The Villainess Who Traveled Back in Time Inexplicably Lost Her Magic

Chapter 20: Rachel

"Black, let's play!"

Ten days had passed since Rachel first met Black. She was currently experimenting with different toys to get along with him.

By the way, Rachel thought that spirits didn't eat. However, when Samuel brought his handmade sweets to her room, they frequently disappeared. And when she looked at Black... there were crumbs of the sweets on his mouth.

Rachel asked Black if he ate it, but he turned his face away from her and replied with, "Nyaan."

Even so, Rachel was convinced. The criminal was undoubtedly Black.

Food wasn't necessary for spirits to live, but maybe they ate what they liked. That's what Rachel thought. Then she brought that up when Theodore came to visit.

"Ehh, spirits also eat, you know? You can't feed normal animals with sweets, but it won't harm the spirits. They like delicious things," Theodore said like it was something normal. But that shocked Rachel.

Spirits were usually temperamental. Even after making contact, they would immediately return to their forest. Therefore, most people didn't know about the daily life of spirits. You could say that a spirit like Black who stayed with the contractor all the time was rare.

But Rachel realized something at that moment. I see! I can get along with him using sweets!

Rachel often heard that the owner of pets often used food and snacks to interact with animals to adjust them to the new circumstances. That was a good strategy!

After that, Rachel tried to get along with Black using sweets. However, Black noticed that Samuel was the one who made the sweets. When Samuel came to the room, Black immediately approached him and rubbed his body against his feet. However, Samuel couldn't see the spirit. So the poor man could only tilt his head in puzzlement on Rachel's blaming gaze. Therefore, Rachel returned to the starting point, trying to get along with Black with his favorite toys.

Since he was a cat, then foxtail was the ultimate choice! Thinking so, Rachel brought a stick with a few fluffy white feathers in front of Black and waved it around.

"Black~ Black~ Let's play!"

Black glanced at her and turned away. However, he was bothered by the things that kept moving in the corner of his eyes. The moment Rachel moved the toy to make it look like it unintentionally grazed his feet, his forepaw moved in a whoosh.

However, Black's forepaw cut through the air.

Annoyed that he couldn't catch the toy, Black approached the foxtail toy, irritated. His eyes were fixed at the tip of the toy. Kuro repeatedly tried to catch it, pressing the floor with his feet. Hid figure was very cute.

"It looks like he likes it." Rachel was surprised to hear a voice above her head. She didn't notice anyone entering the room because her attention was entirely directed to Black.

Then Louis crouched next to her, his eyes squinted as he smiled gently. His blonde hair was shining brightly, bathing on the light from the window.

Yes. Today, Louis finally came to her mansion after a long time.

"I didn't know that Rachel likes animals this much."

"...I showed you my embarrassing side."

"No, I'm happy to see that. You forgot that I'm here, right? Just looking at Rachel being so pure makes me completely forget my daily fatigue."

"...Uu. Please forget it...," Rachel answered awkwardly, breaking into a cold sweat.

Then, Louis went right next to Black and kneeled. Not expecting that, Rachel turned her face to the ground and chuckled, her shoulders shaking.
