Several days later, in the foyer. "We've been busy, but we should go through what we brought back from the convention and figure out what to do with it." Matsuko stood in front of a pile of unopened boxes of gear.
"Sure, as long as I don't have to try any of it on. I've had my fill of anything vibrating for a while." Hinari had recovered from her ordeal but she still seemed a bit reluctant to jump into a new game.
"Catalog and organize." Naruyo sat down at the table with a notebook ready to write.
"Let's start with the stuff we've already used. Ko-chan's car seat. It works surprisingly well and I didn't hear any complaints all the way home." Matsuko pointed to the car seat sitting off to the side.
"Like I could have complained! I still can't believe you got this thing and made me use it all the way home. I couldn't move at all in it!"
"Well, I asked if you wanted it, back in the store, and you didn't say anything or shake your head, so I thought you liked the idea."
I got a little annoyed. "I couldn't shake my head! Your corset kept my head completely straight! Fine, whatever, at least it's over."
"What do you mean, over, Ko-chan? You'll be using this seat from now on whenever we go somewhere." Matsuko seemed eager to try it out again.
"No I won't! I can't even get in and out of it without help, and it's way too embarrassing to be strapped in that tightly! And most importantly, it traps my arms behind me where I can't use them at all!" I tried to be firm even though she seemed to like the idea a lot.
"Oh, but that's what you don't understand, Ko-chan, seeing you get strapped into your car seat is extremely cute and that is all that matters."
I gritted my teeth, and started to blush. Matsuko figured out my weakness during the night and day after the convention. And it seemed like she had no hesitation in using it against me. After a few more encouragements, I relented.
"Fine, I'll sit in the car seat whenever we go somewhere." As soon as the magic circle started to appear around me, I realized my mistake, but it was too late. "Ah no, not this again!" I tried to run away but the magic appeared directly around my neck and turned into a collar of magic symbols. I stopped running and sat on the couch, letting the process complete.
Matsuko smiled triumphantly as I gained a new law, and moved on to the next items. "These waistbands seemed fun when you were trying them on. Maybe we can make whoever is on cleaning duty wear one to make it more exciting? I bet we could also hide one under a uniform for some hidden bondage play."
She put them back down and opened the next box. Inside were the mitten harnesses she had bought from the vendor she turned the tables on. "I've been thinking, we could play bondage mahjong with these. Every time you have to buy back in you must fasten one strap. When you can't play any more, you're out."
Hinari smirked "I love mahjong, count me in. I'm also confident in being able to play with my feet, so even if I get completely locked in I won't lose.
"What is this?" Sakari held up a molded piece of rubber so Matsuko could see it.
"He he, Ko-chan should know what this is, don't you?"
I did know what it was, in fact I was very familiar with it. "That's the same kind of rubber piece that was inside the gift Matsuko gave me at the convention. Once you bite down, you can't open your mouth again, and it completely blocks speech while you have it in. It's very effective, I was only able to breathe heavily while I was wearing it. I think I heard someone calling it an ‘invisible muzzle’ at the convention."
"Hmmm, very interesting. I can't wait to try it out on someone." Hinari picked up one of the muzzles and held it up to her mouth.
"Careful. If you get that stuck inside, I'm leaving you like that until we're all done here." Matsuko glared at Hinari, who immediately put it back into the box. Asami had a grim look on her face as she held onto the one she was holding and quietly put it in her pocket when no one was looking.
Sakari opened up another box, which contained a stack of books. "A Brief History of Restraint Clothing" "Integrating Bondage With Fashion: Clothes Can Be Both Secure and Trendy" "Hidden Fasteners: 67 Ways To Make Clothes Hard To Take Off"
"Mine. For Ko-chan’s wardrobe." Naruyo took the stack of books and put them on the table next to her while glancing over at me. I suddenly had a bad feeling about the next set of clothing I was going to receive.
I opened the next box and passed it to Matsuko who smiled. "I got another set of chastity gear matching what Ko-chan wore at the convention, except this one should fit one of you four. I'll be looking for a reason to have someone test them out for an extended amount of time someday. You guys should keep an eye out for the mysterious belter, or else you might wake up in a lot of metal. Hehehe." She tried to imitate the laugh of a movie villain.
I opened up a smaller box, but I immediately shut it again after seeing the contents. "What's inside?" "It's mine, a secret!" "Ooh, now I really want to know." "Give her some space, I guess we'll probably find out what it was at some point."
I hid the box under my chair and grabbed one of the remaining boxes. When I opened it, I smiled wryly. "This one has the gear I wore at the convention. Matsuko didn't let me out all the way until Monday morning."
Hinari patted my shoulder. "That's because of how cute you looked. I didn't see anyone at the whole convention that looked better than you. Even when we got home she kept you for herself for a whole extra day. Not very fair if you ask me."
Wait, since when was there a rule like "Kogamo must be shared equally"? I glared at Hinari but she didn't seem to understand. "Do you miss it? It fit you so well so I don't blame you."
Matsuko seemed to make the wrong conclusion as well. "Don't worry, I'll find a way to get you back into some or all of that gear soon enough." Ahhh, My Lady, please don't! My unhappiness was interrupted by Sakari who opened the last box.
"Then this must be the gear Asami-chan wore that day." Sakari held up the head harness and bridle to get a closer look.
"Ah. Asami-chan looked so elegant as a pony. Someday I'd like to see her like that again. The carriage ride I took was wonderful!" My innocent thoughts and feelings filled the room, but I didn't notice the darkening look on Asami’s face and the glare as sharp as death as I continued to speak.
Hinari knew how Asami felt about the topic, so she quickly changed the subject. "With all the spoils divided, it's about time for us to get back to getting ready for school tomorrow, right?"
"Very well. Thank you again for a fun trip last week. You know where I'll be if you need me." Matsuko headed for her room and shut the door.
* * *
I took my box and ran off to my room to review my plans. I secretly went into Hinari's room before our trip and found a piece of paper that had her measurements on it on top of her desk. While we were at the convention, I took the chance while I was alone to buy some gear for her that I can't wait to see on her. All I have to do is figure out how to get her to put it on. Then my dreams of getting all of the council members to wear bondage gear for me would be one step closer to reality. This is the start of President Kogamo's rise to greatness!
I thought for a while. Maybe I could issue a challenge, where the loser does one thing for the winner? It's not a terrible idea but I couldn't be totally sure about winning against her. If I lose I could end up in a bad situation like what happened at the convention.
I still suffer when I think about what could have happened if Matsuko hadn't shown up when she did. Speaking of Matsuko, it made my heart flutter when I saw her getting mad for my sake. Even though it was scary, maybe it was a little bit worth it just to see that?
Finally deciding on a plan of action, I put the gear I bought into a box. I moved my chair over to the wardrobe and stood on my tiptoes to get my wrapping paper and wrapped it like a gift. I would execute my plan this weekend.
* * *
Saturday, I took my gift for Hinari and knocked on her door. "Who is it?"
"Umm… it's me. I have something for you." I tried to sound less nervous than I was.
The door opened and Hinari looked out. She saw the gift and smiled "I never turn away a present with my name on it. Let's talk inside." She led me into her room and sat down on the desk chair. "So what did I do to deserve a gift?"
"Well, You've been extremely nice to me ever since I came to this school, so I thought I should do something for you as well. Before you open it, could you promise me something? Don't laugh at me when you see what it is, and don't immediately refuse it. At least try it once first."
Hinari smiled and laughed. "I would never laugh at your gift, Ko-chan. Let's see what you've got." She took the box from me and removed the ribbon, then tore the wrapping paper. She opened the lid and took out the first item on top, a glove.
"This is…. An item from the convention?" She seemed briefly confused, but then figured out the likely story. "You want me to try these on, then?"
I nodded and blushed and tried to string an excuse together. "I saw them at the convention and thought you would look really beautiful in them, so I secretly got them as a gift for you."
"Oh, Ko-chan, that's really sweet. Let's see what you got for me." She pulled the other glove out and inspected it. "A pair of gloves…no, they're mittens. And this is a corset. And these must be a pair of boots…with ballet heels. This seems to be just like the outfit the manager picked out for you back then."
I blushed even further, and my intrusive thoughts won out once more. "Actually, when they were dressing me that time, my first thought was ‘Hinari would look so great in this kind of clothing.’ Later I decided I had to get a set for you."
"Well I'd hate to disappoint an adoring fan. Let's give them a try." Hinari picked up one of the mittens and started to put her hand in it, but she immediately noticed a problem. The mitten was much too small for Hinari's arm. She couldn't even get it past her wrist before it got stuck.
"Ko-chan, are you sure you got the right size? This is way too small and it isn't even close. Let me see the other items." She picked up one of the boots, but it was also several sizes too small to fit her leg. She wrapped the corset around her waist but there was over 25cm between the sides that would never be able to be closed.
"None of it fits… how can this be. I was sure I remembered the measurements properly."
Hinari has a strange look on her face. "Ko-chan, where did you get those measurements? I don't remember telling you my body sizes."
I suddenly felt guilty, but I still confessed. "I um…saw a sheet of paper on your desk that had all your measurements on it. I thought it would be okay since I was using them to make a gift…"
Instead of being mad, Hinari broke into laughter. "Ko-chan, those weren't my measurements at all. That paper was something Naruyo gave me when she was looking for advice on your wardrobe. Those were YOUR measurements, Ko-chan."
I was stunned. My mind just stopped working for several seconds, and when I recovered, Hinari had already taken off one of my gloves and was pulling the mitten on in its place. When it reached the top of my arm, it forced my hand into a ball just like the one I had worn at the convention.
"I knew it. It fits perfectly. I'm sure the rest of the gear will fit too. Now then, let's get a move on." As she was talking, she was pulling the buckle on my wrist tight.
"Wait, since I got the wrong size, I'll just take it back. There's no reason for me to try it on myself." I pulled back my hands but one was already helplessly mittened and Hinari was holding the other one quite tightly.
"Don't you remember what you made me promise? I have to try out each of your gifts before I'm allowed to refuse them. If they don't fit me, I'll just have to try them out on you instead~" With a smooth motion she pulled my other glove clean off and moved my hand towards the mitten. I tried to resist, but she was considerably stronger than me.
* * *
Twenty minutes later, Hinari’s room door opened again, but it wasn't Hinari that came out. I stumbled out of the room, naked, mittened, and corseted, and very, very embarrassed. Somehow I had failed my gift plan in the worst possible way and I didn't understand where I went wrong.
Hinari gave me a little kiss on the cheek and whispered in my ear, "I will accept as many of this kind of gift as you want to give me. Playing dress-up with Ko-chan is the highlight of my weekend~ Don't worry about your other clothes, I'll leave them in your room later." With that, she closed the door, leaving me outside alone.
