Dream ♊ 002
"Ahem... Akihiko?" Mitsuru cleared her throat, standing before the boxer, her arms folded. Yukari stood nearby, shifting her weight between her feet awkwardly. "A-as you know, I granted you the option of not assisting Takeba and myself in the preparation of Yamagishi's room, under one condition..."
Akihiko looked up from his seat, his attention leaving the boxing gloves in his hands. "Let me guess... You found a roach, huh?" he said with a bit of a teasing smile. Mitsuru cleared her throat again.
"Takeba found it," she corrected.
"It's enormous, Senpai," Yukari added. Akihiko let out a sigh and set his gloves down on the coffee table, rising up to his feet. Slinging his jacket over his shoulder, he proceeded up the stairs and towards the girls' floor -- Yukari and Mitsuru following in tow.
"Alright. Where is it?" he asked, standing in the doorway of the room. He cast a few quick glances through the room before turning his attention to the two girls.
"In the corner there; on the left near the bookshelf," Mitsuru instructed, vaguely gesturing to the area. A bucket of water and a rag sat near the shelf -- Akihiko could only assume their scrubbing had disturbed a sleeping cockroach on one of the shelves.
Handing his jacket to Mitsuru, the boxer boldly stepped forward and toward the shelf. Yukari let out a small whimper, keeping close to the door frame.
Akihiko examined the shelf, his target quickly sighted--
"...Uh, Mitsuru--"
"Kill it, Senpai!" Yukari calls out.
"Are you going to let it get away? Dispose of it, Akihiko," Mitsuru ordered. Akihiko turns to look at the girls, raising an eyebrow.
"...It's a ladybug."

[When Akihiko awakens, he can't help but let out a bit of a chuckle.]
Heh... Can't believe they had to get me for that...
