    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?

[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!

    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!
SIGN    Quit trolling...
[08:27] Kazuya
    Mizuhara's so mature.
[08:30] Kazuya
    I was expecting the worst, but that worked out.
[08:35] Kazuya
    Oh, but there goes our

[08:39] Kazuya
    No, no! We're doing this for Granny Sayuri!

[08:44] Ruka
    Okay, let's talk about the manga I borrowed!
[08:47] Kazuya
    Do we really need to?
[08:49] Kazuya
    And get off me!
[08:52] (Flashback) Kazuya
    Th-The curry, I guess?

    Huh.

    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

[10:06] Sayuri
    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

[10:52] 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.
[11:42] Kazuya
    Mizuhara!
[11:44] Kazuya
    I gotta tell Mizuhara!
[11:47] Kazuya
    Oh!
[11:51] Kazuya
    W-We got approved!
[11:54] Kazuya
    Shimizu-san gave us the green light!
[11:58] Chizuru
    I see.
[12:02] Kazuya
    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?
[12:21] Chizuru
    You're a nice guy.
[12:23] Chizuru
    You're a really nice guy, huh?
[12:26] Chizuru
    That's all.
[12:31] Kazuya
    I'll do this...

    Yeah...
[14:20] Kazuya
    We can't go to a professional with our budget.

    Well, as your girlfriend, I'm not a fan.

[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...
[16:42] Mini

    I'd heard of rental girlfriends before,

    It's already been backed up to cloud storage.

    Wh...
SIGN    Sparkle
SIGN    Sparkle
[17:49] Kazuya
    What?
[17:50] Mini
    Whoa! You must really love
    that rental girlfriend!
[17:54] Kazuya
    Love? Nah, it kinda just happened.
[17:58] Mini
    What are you talking about?
    The money you spend is your love!
[18:01] Mini
    Don't be insecure!
    Hold your head high with pride!
[18:05] Kazuya
    M-My money?!
[18:06] Mini
    Speaking of, how much have you
    spent on Mizuhara-san so far?
[18:11] Kazuya
    Whisper, whisper...
SIGN    Whisper
    Whisper
[18:12] Mini
    Holy crap! You're a hero!
SIGN    A shocking figure!!
[18:14] Mini
    Nothing's sadder than not getting any ROI...
SIGN    I totally understand.
[18:16] Kazuya
    Wait, I don't consider it an investment!
SIGN    I'm not
    expecting anything...
[18:18] Mini
    You have that cute younger girlfriend,
[18:21] Mini
    but your iron will remains
    unmoved. Oh, the feels!
[18:23] Mini
    The MCs of harem rom-coms
    are self-inserts for all mankind!
SIGN    What are you,
    the MC of
    some dating sim?!
[18:25] Kazuya
    Harem?!
[18:27] Mini
    Ah, I can't believe someone's
    actually living such a fun life IRL.
SIGN    So dreamy...
[18:31] Kazuya
    Are you even listening?
[18:33] Mini
    I respect your will to whale
    all the way for your fave!
[18:37] Mini
    I keep second-guessing myself
    every time I roll gacha.
[18:39] Mini
    "Am I sure about this?"
[18:40] Mini
    "What am I getting from
    spending this ten grand?"
[18:41] Kazuya
    What's with this girl?
[18:42] Mini
    "Will a day ever come when this pays off?"
[18:43] Kazuya
    Something's off about her...
[18:44] Mini
    But now I'm ashamed of myself!
[18:47] Mini
    We're allowed to live our lives
    for the sake of the things we love!
[18:51] Mini
    Please let me call you "Master"!
[18:54] Kazuya
    Wha... Master?
SIGN    Sparkle
SIGN    Sparkle
[18:56] Kazuya
    Why am I your master?
[18:58] Mini
    It's not about logic!
[18:59] Mini
    My soul's crying out that you are!
SIGN    Crying out
    (Resonating)
[19:01] Kazuya
    Soul? What is she talking about?
[19:04] Kazuya
    Me, her master? Is she okay in the head?
[19:06] Kazuya
    B-But you're trying to
    blackmail me with that video.
[19:10] Mini
    Blackmail?
[19:11] Mini
    Oh, please. This is for self-defense.
[19:14] Kazuya
    Huh? Self-defense?
SIGN    Self-defense?
[19:15] Mini
    Getting things on video will come in handy
    if I ever get dragged into some mess.
[19:19] Mini
    I saw it on WeTube.
[19:21] Kazuya
    She took a video just for that?
SIGN    Her moral fiber
    is all over the place!!
[19:23] Kazuya
    Either way,
[19:24] Kazuya
    I guess she meant no harm?
SIGN    You're funny
[19:27] Mini
    I'm not the devil, y'know.
[19:30] Mini
    I was just randomly shooting
    a video on my way home.
[19:34] Kazuya
    Is that really fun?
[19:38] Mini
    Sorry for talking by the door.
[19:40] Kazuya
    Huh?!
[19:45] Kazuya
    What the heck is this apartment?!
[19:48] Mini
    I was doing a home cosplay stream just now.
[19:51] Kazuya
    Huh? Home cos... what?
[19:53] Mini
    I'm a cosplayer and streamer,
    active on the scene as Cornetmaru.
SIGN    Nice to meetcha!
[19:58] Kazuya
    So that's why she shoots videos all day?
SIGN     Livestream
[20:01] Kazuya
    Are you famous?
[20:02] Mini
    Me? Not at all.
[20:04] Mini
    Cosplayers gotta do a lot to survive.
[20:05] Kazuya
    Okay, I can't keep up...
[20:07] Kazuya
    But this girl truly is a zoomer!
SIGN    The
    personification
    of
    "too online"
[20:07] Mini
    And if you can't enjoy
    anything in life, it's all over.
[20:11] Mini
    Anyway, you're inspiring, Master.
[20:13] Mini
    A romance beginning with a
    rental relationship? It's like a movie!
[20:17] Mini
    "Their love was just a facade at first...
[20:19] Mini
    But as time went on, they could
    no longer live without each other!"
[20:23] Kazuya
    Listen to her fantasize...
SIGN    B

    v
    o
    !
[20:25] Mini
    So, what's Mizuhara-san like?
SIGN    More!
    Tell me
    more!
[20:27] Kazuya
    What's she like?
[20:29] Kazuya
    She's a really great person.
SIGN    How far did he go
    to get his gyoza?
[20:33] Fish
    How far did he go to get his gyoza?
[20:36] Mini
    Mizuhara-san's more than
    I could imagine... She's an angel!
[20:40] Mini
    It's all your fault,
SIGN    Even though you're such a loser!!
[20:42] Mini
    but she's so tolerant, she takes it all
    in stride! Talk about a bruh moment!
[20:45] Kazuya
    Maybe she's actually just a really nice girl.
[20:49] Mini
    I hope things work out for you two!
[20:52] Mini
    If you don't pull an SSR after whaling
    so much, there's no hope for this world!
[20:56] Kazuya
    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
    Huh? What are you saying?
[21:09] Mini
    Mizuhara-san obviously loves you back, Master.
[21:13] Kazuya
    Huh?
SIGN    blank
[21:14] Mini
    Huh?
SIGN    Wha...
[21:16] Kazuya
    Don't be stupid, stupid!
[21:18] Kazuya
    No way, not even if hell freezes over!
[21:21] Mini
    Are you being serious right now?
[21:23] Mini
    She's been with you for a whole year!
[21:25] Mini
    Even though you're a complete loser!
SIGN    Hello?
    I'm your
    "Master"...?
[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
    Anyway, your love deserves to be rewarded.
    I, Yaemori, will support you all the way!
[22:15] Mini
    Let's make sure you two go out, okay, Master?
SIGN    Ichinose
[22:37] Mini
    Mizuhara-san obviously loves you back, Master.
SIGN    Wriggle Wriggle
SIGN    Hngh! My heart..!!

    Let's look for a script.
SIGN    Alarm
SIGN    Just now
SIGN    Bedtime
[23:20] (Flashback) Kazuya
    This isn't for your dream.
[23:24] (Flashback) Kazuya
    It's mine.
[23:42] Chizuru
    Guess I'll stick around for one more mug.
