Terrified, it immediately meowed back in rapid response, answering Fuzzball's questions without hesitation.

Finally, Fuzzball's suspicions were completely dispelled.

It believed no cat would dare lie to it.

Even though Kang Hose had heard from Go Okrim about Fuzzba's origins and formidable abilities, it was only now, amidst this jealous outburst, that he truly felt the chilling menace the cat exuded.

He no longer doubted the stories about this cat's aura being strong enough to agitate the mutated animals in the Safe Zone from afar.

At that moment, Kang Hose finally realized why the cat felt so familiar to him.

Isn't this the same white long-haired cat that he had encountered once before?

It's no wonder he felt a sense of familiarity along the way.

The cat had been snuggled in Kim Haru's arms, making it hard to see its full appearance.

Its aura was soft and cuddly in Haru's presence, which is why he hadn't recognized it immediately.

Now that this cat had unleashed its majestic presence, he could finally confirm its identity.

What a coincidence to meet it again.

A few years ago, when he encountered this cat, it was in a place far, far away from here.

Could it be that the cat had been searching for its owner, Kim Haru, all this time?

Kang Hose originally wanted to find an opportunity to tell Kim Haru about this matter, but he soon received the answer himself.

Once it was confirmed that the new cat in the house wasn't competing for affection, Fuzzball cheerfully started exploring other creatures in the small farm.

That Moonlight Howling Corgi wasn't worth paying attention to.

It wasn't as competitive as the larger Cryo Wolfs and could be dismissed with just a glance.

Besides, based on the scent, its owner was also a human who raised that Trinity Lunarian Cats.

Since it didn't share the same caretaker, there wasn't much point in paying attention to it.

Then there was the peculiar-smelling white radish.

Curious, Fuzzball moved closer to the Ginseng Spirit.

Seeing that Fuzzball had no hostility toward Luna, Kim Haru no longer stopped it.

He released Fuzzball and let it roam freely.

Of course, Kim Haru still followed closely behind.

When he saw Fuzzball showing interest in the Ginseng Spirit, he introduced their identities to each other.

"Fuzzball, this is one of the new members of the household. It's a mutated ginseng plant."

Kim Haru didn't mention the Ginseng Spirit's half-spirit nature.

Even though Go Okrim and Kang Hose had signed contracts to work on the farm, some secrets were better left unsaid.

In the context of the apocalypse, the Ginseng Spirit's current state wasn't much different from other mutated creatures, which made it easier for people to understand.

Revealing its half-spirit nature wouldn't bring any special benefits, so it was better not to complicate matters unnecessarily.

Kim Haru then introduced Fuzzball to the Ginseng Spirit in the same manner, explaining that Fuzzball was a cat he had raised before and they had now reunited.

He even warned Fuzzball specifically, "Don't go around biting Little Gingseng, okay?"

And it was a good thing he did because, without that warning, Fuzzball was just about to bite the Ginseng Spirit's wriggling roots.

It was nearly impossible for a cat not to be curious about moving things.

Fortunately, Fuzzball was obedient.

Upon hearing its caretaker's disapproval, it abandoned its idea of taking a bite to satisfy its curiosity.

However, Fuzzball remained highly intrigued by the Ginseng Spirit.

It could sense that this plant was very different from other moving mutated plants it had encountered.

As for the Ginseng Spirit, after hearing Kim Haru's introduction, it stood still and allowed Fuzzball to paw at it twice and circle around it a few times.

Then, all of a sudden, it jumped up from the ground and landed on Kim Haru's shoulder.

Before Fuzzball could climb up in pursuit, the Ginseng Spirit's roots tapped Kim Haru's shoulder four times.

Kim Haru's expression darkened.

Four taps—the secret signal they had agreed upon to indicate something very important needed to be discussed.

That signal, given right after interacting with Fuzzball, meant the matter was crucial and directly related to the cat.

Whether it was the importance of the issue or its connection to Fuzzball, both made Kim Haru highly alert.

He dismissed Go Okrim and Kang Hose, saying, "I'm taking Fuzzball to get familiar with the environment. See if you can catch some fish for tonight. We'll have a welcome dinner for Fuzzball."

Go Okrim and Kang Hose, oblivious to anything unusual, nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry. We'll catch the tastiest fish for the meal."

Kim Haru nodded and with the Ginseng Spirit on his shoulder and Fuzzball now nestled in his arms, walked back toward the wooden cabin.

Once inside, Haru closed the door.

"What's the matter?" he asked, still holding Fuzzball as he placed the Ginseng Spirit on the table at eye level.

The Ginseng Spirit glanced at Fuzzball and then asked Haru, "Human, are you certain this cat is the same one you raised before?"

Kim Haru didn't understand why the Ginseng Spirit would ask such a question.

Lowering his head, he looked at Fuzzball in his arms and met its familiar feline gaze.

A flood of recognition and affection washed over him, the kind that comes from living with a beloved pet for over a decade.

"I'm sure about it," Haru said firmly. "Is there something wrong with Fuzzball?"

"It's not that there's anything wrong with it. It's that I can smell a familiar scent on it," the Ginseng Spirit replied. "Do you remember how the Cryo Wolfs and the Starlight Armored Bug were sent to you by a certain entity?"

"…Are you saying that Fuzzball was sent by the same entity?"

Actually, that thought had already crossed Kim Haru's mind when he reunited with Fuzzball.

Hearing what the Ginseng Spirit had to say now didn't surprise him in the slightest.

However, what truly caught Kim Haru off guard was the Ginseng Spirit shaking its head.
