Although his girlfriend Moemi desires a dog or a cat, the management of Yukio's apartment building does not allow its residents to keep pets. However, this agreement apparently only mentions certain pets such as our furry friends mentioned above because Yukio soon purchases two turtles for Moemi. Expecting a more warm-blooded companion, Moemi is of course a bit put out, but the young couple makes the best of things. Yukio even goes as far as to drill holes in the back of one turtle's shell so a leash can be put around him. Moemi does not allow the other turtle to be drilled, because she refers to that one as a house pet. A little later Yukio and Moemi take the turtle out for a walk and they seem as happy as any young couple would be walking a turtle. However, things begin to go a bit astray.
