What do you mean that Remi-chan has quit?
Yamada Kosuke
I have no explanation for that.
But we were together just now.
If even you say that...
Kosuke.
Michibata Sumire
/Kosuke's childhood friend
You were with Remi-san?
Ah...
I've heard about it.
That you promised... to be with this lady today.
No. Well...
Right now, let's talk about Remi-chan...
...But who is this guy?
Remi-chan's childhood friend.
He said that he's looking for her.
What?! Childhood friend?
Kiryu Seishiro
/Remi's childhood friend
It took me a lot of time to find out about this place.
Ah~When I thought I've come to the place where I can reach you...
You've run away to some place faraway again.
Where are you right now...?
Why don't you try making a reservation with Remi-chan?
But you said she has quit?
I'll contact her but it's up to her to accept or refuse.
/President
Takami Kenbutsu
Well, that is if her contact number's still working.
That's convenient~
But her rental fee is 60 thousands yen for 1 hour.
You'll pay for the dating cost.
That's right...
If you want to have a long talk with Remi-chan...
How about having a meal date at a restaurant?
That's what I want.
Kuzuyama-kun.
Make a reservation at a restaurant over the internet.
Okay. Enter your name here.
Takasugi Remi
Remi-chan, I'm sorry!! I've carelessly accepted a reservation with you for tomorrow! What should I do?
Customer : Kiryu Seishiro-sama
Seishiro...
Rental Love
Thanks for waiting.
Thank you very much for inviting us.
But is it okay to invite us here?
/Kosuke's Close Friend
Tachibana Hayato
/Hayato's Girlfriend
Hosoi Miki
Yes. I rather feel bad for the sudden invitation.
Kuzuyama-kun mistakenly made 4 reservations at the restaurant.
They said that we can't cancel now.
Yuki Sho
Basketball Club's Noble Youth
We ought to thank Yamada-senpai for not accustomed with online reservation.
Shut up.
Well then, let's go in.
I'll take you to your seats.
I'm seating with him...
Looks like he's already here.
Ah!
Damnit. Childhood friend bastard!
What's your intention for meeting with Remi-chan now!
After this...
Your companion is waiting for you.
Thank you.
Ah! She's here!
Ah~ So cute~!
Remi-chan. You're so cute that it's illegal.
And yet... And yet...
He's over there.
Okay.
Ah... Ah...
You're going to that guy's table!
Thank you very much for your reservation.
I'm Takasugi Remi.
We've finally met.
It's been awhile, Onii-chan*.
*Older brother, commonly used by women to address young men who are older, often regardless of their blood relations.
That dress...
I'm wearing this for you.
Does it suit me?
For me...?
Not bad.
- Please take your seat. - Okay.
Well then, the rental will start now.
Remi-san...
She even wears that kind of clothes.
You also look great, Sumire-san.
I'm at a loss of what to eat.
He came to bring Remi-chan home, that means...
Ah!
That guy's a cat too?
For aperitif, is champagne okay?
Yeah.
Champagne for her.
Kir Royale for me.
Add champagne to crème de cassis and give it a gentle stir.
Yes sir.
I'm with Onii-chan today.
Should I get drunk?
You want me to look after you?
Do you want another man to look after me?
Oh dear.
So, Onii-chan...
Did you come today to bring me back?
Bring you back?
No way!
I came to pick you up.
Why is she calling him "Onii-chan"?
Even for childhood friends, that's sneaky!
Ah~
I want Remi-chan to call me "Onii-chan" too~
Onii-chan.
What are you going to do?
We have already reserved the ceremony hall.
Ceremony hall?!
Don't embarrass your parents.
I understand that you can't sort out your feelings for our marriage.
I understand but it's already been decided.
Eh?!
I don't against the marriage.
Then, what don't you like?
I don't care about things like ceremony.
What is this?! What does that mean?
Your selfishness seems going strong again.
Ma...Married?!
Married... No...
Sir, this table is reserved.
Then, move those two to the table over there...
I couldn't hear what they're talking about very well.
I'm really sorry.
But I can't do that.
She's my younger sister.
Your younger sister?
As her brother...
I'm worried about her...
Welcome back.
That childhood friend is Remi-chan's fiancee.
Oh, really.
Well then Kuzuyama-kun, you have no hope.
No.
I think it's the opposite.
Despite being engaged...
She's worked as a rental girlfriend at a place she's unfamiliar with.
So it's nature to think that she didn't want to marry that childhood friend.
Well then, in order to bring your sister back...
Probably on today's date, that childhood friend will remindingly propose to her.
Remindingly propose to her?
- Yes. - But why are you eavesdropping?
I've seen this kind of scene so many times.
Remi-chan's with another guy other than me...
I absolutely won't allow it.
Excuse me, sir...
Isn't she your sister?
I've found out the other day that we're not blood related.
Damn it.
If I knew he'd propose, I wouldn't have let her come to this date.
Speaking of proposal, dessert is the best timing for it.
If a lot of orders are placed, even the kitchen will get busy.
The pace of serving foods to that table will be delayed.
And the dessert time will be a long time ahead.
You...
Komukai
Waiter
My name's Komukai.
Komukai-san...
I'm grateful.
I have a favor to ask of you.
Why so sudden?
Today, the foods here are all-you-can-eat plan just for you two.
Order a ton and eat a ton.
Do they offer all-you-can-eat?
It's the back menu.
I'll take on the back menu.
Excuse me! I want to order a ton of dishes!
Hahaha. This will certainly get the kitchen busy.
His proposal will be delayed.
And in the meanwhile, I'll prepare a surprise and propose to her first.
It's a perfect strategy.
Ah?
Senpai.
Do you have a minute?
Ah?
I'm in a hurry right now.
Did you break your promise with Sumire-san?
Kosuke.
You were with Remi-san?
Ah... To be with her on her first day...?
It's a technical foul.
If you do anything else that'll make Sumire-san sad...
Ah!
I, from basketball club...
Ah!
I, Yuki Sho, from basketball club won't forgive you.
Thank you.
So pretty...
Please marry me!
Eh? Really?
Sorry. I gotta go now!
Senpai...
President, I'll step out for a bit.
Okay.
Re...Refill!
Where are you going?
Komukai-san...
I think it's lame to propose without a bouquet of flower.
What will you do if he proposes to your sister while you're going to a flower shop?
I...
Before, there was a man like that.
He couldn't confess his feelings for the girl for 10 years.
After 10 years, when he finally confessed to her on her birthday...
She had already decided on her marriage.
Though it's impossible to turn back the time...
It's not impossible to be honest...
To one's feelings now.
The man you're talking about...
Komukai...
I'll support you.
Please take care of the customers in my place.
The front's clear. The back's clear.
Komukai-san...
Yu-san. I've bought Takoyaki.
Thank you. Thank you.
There's something I have to tell you.
Kagawa Akemi
Maybe, I'll take a little break from work.
Amato Yu
Eh?!
Actually...
I'm having a 14th child...
What!
Remi has quit.
And you'll take a break?
Remi...
There's no other rental girlfriend who can understand the men's heart as much as her.
There's no reason for her to quit~
I'm hungry.
How long do they want to keep us waiting?
To the table over there? I'll do it!
Ah, wait...
If this food is served to Remi-chan's table...
That guy will propose to her.
I won't allow it. I absolutely won't allow it!
This is sole meunière!
It looks yummy!
What are you doing?
To propose, it gotta be today, right?
Eh?!
I...
Propose to Mi... Mikiti?
- Who are you? - I'll do it. Let me...
- No. Who are you? - It's my turn.
You're worrying about him?
No. Not really.
Thanks for waiting.
Do you want another refill on your wine?
No. I'm good.
- Please. - Oui.
Sorry about earlier.
Everything is for the proposal.
Eh?
Proposal...
Me?
I'm getting more and more hungry.
We've been served nothing but a soup.
Yeah.
Hey, Kosuke.
Are you plotting something?
Don't get in my way.
Is it all right?
For not telling them the truth.
The truth?
If you want to conceal about that...
It's all right with me.
However...
You should be yourself in front of me.
Don't wear a bandage to deceive yourself.
Bandage?
Which reminds me, ever since I've met her...
She always wears a bandage.
This is... a part of me.
Working as a rental girlfriend feel really great.
You see...
When you act as someone else, not yourself...
You are not yourself.
You can turn your eyes from reality, right?
You haven't changed a bit.
I didn't come to preach on you.
I need to use the restroom.
Have a nice trip.
Hey... wait.
You're eavesdropping again?
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to listen in.
Your marriage with that childhood friend is a marriage of convenience, isn't it?
Eh?
It all makes sense now.
Remi-chan.
Your father has a huge debt, right?
You wanted to do something about that and worked as a rental girlfriend to earn money.
Wait a minute.
You can be yourself in front of me, Remi-chan.
I won't let your childhood friend have his way.
If you leave it to me, it'll be all right.
Just be yourself!
I gotta do it here.
To steal Remi-chan from that childhood-friend-turned-lover...
I have to propose to her here.
If I can't get Remi-chan's heart here...
She will surely go to a distant place.
Damn it! Komukai-san's not back yet?
This is confit spare ribs.
It looks so good.
Mikiti...
Sumire-san...
Let me say it again.
I have something important to tell you.
What is it, Onii-chan?
Is he going to propose?!
I guarantee it will be a happy marriage.
Therefore...
Let me say it again.
I have something important to tell you.
What is it, Onii-chan?
Is he going to propose?!
I guarantee it will be a happy marriage.
Therefore...
No doubt!
Ah, my spare ribs!
- The marriage... - This is lab meunière!
Thank you.
You're welcome.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
Is there anything else?
I'd like to explain the dish.
Then make it short.
This lamb here...
It was raised in the warm climate of the Mediterranean Sea...
And was stewed in... delicious...
Very delicious... sauce...
The demi-glace sauce...
Richly oil... the Mediterranean Sea...
- Plentiful of the Mediterranean Sea... - That's enough.
Komukai's still not back yet?
When I finish this explanation, he'll propose to Remi-chan.
Finally, for this superior grace...
Bu... Burgundy... from Burgundy...
- Burgundy... - That's enough.
Komukai-san...
That's all. Excuse me.
Onii-chan. Let's eat.
Here I go.
Eh... This is...
What is happening?
Mikiti.
Sumire-san.
Marry me.
Please marry me.
Onii-sama.
Bon voyage.
Eh...
Kosuke?
Senpai?
What's going on?
Unhappy marriage doesn't suit you, Remi-chan.
I'll make you happy forever.
Marry me.
I...
When I rented you for the first time, I thought...
I wanted to rent you forever.
Those feelings haven't changed even now.
Thank you.
- Then... - But...
No matter how much you love me...
A rental girlfriend can't never become a real girlfriend.
I could only offer comfort and excitement to you at only those places and only for those times.
That's why...
The irritation when we would have a fight...
And the loneliness when we couldn't meet...
I can't offer that kind of pleasure in real love.
I can feel it.
I can feel that kind of pleasure of love with you.
A guy who know the part of you which I don't know has appeared.
Just seeing you talking intimately with him...
Somehow... my feelings can't settle down.
Are you all right having a marriage of convenience with this guy?
I'm not getting married.
I'm getting married.
Which is it?
Hey you.
Are you mistaken about something?
The person I'm getting married with is...
The older sister.
Eh?!
The reason I've been searching for this fellow is...
To get this fellow to attend our wedding ceremony.
To tell this fellow to at least come home for the older sister's wedding.
Eh~?! Eh... Eh?!
I won't attend my sister's wedding ceremony.
I came here today to tell you that.
Onii-sama...
This is...?
Seems like I've managed to stop them.
Cheers!
Time's up, so excuse me.
Wait, Remi-chan.
Then...
My proposal just now...
Will you seriously think about it?
Remi-chan.
Sumire...
Remi-san.
Please tell Kosuke the truth already.
He won't get it unless you tell him.
Sumire. Mind your own business.
Before... when I accidentally held Remi-san...
I could feel it.
It felt strange.
Am I right, Remi-san?
Please...
Tell Kosuke who you really are.
Eh?!
You're right.
I'll tell you.
This is...
My true self.
Huh?
Adam's apple?
Huh?
That means...
You're a man?!
