Beware the Deep Blue Trap [Honkai: Star Rail]

[Sandwich cookie] Extra chapters are currently updating.

You were rescued from a pile of ore and, in a daze, signed a contract selling yourself into servitude.

Your boss is a heartless businessman who doesn't pay you for your work, but at least he gives you food and lodging.

You're an optimistic person. Even after losing your memory and ending up in a foreign land, you still try your best to make a life for yourself, which mostly means working for your boss.

When your boss opens a shop, you pour the drinks. When he smuggles goods, you make deliveries. When he runs a scam, you keep watch. Overall, you may not get paid, but your boss's cooking is so delicious that you're quite satisfied with the job.

But as you work, you discover something terrible.

You think you might have fallen for your boss.

That's no good. Even the most generous boss wouldn't allow an office romance, would he?

To avoid getting kicked out, you decide to swallow your feelings and be a good, hardworking employee.

Until one day, you see the same desire in his eyes that burns in yours.

...So those little things he does now and then really are meant to seduce you?

Tips:

1. This is a work of Sampo fanboying taken to the extreme, written entirely in the second person, with Sampo as the love interest. I hope it brings you a little joy.

2. The followers act, the Aeon pays. The final say on this story belongs to Aha.

3. Lots of headcanon ahead.

4. The outline was written before Version 4.0. The male lead is very mysterious, so many details are just the author's own guesses. Please don't worry about them.

Theme: No matter what, keep moving forward.
