8:00 AM
*beep* *beep* *beep*
“hgnnn” I slowly opened my eyes as my morning alarm sounded.
*beep* *beep* *beep*
“Yeah, yeah....” finally sitting up, I reached over to my phone to turn off the alarm. Unfortunately, instead of tapping the screen and turning off the alarm... it fell off my nightstand and onto the floor.
*beep* *beep* *beep*
I sighed. Getting up off my bed, I reached down and grabbed my phone, finally turning off the alarm. Placing my phone back on my nightstand, I walked out to my kitchen, stretching my arms as I did.
When I reached my kitchen, I put on a pot of coffee. Once that started cooking, I headed over to the bathroom. Looking into the mirror, I took in my appearance. Mid-length black hair, mismatched red-and-grey eyes, and a permanently sleepy expression. Yawning, I began pulling off my sleep clothes, and stepped into the shower.
As the warm water ran down my skin, I sighed contentedly. Honestly, if I didn't have responsibilities I'd just stay here all day... but alas, I had a café to run. Finishing up in the shower, I dried myself off, and got my work clothes from the closet. I got myself a cup of coffee, and some cereal.
As I finished, I stood up and stretched. Taking a long exhale, I grabbed my phone and my earbuds, and made my way out the door.

Leaving my small house, I walked through the somewhat crowded streets of Costora. So many kinds of people passed me by... humans, elves, goblins, people of all kinds. Costora, being a coastal town and travel hub, always had a large variety of people passing through... ever since I was a kid, i thought about living here. Never imagined I'd open my own café, though...
Speaking of said café, I had arrived at my own café... the Beacon Café. A small, cozy, café, located decently close to the port... and it was somehow mine. I unlocked the door, and walked in to begin preparing for the day.

12:00 PM
It was now noon. I-I don’t know where i was going with that, but my employee finally showed up, so i could take a break from being on the counter. and work on behind the scenes stuff instead. yaaaay.
“Sup’ boss.”
“Hey Lucy.” my sole employee, Lucy. a dragon girl a few years younger than me, with purple hair done in a pixie cup.
“aight, go get changed, and you can do whatever it is you do when there aren't any customers.”
“mhm” with that, Lucy left to head to the back to change. there weren't any customers right now, most didn’t start showing up for another half-hour-ish. As she got back, I stood up and headed back to the back of the cafe. I had to sort through our stock, maybe make some orders, and just generally keep things running… maybe i could also get a bit of gacha grinding in before i had to man the counter again…
—-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5:45 PM
I was back on the counter now, Lucy’s shift ended around 15 minutes ago. Even if I wasn’t the greatest with people, sitting at the counter and seeing the customers enjoy the coffee always made me feel nice. it was very chill, and quiet. most people here seemed to be content to stick to themselves, working on one task or another.
though, if her timing was on point (and it usually was) said quiet was about to be… less quiet.
*ringring*
“yooo, Ruby!” and right on cue, with the sound of the door opening, here she was: Sammy, an old friend from school. A catgirl with light brown hair filled with pink stripes, Sammy confidently strode up to a stool, and sat down.
I sighed, but couldn't stop a small smile. “Hey Sammy. here to disrupt my peace once again?”
the crazy catgirl grinned. “Yup! aaaand not alone!” Sure enough, another person sat down next to Sammy. I recognized them as well.
“Hey Doc.” Doc. Cassidy, Sammy’s boss, and another member of our friend group. a taller woman, with black hair done in a bun, Doc. Cassidy was… strange. In a good way, though. Being a scientist, she actually helped me perfect my coffee… and added a little something special to it.
“Hello.”
“So, you two want your usual's?” I asked, though I could already guess the answer. In fact, I was already moving to make them.
“Yup yup!”
“Yes, thank you.”
As I got to work, Sammy began speaking; “So, Rubes, you checked out the new alchemist shop over by the docks?”
“nope, unlike you two I’ve no need for potions. Why do you ask?”
“no real reason, just thought you might wanna check it out, maybe grab some potions to try mixing with coffee, or something?”
I finished up Sammy and Doc. Cassidy’s drinks, and set them down in front of them. “I mean, I guess I could. do they have anything out-of-the-ordinary there?”
“a few things, yeah. I've heard their potions also have a bit more kick to them than normal.” with this, Sammy grinned. not a normal grin, no, the type of grin you see on a person with a plan. as she was saying this, i was taking a large drink of my own coffee, except… something tasted off…
“goddamit Sammy, this better not make working impossible.”
“Don’t worry, you'll (probably) be able to finish up work no problemo!”
I sighed. I could already tell what she had put in my drink, and… somehow wasn't surprised. Slowly, I could feel myself start to expand, as my weight began to rise. it was moving a lot faster than normal to… I guess Sammy wasn’t kidding about the extra kick…
A Mana potion, but a much more potent one. While the extra mana is nice, the extra weight it brings is a bit annoying.
as the mana entered my body, i could feel my weight steadily climbing… starting from my typical 59 kg, it soon went to 65… then to 74… i won’t lie, it was a pleasant feeling, the plushness slowly coating every part of my body… It was also a good thing I always wore slightly too large clothing in case of shenanigans.
80kg now… this was normally where it stopped, but as i said, Sammy wasn’t joking about the extra kick. my weight soon reached around 85, and i could feel the now slightly-to-small clothing starting to strain… I sighed again, but couldnt help the small smile that came to my face.
As my weight continued to climb, I looked over to Sammy, who was both grinning and blushing. Doc. Cassidy was, however, as unbothered as ever. (though i could’ve sworn i saw a bit of amusement in her eyes…)
90kg… i could hear my sleeves and pants begin to strain at this point, as my legs and arms continued to swell with fat. that said, the rest of my body wasn’t far behind. my belly had long since begun poking out of my shirt, and I was sure my bra was about to snap…
*snap* *ping!* speak of the devil… my bra had snapped, though luckily my shirt was still intact, though barley. even if that broke, i would at least have my apron… the ping however, was my pants button finally giving up. i hit the back of the counter, and ricocheted to almost hit me. there was still one B that had yet to break something, though… so any second now…
*riiiiip!* and there we go. I sighed… but at least it seemed my growth was coming to an end. I believe it was around 100kg, but until I got home and checked my scale, I wouldn't know for sure.
I leveled my gaze at Sammy. she… just grinned. her blush had grown strong though… hmm…
“So, Sammy? happy with your handiwork? like what you see?” I made my tone as sexual as I could, and her blush continued to intensify.
despite that, she grinned; “Maaaaaaybe”
I sighed again. “You're paying for new clothes.”
She blinked; “err… yeah thats fair. in my defense, i didn’t think you'd get this big!”
"You're also driving me home.”
“do I have t-”
“do it and i’ll let you touch my belly.”
“yes ma’am”

12:00 AM
“hahhhh” it was now midnight, and i was laying in bed… a bed that seemed to creak a bit more than normal… Well, I'm sure it was nothing to worry about. I checked my scale earlier, and I was right on the money. 100 kg exactly. Sammy had promised to take me to get new clothes tomorrow, so I guess the cafe would have to take a day off… Well, that wasn’t a big deal. even with magic, it’ll still take a week or so to work this off, so in the meantime… I'll enjoy the extra softness, I suppose.
I’d also have to plan for Sammy making more use of this new shop for more of her shenanigans… welp, just another day in the life, i guess…
