Chapter 37: Ko-chan’s New Power (3)
Matsuko was drinking tea in the foyer while Naruyo was sewing one of my outfits at the table. I woke up in bed after my bath, so I figured it was Matsuko that moved me.
"You're awake, did you sleep well?" Matsuko smiled sweetly at me. "Careful on the tile if you're going to walk like that. Don't slip and hurt yourself."
I looked down and saw myself. I was naked, and walking on my tiptoes due to how my ankles were locked in place. "Ah, don't worry, I'm quite confident in my balance, even in bare feet."
"If you say so. Come over here, Ko-chan. Are you ready to resume your training?" Matsuko patted the couch next to her.
"I'm ready. I won't take a shortcut again." I nodded my head.
"Oh, you don't have to worry about shortcuts. I'm taking precautions this time." Matsuko smiled. "Now, let's get started. Open up~" She held out the muzzle and I opened my mouth. She pushed it in until I could feel it pressing against the back of my throat.
"Now, [Bite.]" I could feel the difference this time. When she used her command word, I could feel the magic infused into the word travel across the room to me. When the magic entered my ears, my body immediately reacted, biting down on the muzzle and locking my jaw down again.
Her finger lit up with magic which she pressed against my forehead. I could feel the strand of magic enter my body and swirl around inside my head. It lengthened and spun around my head in a certain pattern, and when it settled, it formed thin bands of rune symbols on my face and head. I could see in the nearby mirror that it had formed a glowing head harness on my face that was slowly pulsing with magic. I reached up to try and pull it away, but it was like it was blended into my skin and a part of it.
"It's not just visual, wait for it to finish settling." Matsuko smiled at me as she waited for the magic to complete.
After the last line finished forming the full harness on my head, I could feel my entire jaw pulled together. The command word was powerful, but it only lasted for a minute or so before its effect faded. This magic harness felt like it was getting cranked down around my entire head. After a few minutes, the magic lines faded, but the pressure remained, holding my jaw closed with even more force than the command word did.
"This law will act as a little bit of security. Even if there was someone who wanted to remove your muzzle, you could not open your mouth to let them pull it out. See? Like I said, you won't be able to skip out on training this time." Matsuko patted my head and rubbed it. I reached around my face, but I couldn't feel any straps or harness with my hands, even though I could feel the pressure of the straps pressing against my head.
Matsuko smiled. "Now, let's move onto the next step. [Make fists.]" I saw the magic travel again, and the second it reached me, my hands instantly clenched into fists. I turned them around back and forth, but I couldn't move my fingers at all. Matsuko's finger lit up again, and she pressed against my wrists this time. The magic expanded and covered my hands before compressing and hardening. I could feel the firm but gentle pressure that was like the mittens, but I could clearly see there was nothing on my hands yet.
"You probably figured it out, but these laws will keep you from opening your hands, even if you somehow get out of your mittens and armbinder. You haven't managed it so far, but there's no reason to take chances, right?" She gave me a little kiss on the cheek as I rubbed my fists together fruitlessly.
"This is a little creation of my own." She grabbed my hands and they erupted into flames which covered my arms all the way up to my shoulders before dying down. What was left was tightly wrapped layers of some kind of fabric encasing my arms.
"I call it Flame Tape. Stronger than bullet-proof fabrics, almost impossible to rip, and sticks stronger than super glue. And the best part is it doesn't hurt when you move your arms or remove it. It's the best way I know of to tame pesky little hands. Of course, you only need a single strip wrapped around the hand to make it helpless, but I gave you a triple layer all the way up to your shoulders just because I like you so much." She gave me another kiss on the cheek which caused me to blush. I looked at my hands again and rubbed them together again but now the tape constricting my arms made it slightly more difficult to move and bend my elbows and wrists.
"I think you'll find you simply do not have the tools to remove it, Ko-chan~" She picked up the mittens from the table and held them out for me "Now, in you go." I had no reason to resist, and pushed my arms into the mittens. They slid in even easier now that my arms were already wrapped in tape. A few clicks later and both straps on each glove were pulled tight.
She moved my arms behind me and pressed them together, and I could hear the clicks holding my arms in place. "Are you getting used to the feeling of laws on your body, Ko-chan? You already have quite a few, so you won't mind one more, right?" She held up both index fingers, which spun with magical circles. She pressed on both sides of my arms at the centerpoint between my elbows and shoulders. I could feel the magic streaming in, far more than was needed for my hands. The magic formed a thick band that wrapped horizontally around both arms and tightened as it started to settle. It split vertically all of a sudden, forming a set of five sets of cuffs spaced out along the length of my arms. The lowest was clasped around my arms near my elbows, while the highest surrounded my wrists and my arms right near my shoulders. Finally, thin chains of magic appeared and connected all the cuffs every which way, horizontally and vertically, before retracting and pulling all the chains and cuffs closer together. I could feel my arms being wrenched together even tighter as the law completed its construction and faded from sight. Even though it was no longer visible, I could still feel the cuffs and chains pulling on my arms to keep me from separating them.
She turned me around and examined me from different angles before speaking up. "Needs one more thing, I think, since we're using new tools today." I could feel her pat on my arms and I could feel the flames lick around my arms and back before dying out. "Much better. I love how this tape looks wrapped around your body, Ko-chan~" I looked in the mirror, and I could see my arms and shoulders completely wrapped in the Flame Tape. It was so tight that I felt like my arms were already laced into the armbinder, even though I wasn't wearing it yet. Based on the added weight, I imagined there were at least a dozen layers of tape wrapped around my arms now.
"Very cute. Now let's do your legs. Sit down over there." I stood up and as I turned, I saw myself in the mirror. Naked except for my arms, which were being held behind my back, it gave me a strange sense of attraction. I moved over and sat down on the chair across from Matsuko.
She picked up my legs and placed them over her knees. "This will raise the intensity of your agility training, you'll have to let me know how it goes." She touched my legs and they were engulfed in flame like my arms were. Soon, they were also wrapped in Flame Tape all the way to my thighs. I could feel my legs being constricted like my arms are and it made it a bit harder to flex my knees.
Matsuko pulled my boots up one by one and laced them tightly. A zip and a few straps made sure they wouldn't be coming off any time soon.
"Alright, Ko-chan, time for the main event. Can you stand up for me?" I stood up and backed away for Matsuko to get off the couch. She stood up, looked me up and down, then ran her hands down my sides. Her touch caused me to shiver slightly. "Your slender waist is one of my favorite features, do you know that? Shall I help you make it even more slender?"
Flames erupted from her hands, engulfing my waist for several seconds before fading. What was left behind was layers and layers of Flame Tape covering between my chest and hips. The tape compressed my waist considerably, cutting over a quarter of my original waist size. This tape corset also seemed considerably thick, made of dozens of layers of the magical tape. I could even feel it faintly shrinking, compressing my waist even further. "Ah, your beauty is shocking to my eyes, my dear." She made the motion like she had to shield her eyes as she looked at the results of her handiwork.
She walked over to the clothes rack and picked up a white garment. She brought it back over, and I could see that it was my school uniform, though slightly modified. Something was hanging from the front, around the neck region. I couldn't ask what it was, but Matsuko was happy to explain anyhow.
"Do you remember what you wore at the convention, Ko-chan? When thinking about how to keep you from skipping your training, this came to mind. Once it's laced up over your face, you won't be able to reach your mouth at all. And with locks on the back, you won't be able to remove it without my approval. What do you think? Quite effective, right?" Matsuko seemed quite satisfied with herself. "I went ahead and had Naruyo add the same thing to your other outfits too, so there won't be any issues even if we change to casual clothing."
...It seemed I was going to be silent for quite a while this time around. Well, I did ask for it anyhow. I smiled and nodded at her and pressed up against her body in a show of affection. She did her best to help me and always exceeded my expectations.
"Oh, feeling a little frisky, are you? Well, I don't mind. I'll make you mine one way or another in the end." Matsuko tilted my head up and gave me another kiss while massaging my breasts a little. After letting go, she seemed to think of something and smiled.
"There's no practical need for this, considering the other things I've added, but just consider it a symbol of my love, will you?" She tapped my nose and flame engulfed the lower half of my face, quickly leaving behind layers of Flame Tape in its wake. The tape wrapped around my mouth all the way from my nose to my chin, continuing from my chin all the way down my neck. It even wrapped above my nose and held my jaw shut even tighter. The compression pressed down on my lips and cheeks, keeping me from moving my mouth or lips at all. My eyes shrank from the sudden addition, which caused Matsuko to laugh. "How does it feel? There's enough Flame Tape on your face to make it almost a half a centimeter thick, I'd guess there were at least 25 or 30 layers total. No one will see the tape due to the face mask, so this will be just our little secret, okay?" I tried to nod, but it was a little harder than usual due to the thick tape around my mouth and neck.
Matsuko held up the tutu for me to step into, and I did so with my usual ease. She pulled and prodded to lace it down as tight as possible before pulling the zipper and locking the four buckles down my back. She didn't forget to attach the garter belts from the tutu down to my boots with tiny buckles, either. Next she pulled the armbinder over my tape-wrapped arms and repeated the process once again. Once the laces and zippers were done, she locked another four buckles shut around my arms from the integrated harness sewn into the armbinder.
"Alright, Ko-chan, last step~" She reached around my shoulders and pulled the rigid white leather over my nose and mouth. She laced it up tightly and zipped over the laces with a click. Finally, three buckles closed over the zipper with clicks of their own. She turned me around by the shoulders and took a once over of my costume.
I could see her eyes glow blue and she snapped her fingers, causing a wave of magic to flow over me. On each lock on my body, a tiny little blue shield appeared over the keyhole before disappearing. When the magic faded away, all that was left was solid metal, with no keyhole in sight.
"Ahh~ It's perfect. My own little Ko-chan, caught helplessly in my web, just for me~" She gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Now, how is it? Give me the first review."
It was... overwhelmingly tighter and more restrictive in every way. My entire body was a bit stiffer, due to additional layers of Flame Tape added. My arms were secure before, but I felt like if I had a friend with a knife and a little time, I could probably get free. Now, I wasn't so sure. Matsuko mentioned that I "simply didn't have the tools" to remove the Flame Tape, which meant that there was an unbreakable wall covering my arms, legs, and mouth.
Not to mention the laws she placed on my jaw and hands and whatever she did at the end, which I had no experience with whatsoever. I suspected that perhaps only Matsuko herself could release them. Finally, I didn't notice it at first, but my entire tutu, wings, and boots were faintly flowing with magic. I didn't know what it meant, but I could only assume it made them stronger and more sturdy. Could a knife even cut the fabric they were made of anymore?
I wiggled around a bit and tried to make some noises. There seemed to be some kind of muffling properties to the Flame Tape that weren't obvious before, because I couldn't even make the faint moans and groans that I was able to before with just the muzzle. I was truly silenced now. All you could hear was the sound of my breathing.
"Is that the sound of approval I hear?" Matsuko started teasing me again the second she was done. "Now, do me a favor and go see Hinari, I want to see if she can release you again this time~" She wrote a quick note on a slip of paper and taped it to my cleavage. With a little pat on my ass she sent me upstairs, but not before turning on the vibrators in and on my body. I almost fell down the stairs when they suddenly turned on, but I caught myself in time.
* * *
"Yes, who is it?" Hinari opened the door to find me standing there. She seemed a little stunned by my new uniform but she let me in regardless.
"Ko-chan? This is the redesigned uniform Matsuko gave you?" I nodded as well as I could. I shook my chest a little to show off the note.
"Hey, what are you trying to do by shaking your...is that a note?" Hinari took the note and read it. "Just try getting her out of this one ~Matsuko"
"Fine, let's take a look." Hinari examined my outfit closely, from the boots to the tutu to the wings to the face mask.
"Ma-chan.. are you mocking me? She's built like a tank now! No one could get her out of this tutu! Who asked you to use so much Flame Tape?" She grit her teeth and let her hand glow with magic. She placed it on my wings, but nothing happened.
"You... made the entire outfit out of Glacial Flamesilk? Ma-chan, what the hell are you thinking? Is this your way of giving me an impossible wall to scale?"
After a few more minutes, she slumped back onto the bed. "You can go back, I can't help you anymore, Ko-chan. I'm far too inferior."
I didn't like how she said that, but I had no way to communicate with her right now. All I could do was leave her behind in her room.
I, of course, could hear everything she said while I was inside, but I didn't understand what it meant. What was Glacial Flamesilk? Why did Hinari seem so frustrated? Why did she give up and claim to be inferior in the end? I wanted to find the answers, but I didn't think I could right now, I would just have to keep the questions in my heart until later.
