I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 303
Chapter 152.1
“Hmm…”
Coco’s eyes narrowed.
As usual, breakfast this morning included Rowaine, Dimitri, Coco, and Sasha.
In fact, Coco had been feeling nervous ever since he saw Rowaine suddenly acting cold toward Dimitri in the carriage last time. Although he didn’t know what was going on, she looked very angry. He thought Dimitri must have done something seriously wrong and that it wouldn’t be easily resolved.
So, he decided to be cautious and observe the situation for a while…
‘…But what’s going on here?’
Coco’s clear, sky-blue eyes kept darting back and forth between Dimitri and Rowaine as he held his fork.
“Did you sleep well, Dimitri?”
“Thanks to you. What about you, Rowaine?”
“Me too. I had a really nice dream.”
“Was I in your dream?”
“Pfft. How did you know?”
“In that case, you must have had a good time. I certainly wouldn’t have made Rowaine unhappy.”
“Tch.”
As Rowaine smiled shyly and gave him a light shove on his shoulder, Dimitri smirked, resting his chin on his hand, and gazed at her lovingly.
Coco’s mouth dropped open as he watched the scene.
“What the…?”
Dimitri was one thing, but what about Rowaine’s attitude?
Her gaze was dripping with sweetness, just like when she looked at him and Sasha. Dimitri was taking it all in stride, radiating confidence.
Coco nudged Sasha with his elbow and whispered.
“Hey, don’t those two seem completely different?”
Sasha shrugged her shoulders as she gobbled up the mountain of meat piled on her plate.
“Well.”
Her sharp gaze was already targeting another dish on the table. Without even chewing, she swallowed her food and brandished her fork and knife like weapons, aggressively loading up on her meal.
“Other than the fact that Rowaine’s—munch, munch—devilish aura has faded—gulp—I’m not really sure. Hey, aren’t you going to eat that?”
Coco tilted his head, watching Sasha’s fork invade his plate like it was a common occurrence.
“What do you mean? The devil’s aura has faded?”
He was well aware of Agaliaept’s presence attached to Rowaine.
“Is that a problem?”
“I’m not sure, but—slurp—that guy clinging to Rowaine gave me a bad feeling.”
Sasha explained as she chewed and swallowed a hefty chunk of meat.
“It kept getting stronger like it was consuming Rowaine’s shadow entirely. Lately, it was so strong that it could appear whenever it wanted, but now it’s weakened to the point that it can’t even show up, so that’s a good thing.”
“Why is that?”
“I don’t really know. It started happening after I went out with the captain yesterday.”
After enjoying her meal, Sasha let out a burp and carefully wiped her mouth with a napkin, repeating the motion. Coco also set down his fork and meticulously wiped away any traces of food with his napkin. Cleaning up traces of food was a very important ritual in the daily routine of cat shapeshifters.
Having finished her meal, Rowaine was the first to get up from the table.
“I have something to discuss about Renée, so I’ll see you in the office later, Dimitri. And Coco, Sasha, make sure you finish the homework Esca assigned today without falling behind.”
At that moment, Sasha stared at Rowaine for a moment before suddenly getting up from her chair and running over to her.
“Why, Sasha?”
Rowaine gazed at her fondly.
In the past, she would have bent down to match Sasha’s height, but that wasn’t necessary anymore. Sasha had grown so much that she now reached her chin, whereas before, she barely reached her waist.
After hesitating for a moment, Sasha suddenly threw her arms around Rowaine.
“Hmm? What’s wrong, Sasha?”
Rowaine tilted her head in confusion. Though she seemed puzzled, she didn’t push Sasha away. Instead, she happily embraced her.
“No! It’s nothing.”
Saying so, Sasha quickly pulled away and strutted out of the dining room with confident steps. Her face was flushed with satisfaction.
“Is it that good, kid?”
Coco teased as he followed, but surprisingly, Sasha didn’t react defensively and just nodded.
“Yeah.”
She beamed.
“Rowaine never pushes me away, no matter what happens. She always cares about me. It’s different from Sienna.”
Coco, remembering that Sasha had once referred to her former owner as Sienna when they met by chance, asked quietly,
“Are you okay?”
“Of course, you idiot!”
“Ooohk!”
Embarrassed, Sasha playfully punched him in the stomach before dashing away.
“Th-That bad-tempered…”
Coco, clutching his stomach as he sank to the ground, narrowed his eyes before chasing after Sasha.
It was a peaceful, ordinary day.
