[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?

    I took a look at the page you created.

[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,

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

[06:29] 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

    between business and private,

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?

    Come over? Over where?
SIGN    If she's sent me
    a message on LIVE,
    she can't be outside
    right now, at least...

SIGN    Kinoshita
[11:55] Kazuya

[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!

    Mizuhara's coming to my apartment!

[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

[12:46] Kazuya

    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?!
