These Little Furballs Are Actually Big Shots?!

Lu Lu, a professional animal keeper, never imagined he would transmigrate to an interstellar beastfolk era.

The good news: He's awakened some kind of healing ability.

The bad news: He's now an obscure, D-list celebrity, hated all over the internet for riding on other people's coattails.

Passing by a wall covered in flyers, Lu Lu learns that the military academy's animal care center is hiring keepers.

...Beastfolk cubs should be more or less like animals, right?

With a slap on the backside, Lu Lu quits showbiz and applies for the job.

The military academy's animal care center is full of violent little monsters. Apparently they're the beast spirits of retired bigwigs.

Their injuries are too severe to heal, so they can't return to their original bodies and occasionally go berserk. They've already injured eighteen keepers.

But the new keeper is handsome and speaks gently.

He even makes toys for them and shapes their boring meals into adorable little bunnies!

The handsome keeper carefully brushes the fur of a little white-maned lion with a broken leg, smoothing out all the knots.

The little lion purrs in comfort.

Far away on the capital planet, the Imperial Marshal's cheeks turn red. A soft, ticklish sensation passes over his tail.

The little tiger cub, missing an ear, is aloof. He used to bare his teeth whenever a keeper came near.

The handsome keeper gently scratches under his chin, and the cub goes from stiff and awkward to rolling over and showing his belly for a rub.

Lu Lu: What cat doesn't like having its chin scratched?

The cubs at the care center love crowding around the handsome keeper.

Something about him calms them and keeps them from going berserk. They seem to sense a healing power coming from him...

...Wait a second. How did he actually heal them?

The lion cub's broken hind leg can suddenly support him, and the tiger cub's missing ear has suddenly grown back.

All the other cubs are getting better too?!

A livestream suddenly appears on the interstellar internet. People click in and discover that it's Lu Lu, the obscure celebrity who quit showbiz.

"I'm dying. Lu Lu's become a streamer."

"Come on. Can disgraced celebrities just make a comeback whenever they want?"

But as they watch, something starts to seem off...

This fluffy livestream is so warm and wholesome!

Wait, aren't these the beast spirits of retired bigwigs? Everyone says they go berserk and wreck the academy's animal care center after being injured and regressing.

Why are they now as docile as kittens?

The handsome face of the usually stern chief scientist appears on the livestream. His cheeks are slightly flushed. "Teacher Lu, could you scratch Tiger's chin a little more? He, um, really likes it."

Lu Lu, confused: ...How do you know he likes it so much?

The Imperial Marshal, hailed as the light of the empire, powerful in combat but temporarily retired due to injury, clears his throat. "Thank you for taking care of Lion. But please rub his tail for ten more minutes every day. It will help him recover."

Lu Lu: ...?

Viewers: Come on! Isn't that your beast spirit? What kind of excuse are you making up?!

#How did an obscure celebrity who quit showbiz become the darlings of the bigwigs?

#How did the long-disabled beast spirits of the bigwigs suddenly all get better?

#"Rubbing his tail helps him recover"... That's really hard to explain
