Rent a Girlfriend Season 3 - Episode 6

In "Rent-a-Girlfriend," Season 3, Episode 6, the setting primarily takes place in a picturesque mountain inn where Kazuya and Chizuru spend time. The episode begins with Ruka learning about this trip. However, instead of confronting the duo at the inn, she appears at the bus stop as they prepare to depart, surprising them.

At the inn, a potentially dramatic situation arises when Chizuru and Kazuya are assigned to the same room. However, the evening passes without any notable incidents. Chizuru is shown struggling to sleep, hinting at her inner emotional state, which may be related to her feelings for Kazuya.

The episode also depicts the two working on their film project, particularly shooting the final scene. This section proceeds smoothly, without any challenges or interruptions. In a personal moment, Chizuru shares a past promise she made to her grandfather with Kazuya. This narrative, however, is presented through a flashback from an earlier season, making the story familiar to viewers.

Amid the tranquil surroundings of the inn, there is a brief segment featuring an onsen or hot spring bath. While the episode offers a fleeting glimpse of Chizuru relaxing in it, there is a moment where Kazuya imagines Chizuru in the adjacent bath, only to realize she isn’t there.

During the bus ride back, a significant moment occurs when Chizuru, tired from the trip, accidentally falls asleep on Kazuya’s shoulder, suggesting a growing closeness between the two. When she wakes up, she doesn’t address the incident. However, a later scene in the bathroom reveals she is fully aware of her gesture.
