    Huh? A girl?
[00:03] (Flashback) Sasa
    Oh, there she is. Over here.
[00:13] (Flashback) M
    Nice to meet you. I'm Nanami Mami.
[00:17] K
    From the bottom of my heart,
    I felt she was the one.
[00:21] (Flashback) Sasa
    This guy's a virgin.
[00:23] (Flashback) K
    Wait, what? Did you have
    to introduce me like that?
[00:27] (Flashback) K
    I was training to be a priest
    until last week, you see.

[01:03] (Flashback) K
    H-Hey, uh...
[01:05] (Flashback) K
    I know I'm not used to
    going on dates and stuff.
[01:08] (Flashback) K
    Like I said, I've never
    had a girlfriend before.
[01:13] (Flashback) K
    Sorry.
[01:14] (Flashback) M
    It's the same for me.
[01:16] (Flashback) M
    I had two relationships in high school,
    but they both ended almost immediately.
[01:22] (Flashback) M
    I'm not that great with boys, really.
[01:26] (Flashback) K
    Mami-chan?
[01:28] (Flashback) M
    So, you know...
[01:33] (Flashback) M
    We're both sailing in the same leaky boat.
[01:37] K
    I'm gonna be there for her.
[01:40] K
    I'm gonna make her happy... for life.
[01:49] (Flashback) M
    I had lots of fun today.

    Bye-bye, Kazu-kun!

    Well,

    I trust Kazuya-san.

    Act normally when we're
    with the others, okay?
[04:06] M
    Hey, I found my bracelet!
[04:15] Imai
    Hey, your face looks a bit flushed.
[04:19] C
    Oh, I'm just feeling kind of warm.
[04:22] M
    Your turn, Kibe-chan.
[04:23] Y
    All right! What are my options here?
[04:30] (Flashback) M
    Forgive me, Kazu-kun.

    I couldn't control myself anymore.

    Like hell I could forget that!
[04:39] K
    She couldn't control herself?
    So she kissed me?
[04:41] K
    Doesn't that mean she likes me?!
[04:44] K
    It looked like it was all over
    when Mizuhara showed up,

[05:14] K
    Hello?
[05:15] N
    Gah! My ships all sank!
[05:18] N
    Hard mode is such hell!
    I spent 30,000 yen on the gacha, too!
SIGN    Kinoshita-san, please don't use

    My Shimakaze... My Ikazuchi!
[05:23] K
    Oh, that's too bad. Later.
[05:26] N
    Whoa, hold up, Kazuya.
[05:28] K
    What is it?
[05:29] N
    I'm going to be discharged next week.
[05:33] N
    All the tests are finally done.
[05:35] N
    Now I can come see Chizuru whenever I want.
[05:40] K
    That's great!
[05:41] N
    Bye... Gah!
[05:43] K
    O-Okay...
[05:47] K
    Discharged, huh?
[05:48] K
    I'm glad it wasn't anything major.
[05:52] K
    But... I've been deceiving Gran all this time.
[05:57] Imai
    Chizuru-san, is your place, like,
[06:00] Imai
    some really huge mansion?
[06:02] C
    Huh? I-I couldn't say...
[06:06] Sasa
    It's probably in a neighborhood
    full of mansions, too.
[06:08] Shimae
    I'd wanna see that.
[06:10] C
    I-It's pretty far away, though.
[06:13] Shimae
    Where in Tokyo do you live?
[06:15] Imai
    An apartment in a skyscraper?
[06:17] Sasa
    Or, like, a fancy standalone house?
[06:19] C
    U-Uh...
[06:21] Imai
    Why don't we all hang out at
    her place when we get back?
[06:25] C
    I-I don't know...
[06:29] Y
    Cut it out. You're putting her on the spot.
[06:33] Imai
    You think it's a good idea, right, Kazuya?
[06:36] K
    W-Well...
[06:48] K
    Sorry I've been lying to you, Gran!
[06:52] K
    But I'll introduce you to
    my real girlfriend soon!
[06:55] K
    This fake relationship
    with Mizuhara ends now.
[06:59] K
    Thanks for everything, Mizuhara.
[07:02] K
    Th-The thing is...
[07:05] K
    Chizuru and I were actually
    talking about breaking up.
[07:08] K
    So that's kind of an awkward
    question to answer.
[07:12] K
    I-I know it's not a great time
    to bring this up, but you know.
[07:15] K
    Right, Chizuru?
[07:22] C
    Th-That's right.
[07:24] S
    W-Wait, why?!
[07:26] C
    W-We just kinda got the blues after
    a while. You know how it goes.
[07:32] Sasa
    Well, it's between the two of you.
[07:34] Imai
    It's not our place to say anything.
[07:37] K
    Th-This is for the best.
[07:39] K
    I said I'd leave my aimless rental
    girlfriend life here in Izu!
[07:50] M
    Kazu-kun!
[07:53] Sasa
    What's wrong with you, dude?!
[07:56] Y
    Kazu-chin, you ain't supposed to let
    your dick dictate your love life.
[08:01] Sasa
    Calm down, Kibe!
[08:04] K
    What makes you think you can
    just sock me like that?!
[08:08] Y
    Now you've done it, jerk!
[08:10] K
    Your balding ass is the one that started it!
[08:13] Y
    Who's balding?!
[08:15] Y
    My hairline's just a little shy, is all!
[08:17] K
    Yeah, that's called balding!
[08:18] Y
    Oh, it's on, you total nitwit!
[08:21] K
    Say what?!
[08:22] K
    O-Ow... Wait, s-sorry!
[08:24] Imai
    Stop it!
[08:25] Sasa
    Knock it off, you two!
[08:27] M
    Don't hurt him, Kibe-chan!
[08:29] Y
    I'm so disappointed in you, Kazu-chin!
[08:31] Y
    When did you become such
    a self-centered dirt bag?!
[08:35] Y
    Don't think I haven't noticed you
    fawning over Mami-chan! Blues, my ass!
[08:39] Y
    I bet Chizuru-san just dumped you
    because you're being so wishy-washy!
[08:44] Y
    Yes, your brain's a dumpster fire, but at
    least make it burn for your current flame!
[08:47] Y
    If you can't treat the girl who chose to
    be with you right, you're a lost cause!
SIGN    Let's break up, okay?
[08:56] K
    What would...
[08:58] K
    What would you know?
[09:01] K
    You don't know shit!
[09:04] K
    You have no idea how much I liked Mami-chan,
[09:06] K
    or how hurt I was when she dumped me!
[09:10] Sasa
    Stop talking, Kazuya!
[09:12] S
    Chizuru-san's right there!
[09:15] Y
    You're no better, Mami-chan.
[09:18] Y
    You know Kazu-chin's a fool.
[09:20] Y
    He jumps to conclusions.
[09:23] Y
    Could you stop leading on a guy you dumped?
[09:31] M
    I wasn't trying to.
[09:36] K
    Kibe, you jerk!
[09:37] Sasa
    Kazuya!
[09:39] Sasa
    Chizuru-san, you should
    probably leave for the day.
[09:42] C
    I-I know.
[09:51] Sasa
    Kazuya.
[09:53] K
    Restroom.
[10:00] Y
    If you can't treat the girl who chose to
    be with you right, you're a lost cause!
[10:07] C
    You did well.
[10:12] K
    Mizuhara?
[10:14] C
    You did nothing wrong.
[10:17] C
    They don't know the full story.
    Of course they don't get it.
[10:23] C
    Anyway, are you okay? Does it hurt?
[10:25] K
    N-No.
[10:29] K
    I'll make a booking for next week.
[10:32] K
    No actual date. Just tell the agency we went
    to eat sashimi in Shimoda or something.
[10:37] K
    And then we're done.
[10:40] K
    Gran's getting discharged next week.
[10:43] K
    She just called me.
[10:45] K
    We don't need to go visit her
    every Wednesday anymore.
[10:49] C
    That's good to hear.
[10:51] K
    Yeah.
[10:52] C
    My grandmom's getting
    discharged next week, too.
[10:56] K
    Really?
[10:57] C
    So it's the perfect time to end this.
[11:03] C
    It won't take people long to
    forget that we were ever a thing.
[11:09] K
    That was a pathetic display
    I put on back there, huh?
[11:12] K
    I feel bad about just how
    much trouble I've caused you.
[11:16] K
    Sorry.
[11:19] C
    Hey, you came clean about the "breakup."
[11:21] C
    That's step one toward moving on.
[11:25] C
    No matter what the others made of it,
[11:27] C
    I saw it as a bold move.
[11:33] C
    I guess you can be a man if you try.
[11:40] C
    Goodbye, then.
[11:42] K
    Y-Yeah.
[11:44] C
    Can I keep these sandals as a gift?
[11:46] K
    Sure.
[11:48] C
    Thanks.
[11:50] K
    It must've sucked for you, huh?
[11:54] K
    Having to play the girlfriend
    of trash like me.
[12:01] K
    Ow!
[12:02] C
    Sheesh. Pull yourself together.
[12:06] C
    This is my job.
[12:11] C
    It was fun.
[12:13] C
    I had fun, really.
[12:17] K
    Wow.
[12:20] K
    You're something else.
SIGN    Rent-a-Girlfriend
[12:35] C
    Dumbass.
[12:39] C
    Yikes.
[12:41] C
    And all my stuff's still in the restroom there...
[12:45] Y
    Chizuru-san.
[12:47] C
    Kibe-san?
[12:49] Y
    Do you have time to chat?
[12:54] K
    She showed up at noon, so two hours?
[12:57] K
    Add to that the train fare to Shimoda...
[13:00] K
    Twenty-five thousand yen! That's a lot!
[13:02] K
    This always burns a hole in my wallet.
[13:06] K
    But given all I put her through,
    even twice that wouldn't make up for it.
[13:15] K
    Damn that Kibe...
[13:17] K
    Who punches a guy before
    getting the full story?
[13:20] K
    Just how undeserving does
    he think I am of Mizuhara?!
[13:24] K
    I know, I know!
[13:26] K
    Well, I did show her off to him a lot.
[13:30] K
    You reap what you sow, I guess.
[13:34] K
    You're so stupid, Kibe.
[13:36] K
    You should know there's no way Mizuhara
    would go out with me for real.
[13:41] K
    You just don't get it, man.
[13:45] Y
    Can I drop the formalities?
[13:48] C
    Y-Yes, go ahead.
[13:51] K
    What? Kibe and Mizuhara?!
[13:54] K
    What are they doing by themselves?
[13:56] K
    And things seem kinda awkward!
SIGN    Lives by the motto of
    "Every cutie is probably
    taken anyway, so might
    as well go for broke."
[13:59] K
    Wait, is he asking her out?
[14:04] K
    Yeah, no.
[14:07] Y
    Are you and Kazuya really breaking up?
[14:10] C
    W-We are.
[14:13] Y
    Oh.
[14:15] Y
    I've known him since we were kids.
[14:18] Y
    I've watched him his entire life,
    including what a flop he is with the ladies.
[14:22] Y
    Well, I almost gave up on him when he got
    rejected three times in one month, though.
[14:27] Y
    By the same girl, no less.
[14:28] K
    Why bring that up now?!
[14:31] Y
    So I honestly couldn't believe my eyes
    when he showed up with a cutie like you.
[14:38] Y
    He's trash, isn't he?
[14:40] Y
    He's a wishy-washy moron who always
    needs others to clean up his messes,
[14:44] Y
    but he still believes everything
    will work out for him.
[14:48] K
    Hey! Tell him he's wrong!
[14:50] Y
    But sometimes, I think it's a real
    talent to be so stupidly optimistic.
[15:01] Y
    Once, in grade school,
[15:03] Y
    our class was growing morning
    glories over the summer.

[15:07] Y
    But I knocked his planter over by accident.
[15:10] Y
    I couldn't tell where the
    seeds had flown off to.
[15:13] Y
    I just grabbed the dirt lying
    around and put it back.
[15:17] Y
    Amazingly, his sprouted first.
[15:20] Y
    It was clearly just a weed,
[15:23] Y
    but he was adamant that
    it was a morning glory.
[15:26] Y
    The teacher tried to stop him,
[15:28] Y
    but he showed up first
    every morning to water it.
[15:31] Sign
    Super green
[15:31] Sign
    Super big
[15:31] Y
    And he even kept a journal for it.
[15:35] Y
    What a moron, right?
[15:36] C
    Absolutely.
[15:38] Y
    I felt bad about the whole thing,
[15:41] Y
    and decided to apologize to
    him once summer break ended.
[15:45] Y
    But then...
[15:48] Y
    What do you think happened?
[15:51] Y
    The plant blossomed.
[15:53] Sign
    Kinoshita
[15:53] Y
    Into a flower prettier than anyone else's.
[15:56] Y
    It was a rare flower called
    "Hibiscus t-something-num."
[15:56] Sign
    Well
    Grown!!
[15:57] Sign
    Gold
    Medal
[16:00] Y
    It won him the gold medal
    in our research project.
[16:03] Y
    He was sad because it wasn't a morning glory,
SIGN    Gah!
SIGN    The heck kinda flower is this?!
[16:08] Y
    but I was mad jealous of that flower.
[16:12] Y
    It never would've bloomed if he'd given
    up and stopped watering the plant.
[16:17] Y
    Reality's always out to grind us down.
[16:21] Y
    The rent's through the roof,
[16:22] Y
    the neighborhood strays always
    poop by your front door,
[16:26] Y
    the manga you love goes out
    with a whimper, and stuff.
[16:31] Y
    But you know what?
[16:32] Y
    When you let reality win and
    stop dreaming, you die inside.
[16:40] Y
    When you stood up for Kazu-chin at the pub,
[16:43] Y
    I thought he'd finally found
    someone who noticed his positives.
[16:48] Y
    I don't know what happened
    between the two of you...
[16:52] Y
    but if you've just grown
    sick of him being a dumbass,
[16:56] Y
    could you give him another chance?
[16:59] Y
    If he ever pisses you off,
    I'll beat him up for you.
[17:04] Y
    He's not a bad guy, honestly.
[17:07] Y
    In the end, I know he'll make
    sure you don't regret it.

[17:12] Y
    Oh, here. I bought these
    at the convenience store.
[17:15] Y
    I figured you two needed some alone time.
[17:19] C
    Oh, I couldn't possibly accept them!
[17:21] Y
    Don't worry about it. Let me do this for you.
[17:25] Y
    My best bud landed the best girl, but I'd
    done nothing to congratulate you two.
SIGN    Yikes!!

    Hey, wai—
[17:52] K
    A-Awkward!
[17:55] C
    This one's yours.
[17:57] K
    R-Right.
[17:59] K
    Mizuhara, uh...
[18:01] C
    I'll go.
[18:04] C
    I can't say no after that speech he gave.
[18:07] C
    If it's just us on the ferry, we won't
    have to worry about putting on an act.
[18:10] K
    A-Are you sure? What about your friends?
[18:13] C
    I've been gone two hours now.
[18:16] C
    At this point, all I can do is call them
    and say I left because I felt sick.
[18:21] K
    Oh... Sorry again.
[18:24] C
    But this really is the last time.
[18:27] C
    Kibe-san doesn't know our situation,
[18:31] C
    so he'll accept it if you tell him we
    talked it out and decided to break up.
[18:35] K
    Y-Yeah, you're right.
[18:38] C
    It's the last time.
    After this, we're done.
[18:45] K
    Y-You okay?
[18:47] K
    Are you actually sick?
[18:49] C
    I'm fine. It'll go away after a night's rest.
[18:53] C
    I'm more than happy doing this
    to help get your story straight.

    I don't want this whole thing
    hanging over future jobs.

    Sorry... I didn't expect it
    to turn into such a big deal.
[19:06] C
    Like I said, you did nothing wrong.
[19:11] C
    You can't get over your ex, right?
[19:14] C
    Then go get her back with all you've got.
[19:17] C
    If there's something you want, you have
    to go all-out to claim it for yourself.
[19:22] C
    Life's more fun that way.
[19:26] K
    Mizuhara?
[19:27] C
    Anyway, I'll be inside.
[19:32] K
    Thank you, Mizuhara.
[19:34] K
    You've given me courage.
[19:36] K
    Once I get off this ferry,
[19:38] K
    I'm gonna ask Mami-chan out!
[19:50] K
    I'll clean up the rest of this mess myself.
[19:53] K
    I'll talk to everyone and
    make sure they get it.
[19:57] K
    Sorry you had to do all this for us.
[20:00] K
    Why does the review scale only go up to
    five? I'd give you ten stars if I could!
[20:05] K
    Oh, and I won't talk to you at college.
[20:07] K
    I'll try to avoid you while taking
    out the trash and stuff, too.
[20:11] K
    And I won't rent you anymore.
[20:14] K
    I won't rent Mizuhara Chizuru out anymore.
[20:23] C
    Your phone's ringing.
[20:25] K
    O-Oh, it is.
[20:27] C
    Sorry, could you leave me alone?
[20:30] K
    O-Okay.

[21:05] M
    I'll be waiting here the whole time.
[21:08] K
    Wh-Where are you?
[21:10] K
    The hotel lobby? Just outside?
[21:13] M
    The pool.
[21:15] M
    The hotel's swimming pool.
[21:18] M
    I'm waiting all by myself.
[21:20] M
    And I'll wait till you get here.
[21:24] M
    Are you listening, Kazu-kun?
[21:26] K
    Y-Yeah, I am.
[21:30] K
    What floor is that?
[21:34] K
    Fourth floor? Got it.
[21:36] K
    I'll be there for sure.

    It was just a natural reaction.
