**[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?!
