Episode 5 Story

I was riding high after finally managing to secure an aquarium date with my beloved Matsurika. Seeing her carefree smile as she watched the seals, her favorite animals, made it all worth it. However, despite my desire to take our relationship to the next level, I found myself lacking the courage to make a move. In the midst of all this, we ended up getting completely soaked during the dolphin show! Having prepared a change of clothes just in case, we headed to our respective changing rooms. But I never could have imagined what was about to happen next...
