Patchouli Knowledge can most often be found enjoying a book in the Scarlet Devil Mansion library. Even as a witch who barely moves at all, Patchouli still gets peckish for snacks and craves a hot cup of tea. There are even times she itches to try on a maid outfit...
Despite being the mistress of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, Remilia Scarlet is rarely seen lifting a finger to help keep it in shape. She's far more likely to be seen in an unlikely place doing something unexpected for fun. On this day, for example, she was serving Patchouli while wearing a maid outfit.
A snack is a type of food eaten not for sustenance but for pleasure. Humans have been consuming snacks for millennia, as shown by cave paintings depicting methods for harvesting honey dating back roughly 10,000 years. And there's much more evidence of humans consuming food not just for its nutritional value but also for its flavor throughout recorded history, especially salty and sweet foods. It's not a stretch to say the pursuit of flavor is the driving force behind the creation of different snacks to this very day.
The Maids' Chocolate Hell
"Where on earth did she learn about that?" thought Remilia as Patchouli called out the name of a sweet she'd never heard of and the accompanying recipe. "Guess that means she wants me to make it," concluded Remilia. This wasn't the first time Patchouli had made an obscure request, so Remilia knew from experience that she was in for a bumpy ride.
Remilia listened closely to Patchouli's cryptic request, and after countless hours, a mountain of wasted ingredients, dozens of helping hands, and innumerable failed attempts... she finally presented her creation. "Was this what Patchouli wanted?" "Will she even like it?" Remilia's silent wonderings would go forever unanswered. She stole a glance at Patchouli's expression but learned nothing new, for she was already fully absorbed in the magic book in her hand.
