I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 274
Chapter 137.2
“Not really.”
I approached him, feeling suspicious.
As I got closer, he unconsciously moved away and asked me with a gesture that didn’t seem intentional.
“What’s going on?”
“Dimitri.”
I took another step closer to him as if testing him.
“….?”
As I approached, he moved away from me.
“Just a moment. There’s something I need to check right now…”
I slowly lifted my hand and placed my hand on top of his to confirm. Instantly, he reflexively withdrew his hand from under mine.
I was convinced by his reaction.
“Are you upset with me?”
Dimitri flinched, then quickly flashed an empty, hollow smile and denied it.
“What could I possibly be upset with Rowaine about?”
“Then, why are you avoiding me?”
“Me? That couldn’t be.”
He shrugged his shoulders, denying it.
I thought it would be better to show through actions rather than words, so I quietly took a step closer to him. However, then he reflexively took a step back from me.
“You’re keeping your distance from me.”
There was no doubt this cat was keeping a distance between us.
Otherwise, Dimitri, who usually allowed me to be close… No, who simply tolerated my presence, always staying near me without conscious effort, now unconsciously pushed me away, which meant I had made him uncomfortable.
Feeling like I knew why, I asked him first.
“Is it because of what happened this morning?”
“….”
Although Dimitri didn’t say anything, I could see a meaningful change in his pupils.
‘I must have been rude.’
I kept picturing his naked body, so I ran away when I saw him. At the thought, I admitted my mistake and apologized to him earnestly.
“I was being so childish earlier because I was embarrassed. I was startled and reacted that way. If it upset you, I apologize, Dimitri.”
Dimitri stared at me silently for a while, then asked in a low voice.
“Did… you hate that sight?”
It was a surprising question. Would someone who had just shown their own naked body usually ask such a question?
I didn’t hide my awkward expression and spoke as carefully as possible.
“Part I don’t like… I suppose it’s okay to say that everything is good, but wouldn’t it be a bit difficult for me to like that?”
However, Dimitri seemed very disappointed.
“I thought Rowaine would like that. Do you really hate it because it’s me?”
Did he really think I liked other people’s naked bodies…?
“You thought that? It’s a bit shocking. Where did you get such a misunderstanding about me?”
“In every aspect?”
“What do you mean?”
My mouth dropped open in shock.
‘What kind of image does he have of me?’
What have I done? Did I come across as some kind of pervert?
It was confusing.
“It’s a misunderstanding. I don’t like that kind of thing.”
When I spoke firmly and with a straight face, Dimitri’s face hardened.
“Is that so.”
I was genuinely taken aback by his obvious change in expression.
Was it really that disappointing to hear that I didn’t like looking at other people’s naked bodies? Feeling unjust and bewildered by this strange conversation, I was momentarily stunned and then blurted out to him.
“Are you hoping that I’m a pervert who enjoys looking at other people’s naked bodies? What on earth did I do to create such a misunderstanding? Why would you think of me like that?”
“Yes…?”
Dimitri looked puzzled, as if he had just been insulted in a foreign language he didn’t understand.
“What do you mean, a pervert who enjoys looking at naked bodies?”
“….?”
Seeing his bewildered expression, I became even more confused.
“Dimitri just asked me if I hated seeing you naked…?”
He tilted his head. Blinking innocently, he looked at me with a gaze that was both naive and repulsive, asking silently, ‘When did I?’
There was no doubt that something was wrong.
When I was speechless and faced Dimitri with the same expression on my face, he parted his lips.
“I was asking if you didn’t like the sight of me turning into a cat.”
“….!”
At that moment, I realized what I had misunderstood, and my face flushed red. It seemed Dimitri only now understood the situation as well.
“Were you… thinking about your body?”
“N-No, um, uh, that, that’s…”
“It wasn’t that I turned into a cat?”
“Well, um, I was thinking about that too…”
“The part that impressed you was the naked part?”
“….”
I didn’t want to commit the same rudeness again, but…
‘I want to die—!’
I fled from Dimitri once again, leaving him behind.
“I need to use the restroom for a moment!”
