Intermission: Achoo!

I'd Rather Have a Cat than a Harem! Reincarnated into the World of an Otome Game as a Cat loving Villainess — LNCrawler · All chapters

ONE afternoon, in a corner of the expansive garden of the Northlands’ royal capital estate, the gardener Rob and the butler Claude were discussing different plants, when suddenly—

“Oh, Tigger!” said Rob, looking up at the young mistress’s cat napping comfortably on a wide branch of an oak tree. “Going to house-sit from there again today?”

It was a pleasant time of the year, neither too warm nor too cold. A soft breeze rustled the leaves, and it sounded like a lullaby.

“He sure looks comfortable, napping up there,” said Claude.

Rob laughed.

“Watching him sleep almost makes me want to put down these pruning shears and have a little siesta myself.”

As Claude nodded and rolled up the ledger in his hand, he watched the roundness of Tigger’s back rise and fall softly. The sight of his long fur gently waving in the breeze made his eyelids feel heavy… It was probably not the best thing to see in the middle of the workday.

Just as Claude was about to look away, Tigger, eyes still closed, suddenly itched at his face, and then…

Achoo!

The cat jumped up, startled by his own sneeze, and looked around with eyes that were perfect circles. His golden gaze finally landed on the two men under the tree and transformed into an annoyed glare as he drew his own conclusions about what had just happened. Then he settled his legs under his chest and shut his eyes once more.

“Tigger, we’re not the ones who woke you up!” said Claude.

Rob laughed again.

“I don’t think we’ll be winning any arguments with him.”

For Tigger to sneeze out of the blue like that… Miss Amy must be talking about him right now at school.

And with that, the two men returned to their discussion of gardening.
