Fuzzball glanced disdainfully at the unimpressive creatures.
With a casual flick of its tail, the surrounding animals began to regain their composure.
Although most of the animals still seemed dazed, that was a minor issue.
"Fuzzball, you're amazing," Kim Haru praised, hugging Fuzzball tightly and kissing it on the head twice in delight when he saw it successfully control its presence.
Nearby, Go Okrim observed Kim Haru's behavior and couldn't help but comment, "Kim Haru-hyung seems a lot livelier now after he reunited with his cat."
It wasn't just Go Okrim who thought so.
The others felt the same way and nodded their heads in agreement.
Kim Haru didn't hear Go Okrim's comment, but Fuzzball did.
It lazily turned its gaze toward Go Okrim.
The look clearly said, So what? My human loves me. Do you have a problem with that?
Fuzzball could detect Kim Haru's scent on Go Okrim, realizing that this human was probably someone close to its owner.
This realization didn't sit well with Fuzzball.
The person Kim Haru should be closest to is me!
It seems that in my absence, some unworthy creatures have been trying to get near him.
It's unacceptable!
I need to re-establish my dominance immediately!
Fuzzball promptly began meowing incessantly at Kim Haru.
At that moment, Kim Haru was listening to Moon Baein and Do Seungjin discussing whether Fuzzball should undergo a comprehensive examination, including its physique and abilities.
Everyone believed that with just a control ability, the cat shouldn't be capable of scaring other animals so thoroughly from such a distance.
While the group hadn't yet decided on the testing methods, Kim Haru heard Fuzzball's persistent calls.
This type of meowing likely meant Fuzzball wanted to go home.
Having just reunited with his beloved cat, Kim Haru was naturally inclined to indulge its every wish.
He also thought it would be good for Fuzzball to see its new home sooner rather than later.
As for the examination, there would be plenty of time for that later.
"I'll take Fuzzball back to the farm first to let it get used to the new environment. Once it's settled, we can do the tests," Kim Haru suggested.
Do Seungjin thought about it and agreed. "That makes sense. Letting Fuzzball familiarize itself with the environment will prevent stress reactions, ensuring more accurate test results. Plus, it'll reduce the risk of anyone getting hurt during the testing process."
After all, they were dealing with abilities.
If the test subject experienced severe stress, the researchers nearby might accidentally get caught in the crossfire.
Do Seungjin's animal research institute had experienced such incidents before.
The others had no objections either.
Soon, Kim Haru and his group returned to the small farm.
When they set out, it was three people and eleven Cryo Wolfs; on their way back, they had gained a cat nestled in Kim Haru's arms.
As they entered the farm's perimeter, Fuzzball, which had been dozing off in Kim Haru's embrace, suddenly became alert.
It's s sharp eyes scanned the surrounding mutated plants who is lying dormant for the winter.
Observing its little movements, Kim Haru could guess the cat's intentions—it wanted to attack the surrounding mutated plants.
That was not acceptable.
Kim Haru immediately restrained Fuzball in his arms. "Fuzzball, you can't just harm the plants here. They're all mutated plants—the kind that can move. They're not the lifeless, clawable kind. You might get hurt if you're not careful."
"Meow~"
Are you doubting my abilities?
Fuzzball became even more determined to fight these mutated plants.
Of course, it knew these plants could move.
If they were ordinary immobile plants, it wouldn't have been interested in picking a fight.
I'm doing this for your sake! Fuzzball thought.
It wasn't worried about itself but was concerned that its human servant (Kim Haru) might be bullied by these mutated plants.
It wanted to establish its dominance to better protect its human.
Kim Haru, unaware of Fuzzball's selfless motives, realized his previous approach to reasoning had failed.
Quickly, he changed tactics. "Fuzzball, these mutated plants are here to protect our home. If you kill them, all kinds of unsavory characters might come here in the future. That would be annoying, right? So, don't fight with them. Let's give them a pass, okay?"
This time, Fuzzball was satisfied.
"Meow~ Meow~"
Exactly. There's no way I'd lose to these creatures. They're just plants that can move. If you'd told me earlier they were part of the team protecting the house, I wouldn't have bothered.
As they entered the farm, Ginseng Spirit and Luna came out to greet them.
And then...
"Meow~ Meow~"
You traitorous servant! It's turns out when you've gone, you have found another cat!
Fuzzball was furious.
Is it prettier than me?
Does it have a better voice than me?
Is it better at fighting than me?
So what if it has two more tails?
My fur is much fluffier.
Even if it has three tails, they can't be compared to the thickness of my one tail!
The sight of Luna had drove Fuzzball into a rage.
With its claws outstretched, it pounced and determined to drive this imposter out of its rightful place.
But in the mid-leap, Kim Haru swiftly caught Fuzzball and pulling it back into his arms.
Understanding his cat's jealous temperament, Kim Haru sighed with a mix of amusement and exasperation. "It's not mine! This cat belongs to Kang Hose. If you don't believe me, you can ask it yourself."
As he spoke, Kim Haru lowered Fuzzball toward Luna but didn't let go entirely.
He kept a firm hold, worried that Fuzzball might lash out unexpectedly.
Hearing Kim Haru's explanation, Fuzzball twitched its nose and sniffed Luna carefully.
The scent seemed to match the human nearby rather than Kim Haru.
Even so, Fuzzball wasn't fully convinced.
It meowed inquisitively at Luna.
Luna who is now face-to-face with Fuzzball's simmering hostility, felt the abyssal danger radiating from it.
