Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter and here, Midoriya is having an emotional crisis after getting dumped by Uraraka in the midst of their graduation.
But then after accidentally coming across an app where a boy would RENT A GIRLFRIEND for a fixed amount of time, he unknowingly decided to give it a try.
Will he be able to overcome his heartbreak and move on using this rental thing…?
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 3: Rentaru-bi
As Izuku is standing in front of a popular mall, someone approached him, where he is taken aback at who appeared in front of him. The person who he intend to meet was a teenage girl, in which she displayed the following characteristics:
- a girl of medium height and has a slim build.
- She has teal eyes and long orange hair that she typically wears tied into a high ponytail on the left side of her head.
- Her bangs are split into three clumps around her eyes, and some of her hair sticks up in large tufts at the top of her head.
- slightly well-endowed breasts
- Wearing cardigan blouse
- A red mini-skirt
- semi-boots with heels
There the teen girl stood there smiling, as she got to meet the person she interacted through the private messaging, and is rather bemused to see Izuku in the flesh, as she saw him only through an avatar that the dating app showed.
There the teen girl, who is of the same age as Izuku, introduces herself as Itsuka Kendo, the rental girlfriend for the day.
"Hello."
"Huh?"
"You're Izuku Midoriya, correct?"
"Y-yeah…I'm Midoriya."
"Please to meet you. I'm Itsuka Kendo. Your rental girlfriend for the day."
"Girl…friend…?"
"Yup. So let's get on with our date."
"…"
Midoriya is awestruck at the sight before him, as he didn't expect to see Kendo in the flesh, as she is VERY SEXY in real time as opposed to the one he saw on the app, and noted that she is a slightly taller than him, hence it looked a bit awkward, yet because he is still reeling from the unjustified break-up with Uraraka, he decided to go along with it to help him cope with the heartbreak, and the two teens walked around Shibuya, acting like a real couple even though they are not.
They went to the park, where they are holding hands while chatting, then at a carnival, where Kendo acted like she is enjoying herself, amid the romantic act she displayed, like hugging him, holding hands and the stuff that are common sight among couples.
Still, Midoriya felt hollow as he felt that there is no romantic spark between them, and this made him mentally question himself if he did the right thing in going through with this rental date thing.
His trail of thoughts was interrupted when Kendo asked if he is enjoying himself in their date, which made him hesitate to reply.
"So…"
"Huh?"
"What do you think…?"
"?"
"Enjoying our date so far…?"
"Um…"
"Midoriya-kun…?"
"Well…"
Midoriya is unsure, but just nodded and there Kendo gently grabbed his hand and began to walk around the park, acting like a real couple, and while the appearance they gave made them look like a real-life couple, it slowly attracted some attention, as passerby saw the passing teens, and we're bemused to see how cute they look.
"Wow…"
"Look at that…"
"So cute…"
"That boy's lucky…"
"But he's quite shorter than her…"
"Are they compatible…?"
"He better eat more food with vitamins…"
"LUCKY that's the thing…"
However, some appeared critical, as they do not feel convinced, and can be heard whispering some things that they feel not make any sense, such as the height gap, where Kendo is 5'5 ½, while Midoriya is 5'5 in height.
Another contention is that while Kendo is beautiful and celebrity-like material, Midoriya is plain-looking, and wondered if he is really dating her or is just using her to boost his image and brag to his friends.
"Look at that…"
"That boy is such a lecher…"
"Is he really dating her?"
"He's a bit short…"
"I bet he's doing this to make himself look good…"
"That brat is such a scumbag…"
"A chauvinist…"
"Stupid brat…"
Midoriya overheard it and is upset, as they do not know what is like to be ditched by someone they love over a shallow reason, but Kendo gently told him to ignore the detractors and just concentrate on their date, which he slowly nodded.
"Easy, Midoriya."
"Huh?"
"Just ignore them."
"…"
"What matters is that we're having fun."
"Y-yeah…"
"So lighten up."
"O-okay…"
The two teens went to a fast food restaurant and had snacks, where Midoriya stared at Kendo, and he is somewhat taken by her beauty and charms, and she appeared to be sweet and friendly, though she can be a bit talkative at times, which add more to her charming personality.
He mentally compared notes as he made some comparison between Kendo and Uraraka, and he felt conflicted as he is still nursing a broken heart due to the breakup made by Uraraka.
There Kendo gently asked him if he is okay, looking rather concerned, but not wanting to cause any unnecessary commotion, Midoriya feigned innocence and assured to her that he is okay.
"Really?"
"Yes. I'm okay."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm really fine."
"Let me know if you…"
"I'm fine. Really."
"Sure?"
"Yes."
Seeing that he appeared to be fine, Kendo nodded and the two teens continue with their date, going to places where couples frequented, and eventually came to a park which has an underwater zoo, where marine animals are shown on display, and while in the midst of their date, Midoriya felt that their date appeared too good to be true.
He mentally questioned if Kendo is being sincere or not, and realized that this is just a girlfriend rent thing, it made him feel quite empty and hollow, as he felt that this is not a real relationship.
As Kendo is glancing at her smartphone, Midoriya glanced at his, and accidentally came across the rental girlfriend site, where his avatar is displayed and is now asking how his date went. Midoriya was still reeling from the heartbreak he felt, feeling that the date he went through was meaningless, he scrolled the site and saw Kendo's avatar.
There he saw the rating score, which shows that the score of 10 being the highest, and 1 being the lowest, and wanting to get this over with, he gave her avatar a rating score of 1.
Kendo saw the rating she got and became pissed off, and grabbed him by his collar and shook him rather violently, demanding an explanation on why he gave her a very low score, which Midoriya was bewildered at the attitude she just exhibited.
"Hey!"
"Whoa!"
"What the FUCK is the meaning of this?"
"WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA!"
"Why did you gave me a score of ONE?"
"WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA!"
"Can't you give me a higher score?"
"WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA-WHOA!"
The commotion they made attracted the attention of other patrons, and they wondered if they stumbled onto a lovers' quarrel, seeing that the two teens appeared passionate.
"Look at that…"
"A lovers' quarrel?"
"Looks like it…"
"And a violent one…"
"Whoa…"
"Feel bad for that boy…"
"That girl's too aggressive…"
"He needs to stand up to her…"
Others, however, were annoyed and told the two teens to take their quarrel elsewhere and not disturb other people here as it would cause a scandalous scene, with the rest threatening to call the usher and have the two teens ejected from the park.
"Hey!"
"Stop that, you two!"
"You're disturbing the other customers!"
"Don't you dare come closer!"
"They're not listening…"
"Someone help!"
"Call the usher!"
"Dial 1-1-9!"
Coincidentally, an usher passed by and asked what is the commotion about, and when the patrons pointed their fingers at the two teens, the usher asked the two if they did any form of disturbance, which Midoriya and Kendo are quick to deny any wrongdoing, and the usher decided to give them a simple reprimand and told them not to make a racket.
"So please don't make any kind of disturbance, okay?"
"Yes.."
"Yes…"
"If you cause another commotion, I'll have you two ejected. Got that?"
"Yes.."
"Yes…"
"Good. So please behave."
"Yes.."
"Yes…"
After that, Kendo locked Midoriya in a headlock and dragged him towards the nearest restroom, and the patrons sweat-dropped at seeing that, and they began to wonder if the two teens are really a couple having a fight or if they are a pair of delinquents.
"Geez…"
"Look at that…"
"Are they really a couple?"
"And is that how they quarrel?"
"I feel bad for that boy…"
"That girl may be a goddess, but she has a real attitude…"
"Whatever, let's leave them."
"Right."
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, as there's not much action here except that the date proceeded without a hitch…only for Midoriya to unintentionally trigger a reaction from Kendo which seemingly SHOWED HER TRUE COLORS…
And that nearly costs them to get thrown out of the zoo…
