At most, he would pretend not to see this person.
The mont Kang Hose let it slide, the Trinity Lunarian Cat and the Moonlight Howling Corgi imdiately sprang into action.
The Trinity Lunarian Cat loosened its grip on his shoulder, and the Moonlight Howling Corgi leaped down to the ground, both of them heading directly toward Kim Haru.
Kim Haru crouched down and extended his hands. "Good~"
He touched them!
One hand petted the cat's head, and the other rubbed the dog's.
In that mont, Kim Haru felt an overwhelming sense of happiness.
The Trinity Lunarian Cat had dium-length fur, though it appeared slightly dry and sparse due to the harsh post-apocalypse environnt.
However, the fur was still quite smooth and free of tangles, suggesting that Kang Hose occasionally grood it.
The Moonlight Howling Corgi's fur was short, with a satin-like texture.
Whether it was a physical trait or sothing else, its plump backside was especially satisfying to squeeze, providing an excellent tactile experience.
After petting them for a while, Kim Haru suddenly rembered the fish in his system inventory. "Co on, let's find a cleaner spot. I'll prepare sothing for you to eat."
With that, Kim Haru led the Trinity Lunarian Cat and Moonlight Howling Corgi away.
It was as if Kang Hose had been completely forgotten.
Kang Hose silently followed them behind, watching as his beloved Trinity Lunarian Cat and Moonlight Howling Corgi eagerly trotted after soone else.
If not for the occasional glances they cast backward to ensure their owner was keeping up, Kang Hose might have cursed the two little traitors outright.
Even though he couldn't bring himself to scold them, Kang Hose felt a deep pang of jealousy.
Why didn't his pets like him as much as they liked this person?
If he possessed such a skill, perhaps the stray cat he had encountered recently might have agreed to stay with him.
Kang Hose's thoughts drifted to that particular cat.
He had seen that cat in late autumn.
At the ti, Kang Hose was fishing in a seemingly clear stream for his Trinity Lunarian Cat.
However, the mutated fish in the river were either electrified, incredibly fast, or had razor-sharp fangs capable of eating humans while being inedible themselves.
After spending half a day at the riverbank, Kang Hose hadn't managed to catch a single fish.
Just as he was considering moving to another spot, the cat suddenly appeared.
It was a snow-white cat with silvery-gray tips on its fur.
Long-haired and impeccably fluffy, its coat looked like a soft blanket draped elegantly over its body.
Especially striking was the tail, which was dense and voluminous, swaying gracefully with an almost ethereal aura as the cat moved.
Its eyes, a mix of azure and gold, briefly glanced at Kang Hose before dismissing him entirely as it headed toward the riverbank.
Kang Hose noticed that it intended to catch fish.
Given its normal-sized physique, he doubted it would find success in a river filled with such dangerous prey.
Moreover, with its thick fur, any contact with water would likely take forever to dry completely, increasing the risk of illness.
"I'll help…" Kang Hose started to say, knowing that most mutated animals could understand human speech.
He hoped to catch a fish for it and perhaps win its favor, enticing it to stay with him.
But before he could finish speaking, the cat lightly tapped the river's surface with its paw.
The motion was so delicate that not even a single droplet of water splashed, creating only two gentle ripples.
Yet, that small, dragonfly-like touch caused a fish larger than the cat itself to leap out of the water, soaring over the feline before landing on the riverbank behind it.
The massive fish flopped weakly a couple of tis before lying still, as if offering itself up for slaughter.
The cat, clearly practiced in this skill, casually retracted its paw and elegantly licked it twice.
Then, it picked up the enormous fish and departed the way it ca.
Kang Hose was utterly stunned.
He didn't know whether to marvel at the cat's extraordinary paw strength or its ability to carry such a massive fish despite its petite size.
In any case, that cat was incredible.
When Kang Hose recalled the scene later, he figured he must have missed so details at the ti.
That cat's fur was impeccably grood, each strand sleek and glossy, exuding an air of perfection.
The cat itself was round and well-proportioned, a balance of muscle and fat that spoke of excellent care.
There was no way a creature like that needed help catching fish—it was more than capable on its own.
Even so, Kang Hose couldn't help thinking that if he ever saw the cat again, he'd wish to take it ho with him.
But such a dignified, aloof cat likely wouldn't let itself be kept by a human so easily, would it?
Now, looking at the man surrounded by so many Cryo Wolf—including his own Trinity Lunarian Cat and Moonlight Howling Corgi—Kang Hose couldn't help but wonder: if it were this man, would that proud cat warm up to him?
He wasn't confident in the answer.
Kim Haru's system inventory contained a fish he'd caught earlier.
At the ti, he'd randomly decided to store a whole fish instead of just its skin.
Looking back now, it felt almost like foresight—as though he knew he'd encounter the Trinity Lunarian Cat today.
But with so many Cryo Wolf and the Moonlight Howling Corgi crowding around him, giving the fish only to the Trinity Lunarian Cat felt unfair.
Especially the Cryo Wolf—when Kim Haru petted the Moonlight Howling Corgi, they eagerly pushed their heads under his hands, vying for attention.
Their jostling was so intense it seed like they might shove the poor Moonlight Howling Corgi into a corner.
If he scolded them, the Cryo Wolf would look up at him with pitiful whines, making it impossible for him to stay stern.
There was no way Kim Haru could bear to favor the Trinity Lunarian Cat alone.
