I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 62

Chapter 31.2

“All right, Sasha.”

“Yes.”

“All right, you said yes.”

“Yes.”

Although her tone and expression were rebellious, she often followed when taught. It was in stark contrast to Coco, who had an innocent, good-natured face and rebelled when taught.

“Sasha, there’s something you need to know. From now on, even if someone gives you something delicious, you can’t follow them.”

“What about servant?”

“My name is Rowaine. You can call me Madame or Duchess, not servant.”

“Yes, Rowaine.”

As I corrected her, she seemed to be obedient, yet she still had a strong sense of self. Also, cats were arbitrary.

“Anyway, it’s fine if it’s me. You can follow me well because I’m the exception.”

“You’re self-centered, Rowaine.”

“….”

The sound of Dimitri’s chuckling and laughter was clearly audible. When I glanced at him, he was cutting the meat expressionlessly before opening his mouth to me.

“It seems to me that we need someone to educate these guys, Madam.”

“Education?”

“It would be nice to have a teacher. If they want to live in a human society, they have to act like a human.”

“People’s pretext…”

Dimitri narrowed his eyes as I mumbled because it was awkward to use the word ‘human pretext’ for Coco and Sasha.

“I’m sure you’re not forgetting that they’re half-human, Madam?”

Then, Coco and Sasha joined Dimitri.

“That’s right. I’m a human angel.”

“I’m a person. Not a cat.”

Everyone behaved like a cat to their heart’s content, and at times like this, they decided to get along…

‘Look at what they are doing.’

Still, no matter how they looked to me, they were not just cats, they were cat shapeshifters. I thought it might be disrespectful to treat them like a cat too much.

“You just threw food on me!”

“What, tsk?! Wouldn’t it be a shame not to be able to even hunt?”

“Haaakk…!”

Disrespectful… is it?

After many twists and turns, we eventually finished the late dinner. Dimitri offered to find a teacher for the little cats.

“Instead, Coco and Sasha will only be staying in the annex. So, it would be a good idea to move the wife’s room to the main building.”

“What about my room…?”

“The room you’re using now is the room I gave you because I thought the wife would only stay for a while. I think it would be better for you to move because they’re some employees who have good eyes.”

Looking the other way after finishing his words, Dimitri coughed loudly.

“I cleaned up the room across from me. It’s essentially the Duchess’s bedroom.”

The last time he made the same offer, I turned it down because I did not trust him, though I am pretty comfortable with him now. Nonetheless, He made a lot of concessions for me. It was the same for Coco and Sasha. He also gave me the opportunity to increase my influence in the mansion and create my own people by letting me manage the people of the employees.

Because of all those reasons, I had no reason to insist any longer.

“Wouldn’t it be uncomfortable for me to be so close to you?”

I asked because I was afraid that he might think that I was invading his territory. However, Dimitri’s reaction was very surprising.

“Why is the wife uncomfortable?”

“….!”

Although he replied a little bluntly, I realized that he recognized me as a family member or friend already in one space.

“You’re no longer the one who’s going to leave, so please, come into the main building.”

His smile seemed to have darkened somehow, but I nodded my head, thinking it was no big deal.

“Yes.”

“Then, let’s get up first.”

As he got up from his seat, Dimitri hesitated for a moment before uttering with a prim face.

“The wife will manage the annex from now on, since I don’t even want to manage this matter. I’m not going to draw a line on the ground and go over it. If your hobby is to rescue cat shapeshifters, I won’t stop you.”

For a moment, my head went blank.

He continued bluntly to me, who only blinked my eyes with a bewildered face, “…Well, it’s not that I’m doing anything bad. Originally, nobles were very interested in philanthropy. It’s, it’s not for the wife.”

“Thank you… huh?”

Tears unexpectedly fell from my eyes. I was confused, not realizing that tears had fallen on my lap. It was only a moment later that I realized that I was crying.

Dimitri was staring at me in embarrassment.

“Are you crying?”

“No, it’s…”

Embarrassed, I quickly wiped away my tears and smiled.

“I’d like that a lot.”

Even though I thought it would be nice to have a home where I could bring homeless cats to my heart’s content, my wish came true so suddenly.

It really felt like a dream.
