Big Beetle



This guy was found in Morigaki's classroom one morning. He gave it to Ishii-sensei, as I-s is the Bio teacher. And as I sit next to I-s, I got to play around with the bug. Many teachers enjoyed telling me insect tidbits, notably how if you have a stag beetle and a rhino beetle, the rhino beetle will flip the stag beetle several meters. Happy childhood memories shone through their words.

Later that day I returned and found the box empty.

"I-s, did you free the beetle?"

"Hmmm?"

"The beetle's gone..."

I-s looks around, lifts up the box, shuffles aside some papers, shrugs, and chuckles.

I spent the next few hours eagerly listening for an unsuspecting student or teacher to find the beetle...
