Another day had begun in Gensokyo, the sun rolling across the hills to bring it's warmth for the future hours. Naturally up early and properly dressed, Sakuya walked through the mansion to prepare everyone for the following day. Having worked with Patchouli actively over the past days, she decided it would be best to wake her up first. Her magical abilities had proved to be vastly useful in their plan against Marisa, so another early morning batch of the enchanted food would be easy to create.
Entering the bedchamber of the magician, Sakuya lit the candles in the room and approached the bed Patchouli slept in. She lifted the covers and let her stir in her own time and pace. Eventually, she awoke.
"Oh.....Miss Sakuya..." She groaned, clearly sleepy. "Is it morning already?...."
"Indeed it is. If you could so kindly wake so we can create more of Marisa's meals. The plan has been going swimmingly as of late!"
Patchouli smiled. "I am too pleased with the progress. Let us begin shortly...."
Rising out of her bed using her magic, Patchouli hovered over to the desk of her bedroom. While the tired girl did lose her balance while hovering, swinging left and right while almost crashing into the wall, she still made it over to her dressing table.
"Shall I assist you in dressing yourself Lady Patchouli?" Sakuya offered. Being the head maid, she tried to be as helpful as possible. She avidly assisted Remilia in dressing herself, along with the occasional help for Patchouli if she desired.
"Yes please Sakuya...." From the huge yawn she let out, it was clear why she wanted the help. Removing her worn nightgown she had slept in, a cause for concern gripped Sakuya.
Patchouli's body had shrunk greatly. Sakuya knew her body type. She had always been on the larger side, years of staying in the library moulded her figure to be quite plump. But now that was all gone, her body now looking painfully thin. Her backbone jutted out on her skin, her rear was tiny compared to it's once jiggling mass. Through the mirror of the room, Sakuya could spy deflated breasts and visible ribs.
"Lady Patchouli! What on earth have you done to yourself?!" The elegant maid exclaimed.
Patchouli looked down at herself, then waved a bony hand nonchalantly. "It is nothing Miss Sakuya. Just a side effect of the spells I've been doing. I assure you, everything is just fi-"
Her sentence would cut off by Sakuya dragging the much thinner girl from her room all the way to the kitchen. Patchouli's magic was unable to focus at this time, causing her to alternate between hovering and walking, though being dragged all the while.
"You are ill enough as it is Lady Patchouli!" Sakuya yelled. "I will not have you risking your health like this! If you do wish to continue with this, then I must keep you well!"
She sat the partially naked girl onto a chair in the kitchen, followed by clawing her way through the pantries of the room. Many of the outside world delicacies lay on a table on the other side of the kitchen, obviously intended for their meddling guest. For Patchouli, Sakuya created many of her usual meals, a variety of meats and sponge cakes. Being a talented chef, this did not take long to make.
Presenting the large spread to Patchouli, Sakuya stared at her. "From now on, you will be kept on a strict diet. You must eat all the food I serve you, no matter how much it is. If you fail to follow this, I will be to resort to forcefeeding. Do you understand Lady Patchouli?"
Taking note of the maid's concern for her well being, Patchouli did indeed understand. "Yes I do. From now on, I will eat what you desire me to." While she was intimidated by the sheer size of the portion she had, as well as what else Sakuya had in store for her, she knew better than to anger her by disobeying. Taking the first dish prepared for her, Patchouli began to eat it with a quick pace.
"I am glad you are going along with this. Just remember, this is more for your own well being than it is for the success of our plan." Sakuya reminded her. With that, she remembered that Marisa was set for her now daily fattening breakfast. Taking the trays of outside world food from the table, she made her way to the library.
"They're not enchanted due to Lady Patchouli's situation, but they should still bulk her up well." She thought as she made her way there.
