I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 131

Chapter 66.1

“Blue is good at hunting!”

The eyes of the two cats were bright.

Looking at the place they pointed, there was Blue, who was sitting on a branch holding a bird that was still alive and fluttering.

“Blue!”

I approached Blue and greeted him warmly, but suddenly, Blue cried for a long time in a voice I hadn’t heard before.

“Mrrrraawrr!”

“….?”

It was an unusual cry. Even though I was confident in being able to understand cats’ behaviors to some extent, I had no idea why Blue was behaving this way.

“Wh-why?”

As he glanced at me in bewilderment, this time, Blue cried with a slightly sharper voice, “Mrrrraawrr!” for a long time.

“Did I do something wrong? Did I make a mistake?”

Did I unwittingly make the cat feel uncomfortable? Watching my tearful face, Blue quickly whipped his tail. It meant he was angry.

“Why?”

As the nice, good-natured Blue was mad at me yet I didn’t know why, I was desperate. And after giving me a sense of despair, he jumped off the tree branch and ran haughtily.

“Why is he like that?”

When I asked Coco and Sasha if they could get a hint, Coco tilted his head.

“Angel, did you have a fight with Blue?”

“…Did I? ”

“I think Blue is very upset. It was a very hurtful sound.”

“What? Why?”

Shrugging at my words, Coco gazed at my face worriedly.

“But seeing Angel’s face, I’m also upset as well. How did this happen? Why didn’t you treat it with your ability?”

“Oh, um, this is…”

I evaded the answer before glancing in the direction where Blue had disappeared.

‘What was wrong…’

Dimitri spat out the bird he had caught to teach the young cats to hunt and walked aimlessly. The bird luckily survived, lost its energy, and couldn’t fly so it ran away and disappeared into the grass.

“….”

He held a fallen branch and laid down on his back, clutching it tightly with his front paws and hitting it with his hind foot. It was a temperamental bunny kick.
[ T/N: OMG please google cat bunny kick! The best thing I’ve seen today~! ( Tヮ T)♡ ]

‘D*mn it.’

Lying on the grass, he rolled around, trying to release his anger. Even though it bothered him that he had shouted, ‘Don’t come!’ at Rowaine earlier, the sight of her sick face had filled him with such fury that he couldn’t help himself.

‘She went and did all that without saying a word to me, talking only to her employees and others.’

When he later learned that Cayetana had even bowed her head and apologized to Rowaine, he couldn’t believe it. That someone like her would lower her head was a huge incident. Upon hearing the news, he felt like throwing a party and drinking wine that he didn’t usually drink because it was so exhilarating.

‘But…’

After seeing Rowaine in person, Dimitri’s joy faded, and he wondered why he was so angry. His tail thumped against the floor, a clear expression of his frustration. Just as a human’s mood is revealed through facial expressions, a cat’s mood is shown through its tail.

Yet, he was unaware that his tail was twitching with involuntary displeasure.

His teeth clenched at the memories of being abused by Cayetana as a child and of his mother, who had been cruelly beaten by her. The boiling rage inside him was so intense that even if he tore Cayetana apart, his anger wouldn’t subside. He wanted to trample her by any means necessary.

Still, he couldn’t understand why he didn’t feel completely satisfied when Rowaine had done just that.

Why.

Why…

Dimitri couldn’t find an answer and circled around in place before coming to a conclusion.

‘As much as Rowaine was sick, Cayetana should be worse so it could be better.’

An apology alone wasn’t enough.

‘I can’t just let it end with words.’

As he thought so, Dimitri narrowed his eyes and searched for a way. His green eyes suddenly flashed, and a wicked smirk painted on his face.

“You know what will happen if you don’t do as you’re told, right?”

Dimitri, perched on a tall branch in the form of a cat, threatened the rat shapeshifters he had just caught. Even though they were called shapeshifters, even when they were in human form, they were as big as only two spans of hand as they knelt in front of him and nodded their heads wildly.

“Squeak, squeeak!”

“Ppeek!”

“Squeak, ppeek!”

The rat spoke in their own language, trying hard to explain something to him, even though Dimitri couldn’t understand it. They probably understood what he was asking them to do and would do anything if he would spare them.
