Remilia's statement left Sakuya momentarily stunned. Why did the conversation suddenly shift to the topic of breasts enlarging through kneading?
Could the Mistress believe that her chest has grown because she's been kneading it? Sakuya thought about this possibility and concluded that it was highly likely; otherwise, there was no explanation. It seemed the Mistress had also heard the rumor about kneading breasts to make them larger.
"I… I don't know much about that, but since there's a rumor about kneading breasts to make them bigger, there might be some truth to it."
"Kneading really works?!" Remilia looked astonished. She clearly hadn't heard of this rumor, so did that mean it wasn't her imagination? Her chest really had gotten bigger?
"There is such a rumor, but its authenticity cannot be guaranteed." Sakuya looked at Remilia, confused. She realized her Mistress didn't know about the rumor, so why was she kneading her chest and thinking it had grown? Sakuya shook her head, dismissing the question. As a maid, she didn't need to pry into her Mistress's issues; it was beyond her duty.
"Hmm, I see." Remilia nodded. This rumor was a pleasant surprise to her. In that case, with Kars's help, letting him knead her chest every night while sleeping would eventually make her chest bigger, right? Remilia felt much better thinking about this. Sakuya didn't understand the whole situation, but she was just happy that her Mistress was happy.
Sakuya silently watched Remilia change her clothes and walk out of the bedroom with a smile. It looked like she would be in a good mood all day. Flandre couldn't help but be curious about why her sister was so happy, but the answer she got was that she wasn't allowed to know yet, which made Flandre unhappy.
"What is it, Sister is being like this again!" Flandre was dissatisfied with Remilia's answer. It felt like her sister just didn't want to tell her. Flandre made a face at Remilia and ran off. When Kars returned, she told him about it.
"Kars, don't you think Sister is mean? She has something happy going on but refuses to tell Flandre. It's so annoying." Listening to Flandre's complaints about Remilia, Kars scratched his head and didn't reply. He wasn't sure what to say. He couldn't say anything bad about Remilia, either; that wouldn't be right.
"Don't worry about little things like that, Little Auntie. You also have secrets you haven't told Little Auntie Remilia, right?"
"That's true. That makes things even with Sister." Flandre agreed that the secret game she and Kars played was something she hadn't told her sister. So, she wouldn't complain anymore. Anyway, whatever made her sister happy couldn't be as good as what made her happy. Thinking this, Flandre pulled Kars toward the Great Library.
In the Great Library, Koakuma was organizing books when she saw Flandre drag Kars inside. She felt something interesting might happen, so she secretly followed them. In a relatively hidden spot, Koakuma saw Flandre and Kars kissing.
This sight surprised her somewhat. She hadn't expected to see this. Lady Remilia had previously warned Flandre not to do this, yet she had started doing it secretly again. It was truly unexpected. If she weren't currently being punished by Lady Patchouli, she might have gone over to do something instead of just watching. But once the punishment was over, there were definitely things she could do. So, Koakuma didn't watch for long and left. When the two reappeared, she still pretended not to have noticed anything. After all, anything she did now was useless, so it wasn't too late to act when the time was right.
Thinking about the situation after her punishment ended, Koakuma couldn't help but smile.
"Koakuma, what are you smiling about?" Patchouli heard Koakuma's laughter and saw her smile, wondering if she was thinking about something bad.
"N-nothing, Lady Patchouli! I was just being silly." Koakuma immediately replied, snapping back to attention.
"I really can't feel comfortable about lifting the spell I put on you." Patchouli felt that if she lifted the spell, Koakuma would immediately rush off to do something.
"No! Lady Patchouli! Please don't do this to me!" Hearing Patchouli say that, Koakuma immediately burst into tears and ran over to her. "If this continues, someone is seriously going to get hurt! And… and Lady Patchouli, you've done that kind of thing yourself… so please turn a blind eye to my situation…"
Koakuma's voice got quieter toward the end. Patchouli didn't react much to this. Since Koakuma knew about her kissing Kars before, she hadn't been trying to hide her subsequent actions much. Besides, even if Koakuma knew, there was no way she would tell Remilia, so there was nothing to worry about.
"Koakuma, what's wrong?" Kars, hearing Koakuma's distressed cries from afar, came over to ask about the situation.
"Nothing. Koakuma is just making noise for no reason. Don't worry about it." Patchouli explained, and Koakuma nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Kars, you don't need to worry. Nothing is wrong with me."
"Oh, right, Patchouli, I wanted to ask, when does Koakuma's punishment end? It makes me uncomfortable seeing Koakuma wanting to hug me but having to stop herself. So, can I plead for her?"
Listen to that! What a great little boy! Not only cute, but kind-hearted enough to plead for me! Of course, I love him! This is so touching! Koakuma thought, wiping the corners of her mouth in emotion. After my punishment ends, I must take good care of Kars.
Patchouli saw Koakuma's action and could easily guess what she was thinking. Kars, however, was confused about why Koakuma was wiping her mouth. Is she thinking of food when she looks at me?
