## Plot

Mami wants to talk with Kazuya. She reveals that Chizuru is a rental girlfriend, but Kazuya isn't surprised and say that Chizuru had told him and their talk with Mami. Mami reveals she wanted to tell him sooner and went to his place last night, but he wasn't home. Mami states she is surprised that even such service as rental girlfriend existed. Kazuya expect that she is mad, however, Mami asks him if its her fault that he done it. While that's the truth, Kazuya denies it, stating he done it for social research. Mami wonders if he had fallen for Chizuru, but Kazuya denies it. Mami is glad, stating that she knew he isn't a fool and apologizes for doubting him. She grabs Kazuya's hand and explains that he needs to have a real girlfriend and have fun in college, as people live once and as working adults, they don't have that much time, and spending money on Chizuru's job is just waste of money. Kazuya agrees and Mami leaves. Kazuya relaxes, thinking she was gonna chew him out, however, he needs to make sure she doesn't find out he is still renting Chizuru. Meanwhile, Mami realizes he was lying and as he was panicking quite a lot, it doesn't look like he only hired Chizuru one time. She still isn't sure if the bag is Chizuru's, but knows there is more to it. Mami then sees Yoshiaki Kibe and greets him.

Ruka decides that she will cook for Kazuya tonight, as it looks like he lost some weight, and as his girlfriend, she can't ignore it. The two go shopping and while Ruka picks up ingredients, Kazuya realizes that if she cooks and then they eat, it will become quite late, but guesses she will still go home after that. Seeing what she is taking, he asks her what she plans on making. Ruka reveals its curry, but Kazuya states she doesn't need turtle meat for that. Ruka states for some curry, you need it and she just wants to make him feel better. Kazuya ends up paying for the products, with more than half of the bill being for the turtle.

At his place, Ruka tells him to sit and watch how cute she is while she cooks for him. She gives him a beer, but not wanting to get drunk, Kazuya denies it. Ruka takes its back, but ends up pouring it into the curry, stating she forgot to buy cooking wine. Kazuya searches on the internet and do finds that turtle curry exist. He then wonders if she lied that he lost weight and that she must have planned all of this. Caught, Ruka avoids the question and states that maybe she was the one that gained weight. Happily, Ruka notes that she haven't fallen in love before and now knows what it feels to cook for your boyfriend. When the curry is ready and they sit to eat, Kazuya tastes it and ends up enjoying it, which makes Ruka happy. The two then sit and watch TV together. Kazuya recalls that they went out, she cooked for him, they ate together, watch TV and he didn't need to pay her. If he had a girlfriend and experienced that often, he would have been really happy. Kazuya sees that Ruka is texting someone and as he look, he sees that she is texting her mom, saying she will be staying over at Yuka's place. Seeing that Kazuya panics, but Ruka wonders what's the big deal as she wants to be lovey-dovey with him. Kazuya forces her to leave, as she shouldn't stay that easily at a guy's place. However, as he opens the door and pushes her out, he sees its heavy raining. Kazuya then sees on the news that a typhoon is coming and Ruka smiles.

Since she got wet from the rain, Ruka takes a bath and wears one of Kazuya's shirts. Kazuya is annoyed that she didn't put on the pants he left for her, but Ruka states she didn't find them cute. Kazuya still haven't accepted that she can stay over, but Ruka points out that all the trains stopped running and he isn't the type to throw her out in the rain. Kazuya asks her to be more quiet, or the neighbor will hear them. Ruka gets annoyed that he still thinks of Chizuru, but accepts it. She explains that she won't be jumping on him, and will love if he makes the first move, but for now she is happy to complete her first goal, to stay over the night.

Annoyed, Kazuya decides to take a bath. There he wonders if he would be able to resist her all night, as he doesn't know what else she intends to do, and decides to rub one out. When he comes out, Ruka notices he doesn't react much to her and wonders if something happened. Later, she watches one of her videos, that reached 80k likes. Kazuya isn't surprised as she is really attractive. Normally he sees her dressed up, but now he sees her in casual clothes and she is indeed quite attractive. Ruka reaches for her bag to show a picture she took with her friends, but condoms end up falling from the bag. She feels quite embarrassed and quickly hides them, asking him to pretend that he didn't see it and that she had them just in case. Kazuya unable to believe what he saw, decides to go to sleep alone in the kitchen.

Thirty minutes had passed, but Kazuya still can't fall asleep. He wonders if Ruka is asleep and what gotten into her, and if she is stressed out due to Chizuru. Kazuya then feels something rubbing on his back and realizes its Ruka. Kazuya barely holds himself from not turning, but then sees his phone case which was a gift from Chizuru. Ruka reminds him that at the hotel she told him she is ready to take their relationship seriously, but knows she isn't attractive enough for him. She isn't as mature as Chizuru and doesn't have sex appeal. Kazuya probably see her as some kid and is probably turning him off, but even being like this makes her feel happy. Annoyed, Kazuya turns and gets on her. He states that he really wants her and she is cute, but he doesn't think this is love, and because of that he can't lay a hand on her, or take the next step. He is happy that a girl like her likes him, but wants Ruka to stay away this night, so that he doesn't make a terrible mistake. Ruka then goes to her bed, happy from what Kazuya told her.

In the morning, Kazuya haven't slept at all. Ruka tells him she is happy that he doesn't find her a nuisance and felt like he told her she can stay by his side. She kisses his by the cheek and goes out. In front of his apartment, she yells at Chizuru's door, thanking Kazuya for the night, that she will never forget and the joy she felt. As Ruka leaves, Kazuya sees there is no reaction from Chizuru's apartment and is glad that she is likely still sleeping. However, Chizuru is behind her door as she was about to throw out the trash and is shocked from what she heard.
