[00:00] R
    You're a rental girlfriend, aren't you?
[00:05] K
    I have to shut that girl up, no matter what!
[00:16] R
    Can I take this to mean you're
    admitting it, Mr. Fake Boyfriend?
[00:22] R
    You're admitting it, yes?
[00:24] K
    U-Uh, no, that's not it.
[00:27] R
    Goodbye.
[00:28] K
    Hey, wait!
[00:30] R
    Don't follow me!
[00:31] ???
    Squish!
[00:36] R
    Perv!
[00:40] R
    Faking a girlfriend! Stalking!
    Sexual harassment!
[00:42] R
    You're found guilty on all three charges!
[00:44] R
    Don't expect a stay on your sentencing!
[00:47] R
    Right face!
[00:49] K
    I can't let her tell Kuri about Mizuhara!
[00:53] K
    Wait a second!
[00:55] R
    Stop following me.
[00:57] K
    I just live this way.
[00:59] R
    I don't want you following me all the way!
[01:02] K
    Why? Because you're gonna call Kuri?
[01:04] R
    Relax. I'm not going to tell Shun-kun.
[01:08] K
    R-Really?
[01:09] K
    But I can't trust that.
[01:11] K
    You're Kuri's girlfriend, so who knows
    how and when you'll let it slip?
[01:15] R
    Gosh, this is such a pain!
[01:18] K
    Hold on!
[01:20] R
    Look, I'm sorry, okay?
[01:22] R
    I was told you two were a tight couple...
[01:25] R
    But then I learned she was a rental,
    so I just wanted to mess with you.
[01:29] K
    How'd you find that out?
[01:31] R
    Huh? W-Well, I can't tell you.
[01:34] K
    P-Please!
[01:39] R
    I bet you rented her for
    some shallow reason, anyway.
[01:42] R
    So why does it matter if people find out?
[01:46] K
    The thing is... I got dumped by my
    first-ever girlfriend not long ago.
[01:51] K
    So I got lonely and rented Mizuhara.
[01:54] K
    But I'm such an idiot, I went
    and introduced her to my family.
[01:58] K
    My gran was over the moon,
    because I've never been a popular guy.
[02:04] K
    Seeing her like that, I couldn't
    bring myself to tell her the truth.
[02:08] K
    So just... p-promise me that
    you won't tell anyone!

[02:13] R
    Why should I have to promise that?
[02:16] K
    Please! Just say, "I, Sarashina Ruka,
    promise not to tell anyone"!
[02:20] K
    I beg you!
[02:22] R
    Stop that.
[02:23] K
    Sorry, but I have no choice.
[02:26] K
    I'll do anything you want, so please!
[02:29] R
    Jeez... What is your deal?!
[02:32] R
    I was so sure that people who went for
    rental girlfriends were shallow and superficial!
[02:40] K
    W-Wait!
[02:41] W
    My, hello. Nice weather today, eh?
[02:42] R
    Oh, I'm sorry!
[02:59] R
    Wh-What do you think you're doing?!
[03:05] K
    You know I can't just watch
    my bud's girlfriend get hurt!
[03:13] K
    Please! If this gets out,
    it'll cause issues for Mizuhara, too!
[03:17] K
    I don't care about myself, but I
    don't want to see Mizuhara sad!
[03:21] K
    She may be a rental, but Mizuhara is...
[03:25] K
    Mizuhara is...
[03:26] K
    Mizuhara is...
[03:28] K
    the best girlfriend anyone could ask for!
[03:36] R
    I'm a rental girlfriend, too.

    What?!
[05:26] C
    A rental girlfriend?!
[05:28] K
    Y-Yeah.
[05:30] K
    That means she's less likely to tell Kuri.
[05:33] K
    But it's not out of the question,
    so we shouldn't provoke her.
[05:36] C
    Which agency's she with? I'm gonna complain!
[05:39] C
    There are things you just can't do,
    and putting a fellow pro at risk is one of them!

    Uh, so we're here at a restaurant together...

    She's with an agency that
    operates within Tokyo, huh?
[06:03] C
    I was curious about how she found out,
[06:06] C
    but it makes sense if she's a rental girlfriend.
    She's probably searched my name before.
[06:11] K
    Huh? Are you famous or something?
[06:13] C
    Beats me.
[06:16] K
    Man, I don't know how to face

[06:26] K
    Sorry about this.
[06:28] K
    You're having to lend me an ear,

    You really are a nice girl.
[06:37] C
    I'm leaving!

    Yeah. He went that way
    with a super cute girl.
[08:06] S
    A girl?
[08:08] K
    We can't do this! If you wanna talk,
    let's do it off campus!

    How are we supposed to explain
    ourselves if he finds us together?
[09:05] R
    I... I'm really sorry.

    She's here to see you.
[09:23] K
    Right, Ruka-chan?
[09:30] R
    Kuribayashi-san, thank you for
    renting me the other day.
[09:36] K
    R-Ruka-chan?!
[09:48] K
    Cruel! She just murdered him in cold blood!
[09:52] K
    Kuri!
[09:54] K
    Sorry, you should leave.
[09:56] K
    Kuri!
[10:02] K
    Damn, I lost him.
[10:05] K
    Well, yeah, his friend just found
    out his girlfriend was a rental.
[10:10] K
    Of course he'd want to crawl into a hole.

    What? She said it?

[10:20] K
    Yeah... Not like there was another way
    to worm out of that situation.
[10:24] C
    But I feel so bad for Kuri-kun.
[10:28] K
    Still, this means he won't rent her anymore,
[10:32] K
    which reduces the chances of
    him finding out about us.
[10:37] C
    What is it?
[10:38] K
    Uh, something about that girl bothers me.
[10:42] C
    And what is that?
[10:44] K
    It was like she'd made up
    her mind about something.
[10:46] K
    She had this serious look on her face.
[10:56] K
    R-Ruka-chan?!
[10:59] K
    Wh-Why are you here?
[11:01] R
    When we passed by here on a date,
    Kuribayashi-san told me...
[11:06] R
    that you live here.
[11:09] R
    That voice was Chizuru-san, wasn't it?
[11:12] R
    Are you two neighbors?
[11:17] R
    Why are you two so close?
[11:22] R
    She's a rental girlfriend, isn't she?
[11:24] R
    You pay her to go on a date, and that's that!
[11:28] R
    That's the extent of your
    relationship, right?
[11:30] K
    H-Hey, Ruka-chan!
[11:31] R
    No!
[11:32] R
    No! I hate this!
[11:37] R
    I, Sarashina Ruka, promise here and now
[11:40] R
    that I won't tell anyone about your fake
    relationship or Mizuhara Chizuru-san's job!
[11:49] R
    But only if you go out with me, Kazuya-kun!

[12:00] C
    What?
[12:03] K
    Wait, what?
[12:04] K
    H-Hang on! How'd we get to that?
[12:08] R
    You're the first person to cross 90.
[12:12] R
    I like you!
[12:16] R
    I like you, Kazuya-kun!
[12:20] K
    Sh-She... likes... me?
[12:25] K
    What are you saying? You shouldn't
    mess with grown-ups like that!
[12:29] K
    You have no reason to fall for me!
[12:31] R
    I'm serious.
[12:34] R
    Between what happened on
    the ferry and the double date...
[12:37] R
    It shocked me to see how much
    you care for Chizuru-san.
[12:43] R
    If you care so much for a rental girlfriend,
[12:46] R
    then you're sure to treat a
    real girlfriend even better!
[12:53] K
    What are you talking about?
[12:55] K
    Mizuhara's just a rental...
[12:57] R
    Really?
[12:58] R
    Then you can go out with me!
[13:00] K
    I-I-It's not that simple.
[13:03] R
    But it is.
[13:05] R
    If she's just a rental girlfriend,
    there should be nothing in our way.
[13:08] K
    There's no way that's happening!
[13:11] K
    Me, date her?

    Me...
[13:15] K
    date...
[13:16] K
    her?

    M-Mizuhara? You sure
    you should be coming out?
[13:23] C
    She already knows.
[13:25] R
    There you are, puppet master.
[13:27] C
    Who're you calling a mastermind?
[13:30] C
    Do you realize what you're saying?
[13:32] C
    Like Kazuya-san said, we've only kept up this
    rental relationship because we had no choice.
[13:38] C
    Even if you're serious, telling him that out
    of the blue is only going to throw him off.

    happened at different times!

    Grr!
[15:38] C
    Let's get this out of the way first.
[15:40] C
    Do you like Ruka-chan?
[15:44] K
    N...
[15:45] K
    No, I don't!
[15:47] C
    That's inconsistent with her testimony.
[15:49] K
    L-Look, those were accidents!
[15:53] K
    I just don't know.
[15:56] K
    It's the first time anyone's
    told me they like me.
[15:59] K
    Any guy would find her cute,
    and I'm no exception.
[16:03] K
    But considering how Kuri'd feel,
    there's no way I could date her.
[16:09] C
    Got it. You shouldn't go out with her, then.
[16:14] C
    If you let her have her way now,
    she'll keep blackmailing you.
[16:18] C
    As the grown-up here, you need
    to face her without fear.
[16:21] K
    I didn't expect that.
[16:23] K
    I thought you'd say I should go out with her.
[16:27] C
    Why?
[16:29] K
    Remember what you said?
[16:30] (Flashback) C
    And the best way to do that would
    be for you to get a real girlfriend.
[16:38] C
    Let's get one thing straight.
[16:39] C
    Sure, that's my end goal,
[16:41] C
    but I can obviously understand you'd be
    against getting a girlfriend in this fashion.
[16:46] C
    Besides...
[16:47] C
    She's blackmailing you to go out with her.
    Makes me doubt if she really likes you.
[16:52] C
    The one thing a significant other
    can't lack is love for their partner.
[16:57] C
    We're not talking about a rental
    girlfriend here. It's not as simple.
[17:05] C
    But what now?
[17:06] C
    We need to do something to prevent 
    her from spilling the beans.
[17:10] K
    I...
[17:12] K
    I have an idea!
[17:15] C
    You'll tell Kuri-kun the truth?
[17:18] K
    Yeah. And now, he'll be willing to keep
    it on the down-low as a shared secret.
[17:23] C
    But...
[17:24] K
    All I'll tell him is that
    Mizuhara's a rental girlfriend.
[17:29] K
    That way, it won't affect your college life.
[17:33] K
    Nobody's realized that you go to our college.
[17:36] C
    Yeah, but...
[17:40] K
    I'll go see Kuri.
[17:41] C
    Now?
[17:42] K
    Yeah.
[17:44] K
    Given how he must be feeling,
[17:46] K
    he'd probably ignore my calls or texts.
[17:48] K
    I'll talk to him in person.
    You keep Ruka-chan occupied.
[17:51] C
    Are you sure? He'll find out
    you rented a girlfriend.
[17:56] K
    Well, I found out about him, so it's
    not fair that I get to keep my secret.
[18:01] K
    We can go get a drink and shoot
    the shit about rental girlfriends.
[18:04] K
    I'm sure it'll be a blast.
[18:11] K
    Mizuhara's right.
[18:13] K
    Dating her won't immediately
    put an end to this nightmare.
[18:17] K
    She put my feelings first.
[18:20] K
    So I need to...
[18:26] K
    Yes!
[18:28] R
    What are you doing?!
[18:33] K
    Ow! My back!
[18:37] C
    Hey, you okay?
[18:39] R
    Were you trying to run away?
[18:40] R
    You meanie!
[18:42] C
    Wait, Ruka-chan!
[18:45] C
    Are you sure about this?
[18:46] C
    I find it hard to believe that
    this will make you happy!
[18:50] R
    You wouldn't understand, Chizuru-san.
[18:54] R
    You have no idea just how long
    I've been looking for Kazuya-kun!
[19:00] C
    Wait!
[19:02] C
    God!
[19:06] K
    Ow!
[19:09] R
    Kazuya-kun!
[19:13] R
    Where do you think you're going?
[19:16] K
    Kuri!
[19:17] R
    To see Kuribayashi-san? Is that it?
[19:20] R
    You can't run away from me!
[19:22] R
    Give up and just go out with me!
[19:25] R
    I'll tell Kuribayashi-san everything!
    Is that what you want?!
[19:28] R
    I mean it!
[19:35] K
    Sorry! Please just give me a break!
[19:38] K
    I'll apologize if I gave you the wrong idea!
[19:41] K
    And you can hit me all you want!
[19:44] C
    H-Hey, don't do this outside.
[19:46] K
    Even if you really do like me,
[19:48] K
    I can't trample on Kuri's feelings like that!
[19:53] K
    Besides...
[19:54] K
    I really like Mizuhara!
[19:57] K
    So seriously, I'm sorry!
    But I just can't do it!
[20:09] R
    Why do you have to be that against the idea?
[20:13] R
    Even I know that doing this would
    only get me on your bad side.
[20:18] R
    But you two are so glued together,
    I didn't know what to do!
[20:24] R
    If you go out with me, I won't tell
    Kuribayashi-san anything, I swear!
[20:26] G
    He made a girl cry.
[20:28] G2
    Scumbag.
[20:29] K
    Hey, can you stop crying for a second?
[20:31] R
    That's why I told you I was a rental girlfriend,
[20:34] R
    and that's why I broke it
    off with Kuribayashi-san!
[20:37] R
    I know that you like Chizuru-san!
[20:40] R
    I figured I had to do this
    to get you to date me!
[20:41] K
    No, you have that wrong, Ruka-chan.
[20:45] R
    I won't ask you to fall for me immediately,
[20:47] R
    and I don't mind if you only
    see it as a trial at first,
[20:50] R
    but please let me be your girlfriend!
[20:55] K
    Ruka-chan?
[21:06] K
    Huh? What?
[21:13] C
    Go out with her.
[21:15] K
    Huh?
[21:16] K
    Wh-Wh-What are you saying?
SIGN    blah blah blah
[21:18] C
    I feel bad for you, but I don't want any
    more people finding out about my job.
[21:23] C
    Kuri-kun won't find out if nobody tells him.
[21:26] K
    B-But... wait... Mizuhara?
[21:28] C
    It looks like she really does like you.
[21:30] C
    Look at her crying. There's probably
    more to it than meets the eye.
[21:34] K
    Wh-What happened to what
    you were saying earlier?
[21:37] C
    What else are we supposed to do?
[21:38] C
    She's not likely to leave
    until you give her the okay!
[21:42] K
    W-Well, yeah...
[21:44] C
    She even knows our college.
[21:46] C
    It'd be too risky to leave
    her to her own devices.
[21:49] C
    She even said she was
    okay with a trial period.
SIGN    What's wrong?!
SIGN    Ruka-chan
    suddenly
    started
    hurting!
SIGN    You shouldn't get any more excited.
SIGN    You'll
    lose
    your
    breath
    again.
SIGN    It's not
    that I
    shouldn't...
    
    
    I just           
    can't!
SIGN    That was crazy!
    I'm so hyped now!
SIGN    My heart's
    racing!
SIGN    Lub dub...
SIGN    Lub dub...
SIGN    Lub dub...
SIGN    It's like...
SIGN    I'm a robot
    or something...
SIGN    Yuu-kun
    and I
    kissed for
    the first
    time
    yesterday...
SIGN    Seriously?
    How'd it go?

    about to jump
    out of my chest!

[23:47] K
    Hey... P-Please stop crying, okay?
[23:53] K
    And so I got a girlfriend.
[23:57] R
    Hello, all of you watching Rent-a-Girlfriend!
[23:59] R
    I, Sarashina Ruka,
    and Kazuya-kun are going out now,
[24:03] R
    so I'm going to be borrowing
    him from next week on...
[24:05] K
    The show needs to go on!
[24:06] C
    Besides, this is only a trial period.
[24:08] R
    What's your problem, Chizuru-san?
[24:10] R
    Can you stay out of our lovey-dovey preview?
[24:13] R
    Oh, I get it.
[24:14] R
    You're upset I stole Kazuya-kun
    from you, aren't you?
[24:15] C
    Anything but that.
[24:17] K
    M-Mizuhara?
[24:18] R
    Now, on the next episode 
    of Rent-a-Girlfriend!

SIGN    "Christmas and Girlfriend"
[24:24] R
    would I suffice?
