Ko-chan’s Chronicles

The faint sound of magic appearing and disappearing echoed like clockwork in the training facility underneath the dormitory.

The only sound that broke up the monotony was the sound of panting, and sometimes the impatient complaints of the other occupant of the facility.

"Come on, Hinari, hurry up, how many more do you have to go?" Sakari sat on a chair, frustratedly watching Hinari's training.

"No one asked you to get yourself tied up by Ma-chan. All you can do is sit there and wait. Or go find a desk to get yourself off to. Maybe that will calm your head a little?" Hinari gasped for breath as she continued to produce peanuts. Around her were endless piles of peanuts, filling most of the floor of the room with mounds of peanuts that could reach up to a meter in height.

Just as she was about to lay down and catch her breath, she realized the last peanut was far too heavy. Opening and closing her fingers, she realized the moment she was waiting for was finally here.

Instantly growing more focused, she realized this was the chance she was waiting for. She hid the scissors between her arms and her body and laid back. "That's it.. I'm exhausted. Do you want to take over for a while?"

"Do you even think that's possible? I don't have an inventory, you know." Sakari quipped back sarcastically.

"In that case... You'd better find something else to entertain yourself with, because I'm going to take a nap." Hinari yawned and stood up, heading for the door.

"Ugh...This is so boring. How does Ko-chan live like this." Sakari laid her head on the desk and complained.

"I reiterate. No one asked you to do this. You always get yourself stuck and then get bored a little while later. And then you bitch and moan until someone lets you out. You should probably fix this bad habit of yours." Hinari lectured her as she headed for the door.

"Well, see you tomorrow." She left the room and closed the door.

Hinari made it back to her room undiscovered and started cutting herself free as soon as she closed the door. Seconds later, her binds fell to the floor and she stretched out her limbs. She took her phone from her desk and sent a message. "... I finally made it, Matsuko... I took the first step..." She then set down the phone and took a long hot shower.

Matsuko put down her phone and smiled. The message "I knew you would. Come see me later and we will start the next step." was waiting to be read when Hinari returned.

* * *

The next morning, I was carried down to the foyer again.

Hinari was sitting on the couch fully dressed and looking extremely satisfied.

Naruyo looked up as we sat down and seemed puzzled, then her eyes spun with magic for a second. She frowned.

"Spirit fatigue. Another battle?" Naruyo seemed puzzled how someone could exhaust their spirit after just one night without anyone being the wiser.

"Couldn't fool you, huh? You noticed our condition in an instant. Why don't you tell them, Ko-chan" Matsuko laughed.

I blushed. "My Lady... marked me as hers..."

"Whatever that means, I think bragging about what happens in the bedroom is extremely unfair to us single ladies." Hinari teased a bit.

I blushed further. "T-that...um..." I pressed my legs together as I recalled all the 'fun' we had together last night.

Hinari sighed in frustration. "That one's on me, I totally deserve it. You two are insatiable, you know that?"

Matsuko rubbed my shoulders. "Why don't you show them instead."

I nodded, and released my spirit body. The tiny black light Kogamo with the white flaming tutu came out of my chest and spun around a little in lazy circles.

Naruyo turned serious in a second, and Hinari didn't seem to recognize the significance of what she saw.

"Spirit body. Formed this fast." Naruyo could barely believe it. She was about to speak more but Matsuko stopped her with a shake of her head.

I let the spirit body return to my chest and took a deep breath. I looked over to Hinari and smiled "Hinari-chan, you finished your training! Congratulations!"

Hinari smiled "Only the first step... I have a long way to catch up with you, it seems... If only I had believed her back then, I wouldn't feel so bad right now."

"You feel bad about finishing your training?" I didn't really understand

"No, no, you wouldn't understand. Pretend I said nothing." Hinari shook her head.

"Oh, here you guys are. Why did no one tell m---" Sakari came into the room, still naked and bound.

"Hinari! You traitor! How could you finish your training and not tell me!" Sakari immediately burst out in frustration.

"Well, you didn't ask, Sakari-chan~" Hinari seemed accomplished to hear Sakari's frustrations.

"Hurry up, let me go! I'm so tired of this already!" Sakari ran over and glared at Hinari.

"Sorry, Sakari-chan, I seem to have already returned the scissors to Ma-chan. You'll need to ask her if you want out. Maybe you can force her to orgasm first before asking for help?" Hinari continued to look smug as she rubbed it in Sakari's face a little more.

Sakari's face crumpled as she remembered that she had in fact taken some liberties with Hinari a few days ago, then turned around to look at Matsuko "M-Ma-chan, do you think you could help me out a l-l-little?" She tried to sound pathetic when asking for mercy from Matsuko.

"Sakari, why does it seem like everyone here is working hard except you? I know your power grows as you experience pleasure, but have you tried helping out instead of fooling around all the time? How about you do something to help out with Casino Night? If you promise, I'll give you the scissors." Matsuko lectured her on her laziness.

Sakari grit her teeth and made up her mind. She stood up and announced to the room, "I promise that I will definitely deliver a huge gift to Ko-chan at Casino Night." As she spoke her vow, the crystal chandelier reacted and created a rune collar around her neck. "Good enough?"

Matsuko smiled and tossed the scissors to her. "I can't wait to see what this huge gift is going to be, can you, Ko-chan?" I smiled and nodded. It would surely be fun to see what Sakari considered a "huge gift".

* * *

"Are you sure? You are taking a big risk." Naruyo seemed grim as she stood over Matsuko in her room. Matsuko held a strong front but Naruyo could tell she was hiding a deep weakness now.

"She is worth any expenditure. My spirit will heal in time. My Spirit Brand will protect her from any attack. Her safety is the most important thing to me." Matsuko laughed faintly.

"If you were attacked right now, It would be dangerous. You should have notified the elders." Naruyo frowned again.

"Do you think they would have approved? I still haven't told them about the Glacial Flamesilk I used to make her tutu. They surely would never allow me to spend so much on an outsider." Matsuko held a determination deep in her eyes.

"They will discover eventually. You must face them." Naruyo warned.

"By the time they find out, Ko-chan will be someone they can't help but accept. Not only will they not reprimand me, they will instead praise my insight. Just wait, old geezers. My cute little Ko-chan will blow your minds." Matsuko laughed villainously.

Naruyo asked one final question "Curious. Why use tutu? Why not armor?"

Matsuko's eyes gleamed. "Because she is cutest when she is completely restrained, struggling helplessly against her bondage. And I want her to always be in her cutest state. Once a spirit is branded, its shape can never be changed. The cutest, perfect little fairy. Forever and always."

Naruyo sighed. "Maiden in love. Cannot be stopped by anything. Beware, Spirit Brand. Not just one way. She will influence you. As you influence her." She walked out of the room shaking her head.

* * *

"Even with my spirit body, I still can't stand up to you. My Lady, I need even greater power to stand at your side. I still have the rest of this week before Casino Night, please allow me to attempt more training." I pressed up against Matsuko's body as I asked for help

"Even more? What could you even train at this point?" Matsuko seemed out of ideas.

I closed my eyes. "If I were to not look around long enough, would I be able to see without seeing?"

"You want to try and obtain spiritual sight? It's not easy. The first requirement is a spirit body, which you have, but most people have to sit in a cave for dozens of years focusing all their senses inward to even get a grasp on their spiritual sight." Matsuko explained the basics of what I wanted to attempt.

"All I can do is try. If it doesn't work, I can just try something else." I smiled happily, finally feeling like I could see Matsuko's back in my vision.

Matsuko smiled "Well, that's my training maniac. You know the deal. Once we start, I won't let you stop until you succeed, are you ready?"

"Yes, My Lady, I will not fail you!" Kogamo smiled and prepared to accept the new training.

Matsuko held up her hand and it started to glow with magic. The magic condensed into a small point, then engulfed in flames. The flames burnt for several seconds then dissipated, leaving a pair of tiny discs behind.

"I can't bear to cover up your beautiful eyes, so I created these for you. They are special contacts which will block your sight. I created them with Flame Tape, so once I put them on, no amount of rubbing will get them off. Now, come over here, and open your eyes wide." Matsuko held her hand up close to my face.

I stared at the tiny discs, and saw the outside of them. On them was the image of a pupil, but it was inscribed with a tiny magic circle. It faintly glowed and gave off a mysterious feeling. "This is... what people will see?"

"Do you like them? They will improve your cuteness by 20%" Matsuko smiled and held open my eyelid with one hand while the other brought the contact close.

"That's...a very specific number..." I steadied my nerves as she placed the first contact into my eye. I could feel it painlessly adhere as it did the previous times Matsuko used Flame Tape on me, and I found that I could see nothing out of my right eye. Seconds later she repeated the process with my left eye, and I was plunged into darkness.

"That's it, Ko-chan. Now your sight belongs to me, and me alone. If only you could see how cute you look with your new pupils." I felt arms around me and a tight embrace. I blinked several times as I tried to adjust, but my vision did not clear up or return. I shook my head slightly, and looked around the room trying to will myself to see through the contacts.

"How is it? Can you see through them? Did your power awaken?" Matsuko inquired as I continued to look around blankly.

"Not yet. Your contacts work really well, I can't see anything. I'm still trying to see through them by wishing I could see." I narrated my experience as I attempted various things.

"Maybe you should try building a mental map of your surroundings? Do you remember where things are in my room? Try walking around a bit and see if you can avoid bumping into things. Don't worry, I'll catch you if you fall." Matsuko stood up and removed the chair she was sitting on. I tentatively stood up and took my first blind steps around the room.

Normally, if one was in the dark, they would be waving their arms around to try and feel for things before they walked into them, but with my arms locked into my tutu's wings, I did not have that luxury. I tried using my legs to scan around in front of me before I stepped, but it was slow going.

More annoyingly, not being able to see things meant I couldn't keep proper clearance to let my wings move freely without constantly knocking on things. As I moved around the room, I kept feeling my body jerk left and right as my wings got caught on various pieces of furniture.

I remembered roughly where the furniture was placed in Matsuko's room, but I didn't remember the precise distances. By walking around and bumping into things, I slowly started to imagine the shape of the inside of Matsuko's room.

* * *

While I was still mapping the room, I heard a knock on the door and then a voice "Matsuko, I'm ready for the next step."

"Good. Come in and I'll explain what to do." Matsuko looked over to the door from the bed where she was sitting.

Hinari opened the door and came in just in time to see me walk into a chair and then take a step back.

"Ko-chan... is something wrong?" Hinari sounded worried, and I looked over towards the sound of her voice.

"She's having trouble getting used to her new eyes. I suspect it will be a while before she can move around like she could before." Matsuko explained shortly.

"New.. eyes? What do you mean?" I could hear her coming closer as she spoke, and then I felt a hand on my chin raising my head up. "....Magical pupils? How did you get these?"

"Not quite. Those are contacts I made for her which block out all sight. The pupils were my design, don't they enhance her cuteness?" Matsuko seemed proud of her work.

"Hmm.. they are quite enchanting, how do you like them, Ko-chan?" I could feel Hinari's breath on my face as she got close to stare at my eyes.

I blushed as she got close, "T-t-they're...good...t-thanks.."

"Ah, you're right. Much cuter like this." Hinari let me go with a little kiss on the forehead and turned to face Matsuko.

"Ma-chan, what is my next training?" Hinari regained her focus.

"How did you feel about the last training?" Matsuko questioned Hinari.

"At the start.. incredibly frustrating and tedious and I thought you were just fooling around with me for your own pleasure, but eventually, I could feel the changes happening. Removing the peanuts was smoother, and I found I could remove them more quickly and with less magic consumption. I was still exhausted by the end, but I felt like I had grown quite a bit, and the exercise seemed less futile." Hinari carefully examined her previous experience.

"It's good that you can so clearly self evaluate your progress. Prepare yourself, this next training will be even more frustrating and tedious." Matsuko smiled superciliously.

"Wait.. I understand the benefits of the training now, can't I just sit on the floor and store and retrieve the same object repeatedly? It would be much more convenient.." Hinari could vaguely sense what was about to happen and tried to preemptively object.

"Oh, and pass up the chance to see my friend's frustrated and embarrassed face as she works hard at her training? What a silly question." Matsuko approached Hinari like a predator about to pounce.

"Ma-chan, wait, when did you get like this? Ugh.. What a stupid question. You've always been like this." Hinari went through an entire journey inside her brain as she recalled her friend's capricious nature. After all, even Ko-chan's entrance into their circle of friends was all done on a whim.

Hinari was unable to avoid the inevitable, and with one quick flash of Matsuko's hand, her clothes were suddenly falling to the floor.

Hinari was shielding herself with her arms when she realized something she didn't expect. "Wait.. you didn't tie me up?"

Matsuko grinned "Are you that disappointed? I knew you didn't really hate the previous predicament~ I just need to do one thing first." She reached out and grabbed Hinari's wrists and they were engulfed in flame. When the flames disappeared, Hinari's hands were wrapped in tape up to the wrists.

"Flame Tape? Do you really have to go this far? No one can get this off but you!" Hinari groaned in annoyance.

"Oh, quit complaining. You got one little layer up to your wrists. Little Ko-chan's arms are covered in three layers all the way up to her shoulders." Matsuko motioned with her head at the blind fairy stumbling around the room.

"You used so much Flame Tape on her?" Hinari seemed a bit surprised to learn this new tidbit of knowledge.

"That's just the beginning. What I described is only about a twentieth of the total amount of Flame Tape on her body right now. On her arms, on her legs, on her mouth, on her waist." Matsuko was smiling with accomplishment.

Hinari shuddered involuntarily. "She's that mobile with that much Flame Tape on her? Is she the real monster?"

"Hey! I'm not a monster, I'm a cute fairy! Quit your slander this second!" I shouted over as I heard some damaging accusations from across the room.

"I guess her ears work better than her eyes do right now, huh?" Matsuko giggled softly.

Hinari sighed, unable to keep up with the speed of this conversation. "Fine, hands wrapped in Flame Tape. What now."

Matsuko smiled "Of course, you've already guessed this part, but I'm making some slight upgrades over last time. You may recognize this from the convention." She reached out her hand to the girl who shivered as she approached.

A second later, Hinari gasped in shock. She was wrapped in leather straps, and tiny metal locks dangled from each buckle. The straps formed a tight torso harness around her body, and her hands were held in the small of her back, encased in leather mittens and locked with more small padlocks.

"This is.. the mitten harness you brought back?" She twisted and turned, but, as expected, it held her tight with no chance of slipping free without the keys.

"That's right. I'm sure you've guessed it, but your goal this time is to get these out of your inventory." She jingled a small keyring, then turned to the side.

"Ko-chan, we're moving to the training facility, follow along, will you? I'll help guide you." She held up her hand and a thin stream of flames flew from her hand to the front of my neck. The flames evaporated, leaving a thin rope connected between Matsuko's hand and my neck. She tugged gently on the leash, causing me to stumble forward a step.

"T-t-this is..." I seemed a bit flustered once I realized that she had put me on a leash.

"Oh, bad memories of leashes, huh? Well, I'll have you get used to it before long." She caressed my face and tugged again, leading me along behind her as she went down to the basement training facility.

"Careful, Ko-chan. Feel your way forward to find the steps so you don't fall. Of course, fall if you like, but then I'll have to catch you and whisper sweet words in your ear all the way downstairs~" Matsuko simultaneously guided me forward and teased me.
