I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 38

Chapter 10.2

“You… talk? Did you just say that?”

“That’s not important right now. Look at this!”

Coco, who said calmly to me, who was still surprised, put down the crumpled paper in front of me.

“Gift.”

I opened the paper with a bewildered mind. There were various people’s names written on them in crooked handwriting that was clearly written by a blunt cat’s hand.

I asked, feeling like I was dreaming.

“What is this…?”

“People whom the angel said yesterday that you want to get rid of them. I did some research this morning.”

Saying so, Coco’s eyes narrowed and growled.

“Cats are compassionate animals.”

Many names were written on the paper and divided into groups. Coco explained each one, pointing it out to me.

“These people are the people who said they liked it better when Mrs. Elbas was around. And these people said that the new Madam seemed like a good person. While these people are neutral.”

Then, it pulled out its sharp claws and pointed to a few names.

“I personally liked this person, this person, and this person. They said I was pretty.”

“….”

“And, this person and this person tried to kick me out. They look like bad people, so these people here seem to be very friendly with each other. This person and this person seemed to have an argument, while this person said that he had an affair. This person has back pain these days…”

Coco released endless employee information.

“Well, first of all… thank you.”

I gazed down at the paper in confusion. Nevertheless, this would be pretty useful if I asked for some information through Agwen and it matched Coco’s words.

In spite of my lack of spirit, I carefully folded the paper and put it in my pocket.

After a while, after shaking off my sleepiness and coming back to my senses, I placed Coco on the table and sat down across from it.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were a Shapeshifter in the first place?”

I knew that the Shapeshifters appeared in this novel and that they go back and forth between the form of an animal and a person. Of course, it was also possible to communicate with humans in the form of animals.

…Although didn’t Coco act like a perfect cat the whole time?

Coco, who was sitting on the table, purred, rubbing its face with its paws.

“Originally, shapeshifters didn’t want to be found, angel.”

In the novel, the male protagonist, who was obviously a dog Shapeshifter, used to freely turn into a dog in front of people though?

Coco quickly answered my question.

“Except for the dogs. Because they don’t even have any courage.”

I suppose he had no courage…

“Then, why did you tell me that you were a Shapeshifter?”

“If it was an angel, I thought that even if you knew that I was a shapeshifter, you would still be nice to me.”

Finishing his words, Coco grabbed my wrist and tilted his head as if asking if that was the case… in the form of a cat with big shiny blue eyes, pointed ears, and a round face with a cute nose!

‘Oh, my heart…’

Coco used a lot of cuteness, so I couldn’t get a hold of myself, which made me confused. I smiled happily before quickly shaking my head to calm myself and spoke sternly.

“Can you turn into a human for a moment?”

…Otherwise, I think I’ll be too swayed by you.

At those words, Coco sullenly closed its ears.

“I want to, too…”

Then, it scratched near the neck with its hind paw and said, “Coco cannot change because of these shackles, my angel.”

Th, third Person Speech…!

Obviously, it was a third-person conversation that other people would have avoided if they had done it, but Coco was a cat.

’S, so cute!’

Coco raised its big sky-blue eyes and stared up at me pitifully.

“Can’t the angel release me?”

Hold on. Is my nose bleeding…

I hurriedly covered my nose with a handkerchief and nodded quickly.

“Do it, I will do it…! I’ll do anything. What can I do? Just tell me!”

“Then, ask that brother yesterday.”

“Brother?”

“He tried to kill me here yesterday. He’s this area’s leader cat.”

It looked like he was talking about the Duke of Blois.

Though, what does it mean… a leader cat? It was cute to even refer to the Duke that way. However, aside from being cute, I became worried when the Duke’s name came out of Coco’s mouth.

“It’s difficult…”

Obviously, he said he doesn’t hate cats, but when I saw him, I was certain that he didn’t like it. Besides, didn’t Coco just say that? That he was trying to kill it? His momentum was so ferocious yesterday…

As if he knew what I was worried about, Coco turned its stomach upside down and acted adorable again.

“So, angel, please do me this favor, okay?”

“Does he really have to do it? I can bring a tool to cut the iron and do it for you.”

Coco nodded as it licked its front paws left and right.

“These shackles are magical shackles that restrain shapeshifters, and they cannot be released unless you have the key. Wouldn’t the demon who uses black magic know how to release me?”

“Demon…?”
