Ko-chan’s Chronicles

After a slow walk, we managed to get to the basement. Matsuko looked around and then walked to the center of the room. She held out her hands and a magic circle roughly 5 meters in diameter appeared on the floor. After a few seconds, it erupted with flame and then it was gone. What was left behind was a large glass container that was taller than Matsuko.

"Hinari-chan. Your stamina has reached the bare minimum level now, but your control is still lacking considerably. Tell me, can you affect items that aren't within your grasp yet?" Matsuko turned from friend to mentor as she began her lecture.

"Not within my grasp? But I thought my power only worked if I could touch it?" Hinari seemed confused.

"Dear Hinari, you have no idea the true nature of the power you possess. Your goal this time is to still to withdraw peanuts from your inventory, but there's a twist. Your hands are taped up and locked into mittens, so how can you withdraw anything? Give it a try." Matsuko put a peanut into Hinari's inventory.

Hinari struggled a little bit, and then her hand lit up with magic, but after a second, the magic circle shattered and nothing else happened. "Um... I don't understand, Ma-chan.. I can't withdraw it because I can't open my hand.."

"Of course, you can't open your hand to accept the peanut, but that isn't the goal of this exercise. I won't let you open your hands until you complete the whole thing. Instead, try changing the location that you summon the item to. It will be more difficult the further away you want to manipulate something. Give it a little try." Matsuko explained the theory to Hinari.

After a few minutes of fumbling around and a few dozen shattered magic circles, Hinari finally managed to materialize the peanut a few inches from her hand. It floated to the floor and rested there until Matsuko picked it up. "It seems you've grasped the general idea. Now, you'll need a lot of practice to increase the distance you can summon to and from. Imagine this. You face down a crowd of people in a battle, but before they can even charge, their weapons disappear from their hands. What's worse, no matter where they go, rocks accurately rain down on their heads. Arrows and magic spells are fired, but before they can reach their targets, they disappear and reappear elsewhere, hitting their own allies instead of their enemies." Matsuko painted a picture of someone that could utterly control the tides of battle.

Hinari had a blank look on her face. "This.. is my power?" She seemed to be in disbelief.

Matsuko laughed and gave her a swat on her ass, "Of course not, right now all you can do is shoot peanuts from two inches away. You have a long way to go before you're a goddess on the battlefield."

Hinari yelped and jumped away from Matsuko "Gah, you spanked me! You haven't done that in ages!"

"Oh? I'll do it again, if you liked the first one~" She swung her hand and hit Hinari's other asscheek from where she was standing.

"S-s-stop! This has nothing to do with the training!" Hinari turned her ass away from Matsuko and tried to change the topic.

"Of course, you're right. That was for my own amusement. Then, your task is to get the keys out of your inventory by putting your peanuts into this tank. If the peanuts land anywhere else, they will end up back in your inventory." She stamped her foot and an enormous magic circle filled the entire room. She dropped the peanut in her hand and, when it hit the ground, it disappeared.

"T..this..this.." Hinari seemed intimidated immediately. "But that tank is almost twice my height!"

"That's right, you'd better expand your range quickly if you want to make any real progress, Hinari." Matsuko smiled and then held up the keys. "Here are the keys you'll need." She inserted the keys into Hinari's inventory.

"I think you'll find there's a secret final stage to this training. Even when you empty your inventory, you can't just use the keys with your hands stuck in those mittens. You'll need to precisely withdraw the keys in a position where they are already inside the lock in order to release yourself. If you dare to try and have someone else release you with the keys, those little spanks I gave you will feel like child's play. Also, if you try to withdraw peanuts outside the room, I'll also make you unable to sit down for a while." Matsuko explained the final bit of the training.

"Now, one last thing, the peanuts. Let's see.. here we go~" She held up her hand and a magic circle appeared. Hinari twitched and trembled a second later

"Ahh! Matsuko, you monster! You packed them in way tighter than last time!" Hinari stomped her feet and glared at Matsuko.

"He, he, your inventory space is also larger after your training, so I was able to fit way more in this time. I can't wait to see your progress! Good luck, my dear Hinari~" Matsuko smiled and waved before tugging on my leash and leaving the room. Hinari cried out in frustration as she was left behind.

Matsuko stopped when she reached the door. "Is it really that bad? I thought I was going a bit easy on you. How big a gap do you think there is between the current you and the image I made you envision a minute ago? On the field of battle, there will be endless distractions. If you can't focus and perform no matter the conditions, you'll be dead in a second. Maybe you need a little taste?"

Matsuko rubbed her fingers and Hinari started to tremble. She pressed her thighs together and blushed slightly.

"M-Ma-chan...Mistress...c-c-can't you just let me off this time?" Hinari struggled to ignore the faint buzzing between her legs and on her nipples.

"Of course, I'll let you off, you can stop this right now, as long as you're okay with a fate similar to Asami. Abandoned by everyone, a passive observer, no agency in her own life. Is that what you want? Even her family contacted me and apologized, saying they had nothing to do with her rebellious acts, and that they had disowned her from their heritage." Matsuko got serious for a moment, and waited for Hinari's reply.

Hinari shivered as she learned of Asami's tragic future. She grit her teeth and looked straight at Matsuko. "Sorry, Mistress, I lost my resolve for a minute. I will not let you down." She turned around to face the glass tank.

Matsuko smiled and muttered to herself, "I know. You will surely repay my investment many times over. Off we go, Ko-chan~" She pulled on the leash and returned to the dorm.

* * *

"It's not working. I have even memorized the entire layout of the dorm, but I still haven't felt any kind of new feeling." I complained loudly to Matsuko as my frustration bubbled over.

"Oh? Do you want to stop? I don't remember saying you were allowed to give up~" Matsuko gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"It's not that I want to give up... I just feel that my attention could be spent elsewhere. Maybe there is another power that is easier to acquire." I told Matsuko my current thoughts.

"If you want to start a new training, that's fine, but I took your sight, and I'm not giving it back," Matsuko said with firm determination.

"Y-yes.. My Lady. I still have other ideas for powers that I want to experiment with, but I can do them at the same time as my vision training." I sighed a little, but I understood her decision. I had asked for this, after all.

"Good. Let's hear your ideas." Matsuko stroked my hair as she listened.

"I'm already quite fast compared to my old self, but I'm still nowhere near as fast as Naruyo and you. I thought, perhaps if I make myself less mobile, I would be able to overcome that and get even faster." I told Matsuko my new idea.

"How much less mobile do you intend to make yourself?" I couldn't see, but I imagined Matsuko was smiling quite widely right now. She always became more interested when it came to my outfits and restraints.

"Hmm, I'm not sure. If I go too far, it will be pointless. I can't do anything if I'm totally locked in place." I thought about various possibilities.

"Shall we start by hobbling your legs then? You already experienced this a little back at the convention with the chain you had between your ankles." Matsuko turned me around in her lap so she could see my eyes.

"Yes, that sounds fine, My Lady." I smiled and leaned close to her.

"I'll talk to Naruyo in a bit." Matsuko did not push away as I rubbed against her.

* * *

"New boots. Additional attachments. Please examine." Naruyo laid out some new garments on the table.

Matsuko looked at the white boots and hobble skirt, then nodded. "Excellent work as usual, Naruyo. Can I ask you to make the same changes to your bunny suit design?"

"No problem. Will reclaim honor. One escape, last escape." Naruyo frowned and packed up her tools.

"I told Matsuko this already, to say I escaped before is incorrect, I actually just took off my outfit!" I corrected Naruyo's misunderstanding.

Naruyo came over and looked into my eyes from close enough that I could feel her breathing. "Losing by technicality. Still losing. New method. Just wait."

"...There's no need to be so competitive, Naruyo-chan!" I was crying on the inside, but I still didn't hold it against her.

"Seems you've sparked her determination now, Ko-chan~ The next outfit you put on might be your last~" Matsuko teased and sat me down on the couch.

"...So what did she make?" I couldn't see what she laid out on the table so I had to ask Matsuko.

"New boots, and some other stuff." Matsuko was intentionally vague as she started to unlock and remove my boots.

I couldn't really feel the boots coming off quite as well, due to the thick layer of Flame Tape on each leg, but I could still sense the loss of the weight associated with each boot.

"No need to mess up your cute tape stockings, is there? Let's move along." Matsuko immediately started placing the new boots onto my legs and then laced the first boot up.

"What's different about these boots compared to the old ones? They feel the same to me." I tried to figure out what the difference was, but I couldn't really sense any big changes.

"They are similar. I had Naruyo change the buckles on the old boots into integrated locks like your new gloves have." She finished lacing up the boots and locked the ankle and thigh bands.

"This has the added benefit of leaving space for additional connectors like the ones here-" *click* " here-" *click* " and here-" *click* Matsuko pressed my legs together at the thighs, knees, and ankles, and when she let go, my legs were pinned together where she pressed.

I lifted my legs off the ground, but they only moved as one unit now. "Hmm, this will make it harder to move around for sure. I will probably need to start hopping to get places." I leaned forwards to stand up, but Matsuko pressed my shoulders back down onto the couch.

"Do you think this is anywhere near enough? Naruyo will never let me go if I don't use at least three more types of restraints on your legs" Matsuko said in a sing-song voice.

"This seems.. unnecessary, doesn't it?" I protested weakly, but knew it would be futile.

"It makes me happy, isn't that enough reason?" Matsuko created laws in her hands and pressed them to my legs.

"..Of course, My Lady, whatever you say." I guess I could do it for her, not that I really had any say in the matter in the first place.

The laws separated and became six pairs of cuffs evenly spaced from my thighs to my ankles. They pressed my legs together, and were linked by several criss-crossing chains that went between the different sets of cuffs. I could sense the magic settling and fading from sight, but the pressure they applied did not disappear. I shook my legs left and right a bit just as a test, but they were growing more and more like a single leg with every minute.

"Lately, this has become my favorite tool." She grabbed my legs and engulfed them in flames. After several seconds, the flame died down, leaving very meticulously wrapped layers of tape that covered my legs from top to bottom. "There, I think six layers is enough to keep you secure."

"Surely, this is the last step, right?" I wondered what she could possibly do to me next.

"Almost, I wouldn't want to let Naruyo down by leaving out her last gift, would I?" I got another headpat for my trouble and then Matsuko leaned over to the desk.

"Legs up, Ko-chan dear~" I lifted my legs up and could feel Matsuko sliding some kind of garment up my legs bit by bit. Finally, it reached the top of my legs and she stopped.

"Up you go, time for the first flight of the fairy~" Matsuko lifted me off the couch, spun me around, then placed me on the table face down.

"Wait, I wasn't done flying yet." I protested to Matsuko as she put me down.

"Well, maybe you should learn to fly, because you're definitely not going to be walking from now on." Matsuko laughed as she started pulling laces tight all along my legs.

"Just you wait, don't get mad when I actually do it!" I swore in my heart to prove her wrong in the future.

With Matsuko holding down my legs and lacing them, all I could do was lay there and wait for her to finish.

"How are you doing over there? I'm almost done." Matsuko pulled the last laces tight, letting the sides of the hobble skirt meet all the way down the garment.

"Ah.. I'm getting kind of bored, to be honest, hurry up and let me up already!" I said exactly what was on my mind, which, in retrospect, was maybe not the best idea in the world.

"Oh, is that the case? How can I let my cute fairy be bored? Here, this should distract you for a while~" Matsuko laughed amusedly and then turned off my ability to ignore the vibrators.

"Ah! W-w-wait! I didn't mean that! I'm not b---" Before I could finish my complaint, my telepathy faded away and all I could do was lay there and regret my life choices while I tried to keep my thoughts straight.

Matsuko zipped a flap over the laces all the way down, and locked the zipper closed at my feet. Then she closed a total of six buckles over the zipper and locked each one of those as well. There were even garter belts attached to the top of the hobble which locked to matching buckles on my tutu.

With a wave of magic that was identical to last time, she sealed all of the locks on my new gear, causing the keyholes to fade away.

"Well, that's it. I'm done, Ko-chan, what do you think of your new gear?" She lifted me up and put me on her knees and looked into my eyes.

"MMmmmmMMm." I tried to tell her I wasn't bored anymore, but she just laughed and patted my head.

"If you're still feeling bored, I can take you upstairs and tell you how cute your new gear looks on you for a while?" Matsuko blew in my ear a bit.

I shook my head vigorously, but all I got back was a laugh.

"No, you haven't stopped feeling bored? Well I know how to fix that, let's go~" She picked me up and carried me off to her room for another play session.

It didn't matter what I said, did it, My Lady? Just say you want to play, next time, instead of making a big scene like this...
