Chapter 172

Did a Clockwork Cat announce she was entering the race? This was something Melina had never even considered. You couldn't exactly call these creatures lazy, as they always finished the work they were supposed to do. It was just that they would never, under any circumstances, work a single minute of overtime, nor would they ever do anything outside of their assigned duties. Even when hired, they followed their contracts to the letter. Take Cat-gnaros, for example. Although she was a Clockwork Cat hired by Sonia, the moment quitting time arrived, she would meow her way back to her own camp to mind her own business. She would never do an ounce of extra work, and she certainly wouldn't work overtime unless she was paid—and paid in advance.
