[00:13] Kazuya
    Huh? Hey!

SIGN    "Spontaneous Trip and Girlfriend"
[01:49] Kazuya
    Hey, Sumi-chan. Are you okay?
[01:53] Kazuya
    Haven't seen you since we handed out flyers.
    Thanks for helping out with that.
[01:58] Kazuya
    I only booked an hour today, sorry.
SIGN    Money's kinda
    tight right now
SIGN    Translation:
    Did the movie
    work out okay?
[02:03] Kazuya
    Y-Yeah, we completed it, thankfully.
SIGN    How did he
    understand that?
[02:06] Kazuya
    I actually need some advice from you today.
SIGN    Expectation
[02:17] Kazuya
    Why did that make her emotional?
[02:19] Kazuya
    Huh? W-W-Wait!
SIGN    Pure
    pretty-girl
    power
[02:22] Kazuya
    T-Too close!
SIGN    Huff Puff
[02:27] Kazuya
    Well, I guess giving a client advice
    is a rental girlfriend's calling.
SIGN    Still, she's making
    such a big deal of it
[02:34] Kazuya
    L-Let's calm down for a sec, shall we?
[02:39] Kazuya
    Oh, no! You did nothing wrong!
[02:43] Kazuya
    In fact, thank you for taking it so seriously.
[02:47] Kazuya
    Watching you really does soothe the soul.
[02:51] Kazuya
    Let's take this to a café.
SIGN    Tears
[02:59] Kazuya
    Nothing soothing about this.
[03:01] Kazuya
    Hearing about Granny Sayuri opened
    the floodgates. That's so Sumi-chan.
SIGN    She's bawling!!
[03:06] Kazuya
    Oh?
SIGN    She got up
[03:07] Sumi
    Is Chizu...
[03:08] Kazuya
    Oh?!
SIGN    Can't talk, huh?
[03:12] Kazuya
    Aw, she couldn't keep going!
SIGN    Did Chizuru-chan seem like she'd be okay?
[03:20] (Flashback) Chizuru
    I'm fine!
[03:22] Kazuya
    Actually, I don't know.
[03:27] Kazuya
    She said she was fine with the same old smile.
[03:30] Kazuya
    She was the same old Mizuhara.
[03:33] Kazuya
    But she just lost her grandma, y'know?
[03:37] Kazuya
    There's no way she isn't devastated
    by losing the only family she had left.
[03:42] Kazuya
    If she were in pain and wanted to cry,
    I would've liked to help her out,
[03:46] Kazuya
    but I couldn't do anything
    with her smiling like that.
[03:52] Kazuya
    We made a movie together and stuff,
[03:54] Kazuya
    but the rental girlfriend thing is
    the only thing connecting us.
[03:57] Kazuya
    We're just "girlfriend" and "client."
[03:59] Kazuya
    I feel like I'm too much of
    a stranger to be there for her.
[04:03] (Flashback) Mini
    No woman is an island.
[04:10] Kazuya
    A friend told me recently that
    no woman is an island.
[04:16] Kazuya
    But I wonder about that, honestly.
[04:20] Kazuya
    She was being so strong, even while grieving.
[04:23] Kazuya
    I was just like, "Look, there's one right here."
[04:28] Kazuya
    And the thought made me freeze up.
[04:31] Kazuya
    I thought you'd know how she was feeling
    better than me, so I wanted to ask you.
SIGN    Chugging
    Darjeeling tea?!
SIGN    Thank you.
    That was delicious.
[04:50] Kazuya
    Huh?
[04:50] Kazuya
    S-Sumi-chan?
[04:52] Kazuya
    Wait, wait! Wh-Where are we going?!
[04:54] Kazuya
    At least let me pay!
SIGN    I don't want us to drink and run!
SIGN    Shinjuku Station
[04:58] Kazuya
    Shinjuku?
[05:06] Kazuya
    Why Shinjuku? Why the big city all of a sudden?
SIGN    Is there something
    that'll help me here?
[05:11] Kazuya
    She's moving fast!
SIGN    She crossed the
    ticket gates!
[05:15] Kazuya
    Are we taking the train?
SIGN    Jolt
[05:18] Kazuya
    O-One...? Track 1?
SIGN    Zushi 15 cars
    Fujisawa 15 cars
[05:25] Kazuya
    The Shonan-Shinjuku Line... for Fujisawa?!
[05:29] Kazuya
    Wh-What's with this train?!
[05:32] Kazuya
    The Shonan area... Fujisawa? Don't tell me...
[05:35] Kazuya
    S-Sumi-chan, don't tell me...
[05:41] Kazuya
    This girl wants to go to the beach!
[05:47] Kazuya
    Uh, no! No way! Not happening!
[05:49] Kazuya
    Why are we suddenly going
    to the beach, anyway?
SIGN    Let the ocean waves
    wash your worries away.
[05:57] Kazuya
    She's not wasting a second!
[06:00] Kazuya
    W-We can't!
[06:02] Kazuya
    I only booked the one-hour plan today.
    And we're almost out of time.
SIGN    She put her
    phone away...
SIGN    Tense
[06:12] Sumi
    I want to help Chizuru-chan
    any way I can, too.
[06:19] Sumi
    We can go as friends.
SIGN    Step Step
[06:28] Kazuya
    Wha?!
SIGN    Her mind is made up!!
SIGN    Splurged on Green Car
    tickets for the
    touristy feel. (Went Dutch)
[06:36] Guys
    Yo, the girl two rows behind us
    on the left is so my type!
[06:40] Guys
    Lucky guy. I wish I could hit
    the Shonan waves on a date, too.
[06:47] Kazuya
    What is this crazy situation?
[06:50] Kazuya
    Why am I suddenly going
    to the beach with Sumi-chan?
[06:52] Kazuya
    And as "friends," too! Music to my ears!
[06:56] Kazuya
    Friends?!
[06:57] Kazuya
    I'm friends with such a cute girl?!
[07:00] Kazuya
    And just so the ocean waves can wash
    my worries away? Is that really it?
[07:05] Kazuya
    She's not gonna change into a swimsuit, is she?
SIGN    If you need to talk,
    it's best to go in without reservations.
[07:09] Kazuya
    Wait, no! My brain's going feral again!
SIGN    No preying on
    this innocent girl!!
[07:13] Kazuya
    Well, if we're talking the ocean plus worries...
[07:16] Kazuya
    Something like this?
SIGN    Gloom
[07:21] Kazuya
    Either way, we're really not talking.
SIGN    15 minutes
    of silence
SIGN    Not that I wasn't
    expecting it
[07:25] Kazuya
    I guess we're not in work mode anymore.
    She doesn't have to force a conversation.
[07:35] Kazuya
    Huh?
[07:36] Kazuya
    Oh, the match game?
SIGN    The Match Game
SIGN    instructions
[07:38] Mami
    The Match Game.
[07:39] Mami
    It's a finger game in which
    two players face each other,
[07:43] Mami
    put out their index fingers, and increase
    their opponent's open fingers.
[07:46] Mami
    They do this by touching their
    opponent's fingers with their own.
[07:52] Mami
    Players take turns doing this,
[07:54] Mami
    and whoever has five open fingers
    on both hands first loses.
SIGN    Lose
SIGN    Win
[07:57] Mami
    You're all grown up,
    so you know this by now, right?
[08:00] Kazuya
    I see.
SIGN    This game doesn't
    require talking, either.
[08:02] Kazuya
    She was looking up ways to kill time.
[08:05] Kazuya
    You can go first.
SIGN    Nod Nod
SIGN    tap <3
SIGN    smile smile
[08:12] Kazuya
    That's your game, huh?
SIGN    "That's your game"?
    It was the first move.
    They're all the same.
[08:14] Kazuya
    What do I do now?
[08:16] Kazuya
    T-Take that!
SIGN    poof <3
SIGN    Soft
SIGN    Stare
SIGN    tap <3
[08:26] Kazuya
    What is this?
[08:27] Kazuya
    We've held hands and stuff before,
    but this is putting me on tenterhooks.
SIGN    It's like we're
    poking each other
[08:32] Kazuya
    Here I go... There!
SIGN    Ahaha
[08:34] Kazuya
    Well, I'm glad Sumi-chan's having fun.
[08:38] Kazuya
    What is this world of rainbows and sunshine?
[08:40] Kazuya
    Talking isn't the be-all and end-all.
[08:43] Fish
    That's your conclusion?
SIGN    That's your conclusion?
[08:55] Kazuya
    Yeah, I figured we wouldn't be allowed to swim.
SIGN    Only surfers here
[08:58] Kazuya
    We are past mid-September and all.
SIGN    Sad...
[09:03] Kazuya
    She's making her disappointment clear!
[09:06] Kazuya
    Was she actually thinking of
    changing into swimsuits?
[09:14] Kazuya
    Speaking of beaches, I did give Mizuhara
    a horrible time back then, too.
[09:31] Kazuya
    Sumi-chan? Where are you going?
[09:40] Kazuya
    Huh...
[09:41] Kazuya
    What?!
SIGN    That's all for the beach, folks!
SIGN    She's walking so fast
[09:49] Kazuya
    W-Wait, Sumi-chan!
[09:51] Kazuya
    I didn't expect her to suggest
    going up the Enoshima Sea Candle!
[09:55] Kazuya
    What does this have to do
    with solving my worries?
SIGN    Enjoy the ocean view from
    there or something?!
[09:59] Kazuya
    I can never tell what she's thinking,
    but I guess I have to follow her lead here.
SIGN    She looks so
    serious, too
SIGN    Escar Station
SIGN    Escalator to the top
[10:14] Kazuya
    We're taking the stairs?!
[10:15] Kazuya
    H-Hold up!
[10:17] Kazuya
    For real? How many stairs do we
    have to climb to reach the top?
SIGN    huff huff
[10:21] Kazuya
    They're pretty steep, too.
[10:23] Kazuya
    Seriously...
[10:24] Kazuya
    What's gotten into Sumi-chan?
[10:33] Kazuya
    I-I'll go on ahead!
[10:37] Kazuya
    Damn it, sea breeze!
SIGN    Just be yourself.
SIGN    Here now
[10:54] Kayuza
    I'm dead after just the climb!
[10:57] Kayuza
    Why does Sumi-chan seem fine?
    Does she play some sport or something?
SIGN    Her motivation
    gives her stamina
[11:05] Kazuya
    O-Oh, the binoculars?
[11:08] Kazuya
    Yeah, she's having fun, all right.
[11:14] Kazuya
    Y-Yeah, wow, it's really pretty.
[11:17] Kazuya
    Uh... What is this?
SIGN    I don't know
    what she's
    trying to do
SIGN    Ooh
[11:25] Kazuya
    So many couples here.
[11:28] Guy
    Check out that girl. She's so pretty.
[11:31] Girl
    Excuse me? What did you just say?
[11:33] Girl
    What are you implying?
[11:33] Kazuya
    She really does stand out in a crowd.
[11:35] Guy
    I didn't mean anything by it.
    Just an observation.
[11:37] Girl
    Let's get going.
[11:48] Kazuya
    Renting a girlfriend is the best!
SIGN    Though we're here
    as "friends"
[11:52] Girls
    Yoohoo!
[11:55] Girls
    C'mon, what are you screaming for?
[11:57] Girls
    You told me to do it, Mari.
[12:01] Kazuya
    Heh, they're full of spirit.
SIGN    Ah, youth
[12:09] Kazuya
    Huh? Whoa!
[12:10] Kazuya
    Sumi-chan?!
[12:11] Kazuya
    There's no way...
[12:13] Sumi
    Yoo...
[12:18] Sumi
    hoo.
[12:21] Kazuya
    That surprised me.
[12:22] Kazuya
    I thought she was gonna yell.
SIGN    Like, "Yoohoo!"
[12:24] Kazuya
    I suppose it is the stereotypical move
    on a trip with friends.
[12:35] Kazuya
    Yoohoo!
[12:43] Kazuya
    I gave it a shot for you.
[12:45] Kazuya
    That felt pretty good, actually.
[12:53] Kazuya
    I still have no idea what she's trying to do,
[12:56] Kazuya
    but hey, as long as she's having fun.
SIGN    huff huff
[13:00] Kazuya
    Even after that...
[13:01] Kazuya
    What? We're taking the stairs down, too?
[13:04] Kazuya
    Why aren't we taking the elevator?!
SIGN    A shop people
    line up at for
    French toast
SIGN    Sumi-chan, you've got
    some honey on you
[13:06] Kazuya
    Wow, this tastes amazing!
SIGN    Fortunes
SIGN    I got decent luck.
    Maybe I should
    try again, haha.
[13:09] Kazuya
    What? You got top luck?
SIGN    flop
SIGN    Specialty Egg Crackers
[13:12] Kazuya
    Whoa!
[13:13] Kazuya
    It's gonna break!
SIGN    Fried Whitebait
SIGN    Raw
    Whitebait
[13:14] Kazuya
    Uh, did we really have to order all this?
SIGN    Whitebait
    Rice Bowl
[13:26] Kazuya
    I'd say we had a little too much fun.
SIGN    Kinda
    exhausted
SIGN    And we're doing this doom
    and gloom thing anyway
[13:36] Kazuya
    Whoa!
[13:39] Kazuya
    Huh?
[13:42] Kazuya
    She went in!
[13:49] Kazuya
    What?!
[13:50] Kazuya
    You're kidding me, Sumi-chan!
    You're doing the splashies?
[13:54] Kazuya
    By yourself? You can't be serious.
SIGN    She's summoning me...
[14:01] Kazuya
    But I guess it is another typical beach scene.
[14:09] Kazuya
    But what's the point?
SIGN    Splish
SIGN    Now you've done it
SIGN    Splash
[14:15] Kazuya
    Come on! Take this!
[14:17] Kazuya
    Damn, this is fun!
SIGN    Second chance at youthful memories
[14:19] Kazuya
    So much fun!
SIGN    And Sumi-chan's
    so cute!
SIGN    The remains of
    some kid's sandcastle
[14:28] Kazuya
    D'oh! M-My phone!
SIGN    It's here
[14:32] Kazuya
    Phew! I didn't bring it with me!
[14:41] Kazuya
    Sorry, I kinda let loose.
[14:45] Kazuya
    I haven't played and had fun
    like a kid in a long time.
SIGN    Positivity starts with a smile
[15:04] Kazuya
    Sumi-chan...
SIGN    I'm not very useful,
    so I at least want
    people who are in
    pain to have some fun
[15:13] Kazuya
    I see... So that's why she did all this today.
[15:17] Kazuya
    She planned on showing me
    a good time all along.
[15:21] Kazuya
    She saw me worrying and dragged
    me along to have some fun.
[15:27] Kazuya
    She's such a good gal.
[15:30] Kazuya
    I had my apprehensions at first,
[15:33] Kazuya
    but all that moving around
    and playing like a kid
[15:36] Kazuya
    made me forget all the
    complicated stuff along the way.
[15:39] Kazuya
    It helped me refresh. Thanks,
[15:42] Kazuya
    Sumi-chan.
SIGN    I get why you'd second
    guess yourself, but I
    don't think any girl
    would react badly to
    being cheered up
[15:57] Kazuya
    Sumi-chan...
SIGN    Only Chizuru-chan knows
    how she would really
    feel deep down, but...
[16:02] Sumi
    Happy...
[16:06] Sumi
    It would make me very happy, at least.
[16:14] Kazuya
    I see...
[16:16] Kazuya
    She's right!
[16:17] Kazuya
    Mizuhara will obviously be
    hurting right now, I'm sure.
[16:20] Kazuya
    But fretting over things and not cheering
    her up is just backwards logic!
[16:25] Kazuya
    "I'm not very useful"? Don't be silly.
[16:28] Kazuya
    It was an amazing date.
[16:30] Kazuya
    Let's head back to Tokyo.
[16:41] Sumi
    Yup.
[17:00] Ruka
    What?
[17:01] Ruka
    Chizuru-san's grandmother passed away?
[17:03] Ruka
    I see. That must be so hard...
SIGN    For Chizuru-san
[17:07] Kazuya
    She's putting on a brave face,
    and it's just so hard to watch.
SIGN    There's no way
    she's not hurting
[17:11] Ruka
    Well, she can be quite awkward.
[17:14] Ruka
    We're in a truce, so I do want
    to cheer her up somehow,
[17:18] Ruka
    but family matters can be really delicate.
[17:21] Kazuya
    She's so mature.
[17:24] Ruka
    But if it were me, I'd want to be cheered up.
[17:29] Ruka
    If you straight-up told me, "Cheer up!"
SIGN    Stop it!
[17:34] Ruka
    Squee! I'd totally get butterflies!
[17:36] Kazuya
    R-Right?!
[17:39] Ruka
    Wait, you're not thinking of...
[17:41] Ruka
    I take it back!
[17:44] Ruka
    That's a nope!
    Cheering her up would be insensitive!
SIGN    You should keep your distance!!
SIGN    Pumped up! Pumped up!
[17:47] Ruka
    Chizuru-san's a rental girlfriend.
SIGN    Get back here!
    Come back to me, Kazuya!
[17:50] Ruka
    Having you, a client, try to cheer her up
SIGN    Pumped up! Pumped up!
[17:53] Ruka
    would be crossing so many lines!
SIGN    Listen to me!!
[18:02] (Flashback) Ruka
    If you care so much for a rental girlfriend,
[18:05] (Flashback) Ruka
    then you're sure to treat a
    real girlfriend even better!
[18:12] Ruka
    He's passionate, huh?
[18:14] Ruka
    God, I hate myself sometimes.
[18:20] Ruka
    This situation warrants it,
    so I won't stop you!
SIGN    Not that
    I know
[18:23] Ruka
    But you're just a client!
SIGN    what you're
    thinking of doing!!
[18:25] Ruka
    You'll never close the gap
    between the two of you!
[18:29] Ruka
    Also, I'm your girlfriend.
[18:32] Ruka
    You'd better take me to
    the amusement park in return.
[18:39] Kazuya
    For sure! I'll go for sure!
[18:41] Ruka
    How about we go right now?
[18:43] Kazuya
    Today? Not happening.
SIGN    I'm on shift
    until late
[18:46] Kazuya
    Can I get an advance on my pay, please?
[18:49] Boss
    What? Why? Hitting the red-light district?
[18:52] Kazuya
    What do you think I am?
[18:54] Boss
    Uncontrolled lust will ruin you.
SIGN    It's not that...
[18:58] Kazuya
    There's a girl I want to cheer up.
[19:00] Boss
    Huh... I thought you were dating Ruka-chan.
SIGN    You're sharp...
    I mean, I'm not...
[19:05] Boss
    FYI, she's mine.
SIGN    She's cute, isn't she?
    And full of energy.
[19:06] Kazuya
    Boss? Aren't you married?
SIGN    S°x
[19:08] Boss
    Don't you dare make a move.
[19:10] Kazuya
    I won't! I swear on my life!
SIGN    What are we
    even talking about?
[19:12] Boss
    So, what? You're gonna
    ask her out on a fancy date?
[19:17] Kazuya
    Yeah... something like that.
SIGN    There is
    a limit,
    of course
[19:19] Boss
    We're lacking staff next month, you see.
SIGN    Wish I had someone to count on...
[19:21] Kazuya
    I'll come in! As much as I possibly can!
[19:24] Boss
    Damn, I want to be cheered up, too!
[19:27] Kazuya
    Where did that come from?
[19:29] Boss
    We guys exist solely to cheer girls up.
[19:33] Boss
    Remember that.
SIGN    Karaoke Village
[19:35] Kazuya
    I will!
[19:39] Kazuya
    I've lost count of how many times
    she's helped me out until now.
[19:42] Ruka
    Kazuya, I'm clocking out...
[19:50] Kazuya
    When I was in trouble, when I was in pain...
[19:56] Ruka
    Boss, do you wanna go on a date now?
SIGN    Maybe I should
    cheat on him back
SIGN    baduuuuuump!!
[19:58] Boss
    What?!
[19:59] Ruka
    Just kidding.
[20:00] Boss
    Wha...
[20:04] Kazuya
    Mizuhara has always been there for me,
[20:08] Kazuya
    helped me pick myself back up,
[20:10] Kazuya
    and been my pillar of support.
SIGN    10-hour shift
[20:14] Kazuya
    I'm so done...
[20:19] Kazuya
    If I don't stand by her now...
[20:23] Kazuya

[22:31] Kazuya
    Gah!
[22:32] Kazuya
    I haven't seen her since the wake!
[22:35] Kazuya
    How am I supposed to face her?!

SIGN    TPO, dude.
[22:37] Fish
    TPO, dude.
[22:39] Kazuya
    Mizuhara's amazing, though.
[22:42] Kazuya
    Even now, she's working.
[22:44] Kazuya
    Some do say work helps
    take your mind off the grief.
[22:48] Kazuya
    A normal client would be blissfully unaware,
    and just have a fun date with her.
[22:55] Kazuya
    But I'm painfully aware...
[22:58] Kazuya
    Hey, Mizuhara, what did you think
[23:02] Kazuya
    of me booking an all-day date with you?
[23:05] Kazuya
    Are you going to hate the idea
[23:06] Kazuya
    and scold me, saying my concerns are misplaced?
[23:10] (Flashback) Sumi
    It would make me very happy, at least.
[23:13] Kazuya
    Whatever you say, I've decided
    not to chicken out of this.
[23:17] Kazuya
    I'm sure I can't even imagine how much
    it hurts to have lost Granny Sayuri.
[23:23] (Flashback) Chizuru
    They all fill the void in their heart
     with work or significant others.
[23:28] Kazuya
    I'm going to spend this entire day
[23:30] Kazuya
    making sure Mizuhara feels better!
