Hey, butler. Please stroke my hair a little longer. Yes, right there. Iâve put up with that noisy womanâs babbling. I feel sleepy.
Ugh? Oh yes, she loves me so much. Look, she canât take me out of her arms even now⦠Ugh?
âIâm going out, Luna.â
Man, youâre bad, butler. I wanted to play with you since itâs been so long. If you are in a high position, you just relax and deserve to be served like me. Why are you so busy? Besides, you donât play with me much these days. You are not serving me, either. Iâm mad at you now. Iâm serious. I wonât give you a pass this time.
Ugh? Are you asking me to follow you?
Well, I can be generous enough to go along with you, but no thank you. Iâm not going.
Why? Well, in fact, I secretly followed you to the palace to surprise you. But I felt so dizzy when large houses passed by me so quickly⦠What?
Nope! Itâs not because I was scared at all. Nope! You wanna smack in the face?
Thatâs enough. Do you think Iâve got nobody to play with other than you? Iâm Luna. I can get by without you, my butler!
Let me see who is here I can play with.
Oh, yes, come on, maid. Let me take time out to play with youâ¦Where are you going? You arrogant servant! How can you sigh at me when you are the butler of my butler?
Damn it, Iâve got no other choice then. Iâve got to go and see something that smells sweaty. Hey, you, look at how Iâm doing. Okay, let me move to that tree and jump.
Ugh? You canât do it by simply moving your body?
Hey, Iâm a cat, not the wind! This is something that ordinary cats canât do!
Sorry because you didnât know that? It was cool?
Of course. Only now do you appreciate my dexterity!
Wait a minute. Where am I now? Oh, yes, Iâm so smart!
Hey there, you sweaty man. Come on and serve me. Put down that glowing lump of iron.
Why are you avoiding me again? Be grateful to me when I take time out to play with you? Are you running away from me?
Damn it, Iâm really angry. Iâm serious. Iâm going to be very unruly starting today. You wonât get away with this. Let me get even with my butler first who betrayed me. Whatâs the best punishment? It seems she values the music box very much these days. Can I smash it? Or can I leave my paw marks on her favorite hair tie? Hey, you, give me your opinion instead of sitting there blankly.
âDid you escape the mansion again? What if you get lost?â
Oops! Why did you find me now? My hair was also dishevelled. What should I do? I must look ugly. Oh, no. Let me wash my face firstâ¦Oh, shucks!
I love my butlerâs arms, but this is the best. Warm, secure and broad⦠I really like it. His touch is warm and his arms are really strong.
Meowing, Iâm so excited! Iâm happy.
Ugh? Who is this man Iâm talking about?
Didnât I tell you before? I donât fear anybody except for one person. This is she. I hear she has a very high position. Besides, she is so good-hearted and kind. I feel jealous when I look at the way she treats the butler.
How about it? Itâs only natural I feel envious of her, right? Besides, her hair color is silvery like mine. Yes, this is what they call a perfect match!
By the way, why are they looking at me like that? Is this the first time you guys have seen a cat? How come you guys who look busy all the time are gathered here?
Oh no, itâs important I should be with my butler now. Iâll see about you later.
Meowing! I like it so much here. Wow, she really looks nice. I canât take my eyes off her. Yes, I mean itâ¦By the way, I feel so sleepy. I should not go to sleep yet. I want to keep looking at themâ¦
âShushâ¦â Where am I now?
Ugh? I didnât go to sleep. Yes, Iâm serious. By the way, where is my butler?
Hey, wind, do you know where she is?
What? She left a while ago?
Hey, you should have woken me up ⦠Oh, wait a minute. I didnât sleep.
Then why didnât I see her leaving? Well, that could happen.
Oh, maybe I dozed off briefly. So what? Is it a crime for a cat to doze off? Why are you trying to pick a fight with me?
Wait a minute. Why are they avoiding me again? Do you think I canât catch up with you? Look, Iâve got four legs when you guys have only two. I can quickly catch up with you if I make up my mindâ¦By the way, what is that? That red and round thing.
Ugh? Guess what?
Well, let me see. What the heck is this? Strange. I didnât hit it hard, but why is it running away?
Hey, you red one, stop there! Youâre running again! Canât you stop there? I wonât hit you.
I got you! There is no point in you running. By the way, what the heck is this? I feel good because itâs fluffy, but itâs not as soft as my hair.
Ugh? Youâre running again? Stop there!
Hey, help me! Bad butler. Why donât you appear when Iâm in difficulties like this? You donât have the qualifications to be my butler. Youâre not qualified!
Well, I canât stand it anymore. Let me have it out with you today. Iâve been telling you all along. Iâm really mad at you. Iâm not going to play with you anymore. And I wonât call you my butler anymore. You know, once I make up my mind, I really mean it.
âLuna, you are here. How are you today? â
Oh, she is my butler. Ummâ¦Smells good. Oh no, Iâm really mad at you! Donât pretend to be friendly to me. Donât touch me! God away!
⦠Ugh? Are you really going? Oh myâ¦
How can you go away like that? You are so mean. A cat can get mad like you.
Wait a minute, are you crying, butler? Are you sad because I didnât play with you?
Hey, my butler, please donât cry. Iâm going to forgive you because Iâm a good cat. But donât do it again next time. Got it? I wonât scold you even if you leave me alone. So, please donât cry.
Now, look at this. This is what I caught. Itâs become smaller, but I caught it. Why donât we play with this?
Look, if I hit it like this, it moves away like that. I can hit it like this, then I can snatch it by quickly grabbing it like this. Iâm cool, right?
âOh, Luna, you were playing with the wool. Wonât you play with me?â
Oh, you stopped crying, butler? You wonât cry anymore, right? See, you need me beside you. Even though you are not satisfied with me, what can you do? Iâm generous enough to understand you.
Oh, butler, you are good at throwing it. Wait a minute. Let me catch that red thing for you. This is easy⦠Hey, donât throw it again. Itâs hard for me.
âWhy donât you sleep, Luna?â
Oh, yes. You looked a bit poor today, so Iâll protect you today. Trust me, Luna.
I feel so warm, and smell good too. Youâre my best. Sure, you are my one and only butler.
Oh right. Iâll bring you something delicious tomorrow. Let me give it to cheer you up. So, take it with gratitude, okay?
Ha-am. I really want to go to sleep today. Good night, butler. Today, Iâll allow you to dream.
Ugh? Who are you? I thought you left already, but you didnât? I didnât know it because I was busy playing with my butler.
What? Are you upset? Who cares?
Hey, go away quickly. Otherwise, you will wake up my butler. Donât hang around a ladyâs room.
Good. Goodbye. Let me allow you to have a dream, too.
What? Do you want to come here to play with me sometimes?
Of course. You know Iâm so busy, but I can play with you once in a while. Take it as an honor. I, Luna, donât play with just anybody.
Okay. Good bye.
