Raised by an Alien Owner

What does it take to be a good human pet? The teachers at the Starlight Launch Camp look at the unfortunate boys and girls before them and earnestly explain, “You should be quiet, well-behaved, and obedient. Do whatever you can manage, and don’t give your owners any trouble...” But Jiang Keke doesn’t agree. “Come on, we’re noble pet masters! We should test our owners’ limits first, then keep dancing right on the edge, bother them as much as possible, drain their wallets, and make them hold us up high so we can lord it over them!” “But...” A companion raises a hand and asks timidly, “Aren’t you afraid your owner will get angry and neglect you if you do that...?” “That’s why giving them the occasional reward is important, too! You have to watch what your owner likes and give them a little taste of sweetness now and then, so they realize their efforts pay off. Of course, don’t do it too often, or it won’t be worth anything. Anemonians may look different from us, but deep down they’re just like people from Blue Star: they’re born to be suckers. If you’re always chasing after them and fawning over them, they might not value you much. If you ignore them most of the time and only occasionally show them some kindness, they’ll pour their whole heart into you! You’ve raised a cat before, right? What we need to do is...” “Um...” “Hmm? What is it... Is there something behind me?” (She turns around.) Glosk: (smiles) Jiang Keke: !!! (bristles) *The story alternates between the male and female leads’ perspectives. A lighthearted short read. *The heroine’s ABB-style name is so that the silly aliens can name her after the way it sounds (Coco). Theme: Adapt to your surroundings and love life
