1. A storage case that is configured to store a fusion splicer that splices optical fibers by heat melting and an optical fiber cutter that cuts an optical fiber together, and also serves as a work tray, the storage case comprising:
a fusion splicer accommodating portion configured to store the fusion splicer, the fusion splicer accommodating portion including a first placement surface configured to fix a bottom surface of the fusion splicer,
an optical fiber cutter accommodating portion configured to store the optical fiber cutter, the optical fiber cutter accommodation portion being disposed side by side with the fusion splicer accommodating portion in a direction along the first placement surface;
an optical fiber cutter holder that has a second placement surface configured to fix a bottom surface of the optical fiber cutter, and is supported to be rotatable around a rotating shaft separated from a plane including the first placement surface;
a support portion that is disposed between the fusion splicer accommodating portion and the optical fiber cutter accommodating portion in the direction along the first placement surface, and is in contact with the optical fiber cutter holder which has rotated such that an angle formed by a line normal to the first placement surface and a line normal to the second placement surface is an acute angle, to support the optical fiber cutter holder;
a base that forms a part of the fusion splicer accommodating portion including the first placement surface, and opens in a normal direction of the first placement surface; and
a lid that is connected to the base to block an opening of the base and to be openable and closeable with respect to the base, forms a remaining part of the fusion splicer accommodating portion, and includes the optical fiber cutter accommodating portion.
