I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 262
Chapter 131.2
“Don’t come out! Don’t come out! Uaak!”
It was because Dimitri, who had transformed from a cat into a human, was naked.
“Huk.”
He must have finally realized this and ran back the way he came. His footsteps faded into the distance, and then the bedroom door slammed shut.
As soon as I heard that sound, I ran hurriedly as if I was being chased by something.
I just wanted to run away.
I frantically ran down the stairs and sprinted through the corridor, hiding my body in any open room I could find. Even though I couldn’t walk alone inside the mansion even during the day because of the ghost, the ghost was the least of my worries right now.
My face was burning very hot.
“This is crazy!”
As I slumped down with my back against the door, memories of everything that had happened with Blue until now flashed through my mind like a whirlwind.
All the nonsense I only show in front of cats!
“Oh my, why is our Blue so pretty? Who does our Blue resemble to be such a cool cat? Aigoo, Aigoo!”
“Our Blue always smells nice. You’re just my type ♥.”
“Ah, Blue. Put that baggage down. Your coolness ♥ Kyaaak!”
“Why is Blue always so cute no matter when I see you? Uunngg. You’re too cute, I feel like I’m going to die. Ehnng! I’m dead! Keut!”
“Our Blue is climbing a really big wall. Do you know that? Perfect~!”
“Uugh, my heart…! Our Blue’s cuteness makes my heart…! Kuht!”
“Blue~ Our Blue~ If I catch you, I’ll give you a million kisses~! Mmwaaaaah! I’ll give you kisses like this~!”
The silly things I restrained myself from making in front of Coco and Sasha exploded in front of Blue.
Why? Because Blue was a cat!
Blue was just a ‘normal’ cat who was okay with whatever silly nonsense I made! Though that wasn’t all. In front of Blue, I cried easily, complained about everything, whined, and showed my foolish expressions without hiding anything.
Although, in fact, I had actually done all of that in front of Dimitri…
‘…Oh, I’m insane.’
I sat with my shoulders slumped, staring at the ceiling with vacant eyes.
‘Besides, I saw it.’
Yes, I saw it.
Dimitri rushed towards me…
‘Naked.’
Blood rushed to my head, leaving me feeling dazed.

Dimitri, who had turned into a cat, was grooming himself frantically on the bed with the bedroom door locked.
Lick, lick.
The sound of him cleaning his fur was urgent. It was a behavior he would do when he was freaking out and needed to calm himself down.
‘But Rowaine will still love me, right? Will she still love me? Because I’m cool?’
As if hypnotizing himself, Dimitri concentrated on a single sentence.
‘She will still love me.’
He kept repeating that sentence over and over again as if he wanted to fill his mind, or rather the entire room, with that sentence. Otherwise, it seemed as if memories of all the antics he had indulged in front of Rowaine as Blue would quickly come to mind—whining like a kitten and strutting around to show off his coolness—and he couldn’t bear it.
‘…I should’ve done it in moderation.’
But whenever he appeared in front of her as Blue, Rowaine would often show a genuinely happy expression that she wouldn’t show to anyone else.
How could he not be cute when she was so happy?
Not only that, but when he climbed onto her lap and being petted by her made him feel like he had everything in the world. It was a temptation too sweet to resist.
“I thought it would be okay if I never got caught…”
Dimitri, who broke down in frustration, buried his face in his round paws and rolled frantically back and forth on the bed.
“She will still love me. Rowaine will still love me. She will love me.”
Dimitri repeated it like a mantra.
She would still love him even if she knew he was Blue.
Beneath that behavior was his anxiety.
“Ugh, you really turned into a cat?”
“Gross!”
“Dirty shifter! Do you eat stuff like this?!”
“Hahaha, what if we give him trash!”
The mocking voices and taunts of Cayetana’s children, his half-brothers, echoed in his ears.
The feeling of being ridiculed simply for existing.
The experienced of feeling like he wanted to hide in a mouse hole just for being born like this.
It remained an indelible shame for Dimitri.
“She’ll love me. Rowaine… she’ll love me. Me…”
Dimitri mumbled and repeated blankly… to avoid being consumed by the thought that she might hate him, too.
