Picking up the events from the previous episode, Rent-A-Girlfriend season 4 episode 5 begins with a conversation between Mami and Chizuru at the donut shop. Mami mentions how surprising it was to see her on the screen while she was looking into the crowdfunding as part of the app development for the website.

After stalling for a bit, Mami finally asks Chizuru whether being a rental girlfriend is the best for her career. Chizuru replies that she reports everything she does to the agency, so there's no problem. Afterward, Chizuru apologizes to Mami for still seeing Kazuya. Mami says there's no need to be sorry. However, she somehow feels bad about Nagomi, who is being deceived.

According to Rent-A-Girlfriend season 4 episode 5, Mami knows why Chizuru is still trying to support Kazuya. However, she reminds her that she is still lying to his family, and it's not normal. At first, Mami thought that Chizuru had developed feelings for Kazuya. However, she knows from experience how the boy is. Even though he gets rejected, he will still believe as if the other person loves him.

That's why Mami wants to save Chizuru from being tossed around. According to Rent-A-Girlfriend season 4 episode 5, Mami wants to save Chizuru from Kazuya. Meanwhile, Kazuya finds an old photograph of himself with Chizuru and feels he truly loves her. No matter what he does, he cannot get her out of his mind. Yet, suddenly, he remembers Kibe's words from before and realizes he must act quickly.

He tiptoes to Chizuru's house to check if she is home. At this moment, Chizuru returns to the dorm, surprising Kazuya in the process. Kazuya wants to say something to Chizuru but is interrupted by Ruka's phone call. Eventually, he picks up the phone and asks Ruka what's wrong. Ruka shouts at Kazuya, asking him what led him to respond so late.

Apparently, she cannot concentrate on her studies ever since Kazuya asked her to break up with him. She asks Kazuya whether he is planning to confess his feelings to Chizuru. Ruka finds out that Kazuya and Chizuru "crossed paths" a while ago and decides to meet him soon.

She snaps at him and asks him to stay put in his room. When Kazuya asks why she is coming over, Ruka says she wants to monitor him. On the other hand, he sees Chizuru heading outside. After a while, Ruka arrives at Kazuya's dorm and asks how many days she can stay with him.

Elsewhere, in Rent-A-Girlfriend season 4 episode 5, Chizuru Ichinose sweats it out by playing baseball. While practicing her swings, she deeply thinks about her conversation with Mami a while ago. Chizuru is convinced that Mami wants to expose everything, though she doesn't know how she will do it. At the same time, she knows that she cannot stop Mami if she decides to expose the truth.

That said, she cannot understand Mami's intentions, who has zero interest in taking back Kazuya. At this moment, she remembers Kazuya saying that he wants her (Chizuru) to be "happy." Chizuru is puzzled by such complex emotions that she doesn't know what to do. She wonders whether Mami is waiting for her to react or for her moment to strike. At any rate, she realizes that she needs to act.
