You can sleep in this room.
I can't say that it's fate
How many more centimeters should I get close to you
While I can't (While I can't) say it,
You are the one I like, so I gaze at you from behind
Everyday is busy
I have no confidence going on a date with you
The more you shine
The more and more miserable I become
The time when we can't meet plus the moment when you smile
Divide this wonderful moment in half
Such a clumsy me and you who pretends to be tough
is unexpectedly a good match, I thought!
When you realise it, it's too late
Again, I can't say that it's a fate
How many more centimeters should I get close to you
What can I (What can I) do for you? What should I do to help you?
That day, when your smile looked like "I'm okay"
How many centimeters are you walking forward
Because if (because if) I say that you are the one
Then maybe I can catch up to you
Will I be able to reach out to you
It's dangerous, my heart's about to jump out of my mouth.
Why would she say that it's fine for me to sleep here?
Don't tell me.
Welcome.
I will teach you everything.
P-Please take care of me.
Did her switch turn on because she was coerced by Grandma?
Huh?
Why'd you kick me out of sudden?!
What kind of face was that?
I felt violated by that!
Why would I? To the likes of you?!
Even if you don't, I can see all the lust in your eyes!
Don't get the wrong idea.
I said that because I feel bad to let you sleep in the corridor.
Customers have the right to receive a proper service they pay for.
Wha-?!
If you touch me even a little, I will report you to the Tokyo District Court.
She's serious!
I've learnt some self-defense arts.
I'll use it if you try anything weird.
Good night.
It's no use, I can't sleep at all.
Recently, Mizuhara has been making my heart go nuts.
I wonder, what does Mizuhara think of me?
You put your life on the line to save her.
If that's not love, then I don't know what is.
Hey, Mizuhara.
Why did you go that far, to save me?
Even though I'm just some customer.
I guess she's already asleep.
She said she learned self-defense arts.
Maybe because she had dangerous experience in the past?
Mizuhara's smaller than me, but she's already working.
She's a hundred times more mature than me,
stronger than me,
and kinder than me,
and more righteous.
I want to know more about Mizuhara.
Hey, I've been wondering, do we have to tell everyone we broke up?
I know.
I know I am just a scumbag, and an annoying customer for you.
And I constantly cause you trouble.
Just a nuisance.
But, something weird's happening to me.
It feels like I can change when I'm with you. Like I can grow better.
Like what happened on the ferry. It's like I was not myself anymore.
I know we're just lying to our grandmothers.
And I feel bad for getting you involved.
If I have to, I'm ready to tell them tomorrow that we broke up.
But,
if you allow it...
I want to keep renting you.
Sure.
I'll be your rental girlfriend a little longer.
Mizuhara?
She has been awake the whole time?
In the first place, rental girlfriends exist to help the customers.
Many of whom want to become a better person.
I get that today was just not a good day to tell them anyway.
But, we need to stop lying as soon as possible.
And, in a way that won't hurt our grandmothers.
This has to be our top priority.
And, the best way for you would be to get a real girlfriend.
So good luck.
Because we're depending on your said growth.
So, we decided to...
Try dating for a bit longer.
I see, so you two have worked things out.
What a relief.
Because I know you won't let someone like Chizuru go.
I guess.
So you fell in love with him again after he put his life on the line to save you?
Y-You could say that.
Why did you have to go as far as telling your friends?
Because I don't know when Kibe might tell Grandma!
So frustrating!
Congrats!
So jealous!
Good luck!
You sure have a complicated personality.
So annoying.
Alright, let's set things straight.
Thanks for waiting. Here's the iced coffee.
Thank you very much.
I did say I'd let you rent me.
But, we need to set some boundaries.
I also have to put good example for my other customers, so you'll still have to pay.
When I'm your girlfriend, it'll be business as usual.
Also, you can put honest review on me.
Still,
her girlfriend mode is as amazing as ever.
Each of her gestures tells that she's refined.
Her sikly hair.
And, her clothes today look so good.
Is that girl an idol?
That's her boyfriend?
Another reminder that she's too good for me.
What happened to your phone?
Huh?
Ah, I dropped it when I jumped off the ferry.
But, it's not that big a deal.
I can still use it.
Thanks for the treat.
The coffee was great.
What's wrong? You seem down.
In the end, I always end up relying on you.
I wonder if the day will ever come - when introduce a real girlfriend to Grandma.
Well, it won't be that easy for sure.
As expected.
But, you need to look forward.
If not, that encounter will slip away from you.
Don't worry. As long as I'm your girlfriend, I won't run and leave you behind.
Mizuhara.
Then, can you give me a discount?
Let's head home.
Oh? You two? After-school date?
Kuri? What are you doing here?
You're a lucky bastard.
I bet you get a lot of hateful stare from guys for having a girlfriend like her.
I-I guess?
Hello.
I'm actually on my way back from a date.
I got a girlfriend too.
Huh? Really?
Mine's fake, though.
Right! Let's do a double date next time.
Let's decide the day.
Next Saturday, it is!
It's decided!
I can't wait!
Well, I guess it's fine.
Then, next Saturday.
Still, to think Kuri got a girlfriend.
It's not like he's popular, so how he did it?
It hurts!
Hey, watch where you're going!
It hurts.
Pervert!
Wha-?!
Wait!
Wh-What?
What was up...
with that girl?
Up we go.
Hello?
Yeah.
Really? Thanks, Umi!
Bouldering?
Ah, that wall-climbing thing?
Yeah, also known as free climbing.
Hence the sportswear?
Sasa-pai brought me here once, and I got hooked.
It made me start exercising.
Then, I'm gonna go look for my girlfriend.
Y-Yeah.
Still, to think that Kuri got a girlfriend.
It's not like he's popular.
He's ahead of me!
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Huh?
Huh?!
This is Sarashina Ruka.
Nice to meet you.
Wait--
Pervert!
You're the girl who ran into me before.
Is that so?
Y-Yes.
That's funny. Aren't you popular?
What do you mean?
She got different feel than before.
Her face is small!
And she got long legs.
She's a beautiful girl on par with Mizuhara.
So this is why he wants to do a double date.
Stare.
Hmm? What?
Nothing.
And, get both hands on the goal.
Something like that.
Amazing.
This guy is totally showing off.
Okay, let's all try it together now.
Go ahead.
It's okay?
Chizuru, wanna give it a try?
Yes!
Grab on to start with both hands.
Okay.
Put your feet here.
L-Like this?
Yeah, just like that.
Now, move to number two.
T-This is...
Is it okay to be watching this?
The outline of her butt stands out!
It's sexy in an athletic way.
So this was your plan all along!
You bastard!
Wow, you're amazing!
Huh? Mizuhara's so good!
This is fun!
Chizuru, you got a knack for this.
This is pretty fun.
Kazuya, give it a shot.
Okay.
Yay!
Ow!
Damn, do I have to be pathetic at everything?
Lucky, I'm not alone.
Ruka, are you okay?
Yeah.
Ruka.
Want to try it together with me?
Thank you very much.
Man, what a spectacle.
To think that the day would come when we have a double date with two S-class beauties.
How did you end up dating her?
I mean, you're not good-looking.
That's rude.
And you're poor, like me.
Not to mention, a "prize beyond one's reach" like her - how did you approach her?
Do you plan on cheating?
It's not like that.
Perhaps my masculinity?
Ruka seems to have fallen for my manliness.
As expected, women are attracted to things like that.
Wait, aren't you pretty headstrong yourself?
I guess.
Oh, Ruka!
Manliness, huh?
That word is the complete opposite of me.
Sorry for leaving you here.
I kinda got into it.
It's alright, I was the one who forced you to come in the first place.
I'm just glad that you're having fun.
Are you still moping that you couldn't get back together with your ex-girlfriend?
Huh? Nothing like that.
Don't let it get to you.
No matter what your goal is,
the sight of someone going all-out is inspiring.
If anything, I was thinking about you more.
Never mind. You don't have to take it.
I'll take it.
Thanks.
Don't get the wrong idea.
This much is normal.
Mizuhara.
Don't get any weird ideas.
I get it!
Chizuru, can you come with me?
Sure.
Mizuhara cheered me up in her own way.
If I couldn't show her my growth, then I am really trash.
Alright, Kuri! Let's go one more time.
I love exercising, you see...
How about you, Ruka? Do you not like it?
Ruka?
You're a rental girlfriend, aren't you?
Huh? What are you talking about?
Girlfriend? Rental?
You're funny.
Alright, one more time.
What's wrong, Mizuhara?
She knows.
She knows that I'm a rental girlfriend.
Huh?!
What do you mean?
Like I know! She just asked me out of the blue.
How did she find out?
I don't know.
I don't think I give anything away...
And? Did you deny it?
I did, but I know she doesn't believe me.
This is bad!
If Kuri finds out, the whole campus will know!
I know that, but it all happened so suddenly.
Maybe she's not convinced yet considering she hasn't told her boyfriend.
But, beyond knowing that rental girlfriends exist, she can't do much else.
Sorry for taking so long.
No worries. I'm going too.
Yes.
This is like a ticking time bomb!
Ruka.
About what you asked before.
There she goes!
It seems like there's been some misunderstanding.
Kazuya and I really are lovers, you know.
As expected of Mizuhara. That heart of steel.
Kiss him.
If you're lovers, then kiss him.
Wait, Ruka?
I heard from Shun that Kazuya jumped off a ferry to save you.
And that you're a lovey-dovey couple that everyone is envious of.
Don't tell me that you haven't kissed yet.
She is hard as a rock.
Mizuhara.
Huh? What's with those eyes?
Mizuhara!
There you go.
Since we're in public, isn't this fine?
I coudn't see it.
You didn't do it, did you?
Is kissing too much for you?
Huh? What are you guys talking about?
Kuri!
I can't let this go any longer.
Chizuru, didn't you say you were gonna visit your grandmother today?
Really?
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I'll be going, then.
See ya.
Frustrating, but there's no choice.
There's no telling what Ruka will say if she stays.
I guess we should go back as well, since the time's nearly up.
Huh? Yeah.
Having a girlfriend is great, isn't it?
We're living the perfect campus life.
Right, Kazuya?
Sure.
Ruka, let's come again, just the two of us.
Y-Yes.
I really can't just leave them alone.
In first place, how did she find out?
Did I do something to give it away?
If she starts talking about it, I'll have to stop her no matter what it takes.
Wait. Kazuya, this is not your way home, right?
I'll walk you home. We're best friends, right?
Read the situation, dude.
It's fine, it's fine.
Why are you being so aggressive?
Well, then.
Goodbye, Ruka.
Yes, see you.
Huh? That's it?
That's a suprisingly formal date for Kuri.
Bye, Kazuya.
Y-Yeah.
I really couldn't read her.
Then, I need to go somewhere.
O-Okay.
I'm gonna go buy a present, then go home.
If only he knew how much stress I'm in right now.
Well, I guess anybody would be getting carried away with a girlfriend that cute.
It's too early to relax.
We're up against Kuri's girlfriend.
There's no telling when she's gonna tell him.
Mizuhara did all she could for me.
I have to do something to keep her mouth shut.
I can see that you're admitting defeat, Mister Fake Boyfriend.
When I realised it, I fell in love
I want to be your special one
But, not being myself isn't right
"You are pretty as you are"
That's what you told me
But what is "as you are"? What is "me"?
The more I love you, the more I get confused about myself
Push or pull?
But, if I am being wishy-washy, someone may snatch him away from me
Hey, tell me the best answer
Maybe say it and see whatever happens
I can almost say, but can't quite say, that's my love situation
Please notice me, hey, notice me!
Why are you changing the subject?
Even if we are close to each other or look at each other
It won't reach, my feelings aren't reaching you
Aren't you too clueless?
Like a bungee jump
I am gonna tell you
Like I'm flying off a cliff
"I love you"
Chizuru, Kazuya!
To prove that you two are dating for real,
you'll have to go more than kissing!
More than kissing?!
Not happening!
I can't do it!
Oh, but you have to.
Prove your love by bungee jumping!
Let's bungee!
On the next episode of Rent-a-Girlfriend:
"Trial Girlfriend and...
Girlfriend!"
Maybe bungee jumping wasn't it?
