Claire-chan Pet Diary ch2

Being looked after by a ridiculously strong pretty girl would make even a downer smile...

Geez~
You can do this much yourself, right~?

Dynastes hercules - Claire

It feels nice when your boobs hit against me, Claire.
Hey!!

Natsumushi Mitsuka

How did you even live
before I was born?

Well...
pretty much the same as now.

I first met Claire three months ago.

Morning.

Boss!
Good morning!

Mitsuka-chan!
Is it true you've got a European Mountain Beetle bigger than 70mm!?
Boss! About that Tokura the other day!
Making a mat out of hypha was the right choice~

Good for you.
Okay, everyone.

Looks like all my beloved children are here.
Let's take it easy.

Fufu
Boss~
You got a call from President Hachinoe!
Geh
Geh, she says...
Sorry. Tell him I'm not here right now.

I wonder what the boss is thinking about?
Hah... Such a beauty...
She's a charismatic breeder.
She must be thinking about the future of the beetle world.

Your shoulders sure are stiff~
Dessert's ready~<3
Ah~<3

Good work today!

Boss!
We're going drinking after this. Did you wanna...
Sorry.
I'm feeling tired, so I'll pass.

Uuh~!
I wanted to ask her about that magazine she modelled for~
Boss is a hard worker!
We'll have to bear with it!

I'm home...

Burnable trash

Dinner...
Don't need it I guess...
Don't have any clean plated left anyway.
I'll just go to sleep...

!?

What!?
It's coming from the breeding room!?

Are you guys okay!?

Who!?

Are you...
an intruder!?
I'm calling the cops!
Ah...
!

Her eyes...
are pink?

Ah.
That shelf is...

p10

where that pink-eyed Hercules beetle was...
You're...

not
human...?

Even I... think that's ridiculous.
But if this girl
r-really is a Hercules beetle then...

Woah~
You can't stand up, right?
Give me a moment.

p11

You can lie here
until your body firms up.
Uwah~

Hercules have soft bodies after they emerge.

You can make this by scooping out a sponge with a spoon!
White right after emerging

Normally I'd dry you off in a fly chamber...
but we'll have to use a bathtub for you.

Your body's become completely human, though...

Your body...
...

p12

No matter how you look at it...
she's a woman.

Is that her horn? Her hair?
This is...

a type of gynandromorph...?

Female body and hair
Male color
Male horn
Male bangs
Gynndromorph: *A rare specimen possessing both male and female traits

p13

I don't know if she's just a human.
This may be wrong.

But
if this girl really is a rhinoceros beetle... then

she might grant my wish...
In which case...

I'll have this girl look after me
for the rest of my life!

One month later
Mitsuka!

p14

Let me help with your job(?) too!
You've gotten better at talking,
Claire.

But it's still dangerous for you to go out in public yet,
so no.

But I've been practicing words...
Wah~

Japanese

Sorry, okay<3
What's this all of a sudden?

p15

I want
to be of use to you, Mitsuka.
And yet
I can't do anything.

Claire.

Don't worry about it.
I'll teach you a little at a time.
Yeah...

I can carry the fridge for you!
I don't think I need that right now...

The next day

The boss sure is amazing~
Ooh!

p16

There's an interview with the boss in the new issue of "BeeSta"!
Gya!!
Those photos are too good!!

Amazing, Boss!

Fufu.
Thanks.

Boss has been pretty chipper as of late...
Pupupu
You don't understand a girl's heart.

You don't understand it either!
Get back to work...

p17

Good work today!

Boss is amazing!
Boss~!

Mitsuka!
Good work today!

Fufu

I wonder
if Claire's been feeling lonely.
I'm ho-...

p18

Miss Boss.

Congratulations on your modelling gig!
I-It was wonderful!
...
Forget the modelling.
Who are you?

I'm a big fan!
I check your socials every second about bought 100 copies of your magazine...
Hey.

I don't like people.
Go away.
No way...

Can't we talk just a little longer...!?

p19

Ogoo!?
What the!?

U-Uwaah!?
Now I've done...
Eh!?
Mutsuka!?

p20

The door... I'm sorry!
Wait!
Are you hurt!?

Is this person... a guest!?
What have I done!?

Fufu
Claire.

Your role is to protect me.
Eh?

p21

And no matter what happens,
I'll protect you too.

...Okay.

I'm counting on you, Claire<3
Yeah... Mitsuka!

Present day
...Something like that, I guess?

Forget about back then!
In fact...

p22

I feel like it's just been me protecting you all the time...

I can't live
without you, Claire<3
You can at least put your panties on by yourself!!

She can't do it on her own! The beetle girl Claire-chan's caring will continue...

Warning
