I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 61
Chapter 31.1
Rowaine tried to say something more when she saw Dimitri’s clothes but stopped. Instead, she pointed to the kitten she had hidden behind her with her finger.
Surprised by the hounds, the child who unknowingly turned into a cat was cream-colored with black spots on its face, ears, four paws, and tail.
‘She must have been quite surprised.’
To show both a human form and a cat form in front of people they see for the first time. The child must have been poorly educated. Of course, not to mention Coco, who did the same thing even though he was all grown up. In Dimitri’s eyes, Coco was a foolish cat, and he was as big as a kitten.
“I… I’m going to go in a little later because of this child. I want to feed her.”
Saying so, Rowaine glanced at Dimitri cautiously. When suddenly, the kitten stuck out its tongue and wiggled.
“Uwaak—”
A little bit of clear, white vomit that was nothing but water and foam fell on the floor.
Rowaine gazed at it sadly and opened her mouth.
“As you can see, she’s starving.”
If a cat starved for more than a few hours, it could not resist hunger and would ‘throw up on an empty stomach.’
Dimitri clicked his tongue and grabbed the kitten by the back.
Unlike what he had done to Coco, he was handling the kitten with a gentle touch. It was because the large hand with strong force was quite stable. Meanwhile, the kitten was like a doll hanging from a bag or something as it was dangling with its arms and legs hanging in the air while being quietly held.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes?”
Rowaine looked nervous about what Dimitri would do to the kitten.
Instructing the knight to bring the carriage, he glanced back at her with a languid expression on his face.
“You don’t need to feed them outside food that hasn’t been inspected. How many chefs are always waiting in the mansion?”
“….!”
At his words, her eyes widened.
“…No way. Are you going to take her?”
“You don’t like it?”
“It’s amazing! I love it!”
Dimitri turned his head coyly and got into the carriage that had just arrived. At the same time, Rowaine followed him, hopping with excitement.
‘If I had said not to take her, she would have come and stayed here every day.’
He thought she was just like a cat.
Originally a matrilineal society, cats form families centered on females. Rowaine was like a female cat growing in influence in the herd.

I gazed proudly at Dimitri, who sat down graciously at the table for a late meal, Coco, who nibbled at the food, and the child, who swallowed a chunk of meat without chewing.
“Eat slowly.”
I asked, wiping the oil from the child’s nose and cheeks.
“But, what’s your name?”
Coco said he did not have a name because he was being held captive by a slave trader. So, I was very fond of the name I gave him, so that was why I was using it. However, it seems like there must have been someone who took care of this child, so I thought she might already have a name.
The child mumbled and gazed at me with blue eyes like the sea.
“Pretty.”
“…Is your name pretty?”
“Don’t call me that name, tsk.”
“Yes…”
It was a good word, though if it was a name, depending on your taste, it could be annoying.
“Then, what should I call you?”
“I don’t know. Tssk, give me more meat.”
The child lifted her bowl over her head after saying that. I poured the food from the large bowl into the child’s bowl.
The child bluntly flattered me.
“I’m proud of you, servant.”
“At times like this, you should say thank you.”
“Thank you, servant.”
Coco, who was next to me, interrupted.
“She’s not a servant, but an angel.”
At that, the child then raised his head indifferently and hit Coco on the head.
“Huh, tsk?”
“Ackk…! Look at her, angel!”
“Sweetie, you can’t do that to your brother.”
The child retorted, opening her eyes skeptically that her pupils were half-covered, and spoke, “Not my brother. I don’t have a brother who can’t hunt.”
“I’m good at hunting!”
“Ho?”
The child pulled one corner of her mouth and snorted. It was the outbreak for the second round. Most of the time, Coco was right.
At the commotion, Dimitri struck the table with his fist.
“Shut up.”
Immediately, the two cats were suppressed by his momentum and quickly became quiet.
‘As expected, the leader cat!’
It was because little cats were taught by grown cats.
I asked the child again.
“If you don’t like your original name, how about the name Sasha? Sasha.”
“…Sasha?”
After repeating the name, the child eventually shrugged her shoulders and answered.
“Ah, do whatever you want.”
