[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.

[06:52] 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] Sign     Kinoshita [15:07] Sign     Sato [15:07] Sign     Yamada [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. [17:11] Sign     Ferry Ride [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!! [17:33] Y     Kazuya? [17:37] Bo     He's running?! [17:40] K     Hey, I'm sorry... [17:42] K     I'm sorry I hit you earlier! SIGN    So     lame [17:45] Y     Shut it, you dolt. [17:47] Y     Well, I'll leave you two to it. [17:49] K     Hey, wai— [17:52] K     A-Awkward!

[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. [18:57] C     I don't want this whole thing     hanging over future jobs. SIGN    Sorry,     seriously [19:02] K     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!

[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.
