Following a lengthy break from their rental dates, Rent-a-Girlfriend returns to its original concept. However, this time, the circumstances have changed. The focus of the date is not solely to fulfill Kazuya's longing for intimacy or his awkward efforts to grow closer to Chizuru. Instead, he has organized the entire outing with a noble intention – to uplift Chizuru's spirits.
Back to Rental Dates
Despite recently losing her grandmother, Chizuru remains determined to maintain her cheerful facade. The success of the date is crucial for Kazuya to break down her emotional barriers, and he has prepared for every possible outcome. Despite Kazuya's tendency to behave like a simp throughout the episode, it provides a much-needed respite after a succession of somber episodes.
Despite Kazuya's persistent efforts to establish a genuine romantic connection, he consistently finds himself resorting to rental dates. The recent movie project appeared to mark the end of Kazuya and Chizuru's professional arrangement, only to find them embarking on yet another rental date in Rent-a-Girlfriend. While Kazuya's intentions for this particular outing may be sincere, it cannot be denied that it hinders his progress throughout Season 3.

Instead of relapsing, Kazuya is determined to dive headfirst into spending money during the date, especially since he booked Chizuru for the entire day. The date starts off smoothly, with Kazuya immediately buying Chizuru a new dress. As a rental girlfriend, she insists on wearing the new dress for the entire day, which exhilarates Kazuya. The dress itself is quite revealing, and Chizuru donning it only fuels Kazuya's uncontrollable desires.
Throughout the lengthy date, which includes stops at a fancy restaurant and an indoor bouldering facility, Kazuya's relentless ogling remains consistent. He even admits to selecting the bouldering activity specifically because he wanted to see Chizuru in athletic attire, as he finds her body even more attractive in tight clothing. It is clear that Kazuya has his own hidden motives for the date and that his unsettling behavior has not changed despite the pause in their rental dates.
Chizuru Sees Right Through Kazuya's Plans
During their lunch break, Chizuru directly confronts Kazuya about the true reason behind their date, connecting it to the recent passing of her grandmother. While Chizuru's instincts were correct, Kazuya tries to downplay it by claiming that he had other motivations for arranging the rental date. Chizuru reasserts that she's fine and her grandmother's death hasn't affected her greatly. Despite maintaining her composed demeanor, she shifts the conversation back to expressing her gratitude towards Kazuya for his kindness.
Thanks to Kazuya's timely actions, Grandma Sayuri was able to catch a glimpse of the movie before she passed away. Although she wasn't able to see Chizuru's performance on the big screen, she witnessed her granddaughter's potential as an actor and the success that awaits her. The significance of his actions deeply touches Kazuya's heart, knowing that they meant so much to Chizuru. Even if their bond doesn't strengthen as a result, Kazuya still finds solace in the fact that he prevented any potential regrets for Chizuru.
Splurging on a Rental
Kazuya consistently mentions the financial strain of the date, leading Chizuru to worry about whether he can afford it. Despite this, he remains determined to provide Chizuru with a enjoyable time and assures her that there is no need to be concerned. Kazuya's behavior of constantly bringing up the cost of the date while also trying to make Chizuru feel better is peculiar.
This behavior can be interpreted in different ways. On one hand, it could make Kazuya seem like a creepy individual who overly emphasizes the price, despite his genuine desire for Chizuru's comfort. On the other hand, it demonstrates Kazuya's deep care for Chizuru, as he is willing to spend his financial resources to ensure she has a good time. Regardless of his intentions, it is undeniable that this erratic behavior aligns with his awkward personality.
A Sentimental Conclusion to the Date
Kazuya had already planned out the date, with fireworks as the grand finale. As Chizuru lights a sparkler, memories of her grandparents flood back, overwhelming her with emotions. She begins to cry as Kazuya returns, leaving us in suspense about what will happen next. This moment feels like a turning point for Chizuru, as Kazuya's efforts have finally broken down her guarded exterior. While it's not certain if she will become his girlfriend, this marks a significant step towards their eventual relationship.
