[Honkai: Star Rail] Aventurine Says, 'Don't Look Down on the Young'

It's Aventurine x Dr. Ratio, that's right: Aventurine seme x Dr. Ratio uke. I love watching the crazy gambler little peacock torment his sharp-tongued adoptive father, and now I'm shipping them as a beautiful couple too (sobs).

Kakavasha was a child blessed by the Mother Goddess. No matter how much suffering he endured, he always emerged victorious.

That is, until he picked up a talking watch (not a Xiaocai Tiexue children's smartwatch).

[The wicked slave traders have captured you and sold you to a scumbag who likes watching people suffer. Host, use the Flame Fist on the scumbag buyer now!]

Because of copyright issues, Kakavasha did not use the Flame Fist on the buyer.

[This is so upsetting! Jade of the IPC has captured you and made some disparaging remarks. Host, shout, 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Don't look down on a poor young man!' and unlock the banished-marriage, overpowered-dragon-protagonist manual!]

Though he'd never been above shamelessness when it came to survival, Kakavasha thought the phrase was way too ridiculous and didn't enter the overpowered-dragon-protagonist password.

[Adoptive father... Oh, no, my God! Dr. Ratio actually dared to insult you. Even though he's already apologized, old pal, you should kick that perky ass of his hard with your boot!]

Because the System's damnable translationese, Aventurine couldn't help shifting his gaze to Professor Ratio's ass, and was met with a dark look and a string of taunts.

It's a little risky, but worth a try. After all, he's a damn gambler. Not going all in would be a disgrace to the name.

So, next up: everything or nothing.

"May the Mother Goddess close her eyes for you thrice,

May your blood forever pulse,

May your journey always be smooth,

And may your schemes never be exposed."
