[00:34] R
    I demand you dock his pay!
[00:36] R
    That way, he can't afford rentals.

    He's been coming to college,

    You know anything, Kazu-chin?
[03:24] K
    Huh? O-Oh, not at all.
[03:27] K
    I do! I know way too much!
[03:30] (Flashback) R
    Kuribayashi-san, thank you for
    renting me the other day.
[03:34] K
    He liked Ruka-chan for real, huh?
[03:38] Y
    (Intro: approx. 90 seconds)
[03:38] Y
    Anyway, you look out for him, too.
[03:41] K
    Y-Yeah, of course.
[03:44] R
    What? Kuribayashi-san?
[03:46] K
    I just think you should
    apologize to him or something.
[03:50] R
    Hmm... But he's old news for me now.
[03:55] K
    Mean!
[03:56] K
    But hey, he paid you.
[03:59] K
    And what you did was out of
    bounds for a rental girlfriend.
[04:02] R
    I haven't gone back to that job
    since we started dating!
[04:06] R
    If you want me to quit, just say the word!
[04:09] R
    Besides, I tried to keep his secret!
    You're the one who followed me!
[04:14] K
    W-Well, yeah, but then you
    showed up at our college.
[04:19] R
    Honestly, I do feel bad for Kuribayashi-san,
[04:23] R
    but I needed to do that in order to date you.
[04:26] R
    And I was just a rental.
[04:28] R
    If I met him outside of work and he fell
    for me, I'd be digging my own grave.
[04:32] K
    Uh, I'm pretty sure it's too late already.

[05:12] K
    I need to be smart with money!
[05:14] (Flashback) Y
    Anyway, you look out for him, too.
[05:18] K
    I wonder what Kuri's up to right now.
[05:21] K
    I could take him out for drinks.
[05:23] K
    But I guess it'd still be too
    awkward with just the two of us.
[05:26] K
    I did start it all by being a tryhard
    and showing Mizuhara off.
[05:31] K
    Anyone would want a girlfriend
    after meeting one like her.
[05:36] K
    He said he was going back to the sticks to run
    his family's apple orchard after college...

    It'd probably just annoy him if a guy
    with a girlfriend tried to cheer him up.
[05:57] K
    There's nothing I can do...
[06:02] K
    Wait, that's it!

    Maybe she's dating Kazuya for real?

    The way they've been acting is
    nothing like a rental relationship!

[16:04] S
    I forgot all about the embarrassment a
    rental girlfriend caused me and just had fun.
[16:09] K
    Kuri...
[16:12] K
    Oh, Mizuhara's back.
[16:14] K
    Later. I don't want to take up
    any more of your date time.
[16:17] S
    Wha...
[16:18] S
    Date? It's just a rental thing!
SIGN    And you made
    the booking!
SIGN    Quit being a dork!
[16:22] C
    Did Kazuya-kun leave?
[16:24] S
    Oh, y-yeah.
[16:26] C
    Let's get going, then.
[16:28] ---
    O-Okay.
[16:30] S
    Oh, so he just showed up to apologize.
[16:33] S
    Not like I would've realized
    if they hadn't told me.
[16:36] S
    He's such a dork.
[16:39] S
    Who digs their own grave like that?
[16:42] S
    But why did Chizuru-san play along?
[16:50] S
    Chizuru-san.
[16:51] S
    Going back to that convo earlier...
[16:55] S
    You said all that, but you'd never
    fall for a client for real, right?
[17:04] (Flashback) C
    What? Me, go on a date with Kuri-kun?
[17:08] (Flashback) C
    Why should I?
[17:09] (Flashback) C
    Besides, do you even realize what that means?
[17:12] (Flashback) K
    I do.
[17:14] (Flashback) K
    But after all he's gone through,
    I'm sure he'll consider it a shared secret.
[17:19] (Flashback) K
    Of course, you should only
    do it if you're okay with it.
[17:22] (Flashback) C
    Even then, why go out of our way?
[17:24] (Flashback) K
    He's been down in the dumps
    since the Ruka-chan thing.
[17:28] (Flashback) K
    I don't want him to hate women over this.
    It was all my fault to begin with.
[17:33] (Flashback) K
    I know that going on a date with you
    would make anyone want a girlfriend.
[17:39] (Flashback) C
    Well, I do feel bad about the Ruka-chan thing,
[17:43] (Flashback) C
    and I have dealt with clients who
    have trust issues with women.
[17:45] (Flashback) K
    R-Really?
[17:47] (Flashback) C
    Fine. I'll do it, but just this once.
[17:51] (Flashback) K
    You mean it?
[17:52] (Flashback) C
    I don't want this to drag on any longer, though.
[17:56] (Flashback) C
    So I'll just do my job like always. Is that okay?
[18:00] (Flashback) K
    Yeah, yeah.
[18:02] (Flashback) C
    Are you sure, though?
[18:06] (Flashback) C
    You'll be the one embarrassing
    yourself when he learns the truth.
[18:11] (Flashback) K
    I was gonna tell them someday, anyway.
[18:14] (Flashback) K
    I'll just consider this a practice run.
[18:17] (Flashback) K
    Mizuhara Chizuru doesn't belong
    to anyone in particular, right?
[18:23] (Flashback) K
    It just wouldn't be fair to keep
    such a top-class girl to myself.
[18:29] C
    We wouldn't fall for a client...
[18:32] C
    I guess?
[18:37] C
    Who knows?
[18:41] S
    Chizuru-san?
[18:45] C
    Let me walk you to the station.
[18:47] S
    No, let me.
[18:49] C
    Nah, let me.
[18:49] S
    No way... No freakin' way, right?
[18:51] S
    O-Okay.

    Mizuhara's reaching out to me!
[19:26] Sign
    Who screams
    like that
    indoors?
[19:26] Fish
    STFU.
[19:31] K
    Gotta be casual, very casual.
[19:34] K
    Is she really sure about this?
[19:35] K
    A balcony rendezvous? Really?
[19:37] K
    She was the one who banned all
    interaction in our private lives!
[19:41] K
    But now she's asking to meet?!
[19:44] K
    Did she have a change of heart?

    She might think I'm desperate
    if I go out there early.
SIGN    STFU
    and
    go
    already.
[20:00] K
    Screw it. I'll just go.
[20:01] Fish
    STFU.

    Actually, is she even gonna be here?
[20:07] C
    Heya.
[20:08] K
    H-Hey.
SIGN    She's
    here!!
[20:10] C
    Sorry about this.
[20:12] K
    No biggie. You need something?
[20:14] K
    She really did want to talk to me!
[20:16] C
    I need your help with something.
[20:18] K
    My help?
[20:21] C
    There's this girl I want you to rent.
[20:25] C
    She's a newbie who just started
    working as a rental girlfriend.
[20:28] C
    The thing is, she's really shy.
[20:30] C
    So shy that clients are complaining about her.
[20:33] K
    A rental girlfriend... who's really shy?
[20:35] C
    I figured you'd be a safe bet since I know
    who you are and how you do things.
[20:39] C
    Of course, this is for practice,
    so you don't have to pay a dime.
[20:44] C
    You up for it?
[20:44] K
    S-Sure.
[20:46] C
    Great.
[20:47] C
    Oh, but don't you dare make a move on her.
[20:50] K
    I know that!
SIGN    I know she's
    just a rental.
SIGN    Have
    some faith
    in me, jeez.
[20:52] C
    So, how's it been going for you?
[20:56] C
    With your ex. Mami-chan, was it?
[21:00] K
    O-Oh.
[21:01] C
    Things went up in smoke at the beach,
    but you were getting cozy before that.
[21:07] C
    She's a vital piece of the puzzle when
    it comes to you getting a girlfriend, right?
[21:11] K
    We're totally on the outs.
[21:13] K
    She hasn't talked to me since then.
[21:16] K
    She probably couldn't care less about me now.
[21:20] K
    And honestly, I'm not even
    sure anymore, either...
[21:23] K
    whether I still like her or not.
[21:27] K
    But I did swear to myself
    that I'd make her happy.
[21:32] K
    Deleting those feelings so easily
    just seems shallow to me.
[21:38] C
    That so?
[21:40] C
    Well, rushing won't get you anywhere.
[21:42] C
    I'm here for you...
[21:44] C
    Until you forget her.
[21:46] K
    Mizuhara...
[21:47] C
    Okay, don't forget about that date.
    I'll let you know when and where later.
[21:51] K
    Hang on.
[21:52] C
    What's up?
[21:53] K
    Uh, what's up is...
[21:57] K
    Are you sure you should be...
    meeting me out here and stuff?

    Huh? What was that?
    Quit mumbling and say it out loud.

    I know she's just a rental,

    What kind of rental girlfriend
    could've made Kibe so serious?

    What're you talking about?
[24:10] Y
    I'm talking about this girl
    I ran into at the video rental shop.
[24:13] Y
