Bo Yexu's true form is a plant.

As a plant that can survive just fine with sunlight and water, she has always had only one requirement for work: don't interact with people. Just leave her alone.

But things didn't go as she wished. She was only thinking things over out in the wilderness when a young Geovishap Hatchling knocked her into a completely unfamiliar place.

With no identity or job, unable to use her old Mora, no way to find her way back, and forced to explain her origins in detail to everyone who questioned her...

Bo Yexu's vision went black. Terrified of dealing with strangers, she decided that if she was going to fall, she might as well lie down right there.

As for work, she'd think about it after she came back to life.jpg

Asaba Yuma hadn't expected the introverted girl of unknown origins to actually decide to join the busy Public Security Division, a job that required her to interact with lots of people.

But after spending more time together, Asaba Yuma gradually began to have his doubts.

When Tsukishiro Yanagi caught him and tried to stop him from cutting work, Bo Yexu would promptly hand her evidence.

When Hoshimi Miyabi hesitated over what kind of training to do that day, Bo Yexu would offer strange suggestions, like not giving Asaba Yuma any chance to slack off.

Hoshimi Miyabi happily took her advice, then seriously kept an eye on him in the office all day.

When he tried to sneak off with Soukaku, using storytelling as an excuse to squat in a corner and slack off, Bo Yexu would pull out a new sketchbook or some snacks, ruining his plan before it could even begin.

Asaba Yuma: ???

This wasn't the Bo Yexu he'd met at first! Had she been possessed by something?

In response, Bo Yexu, hurriedly revising his documents, said, "Take a look at the reports you've written, then ask me that again."

Later, the passage between the two worlds opened once more, and Asaba Yuma finally saw the peaceful, tranquil world Bo Yexu had described.

Happy times always come to an end. Though they both knew the day of parting would come, when Bo Yexu actually stood before the passage and asked whether he wanted to stay with her, Asaba Yuma still reached out his hand.

"I'll stay with Public Security Section Six."

"What about you? Do you want to stay with me?"

1. Slice of life. There probably won't be much of a main plot. I just want to write some little stories.

2. Pairing: Bo Yexu x Asaba Yuma. They may be out of character, please forgive me.

3. Lots of personal headcanons.

Here's the blurb for an upcoming story:

As one of the few people in the tavern who didn't worship Aha, Deng Miao had always done as she pleased, caring only about what she liked.

A fugitive wanted criminal who turned himself in after being frightened by his own shadow, a philanthropist who broke down sobbing and repenting at a podium in front of a crowd... These figures, who seemed to have nothing in common in the news, had all been secretly influenced by Deng Miao.

But sometimes, Deng Miao would be drawn to the flames and step from behind the scenes into the spotlight.

For instance, when she met Aventurine on Penacony.

Though none of their encounters had been particularly pleasant memories, whether she was swallowed by memoria or hit on the head by a screaming doll, Deng Miao couldn't help growing curious about him.

After the events on Penacony were over, she found a friend and asked them to investigate Aventurine's upcoming itinerary.

Facing her friend's teasing look, Deng Miao seemed to be enjoying herself.

If the journey were too smooth, where would the fun be?

Aventurine had always felt that Deng Miao's purpose was to bring more surprises to his journey.

In a casino, she casually swept away a tableful of chips, enough to give an ordinary person a comfortable life, then boldly grabbed his tie and declared in front of everyone, "I want you."

On the Chaohua Star, she proclaimed her love in public amid a crowd, then turned around and acted as if it had never happened, leaving him alone to face the rumors.

Whether they were pleasant surprises or shocks, Aventurine had never taken any of it seriously.

Not until the moment before the planet's destruction, when Aventurine stood still and watched Deng Miao walk toward him, unhurried, as if she were on her way to a ball. Only then did he realize:

This Masked Fool, who always hid her intentions behind flames, had wagered everything she had from the very beginning.

Before you read:

1. Pairing: Aventurine

1. Most of the planets are original, apart from Penacony, so there will be lots of original characters and possibly fewer familiar characters from the canon storyline.

2. Happy ending.

3. Honkai: Star Rail has a lot of plot, so there may be some personal headcanons mixed in.

4. Set after the 2.3 main story. Please don't worry if it conflicts with the original.
