Episode 9 Story

Kazuya happens to run into Chizuru at a laundromat. While his heart races, he tries his best to keep the conversation natural as he sees her off.

However, immediately right after, he discovers a piece of women's underwear inside the washing machine! Panic-stricken at the thought that Chizuru might have left it behind, he is caught off guard when Chizuru suddenly walks back in.

With Chizuru looking hesitant to speak, Kazuya starts doing his laundry while keeping an eye on her. Then, Chizuru unexpectedly holds out an envelope. Wait, so she did not come back because she realized she forgot something?

"...Here. This is a ticket for my upcoming stage play."

Kazuya Kinoshita is a hopeless college student who introduced the prim and proper "Rental" Girlfriend, Chizuru Mizuhara, to his family and friends as his "real" girlfriend. Unable to reveal the truth, Kazuya continued their "fake" relationship, but as they overcame various hurdles together, his feelings for her gradually grew into "real" love.

Having successfully completed the crowdfunding campaign for their independent film, Kazuya has finally steeled his resolve regarding his feelings for Chizuru. Meanwhile, his somewhat pushy "provisional" girlfriend, Ruka Sarashina, begins pursuing him even more aggressively than ever before...! Furthermore, a tense situation arises as Mami Nanami—the devilish ex-girlfriend who knows the "truth" about Kazuya and Chizuru’s relationship—suddenly makes a move to get close to Chizuru.

With everyone around them getting dragged into the chaos, the story heats up even further! Now, the stage shifts to Spa Resort Hawaiians!! Kazuya’s "reality," which began with a single "rental," continues to evolve. Will the day ever come when the "fake" girlfriend becomes the "real" thing—?!
