Rent a Girlfriend Chapter 287 Recap
Kazuya is questioning the chatbot GPI (AI bot) for advice on how to make Chizuru date him, but he is unsatisfied with the chatbot’s answers. He stares at their picture together on his phone, blushing hard. He doesn’t want to waste the remaining two weeks they have to live together and decides to make a move instead of waiting for things to work out automatically between them.
While Kazuya ponders how to be direct with Chizuru about his feelings, she knocks on the door. Kazuya opens the door quickly, causing a loud noise that startles Chizuru. Despite being startled, Kazuya manages to gather his courage and tries to be direct with Chizuru. However, their conversation gets interrupted by Umi Nakano, who comes to get incensed for paying his respects at the shrine in Chizuru’s place.
Mini Yaemori comes out after hearing the noise, and Chizuru introduces Umi and Mini to each other. Kazuya becomes worried that Umi might find out that he is living with Chizuru while being dressed casually. Umi leaves without showing any concern after learning that Kazuya and Chizuru were kicked out of their homes and are staying together.
Kazuya feels jealous as he notices that Chizuru seems to be a bit close to Umi. He questions Mini about Umi, expressing his worries. Mini assures Kazuya that Umi has never been there before and advises him not to worry about him. Kazuya self-motivates himself, believing that things will go well for him despite his worries.
Chizuru leads Umi to the tatami room to get the incense, and Umi gives a strange gaze when Chizuru is leading the way. Meanwhile, Kazuya is stressed by the complete silence in the tatami room and asks Mini if she hears anything from there. Mini replies that she doesn’t hear anything and tells Kazuya to stop being so annoyingly worried.
