Ko-chan’s Chronicles

When we got to my room, Matsuko placed me down on the bed. "We have a lot of work to get you ready for the wedding. Shall we get started?"

"Do I have a choice?" I pouted.

"Of course not, my dear~" Matsuko smiled and activated my power. My clothing instantly disappeared off my body like it never existed.

"While I'd love to just use your tutu from before, now that you are a goddess, it is nowhere near strong enough to keep you from getting away. But don't worry, I have just the thing to solve that." She held up her hand with black starlight again.

"Hey! Stop using my own power against me! This is against the rules!" I backed away, but there was no escape.

"[Ko-chan shouldn't be wearing an outfit that she can escape from.]" Matsuko grinned widely as the power came into being.

Glittering Starlight Tape wrapped my body just like Matsuko's tape did before, and a new type of fabric faintly glittering with starlight wrapped my arms and legs, then my arms were pulled behind me. More tape secured my arms and legs before a sparkling tutu appeared on my body.

In a second, my mouth was filled, and I was back in the same tutu I always wore, except this time it was made with my own goddess-level power. How was I supposed to escape from an outfit I couldn't even deny out of existence?

"Hinari, can you come in here? I need you to do her hair while I prepare some other things." Matsuko called into the hallway.

Hinari came in and bowed before crawling onto the bed and sitting behind me.

Hinari laughed as she combed my hair. "So, it ends in the same way it began, does it? I can't really say I'm surprised."

I pouted as I spoke with her telepathically. "Ah! I thought I had finally turned the tables for good! This is the least fair anything has been in my life!"

Hinari smiled. "You sound pretty happy though. You seemed down in the dumps for a while after what happened with Zetsuna."

I sighed. "Do you think, if she had friends like I do, would she have ended up the same way?"

Hinari frowned. "Who's to say? The outside world is a vicious place where people are constantly trying to tear each other down. Any sign of weakness is taken as the cue to pounce. Her entire family is like a den of tigers, they have no true friendship. Most big families are like hers."

I put my head down a bit "Why does it have to be like that? Not everything in life is about power and status."

Hinari laughed. "Of course you would say that. You just gave up power for love. Not everyone can see things like you can, though, and that is why they will struggle for their entire life with nothing to show for it."

She silently combed my hair for a while before Matsuko called again. "Ko-chan, come to the meeting room!"

Hinari looked up. "That's your cue. Good luck, Ko-chan, I'll see you at the wedding!" She gave me a little pat and left the room.

I got off the bed and started hopping. I complained to Matsuko the whole way. "Hey! You could at least let me fly! This is getting embarrassing!"

Matsuko laughed. "Oh, no, I like watching you like this. Remember, it was your idea to go back to games, not mine."

I kept whining, but deep in my heart, I felt warm.

* * *

I finally got to the meeting room and saw Matsuko sitting on the couch waiting with a box on her lap.

"..I'm here. What did you want to give me?" I figured there was no way to avoid it at this point, so I just jumped in.

"Did you notice the new Starlight Tutu I gave you did not have wings on it?" Matsuko smiled as she asked.

"...I thought it was because it would interfere with my own wings?" I fluttered my fairy wings behind me.

"Normally, it would. It was quite a problem for me when I was designing your dress. Luckily, your new power gave me just the thing I needed to solve the problem." She stood up and opened the box, revealing a pair of costume wings inside in the same shape as mine but slightly larger.

"Now, Ko-chan, come stand right here." She pointed in front of her, and I hopped over and turned around.

I felt her hand stroke my wing a few times, which sent a shiver up my spine, and then I felt something press up against my wing from both sides. With a series of clicks, she let go, and I felt a weight on my wing that wasn't there before. As I was trying to figure out what she had done, something pressed against my other wing and more clicks proved that it was shut too.

I tried to flap my wings, but they were a bit heavier than they were before. It wasn't a huge problem but I couldn't seem to knock off whatever was hanging on my wings. This confused me because I had previously considered them incorporeal and unable to interact with anything, being made of pure energy.

"What do you think of your new wing frames? Can't get them off, can you?" Matsuko turned me around and gave me a little kiss on the cheek.

"But how? My wings can't be touched and they go through any object!" I still couldn't understand what she had done.

Matsuko looked incredibly smug as she explained. "That is true, which is why I took a piece of Starlight Cloth and enchanted it with the property [Ko-chan's wings cannot pass through this cloth.] Then I sewed it into the inside of these custom made frames. Now, even your wings are locked inside and you can't get them free without my help."

I finally understood that I'd been had again. "Gah! You used my own power against me again! When will you stop your villainous deeds!"

Matsuko hugged me tight. "That's not all. I can do this too." She manipulated the wings behind me during the hug, and I heard a faint click.

Suddenly, I couldn't move my wings at all, just like how my old tutu's wings were, completely rigid and attached straight to my corset.

"T-this..." I looked on incredulously.

Matsuko whispered into my ear. "Such beautiful wings should be for my eyes only, never to flap without my permission."

I shuddered and my heart fluttered at the thought. "Ah...My Lady... Not so close! I can't take it!"

She let me go and laughed. "So you like it that much, huh? Well that makes the next part easier."

She picked me straight up from the waist and carried me over to the other side of the room as I tried to kick her.

"Watch those legs, my little fairy, you might hurt someone!" She smiled like she had won yet another game. I heard some more clunks, and then, when she stepped back, I realized.

I flailed in the air as I looked around and above me, finding a metal frame clamped onto my wings.

"You even made one of these?!" I gave up kicking, knowing it was futile.

"I have to say, we truly are our own worst enemies. The shadow you from your dream had so many good ideas I would never have thought of." She pulled my ankles up to my thighs and started to lace the sides of my hobble skirt together.

"Hey! Stop that! When did you add those!" I tried to struggle, but my movement was being restricted by the second.

Not more than a few minutes later, my legs were laced, zipped, strapped, and locked together.

"This was also your idea. I hope you don't mind that I borrowed it from you." Matsuko slid in a form-fitting frame made of a glittering metal.

"That's... what I used on Zetsuna!" I noticed it instantly.

"Correct. Though I hope you will get a different feeling from this one, considering I made it out of Star Metal." Matsuko wheeled my wing frame over until I was hanging right next to the Star Metal frame. With a touch, the bands of the frame opened up to accept their new occupant. I couldn't move enough to keep her from pushing me into the frame and letting it close up behind me. It included a tall posture collar 10cm tall, which restricted my neck's movement considerably.

"We won't need this anymore." She removed the wing frame and wheeled it away, leaving me stuck in the Star Metal frame. It seemed to adjust its size to fit its occupant, and I could feel the many bands squeezing and compressing me, taking away every last shred of mobility.

"Just a few more steps left, Ko-chan~" She gave me another kiss and called Naruyo outside. "We're ready, Naruyo~"

Naruyo came inside with what looked like an extra long corset. I realized that it was made to fit over my entire body, folded legs and all. It was designed to go right over the frame itself.

Naruyo smiled. "Inevitable fate. Ko-chan cutest when bound."

I whined softly as she pulled this new corset around my body and she worked with Matsuko to lace it all the way up to my nose.

After they were done, Hinari and Sakari brought in the dress. A pure white dress with voluminous skirts reaching over a meter in each direction, designed to cover over the corset all the way up to my nose, with no sleeves or arm holes. The only opening was the one that would show off my deep cleavage.

Sakari smiled. "Looks like she's prepared you quite well already, Ko-chan!"

I could do little more than turning my head left and right a bit and blink, causing Sakari to laugh a little more.

With the four of them, it was not hard to lace and zip me into the dress. Matsuko stood back and smiled, fully content. "The most beautiful dress for the most beautiful bride. My life will be complete once I walk down the aisle with you."

"Now, you three can take her to the assembly room while I get ready myself." Matsuko headed for her own room to get dressed. I started to slide along the ground autonomously via Hinari's spatial powers.
