I Reincarnated As A Villainess, But Why Did I Become A Cat Butler Instead? - Chapter 64

Chapter 32.2

He looked down at the small cushion as if wondering if I was giving something like this as a gift. Seeing that, I felt like I had to explain something.

“If I don’t see him from the annex, I think he’ll be lonely. He became very close with me.”

“Close…?”

He suddenly chuckled and opened his mouth again.

“Did you ask the cat?”

“What?”

“That you’re close?”

“Do I really have to say that? It was obvious that he loved me just by looking at it.”

He tightened his coat tightly and shook his head.

“You’re very misunderstood.”

“….?”

…What is wrong with him? He had never seen me and that pretty gray cat together. Thinking that, I pouted my lips in discontent.

Then, he abruptly reached out to me.

“Give it to me.”

“….?”

At his words, I handed him a cushion and Dimitri shoved it into his pocket and uttered calmly.

“I’ll hand it over for you.”

I widened my eyes, thinking, ‘No way!’

“Do you know that cat?”

“….”

“Can I talk to the cat?”

“….”

“I’m jealous…”

He shrugged and strode forward.

I quickly followed him, trailing behind him and questioning him like an aggressive reporter.

“Is this the cat Dimitri cares for? What do you talk about with the cat? How old is Blue? What does Blue usually say, and what does he like? Can I ask how it feels to be born as a cat? How does it feel to be so cute?”

Dimitri lifted his shoulders high and hid his face between his lapels as if burdened by my continuing questions. It was like a tortoise with its head in its shell.

I could not stop being so curious about what the cat was talking about.

“Duke?”

“….”

“Duke…?”

Dimitri, who had raised his collar to cover his face, eventually turned his head around.

“I don’t know.”

“But you just said you were talking to the cat, didn’t you?”

“I never said anything like that. I just didn’t bother correcting what Rowaine was guessing.”

…Huh?

“Then, why did you take the cushion I made? You said you’d give it to the gray cat yourself.”

At that, my head was slightly bent to the side, and it seemed like it was almost going to get stuck to my shoulder. It was not just one or two questions that popped up in my head. Okay. All of a sudden, he took the cushion as if he was going to talk to Blue himself, and now, he said no…?

Dimitri shrugged his shoulders with a brazen face.

“I can’t remember what I said.”

“All of a sudden?”

“Yes.”

“You’re lying!”

As I shouted in protest, he chuckled.

“What if it’s a lie?”

Because of that, my mouth was wide open with the look of not knowing what to do.

“Well, if that’s a lie… You’ve got to get the cushion back!”

“I will.”

Even though he readily answered, Dimitri did not offer a cushion even if I reached out my hand. Question marks filled my mind.

“…When?”

“Someday before I die?”

“….”

It wasn’t funny. Either way, he walked forward gracefully with a stern face.

‘I wondered who the cat was, so shameless…!’

I stared blankly at the back of his head. However, was it because I was thinking of Blue? Suddenly, it occurred to me that his hair, mysteriously sparkling in the moonlight, looked similar to the blue fur that sat on the wall and greeted me.

‘The blue hair was so shiny… it looked like it was shining like that.’

From Coco and Sasha, I was able to assume to some extent the fact that the fur coats of the cat shapeshifters appeared characteristically even when they became human. Although Blue’s hair color and Dimitri’s hair color also look similar…

‘Is Dimitri… Blue?’

The next moment, I quickly shook my head.

‘No way, it cannot be. Blue has been friendly to me from the beginning.’

Was Dimitri not very cold to me when I first came here? He sent me to the annex without even talking.

‘Still, there was no reason for him to turn into a cat and come to me.’

I could hardly have imagined him playing with the fishing rod toy I had made, purring and showing affection like that. There was no way a man who was so arrogant enough to feel so elegant and cold could be like that.

‘Besides, Blue gets along very well with Coco.’

A couple of days ago, it was Blue and Coco who even played a joint hunting game with toys. Even though there was a bit of a fight with cat slaps in the middle, it was at the level of cuteness.

‘Yeah, Blue is Dimitri…? That is absurd.’

I laughed out loud at my absurd thought.

While I was alone in my thoughts for a while, it seemed that Dimitri strode as fast as he could and disappeared into the main entrance hall, so I missed him.

‘What…? Well, it is a cushion. I can make it again.’

The cushion I gave him was not a waste. Nonetheless, was it not absurd and surprising that he suddenly took it and didn’t return it?

‘…What is this?’
