Webnovel Author In The Apocalypse World-Chapter 281: Leaving for Loyalty

This person not only offers such good food to the animals but also thoughtfully considers their preferences, even asking if they have any dietary restrictions.

Not even some Beast Tamers like him would treat animals as well as this person does, right?

Kang Hose suddenly started to understand why his pets liked this human so much.

If he were an animal, he probably wouldn’t be able to resist someone like this either.

"They aren’t picky eaters; they’ll eat anything," Kang Hose answered.

Kim Haru glanced at Kang Hose, unsure of what he was thinking.

After a moment of thought, he moved the food prepared for the Trinity Lunarian Cat and the Moonlight Howling Corgi closer to the latter and asked, "Do you want to check if I put anything inappropriate in it?"

Like poison, for instance.

Kang Hose shook his head. "No need."

He had noticed earlier that while this person was cooking, all the ingredients were processed together.

The food wasn’t just for the Trinity Lunarian Cat and the Moonlight Howling Corgi—it was also meant for the Cryo Wolf.

Even if there was poison, it wouldn’t make sense for him to poison all the Cryo Wolf at once.

It wasn’t worth it.

With no further issues, Kim Haru began distributing the food amid the animals’ eager gazes.

The Cryo Wolf buried their faces in their bowls, eating with great enthusiasm.

The Trinity Lunarian Cat and the Moonlight Howling Corgi rarely had the chance to eat such food, especially vegetables that were completely free of any mutagenic virus.

Even though they weren’t fans of vegetables, they couldn’t resist the flavor.

For a brief moment, both of them considered switching loyalty.

But that thought only lasted a moment.

The Trinity Lunarian Cat and the Moonlight Howling Corgi quickly ate more than half of their portions.

Then, as if they had reached a mutual understanding, they each took a large bite, kept it in their mouths without swallowing, and walked over to Kang Hose.

They carefully placed the food into his hand and nudged him with their heads, signaling for him to eat.

In that moment, Kang Hose’s eyes reddened.

It was as if he had been transported back to the time before he left his original base.

Back then, when the base’s ability users wanted to eat his animals, he had fought desperately to hide them, but they still got caught.

One of his dogs had been eaten in front of him, nearly driving him insane.

After that, Kang Hose had been forced to hide in the base, unable to escape due to his lack of strength.

Without the means to survive outside, he had no choice but to scrape by within the base.

During those days, when he couldn’t even steal food, the Trinity Lunarian Cat and the Moonlight Howling Corgi had stolen food for him, spitting out small portions for him to eat, helping him stay alive.

Kang Hose said nothing as he took a bite from each of their offerings and swallowed the food.

Kim Haru, having observed this scene, filled another bowl, sprinkled it with salt, stirred it, and handed it to Kang Hose. "Eat."

Kang Hose was startled. "I don’t—"

"If you don’t eat, they’ll keep trying to feed you," Kim Haru pointed at the Trinity Lunarian Cat and the Moonlight Howling Corgi, who were indeed preparing to bite off more food for him. "I don’t want them to eat poorly."

Without further protest, Kang Hose took the bowl.

Seeing that the human now had food, the Trinity Lunarian Cat and the Moonlight Howling Corgi relaxed and buried their faces in their bowls, eating happily.

Kim Haru silently dismissed the thought of trying to steal someone else’s pets.

After finishing the food, Kang Hose made a silent decision.

He walked over to Kim Haru, returned the bowl, and said, "I have something to do. Could you look after these two for a while?" Your next journey awaits at novelbuddy

Of course, Kim Haru agreed. "Sure."

Kang Hose also crouched down to tell the Trinity Lunarian Cat and the Moonlight Howling Corgi to stay and play here, assuring them he would be back soon.

Afterward, Kang Hose headed toward Song Hayoon’s location.

Song Hayoon and the others were in their room, planning the Caeruleus Draco Squad’s next steps.

Kang Hose rarely showed interest in such matters, so they were surprised when he suddenly appeared.

"Hose, why are you here?" Song Hayoon asked.

Kang Hose pressed his lips together. "I want to leave the squad."

"What?" Song Hayoon and the others were stunned.

"I came to announce that I’m leaving the squad," Kang Hose repeated. "Luna and Crescent like that person. I want them to be happy."

Kang Hose didn’t say Kim Haru’s name, but everyone present knew exactly who he was referring to.

Who else could it be, besides the man surrounded by a pack of Cryo Wolf who had somehow charmed all the animals?

Song Hayoon frowned. "Hose, have you thought this through? After how we’ve treated him and his companions, and after you planned to ambush him, do you really think he’ll accept you?"

Kim Haru had indeed thought it through.

"Yes, I understand." From the beginning, Kang Hose hadn’t expected the other party to simply let bygones be bygones and accept him.

His plan was to follow them back and settle nearby, not too far from where they lived.

As long as his pets could occasionally visit and play, that would be enough for him.

Living close by would also allow Kang Hose to keep an eye out for anything he could help with.

If one attempt wasn’t enough, he would keep trying, doing more to make amends for his mistakes.

Someday, the other party would stop minding, wouldn’t they?

The members of the Caeruleus Draco Squad, seeing Kang Hose’s firm decision, chose not to persuade him further.

They were all adults capable of making their own choices and dealing with the consequences.

When they first formed the squad at the Bangnang Safe Zone, they had agreed that if anyone found other opportunities, no one would stand in their way.
