At times, she is the charismatic student,
Morning!
Another time, she is a successful "Time Sale" granny,
And another time, she is a messy girl, who loves her chill-out knickers greatly.
But this true nature,
...is switch girl Tamiya Nika!
Exposing this kind of switching lifestyle between On- and Off-mode is more terrifying for her than anything.
Nika!
I saw it!
What did you see?
Was my "Off-mode" spotted'?
This month's "Seventeen" in which you appeared!
Ah, that! Thank God.
Your loungewear is super cute!
Nothing like that, it's only normal!
I bought it specifically for this article.
You should have told us in advance though!
Sorry, I forgot!
It's awkward to call attention to something full of lies!
Even Nika's underwear is cute!
Whenever we change I always think "Soo cute"!
Really? Thank you!
That's because, I must not slip on days with PE class, so I wear the danger-day knickers.
Of course I take care of unwanted hair too!
Show us what you are wearing today!
I wanna ~ see!
Impossible! I have to hide my chill-out knickers!
Miss Bra, Miss Knicker! If I can see you, I will lose my mind...
...in the form of Heavy Rotation!
What are you expecting, boys!
Me?
By the way look at this feature!
This kind of woman is disliked!
Let me see, "Sniffs things for smell",
"Her sneeze is scary",
"Pulls weird faces, but doesn't look funny", "Scratches her body with particular crunching noise",
"Licks lids", "Speaks to herself loudly"?
No way in hell!
Shoot, all things that are fun to me!
But I get it, it's the total opposite of Nika!
Isn't it~?
Tamiya Nika is a girl, who must not be beaten by these worries.
Switch Girl - Episode Three
I thought that scoring zero on tests was like goblins and the likes, in that it's all imaginary in actual reality.
Tamiya, do you want to repeat the year?
Repeating the year because of scoring zero on a short test?
Even though from all final exams, you did that on three subjects.
That...
Listen, it's the mid-term exams starting next week and if you fail four subjects,
...repeating the year will be definite. Got that?
What's wrong Nika?
If I don't pass the mid-term exams next week, I might repeat the year!
You just realised?
It's because you haven't studied at all!
Nino, teach me please!
Why don't you ask Arata?
He scored 100 on today's test.
Right?
100 points?
It's true!
Are you a clever one?
Kamiya, will you assist Nika in learning please?
What are you saying Nino?
There is no way he would agree to do something like that!
Is that so?
Of course! He would just think of it as an annoyance!
Fine.
Is it?
When you get home, come over with your books.
[ Kamiyama ]
Studying together, just the two of us...
...no one else but a young man, something might naturally occur,
There is a danger of being seen so,
Danger knickers? Done! Cleared unwanted hair? Done!
Brushing teeth? Done!
Hurry up, let's start!
What are you doing?
It hurts...
...nothing.
Such a tidy room, no sign of living!
"Hurry up, let's start"... here? For real? What should I do? Finally this day has come!
After standing behind me, he will softly draw close to my ear, then gently, studying on the futon...
Hey!
Yes?
Listen,
If failing four subjects means you repeat the year, then you are safe if you pass three.
We have a week until mid-term exams.
We are cutting out sleep as much as we can, and dedicate every minute outside school to studying.
Things that are hard to read and understand or have a broad topic, like Japanese, Classics and English, are out.
The three remaining, especially Maths and Physics, where the questions are predictable, we can just repeat similar patterns so it'll be likely that you score enough to avoid failing. About history,...
What's wrong?
I don't get it, telling me such complicated things!
Do you think I can just rush into studying like that?
Anyhow, it's studying with no time to sleep!
OK?
No, it's not!
This is not the study meeting I expected!
[ ^ Hōjō Masako ]
Name the wife of Minamoto no Yoritomo, who was later on called as the "nun-general"?
[ Buddhist nun, writer ^]
Setouchi Jakuchō!
[ ^ Yuan Shizu ]
In the second half of the 13th century, which Yuan Emperor tried to advance into Japan?
[ Sammo Hung, actor, director^ ]
Samo Han Kinpo!
[ English book name "The Travels of Marco Polo^ ]
Italian merchant, who wrote down "Records of Experience in the East"?
[ Japanese egg biscuits ]
Tamago Boro!
Are you messing with me?
Marco Polo!
"Q" is a substance that carries the quantity of heat. "m" is mass. Then what will "t"...
...I'm sorry.
Don't sleep!
I've done it! It's over!
Finally I can go home!
Do these by tomorrow.
Year 82...
Are you OK? You eyes are sunk in...
Nino, did you know that Hōjō...
Are you really OK?
Depending on the outcome of your next report-card, you might have to repeat the year right?
Oh no, you Report-Card Girl, all about reports. I'm sure your life's report-card is just one basic thing.
Looks like she can't talk back.
Well, we are on a different level when it comes to brains.
What makes one important is indeed intelligence.
Boss, can I point something out?
What?
Should it not be Record Card(=of grades) instead of record-card(=of correspondence)?
If you call it "report-card"(=of correspondence) in high school, they will think you are stupid!
Tamiya, you better fail!
Do these for tomorrow.
What's up?
Enough! I'm done here! I don't care if I am stuck at seventeen forever!
What are you fussing about?
Whose fault do you think is this, you sadist! No way I'm going to your house today!
"To your house"..?
I'm going home to sleep!
Home to sleep?
That's a sexual meaning!
Wait, Nika! Where are you going?
Back home! I don't care what anyone says I'm going to sleep!
No way, no way, no way...
...there is no key!
That reminds me, this morning...
[ Mom and Dad's love nest ]
You are alone tonight, so don't forget your keys.
Am I?
I told you already, we are going to the Kinugawa hot spring resort to spice things up between us, like when we were newlyweds.
And Sis?
She is out on a mixer with baseball players until morning.
What if I will be dragged into a game of love?
"Rika won't you be my batter of love? Look I'm flushing!
I know, shall I take my glove...nah, it's OK.
They are just smelly baseball players after all. I'm off!
I have to go to school too!
I forgot the keys, and I'm locked out!
Please let me in for the night.
How and who said today that they would be asleep at home?
Don't be so cold...
...please forgive me!
Double it.
I will definitely make you pass, so tonight we have to work twice as hard!
Alright.
If I really think about it, everything he does is for my sake to learn.
What's wrong?
Despite that I wanted to escape just because it was a little intense.
I will do my best.
I won't cry either. I will do my best to advance into third year with everyone.
Yeah.
Why are you helping me?
There is no particular reason.
Think of it as thanks.
What for?
For the food.
Come on, carry on.
Look at that, you can if you want.
I am not just a granny.
This...
...you made it all?
What from?
Just whatever was in the fridge.
Despite what you appear to be, you are full of surprises.
Think of it as thanks for helping me.
Not that this is sufficient enough.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
What is it? Tell me!
Nothing, I told you.
What?
That reminds me, what is this picture?
Stop it!
A photo of your girlfriend?
I told you to stop!
I told you before, I don't have a mother.
She left with some man when I was in junior high school.
She left my father and me.
Dad was always away on business trips,
...so when my mother left, ever since then,
...I have been alone all the time.
That's why it was so much fun having a meal with your family.
Delicious.
If this is good, I will make it anytime.
At night, and morning, let's eat together all the time!
So, so that...
Let's start.
Thanks for the food!
I never realised, that I always took a lively dining table for granted,
This is tasty too.
I'm glad.
...and I never appreciated how blessed I was to have it until now.
Is it really fine to sleep over?
If your dad comes back...
He is away on a trip again, so he won't.
No father?
What should I do in such a situation?
Oh no, I am getting nervous.
You can take a bath first.
What follows is Kamiya not being able to hide his excitement when he sees me in the shower,
...so pretending to be calm, but the beast in his heart will again escape when he imagines me naked.
The wet hair and the smell of shampoo will be a complete destruction to his composure.
Then begins the contest of man and woman, which is only ruled by scents,
...oh no, my heart rate is now 200 and my hands won't stop shaking.
Would it be better to be naked under a bath towel?
Or is that too much? Which is it? Which one?
I ended up wearing the clothes. But they smell like him.
I'm done.
Are you asleep?
Is he really asleep?
He is always full of insults, yet his sleeping face is childlike.
I will kiss you,
...I will!
I will kiss you,
...for sure, I will.
Shall I skip it today?
I will steal one when he is awake.
Right, Arata?
[ Mid-term exam ] [ Maths ]
Begin.
This question, is the same as he predicted!
I've got it.
[ Physics ]
Begin.
I can't stop being merry!
[ English ]
Start!
Begin!
[ modern Japanese ]
[ history of Japan ]
Begin!
Quick before I forget!
I, along with the test, was taking on turns of ups and downs, until...
[ Classics ]
End!
It's over!
Did you do it?
Sure thing!
I say, but it's certain I failed three.
But apart from that, I think it's safe.
I see.
Was Arata worried about me?
Let's go to Shibuya today and have some chill out time on the way back!
I'll take care of lunch!
I guess it's OK, since the test is over.
Really?
Yeah.
I know her! She is in this month's "Seventeen"! Tamiya Nika from Syuuei.
Soo cute!
It's a date! Our first date!
This wasn't the plan!
Why are you angry?
Why would I have to tag along for underwear shopping, I don't want to!
Isn't it fine, I found this sale by chance!
I told you I don't want to!
I will wait you outside, do it alone.
Tamiya Nika,
...is that girlfriend of yours, right?
She is pretty famous as a student, so I know her name.
She is indeed cute in real, lucky you.
It's not like we're dating.
Is that so?
So Nika is free?
Truth is I've got a woman, but..
...we are only just doing that.
Perhaps so are you?
Don't get serious, I'm joking.
I'll take it.
Does he like pink?
There might be a time in the future when Arata sees it.
I will take this one.
What happened Miss?
Could you please come to the office?
What's this? I don't know what's this!
We will listen to the details inside.
Please take her.
Wait, let go of me!
Arata, help me!
She is not here...
I did not do it.
Then why was it in your bag?
Like I know!
Accidentally fell into it?
Right, accidentally?
Where it accidentally fell, was your bag, also accidentally.
Mysterious accident isn't it!
Believe me!
Shoplifting is a crime, there is no way I would accept such excuse!
I'm calling the school, so tell me the contact details.
It's not mine. I don't do shoplifting.
All shoplifters say that.
What should I do? She doesn't believe me.
What?
I have no motive for stealing this underwear.
What are you doing?
What's wrong with you?
That's because this bra is the wrong size.
This is size 80 B cup.
My size is 65 D cup!
The breast is sticking out and the bottom is baggy.
Even if I steal it I cannot wear it!
Why are you in a bra, dress up!
Tamiya!
Why are you undressed?
Why are you here?
Who are you?
I have something to say about the stealing.
Something?
Who is she?
She didn't do it!
I saw her in a magazine, so when I spotted her in the shop I thought "how cute" and kept on looking at her all the time.
She did not shoplift.
She didn't!
Oh, my saviour!
You have saved me! Thank you!
I admire you, so I'm happy I could help!
Ah admiring me? You are so sweet!
I am Kizaki Meika, first year at the Shibuya Minami school.
Meika, thank you so much!
My pleasure!
But you are so lucky, having a charming boyfriend!
Boyfriend?
Arata!
When you were not around, he was looking for you with such a worried face!
Hey, let's go!
Bye bye.
You were worried about me right?
Not really.
Don't be shy!
I'm not!
Tamiya Nika,
...I look forward to tomorrow.
Isn't this our school's student?
What happened?
[ Syuuei's female high-school student ] Daytime shoplift strife!
[ Not even a fragment of character, does this female student have no shyness? Just in a bra in front of a shop assistant!! ] "I did not do it"
What's this?
When drinking something...
...it's more delicious without a cup.
When eating Ramen...
...eat from the pan.
Under the bed...
...unknown items are.
When the shampoo is almost gone...
...you follow this procedure.
When your skin is dry,
...you transport oil from your T-zone.
When you take care of your business outside...
...you deodorise your own butt.
During shopping,
...you reserve items at the moment of price reduction.
When sampling food,
...you escape without buying it by pretending to call your parents.
