holding hands... lewd 😏
Don't forget her perents and the vast majority of her family died when she was rather young. Its questionable if the servents have the forethought, or even the ability to have that conversation with a young noble lady. So it would be exceedingly easy for her training to be deficient in a number of important areas.This really danced around answering why she reacted the way she did, does she actually think she is now pregnant? She may be knowledgeable and highly educated, but sex ed was very clearly skipped with her. And rather than just holding hands, she may actually think specifically matching vessels was the act of sex. One of the other girls really needs to check her knowledge on the subject.
Wait, what? As of which, um, part(?) I have only been reading the manga, and only up to chapter 47 of part 2. At that stage she is (physically) too young for the topic to even come up (well, by modern Earth standards).Hey now, this is nothing compare to

Where they actually make lewd hand holding a thing in-universe.

It annoys the hell out of me that Part 3 is already being published and translated, and the only solace I have is that I won't have to wait for chapters when Part 2 completes...
So, if I have the "pleasure" of seeing it, that will either be a "few" years from now... Or some time next week should I choose to do what I did with Mushoku Tensei or Death March to Another World Rhapsody, i.e. binge read the original material as far as it is currently translated, skipping anything that isn't actively reading (or physically required to allow me to continue reading)...IIRC
Happens somewhere during part 4 in the novel.
Also it's during an interlude so it's different characters doing this and not the titular book gremlin herself.
You can do something without knowing what it's called.MC: What's "matching vessels?"
Brantark: expository dialogue
MC: Now that you mention it, I've actually known what matching vessels is for a long time. In fact, I've done it with several people and already understood it well enough to know who it would or wouldn't be useful for. Thank you for explaining it to the readers for me.

Well to fair the noble society was written to be super ultra conservative in some respects. I believe after a girls coming of age cerimony, purposely showing off your sock covered ankles that was not your husband made you a harlot of poor up bringing with loose morals. Then again there was the noble speak where they like to obfuscate things with references to the Gods. I remember some romance novel that Rosemyne tried to write base off some fairytale, where she put things a little too direct such as a kiss or a caress and it was considered to be outright pornographic and was rejected by Ferdinand when she try to get him to see if the story was OK. It was very funny when somoene was able to point out her what the saying to dye someone it one's colors meant and it wasn't what she thought it meant after she stated that she was doing that with Hannalore or something similar what was done with the giving of name cerimony.
