"Is this enough?" Kars's hand stroked Koakuma's thigh. Following her instructions, he stroked the outer side, then moved to the inner thigh, stopping just a few centimeters from her core.
"That's exactly right." Koakuma was very pleased with Kars's progress in technique. Kars's hands then moved to her buttocks, squeezing them gently but firmly, which elicited a soft moan from Koakuma.
"If Sakuya can handle this level of intimacy, then here's what to do next." Koakuma guided Kars's hand to grab her panties and pull them up, causing the fabric to rub repeatedly against her intimate area. This action quickly made Koakuma's panties damp.
"Hah… So, Kars, you understand everything now, right?" Koakuma stopped there. She didn't continue any further, worried she might lose control. Besides, teaching Kars these few methods was enough for Sakuya to adapt to; anything more might be too stimulating for Sakuya.
"Is this really enough?" Kars was surprised; he wondered if this was truly enough to help Sakuya adapt smoothly.
"Yes, it is. Just memorize everything I've taught you. This much is completely sufficient." Koakuma couldn't help but imagine what Sakuya would experience next. She really wanted to watch, but considering the potential consequences, she decided against it. She certainly didn't want to end up like Hong Meiling with a knife stuck in her head.
"I understand."
"Then I look forward to hearing your good news. If you feel this isn't enough, you can always come back and find me." Koakuma was very much looking forward to Kars coming back. If he felt this level of activity wasn't enough, she could take the opportunity to try more things and achieve some of her own small goals.
"Mhm!" Kars waved goodbye to Koakuma and left the Great Library. However, by now, it was evening, and Sakuya was resting. Kars didn't rush to try out the new techniques with Sakuya but returned to the bedroom to rest and sleep. It had been a long day, and he felt physically and mentally drained.
Kars fell asleep quickly. When Remilia came to bed, he didn't even grope her in his sleep, as was his habit, which actually made Remilia feel a bit unsettled. However, remembering the day's events, Remilia let it go.
After an uneventful night, Kars woke up the next morning and felt the air had cooled significantly. It seemed winter was approaching, and it might even start snowing in a few days.
After getting up, Kars left the bedroom and arrived in the Scarlet Devil Mansion hall, where Sakuya was, as always, already preparing things for him. Looking at Sakuya with her back to him, Kars remembered what he had learned from Koakuma yesterday. He trotted over and hugged Sakuya from behind.
"Good morning, Young Master Kars." Sakuya wasn't alarmed by Kars's embrace. But as she set the tableware, the hand stroking her thigh caused her movements to freeze.
"Y-Young Master Kars?" Sakuya lowered her head slightly, looking at the hand caressing her thigh. She finally realized what was happening, remembering their conversation from the day before, and allowed Kars to continue stroking her leg casually.
"Sakuya's legs are very comfortable to touch."
"Thank you for the compliment." Hearing Kars's compliment, Sakuya's lips curled into an involuntary smile. But as Kars's hand moved to her inner thigh, Sakuya's breathing became rapid. However, due to her training as a maid, her legs were held tightly together with no gap when she stood, limiting the area Kars could touch.
"Sakuya, could you spread your legs slightly?"
"U-Understood." Sakuya, whose body had become somewhat rigid, struggled to part her tightly pressed legs. When both of Kars's hands began stroking her inner thighs, the sensation made Sakuya lose her footing slightly, forcing her to brace herself against the table with both hands.
W-What is he trying to do? Isn't it too fast to start with this? Sakuya's mind conjured all sorts of images, but she quickly shook her head, forcing herself not to think of those things. That would only cause her nose to bleed. She absolutely had to restrain those thoughts, but it was incredibly difficult…
"Sakuya, are you alright?" Kars asked nervously, seeing Sakuya practically draped over the table. He stopped his actions, allowing her body to relax and catch her breath.
"I'm… I'm fine… Please don't worry about me." Although struggling to restrain herself, Sakuya forced a smile to reassure Kars, saying she was perfectly alright. After all, this concerned her future happiness.
"How about we stop here for now and try again later?" Kars suggested, looking at Sakuya's condition. He felt they should pause, or Sakuya might start bleeding again.
"Understood." Sakuya replied. However, she was temporarily too weak to stand up properly. Her current position, draped over the table, allowed Kars a perfect view beneath her short skirt. Her white lace panties looked exquisite.
Sakuya knew this position was quite shameful and impolite, but since the person looking was Kars, she only felt shyness and a hint of arousal, especially considering what was supposed to come next…
"Huh? Sakuya, what's wrong with you?" Just then, Hong Meiling, who was out for her morning exercise, walked by and looked confusedly at Sakuya lying on the table. However, seeing Kars standing behind her, staring at her exposed posture, Meiling immediately rushed over and covered Kars's eyes.
"Kars! You shouldn't look at that!" As she spoke, she lifted Kars and carried him aside. Just as she was about to say something to Sakuya, Sakuya, who had been lying on the table, suddenly stood upright as if nothing had happened. Even the blush on her face had vanished.
Hong Meiling knew Sakuya had used her time-stopping ability to recover during the pause. But why was Sakuya's gaze on her so menacing? It looked as if she were angry. Had Meiling done something to upset her?
Pondering this, Hong Meiling was completely bewildered and couldn't figure out what Sakuya was thinking.
