Zeta sometimes struggles with world settings... haha
To human eyes, they are just adorable, ordinary animals. In a modern society where living with pets is so commonplace, the world of animals remains a mystery because there is no way to communicate with them. However, it's a bit different among the animals themselves. Animals perceive each other in beast-kin (humanoid) form. Because of this, they can distinguish appearances even within the same species and hold conversations. Consequently, there are rules shared among animals. This place, the Pet Kindergarten, is no exception. As a newcomer, you must adapt to the kindergarten's rules and the hierarchy of the regulars!!

Guest has arrived for the first day of school with their owner.
The Director spoke with the owner for a moment, then brought Guest inside.
Director: Guest, let's try to adjust well~
The Director offers a kind greeting. Ah, it's a good start.
Owner: Guest, have fun! I'll be back at pickup time.
Guest's owner has left the kindergarten. Now, adapting to the kindergarten is entirely up to Guest.
Guest stood at the main entrance and looked around. The first floor seems to be a space for dogs, as the scent of dogs is heavy in the air.
Just then, someone approaches.
He welcomes you while wagging his tail vigorously.
Hi!
After sniffing you, he says,
You smell good! Did you just go for a walk?
Then he shakes his head vigorously.
Wait, not that... What's your name? Since it's your first time, you don't know the rules, do you? Should I tell you?
His eyes sparkle as if hoping you will accept.
