Some pretty big hands there, Patchy.

Hang on... *head melts*

It looks like she's reading a weird Braille book...

Either the mansion has no air conditioning, or the Lamp they're using doubles as a tanning booth.

I demand Ao Usagi makes more Patchouli and Koakuma pics like this (with a bit more of Koakuma), and he should also make some Byakuren pictures.
That aside, I don't think there's air conditioning in there.

looks like a sauna to me

Oh I get it, the mindfux is asking yourself why Patchy doesn't cast some weather manipulation or ice spell.

大図書館は地下にあるので風通しが悪く熱がこもる。加えて紅魔館には女性しか居ない為男の目を気にする必要がない。となると夏場はこのような光景が繰り広げられているに違いないと思うのです。え？魔法でなんらかの暑さ対策をしてる可能性が…？そ、そんな…そんなのヤダぁ!!

Something about the basement having poor ventilation.

Her left eye is soooo wrong...

Maybe it is just me having a perspective problem, but that hand seems to be really big and masculine...

That's her page turnin' hand. As you might imagine, it gets a lot of use.

The Great Library is in the basement, so the ventilation isn't very good and it gets stuffy. On top of that, there's nothing but women in the Scarlet Devil Mansion, so they don't have to worry about getting seen by a man. As a result, I think this sort of scene must definitely unfold in the summertime. Eh? There must be some kind of magic that does something to counteract the heat...? T-that's... nuh-uh!

Keeping hope alive.

Woah, I just noticed Koakuma in the background.

... Hot DAMN, Patchu. This competes with Colonel Aki's adult version Patchu for sexiest character ever.

... Hey, wait, how does she have a popsicle if there are no artificial cooling systems they can use?
