Claire-chan's Pet Diary: Being Cared For By a Beetle Girl ch1

The rhinoceros beetle I was raising

...Huh?

turned into a human.
?

Good work today!
How about we go for a drink after this, boss?
I'll have to pass.

Natsumushi Mitsuka

Figured she wouldn't come~
The boss has been going home
early these days.

Boyfriend, perhaps?
Eh!?
She's not even interested in people!

She's good at her job,
but you can never tell what she's thinking...

I'm home...

Welcome back,
Mitsuka.
Dinner's ready!

Thanks for everything,
Claire.

Ever since I was little,
I've loved rhinoceros beetles.

I love watching them mate~<3

Mufuu~
Woooah!!

I'd catch a lot of them,
make them give birth
and raise them.

As I became an adult, their numbers grew.
From mainly Hercules beetles
to even foreign breeds...

And one of those rhinoceros beetles
turned into a human...

Right now,
she's taking care of me<3

Mitsuka...
Eat your dinner already!
...
Don't ignore me. It's bugging me.
Cos you're a bug?

I can't. I'm just a widdle baby~
Feed me<3

I won't!
I've decided!

I'm not going
to spoil you, Mitsuka!
Dynastes hercules - Claire

Oh come on~
It's for your own good!
Your way of life is way too lazy!

Hmm... Are you sure?
I even got you a souvenir~

High quality black honey.
I got it from a specialist.

Black honey... high quality...

No!
I won't be deceived!
I wasn't trying to deceive you. lol

Well, whatever.
We're having hamburg steaks today.
Yay! Looks delicious~<3

And to finish it off...

Jelly sap - I love it!

a lashing of sap♪
STOOOOP!!

But it's so good~...
It's not really my thing...
Thanks, though.
I need to teach her
about humans some more...

Mitsuka, here's some wat-...

Wah!
Are you okay!?

I'm sorry. I couldn't control my strength...
It's fine.
It's just a glass...

p10

You broke down the front door the other day,
so your control's getting better!
You even managed to repel a suspicious man.

Yeah...

Ah! That's right!
You bought my booze, right?

O-Of course!
It's cooling in the cold thingy...

p11

Wait...
It's not there!?
Oh?

Ah.
I forgot to buy it. On the way home...

Take that!
Gyahaha!
Hey!
Don't bully that bug!

What's your problem!?

Rather than bullying
such a weak thing...

you'll be much cooler if you're kind.
!

p12

I-I guess that's fine...
Good boy!

And then I went home
and forgot all about the shopping...
Sorry...
I wish she'd do that to me too...

Still, Claire,
you did a good thing.
You're amazing.

...

p13

I'm neither bug nor human, so even if you tell me that,
I don't feel convinced...

Claire...
What do you think is the most important thing
about rhinoceros beetle breeds?
Eh?

p14

It's their size!
Uwah!?

Look at the size of these!
Hey!
As expected of the great hercules beetle
that I raised myself!!

p15

The thickness of your horns, their color...
they're just the cherry on the cake!
Y-You don't need to praise me that much...
So she likes being praised for her size, huh...

You're my PB-breaking child
of 181.4mm!

It doesn't matter whether you're a human or a bug.
You're my precious family...

p16

Black honey<3

Geez~ You've got it all over your mouth...
...!

What's wrong?
It's rare to see you flustered...

Pressing your lips against someone else's
is a sacred ritual for humans...
Eh!?

p17

It's the first step towards sexual activities,
which specimens who love each other due to reproduce...

Mating

If I had to exaggerate.

Let's go!!

That was my first time~
Wawawah!
What have I done...?
How should I atone for this...!?

In that case,
if you sleep with me tonight,
I'll forgive you<3

p18

No way.
Oh? What's this...?

Why's that~?
I-It'd be bad if I injured you while sleeping!

A hug then!
Wah!!
Geez~
Alright, alright!

p19

This is what calms me down the most<3
Why do you want to be spoiled so badly?

You're my child, my little sister and mama all rolled into one, Claire.
Eh?
That's scary...
Mama?

It's not scary!
Wah!

Do you hate me, Claire~?

p20

I
like you.

p21

Now then! I'd better get to eating dinner!
So suddenly!?

I'll eat too...
I've prepared the usual for you.

Yay<3

Claire's personal sap

Well then...

p22

Time to dig in<3

Sap is so delicious!
Good for you...

p23

I wonder what would happen if I slapped that sap
all over my mouth?

Ah.
I've got an idea.

Thanks for the food!
Claire!

You wanna eat more, right?
I've had plenty...
!

Wh-What is this?
When I look at Mitsuka...
I find myself...

p24

wanting to lick...
Hah<3 Hah<3

Sap

!?

Hey!?
What are you doing!?
Go ahead... Claire<3
Go take a bath!!

Warning
