I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 194

Chapter 97.2

In the meantime, Dimitri explained.

“The demon that took on the form of a lion is Abaddon. He’s also known as the Destroyer, a combat-type demon. It seems that when Abaddon crossed over to this world, Agaliaept played a trick and came along with him. He belongs to the strategist class. While they may have different specialties, both are superior-level demons that are on par with each other.”

“But why is he calling me a contractor?”

“Well, I’m not sure about that either.”

Abaddon lashed Agaliaept’s face with the scorpion tail, causing some of Agaliaept’s teeth to break and fall out with a clatter. However, he had so many teeth that it didn’t seem to have a significant impact.

The two demons didn’t seem to have any intention of finishing it. Thankfully, the battle ended abruptly, with Abaddon losing his nerve and the Agaliaept meekly admitting his rudeness and getting beaten up.

I waited for Agaliaept to come in front of me and then asked.

“Why am I your contractor?”

“Kikiki! It’s because I’ve obtained many souls in exchange for serving you!”

“Many souls?”

“I guess an explanation is in order.”

In an instant, the black smoke emanating from him in front of me began to swirl and take on various shapes.

Gradually, it transformed into several cats.

When they had all taken on the perfect form of cats, I was so surprised that I felt like my breath was catching in my throat.

“These guys made a deal with me, and the gods of this world intervened a little. It was a very pleasant experience! Kikikiki!”
[ T/N: ｡°(°. ◜ᯅ◝ °)°｡ OMG those cats from her previous life… I’m cryingggg— ]

I fell to my knees, speechless, facing the cats that had appeared before me.

“You guys…”

They were the cats I had taken care of in my previous life.

I reached out to them with tears in my eyes, but I couldn’t touch them. As soon as my hand touched them, the cats’ forms rippled like water and transformed back into black smoke again.

When I withdrew my hand in surprise, the black smoke once again took on the shape of a cat.

“It’s just a recreation of my memories. It’s not real.”

The cats frolicked around me, looking just as healthy as when they were alive. As I watched those cats, I couldn’t help but shed tears endlessly.

It was a sight I had missed so much.

I asked the devil without even having time to wipe away the tears that fell down my face.

“What happened? What did these kids do to you?”

“They said they wanted to repay you, contractor. The deadline is three years. They asked me to grant your wish.”

“My wish?”

“You should know that yourself! Kikikiki!”

The demon circled around me frantically, displaying a rather unfriendly attitude.

I asked desperately.

“What happened to these kids now?”

Before the demon could answer that question, Samael appeared out of nowhere and raised his sword, cleaving Agaliaept in half. As Agaliaept let out a horrible scream and melted down into black smoke, the black smoke soon seeped into my shadow and disappeared into thin air.

“Rowaine.”

Dimitri placed his hand on my shoulder.

When I looked back at him, he gazed down at me with dark, sunken eyes and gently wiped away the tear stains on my cheek.

“I don’t think there’s much good to come from hearing it.”

“But, but Dimitri, this…!”

“If you really need to know, you’ll have a chance to ask him later since Rowaine can summon that demon anytime now. Still, I don’t think now is the time.”

His words were right.

I was already not in my right mind.

As tears streamed endlessly, Dimitri held me close and comforted me while reminding me of an important fact.

“Rowaine, it seems Abaddon has proposed a contract to Sasha.”

“….!”

It was only then that I realized I had forgotten about Sasha and turned to where the summoning circle had been. In the presence of a giant lion that must have been over two meters tall, a tiny kitten stood fearlessly and glared at the lion with majestic eyes.

“Come on, tssk! If you mess with me, I’ll beat you!”

I anxiously watched Sasha and Abaddon. When Abaddon said something to her, she nodded valiantly.

“Okay! Let’s do it!”

The next moment, the lion’s new form turned into black smoke as if dispersing before it soon surged fiercely toward Sasha. Like Agaliaept had been absorbed into my shadow and disappeared a moment ago, it vanished into her body.

Soon, Sasha lost consciousness and slumped down.

“Sasha…!”

As I ran over and picked Sasha up, Dimitri, who followed behind, spoke calmly.

“She’s just asleep. She must be fighting within the realm of demons and illusions, and she’ll wake up safely once the contract is completed.”

That meant, in essence, that if she couldn’t complete the contract, she might never wake up from this slumber…

I held Sasha’s small body tightly.

“You have to come back to me, Sasha. Please.”
