Webnovel Author In The Apocalypse World-Chapter 349: Fuzzball’s Mischief
Nor could the claw marks have been made by the Cryo Wolf.
That left only two possibilities—Fuzzball or Luna.
However, Kim Haru firmly believed Luna wouldn't attack Kang Hose, its owner.
Even if the claw marks only tore clothing without scratching flesh—a clear sign of restraint—Kim Haru didn't think Luna would act this way on its own.
That left one possibility.
Either Fuzzball had controlled Luna, or Fuzzball had caused the damage directly.
Kim Haru leaned toward the latter.
Sure enough, Kang Hose gave a helpless smile and said, "It was Fuzzball. It started wreaking havoc shortly after you left."
Still unaccustomed to dealing with the zombie-bots, Kang Hose had spent most of the afternoon focused on them.
As a result, he hadn't used Kim Haru's authority to suppress Fuzzball when the mischievous feline began acting up.
At first, Kang Hose thought Fuzzball was targeting the ducks in the pond.
After all, the cat who had initially crouched by the pond, occasionally glancing at the ducks floating on the water while licking its paws.
What Kang Hose hadn't expected was that clever Fuzzball would pull a diversion.
While Kang Hose, Little Nugget, and Sir Peckington were busy ushering the ducks toward the pond's center, Fuzzball dashed into the wooden cabin and started harassing the Cryo Wolf.
The Cryo Wolf were just barely larger than Fuzzball's little cat paws.
When such a large cat charged toward them, they immediately scattered in panic.
This made the "bouncy little round beads" even more appealing to the cat, who enthusiastically started a game of chase.
Fortunately, Fuzzball recognized that the Cryo Wolf were her companions and made no moves to harm them.
However, if any Cryo Wolf happened to get caught by her, it would have to face the fate of being rolled around under the great demon king Fuzzball's paw, much like a real glass bead—rolling and rolling, over and over.
It left the Cryo Wolf so dizzy they could barely keep their heads straight.
Even though Kang Hose knew that, despite their reduced size, the Cryo Wolf' sturdy bodies were no less resilient than they had been in the winter.
There was no chance they would get hurt from this kind of roughhousing.
Besides, judging by how fast they were running from Fuzzball—so fast he could barely track them if he wasn't paying full attention—it was clear their abilities hadn't diminished at all.
Still, knowing that in theory was one thing, but emotionally, seeing these tiny little Cryo Wolf being toyed with by such a "huge" cat like playthings made him feel they were weak, pitiful, and helpless.
So, Kang Hose decided to step in and put a stop to it.
If he didn't intervene, he feared all eleven Cryo Wolf would end up utterly despondent under the playful torment of this mischievous cat.
However, Kang Hose's attempt to stop Fuzzball ended with the scene now before Kim Haru and Go Okrim.
Not only had he failed to stop Fuzzball from playing with the Cryo Wolf, but he himself had also become one of her toys, reluctantly "joining" the game of hide-and-seek.
Since Kang Hose, being a full-sized human, couldn't be rolled around like the Cryo Wolf, Fuzzball's "punishment" for catching him manifested in the state of his tattered clothes.
"Now the Cryo Wolf are being chased by Fuzzball into the forest. I had Luna follow them to leave markers for us so you'd be able to find them when you got back," Kang Hose reported.
Kim Haru: "..."
Fuzzball truly hadn't changed at all—still the same bold cat who dared to provoke even much larger Dobermans when he took her out for walks.
"Alright, you've done enough. Go clean yourself up, change into some fresh clothes, and take a bath. Leave Fuzzball to me; I'll handle her," Kim Haru said while patting Kang Hose on the shoulder to reassure him.
Go Okrim wanted to tag along, but Kim Haru left him behind at the small farm to prepare dinner.
Kim Haru even gave a specific instruction: "Don't make anything for Fuzzball. She needs to be punished."
Go Okrim: "…Alright, got it."
Go Okrim felt that from now on, he would need to look at cats in a whole new light.
In fact, any creature with an attractive appearance should be viewed with caution.
Tsk tsk tsk.
It's best not to mess with her.

Fuzzball, it's not that I don't want to cook for you; it's just that Kim Haru-hyung is our true boss.
You understand, right?
Please don't sneakily seek revenge on me later.
With that, Go Okrim silently went off to prepare dinner for the day.
Following the trail left by Luna, Kim Haru ventured into the forest.
Neither the Cryo Wolf nor Fuzzball had made any effort to hide their tracks, so it was easy for Kim Haru to follow.
However, Not only did he find the Cryo Wolf and Fuzzball, but he also stumbled upon something familiar—Fish Mint.
Fish Mint is one of those peculiar vegetables that people either love to bits or can't stand even a bite of.
Kim Haru, who recognized the Fish Mint at first glance.
Ignoring the dog and cat nearby, he said, "You two play here and don't wander off. I'll dig up some vegetables, and we'll head back together."
With that, Kim Haru squatted in front of the Fish Minth, ready to start digging.
In order to avoid damaging the roots with a hoe, he retrieved a sickle from his system backpack.
Using the tip of the sickle, he carefully loosened the soil around the plant before gently pulling it out by the roots.
Although there weren't many visible green leaves poking out of the soil, it didn't matter.
After all, Fish Mint is primarily prized for its roots.
However, Kim Haru had a habit: he preferred to eat it with a bit of the leaves, which added a refreshing taste.
He didn't need many leaves for that and the amount here was already sufficient.
