take 100,000 yen.
[15:55] Kazuya
Add 50,000 yen for location scouting
and any unforeseen issues...
[15:59] Kazuya
And I think 1.82 million in total
will give us enough to work with.
[16:03] (Flashback) Katsuhito
If you wish for it...
[16:06] (Flashback) Katsuhito
your dream... will...
[16:12] (Flashback) Katsuhito
come true...
[16:16] Kazuya
And in these docs...
SIGN Flinch
[16:19] Kazuya
Uh, Mizuhara? Something wrong?
[16:22] Chizuru
No, nothing.
[16:26] Kazuya
If you say so.
[16:28] Kazuya
Anyway, look at this.
[16:38] Kazuya
That's more or less what the
1.82 million will be used on.
[16:40] Chizuru
I see. That explains the figure.
[16:44] Kazuya
I'd like to cut more costs if we could...
[16:47] Chizuru
Well, we don't want it to be too amateurish,
so I think it's a fair budget.
[16:49] Kazuya
Ugh, I can't!
[16:52] Kazuya
I can't focus at all!
SIGN Please tell me
she can't hear
my beating heart...!?
[16:55] Kazuya
I'm starting to hate myself even more!
[16:58] Kazuya
She's here for a proper meeting,
and look at me...
[17:02] Kazuya
But...
SIGN Modest
yet womanly
long skirt
[17:04] Kazuya
Any guy would be the same!
SIGN Casual white tee
that emphasizes
her figure
[17:06] Kazuya
I've fantasized about this so many times!
SIGN Girls who look good
in a quick ponytail
are the real deal
[17:08] Kazuya
This whole situation, being alone
with Mizuhara in my apartment!
SIGN Natural makeup?
Or none
[17:14] Kazuya
Wait, why? Why did you just look at my fish?
[17:16] Kazuya
Do you have an interest in fish?
You wanna talk about them?
SIGN You
don't,
right!?
[17:19] Kazuya
Why do I feel so, like, naked in front of her?
SIGN My heart won't stop pounding!!
SIGN With my private parts exposed!
[17:22] Kazuya
I can't stop thinking about her movement!
[17:25] Chizuru
Huh...
[17:26] Chizuru
So this is where you set up the tiers?
[17:29] Kazuya
Gah! I just can't!
[17:32] Kazuya
We stick closer on our rental dates,
SIGN Were they always so big!?
[17:35] Kazuya
but in this private space,
I keep focusing on them!
SIGN W

[17:39] Kazuya
Her clothes smell of detergent for a change...
[17:42] Kazuya
And she's only got lip cream on...
[17:43] Chizuru
This all seems like a lot of work.
SIGN A cute voice,
almost like Amamiya Sora's
[17:45] Kazuya
She's stimulating all five of my senses!
SIGN Does she even realize it!?
[17:48] Kazuya
She's a WMD!
[17:50] Kazuya
A Weapon of Male Destruction!
[17:53] Kazuya
This isn't a meeting! It's a date!
[17:56] Chizuru
Are you listening?
[17:57] Kazuma
Huh?!
[17:58] Chizuru
I just sent you the photo you asked for.
SIGN For the top page
[18:01] Kazuya
C-Cool. Thanks.
SIGN Ichinose Chizuru
[18:03] Kazuya
Cute!
SIGN What's this?
I seem to have received
a photo of an angel?
SIGN Total:
[18:06] Chizuru
Is that all for the budget?
[18:08] Kazuya
Yeah, but there's a lot still up in the air.
[18:12] Kazuya
Like your pay.
[18:14] Chizuru
I don't need any.
This whole movie's for me, after all.
[18:18] Kazuya
Th-That won't do!
[18:21] Kazuya
I told you. "I'll get the funding, so star in this!"
[18:24] Kazuya
I made an offer to you, an actress!
[18:28] Kazuya
Let's not forget that.
[18:31] Kazuya
Or else it'll all fall apart.
[18:36] (Flashback) Kazuya
Please, Mizuhara, I beg of you!
[18:41] Chizuru
Well, it's all hypothetical until we
actually secure that funding.
SIGN Don't have a heart attack
while you're alone with her
[18:44] Chizuru
We can talk about it once we do.
[18:45] Kazuya
Y-Yeah.
[18:47] Chizuru
What's this about "rewards"?
[18:50] Kazuya
Backers receive rewards for
their support, based on the tier.
SIGN Kinda like a thank-you gift
[18:54] Kazuya
And making them desirable is vital.
[18:58] Chizuru
So that's the key to success, huh?
[19:01] Chizuru
I guess that makes sense.
[19:03] Chizuru
We're asking people to cough up
10,000 yen for a total rando's movie.
SIGN I sure wouldn't do it
[19:07] Kazuya
There's something I'd rather
not talk about, but I will.
[19:11] Kazuya
I think it's best we talked about you
and Granny Sayuri on the project page.
[19:19] Chizuru
I see...
[19:22] Chizuru
Let's go with that, then.
[19:25] Chizuru
I'll tell Grandma myself.
[19:27] Kazuya
You're okay with that?
[19:28] Chizuru
Is that surprising?
[19:29] Kazuya
W-Well...
[19:31] Kazuya
I figured you wouldn't want to
come off as having a sob story.
[19:36] Chizuru
I'm having you make a whole movie for me.
[19:38] Chizuru
It wouldn't be fair if I sat here
and no-no'd this and that.
[19:42] Chizuru
All I care about is my dream coming true.
I won't ask for anything else.
[19:47] Kazuya
Mizuhara...
[19:51] Kazuya
Argh! Why now?!
[19:54] Chizuru
What, you haven't had dinner?
[19:56] Kazuya
Oh... I dunno.
[19:57] Kazuya
I was so focused on work, I forgot...
[20:04] Chizuru
Can I take a look in your fridge?
[20:08] Chizuru
I'll make you something to eat.
[20:14] Kazuya
M-Make me something?
No way... She's cooking dinner for me?!
[20:19] Kazuya
M-Mizuhara's... home cooking?!
[20:23] Chizuru
What is with your fridge?
[20:25] Chizuru
There's nothing in it!
[20:27] Chizuru
I can't cook anything with this.
SIGN Stupid Stupid
SIGN I'm such

[20:47] Chizuru
Let me go see what's in my fridge.
SIGN Crack
[20:53] Chizuru
Here you go.
[20:56] Chizuru
I can't promise it's good.
SIGN Broooooooo!!
SIGN Time saver recipe
[20:58] Kazuya
Om... Omelet rice!
[21:03] Chizuru
Don't get the wrong idea.
I don't mean anything by this.
SIGN It doesn't look
like you're having
any proper meals
[21:06] Chizuru
It's just, I'd feel responsible if you
got sick because you're not eating right.
[21:10] Kazuya
Mizuhara's home cooking...
out of concern for my well-being...
SIGN Ba-dump
SIGN Ba-dump
[21:13] Kazuya
You idiot! Who cries over that?!
[21:16] Kazuya
Can I eat it?
[21:18] Chizuru
What else would you do with it?
[21:20] Chizuru
I just made it with what I had
on hand, so don't expect much.
SIGN It'd be
better with it...
[21:23] Chizuru
I was out of whipping cream, too.
SIGN Eyes

Molester
[21:30] Kazuya
So good!
[21:32] Kazuya
She's a damn three-star chef!
SIGN Fluffy and melty
[21:35] Kazuya
It's the best omelet rice I've ever had!
[21:38] Kazuya
What kind of life does one have
to lead to be so overpowered?!
SIGN Chomp
SIGN Chomp
[21:50] Chizuru
Come on.
SIGN Chomp
[21:54] Chizuru
At least tell me what you think.
[21:59] Kazuya
It's great! Super great!
[22:01] Chizuru
That so? Thanks.
SIGN Now I feel like
I made you say it
[22:03] Kazuya
Man, I wanna keep eating this forever.
SIGN Oh, no...
SIGN There's only this
much left...
[22:07] Chizuru
Well, it's getting late. I should go.
SIGN Leave the
dishes by my
door or something
[22:10] Kazuya
Oh... Sure.
[22:11] Kazuya
H-Hey...
[22:14] Kazuya
Thanks for being so thoughtful.
[22:16] Kazuya
You helped decide a lot.
[22:18] Kazuya
You're a lifesaver.
[22:20] Chizuru
Don't be silly.
[22:21] Chizuru
I won't make you do everything by yourself.
[22:23] Chizuru
Anyway, I'll leave the rest to you.
[22:26] Kazuya
Sure.
[22:26] Kazuya
I think I can pitch in with my savings, too.
[22:29] Kazuya
Just gotta get the rest from somewhere.
[22:32] Chizuru
Wait, savings?!
[22:34] Chizuru
You're going to back this thing?
Why go that far?
[22:37] Chizuru
Don't!
[22:39] Kazuya
But we should use everything we can...
[22:41] Chizuru
Be reasonable.
[22:43] Chizuru
I'm already putting so much on your shoulders.
[22:45] Chizuru
And besides, I've got nothing to invest.
[22:49] Chizuru
I'm barely scraping by.
[22:52] Kazuya
Don't get the wrong idea!
[22:54] Kazuya
This isn't for your dream.
[22:58] Kazuya
It's mine.
[23:01] Kazuya
I'm free to spend my money
chasing my dream, aren't I?
[23:07] Kazuya
That said, I've only got 100,000 to use.
SIGN Two broke
students
[23:12] Chizuru
Fine.
[23:14] Chizuru
But don't push yourself.
[23:17] Kazuya
Okay.

If something comes up,
contact me and I'll respond.
[23:21] Kazuya
Huh? A-Are you sure?
[23:23] Chizuru
Of course. This is work.
[23:26] Chizuru
Anyway, see you.
[23:30] Kazuya
It's changing, little by little...
[23:33] Kazuya
Our relationship is changing.

T-T-Together? No, it's not like that!
SIGN We aren't
[00:16] Ruka
You think you can talk your way out of this?
[00:19] Ruka
You just exited the apartment together!
[00:21] Ruka
How can you say you're not together?!
[00:22] Kazuya
Wait... Th-They're touching me!
[00:24] Kazuya
Actually, why are you even here?
[00:26] Ruka
I messaged you this morning saying
I'd come return the manga I borrowed!
[00:29] Kazuya
Crap, I completely forgot!
[00:31] Chizuru
Wait, Ruka-chan, listen to me...
[00:33] Ruka
You keep quiet, Chizuru-san.
[00:34] Ruka
I thought your grandmother's situation
must've gotten you down!
[00:38] Ruka
That's why I even suggested a truce!
[00:41] Ruka
So what are you playing at here?!
[00:44] Ruka
You're perfectly fine, you horny thot!
SIGN Thief
SIGN What's
that
mean?
[00:48] Chizuru
Wha?!
[00:48] Ruka
You don't seem to get it,
so let me spell it out for you.
[00:52] Ruka
You're a rental girlfriend
employed by an agency!
[00:57] Ruka
Engaging with customers in private is banned,
[00:59] Ruka
much less getting into a relationship!
[01:03] Chizuru
Th-That goes the same for you.
[01:06] Ruka
Not anymore! I quit!
SIGN Half a year ago
[01:08] Ruka
Look at you, stealing my boyfriend.
[01:11] Ruka
Some "professional" you are!
[01:13] Chizuru
Look, I can explain.
[01:15] Ruka
Give it a rest already!
[01:17] Ruka
How can you possibly explain entering
Kazuya-kun's apartment without telling me?!
[01:22] Ruka
I've had it up to here!
[01:24] Ruka
You're full of lies!
[01:26] Ruka
The two of you, alone...
[01:27] Kazuya
Wait, Ruka-chan!
[01:35] Kazuya
Yikes! She's gonna lose it for real!
[01:46] Kazuya
Ruka-chan!
[01:57] Kazuya
God, this is getting out of control!
[01:59] Kazuya
She's totally got the wrong idea.
[02:01] Kazuya
But I can't go blabbering
about the movie to her.
[02:05] Kazuya
For crying out... What do I do?
[02:11] Chizuru
Fine, Ruka-chan.

M-Movie?
SIGN "Girlfriend Next Door"
[04:26] Chizuru
Yes, Kazuya-san suggested
making a movie for my grandma.
[04:32] Chizuru
We had a meeting about it.
[04:34] Chizuru
Talking on the balcony bothers the neighbors,
and a restaurant would cost money.
[04:37] Chizuru
Nothing like what you're thinking happened.
SIGN Crowdfunding...
[04:42] Ruka
What about the omelet rice?
[04:43] Chizuru
That was just... well, food.
[04:47] Chizuru
He's been overworking himself
and looked pretty worn out.
[04:50] Chizuru
I'd feel bad if he ended up
malnourished or something.
[04:55] Chizuru
But, yeah, that was probably out of line.
[04:57] Chizuru
I won't do it again. I promise.
[04:59] Kazuya
What? You won't?
[05:05] Kazuya
Sorry, Ruka-chan!
[05:07] Kazuya
I didn't wanna stress you
out again by telling you!
[05:12] Kazuya
I seriously respect Mizuhara as an actress.
[05:15] Kazuya
And when I think about her sick grandma,
[05:17] Kazuya
I feel like there's not a second to waste.
[05:19] Kazuya
I just have to do this for them,
no matter what!
[05:28] Ruka
I understand.
[05:29] Kazuya
Ruka-chan!
[05:31] Chizuru
That's great.
[05:32] Chizuru
Thank you.
[05:35] Kazuya

Don't waste your breath.
[05:48] Kazuya
Wha—
[05:48] Ruka
Either I'm in, or as your girlfriend,
I'm not letting you two make a movie.
[05:54] Chizuru
I'll admit starting this
without telling you was wrong,
[05:56] Chizuru
but there's really nothing going on between us.
[05:59] Ruka
I have my doubts about your relationship.
SIGN Clandestine
meetings...
How dirty
[06:02] Ruka
You did meet up in here tonight and all.
[06:05] Kazuya
Again, that was...
[06:07] Ruka
Making a movie for her grandmother.
I understand that.
[06:10] Ruka
It shows how kind you are, Kazuya-kun,
and I'm not gonna stop you there.
[06:16] Ruka
However, I won't be able to stomach it
if you two continue to have alone time.
[06:22] Ruka
If this really was a meeting,
then it was for the movie,
[06:25] Ruka
and not so you two could
be alone together, right?
[06:27] Ruka
If I'm involved, I get to spend
more time with Kazuya-kun.
[06:32] Ruka
And you get extra help,
so we all benefit, right?
[06:33] Ruka
Or are you saying that I'd be in your way?
[06:37] Kazuya
N-No holes in her logic...
SIGN What do we do?
[06:41] Chizuru
She's got a point.
[06:42] Chizuru
It's clear we'll need all the help we can get.
[06:46] Kazuya
So calm...
[06:47] Chizuru
Well?
[06:49] Chizuru
You're the producer.
[06:56] Kazuya
Yeah, true.
[06:58] Chizuru
Then it's decided.
[07:00] Chizuru
Let's try to avoid any more disagreements.
[07:04] Ruka
There's one more thing I'd like to confirm.
[07:08] Chizuru
Sure, get it out of the way while we're here.
[07:11] Ruka
Between Chizuru-san's
omelet rice and my curry...
[07:15] Ruka
Which one did you like better?
[07:17] Kazuya
What?
[07:18] Chizuru
Huh?
SIGN Curry...
[07:19] Chizuru
Ruka-chan, is this really the time?
[07:21] Ruka
I can't stop thinking about it!
SIGN I poured my soul
into it, too
[07:23] Ruka
Be honest with me!
[07:25] Kazuya
Wait, wait, wait, honest?
[07:27] Kazuya
There's no right answer here!
SIGN I can't please
both sides!
[07:29] Kazuya
What kind of cruel inquisition is this?!
SIGN The classic
"pick her or me"?!
Torture!
SIGN IQ rises to 300 in these moments
[07:33] Kazuya
If I say the curry was better,
[07:35] Kazuya
I'll be trampling all over Mizuhara's goodwill!
SIGN What is this?!
Why can't we just say
they were both great?!
[07:38] Kazuya

Ruka-chan might snap again
[07:41] Kazuya
and veto the whole movie project!

Mizuhara!

She's looking at me like a saint!
[08:09] Chizuru
Okay, I'm heading back.

Oh, okay.

[08:14] Ruka
Oh, I'll stay a while.
SIGN Huh? You will?
[08:16] Chizuru
Really? How lovey-dovey.

SIGN What is this convo?
SIGN I'm sweating buckets
[08:23] Chizuru
Bye.
[08:24] Ruka

[08:27] Kazuya

How could she tell?

[10:20] Sayuri
When?
[10:21] Chizuru
Back when I got my boyfriend...
What did you think?
[10:28] Sayuri
Honestly, I was worried.
[10:31] Sayuri
You'd never brought a boy to see me, after all.
[10:36] Sayuri
I wondered if he was a decent person.
SIGN Him...?
[10:40] Chizuru
Well, is he decent?
SIGN Him
[10:46] Sayuri
People provide for one another through life.
[10:52] Sayuri

[10:55] Sayuri
That's why we all have the people around
us provide whatever we're lacking.

You are a very charming woman.
I can say that with zero bias.
[11:08] Sayuri
You're pretty, down-to-earth, hard-working,
[11:12] Sayuri
elegant, and kind.
[11:14] Sayuri
As your grandmother, I'm proud
of the person you've become.
[11:18] Chizuru
Wh-Where'd that come from?
[11:20] Sayuri
Kazuya-kun isn't perfect, either.
[11:23] Sayuri
He has his failings, weaknesses,
and imperfections... plenty of them.
[11:31] Sayuri
But nobody in this world is a
better match for you than him.

I'm thinking of making it public right away.
[12:05] Chizuru
Oh. Sure, go ahead.

Grandma gave her permission, too.
[12:12] Chizuru
We can write all about her.

She's being kind of distant?

[13:15] Chizuru
Morning.
[13:16] Kazuya
M-Morning.
[13:18] Kazuya
Did you see?
[13:20] Kazuya
The crowdfunding page.
[13:22] Kazuya
We got 120 grand in one night.
And it's still going up.
[13:25] Chizuru
R-Really?
[13:26] Kazuya
Yeah, yeah.
[13:27] Kazuya
Cute...
[13:28] Kazuya
People showed up in droves as soon as
we went live and pledged, like, 10,000.
[13:33] Kazuya
It's so great!
[13:34] Kazuya
We're already at 33 backers.

At this rate, we'll hit

SIGN Bothering the

[13:45] Chizuru
Ahem. Anyway, we can't be too optimistic.
[13:48] Chizuru
We don't even have a script yet.
[13:51] Chizuru
There's so much to do
before we finish the movie.
[13:56] Kazuya
Cool as a cucumber.
[13:57] Chizuru
But I'll help out any way I can,
so let me know.
[14:02] Kazuya
She's absolutely right.
[14:04] Kazuya
A little prep work couldn't hurt.
[14:07] Kazuya
A script, huh? Gotta look for one.
[14:10] Kazuya
But... we're making progress.
[14:13] Kazuya
One step at a time, but genuine progress!
[14:17] Ruka
A script, huh?
[14:19] Kazuya
Yeah...
[14:20] Kazuya
We can't go to a professional with our budget.
[14:23] Kazuya
Add in that we need something that's
not too well-known, and it gets harder.
[14:27] Ruka
I can link you a webnovel site I visit a lot.
SIGN Not much time, either
[14:31] Ruka
It's mostly YA, and there's tons of

[14:50] Kazuya
Hey, uh, sorry about the movie thing.
[14:54] Kazuya
I'm grateful.
[14:57] Ruka
Well, as your girlfriend, I'm not a fan.
[14:59] Ruka
But I don't wanna go against your wishes.
[15:04] Ruka
And I understand the situation
with Chizuru-san's grandmother.
[15:07] Ruka
And most of all, Kazuya-kun...
[15:10] Ruka
I love that blind,
single-minded passion you have.
[15:17] Ruka
Just thinking that I'm the
girlfriend of someone like that...
[15:20] Ruka

[16:21] Mini
Sorry! I should've made myself clear!
[16:23] Mini
I let my emotions get the

[16:26] Mini
People often tell me I'm too easy,
[16:29] Mini
but I don't see you that way. Not one bit.
[16:32] Kazuya
That's weirdly rude.
[16:32] Mini
I've been thinking about some stuff,
[16:34] Mini
and when I heard you leave your apartment,
I dragged you in on impulse.
[16:38] Kazuya
Thinking? About what?
[16:41] Mini
Oh...
[16:42] Mini
This.
[16:43] Ruka
You're a rental girlfriend
employed by an agency!
[16:49] Kazuya
D'oh! This is bad!
[16:51] Mini
What a surprise.
[16:51] Ruka
Look at you, stealing my boyfriend.
[16:54] Mini
I'd heard of rental girlfriends before,
[16:54] Ruka
Some "professional" you are!
SIGN Well,
she is hot...
[16:57] Mini
but I didn't expect my
next-next-door neighbor to be one.
[17:01] Mini
With such a hottie living next door,
[17:02] Kazuya
It's over.
[17:03] Kazuya
We're done for. She knows.
She knows everything!
[17:03] Mini
I can see why your girlfriend is worried.
[17:06] Kazuya
D-Delete that!
[17:07] Mini
Oh, sorry.
[17:09] Mini
It's already been backed up to cloud storage.
[17:12] Kazuya
Why?
[17:13] Kazuya
Why take a video like that?
What's her endgame?
[17:16] Mini
What a mess, though.
[17:16] Kazuya
Blackmail? Does she want money?
[17:18] Mini
I've never even seen
anything like this on WeTube.
[17:18] Kazuya
Getting back at her stupid neighbors?
[17:20] Kazuya
Plus, she goes to our college!
[17:21] Mini
Girls get real wild these days, huh?
[17:23] Kazuya
If I wanna protect Mizuhara,
I gotta give her whatever she wants!
[17:27] Kazuya
Sorry!
[17:28] Kazuya
I'll tell you everything,
so let me off the hook!
[17:34] Kazuya
That's the gist of it.

[19:38] Mini
Sorry for talking by the door.
[19:40] Kazuya
Huh?!

[19:53] Mini
I'm a cosplayer and streamer,

[20:42] Mini
but she's so tolerant, she takes it all
in stride! Talk about a bruh moment!

doesn't feel anything for me.

[21:27] Kazuya
Does she actually respect me at all?
[21:30] Mini
She's hanging out with a problem
customer, despite all the risks.
[21:34] Mini
No way she doesn't have some feelings for you.
[21:38] Kazuya
Feelings? Mizuhara has feelings for me?
[21:40] Chizuru
My return date has long passed, too...
[21:43] Kazuya
No, there's no way!
Not Mizuhara, of all people!
[21:45] Mini
Ah... Well...
[21:47] Mini
Sounds like the kinda thing someone
with a virgin mentality would think.
[21:51] Kazuya
Huh? How can she tell?!
[21:53] Mini
I bet she's lying on her bed right now, going,
[21:56] Mini
"Why can't I be honest with him?
I hate myself," or something!
[22:00] Chizuru
Why can't I be honest with him? I hate myself!
[22:03] Kazuya
Th-That's so cute!

won't quit
[07:01] Kazuya
But the actual crowdfunding
project isn't doing too hot.
[07:04] Mini
Maybe I can help with that.
[07:07] Mini
I have experience running
a crowdfunding project.
[07:10] Kazuya
Excuse me?!
[07:12] Mini
In my last summer of high school, me and
my cosplay pals crowdfunded an IRL event.
[07:17] Kazuya
She's done this?
[07:19] Kazuya
C-Could you take a look at this?
[07:20] Mini
Heh, you're like a baby, Master.
[07:24] Mini
This calls for a selfie.
SIGN The moment
we teamed up
[07:27] Mini
Ah...
[07:28] Mini
Letting up after the first week's support
looks good? That's a rookie mistake.
SIGN Takes
me back
[07:33] Kazuya
So, what do I do?
[07:34] Mini
Hmm... Well...
[07:36] Mini
I have no idea.
[07:38] Mini
Crowdfunding is all about
attracting attention.
[07:41] Mini
It's an all-out war between projects.
[07:43] Mini
This isn't something you can fix
with a couple of cheap tricks.
[07:46] Mini
You need intricate planning
and a proper strategy.
[07:49] Kazuya
I-I see...
[07:50] Kazuya
So logical, coming from her.
[07:52] Mini
Send me your URL and screenshots
of your analytics page.
[07:56] Mini
I'll analyze them back at my place.
[07:58] Kazuya
G-Gotcha.
[08:02] Kazuya
Yaemori-san?!
[08:04] Mini
You wanna make this movie project
a success, no matter what, right?
[08:07] Kazuya
O-Of course I do.
[08:09] Mini
Then there's something I need from you!
[08:15] Mini
We're having a strategy meeting.
[08:20] Ruka
Kazuya-kun?
SIGN Rumble
[08:22] Ruka
Explain this! What's going on here?!
[08:24] Ruka
Did something happen behind my back again?!
[08:26] Kazuya
No...
[08:26] Ruka
I came here because you said
you wanted to discuss the movie...
SIGN 'Gram Glam
[08:29] Ruka
but who is she?!
SIGN Yet another
new girl
[08:31] Kazuya
She's just my neighbor.
[08:33] Kazuya
This meeting's only about the movie.
[08:35] Ruka
Why is "just your neighbor"
in your apartment?!
[08:38] Ruka
And why does she know about the movie?
That makes no sense!
[08:42] Mini
Relax, Miss Girlfriend.
[08:45] Mini
There's nothing between Master and me.
[08:47] Ruka
Master?!
[08:49] Ruka
What's this "Master" stuff now?!
[08:50] Kazuya
She just calls me that for some reason.
[08:52] Mini
Yup, absolutely nothing.
[08:55] Mini
I just worship his way of life.
SIGN Beaming
[08:57] Ruka
You're admitting you really like him!
[08:59] Ruka
What is going on?!
[09:01] Ruka
I'm the girlfriend!
[09:01] Chizuru
What is she doing here?
SIGN nag nag
complain complain
[09:02] Ruka
Get any closer to him, and you'll pay!
[09:03] Kazuya
She saw the whole thing
with Ruka-chan the other night.
[09:05] Mini
I know, I know. No objections from me.
SIGN We attend
the same college...
[09:05] Chizuru
What? That's bad news!
[09:07] Kazuya
Nah, she's cool.
[09:07] Ruka
Okay, then move out.
[09:08] Mini
Yeah, I'm afraid I can't do that.
[09:09] Kazuya
The thing is, the crowdfunding
project has hit a slump.
[09:09] Ruka
Why?!
[09:13] Mini
I know that you want to
get the facts straight,
[09:16] Mini
but now's no time for us to be arguing!
[09:18] Mini
Everyone here has the same goal—
to make this movie a success.
[09:22] Mini
Am I wrong?
[09:23] Kazuya
Again, how calm and composed...
coming from her.
[09:25] Mini
First off, the project page Master designed.
[09:28] Mini
It's really well made.
[09:31] Mini
It's clear that you and your agent
worked hard revising it.
[09:34] Kazuya
Th-Thanks.
[09:35] Mini
But there's a serious lack of progress
reports and updates after launch.
[09:40] Mini
To be honest, Master, this is on you.
SIGN Page Views
[09:43] Mini
You got carried away after the first wave.
[09:45] Mini
It shows in the analytics—
your daily viewcounts,
[09:49] Mini
and the backer cancellation graphs.
[09:52] Kazuya
This girl's amazing.
[09:53] Mini
The other issue is your rewards.
[09:55] Chizuru
The rewards?
SIGN 500 yen

[10:00] Mini
names in the credits, and thank-you
messages. All very nice and classy.
[10:05] Mini
But...
[10:06] Mini
Being classy counts for nothing
if you don't get your funding.
[10:09] Mini
This campaign is all or nothing.
[10:13] Mini
If you're so much as a single
yen below your goal,
[10:16] Mini
you won't get a single yen from it.
[10:18] Mini
We can't be concerned with appearances here.
[10:21] Mini
We need to add more tiers and
offer other rewards to backers.
[10:24] Chizuru
Such as?
[10:25] Mini
Personal possessions of Mizuhara-san's.
[10:27] Kazuya
P-Personal?!
[10:29] Mini
Like clothing and shoes
she wears in the movie,
[10:32] Mini
signed copies of the script, and other
everyday stuff she could do without.
SIGN Flea market style
[10:35] Kazuya
Whoa...
[10:35] Mini
A lot of film-related projects do this stuff.
[10:37] Kazuya
Whoa, whoa!
[10:37] Mini
And, I mean, Mizuhara-san's
a beautiful woman.
[10:39] Mini
A lot of the backers will be fans of
Ichinose Chizuru the actress.
SIGN She's our poster girl
[10:43] Mini
I think we can expect some of them
to double- or triple-dip.
[10:45] Kazuya
H-Her personal stuff...
SIGN Give ME those
[10:47] Chizuru
I guess I don't need this anymore.
SIGN It's not gonna be
freshly worn, come on
[10:49] Kazuya
B-But that's going too—
[10:51] Chizuru
All right.
[10:52] Chizuru
I'll see what I can offer.
[10:55] Mini
Wow. Respect.
[10:57] Mini
Lastly, grassroots promotion
is super important, too.
SIGN Personalized for you
SIGN Staff Recommendations
[11:01] Mini
Getting on the site's recommended
page will have a huge effect.
[11:06] Mini
Mizuhara-san, I bet you know a lot of actors,
[11:09] Mini
so ask them to spread
the word on social media.
[11:12] Mini
We should also start passing out fliers
around train stations as soon as tomorrow.
[11:16] Chizuru
Fliers...
[11:18] Mini
That's all for our strategy!
[11:20] Mini
I'll write a progress update post
and put it up on the project page.
[11:24] Mini
Master, you convince the agent rep to have
our project listed in the recommendations.
[11:28] Mini
Mizuhara-san, you look for belongings you can
give away, and get help from your friends.
[11:32] Mini
Girlfriend, I'd like you to design
the fliers we'll pass out.
[11:36] Mini
We all need to spread the word to our friends
[11:39] Mini
and pass out fliers when we're free.
[11:41] Mini
We don't have a single moment to
waste if we want to hit our goal.
[11:44] Mini
This is the time for us to come together
so we can get this movie made!
[11:48] Kazuya
Talk about convincing...
[11:55] Ruka
I don't like being ordered
around by "just a neighbor,"
[11:58] Ruka
but I've already decided that
I'll do anything for Kazuya-kun.
[12:03] Mini
And Mizuhara-san?
[12:05] Chizuru
Of course I'm in. I appreciate this.
[12:08] Mini
Everyone...
[12:09] Mini
I trust we're all in agreement.
[12:12] Mini
From here on out, this plan will be
referred to as "Operation 203"!
SIGN People only go all-out for you if they trust you.

It's like I'm completely invisible.
[13:04] Kazuya
And it was going so great yesterday...
[13:07] (Flashback) Ruka
Please take one.
[13:10] Kazuya
I mean, of course you'd take
a flier from a cute girl.
SIGN Overwhelming
gender gap...!!
SIGN That's how
the world works
[13:15] Kazuya
I was practically ignored yesterday, too.
[13:18] Kazuya
And Ruka-chan isn't here today.
[13:21] Kazuya
I can't even hand out fifty
by myself... So pathetic!
[13:25] Kazuya
Wait, no! Don't let it get you down!
[13:28] Kazuya
Please take one!
[13:29] Kazuya
Please ta—
[13:33] Kazuya
Wha?!
[13:36] Kazuya

[13:42] Kazuya
Wh-What a coincidence!
What are you doing here?
SIGN Text

again?
SIGN Dinner with my dad
[13:49] Kazuma
Oh, your dad? You two are close, huh?
SIGN Blink
[13:55] Kazuma
She totally suspects something's up!
[13:58] Kazuma
Oh, you know, we're doing this thing.
SIGN Film Project Underway!!
[14:03] Kazuya
And now the campaign has stalled.
SIGN Sounds rough.
Are you doing okay?
[14:12] Kazuya
She's worried about me?
[14:15] Kazuya
Thanks. I'm fine.
[14:17] Kazuya
It's kinda strange, actually.
[14:20] Kazuya
Whenever I've had enough
and fall down on my ass,
[14:22] Kazuya
I can feel her pulling me back up to my feet.
[14:26] Kazuya
Like, if it's for Mizuhara,
[14:28] Kazuya
I feel like I can try as many times as it takes.
[14:34] Kazuya
Wait, that was totally cringe!
[14:36] Kazuya
What am I, some kind of fanboy?
[14:39] Kazuya
Anyway, say hi to your dad for me!
See you around!
[14:42] Kazuya
Please take one!
[14:44] Kazuya
Please!
SIGN Sorry, Dad!!! Start without me!
[15:05] Kazuya
Man, these didn't come cheap.
SIGN rustle rustle
[15:09] Kazuya
Huh? Sumi-chan?!
[15:11] Kazuya
Why are you here? What about
your dinner plans with your dad?
[15:15] Sumi
I want to help, too.
[15:20] Kazuya
S-Sumi-chan...
[15:24] Sumi
Please support... our project!
[15:29] Sumi
Please... take one...
[15:34] Kazuya
Please support our project!
[15:36] Kazuya

Ichinose
[15:46] Chizuru
I don't think you'll find anything special.
[15:49] Mini
What're you talking about?
I'm getting pumped up.
[15:52] Mini
Time to hunt for treasure!
[15:55] Mini
You have such a smart, clean setup!
SIGN Nothing like
Master's room
[15:57] Mini
It totally feels like the main
heroine's apartment.
SIGN I think they did some
renovations
before I moved in
[16:00] Chizuru
What do you mean, main heroine?
SIGN It even smells nice
[16:02] Mini
Oh, just video game stuff.
[16:04] Chizuru
I did some poking around myself,
[16:07] Chizuru
and I found some old accessories and T-shirts.
[16:09] Chizuru
And books I'm done reading.
[16:11] Mini
Ooh, that's awesome!
[16:14] Chizuru
This is the kind of thing
you're looking for, right?
[16:16] Mini
Yeah, but this isn't anywhere near enough.
[16:18] Chizuru
How so?
[16:19] Mini
Personal possessions are unique items,
SIGN Heroine's Outfit
SIGN Heroine's Shoes
SIGN Heroine's Script
SIGN Heroine's Ballpen
[16:22] Mini
so we'll be creating a tier for each one.
SIGN You can have any
number of tiers
[16:25] Mini
We're still nearly a million away
from our 1.8 million yen goal,
[16:29] Mini
so the more items the merrier.
SIGN Even if we make each one
just a few thousand yen
[16:31] Chizuru
But the rewards need to have
some value, at least...
[16:36] Mini
Huh?
[16:37] Mini
There's nothing in this apartment
that isn't valuable.
[16:41] Mini
Take, for example, this hair tie.
[16:42] Chizuru
Huh? Where did you get that?!
[16:44] Mini
Found it when I used your restroom earlier.
[16:47] Chizuru
Don't randomly dig through my things!
[16:48] Mini
Relax. There wasn't anything dirty in there.
[16:51] Chizuru
That's not the point!
[16:52] Mini
Would've been nice if there was, though.
[16:54] Chizuru
Why would that be nice?!
[16:56] Chizuru
It's just something I bought
at the 100-yen shop, anyway.
[16:59] Mini
But now that it's touched
your skin, it's priceless.
[17:03] Chizuru
M-My skin? Come on.
[17:04] Mini
It's in stores for 100 yen,
[17:06] Mini
but just the fact that it was in
your home makes it a fine reward.
SIGN The dream
[17:09] Mini
Isn't the modern world great?
[17:11] Mini
Anyway, add one more to the list.
SIGN Gonna eat it,
rawr
[17:17] Mini
And now...
[17:18] Mini
It's time for the main event!
SIGN Packed with clothes!!
[17:23] Mini
Of course a rental GF
would have a crazy wardrobe!
SIGN So fashionable
[17:26] Chizuru
I basically chose this place for its closet.
[17:29] Chizuru
I can't wear the same thing
multiple times with the same client,
[17:32] Chizuru
and when I bought outfits for
every season... This happened.
[17:35] Mimi
A true pro! Mucho respect!
[17:37] Mimi
Anyway, this is a real treasure trove!
SIGN A castle
in the sky
[17:39] Chizuru
I did look through it all once.
[17:44] Mini
Th-This is...
[17:45] Chizuru
Find something?
[17:47] Mini
A Chinese dress!
SIGN And it shows off
the legs and cleavage
[17:50] Chizuru
That's not... I got that from an actor friend!
SIGN Every girl has at least
one crazy outfit
SIGN It was a joke
birthday gift
[17:51] Mini
That's fine. Even you get into
the mood some nights, huh?
[17:55] Chizuru
I told you, it's not like that!
[17:57] Mini
Honestly, I wanna say "xie xie" to you for this.
SIGN Xie Xie.
[17:59] Chizuru
Are you mocking me?!
[18:00] Chizuru
We're not giving that away!
SIGN Boing
[18:02] Mini
It'd be a shame not to! We could make
a real premium reward outta this!
SIGN Squish
SIGN Squish
SIGN Xie Xie!!
SIGN Xie Xie!!
SIGN Squish
SIGN Squish
SIGN Xie Xie!!
SIGN Xie Xie!!
SIGN Boing
SIGN Xie Xie!!
SIGN Xie Xie!!
SIGN Boing
[18:06] Chizuru
Yeah, but...
[18:07] Mini
If you're still gonna wear it,
though, that changes things.
[18:10] Chizuru
Ugh, do whatever you want.
SIGN Exhausted
[18:13] Mini
A wise decision!
SIGN Drawers just the right size
SIGN Girly pink polka dots
SIGN Stuck way
in the back
(hidden)
SIGN Stare...
[18:33] Chizuru
That's off-limits!
[18:34] Mini
Sorry, I just reached out on instinct!
[18:36] Chizuru
What kind of excuse is that?!
[18:39] Mini
Ow, ow! Say no to violence!
[18:42] Chizuru
I will if you'll stop opening that!
[18:44] Chizuru
There's no way we're
making rewards out of those!
[18:47] Mini
Might work if we slice 'em up with scissors.
SIGN I just saw something red!!
[18:50] Chizuru
That wouldn't even resemble anything!
SIGN Quiet!!
[18:55] Mini
Aw, I wanna see your panties.
[18:58] Chizuru
Your desires are exploding.
[19:00] Mini
We've got about fifty things here.
[19:02] Chizuru
That was exhausting.
[19:04] Mini
Hey, we all need to sacrifice.
[19:06] Chizuru
Anyway, what next?
[19:08] Mini
Clean up and I'll take some pics.
SIGN Gonna upload 'em
[19:15] Chizuru
Maybe I only need one of these mugs.
SIGN I bought a
set of two
[19:19] Mini
Mizuhara-san, do you have
a boyfriend or anything?
[19:23] Chizuru
Where did that come from?
[19:24] Mini
Just wondering.
[19:26] Chizuru
Does it look like I do?
[19:28] Chizuru
I'm busy right now.
[19:30] Chizuru
I get enough dates from my work.
[19:32] Mini
What a thing to say.
[19:34] Mini
I got confirmation, Master!
[19:36] Mini
What do you think Master's doing right now?
[19:39] Chizuru
Out talking with the crowdfunding site, right?
SIGN To put us
in the recommendations
[19:42] Chizuru
Weren't you the one who told him to go?
[19:43] Mini
Oh, right, I was.
[19:50] Mini
How about him for a boyfriend?
[19:54] Chizuru
Huh?
[19:55] Mini
I mean, look at everything he's doing for you.
[19:59] Mini
You met as rental GF and client, and share
the same apartment building and college?
[20:03] Mini
Any girly girl would feel the
hand of fate at play here.
[20:06] Mini
He's pretty average-looking, though.
SIGN Kinda mean?
[20:10] Chizuru
Well...
[20:12] Chizuru
I think he's a nice person.
[20:15] Chizuru
At first, he was so unreliable,
but I think he's kind
[20:19] Chizuru
and an honest, straightforward guy.
[20:22] Chizuru
I'm grateful for his help with the movie, too.
[20:25] Chizuru
But he's doing it for me the actress.
[20:28] Chizuru
It's not a romantic thing.
[20:31] Chizuru
Love is something else entirely, you know?
[20:36] Chizuru
That should be enough cleaning.
[20:38] Chizuru
If we're taking pictures,
we should do it somewhere bright.
[20:40] Mini
...you.
[20:42] Mini
He likes you.
[20:43] Mini
Master likes you, Mizuhara-san.
[20:47] Chizuru
What?
[20:48] Chizuru
Well, I mean, I guess he may like me as a person.
[20:52] Mini
That's not it!
[20:53] Mini
He's in love with you!
[20:58] Chizuru
No chance of that.
[21:01] Chizuru
I once asked him if he'd
fallen in love with me,
[21:04] Chizuru
because that would change things entirely.
[21:07] Chizuru
And he said clearly that he hadn't.
[21:10] Mini
Things have changed since then!
[21:13] Mini
Besides, did you really expect him
to tell the truth to your face?!
[21:17] Chizuru
E-Even then...
[21:18] Chizuru
Our relationship is just a pact.
And this is an extension of that pact.
[21:22] Chizuru
In the first place...
[21:23] Chizuru
he's not stupid enough to get
serious about a rental girlfriend.
[21:30] Mini
Do you really believe that, Mizuhara-san?
[21:34] Mini
Do you really think people can
draw lines in the sand like that?
[21:37] Mini
Pay money to go on dates,
say goodbye, and that's that?
[21:40] Mini
Do you really think everyone
accepts that as it is?!
[21:44] Mini
Do you believe none of them
would like to be your real boyfriend?!
[21:48] Mini
It's not that simple!
[21:51] Mini
Getting to date a beautiful girl
like you, even for a few hours,
[21:56] Mini
would make anyone wish
you were their real girlfriend!
[22:00] Mini
That's just human!
[22:02] Mini
It's not the least bit stupid!
[22:04] Mini
Among your clients may be someone
who could make you happy for life!
[22:11] (Flashback) Chizuru
Have you...
[22:11] (Flashback) Chizuru
ever considered that he could be
the one to make you happy for life?

[00:27] Chizuru
Anyway, let's get back to work.
[00:29] Chizuru
Time is money, as they say.
SIGN You wanted to take
photos, didn't you?
SIGN Rent-a-Girlfriend
SIGN "D-Day and Girlfriend"
[02:05] Mini
I'll create tiers for each item
and put up the pictures.
[02:09] Chizuru
Thanks. I appreciate it.
[02:12] Mini
I'm sure Master would say I'm wrong.
[02:16] Mini
That he only wants to see you
succeed as an actress...
[02:20] Mini
And that this is for your grandmother.
[02:22] Mini
But that isn't enough motivation
for anyone to do all he's doing.
[02:27] Mini
I'm sure true love can start from
something fake, on borrowed time.
[02:33] Mini
Thanks for that sweet look!
It made a great shot!
[02:37] Mini
That's a violation of image rights!
SIGN She's an
actress
and all
[02:40] Chizuru
Hey, wait...
SIGN slam
[02:42] Chizuru
Sheesh.
[02:43] Kazuya
Hey, uh...
[02:48] Kazuya
Mizuhara!
[02:51] Kazuya
I asked Shimizu-san to put us
on the recommendations page.
[02:54] Kazuya
He wasn't too keen on the idea.
SIGN So I went to
hand out flyers
in desperation...
[02:56] Chizuru
Oh.
[02:57] Kazuya
Huh?
SIGN Blank
[03:00] Kazuya
Huh?!
[03:11] (Flashback) Mini
I'm sure true love can start from
something fake, on borrowed time.
[03:19] Chizuru
Of all the...
[03:21] Umi
Crowdfunding for a self-made movie?
[03:24] Umi
Gotcha. I'll spread the word.
[03:27] Chizuru
You'd do that? Thank you.
[03:30] Umi
But that's great.
[03:31] Umi
Having someone beg you to star in their
movie is so motivating for an actor.
SIGN I've never had anyone come to me with an offer like that
SIGN That's our
Chizuru-chan
[03:37] Chizuru
Well, it's the guy from Opera City...
[03:40] Chizuru
The one who goes to my college.
[03:43] Umi
Oh, him?
[03:45] Chizuru
He found out about my acting career that night.
[03:48] Umi
Huh...
[03:49] Umi
Anyway, I get the idea.
[03:51] Umi
Would you like me to post about it on the
final day? Might be most effective then.
[03:55] Chizuru
I'll leave it up to you.
[03:57] Umi
With that said...
[03:58] Umi
There's something I'd like from you in return.
[04:01] Chizuru
Huh?
[04:02] Kazuya
Man...
SIGN Dumps
[04:04] Kazuya
What did I do wrong?
[04:08] Kazuya
Something was clearly off.
SIGN That interaction...
SIGN There are two types of people in this world.
Those who cry with their backs against the wall,
and those who laugh.
[04:13] Kazuya
But classes wait for no man.
[04:17] Kazuya
Time to go to school.
SIGN College students are
slaves to their credits
[04:19] Mini
Master!
[04:21] Mini
Top of the morning to you!
[04:23] Kazuya
Oh, Yaemori-san.
SIGN Full of energy
again, I see...
[04:25] Mini
What's wrong? You seem down.
[04:28] Kazuya
Not really.
[04:29] Mini
I don't buy it.
[04:30] Mini
You were so pumped up just yesterday!
SIGN Silent
[04:38] Mini
Master?!
[04:39] Kazuya
I think Mizuhara's fed up with me!
[04:42] Kazuya
When our eyes met last night,
[04:44] Kazuya
she ran into her room like
she was running away from me!
SIGN Sweat
SIGN Failed

Did I do something to upset her?
SIGN fshoo

Well, I sure hope you make up.
SIGN I shall
take
my leave
[04:56] Kazuya
Hold it!
SIGN Flinch
[04:58] Kazuya
What do you know?
[05:05] Mini
I may have gone and told Mizuhara-san
that you're in love with her.
SIGN Twirl
SIGN Crumble
[05:14] Kazuya
Sorry, my head's spinning...
SIGN Flustered
[05:17] Kazuya
You did what? Why would you tell her that?!
SIGN Bow
[05:20] Mini
I apologize! I had no idea this would happen!
[05:23] Mini
I got emotional and didn't think it through!
[05:26] Mini
I was just hoping you two would get together!
SIGN How optimistic...
[05:30] Kazuya
I never even said I was
in love with her, did I?!
[05:34] Mini
I mean, you're a virgin, so...
[05:36] Kazuya
What does that even mean?!
SIGN Quit bringing up
my virginity!
[05:38] Mini
I have no excuse.
[05:41] Kazuya
This is very, very bad.
[05:42] Kazuya
I didn't expect her to be so reckless.
[05:45] Kazuya
Our rental relationship operates under the
assumption that I have no feelings for her!
[05:51] Kazuya
But now...
[05:53] Kazuya
She's gone and ratted me out to Mizuhara!
SIGN I take
everything
back!
[05:56] Chizuru
I can't believe you!
[05:57] Chizuru
You said it was all for my grandma...
SIGN You sicko!
[05:59] Chizuru
But you just wanted to get in my pants!
SIGN Collapse

[06:03] Mini
Master?!
[06:04] Kazuya
It's over... My love story...
[06:05] Mini
Your head just made a frightening sound!
[06:07] Kazuya
has just come to an end.
[06:09] Mini
Master!
[06:10] Mini
You're stiffening up!
[06:12] Kazuya
And? What'd Mizuhara say?
[06:15] Mini
Oh, you're fine. Thank goodness.
SIGN It's the Master
we all know and love
SIGN Phew
[06:17] Kazuya
I am anything but fine!
SIGN I'm just checking,
you know!!
SIGN Just
checking!
[06:19] Mini
I didn't get it.
[06:21] Mini
She shut the conversation down, saying you'd
told her once you hadn't fallen for her.
SIGN She's
unshakable
[06:26] Mini
I couldn't even tell if I got through to her.
SIGN G'night...
Don't feel like
going to class anymore
SIGN Master,
this is a
parking lot!
[06:32] Kazuya
Like hell it didn't.
[06:33] Kazuya
Otherwise she wouldn't be
creeped out. I just know it.
[06:37] Mini
Stay strong, Master!
[06:39] Mini
I'll never do it again!
I'll burn it into my brain's SSD!
[06:39] Kazuya
I don't know how seriously she took it,
but that explains her attitude last night.
SIGN Click
[06:45] Kazuya
She's probably lost all trust in me now.
SIGN Just Now
SIGN Ichinose Chizuru
We need to talk tonight.
Could you get Yaemori-san, too?
[06:55] Kazuya
Huh?!
[06:55] Mini
What?!
[06:56] Mini
She's not mad at you! Good for you!
SIGN You have no right
to say anything
SIGN I'm
relieved
[06:59] Kazuya
What could she want to talk about?
[07:03] Kazuya
What?!
[07:04] Mini
Two hundred thirty thousand followers?!
[07:06] Chizuru
Yeah.
[07:07] Chizuru
Umi-kun's apparently famous on social media.
SIGN He says he'll
give us a retweet
SIGN Over 230,000
SIGN Just a good morning
tweet gets 1.5k replies
SIGN Morning
[07:10] Kazuya
Wow, it's true.
[07:11] Kazuya
It's that guy from Christmas!
[07:14] Kazuya
I think he was a classmate from her
acting school, and a serious stud.
[07:18] Kazuya
I would prefer not to turn to him, but...
[07:22] Kazuya
This is honestly a godsend.
[07:24] Kazuya
That aside...
[07:25] Kazuya
She's not mad?
[07:25] Chizuru
This will help, right?
[07:27] Kazuya
Did it not get through to her,
like Yaemori-san said?
[07:28] Mini
Big time!
[07:30] Mini
We can get through the
crowdfunding stage with this!
[07:30] Kazuya
Did I just imagine her avoiding me last night?
[07:35] Kazuya
Something wrong?
[07:37] Chizuru
Oh, no.
[07:39] Chizuru
It's no big deal.
[07:40] Mini
We should share all our concerns,
no matter how minor.
[07:44] Chizuru
Nah, this is a personal thing.
[07:46] Chizuru
Anyway, bye.
[07:47] Kazuya
T-Tell me, please!
[07:50] Kazuya
I know I'm not the most
reliable producer around...
[07:53] Kazuya
b-but we're in this together, aren't we?
SIGN Oho...
SIGN Ba-dump
SIGN Ba-dump
[08:01] Chizuru
The last day for the crowdfunding
campaign is July 28th, right?
[08:06] Mini
Huh? Yeah... It's in one week.
[08:11] Chizuru
Umi-kun invited me to go see a play that day.
[08:15] Kazuya
A play?
[08:16] Chizuru
The person he was planning
to go with can't make it.
[08:21] Chizuru
It's a popular troupe,
so getting tickets is hard.
[08:23] Chizuru
And we could learn a thing or
two about acting from them.
[08:27] Chizuru
But we decided we'd all
hand out flyers that day.
[08:30] Chizuru
So I very much want to
turn him down, of course,
[08:33] Chizuru
but it would be awkward after
asking him to retweet our campaign.
[08:36] Chizuru
I just said I'd think about it.
[08:41] Kazuya
Is this, like, in exchange for the retweet?
[08:44] Chizuru
Huh? Don't be stupid.
[08:47] Chizuru
Umi-kun has a girlfriend, anyway.
[08:49] Kazuya
He does?
[08:51] Kazuya
So he's not asking her out on a date?
SIGN Going on dates
is normal.
So what if I
have a girlfriend?
SIGN ° Merely Kazuya's imagination
[08:53] Kazuya
Really?
[08:54] Kazuya
Going by his looks,
it feels like he'd be a playboy...
[08:57] Kazuya
A-And plus!
[08:59] Kazuya
This is Mizuhara we're talking about!
[09:01] Kazuya
She's the WMD! The Weapon of Male Destruction!
[09:03] Kazuya
The S-tier goddess descended
upon our mortal coil!
[09:06] Kazuya
No man could ask her out without
hoping it'd lead to something more!
SIGN A man and a woman can't be just friends
when the woman in question is hot!!
[09:10] Kazuya
If that stud has decided to make
a serious move on her...
SIGN Stud
SIGN Mizuhara (cute)
[09:14] Umi
For you, Chizuru-chan.
I think it would look good on you.
SIGN I have a girlfriend,
but who cares?
SIGN Beam
[09:18] Umi
How would you like to be
the heroine of my life?
[09:21] Chizuru
Umi-kun!
SIGN How lovely...
[09:22] Kazuya
Gah!
SIGN Hell on Earth
[09:24] Kazuya
H-He's asking for the impossible.
SIGN Total loser
[09:26] Kazuya
We marked that day for
handing out flyers ages ago.
[09:28] Chizuru
Yeah, you're right.
[09:30] Kazuya
Also, like, you're too busy for—
[09:33] Mini
You should go see that play.
[09:36] Chizuru
Huh? You really think so?
[09:38] Mini
Turning him down when we're having him
retweet our campaign would make it awkward.
[09:41] Mini
The three of us can handle flyer duty.
[09:44] Mini
And if it makes you a better
actress, nothing like it!
SIGN Ah.
SIGN Grab
SIGN A headlock!?
[09:49] Kazuya
Sorry, give us a sec.
SIGN Slam
[09:52] Kazuya
Do you even realize what you're saying?!
SIGN Whose side
are you on?
SIGN He could just
say he forget
[09:54] Mini
The dude's a dude!
[09:56] Mini
If she turns him down, he might
not go through with the retweet!
[10:00] Mini
He has 230,000 followers, you know!
SIGN We gotta
capitalize on that
[10:03] Mini
He's an actor, so his followers
are likely to be film buffs.
[10:06] Mini
It'll be super effective!
[10:09] Kazuya
But he's a real stud! I mean it!
SIGN He's in a completely
different league!!
SIGN I know, I saw his pic
[10:12] Mini
We just gotta trust Mizuhara-san!
[10:14] Kazuya
But...
[10:15] Mini
So you're okay with the campaign failing?!
SIGN Trust Thy Fave
[10:18] Mini
It's getting back on track,
but this is where things get real!
[10:22] Mini
Umi-san's retweet could get us over the line!
[10:25] Mini
The retweet is the fee for the date!
[10:28] Mini
It's no different from
her rental girlfriend job!
SIGN Good
point
[10:31] Mini
Just look at it from a different angle!
[10:34] Mini
I don't like the idea of her going on a date
with someone other than you, either.
[10:39] Mini
But sometimes, you have to steel your
heart and make the hard decisions!
[10:44] Mini
This is for her grandmother!
[10:46] Mini
Lose this battle to win the war!
SIGN Drain
[10:52] Mini
So we talked it out and
agreed that you should go.
[10:54] Chizuru
Huh, y-you did?
[10:56] Mini
Right, Master?
[10:59] Kazuya
Mizuhara... Mizuhara!
[11:02] Kazuya
Yeah, I mean, if it makes you a better actor...
[11:06] Chizuru
Why the tears?
[11:07] Mini
He got some toothpaste in his eye.
SIGN Why even brush
right now?
SIGN Just basic
etiquette!
[11:11] Chizuru
Well, if you say so, I'll go.
SIGN I can meet up with you
guys in the evening
[11:14] Chizuru
Either way, I'll only be a few hours.
[11:17] Mini
Actually, you're free to go
grab a bite with him, too—
[11:20] Chizuru
What was that?
SIGN What was
that noise?
SIGN Smart Smart
[11:22] Mini
Nothing.
[11:24] Mini
Go, go, Mizuhara-san!
[11:24] Chizuru
Why do I feel like I'm being sent off to war?
SIGN Go! Go!
Mizuhara-san!
[11:27] Mini
You can do it, Mizuhara-san!
SIGN Slam
[11:35] Kazuya
Mizu—
SIGN No! I hate it!
[11:36] Mini
No! She'll hear you!
SIGN Kick Struggle
[11:38] Mini
You did well!
You did well to hold it in, Master!
[11:38] Kazuya
Mizuhara!
[11:41] Mini
You're so big-hearted! Respect!
[11:44] Kazuya
I hate it!
[11:44] Mini
You can do it when it counts!
That's my Master!
[11:46] Mini
You've got the swag of the #1 option!
[11:50] Guys
Check her out.
[11:52] Guys
She's so cute.
[11:53] Guys
Whoa, she's hot.
[11:57] (Flashback) Kazuya
Is this, like, in exchange for the retweet?
[12:00] (Flashback) Chizuru
Huh?
[12:01] Chizuru
Sheesh. It's not like that.
[12:04] Umi
Chizuru-chan.
[12:06] Umi
Hope you didn't wait long. Let's go.
[12:07] Chizuru
Sure.

[12:13] Umi
Thanks. I'm sure you must be busy,
last day and all.
[12:16] Umi
Things going okay?
[12:17] Chizuru
Yep.
[12:18] Chizuru
The others told me to go, too, so don't worry.
[12:21] Umi
I've been real excited about today.
[12:25] Chizuru
I bet!
[12:26] Chizuru
We get to see Troupe Blahblah!
I'm amazed you even got tickets.
[12:30] Umi
Nah.
[12:32] Umi
I meant I'm excited to be here with you.
SIGN To be human is to hope and desire
[12:36] Chizuru
Huh?
[12:42] Umi
I mean, everyone knows
how much you love theater.
[12:46] Umi
And I love hearing your
excited post-show reviews.
[12:49] Chizuru
H-Hey, no poking fun!
[12:51] Umi
Sorry, my bad.
[12:53] Umi
Still...
[12:54] Umi
You always get so into it, all red-faced.
[12:54] Chizuru
That gave me a start.
[12:57] Umi
Anyway, it's amazing that
you're starring in a movie.
[13:00] Chizuru
It's an amateur film, though.
[13:02] Umi
A film's a film.
[13:04] Umi
And you went the crowdfunding route, too.
[13:07] Umi
I didn't get those vibes from him
when we met that Christmas.
[13:10] Umi
He must be really taken by
Ichinose Chizuru the actress.
[13:14] Umi
What's he like?
[13:16] Chizuru
What is he like?
[13:18] Chizuru
He's a strange one, that much is for sure.
[13:21] Chizuru
Like, I get that we got
to know each other, but...
[13:22] Chizuru
People normally don't make movies with
schoolmates who happen to be aspiring actors.
[13:30] Chizuru
He talks a big game, but immediately
messes up and starts panicking.
[13:34] Chizuru
He knows nothing about film production,
but is so confident he can make one.
[13:39] Chizuru
But...
[13:41] Chizuru
He taught me the value of having people
around who can tell you, "It's possible."
[13:45] Chizuru
That's the kind of guy he is.
[13:51] Umi
You okay?
[13:53] Chizuru
Yeah, thanks.
[13:55] Umi
You seem super fragile, so be careful.
[14:01] Ruka
Okay, yeah.
SIGN That's the
only option
[14:03] Ruka
It's for the best that she went.
SIGN Blah Blah
[14:06] Ruka
One look at Kazuya-kun shows
that boys and lust go hand-in-hand.
[14:11] Ruka
Even the most pleasant hot guys
are sure to have ulterior motives.
[14:14] Ruka
We need Chizuru-san to give him
the greatest date of all time
SIGN Hahaha...
You're a monster,
Miss Girlfriend
[14:18] Ruka
and secure Umi-kun's retweet for us.
[14:22] Ruka
What's your problem? You have me right here!
[14:25] Ruka
I don't believe I gave you
the okay to sit around moping!
SIGN Sorry
[14:34] Ruka
Please take one!
[14:36] Ruka
Please take one.
[14:36] Kazuya
Ruka-chan?
[14:38] Ruka
No point in overthinking it.
[14:40] Ruka
Right now, let's do what we can
for her grandmother.
[14:44] Ruka
Hand those flyers out!
[14:47] Kazuya
Yeah, she's right.
[14:49] Kazuya
It's not a sure thing that Umi-kun
has dirty thoughts in mind, anyway.
SIGN Please take one
SIGN Please back
our project!
[14:53] Kazuya
I got carried away and started this project,
[14:55] Kazuya
but I have people helping me
out and supporting me...
[14:58] Kazuya
Now I gotta make this happen!
[15:00] Kazuya
For all of them, and for Granny Sayuri!
[15:04] Kazuya
I gotta make sure it succeeds!
[15:09] Kazuya
Thanks, Ruka-chan.
[15:11] Kazuya
I've always just stressed you out
because I can't get my act together.
[15:16] Kazuya
I wouldn't have made it this far without you.
[15:19] Kazuya
So thank you.
[15:21] Ruka
God, he's so clueless!
[15:24] Ruka
You're welcome!
[15:26] Kazuya
Mizuhara, I'm gonna do this.
[15:30] Kazuya
So you get through today unscathed, too!
[15:33] Chizuru
I have no words!
[15:35] Chizuru
That was the best!
[15:37] Umi
You even got to talk to them.
I'm happy for you.
[15:39] Chizuru
You made it all happen!
[15:41] Chizuru
Did you see what they did
with that turning point in Act 3?!
[15:44] Chizuru
Their acting amped things up just
before the fall back down to earth.
SIGN That was great direction!
[15:48] Chizuru
Hoya-san had such a good
expression on until then!
[15:51] Chizuru
I knew comedy would be a great fit!
[15:54] Chizuru
The back-and-forth with Fuji-san
made me laugh out loud!
[15:57] Chizuru
I'd like to try it, too!
[15:59] Chizuru
I'm so grateful the gang told me to come!
[16:03] Umi
Yeah, I love it.
[16:06] Umi
You're normally such a focused and
feet-planted-firmly-on-the-ground hard worker,
[16:11] Umi
but after you see a play,
you turn into this girl brimming with joy.
[16:14] Umi
I really love...
[16:17] Umi
that side of you.
[16:19] Chizuru
Oh, come on. Keep saying that and
Nana-chan will come for your head.
[16:24] Umi
Yeah... Nanaho's dial is always turned to 11.
[16:26] Chizuru
There are plenty of good things about her.
[16:30] Chizuru
It's too bad about today.
[16:32] Chizuru
You wanted to come with her, didn't you?
[16:35] Chizuru
Sucks that she had to get sick.
[16:37] Chizuru
Are you going to go visit her now?
[16:40] Umi
I lied about her getting sick.
[16:44] Umi
I broke up with her.
[16:50] Chizuru
R-Really? When?
[16:54] Umi
A week or so ago.
[16:56] Umi
That's why she couldn't make it today.
[17:00] Umi
I lied because I couldn't
bring myself to tell you that.
[17:04] Chizuru
Oh... That's too bad.
[17:07] Umi
Actually, it might've been a good thing.
[17:10] Umi
Looking at you watch the play
with your eyes all sparkling,
[17:13] Umi
made me glad I brought you with me instead.
[17:18] Umi
And I've been thinking recently...
[17:20] Umi
I find girls who are serious about
acting more appealing.
[17:24] Umi
And Nanaho... wasn't, really.

I wish I could hear you out regarding
Nana-chan, but I can't. Sorry.
[17:41] Chizuru
See you.
[17:43] Chizuru
What are you thinking, you idiot?
[17:46] Chizuru
Umi-kun's just putting on a brave face
so I won't worry about him.
[17:50] Chizuru
I was just here to sub for Nana-chan.
Nothing more than that.
[17:54] Umi

[19:08] Umi
Do you wanna go grab a bite?
[19:11] (Flashback) Chizuru
Er... What is this about, Umi-kun?
[19:15] (Flashback) Umi
It was part of today's plans.
I made reservations.
[19:18] (Flashback) Umi
It's a pretty great place,
and it's not easy to book a table.
[19:21] (Flashback) Umi
So it'd be a waste to just cancel.
[19:24] (Flashback) Chizuru
But I have somewhere to be...
[19:26] (Flashback) Umi
It's members-only or something, apparently.
[19:30] (Flashback) Umi
I hear the spare rib and
wine there are to die for.
[19:33] (Flashback) Umi
Some pretty big names in
the acting world are regulars.
[19:36] (Flashback) Umi
I'd love to hear more of your
thoughts about the play there.
[19:42] (Flashback) Chizuru
I'm... really sorry.
[19:45] (Flashback) Chizuru
Today's really important for us.
[19:49] (Flashback) Chizuru
Everything we did was building up for this day.
[19:53] (Flashback) Chizuru
Even as we speak, my friends
are out there trying to help me.
[19:57] (Flashback) Chizuru
So...
[19:59] (Flashback) Chizuru
While I appreciate the offer...
[20:01] (Flashback) Chizuru
I really should go.
[20:03] (Flashback) Umi
Do you like him?
[20:05] (Flashback) Umi
Do you like that guy?
[20:09] (Flashback) Chizuru
Huh?
[20:11] (Flashback) Umi
Are you in love with him?
[20:15] (Flashback) Girls
Oh, yikes.
[20:16] (Flashback) Girls
Stop that.
[20:17] (Flashback) Girls
Are they breaking up in public?
[20:19] (Flashback) Girls
Are you kidding me?
[20:20] (Flashback) Chizuru
Wh-What are you talking about? Stop it!
[20:22] (Flashback) Chizuru
We just go to the same college.
[20:25] (Flashback) Chizuru
Yeah, we're spending more
time together these days,
[20:28] (Flashback) Chizuru
but that's all because we're making a movie...
[20:32] (Flashback) Umi
Feels like you do.
[20:33] (Flashback) Chizuru
Huh?
[20:34] (Flashback) Umi
Looking at you, it sure feels
like you do like him.
[20:38] (Flashback) Umi
A while ago, you didn't
seem excited about anything.
[20:41] (Flashback) Umi
But thinking back now, probably around
when this whole movie thing started...
[20:45] (Flashback) Umi
That was when you returned to your usual self.
[20:49] (Flashback) Umi
I thought your grandmother
was feeling better or something,
[20:52] (Flashback) Umi
but I guess it was because
you decided to chin up.
[20:57] (Flashback) Umi
So, do you like this guy
who changed things for you?
[21:10] (Flashback) Kazuya
I'll do it!
[21:11] (Flashback) Kazuya
No matter what happens!
[21:13] (Flashback) Chizuru
I... don't like him.
[21:17] (Flashback) Chizuru
But...
[21:19] (Flashback) Chizuru
I don't not like him, either.
[21:22] (Flashback) Chizuru
Sorry, I need to go now.
[21:26] Kazuya
That's the story of what happened on this day.
[21:29] Kazuya
I had no clue about any of it.
[21:32] Kazuya
I was just stealing glances at Mizuhara
doing her best to hand out those flyers.
[21:39] Kazuya
I just hoped and prayed
SIGN CAMPFIRE's Recommended Projects!
[21:42] Kazuya
as we continued to hand out flyers
until the clock struck midnight...
SIGN Are you going to star in it?
SIGN I wanna check it out, but I'm still at work
SIGN Wait, wait, what's this??!
[21:48] (Flashback) Umi
I'm such an idiot.
[21:51] Kazuya
I don't know if the praying worked or what,
[21:55] Kazuya
but at the moment of the crowdfunding
campaign's time limit...
[21:58] Kazuya

she must've seen it as an opportunity to grow.

[13:00] Kazuya
Huh...
[13:00] Sign
Gotta give the people what they want!
[13:02] Kazuya
Oh, and I also plan on asking Ruka-chan.
[13:05] Kazuya
I think the four of us can handle it.
[13:08] Kazuya
What's up?
[13:09] Mini
Nothing at all.
[13:11] Mini
Anyway, I got you.
[13:12] Mini
I'll look for a resort inn
and make the booking.
[13:15] Kazuya
Huh? Wai—
[13:16] Mini
I'll even plot out the schedule and
throw it up in the Operation 203 group.
[13:20] Kazuya
What's gotten into you?
[13:21] Mini
Organizing things like this
is part of the job for me.
[13:26] Mini
My instincts as a planner
are going into overdrive!
[13:28] Mini
Anyway, you can go ahead
and contact the other two!
[13:30] Kazuya
Wait!
[13:32] Kazuya
It helps, but what's with her?
[13:35] Kazuya
Well, I'll call Ruka-chan later. First...
SIGN Tremble
Tremble
SIGN Shake Shake
[13:41] Kazuya
This is for the movie! The movie!
SIGN Sharp
[13:44] Chizuru
Next Wednesday and Thursday? Got it.
[13:47] Kazuya
You're fine with it?
[13:48] Chizuru
Obviously. I'll go, no matter what.
[13:51] Chizuru
It's for the movie.
[13:52] Kazuya
R-Really? Thank goodness!
[13:53] Kazuya
Her voice is so cute!
[13:54] Kazuya
Yaemori-san says she'll share
the deets in the LIVE group.
[13:57] Chizuru
That aside, are you sure we'll
be okay without the director?
[13:59] Kazuya
I'll make sure the prep is perfect.
[14:01] Chizuru
Okay, then. Bye.
[14:03] Kazuya
B-Bye...
[14:07] Kazuya
Yes!
[14:08] Kazuya
We're this close to finishing.
[14:10] Kazuya
This close!

Camera, check.
[14:17] Kazuya
Tripod, check.
[14:18] Kazuya
Battery, fully charged.
[14:20] Kazuya
I got a storyboard, too.
[14:22] Kazuya
We arrive at Iiyama Station at 12:15.
[14:24] Kazuya
The bus to the resort hotel in
Madarao takes thirty minutes.
[14:27] Kazuya
We check into the hotel at 1 PM,
[14:29] Kazuya
and once we get there, we need to scout
out the location before filming at night.
[14:33] Kazuya
Gah! Is this really gonna work out?!
[14:36] Kazuya
Given the costs and how packed
Mizuhara's schedule is,
[14:38] Kazuya
there's no way I can just go,
"Too bad. It didn't work out"!
[14:41] Kazuya
The director's not here,
so I gotta take the lead!
[14:49] Chizuru
Heya.
[14:50] Kazuya
Mizuhara!
SIGN You actually
came
SIGN Huh?!
What kinda
reaction is that?
[14:51] Chizuru
Morning. That's a lot of stuff.
[14:53] Kazuya
I-I got everything we need!
[14:55] Guys
Yo, check her out!
[14:56] Guys
So pretty!
[14:57] Guys
Trip with her boyfriend?
[14:59] Guys
She's probably a rental girlfriend.
[15:01] Kazuya
That's the first time anyone's guessed right!
SIGN Big earrings only
pretty girls can wear
SIGN Casual yet smart
[15:03] Kazuya
Well, that figures.
[15:05] Kazuya
I've seen it before, but Mizuhara's
casual getup really gets me!
[15:09] Kazuya
She knows what looks good on her.
SIGN Bare legs
because
it's too hot
[15:11] Kazuya
And while she looks cool and dressed up,
[15:13] Kazuya
she's got that casualness
you can only have in summer.
SIGN Flustered
SIGN Ba-dump Ba-dump
[15:15] Kazuya
It's a special bonus outfit I don't get
to see on rental dates. I love it.
[15:18] Kazuya
Wait, no! We're going to film for the movie!
SIGN I'm just a robot
here to complete
the movie!
[15:21] Chizuru
What, did the heat get to you?
[15:24] Chizuru
And where are the others?
[15:25] Kazuya
Oh...
[15:26] Kazuya
I've been calling Yaemori-san,
but she just won't pick up.
[15:30] Chizuru
But we're taking the 10:45 train, right?
[15:33] Chizuru
There's only five minutes left.
[15:35] Kazuya
She doesn't seem to be the punctual sort...
[15:37] Chizuru
What about Ruka-chan?
[15:39] Kazuya
She was really excited when we
talked on the phone last night,
[15:42] Kazuya
so I doubt she overslept or anything.
[15:45] Chizuru
Huh... So you two are hitting it off?
[15:47] Kazuya
Nah! It's not like that.
[15:49] Kazuya
This is just a trial, anyway.
[15:51] Chizuru
You should call her.
[15:53] Chizuru
You haven't talked today, right?
[15:55] Kazuya
R-Right.
[15:56] Kazuya
Oh, it's Yaemori-san!
[15:58] Kazuya
Hello, Yaemori-san? Where are you?
[16:01] Kazuya
Huh?!
[16:02] Kazuya
Hold up!
[16:05] Chizuru
Hey, the shinkansen's here!
What are they saying?
[16:10] Kazuya
...says.
[16:11] Chizuru
What?
[16:12] Kazuya
They're not coming, she says.
[16:14] Chizuru
Huh?!
[16:15] Chizuru
Wait, what's going on?
[16:17] Chizuru
Weren't we going in a group of four?!
[16:19] Kazuya
That was the plan, but...
[16:37] Kazuya
You can't be serious...
[16:39] Kazuya
We got on the shinkansen.
[16:43] Kazuya
The trip with Mizuhara has left the station!
[16:48] Chizuru
Hey, come on.
[16:49] Kazuya
Y-Yes?!
[16:50] Chizuru
What did Yaemori-san say?
[16:52] Chizuru
She told you why she isn't here
over the phone, right?
[16:55] (Flashback) Kazuya
N-Not coming? Why?!
[16:58] (Flashback) Mini
Master, you see...
SIGN Snicker
[17:01] (Flashback) Mini
This is your chance!
[17:02] (Flashback) Kazuya
Huh? What are you saying?!
[17:04] Mini
It's not every day you get to go
on a trip with Mizuhara-san.
[17:08] Mini
Without us third and fourth wheels around,
you can be alone with her!
[17:11] (Flashback) Kazuya
Alone? Third and fourth wheels?!
[17:13] Mini
Making this movie has improved Mizuhara-san's
opinion of you leaps and bounds!
[17:18] Mini
Strike while the iron's hot!
[17:20] Kazuya
Y-You idiot!
[17:21] Kazuya
I never asked for this!
[17:23] (Flashback) Mini
Well, you're a virgin, so...
[17:25] Kazuya
Seriously, what does that even mean?!
[17:27] (Flashback) Mini
It is what it is.
[17:29] (Flashback) Kazuya
Besides, Ruka-chan will be—
[17:30] Mini
I handled things with her already.
[17:32] (Flashback) Kazuya
Huh? What did you do?! And what about filming?!
[17:35] Mini
You'll be fine. I always film by myself, too.
[17:38] (Flashback) Kazuya
Yeah, for WeTube!
[17:40] (Flashback) Kazuya
This is ridiculous!
[17:41] (Flashback) Kazuya
Mizuhara has no such thoughts...
[17:43] Mini
You're still going on about that?!
[17:45] Mini
She's playing along with your lies
when you're so selfish and indulgent!
SIGN Virgin through and through
SIGN No need to
be that blunt
[17:49] Mini
We talked about how that means she feels
something for you! Is this déjà vu?!
[17:53] (Flashback) Mini
Besides, it's for real.
[17:54] Kazuya
What is?
[17:56] (Flashback) Mini
Women feel lust, too, for real.
[17:59] (Flashback) Kazuya
Lu...?!
[18:00] Mini
It's scientific fact that Mizuhara-san
gets in the mood once a month!
[18:05] (Flashback) Kazuya
Th-The mood?
[18:07] Mini
No matter how pretty, cute, and classy she is,
[18:10] Mini
she'll have nights where
she pines for the male touch!
[18:13] Kazuya
The mood?!
SIGN Melt
[18:15] (Flashback) Mini
And tonight might be one of those nights.
[18:20] Mini
Did you know?
[18:21] Mini
It's not the people with all the means
who get what they want in life.
[18:25] Mini
It's those who seize the
moment when it arrives!
[18:28] Chizuru
What's with you?
[18:30] Chizuru
Why are you freezing up?
[18:32] Kazuya
I can't tell her, even if it kills me!
[18:35] Kazuya
I can't tell her she no-showed in order
to make sure we got alone time!
SIGN Ring Ring
[18:41] Chizuru
Oh, it's from Yaemori-san.
SIGN I have the flu, so I can't
make it! So sorry!
SIGN Yaemori Mini
[18:43] Chizuru
The flu?!
[18:45] Kazuya

That's what she told me over

Hello!

That sticker you sent on LIVE
this morning was so cute!
[19:03] Kazuya
She sounds normal...
[19:05] Kazuya
Where are you right now?
[19:06] Ruka
Huh?
[19:06] Ruka
Harajuku. It's a shame, though.
[19:10] Ruka
That the shoot had to be postponed
because Yaemori-san has the flu.
SIGN I got sent
a pic of
her
temperature
[19:13] Kazuya
That bitch!
SIGN She's
evil!
SIGN No holes in my plan!
SIGN Not coming
[19:18] Ruka
What are you up to, Kazuya-kun?
[19:21] Kazuya
I was feeding my fish,
and then I realized it was 10 AM!
[19:21] Kazuya
There's no way I can tell her I'm
alone with Mizuhara right now!
SIGN Huh?
[19:25] Ruka
You really love your fish, huh?
You two are so close!
[19:28] Ruka
Anyway, your neighbor's sick,
so be careful you don't catch anything.
[19:31] Kazuya
Y-Yeah. Bye.
[19:35] Kazuya
Yeah, she's gotta be mad about all this.
[19:40] Chizuru
Looks like we've given her the wrong idea.
[19:43] Kazuya
Huh?
[19:44] Chizuru
Yaemori-san planned this, didn't she?
[19:47] Chizuru
She seems to think we like each other.
[19:47] Kazuya
Sharp as ever!
[19:48] Kazuya
Yaemori-san, she knows!
[19:49] Kazuya
Wanna get off at Omiya?
[19:51] Chizuru
What about filming?
Can you manage by yourself?
[19:53] Kazuya
Probably... I'll do my best...
[19:56] Chizuru
Forget it, then.
[19:58] Chizuru
Let's get that footage and return ASAP.
[19:59] Chizuru
We can give Yaemori-san a nasty surprise.
SIGN She signed off
on the trip...
[20:05] Chizuru
I need the restroom.
[20:06] Chizuru
Have a seat and watch my stuff, please.
[20:07] Kazuya
O-Okay.
[20:11] Kazuya
She doesn't seem mad, at least.
[20:14] Kazuya
But she accepted it so easily...
[20:17] Kazuya
I guess she really feels nothing for me.
[20:21] Kazuya
Wait, no! This trip is for filming!
[20:29] Chizuru
Are you serious?
[20:33] Chizuru
Here, lunch.
[20:34] Chizuru
I ran into the food trolley on the way.
SIGN Pick one
[20:37] Chizuru
Just so you know,
I want to be paid back for this.
[20:37] Kazuya
Mizuhara got me food...
SIGN I'll have
what's left.
[20:39] Kazuya
W-We can expense this.
[20:46] Chizuru
Yeah, this is good.
[20:48] Kazuya
It feels really weird...
[20:51] Kazuya
how the two of us can just naturally
spend time together like this.
[20:56] Chizuru
I can't believe how close we
are to being done, though.
[20:59] Chizuru
I was really worried at the start,
but now we're down to one last scene.
[21:04] Kazuya
I'm so grateful to the whole crew.
[21:07] Kazuya
Like, I ran my mouth and dragged you into this,
[21:12] Kazuya
but I really can't do anything by myself.
[21:15] Kazuya
So I messed up, but so many
people helped me out.
[21:18] Kazuya
It made me realize I really
wouldn't be here if not for all of you.
[21:21] Kazuya
Whoa, this looks great!
[21:23] Kazuya
Time to dig in!
[21:26] Kazuya
Yum!
[21:30] Kazuya
We made it to Iiyama Station!
[21:32] Kazuya
It really is cooler here than in Tokyo.
[21:36] Kazuya
Right, Mizuhara?
[21:37] Chizuru
Er... Yeah.
[21:40] Kazuya
The inn's a thirty-minute bus ride away.
[21:43] Kazuya
Where's the stop?
[21:44] Chizuru
H-Hey, you know...
[21:46] Kazuya
Hm?
[21:47] Chizuru
Oh, uh... It's just...
[21:50] Chizuru
I mean, uh... erm...
[21:56] Chizuru
Actually, never mind.
[22:05] Kazuya
What was that?
[22:06] Kazuya
Mizuhara?
[22:08] (Flashback) Mini
Making this movie has improved Mizuhara-san's

Huh...
[00:02] Chizuru
So this is the Madarao Resort Hotel!
[00:05] Chizuru
The lobby's so spacious and pretty!
[00:11] Chizuru
I guess it doesn't get crowded
here outside of ski season.
[00:16] Chizuru
Wow, just the view from here
is incredible already!

I've never seen Mizuhara with
an expression like that before!
SIGN Sorry,
scenery!!
SIGN What was that
all about?!
[00:42] Kazuya
She was blushing and all...
[00:44] Kazuya
What was with that absurdly adorable look?!
SIGN She was like
Sumi-chan
back there!
[00:47] Kazuya
"Oh, uh..."?
[00:48] Kazuya
Stumbling over your words
once I get, but twice?!
[00:51] Kazuya
"It's just... I mean, uh... erm..."
[00:53] Kazuya
Twice!
[00:54] Kazuya
It didn't feel like she just changed her mind!
[00:58] Kazuya
She forced herself to try to get the words
out, and then forced herself to stop!
[01:01] Kazuya
It was as if...
[01:03] Kazuya
As if she was about to confess her love to me!
[01:04] Chizuru
Lately, you've been, uh... really amazing...
[01:09] Kazuya
Ridiculous!
SIGN Shake
SIGN Shake
[01:10] Kazuya
Mizuhara would never! Not to me!
[01:13] Chizuru
What's up?
[01:14] Chizuru
Did you get bus-sick?
[01:16] Kazuya
Nah, just a pebble in my shoes.

[01:22] Chizuru
Oh, thank you.
SIGN Rock of Joy
[01:28] Kazuya
What?!
[01:29] Kazuya
We only have one room?!
[01:32] Staff
Yes. Yaemori-sama only reserved
one room for two people.
[01:40] Kazuya
She did it...
[01:41] (Flashback) Mini
This is your chance!
[01:43] Kazuya
She went and did the thing!
[01:46] Kazuya
I can't!
[01:47] Kazuya
Sleeping in the same room?
[01:49] Kazuya
I'd have endless heart attacks!
[01:52] Kazuya
C-Can this be fixed?
SIGN We've been
set up!!
[01:54] Staff
We do have rooms available...
[01:57] Kazuya
How much?
[01:59] Staff
An additional room will
be 18,000 yen per night.
[02:01] Chizuru
W-Wait.
SIGN I should've kept an eye on her
[02:04] Kazuya
Th-This is my responsibility for letting
Yaemori-san book the hotel.
[02:07] Kazuya
I'll get you another room,
even if I have to pay out of pocket.
[02:15] Kazuya
Huh?
[02:16] Kazuya

SIGN Tell her to
mind her
own business
[04:32] Kazuya
A-Absolutely.
[04:34] Chizuru
Though, I guess we're partly at fault
for giving her the wrong idea.
[04:41] Chizuru
We're going out to scout the location, right?

Come on, we're losing daylight.

wanna roll
down the

There's no snow,
but that makes it perfect for hiking.
[05:10] Chizuru
I'm glad it's such a pleasant day.
[05:14] Chizuru
Will we be filming around here?
[05:15] Kazuya
Y-Yeah.
[05:17] Kazuya
We can set up the tripod here.
[05:20] Chizuru
What time will we need to shoot?
[05:21] Kazuya
I asked the hotel staff earlier,
[05:24] Kazuya
and they said we'd get a
nice starry sky post-midnight.
[05:27] Chizuru
Oh... Do you wanna do a test run first?
[05:29] Kazuya
Y-Yeah. Sounds good.
[05:34] Kazuya
Okay, say something.
[05:41] Chizuru
This is it, huh?
[05:44] Kazuya
Mizuhara's in actress mode already.
[05:48] Kazuya

[06:41] Chizuru
I know you feel you have to get this right,
but why not take a breather?
[06:45] Chizuru
We did travel quite far.
Also, the bath's free right now.
[06:49] Kazuya
I-I can hit the bath after we're done.
[06:53] Kazuya
It's fine. This is what I want.
[07:11] Kazuya
Wow, it's pitch black out here.
[07:13] Kazuya
Holy crap!
[07:15] Kazuya
It's a good thing we came
to check the place out.
[07:18] Kazuya

[07:27] Kazuya
Okay, test cleared.
[07:29] Kazuya
It's perfect.
[07:31] Kazuya
Let's get this done.
[07:33] Chizuru
Hey, listen.
[07:38] Chizuru
I changed my mind.
I do need to tell you something.

Huh? What?

I don't know about that...

Wait, right now? At this time? No way!
[07:58] Kazuya
This isn't a good time.
[08:00] Kazuya
Can you wait until after we're done?
[08:02] Chizuru
No! I made up my mind to tell
you before we wrapped up!
[08:09] Kazuya
What the... What's with her?
[08:11] Kazuya
It's not like her to be so insistent.
I didn't know she could be so stubborn.
[08:15] Kazuya
And her face is burning red again!
[08:19] (Flashback) Mini
Mizuhara-san obviously loves you back, Master.

[08:34] Kazuya
It's gotta be...
[08:35] Kazuya
She's telling me she loves—
[08:37] Kazuya
Wait, time out!
[08:41] Chizuru
You see, I had a grandpa I loved very much.
[08:44] Chizuru
But he passed away three years ago.
[08:49] Chizuru
When I first said I wanted to be
an actress, he encouraged me.
[08:52] Chizuru
We made a promise with each other
that he'd see me shine on screen.
[08:58] Chizuru
But he was killed in a car crash.
[09:02] Chizuru
So I wanted Grandma to see it in his stead.
[09:07] Chizuru
I felt like if she did, it would
reach him up in Heaven, too.
[09:13] Chizuru
But then she fell ill...
[09:16] Chizuru
For a while, I thought it was over.
[09:20] Chizuru
I wasn't passing any auditions, either...
[09:23] Chizuru
It seemed like I wasn't
going to make it in time.
[09:27] Kazuya
Mizuhara...
[09:29] Chizuru
So it made me really happy.
[09:34] Chizuru
When you suggested making a movie together,
[09:37] Chizuru
I was really, really happy.
[09:42] Chizuru
Thank you.
[09:43] Chizuru
I realized that I hadn't
expressed my gratitude yet.
[09:49] Chizuru
I'm going to repay you with my acting.
[10:04] Kazuya
Scene 172, Cut 1.
[10:07] Kazuya
Action!
[10:09] Kazuya
To be honest, after that...
[10:13] Kazuya
I broke down crying.
[10:15] Kazuya
I desperately wiped the tears caused
by Mizuhara's feelings and my joy,
[10:20] Kazuya
and stared at the monitor with all I had.
[10:23] Kazuya
"Are the exposure settings correct?"
[10:24] Chizuru
Wow, what a beautiful starry sky.
[10:25] Kazuya
"Is the mic working as it should?"
[10:28] Kazuya
My mind was full of such thoughts, but...
[10:31] Kazuya
More than anything,
[10:33] Kazuya
Mizuhara shone brighter
in this shot than ever before.
[10:36] Chizuru
I wish I could blend in with this sky...
[10:40] Kazuya
Making this movie for her
was the right decision.
[10:44] Kazuya
In that moment, I was convinced.
[10:50] (Flashback) Chizuru
But, Grandpa, you're gonna die.
SIGN I may be
immortal
[10:52] (Flashback) Katsuhito
I don't know about that.
[10:54] (Flashback) Chizuru
Everybody dies.
SIGN Blep
[10:58] (Flashback) Chizuru
And you drink so much.
[10:59] (Flashback) Katsuhito
Booze can cure anything, don't you know?
[11:02] (Flashback) Chizuru
You used to smoke, too.
[11:04] (Flashback) Katsuhito
H-Hey, I quit.
[11:07] (Flashback) Chizuru
It's not like you can live till you're 200.
[11:09] (Flashback) Chizuru
So saying you'll cheer me on until
I become an actress is irresponsible.
[11:17] (Flashback) Katsuhito
Irresponsible, eh? Maybe so.
SIGN He's
laughing...
[11:21] (Flashback) Katsuhito
But even so, Chizuru, you must believe!
[11:23] (Flashback) Katsuhito
If you face forward and believe
in your dream coming true,
[11:30] Katsuhito
someone will surely show up
[11:32] Katsuhito
and be your pillar of support!
SIGN So long as you don't give up, a path will definitely appear before you.
SIGN Please

[11:51] (Flashback) Chizuru
I was really, really happy.
[11:56] Kazuya
Mizuhara was...
SIGN Relocated to
the outdoor bath
[11:58] Kazuya
so damn cute...
SIGN Spacing out
[12:03] Kazuya
She wore a dazzling smile,
bathed in the light of this starlit sky...
SIGN I know she was
acting, but...
[12:08] Kazuya
She was a beauty straight out of a movie.
SIGN Given her
talents
[12:12] Kazuya
That's it for our movie-making adventure.
[12:15] Kazuya
Now she's gonna take flight
to a stage beyond my reach.
SIGN Blub Glub
SIGN I hate it...
[12:25] Kazuya
What am I thinking?!
SIGN Splash
SIGN This
experience?
Priceless!!
[12:28] Kazuya
Someone like me getting to make
a movie with her is fairy tale enough!
[12:34] Kazuya
I had no idea about Mizuhara's past.
[12:38] Kazuya
But now I understand...
[12:41] Kazuya
why she made that face back then.
[12:44] Kazuya
Three years isn't even that long ago.
[12:48] Kazuya
She must've held it in and just
kept on trucking since then.
[12:54] (Flashback) Chizuru
They all fill the void in their heart
with work or significant others.
[12:59] (Flashback) Sayuri
Chizuru's a little awkward in recognizing
and accepting her weakness.
[13:05] Kazuya
Mizuhara...

She must be exhausted.
[14:06] Kazuya
I should sleep, too.
SIGN Sniffle...
SIGN Kinda sad
for some
reason
[14:12] Kazuya
Huh? I might actually be able to fall asleep.
[14:15] Kazuya
I was under quite a bit of
pressure, too, I guess.
[14:19] Kazuya
Mizuhara...
[14:20] Kazuya
Lit up by the stars and moonlight,
she looked almost like a forest elf.
[14:26] Kazuya
Was I able to do it?
[14:29] Kazuya
Did I help her out a little?
[14:33] Kazuya
Did I... help...
[15:11] (Flashback) Katsuhito
...someone will surely show up
[15:14] (Flashback) Katsuhito
and be your pillar of support!
[15:18] (Flashback) Kazuya
Let's make a movie together!
[15:30] Chizuru
This sucks so much.
[15:34] Chizuru
Why am I the one having trouble falling asleep?
SIGN Please
remove
slippers
before
the

[16:08] Chizuru
Nothing beats a morning bath.
[16:14] Kazuya
Man, I slept like a log all through the night.
[16:18] Kazuya
And Mizuhara was gone when I woke up.
SIGN A bath?
SIGN My night with
Mizuhara felt like it
lasted a whole minute...
[16:21] Kazuya
That was quite the letdown.
[16:24] Kazuya
Of course it was! We were here to shoot!
[16:27] Chizuru
Thank you very much.

Anyway, Mizuhara's fashion
doesn't get mornings off, huh?
[16:50] Kazuya

and an ultra-pretty girl in a dress?
SIGN Way too
picturesque
[16:55] Kazuya
What is this, some kinda classic anime?
SIGN Jolt!!
SIGN No way...
[16:57] Kazuya

[17:04] Kazuya
The food was great, and did you see
that view from the open-air bath?!
SIGN Small talk
[17:08] Kazuya
Wasn't it incredible?
[17:09] Chizuru
Yeah. It might be the ideal place
to bring your real girlfriend.
[17:14] Kazuya
Huh?
[17:15] Kazuya
Hah, no kidding!
[17:19] Kazuya
Wait, is what that lady said bothering her?
[17:23] Chizuru
How are things with Ruka-chan?
[17:26] Chizuru
You two doing well?
[17:27] Chizuru
I may have thrown a wrench in the works,
[17:31] Chizuru
but as long as I'm your "girlfriend,"
[17:33] Chizuru
I won't forget my goal of getting you one.
[17:37] Chizuru
Everyone needs time to stop
and sort out their feelings.
[17:40] Chizuru
Your trial period seems to be going great,
[17:43] Chizuru
and Granny Nagomi has
taken a liking to her, right?
[17:47] Kazuya
I prefer you, though.
[17:51] Kazuya
Yeah, she's a great girl.
[17:53] Kazuya
Just the fact that she says she likes
a guy like me makes her an angel.
[17:58] Kazuya
She even helped out with the movie.
[18:02] Kazuya
But I've decided not to lie to my folks anymore.
[18:07] Kazuya
The next "girlfriend" I introduce to them
[18:08] Kazuya
will be one I love from the bottom of my heart.
[18:13] Chizuru
What about Mami-san?
[18:16] Kazuya
Honestly, I don't know myself.
I haven't even heard from her in ages.
[18:22] Kazuya
Given how pretty she is, she's probably
gotten herself another guy already.
[18:27] Kazuya
And I do want her to be happy, so...
[18:32] Chizuru
This won't be easy, huh?
[18:34] Kazuya
Nope.
SIGN My apologies
[18:36] Kazuya
She's been worried about me, huh?
[18:40] Kazuya
Not like she didn't have her hands
full with her acting stuff already.
[18:44] Kazuya
Anyway, the movie project is over now.
[18:47] Kazuya
Tabuse-san's team will
handle the editing process.
[18:50] Kazuya
I won't be seeing Mizuhara
as frequently anymore.
[18:53] Kazuya
It's sad... but this was lots of fun.
[18:58] Kazuya
Sharing a common vision with
Mizuhara and everyone else,
SIGN Please
take one
SIGN Please back
our project
[19:01] Kazuya
working toward the same goal...
[19:03] Kazuya
I don't know if I'll ever throw myself into
something like I did with this movie.
[19:10] Kazuya
I'm so happy I got to have such
a fulfilling period in my life.

She must be exhausted.
[19:48] Kazuya
She's been carrying the weight of her
grandpa, her grandma, and her own dreams...
[19:54] Kazuya
All on these tiny shoulders...
[19:58] Kazuya
I love you, Mizuhara.

You two think you can just come home
the morning after and call it good?!
[20:35] Ruka
You leave your girlfriend back
home and do this? How nasty!
[20:38] Chizuru
R-Ruka-chan?
[20:40] Kazuya
What are you doing here?
[20:41] Ruka
Something sounded off
during our call yesterday,
[20:43] Ruka
so I questioned Yaemori-san,
and she spilled the truth!
[20:46] Kazuya
So you came all the way to Iiyama?!

Oh, you think you can wear a white dress now?

Kazuya-kun, you're staying
another night with me, okay?!
[21:05] Kazuya
What? Not happening!
[21:07] Ruka
It is happening!
[21:08] Ruka
We'll do everything you did
with Chizuru-san, times 100!
[21:11] Kazuya
Again, we did nothing!
[21:13] Ruka
A likely story!
[21:14] Ruka
You two are a grown man and woman!
[21:16] Kazuya
Seriously, we just came here to shoot!
[21:19] Kazuya
You tell her, too, Mizuhara!
[21:21] Chizuru
I need the restroom.
[21:23] Kazuya
Mizuhara?!
[21:37] Kazuya
C-Calm down, Ruka-chan.
[21:40] Kazuya
I can't do another night.
[21:41] Ruka
But why?!

After you stayed in the same
room with Chizuru-san?!
SIGN Your answer,

SIGN On a trial basis, but...
[21:49] Kazuya
This was all a setup by Yaemori-san!
[21:52] Kazuya
We're out of funds, too.
And I've got plans this evening!
[21:59] Ruka
Then make me a promise.
[22:02] Ruka
On August 26th,
[22:04] Ruka
my birthday, you'll give me anything I desire.

[03:50] Kazuya
My nerves are about to fry!
[03:53] Kazuya
I can't. I can't look at Ruka-chan straight!
[03:53] Ruka
A friend of mine came here before and
let me know there was a really pretty pool!

Not money, right?
SIGN Rental GF

[09:13] Ruka
My gift. I figured it was about time.
SIGN The birthday date
is coming to an end
[09:16] Kazuya
Huh? I didn't get you one.
[09:21] Ruka
You jerk!
[09:21] Kazuya
Ow, ow!
[09:23] Ruka
Why?!
[09:24] Ruka
It's your girlfriend's first birthday
since you started dating!
[09:26] Ruka
Who in their right mind
would come empty-handed?!
[09:29] Kazuya
But giving you a gift would only
give you the wrong idea...
[09:33] Ruka
What am I supposed to tell my friends?!
SIGN My BF believes in
"for the exposure"!
[09:36] Kazuya
You told your friends about this?!
SIGN What does that
even mean?!
[09:38] Ruka
I've lost all appetite now.

[09:55] Ruka
And the sea breeze feels great!
[09:59] Kazuya
Now the ocean?
[10:00] Kazuya
We're going through the
full course of date spots.
[10:06] Kazuya
I've thought about this before,
[10:08] Kazuya
but the seaside at night is so full
of couples, it's kinda scandalous.
[10:13] Kazuya
Did you plan for this?
[10:15] Ruka
Wh-Whatever could you mean?!
[10:16] Kazuya
Is she playing dumb?
[10:19] Kazuya
I knew it!
[10:20] Kazuya
She was plotting something!
[10:23] (Flashback) Ruka
You two think you can just come home
the morning after and call it good?!
[10:27] Kazuya
She must really be feeling
the pressure due to Mizuhara.
[10:32] Kazuya
Hey, uh, I'm sorry.
[10:34] Kazuya
I know we started dating as a trial,
[10:36] Kazuya
but I was the one who brought
it all on by lying to people.
[10:39] Kazuya
And it was obvious what happened the other
day would trample all over your feelings.
[10:45] Kazuya
On top of that, I made you try so hard today.
[10:48] Kazuya
When, really, you don't have to go
out of your way for a guy like me.
[10:55] Kazuya
Ow! Huh?
[10:56] Ruka
I don't see it as going out of my way.
[11:00] Ruka
Don't get all condescending on me.
[11:02] Ruka
True, I don't completely
trust you and Chizuru-san,
[11:06] Ruka
and watching you two does make me worry,
[11:09] Ruka
but today's not about that.
[11:12] Kazuya
Then why?
[11:15] Ruka
It was my dream. Is that not enough?
[11:19] Ruka
I'm a girly girl at heart. I do want
the princess treatment on my birthday.
[11:25] Ruka
And you're the one for me.
[11:28] Ruka
The one and only,
who I've waited to meet all my life.
[11:31] Ruka
So what if I think of my first boyfriend
as a prince who'll grant me my wishes?
[11:37] Ruka
Is that weird?
[11:40] Kazuya
No, it's not.
[11:41] Ruka
Right?
[11:44] Kazuya
Damn, she's a total angel.
[11:47] Kazuya
And I'm a real asshole.
[11:49] Kazuya
What she's asking for is nothing out
of the ordinary for a birthday girl,
[11:54] Kazuya
and yet I got all conceited,
trying to read between the lines.
[11:57] Kazuya
I've been leading this extremely
nice girl on for so long...
[12:01] Kazuya
I still feel bad, though.
[12:04] Kazuya
I dragged you into the movie project, too...
[12:11] Ruka
Kazuya-kun, do you like the
Yamanote Line or the Chuo Line more?
[12:16] Kazuya
Huh?
[12:17] Kazuya
Wait, what? What is she talking about?
SIGN Chuo Line
SIGN Yamanote Line
[12:20] Kazuya
Has she suddenly lost her mind?
[12:22] Kazuya
The Chuo Line, I guess?
[12:23] Ruka
Is that so...
[12:25] Kazuya
That's it?!
[12:26] Kazuya
Did I give the wrong answer?
[12:28] Ruka
This one time, I wanted to
spend longer on the train,
[12:32] Ruka
so I took the Yamanote Line on purpose.
[12:35] Ruka
Shinjuku to Tokyo only takes
15 minutes on the Chuo Line,
[12:39] Ruka
but I rode the Yamanote Line
for 35 minutes instead.
[12:43] Kazuya
Ruka-chan...
[12:44] Ruka
I really thought I was doing
something pointless...
[12:48] Ruka
Temporarily, at least.
[12:54] Ruka
Nishi-Nippori.
[12:56] Ruka
In spring, the riverbank to the south there
is full of blooming sakura trees.
[13:01] Ruka
I fell in love with Nishi-Nippori right then.
[13:05] Ruka
Ever since, I've been taking the Yamanote
Line the long way around in spring.
[13:09] Kazuya
Ruka-chan...
[13:10] Ruka
It may seem pointless at first,
[13:12] Ruka
but taking a detour can bring you
wonderful new encounters and experiences.
[13:17] Ruka
I felt the same way about the movie, too.
[13:20] Ruka
"Why am I even doing this," I thought.
[13:22] Ruka
I did sympathize with
Chizuru-san and her grandma,
[13:26] Ruka
but my main motive was to
not leave the two of you alone.
[13:30] Ruka
But then, the filming started.
[13:31] Ruka
I saw the staff,
[13:33] Ruka
you,
[13:34] Ruka
and Chizuru-san all working so hard...
[13:38] Ruka
And it made my heart race, too.
[13:43] Ruka
So please don't apologize.
[13:46] Ruka
I, Sarashina Ruka,
had an amazing time helping out!
[13:50] Kazuya
Ruka-chan!
[13:52] Ruka
Let's go. Your pants are gonna get dirty.
[13:56] Kazuya
So in the end, Ruka-chan wasn't trying
to compete with Mizuhara today,
[14:01] Kazuya
and she did have fun shooting the movie.
[14:04] Kazuya
She must be a more pure-hearted
girl than I ever thought.
[14:09] Kazuya
Who could've ever imagined that
my life would come to this?
SIGN This girl is my girlfriend?
I don't deserve her.
[14:20] Ruka
Hey, can we hold hands?
[14:22] Kazuya
Y-Yeah, sure.
[14:28] Kazuya
This is bad!
[14:29] Kazuya
After seeing her act so cute earlier,
my imagination is gonna go berserk!
[14:34] Kazuya
Ruka-chan's being so sweet today.
[14:37] Kazuya
She's not her usual wild self, just your
everyday girl who happens to be super pretty!
[14:42] Kazuya
I really want to hold her tight!
[14:45] Guy
Here. For our first anniversary.
[14:47] Girl
Really? Thank you!
[14:53] Kazuya
Huh? What's wrong, Ruka-chan?
[14:56] Ruka
On second thought,
I really do want a gift, too.
[14:59] Kazuya
R-Right? I get it! I'm so sorry!
[15:02] Kazuya
But I didn't get you anything.
[15:04] Kazuya
I sound like a huge jerk, even to myself.
[15:06] Ruka
I'm not asking for anything material.
Just permission.
[15:10] Kazuya
P-Permission? Does that mean what I think...
[15:13] Ruka
You never bring it up, so I...
[15:17] Kazuya
Wait, timeout!
[15:18] Kazuya
Wait!
[15:18] Ruka
I've been holding back forever.
[15:20] Kazuya
If she comes at me now, I can't refuse!
SIGN Holding back?
Sounds lewd!
[15:24] Ruka
Kazuya-kun...
[15:25] Ruka
May I call you "Kazuya" from now on?
[15:30] Kazuya
Huh?
SIGN We're not talking
about kissing?
[15:31] Kazuya
K... Kazuya?
[15:34] Kazuya
B-But why?
[15:35] Ruka
I've always dreamed of being a couple
who speak casually to each other.
SIGN Is that so bad?
[15:39] Ruka
All my friends at school do it, too.
SIGN With their
boyfriends
[15:43] Kazuya
Yeah, addressing each other
casually is super couple-like,
[15:47] Kazuya
but we're still in a trial period...
SIGN Is this...
really okay?
[15:50] Kazuya
Eh, what's in a name?
[15:53] Kazuya
Sure, that's fine.
[15:55] Ruka
Y-You mean it?!
[15:56] Kazuya
Y-Yeah, no point overthinking
what we call each other.
[16:03] Ruka
Kazuya!
[16:04] Kazuya
Y-Yeah.
[16:08] Ruka
Kazuya!
[16:09] Kazuya
Wh-What is it?
[16:12] Ruka
Kazuya!
[16:18] Kazuya
It's late, so I'll walk you home.
[16:20] Ruka
Thanks, Kazuya.
[16:22] Kazuya
Did you always use my name so frequently?
[16:24] Ruka
What do you mean, Kazuya?
[16:26] Kazuya
Oh, well, no biggie.
[16:28] Ruka
Don't worry about it, Kazuya!
[16:30] Ruka
Now I've taken the lead over Chizuru-san!
[16:32] Kazuya
Yo.

I really appreciate it.

[17:00] Sayuri
That's my dear granddaughter.
[17:02] Chizuru
It's part of the job.
[17:04] Chizuru
Should you be up right now?
[17:06] Chizuru
You seemed to be in so much pain last weekend.
[17:08] Sayuri
Don't dig up the distant past.
[17:11] Chizuru
Um, it was three days ago?
[17:13] Sayuri
That's the distant past.
[17:15] Chizuru
I hope I can be like you when I'm 77.
[17:19] Chizuru
The skies really cleared up, huh?
[17:21] Chizuru
The forecast said there was
a 70% chance of rain.
[17:24] Sayuri
I'm blessed by the weather gods, you see.
[17:26] Chizuru
This again?
[17:28] Sayuri

[17:30] Sayuri
It was pouring the day you were born, too.
[17:33] Sayuri

[17:35] Sayuri
But it all stopped when I reached the hospital!
[17:38] Chizuru
Stop talking about that. It's depressing.
SIGN Birthday downpour
[17:40] Sayuri
It's tough being an actress loved by the rain.
[17:44] Chizuru
I'll become one who looks great in the rain.
[17:46] Sayuri
The rain gods loved Kasumi, too.
[17:48] Sayuri
It rained on all her important days—entrance
exams, coming-of-age ceremony, wedding.
[17:53] Sayuri
Katsuhito-san would have to drive her,
and she'd look up at the sky and frown.
[17:58] Sayuri
She was like you in a lot of ways:
pretty, considerate, and fashionable.
[18:05] Sayuri
But she put me, her own mother,
through the pain of having to see her funeral.
[18:13] Chizuru
Rest assured, I'll live longer than you.
[18:17] Sayuri
Oh, you're talking impossible dreams now?
[18:20] Sayuri

Get some rest.
[18:33] Chizuru
S-Sumi-chan?!
[18:37] Chizuru
What? You helped hand out flyers?!
[18:40] Chizuru
And you saw me walk into the hospital
and decided to visit my grandma?
SIGN That's so like you.
[18:45] Chizuru
He never mentioned this to me!
SIGN We've caused so much trouble
to so many people...
SIGN I saw that the crowdfunding project hit
its goal. How's the movie coming along?
SIGN I've been wondering
[18:51] Chizuru
Oh, good. Shooting wrapped up the other day.
[18:55] Chizuru
We also have a date for the screening.
[18:57] Chizuru
It's being edited now.
[19:01] Chizuru
Yeah. Thanks, Sumi-chan.
[19:07] Chizuru
Oh, we're doing this again? Yeah, thanks.
SIGN Kazuya-kun
was giving it his all.
SIGN He wanted so badly
to do something to help you
and your grandmother.
SIGN Even after starting the crowdfunding
project, he got so close to
giving up so many times...
SIGN But he got back
on his feet each time,
all for you.
SIGN You two couldn't have done this without each other.
SIGN Without your desire
SIGN and his support.
SIGN You did this together!
[19:33] Sumi
Congrats!
[19:36] Chizuru
Yeah.
[19:37] Chizuru
Thanks, Sumi-chan.
[19:41] Chizuru

[19:51] Chizuru

[19:52] Chizuru
Flowers for you. From Sumi-chan.
[19:54] Sayuri
How sweet. Thank you.
[19:59] Sumi
See you.
[20:00] Chizuru
Yeah, see you!
[20:06] Sayuri
It's so strange.
[20:09] Sayuri
Your overly serious and unapproachable nature
used to be part of what made you special.
[20:12] Sayuri
But since you started dating Kazuya-kun,
[20:14] Sayuri
there are suddenly a lot
more people in your life.
[20:18] Chizuru
It's not like that. And don't make me
sound like some kind of loner.
[20:22] Sayuri
What, are you not?
[20:23] Chizuru
I'm just busy! I have friends, okay?!
[20:26] Sayuri
You're making your movie in
a big group, too. Sounds like fun.
[20:30] Chizuru
So, about that...
[20:33] Sayuri
Screening?!
[20:35] Sayuri
Of course I'll go!
[20:36] Sayuri
It's nearly complete, huh? I can't wait!
SIGN I'll get permission
to go out
[20:39] Chizuru
Yeah.
[20:40] Sayuri
So you finished shooting, then.
[20:42] Sayuri
Kazuya-kun must've worked so hard.
[20:44] Chizuru
Of course he did. He's the producer.
[20:47] Chizuru
If he couldn't complete it after dragging
so many people in, it'd be a disaster.
[20:51] Sayuri
Do you really think so? I believe he
must've put his heart and soul into it.
[20:56] Chizuru
That's because you didn't see what went on!
[20:58] Chizuru
Like, he didn't even understand
how cameras worked at first!
[21:02] Chizuru
We had no semblance of a script,
and yet he insisted he could get it done.
[21:08] Chizuru
He couldn't even get permission for
the crowdfunding project initially,
[21:11] Chizuru
and had to make so many revisions,
he wasn't even eating right for a while.
[21:15] Chizuru
It was so bad,
he could've collapsed at any time.
[21:18] Chizuru
And later, I don't know if we could've gotten
anywhere without our neighbor's help.
[21:22] Chizuru
He's just too reckless,
with no foresight or risk assessment skills!
[21:25] Chizuru
Listen to this! When filming paused
because of a noisy cicada,
[21:29] Chizuru
he fell off a bridge trying to chase it off!
[21:31] Chizuru
It was, like, five meters high!
[21:33] Chizuru
Good thing there was a river below,
[21:35] Chizuru
because he could've gotten
seriously hurt otherwise!
[21:38] Chizuru
And then he was dripping wet and
had the whole crew worried about him.
[21:41] Chizuru
He had to change, but we only
had women's clothing on set.
[21:45] Chizuru
In the end, he had to
crossdress all the way home!
[21:53] Sayuri
Chizuru.
[21:55] Sayuri
Do you know when true love begins?
[21:58] Chizuru
Huh?
[22:00] Sayuri
It's when you're having the time
of your life talking about them.
[22:10] Chizuru
It's not like that.

Ahem.
SIGN Staaare
SIGN Death stare
[04:30] Ruka
Death stare...
[04:33] Kazuya
Wha? Ruka-chan?!
[04:34] Kazuya
Wh-What are you doing here?!
[04:35] Ruka
I just happened to be nearby.
SIGN Perfectly normal for a
girlfriend to drop by, right?
SIGN Right, perfectly normal!
SIGN Staaare
[04:41] Kazuya
This is bad! You just know
it's gonna turn into...
SIGN You Already Have
Me Thunder!!!
[04:44] Ruka
Kazuya-kun, will you die if you're not
surrounded by chicks for one second?!
SIGN There's precedent
(the trip incident) too
[04:48] Kazuya
...that!
[04:49] Mini
I-It's not what you think, Miss Girlfriend.
[04:51] Mini
We weren't leaving you out.
We just happened to...
[04:54] Chizuru
Yeah, Ruka-chan.
Just bumped into each other.
[04:56] Ruka
Oh, don't mind me.
[04:58] Ruka
It doesn't bother me one bit.
[05:01] Ruka
Feel free to carry on your fun little chat.
[05:05] Ruka
Chizuru-san, you're just a rental girlfriend,
[05:07] Ruka
and Yaemori-san's just a neighbor.
[05:10] Ruka
My boyfriend must feel so good,
surrounded by such pretty girls.
[05:15] Ruka
Don't you, Kazuya?
[05:19] Kazuya
Ru... Ruka-chan?!
[05:21] Ruka
Well, I'm Kazuya's girlfriend.
[05:25] Ruka
As long as Kazuya's having fun, I'm good.

[05:41] Ruka
It's a hot day! Let's take a shower together!
[05:42] Kazuya
Ow...
[05:43] Kazuya
No shower—ow!
[05:44] Ruka
To-ge-ther!
[05:46] Mini
Wha...
SIGN Agape...
[05:48] Mini
Take off your clothes, Mizuhara-san!
[05:50] Chizuru
Why?
[05:51] Mini
You gotta make a booty call or something!
SIGN Go on another trip
[05:54] Chizuru
But why?!
[05:56] Chizuru
What she calls him is up to the two of them.
SIGN I don't know what
you're imagining, but
[05:58] Chizuru
They're dating, so it's no big deal.
SIGN So what if she
calls him by name?
[06:00] Mini
Yeah, but...
[06:01] Chizuru
Almost forgot I was doing laundry.
SIGN Slam
[06:08] Mini
Mizuhara-san's like the kind of last boss
that's immune to physical damage.
[06:14] Chizuru
What the heck are they thinking?
[06:17] Chizuru
It's just a name, but they're
making a big deal out of it.
[06:21] Chizuru
It's normal. Perfectly normal.
[06:27] Chizuru
Kazuya...
[06:31] Chizuru
What the hell was that? Am I stupid?!
[06:35] Ruka
Kazuya!
[06:36] Kazuya
Hey! What do you think you're doing?!
[06:46] Chizuru
There he is.
[06:50] Chizuru
Good morning.
[06:50] Kazuya
Morning.
SIGN You've grown even
more handsome
[06:51] Sayuri
Good to see you again, Kazuya-kun.
[06:54] Kazuya
I-I'm glad to see you're doing all right!
SIGN Y-You think so?
[06:56] Chizuru
Sorry, when I said we were checking
the place out, she insisted on coming.
SIGN She got permission to come out
[07:00] Kazuya
Don't be. Can't expect everything
to go right on the day, so it helps.
SIGN Let's just call it
a rehearsal
[07:04] Sayuri
I'm so happy I could come. I was so excited.
SIGN I'll leave you two
lovebirds alone later ♥
[07:07] Sayuri
Sorry to intrude on your
time together, though.
[07:11] Kazuya
I-I don't know about that!
[07:14] Kazuya
Mizuhara's as cute as ever.
SIGN Phones,
modern devices
to help you
avert your eyes
[07:17] Chizuru
Here, water.
[07:17] Kazuya
A granddaughter taking
good care of her grandma...
[07:18] Sayuri
Thanks.
SIGN It's like some
kinda movie plot
[07:20] Kazuya
She sure shines in the role!
[07:24] Chizuru
What, aren't you coming?
[07:25] Kazuya
Huh? Oh, yeah, gimme a sec!
[07:28] Sayuri
Wow, is this the screen?!
[07:32] Staff
It has 200 seats in total,
[07:33] Staff
and is the third-largest
screen in our cinema.
[07:36] Kazuya
The place will be packed
with backers on the day.
[07:41] Kazuya
Sayuri-san can stay in her wheelchair
[07:44] Kazuya
and watch the movie
together with Chizuru-san.
[07:47] Kazuya
We'll make arrangements to allow for that.
[07:49] Chizuru
I see. Thanks.
[07:51] Kazuya
We can't play the movie right now,
[07:53] Kazuya
but the editing is coming along smoothly
and will be completed by the 30th.
SIGN Shake Shake
[07:58] Chizuru
Grandma?!
[07:59] Sayuri
Wow! I mean, 200 people?!
[08:03] Sayuri
You'll be on that massive screen,
and all eyes will be on you!
SIGN Why aren't you
getting hyped?!
[08:07] Chizuru
That's kinda what movies are.
[08:10] Sayuri
So cynical.
[08:12] Sayuri
But I really can't wait.
[08:14] Sayuri
I want to see how spectacular
you'll look on that screen.
[08:18] Kazuya
Huh?
[08:20] Chizuru
Hey, Grandma!
[08:21] Sayuri
What?
[08:22] Sayuri
Oh, dearie me.
[08:24] Chizuru
Here, a hanky.
[08:26] Sayuri
It almost felt like you
were up there already.
[08:32] Sayuri
It's so strange. I feel like
I've already watched the movie.
[08:37] Chizuru
So overblown. I'm going to the restroom.
[08:40] Kazuya
Okay.
[08:56] Sayuri
Thank you, Kazuya-kun.
[09:00] Sayuri
I wouldn't have gotten to see Chizuru
on the screen if not for you.
[09:05] Sayuri
You have my utmost gratitude.
[09:08] Sayuri
Both Chizuru and I are truly blessed
to have you as part of our lives.
[09:14] Kazuya
Sayuri-san...
[09:16] Kazuya
We've been lying to such a
lovely person for so long...
[09:20] Sayuri
I need to find a way to pay you back.
[09:23] Kazuya
Oh, you don't have to.
[09:24] Sayuri
Don't say that! I'd feel terrible!
SIGN You've done
so much for us.
[09:27] Sayuri
I'll make sure she shows you
a good time in kind, as well.
SIGN A good
time...?
[09:32] Kazuya
I'm happy just being by
Mizuhara's side, though.
[09:37] Kazuya
Chizuru-san will always be out of my league.
[09:42] Kazuya
I don't know why she hangs
around a guy like me...
[09:45] Kazuya
Why she's... dating me.
[09:48] Kazuya
It makes absolutely no sense.
[09:50] Kazuya
I'd totally understand if she grew sick
of me at any time, even tomorrow.
[09:54] Sayuri
Kazuya-kun...
[09:56] Sayuri
You're wrong! You two are a perfect match!
SIGN Made for each other!
SIGN Maybe we are
[09:59] Kazuya
Y-You think so?
[10:02] Kazuya
But lately, I've made my peace with it.
[10:07] Kazuya
In my eyes, she's a prodigy.
[10:10] Kazuya
And she works incredibly hard on top of that.
[10:14] Kazuya
Getting to be a part of her dream like this...
[10:16] Kazuya
It's the first time in my life I've ever
felt like I've achieved something.
[10:22] Kazuya
A world where she doesn't get everything
she ever wants would be messed up.
[10:28] Kazuya
I want to always be there for her,
even if it's not as her boyfriend.
[10:32] Kazuya
She's more important to me than that.
[10:38] Sayuri
Say it one more time.
[10:41] Sayuri
I forgot to record it!
SIGN Voice memo
SIGN Voice memo
SIGN Chizuru needs to hear this
[10:43] Kazuya
Oh, please!
SIGN No need for that!!
[10:45] Kazuya
Shall we get going?
SIGN I'll grab some coffee
on the way back
[10:56] Kazuya
I need to hit the restroom, too.
SIGN Hot coffee for me
[10:59] Chizuru
Let's wait here.
[11:00] Sayuri
Chizuru.
[11:03] Sayuri
There's something I need to ask you.
[11:05] Chizuru
Huh? What's this all about, all of a sudden?
[11:10] Sayuri
Chizuru, is chasing your dream
making you suffer?
[11:16] Sayuri
Are you not forcing yourself out of some
sense of obligation toward the two of us?
[11:22] (Flashback) Chizuru
Stop telling me my dreams will come true!
[11:32] Chizuru
Oh, is that all?
[11:34] Chizuru
In that case, I'm fine.
[11:36] Chizuru
Sure, there are ups and downs,
[11:38] Chizuru
but I enjoy having a dream to chase,
and that won't change.
[11:44] Chizuru
Actually, let me go help him with the coffee.
[11:49] (Flashback) Sayuri
Why would you tell her
she can be an actress?!
[11:52] (Flashback) Sayuri
I'm against this!
Encouraging her is irresponsible!
[11:56] (Flashback) Katsuhito
Aw, what's the big deal? I love ya, Sayuri!
[11:59] (Flashback) Sayuri
And I hate you!
[12:01] (Flashback) Katsuhito
I'm on Chizuru's side!
[12:04] (Flashback) Katsuhito
Dreams come true!
[12:05] (Flashback) Sayuri
I've heard that enough for a lifetime!
[12:07] (Flashback) Sayuri
Acting is a truly exclusive club!
[12:10] (Flashback) Sayuri
It's not something you can get into
just because you want to!
[12:13] (Flashback) Katsuhito
So, what, dreams don't come true?
[12:16] (Flashback) Sayuri
Huh?
[12:17] (Flashback) Sayuri
I'm sure some dreams do come true,
but that's a separate issue!
[12:23] (Flashback) Sayuri
Whether it's realistic
or not isn't what matters.
[12:26] (Flashback) Sayuri
Dreams can come true.
[12:28] (Flashback) Sayuri
That ray of hope can show one the way
to get through this cruel world.
[12:34] (Flashback) Sayuri
So what's the problem with
having one person, just one,
[12:38] (Flashback) Sayuri
around who tells you that
your dream can come true?
[12:41] (Flashback) Sayuri
Katsuhito-san...
[12:43] (Flashback) Katsuhito
But, Sayuri...
[12:45] (Flashback) Katsuhito
If I die before you, I
need you to ask Chizuru.
[12:51] (Flashback) Katsuhito
Is chasing your dream making you suffer?
[12:55] (Flashback) Katsuhito
Has my encouragement become a burden to you?
[12:59] (Flashback) Katsuhito
I don't want to see Chizuru in pain,
not even for a second.
[13:04] Sayuri
You win, Katsuhito-san.
[13:09] Sayuri
Chizuru was a far stronger girl
than I could ever imagine.
[13:13] Sayuri
She's now a fine lady who enjoys chasing her
dreams, and no reality can drag her down.
[13:19] Sayuri
Are you seeing this, Katsuhito-san?
She's going to be in a movie.
[13:24] Sayuri
Her face will be all over the silver screen,
[13:28] Sayuri
with her acting her heart out,
[13:31] Sayuri
surrounded by an audience who
will no doubt give her a big hand.
[13:37] Sayuri
She'll then put on her usual bashful smile and bow to them as thanks.
[13:42] Sayuri
Gosh, it's enough to make an old woman blush.
[13:45] Sayuri
She'll be shining like a true star,
don't you think?
[13:50] Sayuri
The decision you made back then
has proven to be the right one.
[13:53] Sayuri
Do you see this?
[13:56] Sayuri
Are you watching, Katsuhito-san?
[14:06] Kazuya
Of all the embarrassing
things to say, again...
SIGN I'm not even her BF
[14:09] Kazuya
Anyway, there was no issue
during the scouting.
[14:12] Kazuya
And they say the edit
will be finished soon...
[14:16] Kazuya
She'll get to see it, for real!
[14:21] Kazuya
Hm? Huh?
[14:22] Kazuya
M-Mizuhara?
[14:24] Kazuya
You were waiting for me?!
[14:27] Kazuya
Why is Mizuhara here?
What is this, an ambush?
SIGN We're not on a
rental date or anything
[14:30] Chizuru
Grandma was over the moon.
[14:32] Kazuya
O-Oh, that's good to hear.
[14:34] Chizuru
So I wanted to thank you again.
[14:41] Chizuru
I'll go ahead and grab the coffee!
[14:47] Crowd
Huh? Hey, look!
[14:49] Crowd
Do we need an ambulance?
[14:51] Crowd
Is she okay?
[14:52] Crowd
What about her family? Are they around?
[14:55] Crowd
Someone go find them.
[14:57] Crowd
Is anyone here related to her?
[14:58] Crowd
Either way, we should
really call an ambulance!
[15:01] Crowd
Who knows what's happened to her?!
[15:04] Crowd
Are you okay? Can you hear me?
SIGN What matters is believing in yourself.
[15:34] (Flashback) Crowd
Somebody, anybody!
[15:40] (Flashback) Kazuya
Granny Sayuri!
[15:41] (Flashback) Kazuya
Somebody call an ambulance!
[15:43] Kazuya
No... She's not responding!
[15:45] (Flashback) Kazuya
Mizuhara, let the hospital know!
[15:53] (Flashback) Kazuya
Mizuhara...
[16:02] Kazuya
Why...
[16:03] Kazuya
Why did this happen?
[16:05] Kazuya
Did we put her in danger by showing
her around? How's she doing now?
[16:09] Kazuya
What's going on with Granny Sayuri
and Mizuhara right now?
[16:12] Kazuya
I've never seen Mizuhara like that before...
[16:22] Kazuya
Mizuhara, how is she?
[16:25] Kazuya
She's fine, right?
She seemed okay earlier today.
[16:27] Kazuya
She'll recover like last time, right?
[16:29] Chizuru
Not looking good.
[16:32] Chizuru
The doctor said it's not likely
she'll recover from this.
[16:37] Chizuru
Tonight is make or break.
[16:41] Chizuru
Looks like she was really
pushing herself earlier.
[16:44] Kazuya
Not looking good? Tonight's make or break?
[16:48] Kazuya
She's... Granny Sayuri's gonna die?
[16:52] Kazuya
No way! You gotta be kidding me!
[16:57] Kazuya
Mizuhara...
[16:58] Kazuya
I, uh... I don't know what to say.
[17:02] Chizuru
I'm sorry.
[17:06] Chizuru
I had you make a whole movie for me,
but I don't think she'll get to see it.
[17:13] Chizuru
I'm grateful to you.
[17:16] Chizuru
Thanks to you, I can tell myself
I did everything I could for her.
[17:21] Chizuru
I'd be lying if I said I'm not frustrated
by this, but I have no regrets.
[17:23] Kazuya
What? What the hell is she talking about?
[17:27] Kazuya
There's not a single person on this earth
who wouldn't have regrets here!
[17:32] Kazuya
Then what was with that face?
[17:34] Kazuya
And that one?!
[17:36] Kazuya
You love your grandma with all your heart!
[17:39] Kazuya
That's why you even went along with my lies!
[17:42] Kazuya
She's the only family you have left!
[17:44] Kazuya
You've gotta be insanely sad,
hurt, and devastated!
[17:50] Kazuya
It's the same for the whole movie thing!
[17:52] Kazuya
It was for this day that you
worked as a rental girlfriend,
[17:54] Kazuya
saved up all your money,
lived in that run-down apartment,
[17:58] Kazuya
worked on your acting skills...
[18:00] Kazuya
Day after day after day after day,
you gave it all you had!
[18:04] Kazuya
So why...
[18:08] Kazuya
Why are you putting on a
brave face right now?!
[18:12] Chizuru
Besides, I really don't think
it was all for naught.
[18:15] Chizuru
I learned a lot about crowdfunding,
[18:17] Chizuru
and the movie will boost my portfolio.
[18:21] Chizuru
And I had lots of fun.
[18:23] Chizuru
Making a movie with all these people...
It felt like a school festival all over again.
[18:28] Chizuru
But still...
[18:30] Chizuru
I guess God can play the cruelest tricks.
[18:34] Kazuya
I wonder...
[18:36] Kazuya
If I was her real boyfriend,
[18:39] Kazuya
would I have been able to
comfort her with a hug?
[18:46] Kazuya
You fool!
[18:48] Kazuya
What am I thinking?
[18:50] Kazuya
Mizuhara's the one who's in so much pain!
[18:52] Kazuya
Me crying is just ridiculous!
[18:54] Chizuru
Well, I'll head back in.
[18:57] Kazuya
Okay.
[19:07] Kazuya
Is Granny Sayuri conscious?
[19:10] Chizuru
Huh? Oh...
[19:12] Chizuru
I'm not sure.
[19:13] Chizuru
The doctor says she can hear us,
but she's not responding.
[19:20] Kazuya
Are you okay with this?
[19:22] Kazuya
Are you okay with not telling her about us?
[19:26] Kazuya
Not telling her that we're not a real couple?
[19:29] Chizuru
What?!
[19:30] Chizuru
We've talked about this already!
[19:32] Chizuru
Do you want to cause her pain
in her dying moments?!
[19:35] Kazuya
What about you?
[19:38] Kazuya
Will you be able to get over it?
[19:41] Kazuya
I've been thinking about it
since the last time.
[19:44] Kazuya
Is keeping up the lie in order not to
make her sad really the right decision?
[19:50] Kazuya
In her dying moments,
[19:52] Kazuya
if you keep up the act and continue to
lie to the only family you have left...
[19:57] Kazuya
Will that not leave you with a sense
of guilt for the rest of your life?
[20:02] Kazuya
I'm sure that's not what Granny Sayuri wants.
[20:06] Kazuya
Can you really say she can pass on in peace?
[20:09] Kazuya
Does a lie really count?!
[20:12] Chizuru
It's too late for that.
[20:14] Chizuru
You came to terms with this, too!
[20:16] Kazuya
Y-Yeah, but...
[20:18] Kazuya
This might be our last chance.
[20:25] Chizuru
...you.
[20:29] Chizuru
She might die resenting you.
[20:37] Kazuya
I'm fine with that.
[20:39] Kazuya
I want you to put your feelings first!
[20:46] Chizuru
Ridiculous. It's the least smart thing to do.
[20:50] Chizuru
Nothing pisses me off
more than the "sad reality."
[20:56] Kazuya
Is this really right?
[20:59] Kazuya
Making her sad doesn't help. I get that.
[21:03] Kazuya
Granny Sayuri wouldn't hold it
against us if we told her the truth,
[21:07] Kazuya
and Mizuhara knows that, too.
[21:09] Kazuya
But what she said earlier proved beyond
all doubt that she feels guilty about it.
[21:14] Kazuya
And if she does, and she keeps up the act,
doesn't come clean, and regrets it later,
[21:22] Kazuya
then that is what really
doesn't help in any way at all!
[21:26] Kazuya
I'm sure Granny Sayuri would understand...
[21:29] Kazuya
Screw everything else.
[21:32] Kazuya
Right now, Mizuhara needs to think
about herself first and foremost.
[21:36] Kazuya
After all, there's nothing anyone can do...
[21:39] Kazuya
There's no longer anything I can do for Mizuhara...

[01:47] Chizuru
What a fool. There's nothing to say.
[01:51] Chizuru
Who knows if she can even hear me?
[01:54] Chizuru
Spilling the beans to her in this state
[01:57] Chizuru
is nothing but an ego trip.

And if she can hear me,

[04:25] Chizuru
Look!
[04:27] Chizuru
Constellations are a group, yet alone.
That's what makes them special.
[04:43] Chizuru
That's weird. I can't find my plushie.
[05:01] (Flashback) Chizuru
I wanna be an actress.
[05:03] (Flashback) Chizuru
An actress like Grandma.
[05:05] Chizuru
Two croquettes, please.
[05:07] (Flashback) Katsuhito
You can do it!
[05:08] (Flashback) Katsuhito
You can do it, Chizuru!
[05:09] Chizuru
Mom? Are you not home yet?
[05:11] (Flashback) Katsuhito
...true.
[05:14] (Flashback) Katsuhito
If you wish for it...

SIGN Ichinose Sayuri
[05:46] Chizuru
The stars always stand out,
even in a deep blue sea.
[06:02] Chizuru
She only managed to catch
the first ten minutes, huh?
[06:07] Chizuru
She's been unresponsive with
her eyes closed for an hour now.
[06:12] Chizuru
I'm sure it's just a matter of time...

Kinoshita Kazuya
[06:28] (Flashback) Kazuya
Are you okay with not telling her about us?
[06:48] Chizuru
Why am I thinking about it again?
I'm so stupid.
[06:54] Chizuru
I just don't know...
[06:56] Chizuru
I don't know if I'll regret this
for the rest of my life.
[07:00] Chizuru
How could I know?
[07:02] (Flashback) Kazuya
Can you really say she can pass on in peace?
[07:08] (Flashback) Kazuya
Will that not leave you with a sense
of guilt for the rest of your life?
[07:13] Chizuru
Honestly, I do feel the guilt over this.
[07:16] Chizuru
I say it's for Grandma's sake,
[07:19] Chizuru
but deep down, I just don't want to
feel the pain of disappointing her.
[07:25] Chizuru
But it's the same even if I do tell her.
[07:28] Chizuru
I might regret making her sad
in her dying moments.
[07:34] Chizuru
All it would do is make me feel better.
[07:36] Chizuru
Only an utter fool would pick that option.
[07:40] Chizuru
Actresses are expert liars.
Isn't that right, Grandma?
[07:46] Chizuru
Isn't that right?
[07:49] (Flashback) Sayuri
What? You didn't get
into trouble for being late?
[07:51] (Flashback) Chizuru
Nope!

[07:57] (Flashback) Chizuru
Win-win for all!
[07:58] (Flashback) Sayuri
Where did you find those street smarts?
[08:01] (Flashback) Chizuru
Hey, actresses are expert liars, right?
[08:04] (Flashback) Sayuri
Is that so?
[08:06] (Flashback) Chizuru
What?
[08:07] (Flashback) Sayuri
Listen well, Chizuru.
[08:09] (Flashback) Sayuri
People are made up of 99% lies and 1% truths.
[08:18] (Flashback) Chizuru
Wouldn't know it from your acting.
SIGN Give me back
my son!!
SIGN That was
100% lies
[08:21] (Flashback) Sayuri
Nobody goes through life
without telling a lie or two.
[08:26] (Flashback) Sayuri
But that may be to protect a truth
they've sworn unto themselves.
[08:32] (Flashback) Sayuri
I can't bring myself to say that's wrong.
[08:36] (Flashback) Sayuri
I'm quite fond of these truths.
[08:39] (Flashback) Sayuri
If you can bring just one of them to life,
[08:42] (Flashback) Sayuri
then you're free to tell 99 lies to do it.
[08:47] (Flashback) Sayuri
I believe that that's where
acting's true essence lies.
[08:54] (Flashback) Chizuru
I'm not talking about what's right or wrong.
[08:56] (Flashback) Chizuru
Quit trying to dodge the issue.
[08:58] (Flashback) Sayuri
Am I? I guess I have a ways to go.
[09:01] (Flashback) Chizuru
That's right.
[09:02] Chizuru
You have a long ways to go yet.
[09:05] (Flashback) Sayuri
I'm quite fond of these truths.
[09:09] (Flashback) Kazuya
We're not actually going out, are we?
[09:17] Chizuru
I don't know!
[09:19] Chizuru
I just don't know anymore!
[09:22] Chizuru
What's right and what's wrong...
[09:26] Chizuru
What I should say to you,
and what I should keep from you...
[09:33] Chizuru
Tell me, Grandma.
[09:36] Chizuru
What am I supposed to do?
[09:41] Chizuru
I'm not sure anymore...
[09:45] Chizuru
I'm not sure about anything anymore!
[10:04] Sayuri
Chizuru.
[10:09] Chizuru
Grandma! I'll call the nurses right away!
[10:15] Chizuru
Grandma?
[10:25] Sayuri
Something's tearing you apart...
[10:30] Sayuri
You poor girl.
[10:36] Chizuru
Sorry, Grandma.
[10:39] Chizuru
I've been lying to you...
[10:43] Chizuru
I lied to you!
[10:45] (Flashback) Sayuri
But nobody in this world is a
better match for you than him.
[10:51] (Flashback) Sayuri
Chizuru.
[10:52] (Flashback) Sayuri
Do you know when true love begins?
[10:56] (Flashback) Sayuri
It's when you're having the time
of your life talking about them.
[11:01] Chizuru
No... I can't break it to her!
[11:08] Sayuri
Lying?
[11:11] Sayuri
You lied to me? I see...
[11:19] Sayuri
I feel like I want to know,
[11:22] Sayuri
and also like I don't.
[11:27] Sayuri
Whatever choice you make,
[11:32] Sayuri
I'll accept it.
[11:35] Chizuru
But... but...
[11:40] Sayuri
There are very few things in this world
that we know the right answers to.
[11:49] Sayuri
But we still fight our battles,
internal and external,
[11:55] Sayuri
and go searching for those answers.
[12:00] Sayuri
That is the only way to lead a life worth living.
[12:05] Sayuri
And you've grown into a fine woman,
capable of living that way.
[12:13] Sayuri
That's plenty for me to say
[12:16] Sayuri
I've lived a fruitful life.
[12:22] Sayuri
...ful.
[12:26] Sayuri
You were so beautiful.
[12:33] Sayuri
Thank you for showing me
[12:38] Sayuri
such a wonderful film.

Yeah, me, too.

I know how it feels to lose a loved one!
SIGN Gacha is life
SIGN Reality

[14:04] Mini
When our ferret died,
I couldn't stop crying, either!
[14:08] Kazuya
Hm? Did she just use a pet for comparison?
[14:10] Mini
What's Mizuhara-san doing now?
[14:13] Kazuya
She said the wake was tomorrow.
[14:16] Kazuya
She's probably busy preparing for it.
[14:18] Mini
Then what are you doing here?
[14:20] Mini
She must be heartbroken right now.
Shouldn't you be there for her?
[14:29] Kazuya
I don't know about that.
[14:31] Kazuya
Sometimes, I wonder...
[14:35] Kazuya
if she's much stronger and tougher
than I give her credit for.
[14:39] Kazuya
If she's the kind of person who
can live her life all by herself.
[14:43] Mini
Did something happen?
[14:45] Kazuya
Huh? Oh, uh, it's just a feeling!
SIGN It's not like
anything happened...
[14:49] Mini
Are you stupid, Master?
[14:50] Kazuya
Wha?!
SIGN Stupid!?
[14:51] Mini
No woman is an island.
[15:19] (Flashback) Kazuya
Mizuhara.
[15:21] (Flashback) Kazuya
So, how's your grandma?
[15:32] (Flashback) Chizuru
You were here the whole time?
[15:33] (Flashback) Kazuya
Huh? Yeah... I just couldn't
bring myself to leave.
[15:36] (Flashback) Chizuru
Oh. Sorry to make you do this.
[15:40] (Flashback) Chizuru
You must be wiped. Go home and rest up.
[15:44] (Flashback) Kazuya
I-I will.
[15:45] (Flashback) Chizuru
I should go.
[15:47] (Flashback) Chizuru
I have to prepare for the wake.
[15:49] (Flashback) Kazuya
O-Okay.
[15:58] Chizuru
I guess God can play the cruelest tricks.
[16:02] (Flashback) Kazuya
H-Hey!
[16:04] (Flashback) Kazuya
Mizuhara!
[16:05] (Flashback) Kazuya
Are you, uh... okay?
[16:09] (Flashback) Kazuya
If the pain gets too much for you,
please let me know!
[16:11] (Flashback) Kazuya
Or if you ever need anything.
I mean it! Anything at all!
[16:15] (Flashback) Kazuya
I know I'm just your neighbor,
but I want to be there for you!
[16:24] (Flashback) Chizuru
I'm fine!
[16:30] Kazuya
And then, Mizuhara left.
[16:33] Kazuya
Without saying another word.
[16:36] Kazuya
It was the same "Mizuhara" as always,
[16:40] Kazuya
and the sight of her walking away
without so much as a glance back
[16:44] Kazuya
was just so pretty and graceful.
[16:47] Kazuya
It was as though nothing had
changed for Mizuhara Chizuru.
[16:51] Kazuya
Even after what had just happened,
[16:55] Kazuya
she was still playing the perfect girlfriend.
[17:02] Nagomi
You got the address, I hope?
[17:05] Kazuya
Yeah.
SIGN Got a message

[17:06] Nagomi
Then take me there at once.

Are you really coming?
[17:10] Nagomi
Of course I am! It's my best friend's wake!
[17:14] Kazuya
What about the store?
[17:15] Nagomi
I left Kazuo and Harumi in charge.
[17:17] Kazuya
Knowing Grandma, she might
start wailing at the wake.
[17:21] Nagomi
Sayutaso!
[17:24] Kazuya
She'd be a huge bother to
Mizuhara, wouldn't she?
SIGN Service for the Late Ichinose Sayuri

[18:11] Kazuya
Y-Yeah.
[18:31] Kazuya
Shoot... I'm about to start crying here!
[18:37] Nagomi
Ichinose-san... It's so sad.
[18:49] Nagomi
Let's get going.
[18:50] Kazuya
Huh? Y-You're done?
[18:57] Nagomi
I'd be a bother if I stayed too long.
I'll be seeing her soon, anyway.
[19:12] Nagomi
She's so strong.
[19:15] Nagomi
No matter what life throws at her, she never
complains and fights her way through.
[19:20] Nagomi
It almost feels like I'm watching Sayuri-san.
[19:28] Nagomi
Think, Kazuya. There must be something
only you can do, as her boyfriend.
SIGN Reception
SIGN It was my first
experience, but...

to the wake of someone you knew!

I can't get the sight of Mizuhara
walking away out of my head!

a mistaken assumption!!!
[20:38] Kazuya
I mean, our relationship is fake!
[20:40] Kazuya
There's nothing for just a neighbor to do!
[20:45] Kazuya
We've been physically close a lot lately,
[20:48] Kazuya
but we were just working together as
actress and producer to make a movie.
[20:52] Kazuya
Without that,
[20:54] Kazuya
we're just neighbors.
[20:56] Kazuya
I'm just an outsider. I can't help her.
[21:00] Kazuya
And besides, she said she was fine.
[21:03] Kazuya
I can't even try.
SIGN Boo Hoo...
[21:06] Kazuya
She totally shut me out.
[21:11] Kazuya
But I saw how she looked.
There's no way she isn't devastated.
[21:18] Kazuya
A wall, huh?
[21:22] Kazuya
Tell me, Mizuhara. What can I do for you?
[21:28] Kazuya
Is there anything?
SIGN Thwap
[21:35] (Flashback) Chizuru
Could you please not drag me into your
embarrassingly self-absorbed soliloquy?
SIGN I feel like she just
yelled at me!!
SIGN I haven't
grown one bit!!
[21:43] (Flashback) Nagomi
There must be something only
you can do, as her boyfriend.
[21:48] (Flashback) Mini

Guess I'll give it a shot.

SIGN Still, she's making
such a big deal of it
[02:34] Kazuya
L-Let's calm down for a sec, shall we?
[02:39] Kazuya
Oh, no! You did nothing wrong!
[02:43] Kazuya
In fact, thank you for taking it so seriously.
[02:47] Kazuya
Watching you really does soothe the soul.
[02:51] Kazuya
Let's take this to a café.

[02:59] Kazuya
Nothing soothing about this.

[03:20] (Flashback) Chizuru
I'm fine!
[03:22] Kazuya
Actually, I don't know.
[03:27] Kazuya
She said she was fine with the same old smile.
[03:30] Kazuya
She was the same old Mizuhara.
[03:33] Kazuya
But she just lost her grandma, y'know?
[03:37] Kazuya
There's no way she isn't devastated
by losing the only family she had left.
[03:42] Kazuya
If she were in pain and wanted to cry,
I would've liked to help her out,
[03:46] Kazuya
but I couldn't do anything
with her smiling like that.
[03:52] Kazuya
We made a movie together and stuff,
[03:54] Kazuya
but the rental girlfriend thing is
the only thing connecting us.
[03:57] Kazuya
We're just "girlfriend" and "client."
[03:59] Kazuya
I feel like I'm too much of
a stranger to be there for her.
[04:03] (Flashback) Mini
No woman is an island.
[04:10] Kazuya
A friend told me recently that
no woman is an island.
[04:16] Kazuya
But I wonder about that, honestly.
[04:20] Kazuya
She was being so strong, even while grieving.
[04:23] Kazuya
I was just like, "Look, there's one right here."
[04:28] Kazuya
And the thought made me freeze up.
[04:31] Kazuya
I thought you'd know how she was feeling
better than me, so I wanted to ask you.

[05:41] Kazuya

Why am I suddenly going

[06:52] Kazuya
And as "friends," too! Music to my ears!
[06:56] Kazuya
Friends?!
[06:57] Kazuya
I'm friends with such a cute girl?!
[07:00] Kazuya
And just so the ocean waves can wash
my worries away? Is that really it?
[07:05] Kazuya
She's not gonna change into a swimsuit, is she?
SIGN If you need to talk,
it's best to go in without reservations.

Wait, no! My brain's going feral again!

Oh, the match game?

The Match Game.

It's a finger game in which
two players face each other,
[07:43] Mami
put out their index fingers, and increase
their opponent's open fingers.
[07:46] Mami
They do this by touching their
opponent's fingers with their own.

and whoever has five open fingers
on both hands first loses.

She's making her disappointment clear!
[09:06] Kazuya
Was she actually thinking of
changing into swimsuits?
[09:14] Kazuya
Speaking of beaches, I did give Mizuhara
a horrible time back then, too.
[09:31] Kazuya
Sumi-chan? Where are you going?
[09:40] Kazuya
Huh...
[09:41] Kazuya
What?!
SIGN That's all for the beach, folks!
SIGN She's walking so fast
[09:49] Kazuya
W-Wait, Sumi-chan!
[09:51] Kazuya
I didn't expect her to suggest
going up the Enoshima Sea Candle!
[09:55] Kazuya
What does this have to do
with solving my worries?
SIGN Enjoy the ocean view from
there or something?!
[09:59] Kazuya
I can never tell what she's thinking,
but I guess I have to follow her lead here.
SIGN She looks so
serious, too
SIGN Escar Station
SIGN Escalator to the top
[10:14] Kazuya
We're taking the stairs?!
[10:15] Kazuya
H-Hold up!
[10:17] Kazuya
For real? How many stairs do we
have to climb to reach the top?
SIGN huff huff
[10:21] Kazuya
They're pretty steep, too.
[10:23] Kazuya
Seriously...
[10:24] Kazuya
What's gotten into Sumi-chan?

I-I'll go on ahead!
[10:37] Kazuya
Damn it, sea breeze!
SIGN Just be yourself.
SIGN Here now
[10:54] Kayuza
I'm dead after just the climb!
[10:57] Kayuza

Does she play some sport or something?
SIGN Her motivation
gives her stamina
[11:05] Kazuya
O-Oh, the binoculars?
[11:08] Kazuya

SIGN I don't know
what she's
trying to do
SIGN Ooh
[11:25] Kazuya

Check out that girl. She's so pretty.
[11:31] Girl
Excuse me? What did you just say?
[11:33] Girl
What are you implying?
[11:33] Kazuya
She really does stand out in a crowd.
[11:35] Guy
I didn't mean anything by it.
Just an observation.
[11:37] Girl
Let's get going.
[11:48] Kazuya
Renting a girlfriend is the best!
SIGN Though we're here
as "friends"
[11:52] Girls
Yoohoo!
[11:55] Girls
C'mon, what are you screaming for?
[11:57] Girls
You told me to do it, Mari.
[12:01] Kazuya
Heh, they're full of spirit.
SIGN Ah, youth
[12:09] Kazuya
Huh? Whoa!
[12:10] Kazuya
Sumi-chan?!
[12:11] Kazuya
There's no way...
[12:13] Sumi
Yoo...
[12:18] Sumi
hoo.
[12:21] Kazuya
That surprised me.
[12:22] Kazuya
I thought she was gonna yell.
SIGN Like, "Yoohoo!"
[12:24] Kazuya
I suppose it is the stereotypical move
on a trip with friends.
[12:35] Kazuya
Yoohoo!
[12:43] Kazuya
I gave it a shot for you.
[12:45] Kazuya
That felt pretty good, actually.
[12:53] Kazuya
I still have no idea what she's trying to do,
[12:56] Kazuya
but hey, as long as she's having fun.
SIGN huff huff
[13:00] Kazuya
Even after that...
[13:01] Kazuya

SIGN And we're doing this doom
and gloom thing anyway
[13:36] Kazuya
Whoa!
[13:39] Kazuya
Huh?
[13:42] Kazuya
She went in!
[13:49] Kazuya
What?!
[13:50] Kazuya
You're kidding me, Sumi-chan!
You're doing the splashies?
[13:54] Kazuya
By yourself? You can't be serious.
SIGN She's summoning me...
[14:01] Kazuya
But I guess it is another typical beach scene.
[14:09] Kazuya
But what's the point?
SIGN Splish
SIGN Now you've done it
SIGN Splash
[14:15] Kazuya
Come on! Take this!

SIGN It's here
[14:32] Kazuya
Phew! I didn't bring it with me!
[14:41] Kazuya
Sorry, I kinda let loose.
[14:45] Kazuya
I haven't played and had fun
like a kid in a long time.
SIGN Positivity starts with a smile
[15:04] Kazuya
Sumi-chan...
SIGN I'm not very useful,
so I at least want
people who are in
pain to have some fun
[15:13] Kazuya
I see... So that's why she did all this today.
[15:17] Kazuya
She planned on showing me
a good time all along.
[15:21] Kazuya
She saw me worrying and dragged
me along to have some fun.
[15:27] Kazuya
She's such a good gal.
[15:30] Kazuya
I had my apprehensions at first,
[15:33] Kazuya
but all that moving around
and playing like a kid
[15:36] Kazuya
made me forget all the
complicated stuff along the way.
[15:39] Kazuya
It helped me refresh. Thanks,
[15:42] Kazuya
Sumi-chan.
SIGN I get why you'd second
guess yourself, but I
don't think any girl
would react badly to
being cheered up
[15:57] Kazuya
Sumi-chan...
SIGN Only Chizuru-chan knows
how she would really
feel deep down, but...
[16:02] Sumi
Happy...
[16:06] Sumi
It would make me very happy, at least.
[16:14] Kazuya
I see...
[16:16] Kazuya
She's right!
[16:17] Kazuya
Mizuhara will obviously be
hurting right now, I'm sure.
[16:20] Kazuya
But fretting over things and not cheering
her up is just backwards logic!
[16:25] Kazuya
"I'm not very useful"? Don't be silly.
[16:28] Kazuya
It was an amazing date.
[16:30] Kazuya
Let's head back to Tokyo.
[16:41] Sumi
Yup.
[17:00] Ruka
What?
[17:01] Ruka
Chizuru-san's grandmother passed away?
[17:03] Ruka
I see. That must be so hard...
SIGN For Chizuru-san
[17:07] Kazuya
She's putting on a brave face,
and it's just so hard to watch.
SIGN There's no way
she's not hurting
[17:11] Ruka
Well, she can be quite awkward.
[17:14] Ruka
We're in a truce, so I do want
to cheer her up somehow,
[17:18] Ruka
but family matters can be really delicate.
[17:21] Kazuya
She's so mature.
[17:24] Ruka
But if it were me, I'd want to be cheered up.
[17:29] Ruka
If you straight-up told me, "Cheer up!"
SIGN Stop it!
[17:34] Ruka
Squee! I'd totally get butterflies!
[17:36] Kazuya
R-Right?!
[17:39] Ruka
Wait, you're not thinking of...
[17:41] Ruka
I take it back!
[17:44] Ruka
That's a nope!
Cheering her up would be insensitive!
SIGN You should keep your distance!!
SIGN Pumped up! Pumped up!
[17:47] Ruka
Chizuru-san's a rental girlfriend.
SIGN Get back here!
Come back to me, Kazuya!
[17:50] Ruka
Having you, a client, try to cheer her up
SIGN Pumped up! Pumped up!
[17:53] Ruka
would be crossing so many lines!
SIGN Listen to me!!
[18:02] (Flashback) Ruka
If you care so much for a rental girlfriend,
[18:05] (Flashback) Ruka
then you're sure to treat a
real girlfriend even better!
[18:12] Ruka
He's passionate, huh?
[18:14] Ruka
God, I hate myself sometimes.
[18:20] Ruka
This situation warrants it,
so I won't stop you!
SIGN Not that
I know
[18:23] Ruka
But you're just a client!
SIGN what you're
thinking of doing!!
[18:25] Ruka
You'll never close the gap
between the two of you!
[18:29] Ruka
Also, I'm your girlfriend.
[18:32] Ruka
You'd better take me to
the amusement park in return.
[18:39] Kazuya
For sure! I'll go for sure!
[18:41] Ruka
How about we go right now?
[18:43] Kazuya
Today? Not happening.
SIGN I'm on shift
until late
[18:46] Kazuya
Can I get an advance on my pay, please?
[18:49] Boss
What? Why? Hitting the red-light district?
[18:52] Kazuya
What do you think I am?
[18:54] Boss
Uncontrolled lust will ruin you.
SIGN It's not that...
[18:58] Kazuya
There's a girl I want to cheer up.
[19:00] Boss
Huh... I thought you were dating Ruka-chan.
SIGN You're sharp...
I mean, I'm not...
[19:05] Boss
FYI, she's mine.
SIGN She's cute, isn't she?
And full of energy.
[19:06] Kazuya
Boss? Aren't you married?
SIGN S°x
[19:08] Boss
Don't you dare make a move.
[19:10] Kazuya
I won't! I swear on my life!
SIGN What are we
even talking about?
[19:12] Boss
So, what? You're gonna
ask her out on a fancy date?
[19:17] Kazuya
Yeah... something like that.
SIGN There is
a limit,
of course
[19:19] Boss
We're lacking staff next month, you see.
SIGN Wish I had someone to count on...
[19:21] Kazuya
I'll come in! As much as I possibly can!
[19:24] Boss
Damn, I want to be cheered up, too!
[19:27] Kazuya
Where did that come from?
[19:29] Boss
We guys exist solely to cheer girls up.
[19:33] Boss
Remember that.
SIGN Karaoke Village
[19:35] Kazuya
I will!
[19:39] Kazuya
I've lost count of how many times
she's helped me out until now.
[19:42] Ruka
Kazuya, I'm clocking out...
[19:50] Kazuya
When I was in trouble, when I was in pain...
[19:56] Ruka
Boss, do you wanna go on a date now?
SIGN Maybe I should
cheat on him back
SIGN baduuuuuump!!
[19:58] Boss
What?!
[19:59] Ruka
Just kidding.
[20:00] Boss
Wha...
[20:04] Kazuya
Mizuhara has always been there for me,
[20:08] Kazuya
helped me pick myself back up,
[20:10] Kazuya
and been my pillar of support.
SIGN 10-hour shift
[20:14] Kazuya
I'm so done...

Some man I'd be!

Mizuhara's amazing, though.
[22:42] Kazuya
Even now, she's working.
[22:44] Kazuya
Some do say work helps
take your mind off the grief.
[22:48] Kazuya
A normal client would be blissfully unaware,
and just have a fun date with her.
[22:55] Kazuya
But I'm painfully aware...
[22:58] Kazuya
Hey, Mizuhara, what did you think
[23:02] Kazuya
of me booking an all-day date with you?
[23:05] Kazuya
Are you going to hate the idea
[23:06] Kazuya
and scold me, saying my concerns are misplaced?
[23:10] (Flashback) Sumi
It would make me very happy, at least.
[23:13] Kazuya
Whatever you say, I've decided
not to chicken out of this.
[23:17] Kazuya
I'm sure I can't even imagine how much
it hurts to have lost Granny Sayuri.
[23:23] (Flashback) Chizuru
They all fill the void in their heart
with work or significant others.
[23:28] Kazuya
I'm going to spend this entire day
[23:30] Kazuya
making sure Mizuhara feels better!

You booked me for the entire day?

And she usually doesn't
wear skirts this short.
SIGN Too pretty

I can't even feel my fingers.

So, what are we doing after this?
[05:58] Kazuya
Huh?

I saw something that you might like.
Figured it'd be a good change of pace.
[06:31] Chizuru
Huh...
[06:33] Kazuya
Movies and acting go
hand-in-hand with Mizuhara.
[06:37] Kazuya
I did tons of research on
what she'd like to watch.
[06:41] Kazuya
I'm sure she'll enjoy this one.
[06:44] Chizuru
You're being suspiciously nice to me.

I never thought this day would come...
[07:36] Kazuya
Man, I wanna stay like this until I die.
SIGN huff
SIGN huff
[07:42] Kazuya
That said, I didn't get that movie at all!
SIGN Who actually dunnit?
SIGN I'm so beat for some reason
[07:45] Kazuya
To be fair, I was too distracted by the
handholding to pay attention, but still!
SIGN even though
I was just sitting
[07:50] Kazuya
Did I just make a massive mistake?
SIGN Gah
[07:52] Kazuya
Did I pick one that was too difficult?
[07:54] Kazuya
We can't have a fun discussion about it now!
[07:57] Chizuru
That was interesting, huh?
[07:59] Kazuya
Y-Yeah...
[08:00] Kazuya
And 'cause I'm spending so much
time and money on this,
[08:02] Kazuya
will she have to try not
to make me feel bad?!
[08:04] Kazuya
This could affect our plans after this, too!
SIGN Beam
SIGN Beam
SIGN Spaced out
[08:11] Chizuru
Hey, did you see what they
did in that last scene?!
SIGN Close!
[08:14] Chizuru
The performances were amazing!
[08:17] Chizuru
Karakida really does get
the best out of his actors!
[08:20] Chizuru
That climax, with them hurting
each other while hugging it out!
[08:25] Chizuru
The way he used the colors of dusk
to express that was so fancy!
[08:33] Kazuya
Yikes... I may just start crying...
[08:37] Kazuya
All that research was worth it.
[08:40] Kazuya
I think I've hit up on a huge contradiction.
[08:44] Kazuya
I saved up money and did so much
prep to show her a fun time,
[08:49] Kazuya
but when I see her enjoying herself,
[08:52] Kazuya
it makes me super happy.
[08:54] Kazuya
I'm starting to think I can't give you a good
time without having fun myself, too.
[09:02] Chizuru
Oh, uh, I simply meant it was interesting.
[09:07] Kazuya
Just seeing that expression made
asking her out today worth it.
[09:12] Kazuya
But I need her to enjoy herself more.
[09:15] Kazuya
My goal is to hit peak fun with this date.
[09:21] Kazuya
Right on time.
SIGN Hungry yet?
SIGN Yup
[09:23] Chizuru
Wow. This is a lovely restaurant.
[09:37] Kazuya
She's unbelievably pretty.
SIGN She feels so
out of
place with me
[09:40] Kazuya
She fits right in with this
fashionable ambiance,
[09:42] Kazuya
and the classy music is practically
her theme song!
SIGN Kinda pricey
SIGN What...?
[10:02] Chizuru
Admit it. You're worried
about me, aren't you?
[10:05] Chizuru
If this is about my grandma,
I told you I'm fine.
[10:08] Chizuru
This date is just too much.
SIGN Kazuya's Sanity Gauge
SIGN She
knows
[10:12] Chizuru
I knew it was coming.
[10:14] Chizuru
Tip-toeing around it just makes
things awkward for me.
SIGN Iron
maiden...
[10:19] (Flashback) Mini
No woman is an island.
[10:23] (Flashback) Sumi
It would make me very happy, at least.
SIGN Zooom
SIGN Pump Pump
[10:28] Kazuya
I-It's really not what you think.
[10:31] Chizuru
Huh...
[10:34] Chizuru
Oh, and also...
[10:36] Chizuru
Thanks for the projector.
[10:40] Chizuru
I wasn't sure if I should talk about it
today since it's a private matter,
[10:44] Chizuru
but I decided that I should thank you,
even if it breaks the fourth wall.
[10:49] Chizuru
And sorry, I had too much
going on in the hospital.
[10:51] Kazuya
Oh, nah, I didn't do anything.
[10:54] Kazuya
That projector belongs to the film club.
[10:56] Chizuru
We have the screening next week, huh?
[10:58] Kazuya
Y-Yeah.
[11:01] Kazuya
Hey, uh, did your grandma
get to watch the movie?
[11:08] Chizuru
Not all of it, but she did catch a little.
[11:13] Chizuru
She said it was a wonderful film.
[11:17] Kazuya
Oh, no... I wanna cry.
[11:20] Chizuru
My dream of showing her me shining
on the silver screen didn't come true,
[11:25] Chizuru
but I'm grateful she got to see
something to that effect.
[11:30] Staff
Can I take your orders?
[11:32] Chizuru
Oh, yes.
[11:33] Chizuru
I'll have this and...
[11:35] Kazuya
Thank goodness...
[11:37] Kazuya
Thank goodness!
[11:42] Chizuru
I feel like you've done more
than enough for me already.
[11:46] Chizuru
Without you, there would've been no movie.
[11:50] Chizuru
I can't ask you for any more.
[11:53] Kazuya
Maybe so,
[11:55] Kazuya
but this is what I want.
[11:57] Kazuya
All you have to do is tag along.
[11:59] Kazuya
That's it.
[12:02] Chizuru
Well...
[12:02] Chizuru
If my boyfriend says so,
I guess I'll have to play along.
SIGN Boyfriend...
[12:08] Chizuru
Okay, I'll enjoy this to my fullest.
SIGN Cute...
SIGN Cat
SIGN Gotta answer
the client's needs
[12:11] Chizuru
I'm getting paid to, and all.
[12:14] Kazuya
Phew. She didn't refuse.
[12:17] Kazuya
I don't know how "fine" she really is,
[12:19] Kazuya
but my goal remains unchanged.
[12:21] Kazuya
Besides, Mizuhara has no idea
SIGN mwahahaha
[12:24] Kazuya
that my cheer-up date plan is gonna
kick into another gear starting now!
SIGN Love is all about decisiveness
[12:33] Chizuru
Bouldering?
[12:34] Chizuru
That explains the change of clothes.
SIGN You asked me
to bring stuff
that was to easy
to move around in
[12:35] Kazuya
Ever since we came that one time,
I've been wanting to try it again.
[12:40] Kazuya
Mizuhara seemed to like it,
[12:42] Kazuya
and exercise will take her mind off things.
[12:44] Kazuya
And there's another,
hidden purpose to this...
[12:48] Chizuru
Yeah, this might be fun.
[12:50] Chizuru
I'll go get changed.
[12:51] Kazuya
Okay.
SIGN Fall to the dark side...
SIGN That dude's got
a scary look in his eyes
[12:53] Kazuya
Mwahaha, she's enjoying herself,
not knowing she's already fallen into my trap.
[13:02] Chizuru
Man, it's been forever.
[13:04] Kazuya
Squee!
SIGN Sporty Mizuhara is
always a knockout
[13:06] Kazuya
She's so cute!
[13:08] Kazuya
Crap!
SIGN My eyes
are going
places they
shouldn't be!!
[13:09] Kazuya
I'm just enjoying myself again!
SIGN Boing
[13:12] Kazuya
If I remember right,
she was really good at this.
SIGN Note: Don't climb together with her
[13:15] Kazuya
I can't cut a pathetic figure
and ruin the mood.
SIGN Kazuya's image
SIGN Be thorough
[13:19] Kazuya
I'd better stretch.
[13:21] Chizuru
Need a hand?
[13:24] Chizuru
With stretches.
[13:26] Kazuya
You couldn't mean...
[13:28] Chizuru
What else could I mean?
[13:30] Kazuya
I-I'm good. I can manage by myself.
[13:32] Kazuya
One, two, three, four...
[13:33] Chizuru
Why? It's more efficient
to do them as a pair.
[13:36] Chizuru
And I want to stretch, too.
SIGN So we'll have
to trade places?
[13:38] Kazuya
It's just, we'll get too close for comfort!
[13:41] Chizuru
Here I go.
SIGN Oof...
[13:44] Chizuru
Whoa, you're so stiff!
[13:46] Chizuru
Are you drinking all the time
and not looking after yourself?
SIGN Push
SIGN Pressure
SIGN Whew
SIGN Nice scent
plus knee
SIGN Can't even bring
himself to touch her
[13:56] Chizuru
Hey, come on.
[13:57] Chizuru
That's not nearly enough force.
SIGN Can feel the bumps
of her bra
SIGN Her visible nape beneath
her ponytail is (almost)
like peeking through the
curtains at something holy!
SIGN Stiff
SIGN Stiff
[14:01] Chizuru
Come on, relax a little!
SIGN Tummy <3
SIGN Soft
SIGN Soft
SIGN Inexplicable pressure
SIGN Can't confirm, but can feel the flexibility
[14:09] Kazuya
S-So light!
SIGN Her hair stroking
his cheeks
SIGN Pant
SIGN Pant
SIGN Is having a heart attack
before even starting
SIGN BPM is post-marathon levels
[14:14] Chizuru
Okay, let's begin.
SIGN That should do it
SIGN 30 Minutes Later
[14:17] Chizuru
Yay, yay.
SIGN Squirm
[14:35] Kazuya
Damn it, where am I looking again?!
[14:38] Kazuya
Still, she's awesome.
She's that far up the intermediate course.
[14:44] Chizuru
Maybe I can't do this after all.
[14:46] Kazuya
Use your toetips to get a foothold.
[14:49] Kazuya
That way, your center of gravity will lean
toward the wall, reducing the stress.
[14:53] Chizuru
Like this?
[14:54] Kazuya
Yeah!
[14:55] Chizuru
You're right. This does feel easier.
[14:58] Chizuru
Why do you know so much about this?
[15:00] Kazuya
I-I just looked it up.
SIGN Graaawwwrr
[15:02] Kazuya
I can't tell her I trained when
I came to check the place out.
[15:08] Kazuya
Once you're stable, kick off and
grab the topmost rock in one go.
[15:12] Chizuru
Hup.
[15:14] Chizuru
I-I got it!
[15:16] Kazuya
Yeah!
[15:17] Chizuru
Yay!
[15:21] Chizuru
Let's go!
SIGN You cleared a V3!
[15:22] Kazuya
You're awesome, Mizuhara!
[15:24] Kazuya
You even got me hyped!
[15:26] Chizuru
What the heck?
SIGN I know that feeling, though
[15:34] Kazuya
In the end, I had the most fun.
Why does this keep happening?
[15:37] Chizuru
All that exercise made me hungry.
[15:41] Kazuya
It's happening!
SIGN Flash
[15:43] Kazuya
I-I figured it would, so I made reservations.
[15:48] Sign
Kani Doraku
[15:50] Chizuru
Hey...
SIGN Expensive crab...
[15:51] Chizuru
Come on...
[15:53] Chizuru
Okay, this is too much!
[15:55] Kazuya
It's fine.
[15:56] Chizuru
Did you strike oil or something?
[15:58] Kazuya
I just budgeted for this!
SIGN I made
reservations
already, too
SIGN Plus it's Ginza
[16:01] Kazuya
Burning all those calories right into crab!
SIGN A perfect one-two punch
SIGN The bouldering
was a setup
for this
[16:03] Kazuya
A spectacular plan, if I say so myself.
SIGN Doesn't matter
how much money
you drop
[16:06] Chizuru
You're not getting a happy
ending out of this, okay?
[16:08] Kazuya
Wh-What kinda guy do you take me for?
[16:10] Kazuya
I told you, this is what I want to do.
[16:15] Staff
Kinoshita-sama, allow me
to guide you to your table.
[16:18] Kazuya
P-Please do.
[16:19] Kazuya
I decided to splurge today.
[16:22] Kazuya
She liked the movie, lunch,
and bouldering more than I expected.
[16:27] Kazuya
I may actually be helping Mizuhara out here.
[16:36] Girl
That was yummy!
[16:39] Grandma
Do you want to stop by a
toy store on the way home?
[16:41] Girl
Yay!
[16:59] Chizuru
Whoa, look at all this food!
[17:01] Chizuru
It really is all-you-can-crab!
[17:06] Kazuya
Holy crab!
[17:07] Kazuya
Do I really have enough money for this?!
[17:10] Kazuya
Crab hotpot, 7,000 yen.
[17:11] Kazuya
Crab sashimi, 3,000 yen.
[17:12] Kazuya
Crab sushi, 2,000 yen.
[17:14] Kazuya
So this is how much firepower crab has!
[17:16] Chizuru
Hey, are you really going
to be okay for money?
SIGN This is a
crazy lineup
[17:19] Kazuya
I-I-I'll be fine. I accounted for all this.
[17:22] Chizuru
Really? I'm going to dig in, you know.
[17:25] Kazuya
Y-You can trust me.
[17:28] Chizuru
If you say so.
[17:29] Kazuya
It'll be okay.
SIGN Time to eat
[17:30] Kazuya
Once we get through this,
the rest of the date won't cost much.
SIGN I decided to enjoy myself
[17:33] Kazuya
I'd better act confident so Mizuhara
doesn't have to worry about me.
[17:38] Kazuya
If this makes her feel better,
it'll be more than worth it.
[17:47] Chizuru
Here.
[17:48] Kazuya
Me?!
SIGN Did you have
to jump out
of your chair?
[17:49] Kazuya
What?!
[17:50] Chizuru
Have the first bite.
[17:53] Kazuya
What is this, baptism by rental girlfriend?
SIGN Ordered
it himself
[17:57] Chizuru
Is it good?
[17:58] Kazuya
Just amazing!
[18:00] Kazuya
Man, what is this?
[18:01] Kazuya
The soft mouthfeel of crab meat
married with the burst of umami...
[18:07] Kazuya
Add to that Mizuhara's kindness and warmth,
and it's the greatest dish on Earth!
[18:12] Chizuru
I'll help myself, too.
[18:15] Chizuru
Yum! Delicious!
[18:18] Kazuya
That one smile is enough to
give the Benjamins salvation.
SIGN Rest in peace
[18:23] Chizuru
Here you are.
[18:24] Kazuya
O-Oh, thanks.
[18:27] Kazuya
Mizuhara can do it all, huh?
[18:30] Kazuya
She's looking over the hotpot, clearing up
all the plates, and all the other stuff.
[18:34] Kazuya
She'll probably be an amazing wife.
[18:37] Chizuru
Want a refill?
[18:38] Kazuya
S-Sure.
[18:47] Chizuru
Huh? What?
[18:48] Kazuya
Nothing at all!
[18:50] Kazuya
A lavish meal, beer,
[18:53] Kazuya
and a considerate, pretty wife!
[18:53] Chizuru
Some mochi might be nice, too.
[18:55] Kazuya
I feel like a king!
SIGN Has my life
just peaked?
[18:59] Chizuru
Thanks for the meal!
[19:00] Chizuru
That was delicious!
[19:02] Kazuya
Hah... My wallet feels so light now.
[19:05] Chizuru
It was so good, I might call crab
my favourite food from now on.
SIGN I'm
so
glad
[19:10] Kazuya
It's like Newton's third law.
[19:12] Kazuya
I try and try to show her a good time,
[19:15] Kazuya
only for her to do the same for me.
[19:18] Kazuya
Did Mizuhara truly enjoy today's
date with all her heart?
[19:21] Kazuya
I don't really know.
[19:25] Kazuya
But this is fine.
I've done everything I could.
[19:30] Kazuya
If it helps her take her mind off things
even a little, that's all I could ask for.
[19:35] Chizuru
So, is that all we had on the schedule?
[19:37] Kazuya
Huh? Oh, uh...
[19:38] Chizuru
We still have an hour left.
[19:40] Chizuru
We already checked out clothes...
Maybe hit up an accessories store?
[19:44] Kazuya
There's one more thing I want to do!
SIGN Handheld Fireworks
SIGN Festival 2
[19:51] Chizuru
Fireworks?
[19:53] Chizuru
Talk about fully loaded.
SIGN You packed everything you could think of
[19:55] Kazuya
Wh-What better way to mark
the end of summer, right?
[19:58] Kazuya
Was it a bit too childish? But it's
the typical summer date activity.
[20:02] Chizuru
I haven't done this in ages. I'm in.
SIGN Phew
[20:05] Chizuru
Oh, this has sparklers!
[20:08] Kazuya
You like them?
[20:10] Chizuru
My grandma loved them.
SIGN O-Oh...
[20:12] Chizuru
So we always started with them in our family.
SIGN They
usually
go
last
[20:16] Kazuya
Oh, really?
[20:19] Chizuru
May I?
[20:20] Kazuya
Of course.
[20:27] Kazuya
How angelic can you be?
[20:29] Kazuya
I'll go get us some water.
SIGN I may
be drunk
[20:31] Chizuru
Sorry for making you go.
SIGN Good. Looks like she liked the idea.
[20:33] Kazuya
Don't worry about it.
[20:54] (Flashback) Chizuru
Aw, it went out.
[21:00] (Flashback) Sayuri
Extra time!
[21:06] (Flashback) Katsuhito
What's this, fireworks? How romantic!
SIGN Stay away!!
[21:10] (Flashback) Chizuru
Stop right there, Grandpa!
[21:11] (Flashback) Katsuhito
Wha?
[21:12] (Flashback) Katsuhito
But why? That's mean, Chizuru!
SIGN What do you take your grandpa for?!
SIGN It's gonna drop off!!
[21:16] (Flashback) Chizuru
God, so annoying! That's the annoying part!
[21:27] Kazuya
Did I fill it up too much?
Better safe than sorry, though.

SIGN "Ideal Girlfriend and Girlfriend"
[00:25] Kazuya
Mizuhara.
[00:27] Chizuru
Oh, sorry. Thanks for the water.
[00:29] Chizuru
I haven't done this in ages,
so I wound up engrossed.
[00:32] Chizuru
I forgot that sparklers
can get so smoky, though.
[00:36] Chizuru
It got in my eyes.
[00:39] Chizuru
Come on!
[00:40] Chizuru
Let's keep going!
[00:43] Chizuru
We should unpack everything.
That'll make things easier.
[00:46] Chizuru
This takes me back!
[00:53] Chizuru
It's red. Pretty!
[01:03] Kazuya
I knew.
[01:05] Kazuya
I knew all along...
[01:07] Kazuya
that my cheering her up
wouldn't change a thing.
[01:13] Kazuya
That I couldn't do anything to help her.
[01:18] Kazuya
Mizuhara really is strong.
[01:20] Kazuya
Even now, she's controlling herself
[01:23] Kazuya
so that she doesn't bother anyone.
[01:25] Kazuya
She played the absolute perfect
girlfriend today, too.
[01:29] Kazuya
I get it! I know, damn it!
[01:32] Kazuya
Back then,
[01:34] Kazuya
back then...
[01:35] Kazuya
And ever since we first met,
[01:39] Kazuya
I've only ever been a client to her,
a rental girlfriend.
[01:39] Chizuru
We're really blowing through them.
Time flies when you're having fun.
[01:43] Kazuya
I'm not the kind of person she can rely on,
nor do we have that kinda relationship.
[01:49] (Flashback) Chizuru
I'm your rental girlfriend!
This is just how it works!
[01:58] Kazuya
But... Even so, Mizuhara...
[02:03] Kazuya
I can't help it!
[02:05] Kazuya
Looking at you smiling all the time...
[02:08] Kazuya
Bottling up all your pain,
putting on a brave face...
[02:09] Chizuru
Wow, memories!
[02:13] Kazuya
Watching you try as hard as you possibly can
[02:14] Chizuru
Okay, we get two each.
[02:18] Kazuya
to move on and live strong, even as
you're left all alone in this world,
[02:23] Kazuya
I stop caring about how annoying, pushy,
[02:26] Kazuya
meddling, conceited, or a garbage
human being it makes me!
[02:33] Kazuya
I just want to help you out any way I can!
[02:38] Kazuya
I want to be there for you!
[02:41] Kazuya
I can't help it!
[02:47] Kazuya
But there's nothing I can do anymore.
[02:53] Chizuru
Oh, it's over.
[02:57] Chizuru
That was fun!
[02:59] Chizuru
Perfect timing, too. We should get going.
SIGN Sorry for making you
clean up all the trash
[03:02] Chizuru
Oh, and I think your date
plan today was wonderful.
[03:07] Chizuru
And I don't just mean how much money you spent.
[03:11] Chizuru
Hmm, how do I say this?
[03:13] Chizuru
It showed you were really putting
yourself in your date's shoes.
[03:17] Chizuru
Any girl would be overjoyed
by the effort you put in.
[03:20] Chizuru
You might land yourself a real girlfriend soon.
[03:24] Kazuya
You know what my ideal girlfriend's like?
[03:28] Kazuya
What pushed me to say that right then?
[03:31] Kazuya
I still have no idea.
[03:33] Kazuya
But with a girl trembling
in sorrow in front of me,
[03:37] Kazuya
I can't draw a line because I'm "just a client."
[03:40] Kazuya
I don't have it all figured out like that.
[03:43] Kazuya
My ideal girlfriend...
[03:47] Kazuya
She's pretty, fashionable, and kind.
[03:51] Kazuya
But whenever I don't have my act together,
[03:53] Kazuya
she gives me the scoldings I deserve.
[03:57] Kazuya
She can be a ticking time bomb at times,
but in general, she's cheery.
[04:01] Kazuya
She has the most beautiful
smile in the world...
[04:11] Kazuya
But sometimes, she cries... just a little bit.
[04:16] Kazuya
She's usually the strongest person I know.
[04:19] Kazuya
Even when she's in crippling pain,
[04:22] Kazuya
she never lets it show.
[04:24] Kazuya
She says she did everything she could,
and looks on the bright side.
[04:28] Kazuya
She lives life with her dial turned to 11.
[04:31] Kazuya
She's always my rock. Not the other way around.
[04:34] Kazuya
Having her beside me gives me strength.
[04:37] Kazuya
Even when she's hurting inside,
[04:39] Kazuya
she does her best not to
let it affect anyone else.
[04:42] Kazuya
And though she usually always puts
on a smile when she's with me,
[04:47] Kazuya
when she's truly sad,
she lets it drop just for a little bit...
[04:52] Kazuya
and cries.
[05:06] (Flashback) Sayuri
What? You don't want to feel alone?
[05:09] (Flashback) Chizuru
Yeah.
[05:11] (Flashback) Sayuri
Come here.
[05:15] (Flashback) Chizuru
Don't you ever feel lonely, Grandma?
[05:18] (Flashback) Sayuri
Of course I do.
[05:20] (Flashback) Chizuru
You do? How do you deal with it?
[05:24] (Flashback) Sayuri
A nice, big hug fixes it right up.
[05:29] (Flashback) Sayuri
As long as you and Katsuhito-san
are with me, I'll be all right.
[05:36] (Flashback) Sayuri
I love you, Chizuru.
[05:39] (Flashback) Sayuri
You are my treasure.
[06:22] Chizuru
Grandma!
[06:27] Chizuru
Grandpa!
[06:41] Kazuya
Once the dam broke, Mizuhara continued
to cry until her voice gave out.
[06:48] Kazuya
She seemed so much more frail
than she normally does.
[06:53] Kazuya
Her crying went way past "just a little bit,"
[06:58] Kazuya
but my heart went out to her more
than anyone else in my life, ever.
SIGN Rent-a-Girlfriend
SIGN Where'd that guy go?
[07:08] Fish
Where'd that guy go?
SIGN 44°C? That's a death
sentence (for a fish)
[07:22] Fish
44 Celsius? That's a death sentence.
SIGN Daaaze
[07:26] Kazuya
I can't get last night out of my head.
[07:31] Kazuya
What was that massive moment?!
SIGN (Reality,
that's what)
[07:33] Kazuya
Was it real life, or just a fantasy?
SIGN Hasn't slept a wink
[07:35] Kazuya
Not even a hot bath can take my mind off it!
SIGN The image has been
burned into my brain!!
SIGN The Massive Moment
[07:39] Kazuya
Yeah, I did want her to lean
on me if she needed me,
[07:42] Kazuya
but I didn't expect her to cry so hard.
[07:45] Kazuya
Was it really okay for me to see that?
SIGN The Massive Moment
[07:47] Kazuya
Why did I even say what I did?
[07:49] Kazuya
I saw her in pain and just ended
up blurting out what I felt...
[07:54] Kazuya
What now? Was that the right thing to do?!
SIGN That's a yikes
from me, dude
[07:57] Kazuya
Huh? I don't know anymore!
[07:57] Fish
That's a yikes from me, dude.
[07:58] Kazuya
I don't get anything in my life anymore!
[08:01] Kazuya
She kept crying for, like,
ten minutes after that, and then...
[08:07] (Flashback) Chizuru
Okay, shall we go?
[08:10] (Flashback) Kazuya
Y-Yeah.
[08:12] (Flashback) Chizuru
Hey, uh, sorry about earlier.
[08:15] (Flashback) Kazuya
Oh, no problem. Don't worry about it.
[08:18] (Flashback) Chizuru
Okay. See you.
[08:20] (Flashback) Kazuya
R-Right.
SIGN Graargghhrrrrr
[08:28] Kazuya
The heck was that?
I have no idea what she was thinking!
[08:32] Kazuya
But I guess that shows just how
much she was keeping bottled up.
[08:36] Kazuya
She always tries to fight through
everything, so that was progress, right?
[08:43] Kazuya
And one other thing became crystal clear.
[08:48] Kazuya
I really am hopelessly in love with Mizuhara.
[08:54] Kazuya
Her trembling shoulders...
[08:56] Kazuya
Her red ears...
[08:58] Kazuya
Every bit of her seemed
so small, thin, and frail
[09:03] Kazuya
that I was afraid she'd
break if I held her tight.
SIGN Noise Canceling
Ghost
[09:06] Kazuya
Gah! Maybe I should've hugged her!
SIGN I might've missed
the boat on something
[09:10] Kazuya
She might've been hoping I would!
SIGN That's the problem
with you
[09:11] Fish
That's the problem with you.
[09:14] Kazuya
But now it's been proven beyond doubt!
[09:16] Kazuya
Mizuhara's not a superhuman woman of steel.
[09:19] Kazuya
She's just a girl with chinks in her armor.
[09:22] Kazuya
Her brave act is just that—an act.
[09:26] Kazuya
I bet she's crying in her apartment right now.
[09:30] Kazuya
What is this feeling?
[09:33] Kazuya
From the bottom of my heart,
I want to put her first.
[09:37] Kazuya
I want to protect her.
[09:39] Kazuya
The word "love" doesn't come
close to describing it.
[09:48] Kazuya
She is my world!
[09:56] Kazuya
Huh? Wha?
SIGN How'd she get in?
[09:58] Kazuya
What're you doing here, Yaemori-san?!
[09:59] Mini
The door was open.
[10:01] Kazuya
What? No way! When did you come in?
SIGN I even rang
the bell
SIGN Why copy my pose?
[10:03] Mini
Around when you got on your knees.
SIGN Just for fun
SIGN She saw all
the cringe bits!
[10:05] Kazuya
How'd I not hear the intercom?
Was I that deep in thought?
SIGN I must be crazy!
[10:10] Mini
So, what's up?
[10:11] Mini
You were looking at Mizuhara-san's
apartment with hearts in your eyes!
[10:14] Kazuya
I-I wasn't!
[10:16] Mini
How's it going with her?
It's keeping me up all day, you know!
[10:22] Kazuya
Well, I guess it's okay.
[10:25] Kazuya
I did talk to her about it already.
[10:29] Mini
Whoa, really?
[10:31] Mini
You rolled out the red carpet on a rental date?
[10:34] Mini
I like that you didn't get too cocky,
and played it safe.
[10:37] Kazuya
Huh? Thanks, I guess?
SIGN tYou mocking me?
[10:39] Mini
Where'd you go? What'd you eat?
SIGN Take me along
next time
[10:42] Kazuya
Uh, the movies? Crab?
SIGN Why would I?
That makes no sense
[10:44] Mini
Wow, nice!
[10:47] Kazuya
I can't tell her about that part, can I?
SIGN Mizuhara probably doesn't
want anyone to know
[10:51] Mini
So?
[10:52] Mini
Did it cheer Mizuhara-san up?
[10:55] Kazuya
Huh? U-Uh, well...
[10:57] Kazuya
Dunno... I think she had fun?
SIGN During the date
[11:00] Mini
Wow! That's big progress!
SIGN You deserve a medal
[11:03] Kazuya
Y-You think so?
[11:05] Mini
Boy gives girl a shoulder to cry on
when she's in pain after losing her family...
SIGN You've entered the true route
SIGN Taking a selfie
to celebrate
[11:10] Mini
How romantic!
SIGN Snap
[11:13] Kazuya
But ultimately, I don't know
if I was of any help.
[11:19] Mini
Anyway...
[11:21] Mini
You know what the next step is.
[11:23] Kazuya
What?
[11:24] Mini
Asking her out on a regular date.
SIGN That's the
upcoming
chapter
[11:27] Kazuya
What?!
[11:28] Kazuya
Why? No way! I can't!
[11:30] Mini
But... you like her, don't you?
SIGN You wanna go out
with her, right?
[11:32] Kazuya
Uh, I don't know if I'd say I like her...
SIGN I don't know if
I'd say I wanna
go out with her
[11:35] Kazuya
I mean, she and I are just
rental girlfriend and client.
[11:40] Kazuya
There's money involved in our dates!
[11:42] Kazuya
And what happened to "playing it safe"?
SIGN I'm talking about the next step
[11:44] Mini
You're talking about the status quo.
[11:47] Mini
It's clear to anyone that your relationship
has gone way beyond a rental agreement.
[11:53] Mini
And as long as they can take no for an answer,
[11:54] Mini
a neighbor asking a girl out
for dinner wouldn't piss her off.
SIGN If anything, you're making
too big a deal out of it
[12:00] Mini
Your stock has gone up now, no doubt.
SIGN Strike while
the iron's hot
[12:05] Mini
This is your chance to confirm
how open she is to the idea!
[12:10] Kazuya
Really?
[12:13] Kazuya
But given what just happened...
[12:15] Kazuya
If I ask her out for real, out of nowhere,
she might think I'm pushing my luck...
[12:20] Kazuya
No way! I can't do it!
[12:22] Mini
What are you saying?!
[12:24] Mini
You're the one who threw yourself
into a doomed romance!
SIGN Say your
prayers already!
[12:27] Kazuya
Don't call it doomed!
[12:28] Mini
Quit struggling, and gimme that phone!
SIGN I can feel
a bunch of parts
[12:31] Kazuya
I'm gonna go get lunch!
[12:33] Mini
Hey, wait!
[12:39] Mini
Sheesh.
[12:41] Mini
Our hero's a real handful.
[12:50] Kazuya
Is Mizuhara down in the dumps right about now?
[12:55] Kazuya
I'd never seen her like that before,
[12:57] Kazuya
and I'm sure she didn't want anyone
to see her like that, either.
[13:01] Kazuya
Her emotions must've got the best of her
because she's always putting on a brave face.
[13:07] Kazuya
Well, after what happened between us,
[13:11] Kazuya
I wouldn't be surprised if she
came to me instead, but...
[13:16] Kazuya
Either way, I'm the only one
who knows how she truly feels.
[13:20] Kazuya
I gotta be there for her.
[13:22] (Flashback) Mini
Asking her out on a regular date.
SIGN That's the
upcoming
chapter
SIGN Peaches
from
Mom
SIGN Thanks
[13:32] Kazuya
You know, asking her out in her
off-time would be too sudden,
[13:37] Kazuya
but I want her to talk to me if she needs me,
[13:39] Kazuya
and I can't very well just
leave her alone like this.
[13:43] Kazuya
Sharing is caring!
[13:44] Kazuya
The most basic neighbor-cheering-up move!
SIGN This is fair game, right?
Totally fair game!
[13:48] Kazuya
This is totally natural as a neighbor!
SIGN Being defensive
as always
[13:51] Kazuya
And after seeing her like that, I can't b—
[13:54] Kazuya
Ack!
[13:55] Chizuru
"Ack"?
[13:56] Kazuya
M-Mizuhara!
[13:59] Chizuru
Yeah?
SIGN Got taken
by surprise
[14:02] Kazuya
Gah! This is so damn awkward!
[14:03] Kazuya
H-Hello!
[14:06] Kazuya
Like the day after a big fight,
though we didn't get into a fight!
[14:09] Kazuya
Like the day after we started going out,
though we aren't going out!
[14:13] Kazuya
But I know she's having a hard time!
[14:16] Kazuya
If she can't talk to anyone else,
she can talk to me!
[14:19] Kazuya
If she's hurting, I want her to let me know!
[14:21] Kazuya
I want her to rely on me!
[14:23] Kazuya
M-Mizuhara! About yesterday...
[14:26] Chizuru
Next week, huh?
[14:27] Kazuya
Huh?
[14:28] Chizuru
The screening. It's on Sunday, right?
SIGN Nothing left to do but pray
[14:31] Chizuru
It's finally here.
[14:33] Chizuru
But, hey, we've done everything we could.
[14:37] Chizuru
About my outfit for the day,
[14:39] Chizuru
I think I should go with something blue
to match Kyoko's last scene.
[14:45] Chizuru
But the intro scene's memorable, too,
[14:49] Chizuru
so I'm torn between blue and red.
[14:52] Kazuya
Uh, wait... Huh? What?
[14:52] Chizuru
Though I know I'm going with a dress
either way, because she wears them often.
[14:56] Kazuya
What?!
[14:58] Chizuru
Are you even listening?
[15:00] Kazuya
Huh? O-Oh, I think either's fine.
[15:03] Chizuru
Could you at least pretend
to give it some thought?
SIGN That's the problem with you
[15:05] Kazuya
F-Fine, blue.
[15:06] Kazuya
She's just gonna pretend
all that never happened?
[15:10] Chizuru
Blue, eh? I'll try looking for something.
[15:10] Kazuya
There's no way she's forgotten about it!
[15:13] Chizuru
Bye.
[15:18] Kazuya
I forgot to give her the peaches...
[15:20] Kazuya
What was that all about?!
SIGN Peaches
[15:22] Fish
Why don't you put those peaches
in the fridge for now?
SIGN Roll Roll
[15:25] Kazuya
Is that even possible?
After that moment we shared?!
SIGN Wail
SIGN Pretend it
never happened?!
[15:29] Kazuya
Surely we had some stuff to talk about!
SIGN Flail
SIGN Heart-to-Heart
[15:33] Kazuya
Ow! I didn't dream it all up!
SIGN I mean,
it happened
last night
[15:35] Kazuya
Like it just never happened...
[15:38] Kazuya
Like we just removed yesterday
from the history books!
[15:40] Kazuya
A mystery!
[15:41] Kazuya
Girls are a total mystery!
[15:43] Kazuya
Don't tell me...
[15:45] Kazuya
It can't be.
[15:46] Kazuya
That whole thing wasn't an act, was it?
[15:49] Kazuya
All because I said my ideal girlfriend cries?
SIGN Cat
[15:52] Chizuru
The customer's always right.
[15:54] Kazuya
No way! That's way too freaky!
SIGN She's evolved into
a higher plane of existence
[15:56] Kazuya
Does she have perfect control
over her tear glands?!
[16:01] Kazuya
Yeah, nah, I'm overthinking it.
[16:04] Kazuya
I'm sure she wants to let it all out,
but is controlling herself.
[16:09] Kazuya
I want to keep being there for her.
SIGN Bang
SIGN Bang
[16:15] Kazuya
Ugh...
[16:17] Kazuya
How many more times do I have to feel this way?
[16:22] Chizuru
If you're watching from up in heaven,
[16:25] Chizuru
you must know the whole truth now.
[16:28] Chizuru
That's right. He's not
my boyfriend or anything.
[16:32] Chizuru
I just work as a rental girlfriend on the side.
[16:35] Chizuru
But...
[16:36] Chizuru
I was unprofessional.
[16:39] Chizuru
Did you hear his spiel
about his ideal girlfriend?
[16:44] Chizuru
He's always so dramatic.
[16:47] Chizuru
Even when we first met, he went,
"There's no way to get your true self on rental."
[16:50] Chizuru
Always trying to act cool.
[16:52] Chizuru
He's a total dreamer,
and not even embarrassed about it.
[16:56] Chizuru
Just completely oblivious.
[17:01] Chizuru
But I can't explain it.
[17:03] Chizuru
I was so lonely, I wanted to die...
[17:07] Chizuru
But I feel so much better after
crying it out in front of him.
[17:14] (Flashback) Kazuya
You know what my ideal girlfriend's like?
[17:18] Chizuru
Aww, man.
[17:20] Chizuru
Weirdo.
SIGN The Aquamarine Constellation
SIGN Special Screening
[19:04] Ruka
That was great!
[19:17] Tabuse
Chizuru-chan.
[19:18] Chizuru
Oh, Director.
[19:19] Tabuse
Looking for Kazuya?
[19:21] Chizuru
Yes, I am.
[19:22] Tabuse
He went to the office
to thank the cinema staff.
[19:25] Chizuru
Is that so?
[19:27] Tabuse
Got a minute to talk?
[19:29] Tabuse
Did you get to show your grandmother the movie?
SIGN I couldn't ask in
front of other people
[19:31] Chizuru
Oh... Yes, thankfully.
[19:33] Tabuse
I see. That's great.
[19:36] Chizuru
You knew what happened at the hospital?
[19:39] Tabuse
Honestly? I nearly had a heart attack.
[19:42] Tabuse
I messaged Kazuya to say the edit was done,
[19:44] Tabuse
and he immediately showed up at my place.
Even asked to borrow the projector.
[19:48] Tabuse
He looked more desperate
than I'd ever seen him.
SIGN Burned out
SIGN Space
[19:58] Kazuya
It's over... my summer break.
[20:01] Kazuya
The peak of my youth.
[20:05] Kazuya
I'm glad everyone seemed to like the movie.
[20:11] Kazuya
I went and remembered it again!
SIGN One week has passed, but nothing's changed
[20:13] Kazuya
What was the deal with those tears?!
[20:16] Kazuya
Mizuhara was acting perfectly normal today.
[20:18] Kazuya
Are we really gonna sweep
the whole thing under the rug?
[20:22] Kazuya
But that means she really didn't want
anyone to see her like that, right?
[20:27] Kazuya
Bringing it back up would be rude.
[20:28] Chizuru
Hey there.
[20:29] Kazuya
Brr! Mizuhara?
[20:31] Chizuru
What are you doing out here?
SIGN Thanks for
the drink
[20:33] Kazuya
T-Taking a quick timeout.
[20:35] Chizuru
Not going to the wrap party?
[20:37] Kazuya
I am.
[20:38] Chizuru
What about Ruka-chan?
[20:40] Kazuya
She's got a shift penciled in
at work for later today.
[20:43] Chizuru
Well, she's not of drinking age,
so I guess she couldn't party anyway.
[20:47] Kazuya
She really is acting normal.
[20:48] Kazuya
I choose not to talk about it.
I am a tactful guy.
[20:52] Chizuru
The movie got a good response.
[20:54] Kazuya
Y-Yeah. All thanks to your performance.
[20:59] Chizuru
What's with the stereotypical
producer's interview answer?
[21:01] Kazuya
Lay off me.
[21:06] Kazuya
Hey, uh, what are you gonna do?
[21:09] Kazuya
Still gonna be an actress?
[21:13] Chizuru
Oh, right. Grandma's gone now and all.
[21:17] Kazuya
Talk about blunt!
[21:19] Chizuru
I'll keep acting.
[21:21] Chizuru
I like performing, and I'm sure Grandma's
still watching me from somewhere.
[21:26] Chizuru
All I did was screen a self-produced movie
in a hospital room for her.
[21:30] Chizuru
I want her to see me shining on screen
as a top actress from up in heaven.
[21:34] Kazuya
Mizuhara...
[21:36] Chizuru
I don't think the human heart is big
enough to hold both sorrow and joy.
[21:43] Chizuru
And that's fine.
[21:44] Chizuru
I'll just throw myself into everything I do,
[21:47] Chizuru
and have a blast doing it!
[21:49] Chizuru
I had loads of fun making
this movie, too, after all!
[21:55] Chizuru
Anyway, I'll go on ahead.
SIGN Cute...
[22:01] Kazuya
I don't know what effect
all that stuff I did had, but...
[22:03] Kazuya
W-Wait. I'll come with you.
[22:05] Kazuya
Mizuhara's smile at that moment
seemed brighter than before.
[22:08] Kazuya
I'll show you the way!
[22:11] Kazuya
All the worries plaguing my mind
[22:14] Kazuya
were melted away by that smile.
[22:17] Kazuya
And I learned once again that Mizuhara's
always helping me move forward in life.
SIGN Karaoke Village
[22:30] Ruka
I wonder if Kazuya will like it.
[22:38] Old Man
Why, hello there.
[22:48] Kibe
Yeah, I'm almost there.
[22:52] Kibe
What? You want to bring in another advisor?
[22:55] Kibe
Oh, you became friends on social media?
SIGN Aren't you supposed
to be, like, old?
[22:59] Kibe
If you trust them, then I'm all for it.
[23:03] Kibe
They're here today?
[23:06] Nagomi
Oh, Yoshiaki! Over here!
[23:09] Kibe
Hey there.
[23:11] Mami
Oh, Kibe-chan!
[23:13] Mami
Hello!
[23:14] Kibe
Mami...chan?
