"It happened again… and this time it was Little Auntie Flandre?" Kars's expression was very complicated. Upon waking, his immediate check revealed he had done the same thing again, and this time the target was Flandre.
"I clearly took preventative measures while I was asleep! So why did this still happen?" Before going to sleep, Kars had crossed his hands and placed them over his waist on both sides, securing them by clenching his arms, and even used magic to hold them in place to ensure absolutely nothing could go wrong. Logically, he shouldn't have had any problems.
Yet, upon waking up, he was still biting his Little Auntie's breast, proving the method was completely useless.
"Why is this happening?" Kars scratched his head in utter confusion. Did his sleeping habit defy even magical prevention? Could only physical restraints work? Or was his magic too weak? Should he try asking Patchouli for help?
After settling on this as an idea, Kars got out of bed. The rare sunny weather today helped lift his mood slightly under the sunshine. He returned to the Scarlet Devil Mansion for breakfast. During the meal, Kars felt Sakuya's eyes on him, and when he looked over, he saw that Sakuya, who normally maintained an unflappable composure, had a trace of nervousness and expectation in her eyes, as if she was waiting for something.
Kars thought for a moment, recalling what Hong Meiling had said yesterday, combined with Sakuya's reaction. She must have been informed by Hong Meiling. Since it was already decided, Kars had no intention of backing out.
"Sakuya, can you come a little closer?"
"Yes!" Sakuya immediately responded. She slightly bent down, bringing her face close to Kars. She then watched as Kars kissed her cheek. An overwhelming sense of happiness instantly enveloped her entire being. Being a maid at the Scarlet Devil Mansion was truly a blessing! Though she still wished she could experience that mouth-to-mouth kiss from yesterday one more time.
Kars looked at Sakuya, who was beaming with happiness after the cheek kiss and hadn't collapsed from a nosebleed like yesterday. He felt relieved, as he truly dreaded seeing that scene again.
He then went to find Patchouli to solve his problem.
"Patchouli, isn't there any way to control this situation?"
Even if Patchouli genuinely had a solution for Kars's question, there was no way she would actually help him—that would defeat her entire purpose! However, this only strengthened her suspicion that Remilia was acting intentionally. She couldn't think of any other possibility, and this led her to believe that Remilia might know something but simply chose not to interfere. Thinking this made her feel slightly ridiculous. It wasn't like the Remilia she knew. Normally, she would have stopped this immediately, just as she dealt with the problem Koakuma caused without hesitation. But now she was…
It's an unbelievable turn of events…
"Patchouli?" Kars looked at Patchouli, who had suddenly gone silent, her expression confused. He didn't understand why she wasn't reacting after he told her his problem.
"Ah? Oh, I was just thinking about the most suitable method. But Kars, I don't think you need to worry too much about this. Look, did Remilia ever say anything to you about this behavior before?"
"No." Patchouli's reminder made Kars recall that Little Auntie Remilia should have discovered the situation, yet she never confronted him, didn't even mention it. It was as if nothing had happened at all.
"Exactly. She didn't say anything, which means there's no problem. It shows she doesn't actually mind, so I think you shouldn't concern yourself with it too much."
"Really? Little Auntie doesn't mind?" Although he didn't quite understand why, Kars felt Patchouli's words rang true. Little Auntie Remilia really didn't seem to care about the matter.
"Of course. So Kars, you don't need to stress over this anymore. Just continue as usual." If she actually helped him solve the problem, Remilia might come to question her, and that wouldn't be good. Furthermore, she now understood the situation a little better, and why Remilia wasn't stopping him. It was truly surprising.
"Now, Kars, come into my room." Hearing Patchouli, Kars realized she was about to teach him something again. He was a little conflicted, as problems always seemed to crop up after every lesson, which frustrated him. Still, he followed Patchouli into her room.
He watched as Patchouli took off her clothes, revealing her body clad only in panties. Patchouli truly rarely wore a bra now. Then, this time, he watched Patchouli place her hand on her purple and white striped panties and slowly pull them down. This was the first time he had seen Patchouli standing naked in front of him. Every part of her body was exposed to his view, and Kars suddenly felt nervous.
He wasn't sure why, but this wasn't the time to dwell on it. He watched Patchouli sit on the bed, revealing the area that was structured differently from his own, and use her finger to gently spread it open, seemingly showcasing it to him.
"Kars, come closer and take a good look." Being stared at so intently by Kars made Patchouli feel a little feverish and slightly excited.
Kars followed Patchouli's instructions and moved closer, observing everything closely and carefully from near range.
"Pa… Patchouli, why are you showing me this…" Kars's voice was slightly tense. He felt that this situation was even more unusual than anything before.
"What you need to do next is reach out and gently stroke here. So, put your hand on it now."
