I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 46

Chapter 23.2

Even Dimitri, who knew that it was a doll, suddenly forgot it and focused on the prey. The doll sometimes soared like a bird and hid behind obstacles like a mouse. Because of that, he unknowingly jumped off the wall, ran like the wind and snatched the doll.

“Blue!”

Huuuk—

Dimitri, who had been running with his fangs towards the doll, intoxicated with the pleasure of hunting, came to a standstill.

‘…What did I do?’

It was shameful. Nevertheless, he tossed the doll on the ground and strode a little more arrogantly and gracefully before sitting down, smirking.

Glancing at him like that, Coco laughed.

‘That small thing.’

Even when in a human form, Coco was much smaller than Dimitri, and even as a cat, the difference was small enough to be seen with the eyes.

Dimitri was a large, dignified and elegant cat.

‘This ignorant, impudent guy.’

Proud, he inflated his body and threatened Coco. Because of the unwritten rule that they hid each other’s identities when they turned into cats, Coco pretended not to know him.

In fact, there seemed to be no time for that, anyway.

“Angel, shake it again!”

…It was because he was obsessed with toys.

However, Rowaine cautiously approached Dimitri and made a fuss, leaving Coco behind for a while.

“Is our Blue good at hunting, too? So cool! You did a great job, you’re the best…!”

‘…What?’

At her words, Dimitri was a little stunned.

‘I just caught something like that. Why is she making a fuss?’

Still, he raised his chin proudly. On the other hand, Coco, who saw it, grabbed the doll on the fishing rod and dragged it around, whining to Rowaine.

“Angel, what about me?”

At Coco’s question, he clicked his tongue inwardly.

‘That thing without courage like a dog?’

Dimitri didn’t like the dog shapeshifters very much. That was why he didn’t like Coco, who was acting cute with the pretext of being a cat. However, Rowaine didn’t compliment Coco by saying that he was cool or great.

‘This is great.’

Seeing that, Dimitri narrowed his eyes, then slammed to the ground and leaped gracefully to catch the toy wielded by Rowaine in the air.

As soon as he glanced back at her, she burst into applause.

“Blue is really cool! You must be a genius! You’re doing so well—! Aww, pretty! Is it okay if you two hunt together? Isn’t it fun? It’s fun to play together.”

Seeing her like that, Dimitri narrowed his eyes.

‘I think she’s up to something.’

Then, as if he couldn’t lose again, Coco grabbed the toy Rowaine was exerting.

“Look at me! Don’t you think I’m pretty trained now?”

After that, he spat out absurd remarks.

“If I become much stronger than I am now, will you be my wife instead of the brother, angel?”

When Coco peered up at Rowaine with a face different than before, Dimitri couldn’t stand it any longer.

‘…This b*stard.’

He ran and smacked Coco on the head.

It was a punch so fast and strong that his feet could not be seen.

The next day, a welcome letter was delivered to me.

It was a letter from Renée.

The letter stated that she had crossed the border safely and that she would soon marry Nigel once she settled in a foreign country.

She expressed that she was grateful to me for being able to get the marriage she wanted and wrote down the story that every day was like a dream. It was a happy ending for everyone.

I felt amazingly at peace.

Even though I didn’t get to know Renée that much, looking at her reminded me of my childhood days.

‘I had my own problems, too, but still.’

How long has it been since I’ve cared so much about others…?

It was me who lived a closed life with no friends to open up to except my mother. Although my maternal grandmother, whom I had been living with for ten years after my school days, took care of me for me, there was a wall between us that I couldn’t overcome.

She couldn’t really understand me, who devoted all my heart to the cats, and I couldn’t open my heart to my maternal grandmother.

‘I wasn’t so interested in others and lived only by looking at cats.’

So, unlike my usual self, I was rather nosy about Renée.

As I comforted Coco, who was begging to play, I called the maid, Sophia and the butler, Derek.

“Did you call me?”

“What’s going on?”

Unlike Derek, who was more polite than when I first saw him, Sophia still stood in front of me with a cold face. The next moment, I showed them both a list of employees and my newly created work schedule.

“In the future, I’ll have my employees move according to what I have set.”

Sophia frowned.
