[Honkai: Star Rail] Aventurine's Endless Schemes

[Updates at midnight; no updates on Wednesdays. Revising and correcting.] V starts on September 6, with a 10,000-word update then.

[As an angel investor, Viller has only ever invested in two people in his life.

The first was Oswaldo Schneider. The second was Kakavasha.

The former was the head of the Market Development Department, whose work made Viller famous, but also left his reputation mixed.

The latter held the cornerstone of the Ten Stonehearts, Aventurine, and turned Viller into the most generous investor in the universe. After all, this guy even gave himself away...]

After reading this third-rate tabloid piece, Viller fell into deep thought.

“Aventurine,” he called to the other person involved. “Have we offended someone lately?”

“How did those reporters write about our relationship like that?”

Aventurine reached out and pulled him into his arms. “Then what do you think our relationship is?”

Viller: “Of course we're good friends!”

Aventurine: “...?”

Viller: “Or maybe... partners?”

Aventurine: “...?!”

Ever since then, Viller had felt that Aventurine was acting a little strangely.

Every day, he asked what he should wear.

He brought Viller along to every banquet.

Now and then, he gave him specialties from other star systems, usually rare flowers...

Unable to understand this behavior, Viller wondered in amazement:

Why is Director Aventurine like this?

To figure it out, Viller secretly bought a bestselling book, The Workplace Survival Guide: Reading Your Boss's Mind Through Microexpressions.

Meanwhile, Aventurine bought a less popular book, Unraveling a Secret Crush: How to Let Someone Know How You Feel.
