>koyori raised the vial in triumph, her concoction finally complete
>despite having only grown by about 15 pounds, koyori had also grown quite tired of assistant-kun bullying her for it
>while she would have liked the potion to make her lose the weight instantly, it seemed impossible
>her attempts at performing alchemy had been... less than successful but she could fix chloe later
>instead the potion was a sort of appetite control
>koyori had calculated the exact amount of daily calories someone of her height would need to maintain the perfect body weight and also the perfect meal time spread to assure she would never be hungry otherwise
>all she had to do was drink and the potion would do the rest, these unsightly pounds will be gone in no time!
>the clanging from the lab's secret basement was getting louder, chloe was growing restless in her captivity
>koyori really was sorry to lock her up but her new... form couldn't be trusted
>chloe sounds about as hungry as i am right now, koyori thought
>koyori hadn't eaten in several hours, leaving herself hungry on purpose as part of the live test
>koyori drinks the concoction and after a few moments her hunger dissipates
>it worked!
>by her calculation her new controlled appetite should be making her hungry in about an hour and a half, leaving her just enough time to get home and cook her perfectly calculated dinner
>the oven timer beeped in unison with the first growling of her stomach, everything according to plan
>with her healthy dinner eaten and feeling no desire for more food, koyori rewarded herself with an early night, changing into her pajamas and settling on the couch to watch tv
>with the low volume of the tv in the background koyori drifted off
>in the real world chloe had taken the fall for koyori's experiments but here in her dreams koyori did not escape her fate
>she found herself strapped to a chair, playing the role of the unwilling test subject to chloe's mad desires
>koyori watched in horror as limbs extended, her torso elongating, her jaw jutting outward
>when her transformation was over koyori found herself both eight feet tall and locked in a cage
>koyori shoots up on the couch, waking from her nightmare in a cold sweat
>as she tries to catch her breath and the shot of adrenaline wears off, she feels a growing pain in her stomach
>"that nightmare really stressed me out," koyori thought to herself as she held her stomach, she hadn't gotten stress pains like this since the night before her hololive debut
>looking at the clock she saw it was only an hour before she would have woken up anyway so she decided to get a head start on her day
