Yes, I was surprised as well. Keep in mind, however, that was a hack done on the save file with a hex editor, so it is (most likely) impossible to accomplish by playing through the game normally. I spotted a hex editing FAQ (on GameFAQs, I think), and wanted to map as much as possible... that file was the culmination of my efforts.
Another fun hack trick is to start off the game with a few million gold... allows you to skip working and go straight to education.

In that case, it is most likely a combination of Sensitivity and (I believe) Morals. If your daughter is very sensitive (usually 300+) with low/no morals, she may run away. It's been a while since I played the game, but I seem to remember that those are the criteria. A few months of heavy Church work and/or Housework will help.

You can also obtain Ancient Milk at a few places in-game... but if your daughter is way over the weight limit, the "final summer" approach is a good last-ditch method to use. Also, there's Cait Sith, but that's a fairly unrealiable source of weight loss.

I think Cait Sith visit you can change her height or weight but not her bust size. Just saying.
I did check out Cait Sith (never ran into him in-game - looked it up), and you're right. You can adjust weight up/down or height up/down, but not bust size. The Venus necklace affects Charisma (sexiness) and a couple of other statistics, but not bust size. And Lucifon can raise a stat of your choice, but does not alter physical attributes. The mermaid in PM2 only affects sensitivity, but there may be one in PM1, PM3, or the re-release of PM2 (unlikely... it was mostly just a graphics overhaul) that does this... I'm not really sure.
As an interesting note, if your daughter takes a buxomize pill, there is a hidden in-game value that toggles from "1" to "3". I'm really not sure what this does, exactly, but my guess is that it increases her bust growth rate slightly (the amount added on each month). Based on this, if bust size is your goal, it's not a bad idea to try to clear 1000 gold early, but make sure you end up with enough (1200 gold) to buy a buxomize pill when the travelling salesman comes around the first time. Clearing 1000 will only take a few months, but clearing 1200 when you do will be difficult, and will most likely require a triple-work month.
Now, for anyone who's wondering WHY increasing your daughter's bust size is important (besides pure "Ecchi" factor)...
- If she's old enough (15+, I seem to recall), the Old Dragon in the ruins will give her gold when she visits, based on her chest size. Larger chest = larger reward
- I believe that bust size is one of the factors that go into the daughter's ability to develop a relationship with the King's Concubine.
P.W.
Life is hard.
Except in ren'ai games.
Then it's a whole lot softer.
In the course of the game she tends to run away about 8 to 10 times...have yet to figure out why...anyone know what the way is to stop her from running away?
) I guess it would depend on things like whether you always talk to her regularly and whether she's getting any treats.
