Byleth tries to help her overcome her shyness

“Come on, you really should come out.”

“I don’t want to! How many times do I have to say it before you get it!” Bernadetta exclaimed from behind her door. Byleth sighed, knowing that she was probably wasting her breath with this routine, but she felt she had to at least try.

“Don’t you want to overcome your shyness?” Byleth asked.

“I…I don’t know. B-but it doesn’t matter! I don’t think anything could help me overcome it!” The younger girl exclaimed.

“Really?” Byleth asked, and Bernadetta went quiet for a moment, before eventually speaking in a quiet tone.

“M-maybe if I experienced something really humiliating, but…” She trailed off, and Byleth closed her eyes.

“Humiliating, huh…?”

“Wh-what was that, professor?” The shy girl asked, but Byleth was already fixated on something else.

“I’ll be back. Stay here.” She said as she walked off.

“I wouldn’t go anywhere even if you told me to.” Bernadetta said with a huff, wondering why the professor seemed in a hurry all of a sudden. She wasn’t left wondering for very long before the professor suddenly showed up, and thrust open the girl’s door, which she thought had been locked. “AHHHH! WH-WHAT?! HOW-“

“I know how to lockpick.” She said bluntly. “It’s an important skill to have.” Bernadetta looked at the items in the professor’s hands, and was confused as she saw some rope and a…leash?

“Wh-what do you want?” She asked, but Byleth didn’t answer. She simply started walking towards Bernadetta, who tried to back away, but soon found herself against the wall. Byleth chucked the items onto the girl’s bed, and grabbed her, quickly pulling off her uniform. “H-hey! What are you…hey, st-stop! STOP!” She struggled, but was no match for the strong mercenary as she felt her uniform being stripped away from her and thrown aside. Soon, she was left in just underwear covering her petite frame. Her skin was pale, for obvious reasons, and she tried to cover herself as she squealed, but Byleth didn’t stop. She quickly undid the girl’s bra and threw it aside as well, leaving the shy girl to cover both of her modest breasts with her hands, giving Byleth the opportunity to yank down her panties, and remove them as well as her socks and shoes, leaving her completely naked.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” Bernadetta screamed as she tried to cover her modesty. Byleth said nothing as she grabbed the rope with one hand, and one of the student’s arms with the other, pulling it behind her back and forcing her to her knees. The poor girl whined at the lewd position she was left in, trying to cover her butt with her free hand, but that was a mistake. Byleth grabbed that arm as well, holding both down with a single strong hand as she started wrapping the rope around them. Before Bernadetta knew it, her hands were bound behind her back, leaving her with no way to cover herself. She fell onto the floor with her butt in the air as Byleth grabbed the leash. “O-OKAY! THIS REAAAAALLY ISN’T FUNNY ANYMORE! N-not that it was funny to begin with, B-BUT STILL! UNTIE ME!” She shouted, thrashing around wildly to try to free herself. But then, to her horror, she felt the collar the leash was attached to get slipped around her neck.

“You ready?” She asked.

“NO! FOR WHAT?! WHATEVER IT IS, NO!” Bernadetta screamed. “WHAT IS GOING ON?!”

“Training.” Byleth said, and started pulling Bernadetta towards the door, much to her horror. She tried to pull back.

“W-wait! We can’t go out there! I’m…I’m…”

“Naked, yes. You said the only way you could overcome your shyness was something humiliating, so here.” Byleth said as she kept pulling, dragging the naked girl closer and closer to the door.

“Curse me and my big mouth!” Bernadetta said with a whine as she tried to dig her feet into the ground to stop her. She could feel the breeze from outside tickling parts of her she wasn’t comfortable with, and she was already feeling her cheeks burning. “S-surely there’s something else, anything else! Just please don’t make me go out there like thiiiiis!!” It was no use, and before she knew it, she was out in the daylight, the warm sun making her body feel even hotter than it already was. Thankfully there wasn’t anybody in the immediate vicinity, but even just being outside like this was enough to make the poor girl feel like she was gonna have a panic attack.

“You’ll be fine.” Byleth said, but the shy girl didn’t feel very reassured.

“People are gonna see me people are gonna see me people are gonna see me people are gonna see me people are gonna see me…” She muttered to herself.

“You really should get up.” Byleth said.

“NO! Then people will…s-see me…” She whined.

“Then you’ll be dragged across the ground.” Byleth said flatly, implying she had **** in doing this. Bernadetta gave it some thought. Either she could stand up and let everybody see everything with no way to cover herself…or get dragged across the ground and not only get dirty, but probably get scraped up, and possibly get infected, and sick, and if it messed up her butt, it would hurt to sit down, and-

“F-fine…” She relented as Byleth let her get to her feet, though her legs were shaking uncontrollably. “P-please tell me we’re just going around this area…?” Byleth simply gave her a look, and Bernadetta knew that was too much to ask for. She had already resolved that once this was over, she’d never show her face ever, ever, ever again, not to anybody, ever, but for now, she had to deal with the pure embarrassment and horror of her situation as Byleth pulled her along.
