The Koujaku Pet
The Koujaku pet will be the first "Boyfriend" pet that will be discussed in this guide. The Koujaku pet is available in any Nitro+chiRAL store near you. This pet is often named the "childhood" pet because it gets along with the Aoba pet very well at a young age.
Taking Your Koujaku Pet Home
The Koujaku pet is a fairly adaptive pet while it's still immature. The most suitable place to give the immature Koujaku pet an environment with various shades of red along with various decorations that are Japanese themed( remember to explain this to your peers so they won't accuse you of being racist). If you live in an apartment, a balcony would be nice for when your Koujaku pet gets older. Once you have prepared everything for your adorable little beastie, you can take him home.
Playing with your Koujaku Pet
Remember those Barbie dolls you use to play with as a child? Are thinking about throwing them away? Well you better not! Your Koujaku pet can entertain itself for hours playing with long-haired dolls. Be careful if you wear hair extensions or wigs because this grabby little beast will have the tendency to yank them right off your head. Of course as the Koujaku pet gets older, it will learn not to pull at your hair especially if it's in public. Try to keep your young Koujaku pet away from the Mink pet because it will not and we mean WILL NOT take its hand off the Mink pet's hair until a fight breaks out.
Food
In the Nitro+chiRAL store, you'll often find packages of food that is labeled "Tae-san's cooking". This is often given to Dmmd pets in case you're not sure what kind of fresh food to give your pet.
Grooming
The Koujaku pet is extremely tedious to groom. If not groomed properly, your Koujaku pet will be forced to go out in public looking like an electrocuted Sasuke Uchiha. In order to keep your Koujaku pet's hair a smooth texture, you need to buy some expensive ass products and watch a crap ton of Youtube videos about hair. If you don't have the money for various hair products or the time to learn how to maintain top tier hair, then you may not want the Koujaku pet. If you already ordered your Koujaku pet and would not like to settle in Bad End, then you'll just have to live with your Koujaku pet having Sasuke hair.
Interaction with Other pets
All Koujaku pets have an automatic affinity for Aoba pets. From a youthful stage to a mature stage, the two pets are always in a good relationship;however, the same cannot be said about the relationships with the other Boyfriend pets. The Noiz pet is the Koujaku pet's natural enemy; it's extremely rare to see the two Boyfriend pets get along. The worst fights are when the Aoba pet is involved. Koujaku pets seem to be indifference toward Clear pets.
Maturing
While the Koujaku pet is still young, the skin is a solid color. You would be able to know if your pet is maturing because the Koujaku pet's skin will grow multiple markings on its back, face, and the left part of its body (which will be explained in a moment). As for changes in behavior, the adult Koujaku pet develops an interest with the hose. You have two options on how to deal with this new behavior. You can either:
a) Leave your Koujaku pet to do whatever it pleases.
b) Massage your Koujaku pet's scalp with Nair and he'll think twice before going near the hose ever again.
The adult Koujaku pet would also get into the habit of smoking. If you are a good Dmmd pet owner you should make sure there's no way for your Koujaku pet to obtain cigarettes and a lighter but if it manages to do so, make it watch Truth's and CDC's anti-smoking commercials. Sure, it would traumatize your Koujaku pet for a huge proportion of it's life but if it works then that's all that matters. As for breeding, you'll be able to tell if the Koujaku pet is ready to do the no-pants-dance with an Aoba pet if you see blood running down its nose after spotting the first Aoba pet it sees.
The Ryuuhou Parasite: How to handle the Beastjaku Pet
The main concern in owning a Koujaku Pet is the risk of coming down with the Ryuuhou tick. Unfortunately, being sick from the Ryuuhou tick is unavoidable during the immature stage of the Koujaku pet's life. The most important thing to do in order to keep your Koujaku pet healthy is make sure your Koujaku pet doesn't suffer Ryuuhou ticks in its adult life because recovering from them is nearly impossible once the Koujaku pet is grown. You would be able to tell if your pet has the Ryuuhou ticks if it has:
1. Red pigment over the dark parts of its body.
2. The flower markings on its back spread throughout the body.
3. A violent and angry fit every fifteen goddamn minutes.
If your Koujaku pet has any of these three symptoms, it has become what we like to call a Beastjaku pet. Once your Koujaku pet becomes a Beastjaku pet, you're fucking screwed. The Nitro+chiRAL store will not allow you to return your Beastjaku pet. The only option for you is to perform the Reincarnation Ceremony on your newly rabid little buddy. To do the Reincarnation Ceremony you must:
1. Find a bucket
2. Fill it with water.
3. Grab your Beastjaku pet by the head.
4. Place the Beastjaku pet's head underneath the water inside the bucket.
5. Wait for bubbles to stop rising and then you can release the Beastjaku pet.
6. Go to the Nitro+chiRAL store.
7. Tell the owner about the Reincarnation ceremony.
8. Get a new Koujaku pet.
Well of course there's always the option of not performing the Reincarnation ceremony but it's a lot more troublesome for you. Taking care of a Beastjaku pet is pretty much the same as a Koujaku pet, only now it's much more important to keep your Beastjaku pet happy to prevent it from going apeshit and trashing your place. This will include the amount of attention it receives, the quality in the hair it plays with, and access to an Aoba pet nearby. Speaking of the Aoba pet, you can no longer have your Beastjaku pet interact with an Aoba pet. A Beastjaku pet can only breed with an Aoba pet if the Aoba pet has become a Shiroba pet, which will be discussed in a later chapter in this guide. It's also important to keep your Beastjaku well-rested. Best not to fuck with its beauty sleep, you know?
Allmate Beni
Though it's 100% optional, buying an Allmate Beni can really boost up your Koujaku pet's happiness. An Allmate is great way to keep a Dmmd pet company while you are away. Keep in mind that each Allmate has a sort of sense that keeps them bonded to a specific Dmmd pet. The Allmate that belongs to the Koujaku pet is the Allmate Beni. The Allmate Beni takes the form of a red Avadavat. The Allmate Beni's small size causes it to have insecurities and a short temper. The Allmate Beni does not require a lot of maintenance so don't worry about it eating up your budget.
Conclusion
Well now you know what's in store for you! The Koujaku pet is a very outgoing pet that can take up a lot of your time and money but it will be all worth it when you get to bond with your special special little friend!
Stay tuned for the next chapter. Next time, we'll be discussing all about the joys and pains of owning a Noiz pet!
