I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 30
Chapter 15.2
̊ · : * ✧ * : · ̊
That night, Dimitri finished his work and went out for a night drink with joy. He was thinking of going to see Rowaine. Until now, she had not moved her room yet and was still using the annex.
‘I was joking around with her for no reason. I couldn’t even bring her to the room next to me.’
Dimitri thought he should persuade her as soon as possible and give her the closest adjacent room.
At first, he thought he’d just keep her by her side and take advantage of the healing powers he desperately needed. However, when he smelled the scent from her, it made him feel better. So, Dimitri wanted to keep Rowaine by his side more.
It was just an attachment to a useful tool.
Still, after watching Rowaine for a few days, his curiosity and interest in her grew out of control. Now, when he thought of her, even his smirk came out. In Dimitri’s head, she was not a ‘tool,’ but ‘someone a little special.’
Humming, he strode to the annex.
Though Rowaine was sitting under the moonlight and weeping alone again.
‘…What is this?’
Dimitri somehow lost strength.
‘Is it because of what happened during the day?’
He thought she gave Cayetana a cool shot, but was she actually hurt, too?
Dimitri slowly sneaked up to her.
His mood plummeted sharply. Maybe he was expecting that innocent smile he saw last time, so seeing her cry like this disappointed him.
‘Doesn’t she like cats? Would she smile when she sees me?’
Dimitri thought impatiently, without even realizing that he had thought that he wanted to make someone laugh, before carefully moving his steps towards her.
…Would she laugh?
Would he ever be able to see her dazzling smile again like the last time?
With that strange feeling, he stared at Rowaine. It felt like his stomach was boiling for some reason.
How many steps did he take?
Suddenly, Dimitri stopped walking, feeling pathetic about what he was doing.
‘What am I doing?’
For a moment, a sense of shame instantly made him lift his head.
‘Ha. What am I looking forward to?’
Looking back at it now, he thought it was ridiculous. Dimitri couldn’t believe he was thinking strangely like that, as if he was possessed by something. He thought that this was all because of the strange smell I got from Rowaine and quickly turned around, although she found him first.
“What… When did you get here?”
Rowaine stopped whimpering as soon as she found him.
Dimitri paused, stood still, and gazed up at her.
Rowaine was smiling.
Just as he expected.
‘….’
Even though it was a lightless night, she shone under the soft moonlight. At that moment, he was instantly overcome with indescribable emotions.
‘What is this relief…?’
“Are you here again? You’re getting pretty close now.”
She unexpectedly stretched out her fingers and held them out to him.
‘What is she trying to do?’
The scent of grass from the tips of her fingers stimulated his sense of smell as he was about to stare at her alertly.
‘The smell of fresh grass…’
Why does she keep smelling such a refreshing scent? Does she even wander through the grass?
Dimitri followed the scent as if possessed, without even knowing he was doing it. When he came to his senses, he noticed that Rowaine was tickling his head.
‘…I was distracted. Whose hair do you dare—’
Coming to his senses, he was ready to scratch Rowaine’s hand.
After counting to three, he was going to launch an attack.
‘One, two…!’
However, before he could count to three, Rowaine pulled out her hand as though she knew he was going to attack. Dimitri trembled with a sense of despondency, not knowing that she knew the behavioral language of cats.
‘…Unbelievable.’
He couldn’t believe his agility could be caught up with by an ordinary human like Rowaine. With that level of judgment and agility, she must have been spoiling her talent if she hadn’t learned her sword.
‘I think it would be better to make her let her guard down.’
Dimitri changed his course, pressed his pride down to persevere, and called out for Rowaine.
“Nya!”
‘Touch me more.’
At this point, it was difficult to come here, so he will do it no matter what.
Without realizing that he was excited, Dimitri was poised to rush in, thinking that he would scratch her white hand so that it would bleed.
However, once again, Rowaine withdrew her hand just before Dimitri could launch the attack again this time.
‘….?’
Could it be that she really learned martial arts? If it weren’t for that, she wouldn’t have been so quick…
At that, he muttered in vain without thinking of getting stroked anymore.
“What’s your name? Since you live in Blois… Can I call you Blue? What do you think, Blue?”
‘What do you mean, Blue?’
“Do you like it, Blue?”
‘There’s no way I would like the name that you gave without any special meaning.’
When Dimitri meowed again and again in disgust, showing that he didn’t like it, Rowaine cried out loud.
“You already know the name!”
“….”
