I Wouldn't Laugh Like This

After the explanation, Tohno Akiha left the Tohno family, accompanied by Hisui.

Although he is the current head of the Tohno family, Tohno Akiha is only sixteen years old and still has to go to school.

Fang Li, under Kohaku's guidance, began to familiarize himself with the affairs of the mansion.

However, Fang Li seemed somewhat distracted throughout the entire process.

This made Kohaku angrily speak up to Fang Li several times.

"Mr. Fang Li, if you keep not paying attention, I'm really going to ignore you!"

Seeing that Kohaku seemed to be really getting angry, Fang Li could only smile wryly.

"I'm sorry," Fang Li said helplessly to Kohaku, "I was just thinking about what Miss said earlier."

Upon hearing this, the anger on Kohaku's face gradually subsided. After a long silence, she said, "Are you thinking about Master Shenjiu's matter?"

Fang Li raised his eyelids and looked at Kohaku.

Kohaku's expression appeared somewhat complicated.

This was the first time Fang Li had seen such behavior in this lively and cheerful girl.

Fang Li hesitated for a moment before asking Kohaku, "What kind of person is Tohno Shinku to you?"

"What kind of person?" Kohaku smiled wryly, somewhat troubled, and said, "Even if you put it that way, I don't know how to answer you."

"Don't know?" Fang Li pressed, "What do you mean?"

"It's very simple," Kohaku said. "Because I don't know what kind of person Master Shenjiu really is."

"You don't know?" Fang Li was stunned.

This was yet another unexpected event.

Based on his memory of the original work, Fang Li knew that the twins, Kohaku and Hisui, had been brought to the Tohno family by Tohno Shinku when they were young, and were raised as servants exclusively for the direct descendants of the Tohno family.

How could someone like Kohaku not know what kind of person Tohno Shinku is?

However, upon further reflection, Fang Li understood.

Tohno Akiha has already said, because of Fang Li, Tohno Shinku has not returned to the Tohno family for many years.

In this way...

"I rarely see Master Shinkyu." Kohaku smiled at Fang Li. "Although it was Master Shinkyu who brought me and Hisui to the Tohno family, he rarely came back after that. Sometimes he would only come back once every two or three years, and it was always to deal with family matters. Even Miss Akiba only met him a few times. After that, I almost never saw Master Shinkyu again."

Just as I expected.

Since they had never met again, Kohaku naturally had no idea what kind of person Tohno Shinku was.

"In fact, Mr. Fang Li probably meets with Master Shen Jiu more often than we do, right?" Kohaku secretly observed Fang Li's expression and said cautiously, "After all, Master Shen Jiu has been pursuing Mr. Fang Li all these years."

"...Is that so?" Fang Li rubbed his temples, looking a bit of a headache, and said, "If that's what you think, then let's just say that."

"What?" Kohaku asked curiously, "Could it be that Mr. Fang Li has also not met with Master Shen Jiu?"

"Of course." Fang Li glanced at Kohaku and said with a half-smile, "If you really saw him, that guy didn't just die suddenly, he was killed alive."

"Uh..." Kohaku was speechless on the spot.

"What?" Fang Li said with a hint of amusement, "Finally starting to feel afraid?"

"No... no," Kohaku turned her head away guiltily, saying insincerely, "Why... why would I be afraid?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Fang Li said bluntly, "The person standing in front of you is the last descendant of the legendary Assassin clan. He doesn't know anything about anything except how to kill."

This is the current situation.

Anyone would feel afraid to be alone with the orphan of a Killer Demon clan.

Not to mention, Kohaku was just a young girl.

However, Kohaku smiled upon hearing Fang Li's words.

"Mr. Fang Li is quite the joker," Kohaku said with a nonchalant smile. "I know you're not the kind of person who would kill someone without a reason."

"Oh?" Fang Li was surprised and asked, "Why do you think that?"

Kohaku smiled brightly, put one hand on her hip, and raised the other hand, holding up a finger and playfully pressing it against Fang Li's cheek.

Immediately, Kohaku said this with a big smile on her face.

"Because that kind of person wouldn't smile like Mr. Fang Li."

After saying those words, Kohaku turned around, humming a song, and left as if she were in a good mood.

Watching the Kohaku gradually disappear into the distance, Fang Li frowned and muttered something in confusion.

"So how did I laugh?"

With this question in mind, Fang Li followed Kohaku.

Actually, Fang Li was not unfamiliar with the work of a butler.

In the Armed Detective High School, there were often missions where we had to disguise ourselves for Stealth Investigation.

Therefore, the Armed Detective High School has special courses that allow armed detectives to learn all sorts of miscellaneous subjects so that they can successfully disguise their identities and carry out Stealth Investigation.

Among these is instruction in deacon duties.

In addition, Fang Li had also performed one or two missions disguised as a butler, so Fang Li was naturally familiar with the affairs of a butler.

Therefore, even when he was distracted, Fang Li quickly grasped the affairs of the Tohno family, which surprised even Kohaku.

Time passed by as Fang Li gradually became familiar with the affairs of the mansion.

Before long, evening finally arrived.

Is it here?

Following the address provided by Kohaku, Fang Li arrived at a school.

This is a high school located in Misaki City.

It was during school dismissal time.

Students in uniforms emerged from the campus and passed by Fang Li. Occasionally, some would cast curious glances at Fang Li, but none would linger.

Fang Li, equally oblivious to the stares of the students around him, stood at the school gate, waiting for his target.

Gradually, the number of people around them began to dwindle.

As dusk settles in, the campus begins to be enveloped in tranquility, causing the presence of strangers to fade away.

Fang Li stood there waiting, even though no one else came out of the school, he just stood there quietly.

"Um?"

At one point, Fang Li noticed footsteps, looked up, and gazed ahead.

"Well?"

Almost at the same time, inside the school, a boy who slowly walked out also looked up and saw Fang Li.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Seeing the somewhat stunned boy, Fang Li couldn't help but smile.

"We've finally met..."

"Tohno Shiki..."
