Synopsis

Long Summary
Inui's mother informs Inui that she has aquarium tickets that are valid until Sunday and suggests that he and Mika go there. Mika immediately refuses to go, stating that going anywhere with her brother is gross. Inui's mother looks at Inui with pity, asking him if he even has anyone else to invite. At school, Inui glooms over his loneliness but is holding the tickets that his mother gave him. Nekota takes the tickets from his hand and asks if he is going with someone to the aquarium. She asks if he is planning to ask the girl from the nursery room, referring to Ryuu with a wig on. Inui becomes flustered and denies wanting to invite her. Nekota blushes and starts to say that if he has no one to invite, he can invite her since she pities him, but Inui has already walked out of the room, angering Nekota. Inui is surprised to see that he has ended up at the daycare room. Ryuu greets him which shocks him. Inui wonders why there are no loud noises, and Ryuu explains that the kids are currently napping. Inui feels rather calmed seeing the usually rowdy children being quiet. Ryuu inquires why Inui is here, and Inui presents him the two aquarium tickets, saying that he and Kotaro can go. He thinks to himself that it is better if the two of them go. Ryuu smiles and says that since this is such a rare opportunity, Inui should come with them. Inui starts to blush and become flustered. Ryuu says that the three of them can go even though there are only two tickets since Kotaro could probably enter for free. He apologizes if it is an inconvenience while Inui pictures Ryuu with a wig saying cute phrases. He nervously asks Ryuu if he is free on Sunday, to which Ryuu agrees. Kotaro wakes up, and Ryuu shows him the tickets. He excitedly tells him that they will be going to the aquarium on Sunday. Kotaro's eyes sparkle and he gathers his books about fish and puts them in his backpack. He waits at the door, ready to go see the fish, but Ryuu informs him that they are going Sunday. Taka wakes up and sees that Kotaro is going to the aquarium. He becomes jealous and cries in his brother's arms, exclaiming that he wants to see the fish as well. Inui looks up information about aquarium dates on his phone while persuading himself that this is not a date. He is in the middle of class, so his teacher calls him out. The next day, Kotaro is ready to go to the aquarium, but Ryuu explains that he will have to wait one more day. Inui waits for the two and sees Kotaro running up to him. He trips and falls, causing Inui to swiftly pick him up. As he stands up, he sees a girl's legs and skirt and thinks that Ryuu is dressed as a girl. Inui continues to picture Ryuu in female clothing while giving Kotaro back to Ryuu. Kotaro eagerly looks at the different fishes, and Inui notices that there are several couples at the aquarium. Ryuu tells Kotaro to thank Inui for inviting them, so Kotaro holds onto Inui's leg as he calls him "senpai" and thanks him.

Inui puts Kotaro on his shoulders so he can see the fishes better, and the three look at a stingray swimming towards them. Inui starts saying a few facts about stingrays, causing Ryuu to stare at him. Ryuu says that Inui is quite knowledgeable. He also admits that he thought he was dragging Inui along and forcing him to come, but Inui is actually good at taking care of others. Inui becomes flustered and quickly gives Kotaro back to Ryuu, stating that he is not particularly good at taking care of children. He says that he was simply curious about the two of them. He turns to go onto the next exhibit and sees Tamako. Frightened, he jumps onto Ryuu. Nekota, who is carrying Tamako, tells her to stop staring. Inui asks why the two of them are here at the aquarium, to which Nekota explains that Tamako coincidentally wanted to go to the aquarium that day too. Nekota tells Inui that if he really wanted to go with a friend to the aquarium, he could have just invited her along. Inui replies that he does not want to carelessly invite a girl out, especially if it will only be the two of them. Tamako impatiently notifies Nekota, who brings her onto the next exhibit. Tamako holds hands with Kotaro as the two look at the fishes.

At the end of the day, Inui hands Ryuu a souvenir: two cute stingray keychains. Nekota asks where her and Tamako's souvenirs are, but Inui says that Tamako already has a stuffed eel toy. Ryuu thinks to himself that the day was very fulfilling.
