Her trembling hand moved toward the buttons of her shirt. Pop, pop. One by one, the buttons came undone, and the thin shirt fell to the floor. Then the zipper of her skirt went down, and her pantyhose slid off as if slipping away.
Swish.
"At this point..."
The moment Seraphina tried to say something.
'...Now.'
[Activating the skill 'Bullet Time.']
I activated the skill.
It wasn't a waste. Since there was no battle to be fought, using [Bullet Time] was harmless. After all, this was an R-18 mode; perhaps I was making the most of its original purpose, wasn't I?
.......
The world slowed down.
Within the time that seemed frozen, Seraphina's appearance was truly a work of art.
The stockings falling toward the floor were drifting slowly through the air—that is, around her ankles. Her closed eyelids trembled languidly, and the discarded clothes formed a circle at her feet.
She stood before me wearing nothing but pure white underwear.
Crude, standard-issue underwear without a single adornment.
But the figure contained within was far from crude.
A slender waist, voluptuous hips, and above all, a bust that seemed ready to burst.
Her pallid, white skin emitted an ivory radiance beneath the light.
Thirty seconds had passed. Subjectively, it felt terribly short.
Pop—.
The world began to flow at its original speed again. Seraphina spoke in a voice filled with shame.
"...Is this enough?"
I had certainly seen more than enough.
"Yes, Captain. However, the heart and lower abdomen are also extremely important mana organs, so..."
Still, I took a gamble.
"You mean... the thing I'll have to accept eventually. Is that it?"
"Exactly."
Seraphina took the bait.
"Now, would you please lie down properly on the bed?"
"...Very well."
Seraphina approached the bed with stiff movements. When she lowered herself onto it, the old bed creaked. She lay facing the ceiling, both hands folded over her stomach. Her ample chest changed shape under gravity's influence.
I reached for her shoulder first.
The moment my fingers touched her, Seraphina flinched greatly. As I gently brushed her collarbone and upper arm, I activated the skill.
'Status Analysis.'
[Name: Seraphina von Reinhardt]
[Emotion: Extreme shame, longing for pain relief]
'Tuning Touch.'
[The skill 'Tuning Touch (Lv.2)' is activated.]
I activated [Tuning Touch], which had reached Level 2 as well. Immediately, frozen mana could be felt through my palm.
'...It's definitely working.'
The sensation was different from before. Previously, it had felt like simply sending a stream of warm water flowing, but now it was spreading with precision, as if traveling through microscopic tubes.
Sizzle...
The stream of water stretched along the small fissures of the glacier. As it passed, the glacier's cracks melted and the fissures gradually widened.
Fissures spreading out like a spiderweb.
Their scale grew ever larger, engulfing the entire glacial shoulder.
Crack-boom!
Eventually, the glacier that had reached its critical point shattered and collapsed. Where the massive ice had melted, a deep and tranquil lake, like a fjord, was born.
'So this is Seraphina's original mana... The scale alone is certainly different.'
Not only compared to my unawakened body, but it was greater than what I had felt from Hanna, an Awakened with [Mana Perception]. It was only natural, given that she was a combat-class.
And I intuitively realized.
'At this level... even a complete cure might be possible.'
Of course, I had no intention of doing so right now.
[Reconstructing the target's energy flow.]
"...Hnn, haaa...."
Seraphina exhaled a hot breath. With the sensation of her internal mana circuits completely unraveling and being reconstructed, she was letting all strength drain from her body. The two hands she had clenched tight from shame slowly relaxed.
My hand gradually moved downward. Gently brushing over her upper chest, I enveloped her entire breast with both hands. The sensation transmitted above the crude cotton bra cups was astoundingly soft.
"Captain, the lymph nodes in the breasts are also important parts."
"...I-Is that so?"
To my casually thrown-out words, Seraphina replied in a loosened voice. It was practically permission.
"Excuse me."
I pressed firmly with my thumb on the area where the nipple was located.
"Nn...!"
Seraphina's body trembled with a start.
"Does it hurt?"
"I-It doesn't hurt. It's just... nn...!"
She couldn't finish her sentence and turned her head away. Her face was completely red.
I squeezed and released my grip, changing the shape of the breast I held in various ways, and tormented the nipple through the fabric. It was quite addictive.
'Status Analysis.'
[Name: Seraphina von Reinhardt]
[Status: State of extreme relaxation, slight excitement due to breast stimulation.]
I checked the status window and moved my hand downward. Past her smooth abdomen and slender waistline, I circled around her smooth navel. Firm yet soft flesh pressed against my palm.
Rubbing around her navel in circles, I took in her body with my eyes. Aesthetically pleasing 11-shaped abs and a navel that looked delectable.
Right below it was a slightly protruding mound of the lower abdomen where the uterus was located, and below that, the protruding pelvic bones and the soft curve of the pubis continued.
[The skill 'Indomitable Mind' is active.]
[Suppressing unnecessary emotional agitation and inducing the most efficient thought processes.]
"...Huuu."
I took a deep breath and composed my mind.
"Now I will work on the lower body."
"...Understood."
Seraphina answered after a moment of hesitation. Since she had declared with her own mouth from the beginning that she would receive treatment on her lower body, she couldn't refuse.
I lowered my hand along the line of her pelvis. Passing the panty band, I stroked down from the outside of her thigh. My fingertips lightly brushed her buttocks.
I observed her panties closely. The outline of her pussy was faintly visible through the thin fabric. There was no dark patch indicating hair. It wasn't wet.
"Captain, would you please open your legs slightly?"
"...Nn."
Seraphina bit her lip lightly and obediently spread her legs. The boundary line of her panties along the inner groin and below the pubic bone was brazenly visible. The pinkish labia majora peeked out ever so slightly, but no hair was visible.
'Tuning Touch.'
[Makes the target's senses keen and induces a faint pleasure.]
Adding a tickling sensation, I rubbed the long-awaited inner thigh. Then, the soft flesh I felt.
"Hnng...."
Seraphina quickly succumbed to the sensation the skill provided.
"I-It's strange... Lieutenant. Something... tingling...?!"
Seraphina let out a moan.
[Status: Experiencing orgasm]
It seemed she had climaxed. The flesh of her inner thighs twitched beneath my palm. Her two legs instinctively clamped shut, trapping my hand, then slowly spread open as her strength faded.
"Captain, are you alright?"
I asked teasingly, already knowing the answer.
Seraphina barely managed to answer.
"N-No...!"
Swish.
Without waiting for an answer, I subtly moved my thumb. My fingertip traveled up along her panty line.
"It's nothing... hngh?!"
Beside the thin fabric, her plump labia grazed my fingertip. Far from resisting, Seraphina threw her head back.
"Kyahnn...♡!!"
Seraphina let out a sweet moan. Her body, sensitized from her recent climax, reacted greatly to even the smallest stimulation.
Changes began to occur in her panties as well as her voice. At the center of the pure-white panties that had been without a single stain, a small dot-like spot appeared, gradually growing into a line.
'This might work.'
I withdrew my hand and looked down at Seraphina.
"Haa... haa... haa...."
She was exhausted. She was breathing hotly from the pleasure the skill gave her. Perhaps her consciousness was hazy; there was no focus in her eyes. A completely defenseless appearance.
I slowly hooked my fingers onto her panty band.
"Excuse me. I need to check the affected area."
Seraphina, forced into the lingering afterglow by the skill, seemed unaware that her panties were being lowered.
Slip.
As the panties slid down her legs, a pinkish mound was revealed in contrast to her skin as white as white jade. The labia majora were smooth without a single hair, and only on the upper part was a small, faint inverted-triangle patch of hair. Rather than being groomed, she seemed to be naturally of a constitution with sparse body hair.
'So she wasn't completely hairless.'
They were simply so thin and light-colored that they hadn't been visible through her panties.
Below the silver inverted triangle, a small clitoris was peeking out slightly, and between the shyly closed pink petals, transparent love juice continuously flowed out from the recent stimulation, trickling down her inner thighs.
I swallowed hard and reached out.
Using my index and middle fingers, I gently spread the wet labia open. Squelch. Viscous love juice coated my fingers.
I aligned my middle finger with her vaginal opening and slowly pushed it in. Having inserted about one or two knuckles' depth, I felt a slight obstruction.
'Checking sexual experience.'
[Sexual Experience]
Kisses: None
Sex: None

Anal Sex: None
Other: No romantic experience, partial sexual experience (numerous physical contacts via Bioresonance Tuning Method with Max Jaeger)
"Haagh...?!"
Perhaps due to the unfamiliar foreign sensation, Seraphina twisted her waist. Only then did she seem to realize something was off with the sensation, and her eyes snapped wide open.
"Lieutenant... right now... where are you...!"
Seraphina hurriedly tried to raise her upper body. Her two hands instinctively grabbed my wrist. Despite the vigor, almost no strength was behind it.
I didn't back down. With my wrist caught, I slightly curled the middle finger lodged in her vaginal opening and scratched her inner wall.
"Hngh?!"
Seraphina's waist bent like a bow.
