A private forum at the Corporation:
[Question: Whose kid is the "Young Lady"?]
[For real, everyone knows that Lord Aventurine has been raising a child lately, but I once heard the kid call him "brother." Does anyone know whose kid the Young Lady is?]
[1F: No idea, but the Young Lady is adorable, and Director Aventurine is gorgeous too. Next!]
[2F: Lady Jade's? A while back, I heard there was a child crying in Lady Jade's office, but the rumor was quickly suppressed (you know what I mean).]
[3F: So everyone's decided it's one of the Ten Stonehearts? Could it be someone from another department?]
[4F: I'll say this first: it definitely isn't the Market Development Department. Our Strategic Investment Department and the Market Development Department are sworn enemies!]
[5F: The person above is an obsessive Ten Stonehearts fan. There's no hope for them. Take them away, take them away.]
[...]
[23F: So no one's guessing that person? You know, that Emanator. Who else could get the Ten Stonehearts to raise a kid?]
[...]
[38F: Ever wonder why nobody's guessing that person? If you want this post deleted, just say so.]
[42F Aventurine: You're all so curious? Have you met this month's targets? (smile)]

Warnings:
1. Ailovien is a real child. No System, and she has not embarked on a Path, but her intuition is sharp and she'll have "money powers" in the future.
2. Slice of life, child-rearing story, no CP, no romance, not even one-sided crushes! The timeline is six years before the main story starts. The kid is only six when the main story begins, and only six to eight by the end. I may or may not write much of the Honkai: Star Rail main story, depending on how I feel.
3. A beloved-by-all story, a feel-good power fantasy. Nobody will hurt the baby, and the baby will grow up smoothly. How is that not satisfying? JPG.
4. Can't think of anything else. Next.
5. The kid is not Aventurine's, not Aventurine's! He's in the role of an older brother or friend. The kid's identity might not be revealed even by the end. Anyway, we'll see where the story goes.
