I'm Sarashina Ruka, and I'll

Why are you here?!
**[00:08] R**
I told you to be ready for
a battle of endurance.
***SIGN*** Why are you getting so mad?
I'm your girlfriend
**[00:12] R**
Sitting around won't close the gap with
Chizuru-san. You live in the same building.
**[00:16] R**
Meanwhile, your workplace
is Chizuru-san free!

D-Do you have *any* intention of working?!
**[00:24] R**
Ouch! This is domestic violence!
**[00:27] K**
Also, being neighbors doesn't mean
anything! We barely ever interact!
**[00:31] R**
Boss, I'm being bullied!
**[00:34] R**
I demand you dock his pay!
**[00:36] R**
That way, he can't afford rentals.
**[00:38] Boss**
Okay. I'll trash his time card.
**[00:40] K**
*She's got him wrapped around her finger!*

**[00:43] R**
What's the problem? I'm free to
work where I please, aren't I?
**[00:48] Boss**
Okay, let's get you up to speed on your job.
**[00:50] R**
Sure thing!
**[00:52] K**
* O God of Campus Life!*
* Shine a ray of hope on me!*
**[00:58] K**
Welco...
**[01:00] Y**
Whoa, he's really here.
**[01:02] Iwa**
He's in uniform and all.
**[01:04] Sasa**
Ew.
**[01:05] Y**
We'll take the free time option.
**[01:06] K**
Room 5 is all yours.
**[01:09] Iwa**
"Room 5"?
**[01:11] Sasa**
Ew.
**[01:12] K**
Put your dick in a uniform or something, bro.
**[01:15] Sasa**
Ew.

What's this about Kuri?
**[02:51] Y**
Well, he's been acting weird lately.
***SIGN*** This guy's Iwafune
**[02:55] Y**
He's been coming to college,
**[02:57] Y**
but it's like, I dunno... the lights
are on, but nobody's home.
***SIGN*** You might remember him
from his brief appearance
in the pub scene
***SIGN*** Scene?
What's that
supposed to mean?
**[03:02] K**
*Makes sense!*
**[03:03] S**
Dick! Dick!
**[03:04] Y**
So I did some digging.

**[03:08] Y**
He's been tweeting gloomy shit like
"I'll never love again" on his private account.
**[03:14] K**
*It's that bad?*

**[03:16] K**
Wait, how do you know his private account?
**[03:19] Y**
In cyberspace, I see all.
**[03:22] Y**
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.*
**[04:36] R**
Anyway, forget that!
**[04:39] R**
I found a great pastry café!

Jeez, don't stare so hard.
**[05:09] K**
*No, no! It'll make Ruka-chan mad!*
**[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*

K-Kill me now!
**[05:52] K**
* 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!*
**[06:05] K**
*That's a genius idea!*
**[06:13] C**
*Yes?*
**[06:14] K**
It's me.
**[06:15] C**

You wouldn't know how it feels to rent one!
**[07:00] S**
*Is he trying to cheer me up?*
**[07:04] (Flashback) R**
Thank you for renting me the other day.
**[07:08] W**
I hate you!

W-Wait!

**[07:22] C**
Oh, there you are!
**[07:25] C**
Thank goodness! Shun-kun, right?
**[07:28] C**
I've never been here before, so I got lost.
**[07:33] C**
Shall we go?
**[07:35] C**
I've planned out our date and everything.
**[07:37] S**
Uh, h-hang on! Aren't you...
**[07:47] C**
Hello.
**[07:49] C**
I'm Mizuhara Chizuru, your rental girlfriend.
***SIGN*** Sweat
**[07:53] S**
*What's going on? Why's Chizuru-san here?*
**[07:56] S**
* We're going on a date?*
* She's a rental girlfriend?!*
**[07:58] S**
* What is she talking about?*
* Like I'd fall for that!*
**[08:02] S**
*Right. Time to Google.*
***SIGN*** Rookie Batch
***SIGN*** This Month's
**[08:06] S**
*Are you kidding me? What is all this?*
**[08:11] S**
Does that mean you weren't
really Kazuya's girlfriend?
**[08:16] S**
*No answer? So I'm right?*
**[08:20] S**
* What... Their relationship was purely*
* rental, just like Ruka-chan and me?*
**[08:27] C**
Let's go, Shun-kun.
**[08:29] G**
Get a load of that chick.
**[08:31] G**
What a cutie!
**[08:33] W**
Is that her boyfriend?
**[08:33] G**
Her boyfriend's so lucky.
**[08:34] W**
They're holding hands!
**[08:35] G**
Think he's plowed her?
**[08:38] S**
*What the hell? What the hell is happening?*

**[08:54] S**
*Uh, the date's already in progress?*
**[08:56] S**
* I still can't believe Chizuru-san*
* was a rental girlfriend, though.*
**[09:01] S**
*Maybe she's dating Kazuya for real?*
**[09:05] S**
* The way they've been acting is*
* nothing like a rental relationship!*
**[09:09] S**
*Hell, Kazuya even jumped off a ferry for her!*
**[09:13] C**
We have to put these on our wrists.
**[09:20] S**
* Also, like, what does he get*
* out of telling me like this?*
**[09:24] S**
* If he couldn't keep lying to me,*
* he could've just told me himself!*

**[09:37] S**
I've, uh, got something to do.
**[09:39] S**
There's an assignment due.
**[09:44] C**
Oh, too bad. You can't just ignore that.
**[09:48] S**
Y-Yeah. Sorry about this.
**[09:51] S**
* I'm not gullible enough to*
* play along with this farce!*
**[09:54] C**
I guess I'm doing this alone, then.
**[09:58] S**
What?!
**[09:59] S**
G-Going to the amusement park alone?!
**[10:02] C**
Yeah. I've been looking forward to it.
**[10:04] S**
I don't know about that!
**[10:06] C**
I already bought the tickets, though.

Oh, sorry. I'll scoot over.

I-It's totally fine.
**[11:14] S**
They used to call me

**[11:15] S**
* I can't! I can't just go on a normal date with*
* a girl I thought was my friend's girlfriend!*
**[11:20] S**
Once I've locked onto a
girl's heart, I never miss!
**[11:25] S**
*Wait, what am I even saying?!*
**[11:30] C**
You're so funny, Shun-kun.

*What is wrong with me?*
**[11:44] S**
*I said all that, and here I am having fun.*
**[11:51] S**
Boys are so stupid, seriously.
**[11:56] S**
I mean, we're talking rental girlfriends here.
**[11:58] S**
You pay for a date, and that's that.
**[12:02] S**
It's not like we don't get it.
**[12:04] S**
But when it's a gorgeous girl like you,
it really makes us think.
**[12:10] S**
We fall for you.
We wanna hold you in our arms.
**[12:13] S**
We're so childish, all of us.
**[12:19] C**
But I like boys.
**[12:24] C**
O-Oh, I don't mean that in a salacious way!
***SIGN*** Absolutely
not!
**[12:28] S**
R-Right...
***SIGN*** I
didn't
take
it
that
way...
**[12:30] C**
Sure, you do have your childish side,
but that just means you're romantics.
**[12:37] C**
Being pragmatic in life is a difficult thing,
**[12:39] C**
but it's even harder to
continue to be a dreamer.
**[12:43] S**
Chizuru-san...
**[12:45] C**
We can't do as much for you
as real girlfriends can,
**[12:51] C**
but we *can* be band-aids and stop the bleeding.
**[12:57] S**
* Life must be so rosy with*
* a girlfriend like her.*
**[13:03] S**
*Hey, Kazuya, you're envied wherever you go.*
**[13:07] S**
*You smell heaven right by your side.*
**[13:10] S**
*She laughs at your stupid jokes.*
**[13:13] S**
*You go on dates every day, hold hands,*
**[13:16] S**
*and have sex until you're sick of it...*
**[13:21] S**
*Man, I really do want one.*
**[13:24] S**
*I want a girlfriend!*
***SIGN*** Rent-A-Girlfriend
**[13:29] C**
Wow.
**[13:31] C**
It was so crowded during the day, but we
practically have the place to ourselves now.
**[13:37] S**
Thanks for today, Chizuru-san.
**[13:40] S**
You heard about Ruka-chan, right?
**[13:43] S**
And that's why you two planned
this to cheer me up, right?
**[13:47] S**
I was so confused at first,
but I had loads of fun!
**[13:51] S**
Oh, I should pay up.
**[13:53] C**
Sorry.
**[13:56] C**
I've already been paid.

***SIGN*** She decided to
give us space...
**[14:30] S**
Oh, so that's what happened.
**[14:33] K**
Sorry I lied to you!
**[14:36] K**
I rented her after the Mami heartbreak.
**[14:39] K**
But then we ran into you and Kibe,
**[14:41] K**
and I showed her off as my
girlfriend to look cool.
**[14:44] K**
There was no going back after that!
**[14:44] Sign**

**[14:47] K**
*He's really mad!*
**[14:51] S**
What the hell, man? That's so lame!
**[14:53] S**
For your grandma? Talk about
giving back to your family!
**[14:56] S**
Wait, does this even count as giving back?
**[14:59] S**
Chizuru-san sure got stuck
with one annoying client!
**[14:59] K**
You're laughing too much!
My hands were tied!
***SIGN*** Guffaw
Bwahaha
**[15:04] K**
*Is this guy* trying *to piss me off?*
**[15:07] S**
But man, I'm glad you're
a stinky virgin like me.
**[15:11] S**
I knew it was weird that a lameass
like you landed a girl like her.
**[15:18] K**
You're going there, dude?
**[15:19] K**
Y'know, when you showed up
with Ruka-chan in tow,
**[15:23] K**
I nearly lost all faith in humanity's taste!
**[15:25] S**
Y-You're one to talk!
**[15:27] S**
Just so you know, Ruka-chan's younger!
**[15:30] K**
Shut yer trap, pedo!
**[15:32] K**
Mizuhara's got bigger boobs!
**[15:34] S**
Excuse me?! Did you not see the legs
on her, you uncultured tiddy freak?!
**[15:38] K**
Mizuhara's got a sweet pair of legs herself!
**[15:48] S**
Anyway, Chizuru-san's amazing.
**[15:51] S**
I get what today was all about now.
**[15:54] S**
She must've been freaking out, too,
**[15:57] S**
but she never showed it.
**[15:59] S**
No amount of money could
make a person do all that.
**[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.
***SIGN*** We're hitting up a breastaurant
***SIGN*** We're hitting up a breastaurant
**[18:57] K**
He sure bounced back quick!
**[18:59] K**
He hasn't learned a thing!
***SIGN*** Feed

Mini
Cat
**[19:06] K**
The power bill doubled?
I should ease up on the AC.
***SIGN*** Yummy!!
**[19:10] Fish**
*Yummy!*

***SIGN*** Balcony
***SIGN*** Ichinose
**[19:19] K**
* Okay, my eyes aren't playing tricks on me.*
* This really is a message from her!*
**[19:23] K**
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?*
**[19:46] Signs**
Pant
**[19:46] C**
Sorry, I just had to see you tonight.
**[19:50] Fish**
*She's not that kinda girl.*
***SIGN***
She's
not
that
kinda
girl.
**[19:53] K**
Does my apartment stink?!
**[19:54] K**
Any visible nostril hairs?!
**[19:56] K**
Five minutes to go.
**[19:57] K**
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.*
**[20:02] K**
*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?
**[22:02] C**
Huh? What was that?
Quit mumbling and say it out loud.
***SIGN*** Can't hear you
through this wall
**[22:05] K**
N-Nothing! Never mind!
**[22:07] C**
Weirdo.
**[22:09] C**
See you.
**[22:10] K**
Hey, tell me her name.
**[22:13] C**
Sakurasawa Sumi-chan.
She's a college first-year.

**[23:57] Y**
Yo, I went and rented my very own angel.
**[24:00] S**
Rented? You don't mean...
**[24:01] Y**
I know she's just a rental,
but I don't wanna let her go anymore.
**[24:05] K**
What kind of rental girlfriend
could've made Kibe so serious?
**[24:08] Y**
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**
It's a situational thing,
so I don't know the actress's name,
**[24:15] Y**
but I've never seen a girl
so in my strike zone...
**[24:16] C**
Anyway, what's on the next episode
of *Rent-a-Girlfriend*?
**[24:19] K**
"Truth...
**[24:20] C**
...and Girlfriend."
**[24:21] Y**
I'll let you borrow it, Kazu-chin.
**[24:23] K**
Th-Thanks, bro.
***SIGN*** "Truth and Girlfriend"
**[24:24] S**
And me next!
**[24:25] C**
God, these three stooges...
