[Honkai: Star Rail] Sunday Without God

Just before the Charmony Festival began, Julian unexpectedly learned that he had become Sunday's lover.

He hadn't even had time to accept that the god he revered had descended to the mortal world before one disaster after another struck the Charmony Festival. One by one, people with hidden agendas came to light, and the path to building a "paradise" filled with repulsive thorns.

Unacceptable. Absolutely unacceptable.

If anyone tried to destroy the head of the family's dream, he would eliminate them. If shadows still lingered wherever the god's gaze fell, he would bury the darkness before the god could see it.

He was the most devout believer and the coldest blade. He would do anything for the god in his heart, give everything, and clear away every obstacle in their path... until he was dragged off to prison, charged with the murder of Robin.

After discovering that his most trusted subordinate, childhood friend, and closest family member had been hiding little schemes from him, Sunday chose to confess his love to Julian. By becoming even more intimate lovers, he could observe Julian's every move more closely.

The Julian who acted meek, sweet, and obedient in front of him seemed to have a completely different side in secret.

And just as Sunday was about to part the clouds and glimpse the truth buried beneath the snow, a dagger pressed against his throat.

You want to build a paradise for humanity, where everyone can find happiness. For the sake of this paradise, you are willing to bury yourself in the cold reality.

But as for me, all I want is to see you happy.

As long as you're happy, I don't care who suffers.

No one can bring down my sun.

Warnings:

New author. The writing is awful, and the only thing I have going for me is my love for Sunday.

I haven't fully figured out the Penacony plot. If anything conflicts with the game's setting, just assume it's the author's own interpretation.

Not related to the Japanese light novel with the same title.

There will be original characters other than the protagonist with major roles.

One-on-one romance, pairing with Sunday.

Coming soon: Can I sneak a kiss on Sunday's feathered ears while confessing to him?

As a company executive, Julian was sent to Penacony to negotiate a deal.

The negotiations went smoothly. After a night of toasts and clinking glasses, he was invited to try Penacony's signature attraction: confession.

"Confess? Let me think. Oh, I've committed so many crimes, I can't decide which one to talk about."

"Buying land cheaply during an economic collapse and driving out all the people who lived there? Having the people who wanted to overthrow a tyrant slaughtered after accepting a commission from an emperor? Or promising to help a planet recover, then leaving it to a subordinate and standing by as it was swallowed up by disaster? ...Oh, there are too many! I could talk for three days and three nights!"

Drunk and in high spirits, he rambled on, lost in the fantasy that he was the villain of some grand tale. When he got no reply, he angrily pushed open the hidden door separating him from his listener.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

Then he froze, sobering up halfway.

The person behind the door, looking at him with disgust, was his dead first love.

He'd even carved a little tombstone for him and went back to mourn him every year. :)

He is nothing like I imagined: frivolous, carefree, and arrogant, the sort of person I thought I hated most., Sunday

He is nothing like I imagined: cold, dull, and bound by convention, the sort of person I thought I hated most., Julian

"I could never fall in love with him!", Sunday and Julian

Later, they were buried together, even in death. (

Same protagonist. Expected to be a romantic comedy, focused on the two of them, no elaborate plot twists.

Theme: Learn all you can, but most of all, learn to be a good person
