Illimitable Until Death

Chapter 613: IUD-Chapter 611 A Person in Need of Care

Each wing is massive in size, large enough to function as a separate school building.

The wings are symmetrically designed with identical rooms, neatly organized like a hotel.

At that moment, the door to one of the rooms on the first floor of the West Hall opened.

Kohaku entered, smiled at Fang Li who was standing at the door, and spoke:

“Fang Li San, this will be your room.”

Seeing Kohaku welcome him inside, Fang Li felt a sense of déjà vu, remembering his arrival at the Roswaal Mansion.

Back then, Fang Li had been welcomed by Ram and given a room in the mansion.

The difference was Ram’s cold demeanor, while Kohaku’s constant smile created a feeling of friendliness.

The treatment was also completely different.

At the Roswaal Mansion, Fang Li was received as a distinguished guest and stayed in a lavish guest room.

Now, Fang Li would no longer enter the mansion as a guest.

As a result of their conversation in the reception room, Fang Li was hired by Tohno Akiha as a steward.

At that time, Fang Li had said:

“I just need a job.

I don’t need to live without worries.

I can’t stay here forever.

I will leave eventually.

So just give me a temporary job that pays.

As a result, Tohno Akiha hired Fang Li as a steward, essentially a butler, and allowed him to stay in the Western-style mansion.

Fang Li now found himself on the first floor of the West Hall.

This area was designated for the servants’ quarters.

As a result, Fang Li moved into the West Hall with his steward job and shared the first floor with Kohaku and Hisui.

Considering this, the room was not as luxurious as Fang Li’s quarters in the Roswaal Mansion, but still impressive, comparable to high-end hotel rooms, and superior to many household bedrooms.

“However, due to Akiha San’s hasty decision, this room has only been lightly cleaned and lacks much furniture and daily necessities.”

Kohaku smiled at Fang Li and said, “If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to tell me. We can have everything ready by tomorrow.”

Indeed, the room was sparsely furnished except for a bed, a wardrobe, and a desk.

However, Fang Li didn’t mind and said to Kohaku, “No need, this will be fine. Thank you.”

Upon hearing Fang Li’s words, Kohaku smiled and covered her mouth as if to be polite, saying, “No need, Fang Li San. You are my superior now. If the hospitality isn’t up to par, I could be punished.”

The so-called steward, strictly speaking, as the name suggests, manages the staff.

Although both are servants, the position is equivalent to that of a manager, assisting the head of the household in managing all affairs and supervising other household servants.

Therefore, as maids of the Tohno family, Kohaku and Hisui naturally fall under Fang Li’s management.

Of course, this management is limited to coordination; Kohaku and Hisui serve the members of the Tohno family, not Fang Li.

This made Fang Li a little uncomfortable.

(*It seems I’ve been spoiled…*)

Fang Li had been meticulously taken care of at the Roswaal Mansion.

Apart from Ram, even Rem took care of Fang Li’s every need, even helping him change his clothes in the morning, treating him almost like a master.

Being so meticulously taken care of by this almighty Oni maid made Fang Li feel a little uncomfortable, but that was normal.

By the way, after that, Rem would always ask to be praised by having her head touched.

This was the only reward this Oni girl wanted.

Every time Fang Li touched Rem’s head, the Oni girl would show a melting expression of happiness, cute to the point that words couldn’t describe it.

Thinking about it, Fang Li couldn’t help but smile faintly.

Seeing Fang Li like this, Kohaku stared at him in surprise and said, “Fang Li San is much more cheerful than I imagined.”

“Oh?” Fang Li replied in confusion.

“Why do you say that?”

“Because I’ve heard a bit about you from Akiha San,” Kohaku said somewhat hesitantly.

“Originally, I thought you might be more reserved, but it seems that you smile quite often.”

It was understandable why Kohaku thought that.

An orphan who had been hunted for years since childhood after his clan was wiped out, living a life like a hunted rat, even if he managed to survive and grow up, it would be impossible for him to be cheerful.

“Is that so?” Fang Li smiled slightly and asked Kohaku, “Do you think it’s better for me to be reserved? Or is it better to be cheerful?”

“Of course, it’s better to be cheerful,” Kohaku replied without hesitation.

“It would be so difficult to live with a constantly tense face. Like our Hisui Chan at home, Elder Sister and I are beginning to worry about her future.”

As she said this, Kohaku’s smile was as bright as a flower, but her words took on a different tone.

“Although that’s because I stole Hisui’s personality.”

With that one sentence, the atmosphere at the scene immediately dropped to the freezing point.

However, the next moment, that atmosphere vanished without a trace.

Because Kohaku said something like that.

“Anyway, after tomorrow, it should be a little harder for everyone.”

“Besides Akiha San, there will be another person in need of care tomorrow.”

Fang Li raised his head and looked at Kohaku.

“Another person in need of care?” Fang Li narrowed his eyes slightly and asked directly, “Who is this person?”

“It’s Akiha San’s elder brother,” Kohaku replied directly.

“He was originally the eldest son of the Tohno family, but due to certain circumstances, he was sent to a branch family to be raised since childhood. Akiha San intends to bring the young master back to live here, so we will have another tenant tomorrow.”

“So that’s how it is.” Fang Li nodded in understanding.

“In any case, Mr. Fang Li, please rest well today,” Kohaku clapped her hands and said to Fang Li.

“Tomorrow, I’ll come wake you up and tell you about your duties.”

With that, Kohaku left.

Leaving Fang Li alone, a slight curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.
