Ko-chan’s Chronicles

I entered one of the side rooms of the training facility and found Sakari sitting at a table having a staredown with a metronome. She was still bound by the reverse prayer armbinder made of ribbons, but she was also tied down to the chair in a frogtie by Flame Tape. She grunted and struggled against the tape as she rotated her magic, but nothing was happening other than her cute squirming.

"...Sakari-chan? What are you up to? Why are you taped to a chair?" I asked when I saw her lean her head back and start panting.

"Ah... Ko-chan... You look like you're about as stuck as I am right now. Matsuko said that in order to evolve my power, I need to convince this metronome to stop ticking. And to keep me from getting distracted, she taped me to this chair with her Flame Tape. Gah, she knows no one can remove it, unlike the ribbons. This is so unfair." She immediately started to rant to me.

"So what's the problem? Why can't you make it stop ticking?" I watched the metronome tick back and forth for a few seconds.

"What do you mean? It's a machine! It doesn't have thoughts or feelings! How can I distort its thoughts if it doesn't have any??" Sakari got a bit more animated, well, as much as one can be while taped to a chair naked, at least.

"Why do you think it doesn't have thoughts? I've heard in school that even our brains run on electromagnetic signals. That metronome runs on electromagnetic signals. If you can cause a brain to malfunction, why can't you cause the metronome to malfunction?" I asked a question I felt was rather obvious.

Sakari growled at the metronome. "So, if I think about it that way... just interfering with the electromagnetic fields should..." As she stared harder, her eyes glowed with pink magic. Suddenly, the metronome stopped for a second. Then it started going crazy, flicking back and forth at a tremendous speed. Then it started moving erratically, before a small pop was heard and it stopped moving. A faint burnt smell filled the air.

"Sakari-chan! You did it! Wow, incredible!" I heaped as much praise as I could onto her.

Sakari hung her head as if she was incredibly unsatisfied. "Ugh... damnit. Now I have to admit to Hinari that she was right. I should have just listened in the first place."

I laughed. "Is it that bad of a feeling to accept help?"

"It's fine! I just don't want to see her gloating!" Sakari struggled a bit more as she whined.

"Keep training Sakari-chan, I'm going to go look around more." I bid farewell to Sakari.

"Ah, wait! Who's going to get me out of this chair! I finished my training, come on!" She struggled fiercely, but the flame tape held her completely helpless in the chair.

I stopped by Matsuko for another layer of my petsuit. This time it was individual binders that were laced, strapped, and locked onto each limb. In addition, there was a corset that wrapped around my waist and a collar, which connected to the corset and the binders with straps.

I went to see Hinari again in the underground facility.

She was still on the floor in a cocoon just like I left her last time, with only the upper portion of her face freed. Despite this, the peanuts of all three colors were constantly shifting between the three tanks one by one.

"Wow, Hinari-chan! You figured it out so quickly!" I slumped onto the floor next to her and she looked over.

"MMmmmm~" She started to talk but apparently forgot she was currently muzzled. She signaled to the guards who came over and peeled the ribbons off her face.

"...Sorry, Ko-chan. I forgot. I stopped having them peel me out because it was slowing down my training." Hinari blushed as she explained her situation.

"You can move the peanuts between tanks now~ I'm so happy for you!" I rubbed against her side with my head.

"...It's too slow. Matsuko says I need to be able to do this really quickly." Hinari seemed downcast as the peanuts swapped around one at a time.

"Why do you have to do them one at a time? Why not just grab a bunch, or even the entire tank and swap it?" I watched her swapping individual peanuts.

"But.. wouldn't that just swap the tanks? What about the contents?" Hinari didn't discard my idea out of hand.

"Hinari-chan. I have a question. How do you think about what to transfer?" I looked over at Hinari.

"Um.. I guess I've never considered it? I just look at the thing and grab it." Hinari started to think about it seriously for the first time.

"Can you just focus on an area? Not a specific object, just swap whatever is in that area elsewhere." I threw out an idea I just thought of.

Hinari fell deep into thought, then squinted her eyes. A second later, a whole pile of yellow peanuts fell into the red peanut tank. Her eyes widened as if she was seeing the world for the first time again.

"AH! You did it! Hinari is the coolest!" I ran over to the tank to look closer.

"Ko-chan.. I really want to take a look inside that head of yours someday." Hinari sighed and admitted defeat. Within a handful of tries, she was able to swap the entire tank of peanuts around the room at will at blinding speed.

"Waah~ Move me next!" I looked back at her, and then in a blink I was falling into a tank of peanuts.

"Woah! This is fun, you should try it!" I swam around a bit in the peanuts, and then a second later, a cocooned Hinari fell on top of me and we laughed.

A bit later we had evacuated the tank and Hinari smiled at me. "...I think I understood something just now, Ko-chan. It's all the same. Everywhere, I can just swap it out. It doesn't matter where or when." Now, even the furniture was randomly swapping places around the room.

"Incredible! I think you did it, Hinari! You mastered your skill~ So coool~" My eyes sparkled as I watched the room spin around before my eyes.

"...Finally, I won't have let Mistress... Ma-chan down. Well, I guess I don't need my inventory anymore, right?" Hinari smiled as she seemed to finally accept her progress.

"Ahh, I'll just clean this out finally. Wait! No! That's---" Hinari emptied her inventory all at once, but somehow forgot that it was totally filled with ribbons. In one second she was completely bombarded with the ribbons and turned into a mummy on the floor.

I could hear the thumping of the vibrators start up and then Hinari started blinking around the room. Apparently she was attempting to shift herself out of the cocoon, but the cocoon was stuck to her far too securely.

After a few dozen attempts, she finally just let herself fall to the floor on her side, the thumping in between her legs and in her mouth causing her to twitch and convulse with pleasure.

I looked over sadly at the guards who were starting to come over. It looked like they would be busy for at least a few hours...

* * *

"Hinari succeeded with her training, My Lady. She can truly call it the Power of Space now." I smiled as I laid on Matsuko's lap.

"Why isn't she here with you then? I assumed she would immediately want to show it off." Matsuko looked on curiously.

"Ah.. Um... There was an incident right after that. She'll be uh... taking a break for a while." I tried not to expose Hinari's failure so blatantly.

Matsuko's eyes glittered for a second, and then she smiled. I forgot. She has spirit sight that is stronger than mine. She could easily see Hinari laying on the floor in her thick ribbon cocoon getting vibrated non stop. "She sure is having fun. I guess she's earned a break, then. I'll send some replacement guards to swap out in an hour or two."

"Ah, I think Sakari succeeded too. She was able to cause the metronome to self-destruct. She couldn't get out of her chair though, and I couldn't help her." I also reported on Sakari.

"Sakari is also taking a break, courtesy of Naruyo. She stopped by Sakari's room about an hour ago saying, since she was done with her training, to help her with some new ribbon collar tests."

She focused my spiritual sight on Sakari's room, and I could see her on the chair bound by Flame Tape, but now there was an additional ribbon layer over top which was thumping powerfully into her legs and mouth. Sakari's eyes were wide and unfocused, and she seemed like she was having the time of her life.

I blushed, seeing Sakari's current situation. "Ah, she also..."

Matsuko laughed. "Context is important, right? Zetsuna did one thing and it was awful and horrible. Your friend does the same thing and it's great and pleasurable."

I thought about it and nodded. "...Then what's next?"

Matsuko opened a box on the side and I saw a pile of Glacial Flamesilk in the box. "Almost to the end, Ko-chan. After this, there's just one more layer."

She brought out the suit and it was light red with blue patterns in the fabric. From certain angles, the fabric would shine with a magical glow. The suit was covered in belts, buckles, laces and zippers.

"It's completely made of Glacial Flamesilk with reinforced seams, comprehensive boning all around, magically locking buckles, Flame Rope edged straps, and a Flame Tape lining. It's a masterpiece of magical engineering, and practically a fortress. The artisans said they couldn't imagine the power that a person who could get out of it would have." Matsuko was definitely bragging this time.

"Ah, they also wanted to know what the girl who would have these dimensions would be like." Matsuko laughed as she teased.

"It's not my fault I'm short! How mean!" I tried to struggle, but it was already completely futile.

She laid out the suit on the table, and then placed me on top on my stomach. One by one she slid my arms and legs into the suit, and then with a little pulling and prodding, it slipped over my body. She started to pull the laces at the back closed, and that took a while.

It wasn't super hard to use my body as a counterweight to pull the sides of the suit completely together and zip it up all the way to my mouth. It had a muzzle that fit over my mouth and nose and covered the layers of Flame Tape that had previously covered my mouth.

A complex harness was sewn into the suit on the outside, and Matsuko pulled each belt as tight as she could before locking them shut. With Flame Rope sewn into the edges, no normal scissors could cut the straps.

"Well, that's it my dear. Let's see you get out of that~" Matsuko gave me a little kiss on the cheek.

"You know I can't!" I gave it a little flex, but I had even less give than I did before. This might even be stronger than my normal tutu.

"Alright, get to it, I want to see you hopping and bounding around like you were completely free before you come back for the last layer." Matsuko gave me a playful swat on the behind that I still felt clearly due to her flame magic.

"Ah! Hey! You're cheating! No magic spanking!" I protested loudly, but only got another swat on the other side as a response.

"He he~ You squeal pretty cutely when I spank you. Why didn't I know this until now?" Matsuko seemed like she was getting her wrist ready for another go, so I booked it out of the room before she could catch up.
