**[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**
P-Pro...?!
**[05:11] Kazuya**
*Music to my ears!*
***SIGN*** fidget fidget
***SIGN*** ba-dump ba-dump
***SIGN*** Yeah, I guess
I would be...
***SIGN*** fidget fidget
***SIGN*** fidget fidget
***SIGN*** fidget fidget
***SIGN*** fidget fidget
***SIGN*** fidget fidget
**[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?
***SIGN*** Whisper
**[06:24] Kazuya**
If she knew you were just helping
me out as a rental girlfriend,
***SIGN*** Whisper
***SIGN*** Whisper
***SIGN*** Whisper
***SIGN*** Whisper
***SIGN*** Whisper
***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*** Roll Roll
***SIGN*** Clothes in the dresser,
stack up the papers,
put away the sexy photobooks
**[12:11] Kazuya**
Crap, I bet it stinks in here!
**[12:13] Kazuya**
Die! Die, my BO!
***SIGN*** G3
Summit
**[12:15] Kazuya**
*I know Mizuhara's come here before,*
***SIGN*** Passing
through
**[12:18] 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
connection!!
**[12:46] Kazuya**
Sigh... I can't take it.
**[12:49] Kazuya**
I love her.
**[12:51] Kazuya**
Wait, now's not the time!
**[12:51] Sign**
Shonen Magazine
**[12:53] Kazuya**
What am I, the heroine of some shoujo manga?!
**[12:55] Kazuya**
Gotta run the roller over
every spot that gets sunlight!
***SIGN*** Rustle Rustle
***SIGN*** Roll Roll
**[12:58] Kazuya**
Get as many clothes into
the dresser as possible!
***SIGN*** Like my undies!
Especially my undies!
***SIGN*** Rustle Rustle
***SIGN*** Roll Roll
***SIGN*** Rustle Rustle
***SIGN*** Roll Roll
***SIGN*** ba-dump ba-dump
***SIGN*** Fast...
**[13:20] Chizuru**
Evening.
***SIGN*** Gulp
**[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
a
f
t
**[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
an idiot!!
**[20:34] Kazuya**
It's fine. I don't wanna bother you.
***SIGN*** Tap Tap
***SIGN*** Typing nothing
at all
**[20:36] Kazuya**
*I've never hated my lazy ass more than now!*
***SIGN*** Grooowl
**[20:40] Chizuru**
Sheesh.
**[20:42] Chizuru**
At least keep some eggs and milk on hand.
**[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
of a
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.
**[23:18] Chizuru**
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.*
**[23:36] Kazuya**
*And these times are gonna continue!*
**[23:44] Ruka**
Huh?!
**[23:45] Kazuya/Chizuru**
What?
**[23:46] Ruka**
What?!

**[00:03] Kazuya**
Gah...
**[00:04] Kazuya**
*Sh-She saw us!*
**[00:06] Chizuru**
Ruka-chan?
***SIGN*** Fwoop
***SIGN*** Horns?
**[00:09] Ruka**
Explain yourselves!
When did you two get together?!
**[00:13] Kazuya**
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.
**[02:14] Chizuru**
Do you have time to talk?
**[02:16] Kazuya**
Mizuhara?
***SIGN*** Stagger
***SIGN*** Plod Plod
**[02:46] Mini**
Rental girlfriend?
**[02:49] Mini**
Messy drama alert!
***SIGN*** Rent-a-Girlfriend
***SIGN*** Sniffle
**[04:24] Ruka**
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**
*Yeah... She really is a nice girl!*
**[05:39] Ruka**
I'll help out with the movie, too.
**[05:42] Chizuru**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Making a Movie Starring Actress Ichinose Chizuru
**[05:42] Kazuya**
What?
**[05:43] Chizuru**
Wha...
**[05:44] Kazuya**
R... Ruka-chan? What brought this on?
**[05:46] Ruka**
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**
* But if I say the omelet rice,*
* Ruka-chan might snap again*
**[07:41] Kazuya**
*and veto the whole movie project!*
**[07:45] Kazuya**
Th-The curry, I guess?
***SIGN*** Stab
**[07:51] Ruka**
I'm so glad!
***SIGN*** Sque eze...
**[07:53] Kazuya**
*What even is this?*
***SIGN*** Fade
**[07:57] Kazuya**
*I'm so sorry, Mizuhara!*
***SIGN*** I don't mean it!!
***SIGN*** She understands...
**[08:04] Kazuya**
*Mizuhara!*
**[08:07] Kazuya**
*She's looking at me like a saint!*
**[08:09] Chizuru**
Okay, I'm heading back.
***SIGN*** You're
hopeless.
**[08:10] Fish**
*You're hopeless.*
**[08:11] Kazuya**
Oh, okay.
**[08:12] Chizuru**
And you, Ruka-chan?
**[08:14] Ruka**
Oh, I'll stay a while.
***SIGN*** Huh? You will?
**[08:16] Chizuru**
Really? How lovey-dovey.
**[08:18] Ruka**
You bet! I'm his girlfriend, after all!
***SIGN*** What is this convo?
***SIGN*** I'm sweating buckets
**[08:23] Chizuru**
Bye.
**[08:24] Ruka**
Goodnight!

Th-The curry, I guess?

Huh.

Ah, man...

You don't have to laugh at me!
**[09:31] Sayuri**
Forgive me.
**[09:33] Sayuri**
I'll cheer you on, of course.
I think it's a wonderful idea.
**[09:38] Sayuri**
It's Kazuya-kun, isn't it?
**[09:41] Sayuri**
He found out that you wanted
me to see you star in a movie,
**[09:45] Sayuri**
and he offered to pitch in and help.
**[09:48] Sayuri**
Am I right?
**[09:51] Chizuru**
*How could she tell?*
**[09:53] Sayuri**
You can write whatever
you like about me, of course.
**[09:58] Sayuri**
In fact, why don't we say
I only have a week left to live

Oh, really?
***SIGN*** She's delighted
**[10:08] Sayuri**
I can't wait!
**[10:10] Sayuri**
I really need to thank Kazuya-kun.
**[10:17] Chizuru**
Say, how did you feel back then?
**[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**
Nobody in this world is perfect.
**[10:55] Sayuri**
That's why we all have the people around
us provide whatever we're lacking.
**[11:01] Sayuri**
Chizuru...
**[11:03] Sayuri**
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.
**[12:09] Chizuru**
Grandma gave her permission, too.
**[12:12] Chizuru**
We can write all about her.
**[12:14] Kazuya**
C-Cool! That's great!
**[12:16] Kazuya**
*She's being kind of distant?*

You're a nice guy.

**[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.

I'm grateful.

Well, as your girlfriend, I'm not a fan.
**[14:59] Ruka**
But I don't wanna go against your wishes.

And I understand the situation
with Chizuru-san's grandmother.

And most of all, Kazuya-kun...

I love that blind,

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...

I can see why your girlfriend is worried.

D-Delete that!

Oh, sorry.

It's already been backed up to cloud storage.

*Why?*

"Will a day ever come when this pays off?"

Huh? Self-defense?

Again, like I said,
**[20:57] Kazuya**
I'm not hoping for anything in return!
**[21:00] Kazuya**
Besides, Mizuhara probably
doesn't feel anything for me.
**[21:06] Mini**

I'm your

**[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!*
**[22:05] Kazuya**
No, no! Nope!
**[22:07] Mini**
You're hopeless, Master.
**[22:10] Mini**

I can't stop thinking about Mizuhara.
**[00:53] Kazuya**
* And all because Yaemori-san*
* had to go and say that to me.*
**[00:57] Kazuya**
*Gah, I gotta focus on producing this film!*
***SIGN*** These distractions are
dominating my mind!!
**[01:04] Kazuya**
*But it was valuable advice from a girl.*
**[01:07] Kazuya**
*Maybe there's something to it.*
**[01:09] Kazuya**
I hope Mizuhara likes the script...
**[01:16] Chizuru**
Yep, this is good!
**[01:21] Chizuru**
Not bad, Producer.
***SIGN*** Today
***SIGN*** Ichinose Chizuru

***SIGN*** Rent-a-Girlfriend
***SIGN*** "Expert and Girlfriend"
**[03:09] Guys**
Yo, what is up with that?!
**[03:11] Guys**
It's like there's a spotlight on her.
**[03:13] Guys**
Is there a shoot happening around here?
**[03:15] Guys**
So she's a model?
**[03:17] Girl**
She's so pretty.
**[03:19] Guys**
Check out them long legs!
**[03:20] Guys**
Man, I wish I could date someone like her!
**[03:24] Chizuru**
Oh, hey.
**[03:25] Guys**
She was waiting for *him*? Are you kidding me?!
***SIGN*** Why
him
...?
**[03:27] Guys**
But he's trash...
**[03:29] Kazuya**
D-Did you wait long?
**[03:30] Chizuru**
Nah, just got here.
**[03:33] Kazuya**
We're meeting an
upperclassman from the film club.
**[03:35] Kazuya**
At a café three minutes away by foot.
**[03:37] Chizuru**
Okay.
**[03:38] Chizuru**
That'll be 27,000 yen.
**[03:41] Kazuya**
What?!
**[03:42] Chizuru**
Just kidding.
**[03:43] Kazuya**
N-No bullying!

**[03:46] Tabuse**
Wow.
**[03:47] Tabuse**
I had no idea such a beauty
went to our college.
**[03:50] Chizuru**
Oh, please.
**[03:52] Kazuya**
Hey, uh, Tabuse-san!
**[03:54] Kazuya**
Please keep her acting career
a secret at school.
**[03:58] Tabuse**
Gotcha. I won't tell anyone.
**[04:00] Chizuru/Kazuya**
Thank you very much.
**[04:02] Tabuse**
Will you be okay, though?
It's a tight schedule.
**[04:05] Tabuse**
Can you memorize all your lines?
**[04:07] Chizuru**
I will.
***SIGN*** So cool...
**[04:10] Tabuse**
Great.
**[04:14] Tabuse**
Huh? It's raining?
**[04:16] Kazuya**
I'll go buy an umbrella!
**[04:18] Chizuru**
Hey...
**[04:20] Tabuse**
He's been like that the whole time.
**[04:22] Chizuru**
Huh?
**[04:23] Tabuse**
He didn't tell you?
**[04:24] Tabuse**
About how he had to convince
me to join this project?
**[04:27] Chizuru**
Convince you?
**[04:28] Tabuse**
Our club had already decided on
a film to shoot over summer break.
**[04:33] Tabuse**
At first, I told him I couldn't do it.
**[04:35] Tabuse**
But then...
**[04:37] (Flashback) Kazuya**
I owe her everything!
**[04:40] (Flashback) Kazuya**
She helped me out when I hit rock-bottom.
**[04:43] (Flashback) Kazuya**
Just having her by my side
makes me try harder in life.
**[04:46] (Flashback) Kazuya**
So this time, it's my turn
**[04:49] (Flashback) Kazuya**
to help her out!
**[04:52] Tabuse**
I really wanted to see and talk to you.
**[04:55] Tabuse**
And see what this actress
he's totally smitten with is like.
**[05:07] Chizuru**
All right!
**[05:09] Chizuru**
*Now it's time for me to step up to the plate.*
**[05:13] Kazuya**
Yeah.
**[05:14] Kazuya**
Right, got it.
**[05:16] Kazuya**
Sorry, I'll do my best.
***SIGN*** 0 backers in the last
**[05:18] Kazuya**
Yeah, of course!
**[05:19] Kazuya**
Goodbye.
**[05:22] Kazuya**
Argh! What do I do?!
**[05:25] Kazuya**
We launched three weeks ago,
***SIGN*** 0 backers in the last
**[05:27] Kazuya**
and we're down to zero backers
in the last 24 hours!
**[05:29] Kazuya**
Our page views keep dwindling, too!
**[05:32] Kazuya**
*Only two weeks left in the project...*
**[05:35] Kazuya**
*No wonder Shimizu-san called me all worried.*
***SIGN*** Wireless

Not even close!
**[05:45] Kazuya**
I gotta talk to Mizuhara...
**[05:47] Kazuya**
No! I'd look like a total loser!
***SIGN*** After I promised
the world to her
**[05:51] Kazuya**
*What should I do?*
**[05:53] Kazuya**
* If this keeps up, I'm not gonna be able*

**[06:00] Kazuya**
Yes?
***SIGN*** Mei 4 Lyfe
**[06:00] Mini**
Morning, Master!
**[06:02] Kazuya**
Yaemori-san?
**[06:04] Kazuya**
What brings you here?
**[06:05] Mini**
You know exactly what!
**[06:07] Mini**
Have you made any progress with Mizuhara-san?
***SIGN*** Huh?! Progress?!
**[06:10] Mini**
Anything happen?
**[06:11] Mini**
You're not giving me any updates!
**[06:13] Mini**
I'm so curious, I can't sleep at night!
**[06:13] Kazuya**
Hey, wait! Quit pushing!
**[06:16] Mini**
My mind's constantly spinning
like a "Now Loading" icon!
**[06:17] Kazuya**
Wh-Whoa, don't come in! Calm down!
**[06:20] Mini**
Don't worry! "Stay calm" is my motto in life!
**[06:22] Mini**
You spent time together in your apartment!
There's gotta be something!
**[06:26] Mini**
Gotta strike while the iron is hot!
**[06:28] Kazuya**
* She's convinced Mizuhara and I*
* have feelings for each other.*
**[06:32] Mini**
Huh? Is that Mizuhara-san?!
**[06:34] Kazuya**
*Huh... Oh, crap!*
**[06:34] Mini**
Crowdfunding? A movie?!
**[06:36] Mini**
What's this about, Master?!
**[06:38] Kazuya**
*Oh, well. She knows everything, anyway.*
**[06:41] Mini**
Oh, the tears!
***SIGN*** A cruel
twist of fate
**[06:44] Mini**
Mizuhara-san really is a great person!
***SIGN*** You keep making
me cry, Master!!
**[06:47] Mini**
Lemme take a selfie 'cause I cried.
***SIGN*** Monetizing
the tears
***SIGN*** What is
her deal?
**[06:50] Kazuya**
So, yeah, we just had a meeting.
We aren't really—
**[06:54] Mini**
What are you saying?!
**[06:55] Mini**
The fact that she's
entrusting her dream to you,
***SIGN*** Either way,
you're in!
**[06:58] Mini**
a client, is proof that you have her trust!
***SIGN*** She just
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**

***SIGN*** Backers: 18 Delivery: Upon completion
**[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.
**[12:24] (Flashback) Kazuya**
They've been an amazing friend to me.

*And Ruka-chan isn't here today.*
**[13:21] Kazuya**
* I can't even hand out fifty*

*Wait, no! Don't let it get you down!*

Please ta—
**[13:33] Kazuya**
Wha?!
**[13:36] Kazuya**
*Sumi-chan? Why?*
**[13:38] Kazuya**
* I guess I am in Shinjuku...*
* and I'm sticking out like a sore thumb.*
**[13:42] Kazuya**
Wh-What a coincidence!
What are you doing here?
***SIGN*** Text
communication
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**
Please take a flier!

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?

**[00:01] Mini**
He's in love with you!
**[00:04] Chizuru**
...he's not stupid enough to get
serious about a rental girlfriend.
**[00:09] Mini**
Among your clients may be someone
who could make you happy for life!
**[00:17] Chizuru**
This is why the terms of service exist.
***SIGN*** And the clients have
to sign off on them
**[00:21] Chizuru**
Having this conversation
without him is ridiculous.
**[00:23] Chizuru**
I've heard how he feels straight
from him. This is pointless.
**[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
whistling
**[04:47] Kazuya**
Did I do something to upset her?
***SIGN*** fshoo
***SIGN*** fshoo
***SIGN*** fshoo
**[04:52] Kazuya**
Eh?
**[04:53] Mini**
Is that so?
**[04:54] Mini**
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
***SIGN*** Crack
**[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.
**[12:09] Guys**
Not sure what I was expecting.
***SIGN*** Shine
***SIGN*** Hahaha
***SIGN*** Pleasant
***SIGN*** We're no
match for him
**[12:11] Guys**
'Tis a cruel world we live in.
**[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.
***SIGN*** Alarm
***SIGN*** Shinjuku Handing Out Flyers
***SIGN*** Just Now
**[17:34] Chizuru**
Sorry, Umi-kun! I have to go!
**[17:37] Chizuru**
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**
Do you wanna go grab a bite?
**[18:00] All**
Please take one!
**[18:01] All**
Please back our project!
**[18:03] All**
For you.
**[18:03] All**
We need your support!
***SIGN*** Please

***SIGN*** Please back
our project
**[18:06] Kazuya**
Please... Oh.
**[18:11] Chizuru**
Good grief.
**[18:14] Chizuru**
You suck at this. Give me half.
***SIGN*** She
came!!
**[18:20] Kazuya**
*Mizuhara!*
**[18:20] Chizuru**
Why'd you freeze up?
**[18:22] Kazuya**
S-Sorry.
**[18:22] Kazuya**
*She came back to us!*
**[18:24] Chizuru**
Thanks.
**[18:25] Kazuya**
*But I wonder how it went with Umi-kun.*
**[18:28] Kazuya**
*I hope nothing happened!*
**[18:30] Kazuya**
*I'm too scared to ask!*
***SIGN*** Pandora's
box
**[18:32] Chizuru**
What's up? Is there a problem?
**[18:36] Kazuya**
How about with Umi-kun?
***SIGN*** Where are you
even looking?
**[18:37] Kazuya**
No incidents there?
**[18:39] Chizuru**
What do you mean, "incidents"?
**[18:40] Kazuya**
Uh, nothing specific...
**[18:42] Kazuya**
*Like a kiss!*
***SIGN*** Don't make
me spell
it out
**[18:44] Kazuya**
*I mean like a kiss!*
**[18:45] Chizuru**
Please don't make any weird assumptions.
**[18:47] Chizuru**
I told you, I was just a sub.
***SIGN*** We just went to
watch a play
***SIGN*** Exactly the words
I wanted to hear!!
**[18:51] Kazuya**
*Ah... I'm so glad!*
**[18:54] Chizuru**
Anyway, I'll handle things over there.
**[18:57] Kazuya**
O-Okay.
**[19:00] Kazuya**
Please take one!
**[19:03] Kazuya**
We need your help.
**[19:05] Kazuya**
Please take one!
**[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*** 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*

**[00:09] Kibe**
What is with your random bursts of "woe is me"?!
**[00:12] Kazuya**
N-Nothing, really!
**[00:12] Kazuya**
*And I can't talk to Kibe about it...*
**[00:14] Kibe**
How bad can you be at hiding it?
**[00:15] Kazuya**
Listen, it happens to the best of us.
**[00:17] Kazuya**
We all get carried away sometimes
and set big goals,
**[00:21] Kazuya**
but when things start to get real,
**[00:23] Kazuya**
we get cold feet.
**[00:25] Kibe**
What, you gonna put a ring on

But when you've got such
a top-tier beauty by your side,
**[00:38] Kibe**
I don't think there's a single thing
you need to be afraid of.
**[00:40] Kazuya**
* Uh, the problem is,*
* she's not really my girlfriend.*
***SIGN*** Man, I'm so sorry
**[00:44] Kibe**
Besides, I like people
who really screw up big time.
**[00:47] Kazuya**
Huh?
**[00:48] Kibe**
While I wouldn't go as far as to say
failing can be good at times,
**[00:51] Kibe**
any failure you experience
after going through great pains
**[00:54] Kibe**
will give your words extra weight.
**[00:57] Kibe**
Miss me with talk about getting
a bargain on a sweet watch.
**[00:59] Kibe**
But talk of buying some bullshit for big money?
**[01:02] Kibe**
That's the kinda thing I'd wanna hear.
**[01:04] Kazuya**
Kibe...
**[01:05] Kibe**

***SIGN*** Gulp
**[03:03] Tabuse**
I'd like to officially begin filming here.
I'm Tabuse, the director.
**[03:08] Tabuse**
This project and its funding
methods may be unique,
**[03:10] Tabuse**
but filming will be no
different from the usual,
**[03:13] Tabuse**
so let's get out there and make a masterpiece.
**[03:17] Tabuse**
Now, a word from Ichinose-san, the lead.
**[03:20] Chizuru**
R-Right.
**[03:22] Chizuru**
I am really grateful for this opportunity.
***SIGN*** Cute...
(as always)
**[03:24] Chizuru**
Thank you all very much.
**[03:28] Chizuru**
I'm sure there will be ups and downs,
**[03:31] Chizuru**
but I intend to do my job
as an actor and then some,
**[03:34] Chizuru**
so please bear with me.
**[03:39] Kazuya**
*How lovely!*
**[03:40] Kazuya**
*Yikes, I'm starting to get teary-eyed...*
**[03:43] Tabuse**
Next, Kazuya.
**[03:45] Tabuse**
You're the producer.
You gotta say something, too, obviously.
**[03:47] Kazuya**
U-Uh...
**[03:53] (Flashback) Kibe**
Anyway, give it your best shot.
**[03:55] Kazuya**
*Yeah, yeah, that's right.*
**[03:58] Kazuya**
* I made up my mind to see*
* this through, no matter what.*
**[04:01] Kazuya**
Um... I don't know my left from my right!
**[04:04] Kazuya**
But I know I want to make this film a success!
**[04:06] Kazuya**
That desire is very, very real!
**[04:09] Kazuya**
So I'm counting on you all!
***SIGN*** Silence
***SIGN*** Shocked
**[04:14] Kazuya**
*Crap, I got too worked up!*
**[04:25] Tabuse**
Ha, love how childish that was.
**[04:27] Staff**
Wow, you're pumped up! I love it!
**[04:29] Tabuse**
Okay, let's get to work!

**[05:06] Ruka**
Oh, I'm so, so thirsty.
**[05:09] Ruka**
And hungry.
**[05:10] Kazuya**
Here.
**[05:11] Ruka**
And it's so hot out!
**[05:13] Kazuya**
Here, here, here.
**[05:14] Tabuse**
Then you throw this plushie...
**[05:17] Ruka**
But I get to spend time with you
as long as I'm on the set.
**[05:20] Ruka**
I'm starting to love movie production!
**[05:22] Tabuse**
Starting Scene 138.
**[05:25] Tabuse**
In this scene, the job hunt's getting to Kyoko.
**[05:28] Tabuse**
She hugs her grandma's plushie and
cries her heart out. It's a crucial scene.
**[05:33] Tabuse**
It's a long one, so do your best.
**[05:35] Chizuru**
Got it.
**[05:36] Tabuse**
Okay, let's do this!
**[05:37] Tabuse**
Set it up!
***SIGN*** Gulp
**[05:43] Tabuse**
A cicada?
**[05:44] Tabuse**
Come on... We can't film with this noise.
**[05:47] Staff**
There, Director!
**[05:52] Tabuse**
Do we wait until it stops?
**[05:54] Staff**
But the sun sets soon.
**[05:56] Staff**
And if it does, we'll lose consistency
with the previous scene.
**[06:01] Kazuya**
Let me go take a look!
**[06:02] Tabuse**
Hey, Kazuya!
**[06:08] Staff**
That's dangerous!
**[06:09] Ruka**
Kazuya-kun?!
**[06:10] Staff**
Stop it!
**[06:11] Kazuya**
*You gotta be kidding me!*
**[06:12] Staff**
Don't push yourself!
**[06:13] Kazuya**
*We've come this far...*
**[06:13] Staff**
It's not safe!
**[06:16] Kazuya**
*I'm not letting some bug stop us!*
**[06:20] Chizuru**
That idiot...

Grab some towels!
**[06:30] Ruka**
You okay, Kazuya-kun?
**[06:32] Tabuse**
Okay, now's our chance.
**[06:39] Tabuse**
Scene 138, Cut 1, go!
**[06:47] Kazuya**
*I'm glad we could resume...*
**[06:55] Kazuya**
*It was beautiful. I truly felt so.*
**[06:59] Kazuya**
*Mizuhara's teary face, dyed in the setting sun,*
**[07:03] Kazuya**
*made it look like Kyoko was there in the flesh.*
**[07:07] Kazuya**
*Some of the film club members*
***SIGN*** Sniff
**[07:09] Kazuya**
*even cried along with her.*
**[07:11] Kazuya**
*How does someone even get to act like that?*
**[07:15] Kazuya**
*She must've practiced every waking moment,*
**[07:17] Kazuya**
*chasing this dream since she was little.*
**[07:20] Kazuya**
*Even when she got close to giving up,*
**[07:22] Kazuya**
*she must've seen it as an opportunity to grow.*
**[07:26] Kazuya**
* I can tell... Mizuhara's*
* gonna be an absolute star.*
**[07:31] Kazuya**
* She'll be in movies,*
* commercials, and prime time TV,*
**[07:35] Kazuya**
*and become a household name in Japan.*
**[07:38] Kazuya**
*And when she does, where will I be?*
**[07:42] Kazuya**
*Where will I...*
**[07:53] Kazuya**
We live in completely different worlds...
**[07:56] Kazuya**
Gah! What is this impossible
wall separating us?!
**[08:01] Kazuya**
Are we truly the same species?
Are we really both homo sapiens?!
***SIGN*** Yikes!!
**[08:04] Kazuya**
*I always knew she was amazing,*
**[08:07] Kazuya**
* but seeing that performance really*
* made the gap between us obvious.*
***SIGN*** Happy realization!
**[08:11] Fish**
Happy realization!
**[08:12] Kazuya**
*No doubt about it.*
**[08:13] Kazuya**
* Mizuhara's gonna become*
* a top-of-the-line actress.*
**[08:17] Kazuya**
*What about me?*
**[08:20] Kazuya**
*I've got my family store...*
**[08:23] Kazuya**
*I don't have any stand-out talents.*
**[08:25] Kazuya**
*And this'll be my first and last film.*
**[08:28] Kazuya**
* With the crowdfunding campaign,*
* and now the filming,*
**[08:30] Kazuya**
*I'd thought we'd gotten closer, but...*
**[08:35] Kazuya**
*People are just born different.*
**[08:37] Kazuya**
*It's the harsh reality of life.*
**[08:40] Chizuru**
Good morning.
**[08:42] Chizuru**
I'll be counting on you all again.
**[08:44] Staff**
Morning, Kyoko-chan.
**[08:45] Chizuru**
Good morning.
**[08:47] Kazuya**
*Yeah, she was born different.*
**[08:49] Kazuya**
*Super pretty!*
**[08:51] Chizuru**
Morning.
**[08:54] Kazuya**
Oh, uh, morning.
***SIGN*** busy busy
***SIGN*** So much to do
**[08:58] Chizuru**
My mother's recommendation
was partly why I applied to this job.
**[09:02] Chizuru**
The main cause of periodontal disease,
**[09:04] Chizuru**
*Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans*,
is just one...
**[09:07] Kazuya**
*Yeah, she's incredible!*
**[09:09] Tabuse**
We can't film the parking lot scene in this rain.
**[09:12] Tabuse**
Take a break!
**[09:15] Kazuya**
The more I see of her acting, the worse I feel.
**[09:18] Kazuya**
*It's become this shared secret between us now,*
**[09:22] Kazuya**
*but given her talent,*
**[09:24] Kazuya**
* she could've made her dream come true*
* even sooner if I hadn't butted in.*
**[09:29] Kazuya**
*Making this movie won't make things up to her.*
**[09:31] Kazuya**
*I'm sorry, Mizuhara...*
**[09:33] Kazuya**
*So sorry.*
**[09:37] Kazuya**
*Mizuhara!*
***SIGN*** Stiffen
***SIGN*** Why is
she here?
**[09:39] Chizuru**
What, you're alone?
***SIGN*** Why
are
you
stiffening
up?
**[09:41] Chizuru**
Sorry to interrupt your break.
**[09:42] Chizuru**
I need signal to call my grandma.
**[09:46] Kazuya**
*She can't relax with me around!*
**[09:48] Kazuya**
O-Okay, I'll leave you to it.
**[09:51] Chizuru**
Wait a sec.
**[09:52] Chizuru**
Have I done something?
**[09:55] Chizuru**
You're free to dislike me,
**[09:56] Chizuru**
but I can't have my producer
avoid me like this.
**[09:58] Kazuya**
I... I'm not!
**[10:00] Chizuru**
Well, whatever.
**[10:03] Kazuya**
*Mizuhara really is crazy pretty.*
**[10:06] Kazuya**
*She looks great in a suit, and in the rain.*
**[10:10] Kazuya**
*She's in a different realm compared to me.*
**[10:13] Kazuya**
I just thought that "top actress" and
"store manager" don't go well together.
**[10:18] Kazuya**
Seeing your acting, I realized all
over again how awesome you are.
**[10:23] Kazuya**
But that's because you've been
working toward this all your life.
**[10:27] Kazuya**
Meanwhile, I've been
nothing but a burden to you.
**[10:32] Kazuya**
Sorry for holding you back.
**[10:34] Chizuru**
Are you stupid?
**[10:36] Kazuya**
Wha? Stu—
**[10:37] Chizuru**
So what if I'm an actress?
**[10:38] Chizuru**
So what if you're gonna be a store owner?
**[10:40] Chizuru**
If that's gotten you all insecure,
**[10:42] Chizuru**
you better apologize to every
store owner in this country.
**[10:45] Chizuru**
An actor and someone taking over the
family store both do it for their families.
**[10:49] Chizuru**
There's no hierarchy there.
**[10:51] Chizuru**
While you may be...
**[10:53] Chizuru**

clumsy, foolish, and pathetic,

That's all anyone needs.
**[11:01] Chizuru**
No more, no less.
**[11:03] Kazuya**
Mizuhara...
**[11:04] Chizuru**
Not once.
**[11:05] Kazuya**
Huh?
**[11:07] Chizuru**
Not once have I ever regretted meeting you.
**[11:12] Chizuru**
I've wanted to sock you
in the face plenty, though.
**[11:17] Chizuru**
I guess I *have* socked you a few times, too...
**[11:20] Tabuse**
The rain's let up!
Let's get back to work, Kyoko-chan!
**[11:23] Chizuru**
C-Coming!
**[11:24] Chizuru**
Let's go, Producer.
**[11:29] Staff**
Somebody help me out here.
**[11:31] Kazuya**
*And so, the filming of our amateur film*
**[11:31] Kazuya**
Sure, let me!
**[11:33] Staff**
You're really up for this.
**[11:34] Kazuya**
Yeah, I can do anything!
**[11:34] Kazuya**
* pretty much wrapped up,*
* leaving just one last scene.*
**[11:36] Staff**
Dude, weren't you down in the dumps yesterday?
**[11:39] Kazuya**
Not at all!
***SIGN*** Beyond the clouds always lies a clear blue sky.
**[11:43] Kazuya**
What?!
**[11:44] Kazuya**
Just me and Ichinose?!
**[11:47] Tabuse**
*You were really absorbing the filming process.*
***SIGN*** I taught you
everything I know
**[11:49] Kazuya**
Yeah, but...
**[11:51] Tabuse**
* I'll lend you the gear. I'm sure*
* you two can film that one last scene.*
**[11:54] Kazuya**
Tabuse-san?!
**[11:55] Tabuse**
I told you, the film club was planning
on making a short film ourselves.
**[12:00] Tabuse**
Your passion moved me into grabbing
people to help out with your movie,
**[12:03] Tabuse**
but we're starting our own shoots next week.
**[12:06] Tabuse**
* I mean, sure, I want to go on a Madarao*
* trip with Chizuru-san, too, but...*
**[12:09] Kazuya**
No, that's not the point here.
**[12:09] Kazuya**
*I can't go on a trip alone with Mizuhara!*
**[12:12] Tabuse**
* The ending scene with the starry sky*
* is super important, right?*
**[12:15] Tabuse**
*It doesn't have that many cuts, so you can do it.*
**[12:18] Tabuse**
*Anyway, take care of it!*
**[12:20] Kazuya**
Hey, wait!
**[12:22] Kazuya**
Dude, are you for real?!
**[12:23] Kazuya**
There's no way I can go
on a trip with just Mizuhara!
***SIGN*** Of all the crazy ideas!!
***SIGN*** Have you no tact,
Tabuse-senpai?!
**[12:27] Kazuya**
*A trip with Mizuhara...*
**[12:29] Chizuru**
Hehe, take your shot!
**[12:31] Kazuya**
Haha! Come on, stay still!
**[12:34] Fish**
What is even happening there?
***SIGN*** What is even
happening there?
**[12:35] Kazuya**
*No, that's not the issue!*
***SIGN*** Self-admonishment
**[12:38] Kazuya**
*I'm not sure I could handle filming by myself.*
**[12:41] Kazuya**
* I'd like some more people,*
* for the movie's sake.*
**[12:44] Kazuya**
*Who in our group can I ask?*
**[12:46] Mini**
Roger that.
**[12:48] Mini**
If you're okay with me, I'll help out.
**[12:50] Kazuya**
Phew, thanks.
**[12:52] Mini**
A disciple in need is a disciple indeed.
**[12:55] Kazuya**
What are you even dressed up as?
**[12:57] Mini**
Miko Kurage, a VTuber who's all the rage lately.
**[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

**[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!*
***SIGN*** Next Wednesday

**[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

* 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**
I-I know, right?
**[18:46] Kazuya**
That's what she told me over
the phone, too. Sucks for her.

***SIGN*** LIVE Audio
***SIGN*** How she made him
save her contact
**[18:57] Kazuya**
Hello? Ruka-chan?
**[18:59] Ruka**
Hello!
**[19:00] Ruka**
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
opinion of you leaps and bounds!
***SIGN*** Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
**[22:13] Kazuya**
*What exactly were you trying to say just now?*

***SIGN*** Madarao Resort Hotel
**[00:00] Chizuru**
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!
**[00:20] Chizuru**
Is that Mount Myoko?
**[00:25] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Oh, uh... It's just...
**[00:28] (Flashback) Chizuru**
I mean, uh... erm...
**[00:32] Kazuya**
*Gah! I can't!*
***SIGN*** Pretty view
**[00:34] Kazuya**
* I can't stop thinking about*
* what happened earlier!*
**[00:38] Kazuya**
* 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.
**[01:18] Staff**
Welcome! You can check in here.
**[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**
Wait! Mizuhara?
**[02:20] Chizuru**
Not like it's the first time, anyway.
**[02:22] Chizuru**
You know spendthrifts
end up forever alone, right?
***SIGN*** Rent-a-Girlfriend
***SIGN*** "Final Scene and Girlfriend"
***SIGN*** Gulp
**[04:23] Kazuya**
* I'll never get used to sleeping*
* in the same room as Mizuhara.*
**[04:28] Chizuru**
You'd better give Yaemori-san a
good talking-to when we get back.
***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?
**[04:43] Chizuru**
Come on, we're losing daylight.
***SIGN*** Strong!!
**[04:57] Kazuya**
Whoa...
**[05:01] Chizuru**
So pretty!
***SIGN*** Y-Yeah...
**[05:03] Kazuya**
We've got permission for filming,
in case you're wondering.
***SIGN*** Makes you
wanna roll
down the
hill, huh?
**[05:06] Chizuru**
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**
*We're here to finish our movie. Focus, me!*
**[05:52] Kazuya**
*I can't afford to mess this up!*
**[05:59] Chizuru**
*This is it, huh?*
***SIGN*** Kyoko
closeup
***SIGN*** Left hand closeup.
She raises her hand.
***SIGN*** Pan from
Kyoko's back to
the starry sky
as she gazes at it
**[06:12] Chizuru**
Heya.
**[06:13] Kazuya**
*Bruh!*
***SIGN*** Yukata!!
**[06:16] Chizuru**
Man, the outdoor bath is awesome!
***SIGN*** Went ahead
and took a dip
**[06:19] Chizuru**
The food was great, too.
***SIGN*** Tap
***SIGN*** Tap
***SIGN*** I should go
again in
the morning
**[06:21] Chizuru**
But we're here to film, so I feel kinda bad.
**[06:25] Chizuru**
I always change into yukatas
at hot spring resorts.
***SIGN*** I enjoy myself
like my life
depends on it
**[06:27] Kazuya**
Th-That so?
**[06:30] Kazuya**
* Guh! Yukata Mizuhara*
* really is out of this world!*
**[06:35] Chizuru**
What are you up to?
***SIGN*** Staring at that
storyboard...
**[06:37] Kazuya**
Just running final checks
on the earlier footage.
**[06:38] Kazuya**
*Too close! Too close! Too close!*
**[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**
Can't even see the ground like this.
**[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.
**[07:48] Kazuya**
*Huh? What?*
**[07:50] Kazuya**
*Picking up where she left off?*
**[07:52] Kazuya**
I don't know about that...
**[07:53] Kazuya**
*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.
**[08:24] Kazuya**
*A dark, deserted ski resort.*
**[08:27] Kazuya**
*Starry skies above!*
**[08:29] Kazuya**
*A romantic place, and a romantic situation!*
**[08:32] Kazuya**
*I knew it!*
**[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
remove
slippers
before
the
matted
section.
**[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...*
***SIGN*** Splish...
***SIGN*** Plish...
**[13:14] Kazuya**
*Gwargh!*
***SIGN*** Splish
***SIGN*** Splash
**[13:17] Kazuya**
*What the hell am I imagining?!*
***SIGN*** Mizuhara already took
a bath a few hours ago!
***SIGN*** Torment
***SIGN*** Torment
**[13:20] Kazuya**
* I have to spend all night in*
* the same room as her, too!*
***SIGN*** Torment
**[13:25] Kazuya**
*We'll be together... all night...*
**[13:28] Chizuru**
I long for a man's touch
on starry nights like these...
***SIGN*** cling
**[13:32] Kazuya**
You don't mind if I go full beast mode?
***SIGN*** All Rise
***SIGN*** Down!
**[13:37] Kazuya**
God, I'm so done with being a dude.
***SIGN*** Ba-dump
***SIGN*** Ba-dump
***SIGN*** I was just tilting
at windmills!!
**[13:55] Kazuya**
*She's asleep.*
**[13:59] Kazuya**
*Well, duh. She acted her heart out.*
**[14:04] Kazuya**
*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
matted
section.
**[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.
**[16:29] Staff**
Traveling as a couple? Must be nice.
**[16:33] Staff**
Please do visit again.
***SIGN*** Couple...
***SIGN*** Basically have the bus to ourselves
***SIGN*** Ba-dump Ba-dump
**[16:42] Kazuya**
*We're like some student couple taking the bus!*
***SIGN*** Like we're going
to school together
**[16:46] Kazuya**
* Anyway, Mizuhara's fashion*
* doesn't get mornings off, huh?*
**[16:50] Kazuya**
* Refreshing morning highlands,*
* 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**
*Could this be... the famous morning after?!*
***SIGN*** Get your head
outta the clouds
**[17:00] Fish**
Get your head outta the clouds.
**[17:02] Kazuya**
That hotel ruled, huh?
**[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.*
**[19:16] Kazuya**
Thank you, Mizuhara.
**[19:18] Kazuya**
I'm really glad I got to
make this movie with you.

**[19:44] Kazuya**
*Mizuhara's so light.*
**[19:46] Kazuya**
*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.*
**[19:59] Kazuya**
Control yourself... Control yourself...
**[20:01] Kazuya**
*I love you!*
**[20:09] Pa**
*We have arrived at Iiyama Station.*
***SIGN*** Jump
**[20:12] Kazuya**
We're here!
**[20:14] Chizuru**
What, already?
**[20:16] Chizuru**
Sorry, I fell asleep.
***SIGN*** Not
busted...!!
***SIGN*** Still in
La-La Land
**[20:21] Chizuru**
It gets hotter when you
descend the mountain, huh?
***SIGN*** Fan

***SIGN*** Ahaha... That

**[20:26] Kazuya**
*A great trip, all said and done.*
**[20:29] Ruka**
Found you!
**[20:31] Ruka**
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?!
**[20:48] Ruka**
Oh, you think you can wear a white dress now?
**[20:50] Ruka**
You thot!
**[20:52] Chizuru**
E-Excuse me?!
***SIGN*** Stare
**[20:54] Chizuru**
What are you doing?
***SIGN*** Stare
**[20:56] Ruka**
Where are the hickeys?!
**[20:57] Chizuru**
Nowhere!
**[20:58] Kazuya**
You've got it all wrong, Ruka-chan!
***SIGN*** I'm your girlfriend!!
**[21:00] Kazuya**
We were set up!
**[21:01] Ruka**
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?!
**[21:42] Ruka**
After you stayed in the same
room with Chizuru-san?!
***SIGN*** Your answer,
happy-go-lucky
Kazuya-kun?!
**[21:44] Ruka**
Have you forgotten who your girlfriend is?!
**[21:47] Kazuya**
It's you! It's you, Ruka-chan!
***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.
**[22:11] Kazuya**
Anything?

*It was August 26.*
**[00:03] Kazuya**
* I'd handed over the footage to the film club*
* and was awaiting the movie's completion.*
**[00:05] Kazuya**
Yeah. Uh, it's scheduled to

Oh, Ruka-chan. You can't do that by the door...

It's fine. These ones don't leave a mess.

I mean the noise!

You'll make it a memorable one

Yeah, well, you did ask in advance...
**[00:40] Ruka**
Yay!
**[00:41] Kazuya**
Hey, who said you could come in?!
***SIGN*** That's my

**[00:43] Ruka**
What's the problem? I *am* your girlfriend.
**[00:47] Kazuya**
*Always the loose cannon.*
**[00:50] Ruka**
Now to get ready!
**[00:53] Kazuya**
Wait, ready for what?!

*Goddamn!*
**[02:40] Kazuya**
* I mean, I did say I'd go along*
* with her to an extent,*
**[02:43] Kazuya**
*but we're starting with the pool?*
***SIGN*** Already in check by the first move!
**[02:47] (Flashback) Ruka**
...you'll give me anything I desire.
**[02:51] Kazuya**
*What does she want so badly, anyway?*
**[02:56] Kazuya**
*Another kiss?*
**[02:58] Kazuya**
*Or maybe....*

***SIGN*** What am I
even imagining?!
**[03:09] Kazuya**
* But hey, she was actually*
* a big help with the movie,*
**[03:13] Kazuya**
*and she had to miss out on the trip.*
**[03:16] Kazuya**
* I can't keep shooting all her*

**[03:19] Ruka**
I'm here.
**[03:27] Ruka**
What do you think?
***SIGN*** Defensive

**[03:33] Kazuya**
*Gah!*
**[03:34] Kazuya**
Y-You look great!
**[03:36] Ruka**
Really? I'm so glad!
***SIGN*** Close to
hyperventilating
**[03:40] Ruka**
You okay?
**[03:43] Ruka**
I didn't know what kind of
swimsuit you preferred.
**[03:44] Kazuya**
*I'm not the least bit okay.*
**[03:47] Ruka**
It was my first time buying a bikini and all...
**[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!
**[03:56] Kazuya**
*Her youthful fair skin...*
**[03:59] Kazuya**
*Her slender yet mature figure!*
**[04:02] Ruka**
So I wanted to come check it out!
**[04:02] Kazuya**
*I can tell!*
**[04:04] Kazuya**
* There are other women here, but all the*
* dudes have their eyes fixed on Ruka-chan!*
**[04:09] Kazuya**
*Her? Girlfriend?*
***SIGN*** On a trial basis, but...
**[04:11] Kazuya**
*She's my girlfriend?*
**[04:16] Ruka**
Yay, this feels so great!
**[04:19] Guys**
Look at her.
**[04:20] Guys**
She's so cute!
**[04:22] Guys**
We should try picking her up
if she's here by herself.
**[04:24] Kazuya**
*Seriously...*
**[04:26] Kazuya**
*What does she even see in me?*
**[04:31] Kazuya**
Sorry, bathroom break.
**[04:40] Ruka**
* Today's my birthday, and a great*
* opportunity to bring us closer.*
**[04:44] Ruka**
* I'm gonna make Kazuya-kun's*
* heart race for sure!*
**[04:52] Kazuya**
*I'm glad Ruka-chan's having fun,*
**[04:55] Kazuya**
*but what could she want?*
**[05:00] Kazuya**
Ruka-chan?
**[05:01] Kazuya**
What's up? Done with the pool already?
**[05:04] Ruka**
Help me out.
**[05:07] Ruka**
Put sunscreen on my back.
**[05:11] Kazuya**
Me? Why?!
**[05:13] Ruka**
It's what a boyfriend is supposed to do.
**[05:15] Ruka**
Or...
**[05:16] Ruka**
Do you not want to?
**[05:18] Kazuya**
Nah, it's not that...
**[05:21] Kazuya**
*Put sunscreen on her?*
**[05:23] Kazuya**
*This is just like in anime and manga!*
***SIGN*** An extremely
lewd sitch!!
**[05:27] Kazuya**
* But like she said,*
* it's perfectly normal among couples,*
**[05:30] Kazuya**
*so I have no reason to refuse!*
**[05:37] Kazuya**
*I'm not* touching *her.
I'm just applying this cream.*
***SIGN*** A just cause
***SIGN*** ba-dump

**[05:43] Kazuya**
H-Here I go. Ready?
***SIGN*** A virgin's unneeded question
**[05:45] Ruka**
Anytime.
**[05:53] Kazuya**
I can't! I can't do this if you're gonna squeal!
**[05:55] Ruka**
Sorry, it was just a little cold.
**[05:59] Kazuya**
*I'm gonna die!*
**[06:01] Kazuya**
*Death by moe!*
**[06:03] Ruka**
Don't miss the areas under the straps.
**[06:03] Kazuya**
*This is too lewd for me.*
**[06:06] Kazuya**
*Her back is stiffer than I expected.*
**[06:10] Kazuya**
* But thanks to that, I can feel*
* her bones and her warmth...*
**[06:14] Kazuya**
*And now I'm at full chub!*
**[06:17] Chizuru**
Oh, Ruka-chan got you hard?
Good for you, you horny dog.
**[06:21] Chizuru**
Stay away from me forever.
**[06:22] Kazuya**
I'm sorry, Mizuhara!
***SIGN*** TKO!!

Okay, all done.
**[06:31] Ruka**
Wait, wait.
**[06:36] Ruka**
Now do the legs.
**[06:38] Kazuya**
Excuse me? Can't you do that yourself?
**[06:41] Ruka**
I can.
**[06:42] Kazuya**
Uh, what?
**[06:44] Ruka**
Do you not want to?
**[06:46] Kazuya**
No, it's not that, but...
**[06:50] Kazuya**
*Her legs... Ruka-chan's legs!*
**[06:52] Kazuya**
*If I touch 'em, I'm gonna explode!*
***SIGN*** Squish
**[07:05] Kazuya**
*So soft!*
**[07:07] Kazuya**
*What is with this texture? It's girly to a T!*
**[07:10] Kazuya**
* Her skin is firm, but beyond the*
* surface it's all squish, no muscle!*
**[07:16] Kazuya**
*I'm totally feeling her up!*
***SIGN*** Aaaaaaa
**[07:19] Kazuya**
* So much for a just cause!*
* I'm just feeling her up!*
***SIGN*** Still applying
that cream,
though
**[07:22] Kazuya**
* What constitutes "legs," anyway?*
* What areas do I have to cover?*
**[07:26] Kazuya**
*What about the thighs? Do I go all the way up?*
**[07:29] Kazuya**
* I mean, I know Ruka-chan*
* wouldn't get mad at me...*
**[07:33] Kazuya**
*I can do it...*
**[07:36] Kazuya**
*I can keep going...*
**[07:39] Kazuya**
*I can go where no Kazuya has gone before!*
**[07:46] Kazuya**
Oh, looks like we're out of cream.
**[07:49] Kazuya**
I'm gonna hit the pool.
***SIGN*** She didn't
notice my
stiffy, right?
**[07:56] Kazuya**
What is even happening in my life right now?
**[08:06] Ruka**
*I may have tried a little too hard.*
***SIGN*** Heart Rate

Huh? I didn't get you one.

You jerk!

Ow, ow!
**[09:23] Ruka**
Why?!

It's your girlfriend's first birthday

***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.
**[09:40] Kazuya**
The food'll go cold...
**[09:44] Ruka**
Screw it! I'm gonna stuff my face!
***SIGN*** Your girlfriend's gonna gain weight!
Serves you right!
**[09:46] Kazuya**
Hey, wait, that's my plate!
***SIGN*** Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned
***SIGN*** Edogawa Seaside Park
**[09:53] Ruka**
Wow, it's so pretty!
**[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.

**[16:47] Chizuru**
Here, birthday present for you.
**[16:49] Sayuri**
Wow, new hospital pajamas!
**[16:52] Chizuru**
Apparently, lavender is the lucky
color for 77-year-olds right now.
**[16:56] Sayuri**
You have such great fashion taste.
I really appreciate it.
***SIGN*** Smells
great
**[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**
Don't shoot the messenger.
The facts are the facts.
**[17:30] Sayuri**
It was pouring the day you were born, too.
**[17:33] Sayuri**
The thunder was just roaring!
And the *lightning*!
**[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**
Whose influence is it?
***SIGN*** Always with the comebacks...
**[18:23] Chizuru**
Right back at you.
**[18:24] Chizuru**
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**
Um, this is Sakurasawa Sumi-chan, my friend.
***SIGN*** Creak
***SIGN*** Crack
**[19:45] Chizuru**
She's here to see you.
**[19:47] Sayuri**
My, what a lovely girl.
**[19:49] Sayuri**
Your friend from college?
***SIGN*** She's so pretty
**[19:51] Chizuru**
S-Something like that!
**[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.

***SIGN*** What is this woman
talking about right
outside my door?
**[01:43] Mini**
Oh, come on, don't be shy.
**[01:45] Mini**
Popping your cherry is a monumental event!
A new birth for a man!

Happy birthday!
**[01:48] Mini**
You're a baby again, Master.
***SIGN*** Godlike Character Designs

**[01:51] Mini**
You picked one hell of a gal
for your first, though.
**[01:54] Mini**
Once you go Mizuhara-san, other women
might as well not exist anymore.
***SIGN*** I worry about
your future sex life
**[01:59] Kazuya**
O-Oh...
**[02:01] Mini**
I really wanted to celebrate right away,
but I had to go on a trip, too.
***SIGN*** With friends
***SIGN*** Not that I care
**[02:05] Kazuya**
Huh... Really?
**[02:06] Mini**
So, yeah, I'm coming in.
***SIGN*** Gimme the
deets inside
***SIGN*** This stuff's
heavy
**[02:09] Kazuya**
Hold it right there!
**[02:12] Mini**
What?! You didn't sleep with her?!
***SIGN*** Keep it down!
***SIGN*** Ichinose
**[02:16] Kazuya**
*What if Mizuhara hears?!*
**[02:18] Mini**
Are you kidding me?!
**[02:19] Mini**
You stayed in a hotel!
Beside a liberating summer meadow!
**[02:22] Mini**
By yourselves!
**[02:24] Mini**
A man and woman, 21 and 20,
in a hotel with hot springs and yummy food!
**[02:27] Mini**
Spent a night in the same room!
**[02:28] Mini**
What about yukata? Did she wear one?!
**[02:30] Mini**
You were this close to
her in basically undies!
**[02:33] Kazuya**
I-I guess?
**[02:35] Mini**
I don't believe you.
***SIGN*** I have the creeps...
**[02:37] Kazuya**
* This girl has the wrong*
* idea about something!*
***SIGN*** Do you even have
a pair, Master?
**[02:41] Kazuya**
The shoot was more important.
**[02:43] Kazuya**
Besides, Mizuhara had
zero intentions of that sort.
**[02:46] Kazuya**
Oh, and screw you!
***SIGN*** streeetch
***SIGN*** Right, I just
remembered!
**[02:48] Kazuya**
Do you have any idea how much trouble
I had with Ruka-chan after that?!
**[02:51] Mini**
Oh, she gave me two lumps on my
head, too, so we're even there.
***SIGN*** It was like a
manga moment
**[02:55] Kazuya**
Even, my ass!
***SIGN*** You deserved it
**[02:57] Mini**
I just figured she'd give up
if you two did the deed.
***SIGN*** I didn't expect you two
to both be hopeless virgins
**[03:02] Kazuya**
My life isn't for you to control remotely!
**[03:05] Mini**
But I hope you made progress, at least?
**[03:09] Mini**
Wow, you're like an emoji!
***SIGN*** So easy to read
**[03:12] Mini**
I'm glad, because otherwise
it would've been a pointless trip.
**[03:16] Kazuya**
The point was to film!
**[03:17] Mini**
But this is bad news.
***SIGN*** I saw it on
WeTube
**[03:20] Mini**
Most people who spend a night together
and do nothing end up as just friends.
***SIGN*** R-Really?
**[03:26] Mini**
Mizuhara-san's so reserved,
it's actually a pain now.
***SIGN*** What do we do about it?
I guess some would call her
sweet and pure, but...
**[03:33] Chizuru**
Hey, your whispering is freaking me out.
**[03:37] Mini**
Mizuhara-san!
**[03:38] Kazuya**
*M-Mizuhara!*
**[03:40] Chizuru**
You do realize other people live here, right?
***SIGN*** What are you even
talking about?
**[03:43] Chizuru**
And who was it complaining about bothering
the neighbors when we first met?
**[03:46] Kazuya**
I-I'm sorry!
***SIGN*** Why am I
apologizing?
***SIGN*** Staaaaare
***SIGN*** Must've
been rough
(doesn't mean it)
**[03:48] Chizuru**
By the way, I see your flu's cleared up.
**[03:51] Mini**
Y-Yeah, it was nothing!
Easy as taking a goblin's life.
***SIGN*** With Master
**[03:55] Mini**
We were just talking about the movie.
**[03:58] Chizuru**
Huh? Do we have a problem?
**[04:00] Mini**
Absolutely not. It's all smooth sailing.
**[04:02] Chizuru**
I sure hope so.
**[04:04] Chizuru**
Oh, right. The screening's happening
at a cinema in Itabashi, right?
***SIGN*** We'll have a
wheelchair
and all
**[04:07] Chizuru**
I'll grab my grandma and head directly there.
**[04:09] Kazuya**
Okay. We've already sent
word out to the backers.
**[04:13] Kazuya**
Now we just have to send them
the thank-you gifts and the tickets.
**[04:15] Chizuru**
Cool. Please take care of it.
***SIGN*** So hot
**[04:17] Kazuya**
S-Sure.
**[04:19] Kazuya**
* When we're chatting like this,*
* it's like we're on the same team.*
**[04:23] Kazuya**
*It feels kinda nice.*
**[04:26] Ruka**
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.
***SIGN*** Shake
Shake
***SIGN*** Tremble Tremble
**[05:30] Ruka**
Oh, that said, you're bothering the
neighbors chatting outside like this.
***SIGN*** Shake
Shake
***SIGN*** Tremble Tremble
***SIGN*** Squeeze
**[05:34] Ruka**
So why don't you two run
along back to your rooms?
**[05:37] Ruka**
Shall we go, too, Kazuya?
**[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.*

**[01:33] Chizuru**
Thank you.
**[01:43] (Flashback) Kazuya**
Are you okay with not telling her about us?
**[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.*
**[02:00] Chizuru**
* And if she can hear me,*
* then I'll only end up letting her down.*
**[02:05] Chizuru**
*This is fine.*
**[02:08] Chizuru**
*It's for the best. It really is...*
**[02:19] Chizuru**
Sorry I couldn't show you that movie.
**[02:23] Chizuru**
Sorry you couldn't see me
**[02:26] Chizuru**
shining on screen.
**[02:30] Chizuru**
I did everything I could,
**[02:32] Chizuru**
but it looks like I didn't make it in time.
**[02:38] Chizuru**
I was prepared for this the
moment I heard the diagnosis.
**[02:43] Chizuru**
Thank you for hanging on for so long.
**[02:47] Chizuru**
I guess... I just wasn't good enough.
**[02:53] Chizuru**
If I'd done things better,
maybe you could've seen it...
**[03:00] Chizuru**
I'm sorry, Grandma.
**[03:03] Chizuru**
I'm sorry, Grandpa...
**[03:10] Chizuru**
I really wish you could've seen that movie.
**[03:23] Chizuru**
W-Wait, what makes you think
you can just barge in?
**[03:29] Chizuru**
Huh? Hey, are you deaf?
**[03:32] Chizuru**
What is wrong with you?
**[03:34] Chizuru**
You're starting to piss me off!

* 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.

*Mom? Are you not home yet?*

* Why am I thinking about it again?*

**[06:54] Chizuru**
*I just don't know...*
**[06:56] Chizuru**
* I don't know if I'll regret this*

**[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*

**[07:34] Chizuru**
*All it would do is make me feel better.*

* Isn't that right, Grandma?*

*Isn't that right?*
**[07:49] (Flashback) Sayuri**
What? You didn't get
into trouble for being late?
**[07:51] (Flashback) Chizuru**
Nope!
**[07:52] (Flashback) Chizuru**
I said I put my heart into
cleaning the faculty office,
**[07:55] (Flashback) Chizuru**
and Sensei praised me for it.

**[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.
**[12:41] Sayuri**
Give Kazuya-kun...
**[12:45] Sayuri**
my thanks, too.
**[12:51] Sayuri**
I love you, Chizuru.
**[12:54] Sayuri**
You are my treasure.
**[13:01] Chizuru**
Yeah, me, too.
**[13:12] Chizuru**

I love you, Grandma.

I mean!

**[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.

Did something happen?

Huh? Oh, uh, it's just a feeling!

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.*

Yeah.

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*

Ichinose-san... It's so sad.

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.

Think, Kazuya. There must be something

I can't even try.
***SIGN*** Boo Hoo...

She totally shut me out.

Haven't seen you since we handed out flyers.
Thanks for helping out with that.
**[01:58] Kazuya**
I only booked an hour today, sorry.

**[02:03] Kazuya**

I actually need some advice from you today.

**[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.
***SIGN*** Tears
**[02:59] Kazuya**
*Nothing soothing about this.*
**[03:01] Kazuya**
* Hearing about Granny Sayuri opened*

***SIGN*** She's bawling!!
**[03:06] Kazuya**
Oh?
***SIGN*** She got up

Is Chizu...
**[03:08] Kazuya**
Oh?!
***SIGN*** Can't talk, huh?
**[03:12] Kazuya**
*Aw, she couldn't keep going!*
***SIGN*** Did Chizuru-chan seem like she'd be okay?
**[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.
***SIGN*** Chugging
Darjeeling tea?!
***SIGN*** Thank you.
That was delicious.
**[04:50] Kazuya**
Huh?
**[04:50] Kazuya**
S-Sumi-chan?
**[04:52] Kazuya**
Wait, wait! Wh-Where are we going?!
**[04:54] Kazuya**
At least let me pay!
***SIGN*** I don't want us to drink and run!
***SIGN*** Shinjuku Station
**[04:58] Kazuya**
Shinjuku?
**[05:06] Kazuya**
*Why Shinjuku? Why the big city all of a sudden?*
***SIGN*** Is there something
that'll help me here?
**[05:11] Kazuya**
*She's moving fast!*
***SIGN*** She crossed the
ticket gates!
**[05:15] Kazuya**
*Are we taking the train?*
***SIGN*** Jolt
**[05:18] Kazuya**
O-One...? Track 1?
***SIGN*** Zushi 15 cars
Fujisawa 15 cars
**[05:25] Kazuya**
*The Shonan-Shinjuku Line... for Fujisawa?!*
**[05:29] Kazuya**
*Wh-What's with this train?!*
**[05:32] Kazuya**
*The Shonan area... Fujisawa? Don't tell me...*
**[05:35] Kazuya**
S-Sumi-chan, don't tell me...
**[05:41] Kazuya**
*This girl wants to go to the beach!*
**[05:47] Kazuya**
Uh, no! No way! Not happening!
**[05:49] Kazuya**
Why are we suddenly going
to the beach, anyway?
***SIGN*** Let the ocean waves
wash your worries away.
**[05:57] Kazuya**
*She's not wasting a second!*
**[06:00] Kazuya**
W-We can't!
**[06:02] Kazuya**
I only booked the one-hour plan today.
And we're almost out of time.
***SIGN*** She put her
phone away...
***SIGN*** Tense
**[06:12] Sumi**
I want to help Chizuru-chan
any way I can, too.
**[06:19] Sumi**
We can go as friends.
***SIGN*** Step Step
**[06:28] Kazuya**
*Wha?!*
***SIGN*** Her mind is made up!!
***SIGN*** Splurged on Green Car
tickets for the
touristy feel. (Went Dutch)
**[06:36] Guys**
Yo, the girl two rows behind us
on the left is so my type!
**[06:40] Guys**
Lucky guy. I wish I could hit
the Shonan waves on a date, too.
**[06:47] Kazuya**
*What is this crazy situation?*
**[06:50] Kazuya**
* Why am I suddenly going*
* to the beach with Sumi-chan?*
**[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.
**[07:09] Kazuya**
*Wait, no! My brain's going feral again!*
***SIGN*** No preying on
this innocent girl!!
**[07:13] Kazuya**
*Well, if we're talking the ocean plus worries...*
**[07:16] Kazuya**
*Something like this?*
***SIGN*** Gloom
**[07:21] Kazuya**
*Either way, we're really not talking.*
***SIGN*** 15 minutes
of silence
***SIGN*** Not that I wasn't
expecting it
**[07:25] Kazuya**
* I guess we're not in work mode anymore.*
* She doesn't have to force a conversation.*
**[07:35] Kazuya**
Huh?
**[07:36] Kazuya**
Oh, the match game?
***SIGN*** The Match Game
***SIGN*** instructions
**[07:38] Mami**
The Match Game.
**[07:39] Mami**
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.
**[07:52] Mami**
Players take turns doing this,
**[07:54] Mami**
and whoever has five open fingers
on both hands first loses.
***SIGN*** Lose
***SIGN*** Win
**[07:57] Mami**
You're all grown up,
so you know this by now, right?
**[08:00] Kazuya**
*I see.*
***SIGN*** This game doesn't
require talking, either.
**[08:02] Kazuya**
*She was looking up ways to kill time.*
**[08:05] Kazuya**
You can go first.
***SIGN*** Nod Nod
***SIGN*** tap <3
***SIGN*** smile smile
**[08:12] Kazuya**
That's your game, huh?
***SIGN*** "That's your game"?
It was the first move.
They're all the same.
**[08:14] Kazuya**
What do I do now?
**[08:16] Kazuya**
T-Take that!
***SIGN*** poof <3
***SIGN*** Soft
***SIGN*** Stare
***SIGN*** tap <3
**[08:26] Kazuya**
*What is this?*
**[08:27] Kazuya**
* We've held hands and stuff before,*
* but this is putting me on tenterhooks.*
***SIGN*** It's like we're
poking each other
**[08:32] Kazuya**
Here I go... There!
***SIGN*** Ahaha
**[08:34] Kazuya**
*Well, I'm glad Sumi-chan's having fun.*
**[08:38] Kazuya**
*What is this world of rainbows and sunshine?*
**[08:40] Kazuya**
*Talking isn't the be-all and end-all.*
**[08:43] Fish**
*That's your conclusion?*
***SIGN*** That's your conclusion?
**[08:55] Kazuya**
Yeah, I figured we wouldn't be allowed to swim.
***SIGN*** Only surfers here
**[08:58] Kazuya**
We are past mid-September and all.
***SIGN*** Sad...
**[09:03] Kazuya**
*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?*
**[10:33] Kazuya**
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**
* Why does Sumi-chan seem fine?*
* Does she play some sport or something?*
***SIGN*** Her motivation
gives her stamina
**[11:05] Kazuya**
O-Oh, the binoculars?
**[11:08] Kazuya**
*Yeah, she's having fun, all right.*
**[11:14] Kazuya**
Y-Yeah, wow, it's really pretty.
**[11:17] Kazuya**
*Uh... What is this?*
***SIGN*** I don't know
what she's
trying to do
***SIGN*** Ooh
**[11:25] Kazuya**
*So many couples here.*
**[11:28] Guy**
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**
What? We're taking the stairs down, too?
**[13:04] Kazuya**
Why aren't we taking the elevator?!
***SIGN*** A shop people
line up at for
French toast
***SIGN*** Sumi-chan, you've got
some honey on you
**[13:06] Kazuya**
Wow, this tastes amazing!
***SIGN*** Fortunes
***SIGN*** I got decent luck.
Maybe I should
try again, haha.
**[13:09] Kazuya**
What? You got top luck?
***SIGN*** flop
***SIGN*** Specialty Egg Crackers
**[13:12] Kazuya**
Whoa!
**[13:13] Kazuya**
It's gonna break!
***SIGN*** Fried Whitebait
***SIGN*** Raw
Whitebait
**[13:14] Kazuya**
*Uh, did we really have to order all this?*
***SIGN*** Whitebait
Rice Bowl
**[13:26] Kazuya**
*I'd say we had a little too much fun.*
***SIGN*** Kinda
exhausted
***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!
**[14:17] Kazuya**
*Damn, this is fun!*
***SIGN*** Second chance at youthful memories
**[14:19] Kazuya**
*So much fun!*
***SIGN*** And Sumi-chan's
so cute!
***SIGN*** The remains of
some kid's sandcastle
**[14:28] Kazuya**
D'oh! M-My phone!
***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...
**[20:19] Kazuya**
*If I don't stand by her now...*
**[20:23] Kazuya**
*Some "boyfriend" I'd be!*
**[20:25] Kazuya**
*Some man I'd be!*

*Even now, she's working.*

**[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**

**[00:04] Kazuya**
*making sure Mizuhara feels better!*
**[00:07] Kazuya**
Maybe I should greet her with a "Heya."
***SIGN*** He's totally not ready for this
**[00:10] Kazuya**
Wouldn't be good to put
her on guard, after all.
**[00:12] Kazuya**
Okay, let's do that.
**[00:14] Kazuya**
I want her to forget all the pain,
at least during the date...
***SIGN*** Poke

***SIGN*** You're here early.
Did you wait long?
***SIGN*** Took the Metro
**[01:58] Chizuru**
But it was only a train
ride away. Pretty easy.
**[02:00] Chizuru**
It's the perfect weather for a date.
***SIGN*** I'm glad it's
so nice out
**[02:03] Chizuru**
It's not easy picking out
outfits for rainy days.
**[02:05] Kazuya**
*Mizuhara seems awfully cheerful...*
***SIGN*** Totally taken
aback
**[02:08] Chizuru**
You booked me for the entire day?
Will you be okay?
***SIGN*** Financially,
I mean
**[02:11] Kazuya**
I-It's been a while and all.
**[02:13] Chizuru**
Then can I have the money?
**[02:15] Chizuru**
I'd like to get the boring stuff
over and done with.
***SIGN*** Cat Hand
***SIGN*** m 0 0 l 230 0 l 230 274 l 0 274
***SIGN*** Today's Expenses:
Basic Fee Per Hour: 6,000 yen
Choice Fee: 5,000 yen
Transport Cost (within Tokyo)
2,000 yen
= 67,000 yen
**[02:17] Kazuya**
S-Sure.
**[02:19] Chizuru**
Thanks, all done.
**[02:21] Chizuru**
Okay, where are we going,
**[02:23] Chizuru**
Kazuya-kun?
***SIGN*** Knows it's an act,
but it's still cute
**[02:25] Kazuya**
Wh... What is with that
obvious girlfriend act?
**[02:35] Kazuya**
*It's like nothing ever happened.*
***SIGN*** What
if she
really is
fine?
**[02:39] Kazuya**
* It really feels as though*
* she's completely recovered.*
***SIGN*** She's just
putting on
a brave face!
That's it!
**[02:42] Kazuya**
*No, don't be stupid! She couldn't have!*
**[02:45] Kazuya**
* The first move in the*
* Cheer Up Mizuhara Date is...*
**[02:49] Chizuru**
Huh? Anything I like?
***SIGN*** A man's pride
**[02:51] Kazuya**
Y-Yeah... I'll get you anything.
***SIGN*** Always
wanted
to use
this
line
**[02:55] Chizuru**
Why does it feel like you're trying too hard?
**[02:56] Kazuya**
Huh? What do you mean?
***SIGN*** This is just
how I look
***SIGN*** Cat Mode Redux
**[02:58] Chizuru**
But, well, the agency's told us
to accept any gifts we're offered.
***SIGN*** I gratefully accept
***SIGN*** Oh, really?
**[03:02] Kazuya**
*She's as sharp as ever.*
***SIGN*** I've looked into the prices here,
and they're not stupidly expensive
**[03:04] Kazuya**
* But she takes her fashion seriously,*
* so this should make her happy.*
**[03:08] Kazuya**
*Still...*
**[03:10] Kazuya**
*Looking at these outfits...*
***SIGN*** Squirm
***SIGN*** Squirm
**[03:13] Kazuya**
*really fuels the fantasies!*
***SIGN*** I bet this will
look great
**[03:15] Chizuru**
What? Did that catch your eye?
**[03:18] Kazuya**
Huh? No, not really.
**[03:22] Chizuru**
Sheesh.
**[03:24] Chizuru**
Pass it here.
**[03:27] Chizuru**
You want me to try it on, don't you?
**[03:30] Kazuya**
N-No, it's not that I want you to!
***SIGN*** You'd do that?!
**[03:33] Chizuru**
You really are an emoji in human form.
***SIGN*** It's written on your face
**[03:36] Chizuru**
Yeah, this looks good.
***SIGN*** I like the form
and the color
**[03:38] Chizuru**
I've been wanting fall outfits,
and this one seems versatile.
**[03:43] Chizuru**
You've got an eye for fashion.
**[03:44] Kazuya**
*That makes me so happy!*
***SIGN*** Why does it feel
so good to have
your taste in fashion
complimented by a girl?
***SIGN*** By Mizuhara,
no less
**[03:46] Chizuru**
The skirt's a little short, though...
**[03:49] Kazuya**
*Eek!*
**[03:50] Chizuru**
Anyway, don't hold back.
**[03:52] Chizuru**
Only an idiot spends money
only to keep his thoughts to himself.
***SIGN*** Ba-dump
***SIGN*** Ba-dump
**[03:56] Chizuru**
Anyway, be right back.
**[04:04] Chizuru**
Well? Do you like it?
***SIGN*** Too dazzling!
I can't look!!
***SIGN*** Not to your liking?
**[04:08] Chizuru**
What? Not what you were expecting?
**[04:10] Kazuya**
Y-You look great!
**[04:12] Kazuya**
Super duper great!
**[04:13] Chizuru**
Oh. Thanks.
**[04:16] Chizuru**
I'll take these, please.
***SIGN*** You sure?!
**[04:18] Staff**
Thank you. Let me pack that up for you.
**[04:18] Kazuya**
*In the end, I chose for her...*
***SIGN*** The shoes go
with it, too
**[04:21] Kazuya**
Oh, thanks.
***SIGN*** You can pay
over here
**[04:22] Chizuru**
Actually, no.
**[04:24] Chizuru**
Just take off the tags, please.
***SIGN*** Wha!!
**[04:27] Kazuya**
Mizuhara, I can't ask you to do that.
**[04:30] Chizuru**
Come here for a sec.
**[04:33] Kazuya**
Wh-What is it?
***SIGN*** Sit
***SIGN*** SMACK
**[04:37] Chizuru**
Don't make me repeat myself.
**[04:40] Chizuru**
Right now, we're a couple. No holding back.
**[04:43] Chizuru**
Let me wear this on our date today.
**[04:49] Chizuru**
Not like it's exposing my panties or anything.
**[04:51] Kazuya**
*Eek!*
**[04:52] Staff**
Thank you! Come again!
**[04:54] Chizuru**
Thanks.
**[04:56] Chizuru**
Where to next?
**[04:58] Kazuya**
*Cheer-up date... Cheer-up date!*
**[05:07] Chizuru**
Can we hold hands?
**[05:10] Kazuya**
S-Sure!
***SIGN*** Expressionless.
**[05:19] Guys**
Yo, check out that chick.
**[05:21] Guys**
Is she a model?
**[05:22] Guys**
She's totally my type.
**[05:24] Guys**
Uh, I'm pretty sure all
mankind would be into her.
***SIGN*** Woohoo
**[05:28] Kazuya**
* Girlfriend-mode Mizuhara*
* really is out of this world!*
**[05:31] Kazuya**
* Even in packed Shinjuku,*
* she stands out from the crowd!*
**[05:34] Kazuya**
* The dark top only highlights*
* the brief glimpses of her fair skin!*
**[05:38] Kazuya**
* And she usually doesn't*
* wear skirts this short.*
***SIGN*** Too pretty
**[05:41] Kazuya**
*Are her thighs CG or something?!*
**[05:44] Kazuya**
* Most of all, it feels like such a win*
* that she's wearing an outfit I picked out!*
**[05:48] Kazuya**
* God, I'm so frozen up around her,*
* I can't even feel my fingers.*
**[05:54] Kazuya**
*Stop it! I'm not here to have fun!*
**[05:56] Chizuru**
So, what are we doing after this?
**[05:58] Kazuya**
Huh?
**[05:59] Chizuru**
Don't "huh" me.
**[06:01] Chizuru**
You said the schedule was a secret
and wouldn't text it to me.
**[06:04] Chizuru**
You've planned everything out, right?
**[06:07] Kazuya**
* Right! Today's date plan is*
* all to cheer Mizuhara up.*
***SIGN*** The
counter
punch
**[06:11] Kazuya**
* She got me with a counter just now,*
* but we've only just started!*
**[06:16] Kazuya**
* I know for sure she'll*
* enjoy what's coming next!*
**[06:19] Kazuya**
*I'll make this the greatest date ever!*
**[06:22] Chizuru**
Huh?
**[06:24] Chizuru**
A movie?
**[06:25] Kazuya**
Yeah.
**[06:26] Kazuya**
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.
**[06:46] Kazuya**
Huh?
**[06:47] Chizuru**
I mean, we don't often come to the movies.
***SIGN*** Busted...
**[06:52] Chizuru**
And Director Karakida's known for his
documentary-style films with raw themes.
**[06:57] Chizuru**
Do you watch them often?
**[07:01] Kazuya**
Oh, nah.
**[07:02] Kazuya**
I usually just watch Hollywood movies,
**[07:05] Kazuya**
but even I have times when I wanna
watch stuff like this, you know?
**[07:13] Kazuya**
*I hope she likes it...*
***SIGN*** Holding hands
with a hottie
while watching
a movie...!!
**[07:32] Kazuya**
*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?
