Kazu-kun.
M-Mami-chan?!
Whatcha hiding?
Swirl
Ugh! I overreacted!
Swirl
She did come over last night and all... Does she wanna talk about that?
Swirl
Do you have a minute?
Rent-a-Girlfriend
"Night and Girlfriend"
A talk, just the two of us?
Up close and personal?!
Mami-chan knows Mizuhara's a rental girlfriend.
It's gotta be about that, right?
I heard that Chizuru-san is a rental girlfriend.
Oh... Y-Yeah.
Huh? You don't sound surprised.
O-Oh, well, Chizuru told me what happened.
I can't possibly tell her I saw it all go down!
I figured I should tell you that I know ASAP,
so I went to your place last night,
S W E A T
but you were out shopping.
I was so shocked.
I had no idea such a service existed,
and I couldn't believe you and her were... y'know...
R-Rental going out? I was shocked, too!
Ahaha
Trash dodge
Haha, as if!
I knew it. She's here to yell at me, dress me down!
You tricked us all? You should be ashamed of yourself!
T h e C r i n g e c u t i o n
Seriously? Don't you feel empty inside when you pay?
S a l t O n t h e W o u n d J a i l
Here she comes! The executioner from hell!
The Silence Sentence
Hey, tell me...
Is it my fault?
Did I drive you to this?
Bingo
Huh? She's not mad?
And wait, what? She's been worried about that?
O-Of course not!
I-I was just curious... Like, social research?
Really?
Yeah, yeah. Don't worry about it.
I couldn't tell her the truth, not over my dead body.
It's too pathetic
But there is something else I need to tell her.
Hey, uh, I'm really sorry.
I lied, and even introduced her to all you guys, like some kind of moron.
But please, don't take it out on Mizuhara...
Wait, you haven't fallen for her, have you?
O-Oh, no.
Of course not!
I thought not! Thank goodness!
You're an innocent boy, but I know you're not a fool.
Sorry I doubted you.
Hand...
Kazu-kun, you only live once.
You're losing out if you don't get a girlfriend for real.
You gotta have lots of fun in college. You won't get to as a working adult.
I don't mean to belittle Mizuhara-san's work,
but at the end of the day, it's business.
Spending your time and money on that is a total waste.
Get it?
Y-Yeah, roger that!
That's all I wanted to say. Later.
Okay.
Sprawl
Lights on, nobody home
I thought I was a goner!
But she was so nice...
I did deceive her and all...
I thought she'd chew me out.
It all pisses me off just a teensy bit.
Anyway, I gotta make sure she doesn't find out it's still going on!
"Social research," my ass.
Lies, lies, and more lies. What a loser.
Going by how much he was panicking, it doesn't seem to be a one-time thing.
You lie to us for a whole year and call it "research"?
Also, that bag...
I don't know that it's hers for sure, but...
There's gotta be more to it.
Hey, Kibe-chan!
I'll cook for you tonight!
Huh? Why?
Have you been eating right lately?
I feel like you've lost weight.
You're taking on too much work...
R-Really?
Sure, I've been eating nothing but instant...
But cook? Where, at my place?
Karaoke Village
Yep. It'd suck if you were malnourished.
It's not that serious.
As your girlfriend, I can't ignore it!
S c h w i n g
She wants to come over now? Is she serious?
Okay, it's a plan! Time for shopping!
Hey, wait!

Uh, don't I get a say in this?
Someone's having fun...
Is this gonna be okay?
It's gonna be late once all the cooking and eating's done.
She will go home after that, right?
Not that I mind just having dinner with a cute girl.

You can wait by the entrance, Kazuya-kun.
What are you planning to make?
C-Curry!
You don't need turtle for curry!
You do for some curries!
Am I not allowed to want my boyfriend to feel better?
That's all I want. Nothing more.

L-Let me clean up the place.
Huh? Why are you locking the door?!
What if a thug waltzes in?
This area isn't that dangerous.
Hey, try to hide your displeasure!
You just sit there and watch.
You'll see how cute I am while cooking.
Okay.

I'm gonna do my best.

Man, what a bizarre sight.
Look at this cute girl prancing around my kitchen in an apron.
And she calls herself my girlfriend.
Oh, right.
Here, some pre-meal beer.
W-Wait, where did you get that?
In your fridge.
Huh, mine? Sorry.
C h i l l . . .
Wait, no! This won't do!
This situation does not call for booze!
There've been too many parties lately.
I wanna give my liver some time off.
Take it back
Oh, really?
That's too bad.

Glug, glug.
Hey, what do you think you're making?!
Some kind of drug?!
Curry! I'm making curry!
I forgot to buy cooking wine, is all.

Shoo Shoo
Anyway, leave me alone!
I'll stab you
Whatever the reason,
she's doing all this for me.
I should be grateful, really.
So this is how it feels.
How what feels?
I've never fallen in love before...
TIL how it feels to cook a meal for your boyfriend.
Here. Eat up.
Thanks.
Huh? Wow, this is super yummy!
Really? Yay!
I can't believe how good it tastes!
Even though you poured in all that beer
Eat all you want.
Will you be able to recover?
What's gonna happen next?
Too close...
Self-loathing
We went shopping, ate dinner together,
and now we're watching a TV show... and there's no cash involved.
And normally, she'd stay over, and we'd have sex a couple times.
I guess this is what it's like to have a girlfriend.
How blessed I'd be.
If only she were my real girlfriend
Hmm? Texting someone?
O-Oh, don't worry about it.
Why's she hiding it?
You're making this look important.
Mom
When will you be home?
I'm staying over at Yuka's tonight
Wha?!
Hey, what are you typing? Did that just say "staying over"?!
Tap Tap Tap
You're imagining things!
No, I saw that!
C'mon, what's the big deal? I let you go on dates with Chizuru-san.
That's not the issue here!
But I'm your girlfriend.
I wanna be lovey-dovey with you, too.
Blush...

I'll walk you!

Cute or not, that's not the point!
No, that is very much the point!
I can't look at her straight!
Flutter
Besides, I never said you could stay over!
Don't bother.
Travel Info Operation Canceled Due to Typhoon 5, operation of both lines is canceled. No ETA for resumption Please keep an eye out for further typhoon and train info...
The trains have stopped running.
I know you're not the kind of guy who'd throw a girl out on her own in this rain.
Are you kidding me?
You sly...
I have to spend a whole night together with this cute thing?
This is too much for me to handle!
And you know...
Keep it down.
Huh? Weally?
The girl next door will hear you.
You meanie! You're thinking about Chizuru-san, even now!
Do I mean nothing to you?!
I-I just meant not to bother the neighbors!
If Mizuhara found out I let Ruka-chan stay the night...
What's all this now? Didn't you say you couldn't go out with her?
Menacing
Are you just messing around? Is that why you let her stay the night, playboy?
The one thing I don't want happening...
I get it.
Jeez, fine.
I'm one step ahead of her, just by getting to spending the night with you.
I'll obey the tenant here.
I swear!
Ah!!
Seriously, stop it!
Squeeze
I mean it!
Tap
I get it, I get it!

Hell, even now...
I'm copping all kinds of feels!
Sheesh, fine.
That's dangerous in its own right!
Relax. I won't jump you or anything.
But you fed me turtle, an aphrodisiac!
You're obviously out for the kill!!
I mean, I would love nothing more than for you to make a move,
but just by getting to stay over, I've fulfilled one of my goals.
Get it?!
Ah!!
Squeeze
Tap
Sheesh, what she says and what she does are completely different!
I give up!
Anyway, wear some pants!!
Anyway, wear some pants!
Oh, okay, okay.
I'll sleep in the kitchen! Stay away!
Okay, okay!
Once is enough!
And keep it down!
I'm gonna take a shower! I'm sweating buckets!
Have fun, honey.
Even the strands of hair by the drain are too stimulating for me...
Can I really make it through this night?
Ruka-chan can say whatever she likes,
but who knows what she's planning?
If we were actually a couple, we'd have already...
Hard
Damn thing has zero integrity
Maybe I should rub one out.
Oh, Kazuya-kun, want some hot milk?
Sparkle Sparkle
I made some thinking you'd be out soon. Aren't I just perfect?
Oh, sure.
Did you... do something in the shower?

N-Nothing!

He so did...
What's going on?
I was just surprised by how many views it was getting.
Whoa, 80,000 likes? Amazing!
I just recorded it with a friend for the heck of it,
and it seems the algorithm started pushing it.
It's gotta be 'cause she's cute!
An influencer with 80k likes, right here...
It's a mandate from the masses!
Well, yeah.
There aren't many girls as cute as her around.
Ruka-chan always dresses up when we meet,
People are so dumb...
so I've never seen her in such casual wear.
She's exposing her cleavage, and her skin's all flushed...
I wanna cop a feel!
And I never realized it before, but she's so fair... and sexy.
So this is what Ruka-chan's really like.
Oh, yeah.
Wanna see the pic I took with a friend?
Condoms...
Drip Drip
Those were totally condoms right there!
Why does Ruka-chan have those?!
Holy crap... What's going on here?!
This is so awkward!
Time has come to a standstill for us!
P-Please pretend you didn't see that.
It was just...
Just in case.

I'm so glad I rubbed one out in the shower.
If not for the post-nut clarity, who knows what I would've done?
But anyway, what's gotten into Ruka-chan?
She's too aggressive tonight.
Maybe I'm stressing her out too much due to Mizuhara...
TIL how it feels to cook a meal for your boyfriend.

I feel something touching my back!

Kazuya...kun?
S t i f f e n
Ruka-chan!
Are you listening, Kazuya-kun?
Just take her and her boobies for yourself.
Don't, Kazuya-kun. Isn't Chizuru-san the one you love?
Listen, Kazuya, this won't affect your booby feelings for her.
If you do another girl, you don't love her enough?
That's a booby trap.
Every man is like this, my tiddy.
You can make up as many sexcuses as you want later!
My primal instincts are going wild!
I'll get everything I want if I turn around!
Anything and everything!
Here.
Kazu-chin, you ain't supposed to let your dick dictate your love life.
Do you remember what I said back in that hotel room?
I'll have you know I'm ready to take it all in.
I get it.
I can talk the talk, but I'm not attractive enough for you.
Ruka-chan?
I'm not mature like Chizuru-san,
and I probably have zero sex appeal.
I'm sure you only see me as some kid who's trying way too hard.
I know I'm being a bother.
I know I'm probably turning you off like this.
But...
I can't control myself.
I wanna feel my heart race, too!
Even if you think I'm a pain, or that I'm too clingy...
Just being with you like this is making me so happy, I could cry.
"Not attractive enough"? Are you kidding me?!
I wanna make you mine right now!
You're so cute, I'm about ready to explode over here!
Kazuya...kun?
But I don't think this is love.
I can't lay a hand on you like this!
I can't take that next step!
I would never call you a bother!
Before you, I never had a girl say she liked me in my entire life...
Deep down, I'm so happy that I could jump for joy.
I honestly can't believe a girl like you would ever tell me she likes me.
So please, keep your distance from me tonight.
I'm this close to making a terrible mistake...
Roll Roll

Of all the golden opportunities to let slip...
Virginity continues!!
Deep down, I'm so happy that I could jump for joy.
I honestly can't believe a girl like you would ever tell me she likes me.
Dazed Couldn't sleep a wink
You've got some wild bags under your eyes.
Gee, thanks.
When all's said and done, I'm glad I got through that night unscathed.
Well, we can save the sex for another time.
Wh-What?!
Also, it made me really happy.
I'd always thought you found me a nuisance.
So it felt like you told me I could stay by your side.
Ruka-chan...
Y-You! What was...
C... Cute!
Huff...
See you, Kazuya-kun! Thank you!
You kindly took the lead and made it a night I would never forget!

I'll forever remember the joy I felt last night!

Thanks for everything last night, Kazuya-kun!
Sure, though it wore me out.
Gee, I wonder what it was that wore you out.
Curious, Chizuru-san?
Do you wanna know all of the love story we played out in his apartment?!
Not really. I'm just his next-door neighbor.
Mizuhara's being cold!
Too cold! It's giving me brain freeze!
Anyway, next time on Rent-a-Girlfriend:
"Birthday...
...and Girlfriend."
Wait, birthday? Whose?!
"Birthday and Girlfriend"
Who knows?
Brr!
