At a party held by the agency, he met a strange girl wearing sunglasses and a mask asking him for a date.

On their first night together, she finally took off her mask and revealed her true identity: Kirari-chan, a beautiful pop idol (and Futa is her biggest fan), who has a secret wish: to get married with a man who doesn't love her beauty, money, or fame—but her true self.
