Handing his one-day pass to the staff, Miki Kashiwagi walked to the main entrance to meet up with the girls.
Although this aquarium in Ikebukuro wasn't the largest, its variety of marine life was definitely among the most extensive in the Tokyo area. The girls were using a booklet of discount tickets Tomori Takamatsu had saved up over time, which remained valid for a year. Tomori herself even held an annual pass; she accumulated these extra ticket booklets purely in the hope that whenever someone had time to accompany her, they would come in handy if she ever ran short of money.
Tomori was a child who usually seemed like she was well taken care of, but sometimes she was surprisingly lonely.
