[Diaper Use, Diapers, Soiling]
A new day was dawning, the birds chirping on a young girl's windowsill as she was very slowly roused from her deep sleep. As far as she knew, it was just another day. Which meant that there were plenty of opportunities for her to do what she loved most in this life of hers.
"Good morning..." The young girl, currently only covered by her blanket, yawned and greeted nobody in particular as she stretched and pulled herself into a sitting position with some amount of mild difficulty. And as she did so, a soft smell started to reach her nose...
The girl looked down at her crotch, and she just sighed. Like every other night, she had managed to wet herself. Rather egregiously so as well, because her diaper was absolutely soaked. It was a good thing that she wore them to protect herself, otherwise her sheets would've been ruined all over again.
Despite the current soaked garment wrapped around her waist, the girl stretched a little more and pulled herself out of bed. As soon as her feet met the ground, gravity started to kick in and reveal that her diaper was sagging quite significantly. If she were to walk outside, people would realize that she had pissed herself. Not that it really bothered her that much, but she'd like to avoid people staring too much.
She shook off the grip of her own sleep as she walked over to one of her mirrors, and gave herself a good look. Smiling as she carefully let her fingers glide across the runes that had been inscribed upon her arms, before carefully running her hand through her long blonde locks...
Those runes of hers were special to her. They served as one of the treasures that she had taken home from one of her adventures. Exploring the world and discovering its mysteries. Learning about these runes and making them a part of her daily life was one of her first achievements, which had served to make everything that came after that so much easier.
Anybody that saw those runes would easily be able to identify her. Claudine Celice, or CC to those that were more intimately connected to her. While she preferred to keep a low profile, the stories of her exploits and her adventures had reached near and far. And it was impossible not to pick her out from a crowd whenever she flashed those runes, especially if she put them to use.
She just wished that they didn't all say that they expected somebody taller. It's not her fault that she couldn't grow much taller, and it's not like it actually impeded her efforts. So what if she was short? If she could do it, then anybody could. If they just look at it in that kind of way, then everything would be much better...
Claudine looked at herself in the mirror, noticing her upset blush... And the fact that her diaper was turning a deeper shade of yellow. Ah. She did it again. She let her emotions get the better of her, and she agitated her bladder to the point where she didn't even hear the pee hissing out... Right, she had to work on that.
With a deep breath, the blonde young girl slowly slid her fingers along three particular runes on both of her arms. All while quietly muttering a chant to let their power flow freely...
Keeping her eyes closed as she let the power of her runes do all the work, she felt the weight of her diaper lifted from her waist as it was magically removed. It even flew straight towards the pail she had set up in the kitchen of her home, the movement itself being something she had to practice a lot.
As soon as she heard the sound of plush padding squishing against more discarded diapers, she drew another breath and traced her finger along three different runes, activating a different piece of magic. A piece of magic that sent a crinkling sound through her bedroom, thanks to how the magic had to grab ahold of a brand new diaper from the pack she had stashed away.
Using her runic magic to change herself was awfully convenient. Even if it didn't provide the same sort of intimacy that came with a proper change. But at least it was efficient and effective, because it remained nice and tightly pinned against her waist after it snapped shut. She barely even noticed it slipping on, but as she reached down to adjust it and check if it was as tight as it needed to be, there was nothing that seemed to be out of order. Everything seemed just right...
Claudine opened her eyes and looked at herself, twirling a little as she smiled. The diaper was in tip-top condition, and she didn't need to worry about wetting it again. She was sure, because there was definitely no more pee left inside her bladder...
With her butt snugly and safely padded, it was time to get the rest of her outfit on. And she didn't need to worry about using her runes this time, because everything was easy to access in the closet right next to her bed.
She kept several copies of her ordinary outfit inside that closet. So many identical sets of clothes. Which she really did need, considering how often she ended up dirtying them because of how she wandered across the world.
A long beige coat with blue trimings, a simple blue and striped shirt with a couple of yellow frills near the edge, as well as a white vest on top of that to make sure she kept nice and warm. She didn't bother wearing any pants, her diaper would serve as the only thing she wore around her waist. But she definitely needed her long boots that reached all the way up to her thighs, which served to compliment the warmth that came from her soft padding. And finally, her favorite small cap, adorned with the crest of Olympia...
Claudine wasn't exactly a fashionable girl, in fact she considered herself rather plain. Her choice of attire certainly seemed to agree iwth this, as it was practically impossible to pick her out from a crowd whenever she wore such dull colors. But that was a good thing. The less people noticed her, the better. An explorer explored on their own. Any companions would just slow them down, especially considering the perils that they would encounter and the changes that no doubt followed...
"Still a perfect fit, even after all these journeys." Claudine said as she looked at herself in the mirror, adjusting her cap ever slightly before grinning. "Keep up the good work, Claudine. One day, you'll find the answers to the world's greatest mysteries." She amped herself, and then walked into the living room with a deep sigh...
As much as she liked to amp herself up, she was starting to run out of places to explore. It was a natural result of her eager pursuit of treasures and knowledge, but it alos meant that it was hard to truly find interest in anything that was happening. Whether domestically or in other parts of the world. She needed a new mystery to indulge in, otherwise she'd continue being stuck in this rut...
Perhaps she just needed a bit of fresh air. And it was a bright and warm morning, so if she were to just go outside, then maybe her explorative spirit would light up once more. With that thought in mind, Claudine picked up the bag containing the various different tools that she used whenever she was out on one of her journeys, and then headed outside.
A soft smile worked its way onto Claudine's face as she looked up at the sun above... And the many girls that were currently walking down the dirty road outside her home. Those many girls that were just as padded as her, each of them dressed in their own dirty clothes. Most of them quite a bit poor compared to the explorer that just happened to live out in the sticks.
"Good morning, CC!" One of the townsfolk, who very clearly had a bulge in the front of her diaper thanks to the heat she was packing within it, waved to the young explorer with a smile on her face. "Already heading out on your next journey?"
"Not yet." Claudine said, slight disappointment in her tone as she walked forward. "I'm still trying to think of where to head next. But I'll figure something out, don't you worry."
The older girl nodded and laughed a bit, patting the short blonde on the head. "Just keep up the good work, CC. Bring back something you can tell us all sorts of stories about, then we'll be happy!" And with that bit of encouragement, she took her leave...
Claudine blushed a bit as she watched the girl leave. She had to admit that she wasn't great at remembering faces or names, but she definitely remembered how the rest of the town treated her. While they weren't friendly enough to head over for a cup of tea, they were all happy to listen whenever she wanted to tell the tale of one of her adventures. Because despite how unassuming Claudine looked, she was the crown jewel of the little town of Saint-Montford.
She blushed a little more as she remembered the last time she had told a story about her journey. How quickly a group of padded adults started to grow delightfully wet at the sound of everything she had to go through... Though she honestly couldn't blame them. She had to calm down just like they did whenever she had moments to breathe during tense moments...
Still, seeing everyone offer at least a little wave towards her, people that she had grown accustomed to over the years... It was nice to see them. And seeing them all in diapers, whether tented or not, was making her heart extra warm. Yes, she could feel it. Her explorative spirit was starting to burn... Which meant that she had to act on it quickly, before she lost it.
Reaching into her bag, Claudine pulled out a map and took a seat at the small table that sat in her garden, sprawling it out as she started to eye the different regions of the world. Surely there was something she hadn't acted on. Surely there were a few hints to what she could still explore...
The regions themselves were fairly distinct, because the moment you crossed a region's border you very quickly noticed the different beliefs that served to emphasize the way that they managed their civilizations.
In the case of her home region, Olympia, the region was characterized by troubled terrain the more inward you went. Towns like Saint-Montford were very close to the rugged part of the region, which was a double edged sort. For somebody like her that wanted to explore, it meant that it wasn't hard to traverse the terrain and make her way to one of the other regions, but it also meant that she had to take quite a long trek to the Capital that was much closer to the coast in the west. Not to mention that while the eastern parts of the region were definitely still not as fully explored as they could be, the rest was practically kept under a strict eye by the Church. And to say that she had run afoul with the Church before due to her curious nature would be an understatement.
Moving outside of Olympia, there were three regions that she had visited before, each of them if only slightly. The oriental Tianchao, which had forced her to turn back after traversing those mountainous regions had taken everything out of her. The advanced metropolis Mizuho, which she was only able to reach through sailing around from the other direction and even then the region seemed to have no secrets remaining for her to pry through. And finally, the New World, which was enormous and yet incredibly barren at the same time which made it extremely hard for her to explore...
She needed to go to each in the near future and properly explore them, especially as she mastered her abilities and grew more proficient as an explorer. But since she couldn't make it all the way there, where would she go instead..?
*Hisssss...*
In the midst of her deep thoughts, Claudine couldn't really come to any sort of conclusion. And thanks to the mild stress brought on by her constant heavy thinking, she started to wet her diaper. Not that she seemed too bothered by it, squeezing her thighs together to push the padding up against her crotch as she let it soak in...
...Only then did something hit her, with her hand slowly reaching down towards her diaper. She slowly let her fingers sink into the padding, pressing those fingertips into the soaked part of her padding...
Was this... Was all of this really right? Even though she had worn diapers for so long, even though everyone was wearing diapers in their daily life... Was this really right?
Claudine's stray thought slipped from her fingertips as she let out a shap cry, causing her to squirt a little bit of feminine cum right into her padding. And with it, the thoughts that made her so suddenly worried faded from her head, leaving her heart pounding against her chest while she now had a soggy diaper between her thighs.
"Haaah... Haah..." She gasped and panted, with a few of the townsfolk that passed by her garden chuckling in a teasing way as they saw her recover from an abrupt pee-induced orgasm. It wasn't often that they got the chance to see somebody as prestigeous as her experience loss of control like that, so they relished the opportunity..
Not that Claudine cared about their teasing. She knew it wasn't meant in malice. Just another way for the citizens of Saint-Montford to bond. But that didn't change the fact that she thought she had figured out the next mystery that would occupy her. And then it had slipped from her grasp. She couldn't even remember what had made her heart beat like that...
...In the end, she decided that the best course of action was to just go pick up her morning coffee, and then work from there.
---
"Morning, CC! The usual?"
The sound of the barista that always manned the front desk of Saint-Montford's only café brought a smile to Claudine's lips. She always knew what she wanted. Even if she didn't say it. "Two cups today, I need it so I can think extra hard."
"Two milky coffees coming right up!" The barista chimed, while waving the young blonde towards one of the few tables that was currently unoccupied. It had been a busy day already, so there were barely any tables that weren't currently in use.
Claudine strolled towards her seat, the sound of her crinkly and soaked diaper very easy to make out amongst the crowd. Though only because it was currently sagging, because all the other soaked pampers were currently stuffed onto one of the seats. By the time another patron wanted to leave or go grab their coffee, the sound would no doubt multiply.
The patrons themselves were busy drinking away from their sippy cups. Drinking as much of that extra milky coffee as they could, and no doubt filling those diapers that complimented their looks so well. And those that weren't currently enjoying a nice warm beverage were busy being changed, thanks to how badly they had packed their pampers already.
All this babyish and infantile activity on display... To Claudine, it was just how the world worked. Girls like her were always stuck in diapers, the only reprieve being when they needed changes. And they definitely needed to put a new one on quickly, unless they wanted to make a mess all over the floor. And yet despite the dangers, it wasn't a humiliating act to have an accident. Society as she knew it was comforting and welcoming. Nobody was teased extensively for being diapered, because that was just how the world worked...
So looking out at them all and seeing diapers in various states of use, whether they were clean, whether they were soggy, whether they were sticky and bulging, or whether they were stinky and sagging off the seat... It was all just what she had come to expect. It was the kind of sight that you would easily find in this world of hers...
As Claudine watched the other patrons in an absentminded fashion, she barely even noticed the gentle kiss on her cheek and the two sippy cups being placed in front of her. Only once she could smell the sweet warmth wafting out from the tips of the cups did she realize what had happened, causing her to blush. This was another reason why she didn't go to places full of people. She'd let her mind wander, and people could take advantage of her from there...
Still, she had her milky coffee. So she grabbed one of them, carefully making sure to grab the part that hadn't soaked in the warmth of the beverage within, and carefully started to sip and drink it bit by bit. All while her eyes still focused on the people around her. People that were nice and merry...
Claudine had only just sipped the coffee for a few seconds before she heard the soft sound of her bladder releasing a *hiss* and the front of her diaper growing significantly soggier as it started to sag out a bit. It was the natural effect of what she was drinking. The coffee was rough on girls' bowels, but the milk distilled its effects. In exchange, you ended up wetting yourself more often. And it was something she preferred, even if it was making her blush violently as she felt it all streaming out from between her legs...
The only way to suppress her moans was to keep drinking. Which just made her pee more. Which made her drink more to suppress her moans and make them come out muffled thanks to the tip in her mouth. But eventually there was no more coffee, and she couldn't stop herself from moaning...
Not that she was the only one who did so. There were moans bouncing all throughout the cafe. So many more girls like her were having a mild orgasm from peeing or using their diapers. It was all just normal. At least that's what it seemed like. That's what... It should be, right..?
Claudine put a hand up against her head as she struggled to concentrate. She had one hell of a headache. Maybe it was because of all the coffee that she had downed. Maybe it was because of the milk that was mixed together with it. Either way, her head was pounding. Maybe she should just head home and sleep for the day. It wasn't like she was going to get anywhere while her heart was still unsure of where she had to head...
As she walked towards the exit, she noticed a strange girl standing near the counter, buying a coffee directly instead of taking a seat. White hair, streaks of green amongst that hair, an oriental outfit and... A set of fox ears and a matching fluffy tail..? Who, exactly, was this girl supposed to be?
Claudine had seen girls like her before, or at least read about them. Werebeasts. They were native to Nanyang, a region she hadn't been able to explore due to how difficult it was to legally enter, so seeing one of their kin all the way over in Olympia was definitely strange.
She was almost tempted to go ask her who she was and if she could ask her a few questions about nanyang, just so she could gather information and figure out if she should try and head there next... But considering she was grabbing a coffee straight from the counter instead of getting a seat, she was probably about to leave.
"Thank you." The white-haired fox-eared girl said and graciously bowed before the barista, before making her way outside. Not paying mind to any of the other patrons, even if they were all looking at her. They were naturally curious, because a Werebeast was not a common sight in this part of the world. Much less out in the middle of nowhere like Saint-Montford...
Though they weren't focused for long, as they started to focus on their diapers once again. Either their diapers, their friends, or the act of filling them. Everything returned to normal, despite this strange sight that really should've made some eyebrows raise. The only one who hadn't been placated at this point was Claudine, who just kept on looking towards the white-haired Werebeast...
Were they supposed to be this alluring? Was that why her heart was currently pounding against her chest? And for that matter, how come she was able to have her tail swinging all over the place? If she was wearing a diaper, wouldn't it get in the way? So if that was the case, were diapers not as normal as she-
As Claudine kept staring right at the white-haired fox, the wind suddenly kicked up. And there it was. The sight of something she thought was an impossibility. A sight that contradicted her world view, which served to clear her mind...
The Werebeast wasn't wearing a diaper. She was wearing a pair of cute panties that neatly cupped her bottom, and it didn't seem like she was bothered at all by the way that the wind just revealed her secret. If she was like any of them, the act of being caught without a diaper on was... Well, it would either result in the panties being ruined, or the diaper-clad individuals forcing a diaper on her. And yet she didn't seem bothered in the slightest. Like it was normal for her....
Claudine felt her heart pounding against her chest. She had to find out who this werebeast was. She had to go and catch up to her. Despite the fact she wasn't far away, she had to hurry. Otherwise somebody might notice what she wasn't trying to hide. And then she was in trouble.
But as she started to run after the white-haired Werebeast, she found the distance between them far too wide. It was like she couldn't catch up to her. No matter how far she ran, the Werebeast was just perilously out of reach. Even though she was walking at a brisk pace compared to the explorer who ran as much as she possibly could. How wasn't she able to catch up..?
There was only one solution. The only method she had of catching up would revolve around her runes, which she carefully traced. She didn't need a lot of power, but she definitely needed it to be focused on speed. Anything beyond that would risk something dangerous. All she needed was a burst of speed...
The runes on Claudine's arms started to glow in sequence as she traced her finger along them, before she felt the power transfer into her legs. And with one firm and strong step, she suddenly burst forward. Faster than ever before. Fast enough to finally catch up-
Suddenly, it was like something shattered... And she found herself on the outskirts of town, with the white-haired fox staring at her. Quietly looking at her, a soft smile on her lips as she seemed almost impressed with what the blonde explorer was able to do...
"What... What was that?" Claudine muttered. She had never experienced that before. It was like she had just smashed against a pane of glass... Or through a wall of water that she just splashed out on the other side of. Either way, she was disoriented beyond belief. "And... And beyond that... W-Who are you, Werebeast..? Why aren't you wearing a diaper..?"
The white-haired Werebeast tilted her head ever slightly, her ears twitching as she put her finger up to her chin. She then shook her head, before letting that smile widen. "Why are you wearing a diaper?"
"..What do you mean..?" As Claudine heard that question, it was like something snapped around her heart. It was like relief poured through her body. It was like... Well it wasn't like she had just wet herself, though the sogginess of her diaper didn't help matters.
The Werebeast stepped closer. "I meant what I said. Why are you wearing a diaper?" She continued, asking the question again. "What about all the others? Why are they wearing diapers? Have you ever stopped to think about that?"
Claudine had never done so. As far as she knew, it was just a natural part of the world. It was natural for people like her to wear diapers. But the Werebeast in front of her wasn't wearing one. And she made it sound like it wasn't normal. And the worst part was that her heart truly believed her. Not just because of how her feelings had been validated, those nascent feelings of dissatisfaction... But because it finally seemed like she had a mystery she could delve into...
"Well, it doesn't matter if you know or if you've thought about it." The Werebeast said, as she chuckled with that same soft tone ringing out through the explorer's ears. "You'll definitely think about it now. And since you noticed me, there's no way you'll be able to forget. That's good enough for me, even if I didn't intend on being noticed."
"Who... Who are you, really?" Claudine had a lot of questions on her mind. But right now she just wanted to understand who she was talking with. That way, she could at least attribute her gratitude to a name. And then from there, she could blame her if things turned south...
"Sanagi." The Werebeast said, before closing her eyes. "I don't think I can afford to tell you much more than that. But if you want to understand more... You should take a look at the Church. They're hiding more from you and your friends that you might imagine."
Claudine wasn't sure if she should believe everything she heard from her lips. Even if she wanted more answers. But as Sanagi started to walk away, she couldn't stop herself. "Sanagi, wait-"
Only for her to blink just once, and the fox disappeared. All while it sounded like she had just been submerged in water once more. Like everything... Everything returned to normal....
People were once again walking down the road. People were still in their diapers. People were... People were going along with the state of the world, a state that she now knew was false...
She could join them. She could maintain the bliss she had before. The life of being padded was filled with bliss. There was nothing that was going to stop her from just continuing to enjoy it. But she knew she only had one choice.
...To solve the mystery of the padded world, she had to investigate the Church. And she knew just where to start. Especially since she had all of her equipment on hand, and heading there wouldn't take long. Especially if she used her runes...
Thus, with her head held high, and her heart beating for a new mystery, Claudine Celice set off towards the port city of Enfield. All for the sake of unraveling this world that felt so fake.
All for the sake of understanding why everyone had to be diapered.
