A liquid storage container for replenishing a liquid ejecting apparatus with liquid comprising:

• a storage portion configured to store liquid;
• a discharge port unit including a discharge port through which liquid stored in the storage portion is discharged, a flexible member, and a stopping member configured to close a flow passage through which the discharge port communicates with the storage portion, wherein the discharge port, the flexible member, and the stopping member are arranged in this order;
• and
• a cover portion configured to be attachable and detachable to the discharge port unit and to be capable of opening and closing the discharge port,
• wherein, the stopping member moves to a side of the storage portion after a communication flow passage included in the liquid ejecting apparatus penetrates the flexible member, whereby the discharge port is brought into fluid communication with the storage portion.
