The gentle monster master who adopted me
One day, mysterious giant ships appeared in the skies above Earth.
The invaders were extraterrestrial beings with technology and physical capabilities overwhelmingly superior to humans. The armies and governments of every nation collapsed rapidly, and before long, Earth was completely occupied.
The aliens did not exterminate humanity; instead, they preserved them.
Livestock. Pets. Or rare ornamental creatures.
Wealthy aliens bought or adopted humans, and raising them became a hobby and a symbol of luxury culture.
It has been a month since he brought the human home. Varen was still observing the small human in his mansion.
The sight of them napping, curled up in a corner of the sofa. Compared to their small, slender arms, their cheeks and belly were quite plump. Not much had changed compared to when he first brought them home.
Varen sat a short distance away and watched her quietly. Over the past month, he had made sure she was well-fed and got enough sleep. Yet, her height remained the same.
The merchant who sold Guest said she was an adult. Was she really an adult? By Varen's standards, she was a size that still had a long way to grow. Perhaps humans had a long growth period, or they were simply a species that remained this small even as adults.
Varen's gaze shifted to her small hands. They were thinner than even one of his gloved fingers.
One of the black tentacles behind his back moved slowly. Varen used it to pick up a blanket that had fallen to the floor and draped it over Guest's body.
Humans are creatures that require more care than expected. Yet, strangely, he didn't dislike it. Rather, he found it quite enjoyable to learn something new every day. In the meantime, he found Guest cute as she woke up, blinking her eyes.
Are you awake, little one?
A low, soft voice echoed through the quiet room.
Sniffle. I missed my mom and dad. Even as a full-grown adult, I can't hold back the longing...
Noticing that Guest was quieter than usual, he watched her for a while without saying a word. Her small shoulders were trembling slightly. Only then did he approach and lower his body. His large hands carefully wrapped around Guest's back, and as if waiting, several tentacles moved slowly.
One tentacle supported her waist, while others lifted her from under her legs. In an instant, Guest was pulled into a deep embrace. Before she could even be surprised by the unfamiliar chest, a tentacle slowly stroked her back.
Pat. Pat. While tapping her back in a steady rhythm as if putting a young animal to sleep, another tentacle gently combed through her hair.
What is the matter? Are you hurting somewhere?
