I must be the only guy in history to
get a gift from a rental girlfriend!
**[00:39] K**
She must see me as someone special.
**[00:42] K**
*I did it!*
**[00:43] K**
* It's a small one, but I built*
* another connection with her!*

I mean...
**[00:55] C**
I'm a girlfriend.
**[00:56] K**
But... I don't know... It might give
your clients the wrong idea.
**[01:00] C**
I'm a girlfriend.
**[01:02] K**
Yeah, but... a g-gif—
**[01:03] C**
I'm a girlfriend, okay?
**[01:06] C**
It's perfectly normal for a
girlfriend to give you gifts!
**[01:09] C**
And it's agency policy!
**[01:11] K**
Uh, that much is true, but...
**[01:12] Sign**
I know I'm totally not
justified here...
**[01:16] C**
I'd like to clear something up here and now.
**[01:20] C**
Have you fallen in love with me?
**[01:23] K**
Huh... What?!
**[01:29] K**
I...
**[01:32] K**
I haven't.
**[01:34] C**
Exactly!
**[01:36] C**
We're only playing pretend couple
for our grandmas, right?
**[01:41] C**
Ruka-chan seems to think there's more to it,
**[01:44] C**
but I'm nothing more than
a rental girlfriend.
**[01:47] C**
If you were actually into me,
that'd change things entirely.
**[01:52] C**
Let's keep things clean,
**[01:54] C**
and this relationship purely business.

Whoa, she's so pretty!
**[02:07] G**
That dude's so lucky.
**[02:22] R**
Hey! What have you two been getting up to?!
**[02:26] K**
Ruka-chan?!
**[02:27] R**
You told me you had other plans today!
***SIGN*** Leap
**[02:29] R**
It was a date with her?!
***SIGN*** You cheat!!
You're cheating on me!!
**[02:32] R**
Why her, when you have me?!
***SIGN*** I got cheated on!!
**[02:34] K**
U-Uh, I was just getting
some life advice from her.
**[02:39] K**
*I can't believe I just said that.*
**[02:41] R**
Well, you're going on a date with *me* now!
**[02:44] K**
But I have plans...
**[02:45] R**
Cancel them!

I remember you talking about
grandmas and whatnot, but that's all.
**[06:33] R**
So tell me everything.
**[06:35] K**
*Well, I guess she does know everything else.*
**[06:41] R**
I see. I think I get the gist of it now.
**[06:44] K**
We've been living on the edge,
as much as I hate to admit it.
**[06:50] R**
What are you thinking?!
**[06:52] R**
There's no way you can
keep that lie up forever!
**[06:55] K**
W-Well...
**[06:56] R**
Will you keep it up even
when you're old and gray?
**[06:59] R**
Remain a bachelor forever?
**[07:01] C**
The fee's going up by a
thousand starting this month.
**[07:04] K**
Thank you once again.
**[07:09] R**
She's a rental girlfriend, you know!
You two don't have a future together!
**[07:14] K**
B-But Gran totally believes that we're dating!
**[07:18] R**
There's a simple solution to that.
**[07:21] R**
You can just introduce me to her!
**[07:25] R**
You have a girlfriend. You don't
need to turn to Chizuru-san anymore.
**[07:30] K**
I'll really lose her trust if I hop
from one girl to another!
**[07:34] K**
Besides, she's taken an
abnormal liking to Mizuhara.
**[07:37] K**
It won't be easy to just replace her.
**[07:41] R**
Can you have sex with Chizuru-san?
**[07:45] K**
Where'd that come from?!
**[07:47] R**
That's what it's all about,
isn't it? A successor?
**[07:50] ---**
H-Hang on!
**[07:51] R**
You can't, right?
She's just a rental girlfriend.
**[07:54] R**
No matter how long you keep it up, you and
she can only have a platonic relationship!
**[07:58] R**
Is that what your grandma wants?
**[08:02] R**
I'll have you know I'm ready to take it all in.
**[08:10] K**
Look, I can't!
**[08:16] R**
I'm actually thinking of the long term here!
**[08:20] R**
I wouldn't have brought you here otherwise!
**[08:22] K**
*So she was after this all along.*
**[08:25] R**
Do you not like me trying to
get closer to you this way?
**[08:32] K**

We're doing lunch and a shrine
visit, so it'll take half the day.
**[09:33] C**
Well, not like we have a choice.
I'm supposed to be your girlfriend.
**[09:37] C**
It'd be too weird if I didn't
see your family for New Year's.
**[09:40] K**
Mizuhara...
**[09:41] C**
Oh, but you will still have to pay, okay?
**[09:44] K**
O-Of course.
**[09:46] Kaz**

We mustn't slight the

**[09:56] N**
Hello, my angel! Oh, and Kazuya, too.
**[09:58] K**

That's a beautiful kimono.
**[10:14] N**
It's way too nice for me.
**[10:15] C**
Not at all. It suits you very well.
**[10:16] K**
*Yeah, there's no replacing her for Gran.*

Uh, y-yeah, she's a friend!
**[10:40] R**
Oh, it's Grandmother! The real deal!
**[10:42] N**
"Real deal"?
**[10:43] R**
Kazuya-san's told me so much about you
that I've been wanting to meet you.
**[10:47] N**
Is that so? If you're their friend,
you are very much welcome to join us.
**[10:51] N**
Harumi-san.
**[10:53] H**
Hello? This is Kinoshita.
We have a reservation for five...
**[10:58] N**
Kazuya told you about me?
**[11:00] R**
Yes. He told me how you were
the most amazing grandmother.
**[11:03] C**
How did she find out about this?
She even knew where we were meeting up.
**[11:03] N**
Oh? Is that so?
**[11:07] K**
I have no idea!
**[11:10] K**
*Don't tell me... it was back then?*
**[11:13] C**
Looks to me like you *do* have an idea.
**[11:16] K**
Oh, uh, no...
**[11:18] K**
*Did she see the message then?*

Asakusa Station
**[11:21] C**
I don't think she'll immediately spill
the beans about us, but it's still risky.
**[11:26] N**
I must say, you are a very pretty young lady.

Please, you flatter me!

**[11:36] N**
How do you know them, Ruka-san?
**[11:39] R**
I'm—
**[11:39] K**
Sh-She's Chizuru's friend!
**[11:42] N**
What? Chizuru-san's friend?!
***SIGN*** Starry-eyed
**[11:45] K**
We kept running into her on dates, and at
some point she and I became friends, too.
**[11:50] K**
Right, Chizuru?
**[11:52] C**
Y-Yes, our parents are friends.
**[11:54] C**
We've practically grown up
together, like sisters.
**[11:56] R**
I'm his girlfriend.
**[11:59] R**
I'm Kazuya-san's girlfriend.
**[12:02] N**
Girl...friend?
**[12:07] K**
What are you talking about,
Ruka-chan? You know that's not—
**[12:09] R**
I'm his girlfriend.
**[12:10] K**
No, Chizuru's my girlfriend...
**[12:12] R**
I'm his girlfriend.
**[12:15] N**
The rest of you, go in.
**[12:18] N**
Kazuya, we need to talk.
**[12:21] N**
O-Okay.
**[12:22] Kaz**
Er... Shall we head on in, then?
**[12:25] H**
Y-Yeah.
**[12:26] K**
*I-I'm in trouble!*
**[12:28] W**
Welcome.
**[12:30] H**
We're the Kinoshitas. We have a reservation.

U-Uh, I need to visit the restroom.

**[12:37] K**
Ow!
**[12:38] N**
You're cheating on her?!
You're two-timing her, aren't you?!
**[12:39] K**
N-No, you're wrong! Ow!
**[12:42] N**
You already have Chizuru-san!
**[12:44] N**
Even if she'll stand for it, I won't!
**[12:46] K**
Listen to me!
**[12:46] N**
Choose! Either you cut ties with us,
**[12:49] N**
or you break up with Ruka-dono!
**[12:51] K**
Again, it's not what you think!
**[12:53] N**
How, exactly?!
**[12:55] K**
Sh-She's a pathological liar!
**[12:58] N**
What? A liar?
**[13:01] K**
Yeah. She's usually a nice girl, but she
says the most random things at times.
**[13:06] K**
And Chizuru's too nice to cut her off.
**[13:09] K**
*T-Too unbelievable, huh?*
**[13:13] N**
I see. That must be rough.
**[13:16] K**
You believe me?
**[13:18] N**
It's hard to believe Chizuru
would let you two-time her,
**[13:21] N**
and even harder to believe you'd
have two girls falling for you.
**[13:26] K**
*Good point!*
**[13:27] N**
And we can't turn away a friend of hers.
**[13:30] N**
I'll let Kazuo and Harumi know for you.
**[13:30] Sign**
Close shave
**[13:35] C**
What are you playing at?
**[13:37] R**
Right back at you! Do you seriously
think you can keep this farce up forever?
**[13:43] R**
Kazuya-kun told me everything.
**[13:45] R**
You're overstepping your boundaries
as a rental girlfriend.
**[13:48] R**
You mustn't get involved in a client's
personal life. That's just common sense!
**[13:52] R**
I can take over as girlfriend,
and you can ride off into the sunset.
**[13:55] R**
Don't you think that's the best option here?
**[13:58] C**
It's not that simple!
**[13:59] R**
Oh, but it is.
**[14:01] R**
And it's far more realistic
than what you're doing!
**[14:04] R**
Do you really think this is
helping your grandmothers?
**[14:07] R**
You're *lying* to them, you know!
**[14:10] C**
I'll admit that we've dragged this on too
long, but it's a complicated situation!
**[14:14] R**
You two are the ones overcomplicating it!
**[14:17] R**

You don't want me taking him away from you.
**[14:31] C**
You're wrong!
**[14:33] R**
Maybe it's you who wants to
stay on as his "girlfriend."
**[14:38] R**
I'm serious about him, okay?
**[14:41] R**
If you're not, please walk away
like a proper rental girlfriend.
**[14:50] C**
What the heck?
**[14:53] R**
He's really bad with thrill rides,
**[14:56] R**
so he was terrified.
**[14:57] N**
Oh.
**[14:58] R**
And he was just so cute.
**[15:00] N**
Is that so?

I can't believe you deal with
this every time you see her!
**[15:55] Kaz**
Seriously, you're amazing.
**[15:57] C**
What do you mean?
**[15:59] N**
You know, Ruka's *thing*.
**[16:07] R**
A pathological liar?!
**[16:09] R**
Jeez, you idiot! Why'd you have
to give me that backstory?!
**[16:10] K**
Sorry, I made it up on the spot!
**[16:12] K**
Ow, ow!
**[16:13] R**
I knew it was weird!
**[16:15] R**
Your grandma and parents were
smiling at me like some kinda saints!
**[16:18] R**
I have to go fix this!
**[16:20] K**
Wait! I'm telling you, my family
believes Mizuhara's my girlfriend!
**[16:24] K**
If you keep pushing it,
they'll think I'm two-timing!
**[16:27] R**
What's the big deal? You're lying
to them about Chizuru-san, anyway.
**[16:30] R**
There's no difference between
zero-timing and two-timing!
**[16:32] K**
They're polar opposites!
**[16:35] R**
I mean, aren't I your girlfriend?
**[16:38] K**
Well...
**[16:39] R**
You said you'd make me your girlfriend,
if only as a trial at first.
**[16:44] K**
I-I know...
**[16:45] R**
But with your grandma, we have to act
like Chizuru-san's your girlfriend,
**[16:49] R**
and I'm just a friend?
**[16:51] R**
That's just too much for me!
**[16:54] K**
*Close! Too close!*
**[17:01] R**
I'm your girlfriend.
**[17:03] R**
That's the role I want.

Well, we've lost Mom and Sarashina-san.
**[17:48] N**
Are you all right? Do you feel sick?
**[17:52] R**
No.
**[17:55] N**
It's Kazuya.
**[18:05] K**
Nope. She's not answering.
**[18:06] C**
We shouldn't have trusted her
to keep her end of the deal.
**[18:10] C**
We can't pass the rental girlfriend
thing off as a lie if she tells her.
**[18:14] C**
Let's split up and look for them.
**[18:15] ---**
Gotcha!
**[18:19] N**
What's the matter?
**[18:21] R**
*Tell her... I have to tell her!*
**[18:24] R**
*I'm not a liar!*
**[18:26] R**
*And Chizuru-san's a rental girlfriend!*
**[18:29] R**
*It's not fair of you two to keep lying to her!*
**[18:33] N**
Ruka-dono?
**[18:35] R**
*Am I wrong?*
**[18:37] R**
*What she wants is a successor.*
**[18:39] R**
*Then I'm the better fit!*
**[18:41] R**
*I'm the one who can actually marry him!*
**[18:44] R**
* Chizuru-san's just a rental.*
* I'm his real girlfriend!*
**[18:49] (Flashback) K**
She may be a rental, but Mizuhara is...
**[18:52] (Flashback) K**
the best girlfriend anyone could ask for!
**[18:54] R**
*I have to tell her!*
**[18:59] N**
Anyway, I'm glad I got to meet you today.
**[19:06] N**
It's my first time meeting
a friend of Chizuru-san's.
**[19:10] N**
There's so much I want to ask you.
**[19:12] R**
Like what?
**[19:14] N**
How does she usually act?
**[19:17] N**
Is it any different from
how she behaves around us?
**[19:21] N**
Given how Kazuya's not much
of a ladies' man at all,
**[19:24] N**
as head of the Kinoshita family,
I can't help but put her on a pedestal.
**[19:30] N**
I hope that isn't proving to
be a cause of stress for her.
**[19:33] N**
How many friends does she have?
**[19:36] N**
What are her favorite pastimes?
**[19:38] N**
What does she like,
and what does she dislike?
**[19:41] N**
What are her favorite foods,
and what makes her laugh the most?
**[19:45] N**
This is all I've been thinking
about lately. All day, every day.
**[19:51] N**
It's as though this bag of bones has
fallen in love with a young girl.
**[19:56] R**
* No... It's not a granddaughter-in-law*
* that she wants.*
**[20:01] R**
*It's Chizuru-san herself!*
**[20:07] N**
Forgive me for the barrage of questions.
You must think I'm annoying.
**[20:12] R**
No...
**[20:13] C**
Grandmother!
**[20:15] N**
Oh, Chizuru-san.
**[20:17] N**
You suddenly went missing.
We were all so worried.
**[20:21] N**
Sorry about that. Ruka-dono
and I were just having a chat...
**[20:25] N**
You're completely out of breath, Chizuru-san!
**[20:29] N**
Are *you* okay?!
**[20:31] C**
Oh, yes, I'm fine.
**[20:37] N**
Shall we head to the shrine, then?
**[20:39] N**
Let's have another chat sometime, Ruka-dono.
**[20:42] R**
Yes, definitely.
**[20:48] N**
Sorry about that, everyone.
**[20:50] Kaz**
Don't just wander off like that.
**[20:53] H**
We were so worried!
**[20:55] N**
Don't act like I'm on my last legs!
**[20:57] N**
Okay, let's go pray for a thriving business!

I *am* your girlfriend.
**[21:21] R**
And I hate Chizuru-san for meddling in your
family's affairs as a rental girlfriend.
**[21:26] R**
But I couldn't do it!
**[21:29] R**
I knew it wasn't the right time to tell her!
**[21:33] K**
Ruka-chan...
**[21:34] R**
Just no kissing or clinging to Chizuru-san!
**[21:39] K**
Why would I? She's a rental girlfriend!
**[21:41] R**
I'm not giving up, okay?
**[21:44] R**
One day, your grandma will accept
me as your real girlfriend.

This is going to be a battle of

What did your fortune say, Chizuru-san?
**[24:00] C**
That's, uh, a secret.
**[24:02] R**
Did it say,
**[24:03] R**
"You'll fall for a college student who
rented a girlfriend after being dumped"?!
**[24:07] C**
That'd be the worst fortune possible.
**[24:09] K**
I don't know why, but I hurt inside.

I'll make that pain go away.
