In school, she’s in her “switch on” mode, a fashionable and a cute girl and whom everyone admires. But the truth is she hides her true self, she has an opposite persona or the “switch off” mode whenever she’s in their house and in the market. Her personality is completely different from what she is in school; she’s scary, sloppy, always wearing glasses and sweatsuit and has an unattractive hairstyle. Aside from her family, the only one who knows her secret is Nino, her friend since elementary and knows a lot about her.

In the market, when Nika buys cucumber she meet Kamiyama Arata, a guy with old fashioned glasses and start talking with him in her way to the apartment building which is also Arata’s apartment too.

In school, the new transfer student is being bullied by a gang of girls and Nika came to save him and they run and head to the rooftop. The guy easily recognizes Nika as the cucumber girl and finds out about Nika’s switch on and off mode.

Accidentally, they meet again in the grocery along with Nika’s mother and sister. They mistakenly think that Arata is Nika’s boyfriend, so they invite him to go dinner with them and Arata agree because he wants to eat a homemade meal that he hadn’t had in a long time.

Arata stay at Nika’s room and notice how messy it is.

Nika asks why he needs to hide his true self and Arata answers honestly. He says that as long as he live with his glasses on, no one will get close to him and no one will ber interested in him and it will make his life easier. While they’re alone together, Nika can’t help herself to look how admirable and handsome Arata is. Her heart beats so fast and starts to like him.

After dinner, Nika escort Arata to the elevator. Arata give thanks to Nika and for the dinner and Nika says that he can come to her house to eat dinner again if he feel lonely eating alone. That night, Nika can’t sleep thinking about Arata.
