The fourth episode of Rent-a-Girlfriend Season 3 begins with Mini revealing to Chizuru that Kazuya has romantic feelings for her. Chizuru reacts with disbelief, as this contradicts Kazuya's previous claims that he wasn't interested in her. Although Chizuru herself has feelings for Kazuya, she resigns herself to her perpetual single life, believing that Kazuya does not reciprocate her emotions.
Kazuya seems oblivious to Chizuru's feelings, and the two continue to deny their mutual attraction. Despite her intelligence and strong social skills, Chizuru also fails to recognize that Kazuya likes her.
The plot then shifts to the ongoing crowdfunding campaign. With only one week left, Mini has yet to leverage her considerable online influence to boost the campaign. Chizuru, on the other hand, wants to use the online presence of her actress colleague Umi to draw more attention to their cause. Although Mini is directly involved in the campaign, she hasn't promoted it to her followers.
Umi, who has over 200,000 followers, agrees to help Chizuru advertise the campaign, subtly tying his consent to an invitation to a play. Chizuru, innocent in her understanding, doesn't recognize the implicit transactional nature of this arrangement. She believes Umi simply invited her to the play because his girlfriend couldn't attend. Mini, however, sees through this facade and convinces Kazuya to allow Chizuru to go to the play with Umi.
It turns out that Umi's girlfriend won't be coming because they broke up a week earlier. Chizuru suddenly becomes aware of the gravity of her situation and realizes she is essentially on a date with Umi. Although Umi is portrayed as attractive, Chizuru doesn't consider him a romantic person. Umi's immediate attempts to get close to Chizuru after a recent breakup and his insistence on dinner raise doubts about his intentions. Nevertheless, Chizuru manages to stand her ground and extricate herself from the uncomfortable situation.
