Well then, I will undo the magic.
Ramiresu Paueru Kaburerara~
Takasugi Remi
The rental has ended.
For 2 hours, it'll be 12 thousands yen.
Here.
Thank you very much for using our service.
Let me introduce again.
This is Kuzuyama-kun; he's started working part-time for us since the other day.
/President
Takami Kenbutsu
I'm Yamada!
Yamada Kosuke
I still have a lot to learn...
...But there's only one girl here.
I'm streaming this to the other girls.
Basically, everyone goes to the date from their home.
Amato Yu
When they're done they go straight home, so they don't often show their face at the office.
Then why are you here?
I have some business with Remi.
Eh? Remi-chan's coming here?
I'm already here.
Ah!
Remi~ I've been waiting for you.
Please take over for me.
I have reservation for a date tomorrow, but I can't go no matter what.
Yu-chan, it's not a problem to substitute for you, but how about the fee?
Remi-chan's fee is 10 times yours, you know.
No worry.
This customer's doing pretty well and already give his approval.
Well then, Remi-chan.
Okay.
Thank you.
I've prepared these sweet potatoes for tomorrow's date.
Since I've already made it, please eat them on your date.
Well then, I'll give my best support for Remi-chan's date tomorrow.
No. Tomorrow, I want you to support Akemi-chan's date.
- No... No way~ - I'll leave that to you.
I got it.
But, if I'll do my best at work tomorrow, as a reward, Remi-chan...
Will you go on a date with me?
Why?
For 3 minutes.
I refuse.
For 3 minutes.
Just 3 minutes.
Rental Love
Akemi-chan, have you ever copied a sutra?
No.
When you get into it, it's fun. And it's hard to get a reservation.
Excuse me~ Do you really need me?
I'm sorry. I've injured my hand.
Akemi's Dating Partner
Kazuki
Then, pick something else for a date.
When you copy sutra, your soul will enter my body.
Shall we go?
Okay.
H-H-Hey, Akemi-san.
The customer Yu-san scheduled for today, what kind of person is he?
She said he's a Namanushi.
Kagawa Akemi
Namanushi?
"Merohiko-chan Will Sleep Now" will now start.
And so today, I've rented one of the rental girlfriends who are the topic of talks recently.
Merohiko
This is the most popular girl, Remitaso.
Pu pu pu pu pu~ I'm Remitaso.
Take a seat. Take a seat~
Kyaa~ You're so cute.
Hey, look.
A lot of comments say "Remitaso's cute".
- Let's work together today. - Yes. Let's work togehter, Namanushi-sama.
Remitaso, you know about Namanushi?!
Namanushi are video distributors who stream their works over the internet.
Distributors will get paid monthly...
So in order to earn money, they'll try to increase the number of subscribers.
And they'll do their best to think of any possible topics to stream on their channel.
That is Namanushi, right?
Amazing~!
You're so kind to the viewers.
A, right. Today, I have present for Mero-rin.
Eh, what is it?
Since I heard you love big sweet potatoes.
Ta-dah~~~
Wow~ Everyone, look at this.
This was homemade.
To receive such a special present...
Maybe, I'll fall for her~
She did this for me because I'm her customer...
This is what it means by Namanushi.
Ah, you're here. Part-timer-kun.
The arrangement's done.
Ah... Yes.
Don't lose, Remi-chan.
I'll also do my best.
Well then, I'm gonna eat the first one.
Go ahead.
- Ah~ - Uh. How is it?
How? How? How? How?
There's no taste in it.
Eh?
It's like eating papier-mache.
Eh? No way. Eh?
You're right. It's like papier-mache.
- Ewww~ - Eh~~~
I'm sorry~~
Isn't it obvious?
Those sweet potatoes are my handmade work.
I used all my strength to squeeze the juices out of those sweet potatoes.
You're the one in shame now.
And things won't stop here~
Isn't this the place?
/Kosuke's Close Friend
Tachibana Hayato
I wonder if Kosuke's here?
Need girlfriend? We'll rent you one.
- Come in. - No, no...
It's meaningless to copy sutras merely for form's sake.
Calm your mind...
Prepare your heart...
And you may start.
Kou-chan, I think you're amazing.
Thanks for your hard work.
Thanks to you, I guess it was a good date.
Yes~
She praised me!
She did this for me because I'm her customer...
Am I just a customer to Remi-chan.
Please concentrate.
Yes.
This is no good. I have to concentrate.
Remi-chan's sweet potatoes were very awful.
So instead, we will eat butter potatoes.
I'm remorseful~
I've accepted your remorse.
- Uh. - Uh.
Well then, we'll eat these freshly baked butter potatoes.
Hey, hey, Remitaso. Can you get the Shichimi?
A mixture of 7 spices
- Okay. - Thanks.
When it's cold like this, you'll want to put Shichimi on hot food to make it even hotter.
- I've brought it here. - Thank you.
I'll do it on for you. Here, just a bit to boost the taste.
What are you doing? This girl did it again.
You made embarrassing mistake again, Remi.
With this, my number one seat is not too far away.
I can't eat this anymore.
I'll buy a new one.
Ah, wait. Remi will eat this butter potato.
Mero-rin, you can eat mine.
You put in a whole bottle of Shichimi. You can't eat it.
It's okay.
It's cold. This will perfectly warm me up.
I'm digging in.
Uh~
Delicious.
Hey, hey. There are a lot of comments.
This is crazy. Remitaso, you're extremly well-received.
It's just like a penalty game.
Go suffer.
Expose your shameful sight.
No mind. No mind. No mind.
Ah?!
Before I know it, I've become no-mindedness.
Could it be I'm done...
No.
Being no-mindedness and being absentminded are different.
Yes.
But, I'm too concerned about Remi-chan's date that I can't concentrate at all.
Oh?
You have to pay fee to use that. 500 yen.
500 yen? Ah...
Your wicked mind just won't go away, right?
Yes.
Merry Christmas, Kou-chan.
Today, let's have fun together.
Remi-chan.
What's so embarrassing about saying out loud things that you like?
Remi-chan.
We're holding hands.
Remi-chan.
Well then, the rental will start now.
Remi-chan.
Bullying is uncool, you know.
Remi-chan.
Will you go on a date with me?
Why?
Remi-chan.
Aaaah!
Ah~ I can't take this anymore!
Ah, you're Kuzuyama-kun's friends.
He still owes us 118 thousands yen. What will you do?
Right now, I just have...
Hayato, you don't need to have.
That the money Kosuke's owed for playing around.
That's true. But he hasn't found a job yet.
This isn't the time for him to work part-time here.
But it's 11 thousands.
Remi-chan is special.
Why did he ask for such a special girl~?
In the first place, who is Remi-chan?
- Beat me. - What does that mean?
The way she came to my store was different with the other girls.
It was a beautiful full moon night after the rain.
I found a soaking wet kitten.
Ah~ Nyanko-chan.
Now, now... What happened?
You're so cute~
Are you hungry?
She seemed to be hungry...
So I bought milk for her at a convenience store.
When I came back...
Oh?
Don't tell me, you're the...
Nya~
Ah~ right, right. Okay. Okay.
I've bought this for you.
Look, it's milk.
It was very cold so I lent her some clothes from our store.
Just like that, she stayed here and started working for our store.
- A cat? - A cat?
Nya~
Okay.
Since from now, there's a fee to keep watching...
We've come to a special place.
Really?
Ta-dah.
Huh?
Well... It seems like a normal house.
Actually, I heard that this property's name will definitely pop up for Kanto's haunted places.
It has a shady history.
We've received special permission to enter the house today.
No. Why did they give permission~?!
If things go well I will fall for Remitaso under the suspension bridge effect.
That's my plot.
That's embarrassing~
Eh? Wait.
- "Look at 2nd floor"? - Eh?
A lot of comments say they saw a woman on the 2nd floor.
- No~ - No~
I'm scared. What should we do?
Now~ We'll finish it from here.
Why do I have to copy sutra for that man?
Ah.
Oh, kuzuyama-kun. Did you finished with Akemi-chan?
So gloomy.
Hey, come in. Come in. Come in.
No~ It's scary in here.
It certainly gives an ominous feeling.
Remitaso, when did you change into that outfit?
I will protect Mero-rin so that no calamity will happen to you.
No... Even your personality has changed.
Anyway, let's go inside.
It's scary.
No~
I just heard a sound.
What? What? Rapping sound? It's rapping sound, isn't it?
Most rapping sounds are caused by the shrinkage...
Of the building materials of the house due to changes in temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure.
It's called rattling of a house.
There's nothing to be afraid of.
I... I see.
No... I heard footsteps from 2nd floor.
It's not rattling of the house, right? What is going on?
I can only think of...
There's... something... upstairs.
Sumire and Hayato did?
Yes. They came to pay the money in your place.
- Isn't that touching? - Well then, I don't owe you anything?
- No. I refused in the end. - Why?
Well~ The name started with Kuzu... is that you?
Garbage
I didn't want to waste all of your efforts...
While you was doing your best to copy sutra.
I thought you'd make a racket in the middle and go back.
Unexpectedly, this part-time job's suitable for you?
No...
You know, before I started this rental girlfriend business...
How many jobs I've changed...
Well right now, Remi-chan is working hard to bring in money for us...
But before that, we're covered with debts because of my failures in management.
Is that so?
Let us both do our best to reduce our debts.
I think that'll make Remi-chan happy.
- Remi-chan? - Isn't that right?
The money that you've owed for renting her...
You're working your utmost best to pay it back.
Any girl would melt when they know that.
I see.
This is what's called office romance?
That's right. When a girl see the figure of a man doing his best for her...
She will melt for him, I've heard of that. Ah~
Ah... Sorry... I have something to do.
Do your best 'til the end.
Wait for me, sutra... You too, Remi-chan~
Hey, we're on 2nd floor.
It's creepy~
Follow me closely.
No~ Look, over there!
Oh my gosh. A disgusting face.
Let's play.
No~
Let's play.
- No~ No~ - Let's play.
No. No. Remi, I'm scared. Ah~ No~ I'm scared.
No~ Nooo~
No~ I hate this~
No~
What? No~
It's alright, don't be afraid.
It's not alright. It's NOT alright.
This stain smells of soy sauce.
Soy sauce?
Also, it's just the floor lights and table lights that are being switched on and off...
I dare say if we follow the power supply, it will lead to one place...
It's here.
NO~
Stop it.
If it's something cursed, we'll be doomed.
But the secret is inside there...
I said stop.
Ah, what's going on~ equipment failure?
Ah~ Even the image and sound...
Today's "Merohiko-chan Will Sleep Now" will end here.
What's wrong with you?
You want to ruin my program?
We're at a haunted place, aren't you supposed to get scared and make a racket?
And yet, you kept trying to spoil it.
Perhaps, I didn't read the air correctly?
You didn't get one bit.
Isn't that alright?
As a result, we had exposed her worst date...
As a rental girlfriend who couldn't read the air on the internet.
Remi.
This is the end for your number one spot.
Ah, I'm feeling good.
Were you surprised?
Those sweet potatoes had no taste, right?
And how did the butter potato covered with Shichimi taste?
Your reactions were the best.
Well then, I'm glad.
What?
By humiliating me, the rental girlfriend...
You've earned viewership, right?
You're right. It's like papier-mache.
Ewww~
Eh~ I'm sorry.
Hey, hey. There are a lot of comments. This is crazy.
You have noticed?
I thought I should follow along.
What's with you?
Didn't that make you happy, Mero-rin?
Yes, that's right. Do you have a problem?
Isn't that right?
"I've had a delicious meal"...
Or "I went on a trip with my friends"...
Who would enjoy watching those things?
Everyone enjoys watching people's misfortunes.
I'm just offer that to the viewers.
However...
Do you intend to become popular like this?
Eh?
I'll tell you one thing.
Even if you look down on someone, you won't become popular.
Don't get it wrong.
The rental has ended.
Thank you very much for using our service.
And... this is your phone.
What?
I secretly switched your phone with mine when you dropped it earlier.
Eh? Eh?
By the way, we're still live.
- No kidding?! - Even our conversation just now?!
What... It's flooding with comments?!
The number of pay-to-view viewers has greatly increased.
Wasn't that your intention?
What is this?
You mean, even now everything was directed by Remi?
Excuse me.
Don't mess with me!
She got me.
Ah, this many...
Yes. This is Rental Lovers.
Reservations for Remi-chan have just poured in.
Another reservation. On this one too. Ah~
I will even welcome a cat's help.
Remi-chan.
I'm Takasugi Remi whom you've made a reservation for 3 minutes.
You remembered about the reward.
Well then, the rental will start now.
Kou-chan~ What do you want to do for 3 minutes?
Well then, will you listen to how hard I work today?
Okay.
What happended today?
Today, I helped with Akemi-san's date.
The guy couldn't use his hand.
I had to copy sutra in his place.
- Is that so? - I've never done it, but...
- I gave my utmost best to copy. - That's amazing. Did you do it well?
Praise me. Praise me.
You're amazing~
