“It’s so hot… so…”
This time it was a shoulder-baring deep blue short dress, paired with a pair of thick gray velvet tights.
Although the velvet material was soft, it felt stuffy to wear. Moreover, the unique fuzzy texture produced an indescribable heat and itch when it touched the skin, as if countless tiny feathers were lightly brushing against her legs. On Little Merlin’s feet were a pair of tight black high heels, the backs tightly wrapping around her ankles, immobilizing her feet completely.
“Sit down. Legs together and slant to the side, hands on your knees.”
Little Merlin sat on a high stool, her legs dangling. Her legs, wrapped in gray velvet tights, were pressed tightly together. Because they were dangling, the weight of the high heels constantly pulled at her ankles, and the taut tights were also pulled downward.
Zzz—
As gravity took effect, the fibers of the tights tightened, clinging closely to the skin of her legs. The constant binding sensation and the friction of the fuzz made her eyes well up with tears from the discomfort.
“Point your toes!” Mia tapped Little Merlin’s toes lightly with a pointer.
“Ugh…” Little Merlin had to force her instep to stretch, her toes gripping the inside of the shoes tightly. The stuffiness, the itch, and the binding feeling from the heels made her calves twitch slightly.
Examination Item 4.
Ophelia brought out a set of designed clothing.
The top was a well-tailored pure white sailor-style blouse, with a navy blue ribbon tied at the collar. The bottom was a pleated miniskirt, the hem decorated with blue and gold lace, the skirt barely covering her buttocks, swaying lightly with movement. And the key piece was the stockings.
The transparent white stockings were more delicate than the previous styles, as if they would snag at the slightest touch. Worn on the legs, they looked like a layer of white pearlescent glaze on the skin, shining with a holy yet seductive luster under the light. Paired with them were a pair of black patent leather high-heeled loafers. The heels were a full seven centimeters high, yet they retained the academic style of loafers.
“Put them on.”
Under everyone’s gaze, Little Merlin extended her foot tremblingly. The moment the transparent white stockings touched her skin, they brought a chilling cold and silkiness that made her scalp tingle. As the stockings were pulled up little by little, the fine fibers tightened and stretched over the skin of her legs. With each pull, the fabric of the stockings would slightly deform, gripping the skin tightly, an ever-present sense of encasement made Little Merlin feel as if every inch of her skin was being gently touched. When she put on the high-heeled loafers and stood up, the electric sensation in her legs reached its peak.
“Walk over here. Don’t look down.”
Little Merlin took a step. The moment she bent her knees, the fibers at the knees of the stockings were instantly taut, the transparent white fabric clinging closely to the contours of her bones, rubbing against her delicate skin.
Rustle rustle…
That thin layer of white stockings, with her movement, continuously stretched, snapped back, and slid over her thighs, knees, and calves. Every step felt like an electric shock shooting through her.
“Ugh… so… inside the shoes so…”
Because the stockings were too slippery, her feet couldn’t stay in the loafers at all. With each step, her heels would slip a little out of the shoe’s back, then heavily step back in. That feeling of wanting to fall off but not quite, combined with the electric current of the stockings, forced her to clamp her legs together, knees turned inward, moving in an extremely shy and unstable manner.
“I can’t… do it… can’t…” Little Merlin said with a tearful voice, her legs trembling violently. Finally, halfway through, her knees gave way and she knelt on the carpet. The transparent white stockings, as her thighs were squeezed and became fleshier, tightened even more around the flesh, showing the tempting pink underneath.
“Pass.” Ophelia finally showed a satisfied smile.
She stepped forward, using a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her daughter’s forehead, but did not let her change out of this outfit.
“Although you are still immature, this endurance barely passes.” She handed the White Holy Sword to Little Merlin. “Remember, until you defeat the Demon King, this outfit, these stockings, and these high heels are not to be taken off.”
“Huh?!” Little Merlin looked in despair at her legs wrapped in transparent white stockings, then at the loafers that were not only high-heeled but also slippery, and let out a wail, “NO—!!!”
After spending a night resting in the mansion, the group set out. Outside the mansion was a strange forest. Leaving the protection of the mansion, the outside world was full of malice for the Hero.
Whoosh—
A cool wind blew.
“Ugh!” Little Merlin suddenly clamped her legs together, her whole body trembling.
Indoors, she hadn’t noticed it, but outdoors, the transparent white stockings felt as if they didn’t exist at all. The wind passed through the thin, silky fabric without hindrance, blowing onto her skin, feeling the tights pressing against her skin. The sensation was too strange—chilly, yet slippery because of the stockings.
As the wind blew through the pores on her legs, the fibers of the stockings seemed to contract and touch, as if countless invisible little hands were lightly moving through the stockings.
“So… so… the wind got in…” Little Merlin’s face turned bright red. She desperately tried to pull down the hem of her skirt to cover herself, but only touched that pitifully short pleated skirt.
This skirt was high-waisted, with a very short hem. With each step she took, the hem swung and shook over her thighs like a mischievous child. The fabric rubbed against the stockings.
Rustle… rustle…
Each time the hem fell, it would lightly brush over the back of her thighs and the edge of her buttocks covered by white stockings. The faint contact, combined with the slippery feel of the stockings, made her feel as if little bugs were crawling on her bottom.
Little Merlin had to walk slower, more carefully, trying in this way to reduce the swaying of the skirt. But this instead made her walking posture even more twisted, her knees turned inward more tightly, and the rubbing of the white stockings on the inner thighs became even more intense.
“Stop shaking… I hate this skirt…”
Even worse were the high-heeled loafers. The forest ground was not flat, full of small stones and tree roots. Every time she stepped on uneven ground, the thin heels would wobble.
“Ah!”
Her ankle twisted, and again her heel slipped out of the shoe due to the slipperiness of the stockings. The feeling of weightlessness made Little Merlin instinctively want to grab something, her toes curling and scratching desperately inside the toe box. Through the layer of white stockings, she could clearly feel every tiny texture on the insole.
“I’m not walking… the shoes keep falling off…” Little Merlin said with a tearful voice, standing still and refusing to move. Her legs, wrapped in transparent white stockings, were trembling slightly from overexertion, and a faint pink showed through at the knees, looking both pitiful and tempting.
Mia approached Little Merlin. “Oh, Hero.”
