Claire-chan Pet Diary ch3

Geez~
It's gotten messy again...
Hm? What's this?

Mitsuka~ You got a moment?

Give me a sec, Claire.
?
What are you doing?

Filming a video
of a rhinocerose beetle pairing.

!?

Hey!? What are you doing!?
Posting on social media.

See?
Hye!?

You can't post that uncensored!!
That's your issue!?

Never mind me. What's up?
Ah.
That's right!

Were you a Hercules beetle too!?
...Huh?
I found this in your room...

It's a rhinoceros beetle's horn, right!?
This thing.

It looks just like a rhinoceros beetle's horn,
so I figured one of this size would only belong to you, Mitsuka!
It's a pretty color,
but did it come off?

Were you a rhinoceros beetle
just like me!?

I-I'll explain things this evening!!
I gotta get to work!!
Eh? Ah.
Take care...?

What about this horn?
Just put it away for now!

And don't play with it!
Okay...

What was her problem? Did I upset her...?
Hm?

U-...
Uwaaaaah!?

There's no way Claire would understand...
How should I explain it to her...

!
Should I give her a practical lesson...?

Hey, Boss.
You got a moment?
Yes!?

My son wants a caucasian beetle,
but I don't know which is which.
Understood!

I'll introduce its similar looking friends while I'm at it.
Yay!

This is a caucasian rhinoceros beetle.
Heh~

This is an atlus rhinoceros beetle.

And this is a Moellenkampi beetle.

Aren't they all the same!?
So cool!!
They're completely different!
Look closely!

It's another hot day.
Ah, Mitsuka!

p10

Working hard, I see<3

I should make her a feast today!
Ah!
I need to buy some alcohol too!

p11

I'd better do the laundry first...
Ah!
Mitsuka left her stockings lying around a-...

gain...

I'm beat~...
Claire, I'm home~...

Huh?
Claire?

Claire!

p13

!?
Those are my stockings...

I got drunk and stepped on a banana yesterday
and just left them lying there...
Yay~...
Crap. Stepped on a banana.
It ended up like a banana trap*...

No, this is...! You're mistaken!
Fufu... Mistaken about what exactly~?

Claire~?
Give it a rest!!

*An insect-collecting trap that lures in rhinoceros beetles with the scent of fermented banana.

p14

Stop that! Let me go!!
It's embarrassing...

It's normal for rhinoceros beetles
to be drawn in by scents.

p15

The reason you're embarrassed, Claire,
is because you have a human heart.
But having a beetle's instincts is also a part of who you are.

I love that side of you too.
Mitsuka...

Fufu.
Your pink bug eyes are pretty<3

So there's no need to be embarrassed.
At the very least, not in front of me...

p16

...
Yeah...<3

Dinner's ready~
Yay<3 Thanks for the food~

p17

...Eat it yourself~
Ahn~<3

Geez~...
You need to get it together
so that you can live without me around!

Eh!?

p18

No, no, no!!
I don't wanna be without you, Claire!!
Waaaaaaaaaaaah

...Is she a kid?

I'm not going anywhere~
Really...?
Really really!

p19

You know what?
I think I'll have you spoil me too, Mitsuka!
Eh...?

Feed me this!

Licky Licky Rhinoceros Beetle
Banana Flavored - Amino acids - Protein
Feed it by hand!

The latest insect jelly product, "Licky Licky Rhinoceros Beetle"!

It's food that you feed me by hand!
H-Heh, that's amazing...

Well then,
thank you for the food♪

p21

...Ho-

Hohyo~
~<3<3

What is this!? It's too good!!
I'll do this everyday~<3

Hah...
Hah...

p22

HENTAI!!
Hentai:
The process of insects growing and changing their fome.
A person who is sexually warped. A pervert.

At this moment, her life
flashed before her eyes.

p23

Look, Mama!
A rhinoceros beetle!
Amazing! That's a big one!
You're good at catching bugs, Mitsuka.

Mitsuka... Insects are naturally drawn
to the nectar of flowers.
I'm sure lots of people will gather around you too.

Treasure the people around you, okay?
Yeah!

I've been
keeping people at a distance.

Mama...
I'm sorry...

p24

...ka.
Mitsuka!

!
Are you okay? Sorry...

Thank you,
Claire.

Ah!
So about that horn from this morning...
A-Ah...
About that...
