[Honkai: Star Rail] What Should I Do If a Corporate Executive Takes a Liking to Me?

A powerful but brainless underling girl x Aventurine

--

Three months after I joined the Interastral Peace Corporation by unconventional means, I finally got a boss willing to take me on.

He might have looked scrawny and frail, like he’d shatter at a touch and fall to his knees if you poked him, which meant that on top of being his subordinate, I also had to moonlight as his combat instructor and personal bodyguard.

But he was handsome, generous, and good-tempered, clever and bold. One flutter of those pretty eyes was all it took to charm me, so I gritted my teeth and accepted my lot.

Luckily, my boss was smart and hardworking. With my specialized training, he soon no longer needed me to protect him personally. Satisfied, I turned around and threw myself into the arms of my many beauties.

A long time later, long enough for my boss to rise from an obscure nobody to a famous executive in the company, I too benefited from his success, getting promoted and earning a raise, with countless underlings at my beck and call.

One ordinary morning, I woke up as usual from between the breasts of a beautiful older sister, arrived at work just in time, saw my handsome, wealthy boss, and on a whim handed him some flowers I'd picked by the roadside.

The smile that was always on my boss's face vanished. He stared at the flowers for a long time, then asked me:

“Do you know what day it is today?”

Huh? What day could it be? A workday, obviously. It couldn't be his birthday or some holiday from his home planet, could it? I looked at his expression and didn't dare say anything.

My boss took the flowers and said nothing more. He turned around and, as usual, went off to gamble with his life and get himself killed, then escaped death under my protection.

But from then on, whenever he woke up alive, he gave me a strange look and added clause number 76 to our unfair contract:

[You are not allowed to sleep with anyone else. If you really can't sleep, you can come to me.]

As if I’d ever obediently listen. But he said he wouldn't take me with him the next time he went off to die unless I followed the rule, so I had no choice but to give in through tears.

After all, if he really died, where would I find another boss this good?

The heroine is scatterbrained and lacks proper self-awareness. She's a dead-serious lunatic, a vulgar woman who likes money and good looks.

Aventurine: What a coincidence. I have both good looks and money.

A friendly reminder:

1. First-person narration, with lots of the heroine's inner thoughts.

2. One-on-one pairing, not a traditional happy ending.

3. Anything not established by HoYoverse is original headcanon.
