Caution: The upcoming section reveals plot details for Episode 7 of Rent-a-Girlfriend Season 3, titled "Kazuya and Her," currently available to stream on Crunchyroll.
Following the completion of the movie-making project, Rent-a-Girlfriend's storyline takes an unpredictable turn as new opportunities arise for Kazuya. While Chizuru finds herself in a vulnerable state beneath the night sky, Kazuya's efforts in that regard have been limited. On the contrary, Ruka seizes the opportunity to assert her claims as his temporary girlfriend.
Birthday Date at the Pool
In order to fulfill his promise of granting Ruka's every birthday wish, Kazuya embarks on a romantic excursion throughout the city with his affectionate girlfriend. However, this outing may unlock newfound emotions within Kazuya, causing him to view Ruka in a different light and potentially leading him to discover his true love. It is worth noting that this particular episode stands out in the series as the only instance where Kazuya and Chizuru do not interact, suggesting that Rent-a-Girlfriend could present a formidable challenger for Chizuru's affections.
With a promise to fulfill all of Ruka's wishes on her birthday, Kazuya surrendered complete control over his actions. Ruka decided that their first destination should be the pool, aiming to create a sizzling date. However, despite the opportunity to see his "real" girlfriend in a swimsuit, Kazuya remained troubled throughout the entire experience. It was evident that this date was not of his choosing, as he had never wanted to go out with Ruka in the first place. His unease during the date further emphasized his lack of enthusiasm.
Kazuya's erratic behavior primarily stems from his feelings for Chizuru, as he doesn't want her to witness their intimate date. However, Ruka's explicit advances intensified the situation, making it even harder for Kazuya to control his physical desires. Not only did he have to see Ruka's petite body in a swimsuit, but he also had to apply sunscreen all over her. Ruka's advances were effective in arousing Kazuya, but only on a physical level. He still couldn't rid himself of the guilt of betraying Chizuru. While Ruka intended to make Kazuya develop the same feelings for her, he believed that her jealousy was simply a result of the competition with Chizuru. This difference in their thoughts escalated the already chaotic date.
Ruka’s True Intentions With the Date
Initially, Kazuya assumed that Ruka's aggressive behavior was driven by her jealousy towards Chizuru and their weekend escapade. In an effort to make amends, he even apologizes for inadvertently fueling her competitive nature due to his mistake with the trip. However, to his surprise, Ruka opens up and reveals that her advances had nothing to do with Chizuru.
Rather, she discloses that it has always been a cherished dream of hers to have a boyfriend who would take care of her and make her feel special on her birthday. Indifferent towards Chizuru and their outing, Ruka's direct approach was fueled by her desire to experience the joy of being treated like a princess on her special day. Although her explanation may initially seem peculiar, given Ruka's consistent childlike demeanor throughout the series, it becomes evident that she simply yearned to feel extraordinary for once in her life.
Kazuya’s Progress With Chizuru
Her reasoning further made Kazuya question himself since he was rather harsh in his assumptions about Ruka. Even at the end of the date, she wanted one last favor – being able to call Kazuya casually by his name. However, he assumed she would ask for a kiss or something explicit. Instead of fulfilling her desires and being happy for her, Kazuya kept on doubting her intentions. While the date certainly didn’t sway him away from Chizuru, it still made Kazuya see Ruka in a different light, one that isn’t tainted by her tiresome and childlike antics.
This episode marks a unique shift where Chizuru and Kazuya have no interaction. However, her absence is simply inconceivable as the series would be incomplete without her. In a heartwarming scene at the hospital, Chizuru shares her excitement over a movie and recounts Kazuya's amusing escapades to her beloved Granny Sayori. While doing so, she unexpectedly becomes enthralled in discussing Kazuya, realizing the intensity of her own passionate feelings for him.
Following their trip to Madarao and a special moment shared under the stars, Chizuru and Kazuya have grown even closer. Yet, Chizuru continues to struggle with fully embracing her feelings for him, adding to the ongoing unpredictability of Rent-a-Girlfriend.
In this episode, Ruka emerges as a potential contender to become Kazuya's final girlfriend, as he witnesses a completely different side of her. Despite this, Chizuru's role as the central character in the series makes it challenging for any other girl in the harem to surpass her. While the future remains uncertain, it is evident that Kazuya remains committed to pursuing a meaningful relationship with Chizuru alone.
