Jinx refuses to fall into the daughteru roll so she doesn't count.
Yuffie is firmly daughteru numero uno.
Yorshka, (if I've got the right character) is the 'that neighbor girl' or 'daughteru's best friend', so she gets a reserved spot in the event she needs to be brought into the fold but is not a daughteru.
Zatanna holds a similar spot being a coworker/friend's daughter. While she can keep a reserved spot, it's at best a formality due her odd connection to Alchemist, being a former peer/acquaintence/friend. Strange to see this happen without time travel.
While none of the apocrypha are canon(as of yet), Nina is the most tenuous of the apocryphal daughterus. While easily checking every box on the adopt chart, going to the Amazons for help runs the risk of them keeping her, blocking proper adoption. We know he'd shank a god to death for a daughteru, sisteru or waifu, as is only proper, the state her sperm donor left her in and the fickle nature of the forces healing her might convince him to let them keep her. He may not want to but, every good fatheru will do whatever they need to for their daughteru. I'm not positive if Yuffie had been adopted when this came out but even if she had, I feel safe placing Nina as Zeroeth Daughteru. The will they won't they, what if, of child rearing. Again, weird that time travel was not involved.
Eri is second strongest daughteru, in that Yuffie is canon and Eri is not but she's got enough going for her that she might as well be. The narrative, as of writing this, could very easily lead directly into her adoption for the next arc. Maybe this is what he'll be doing during the time skip, he caught a case of dead before he was done with his first isekai so they set him up with a back up while he gets his metaphysical feet under him. I'd(id) read it.
David is not that good of a daughteru. He's definitely a troubled orphan in need adoption, adventure and a good home but he seems to be looking for an apprentice ship and not a family. Now the two aren't mutually exclusive, see Leon and Mathilda or Big Daddy and Hit-Girl, this kind of daughteru is very independent and carries external ties that force them to go their own way if being their mentor doesn't kill the father, see Leon and Mathilda or Big Daddy and Hit-Girl. In the event Alchemist finds a way back to DC from Night City (that's the right cyberpunk dystopia, right?) it's not guaranteed David would follow along. The door is open for him to join, it's up to him if he'll walk through it.
So, in total:
Kary is his significant other but, as of yet, no ones mom.
Jinx, his other significant other, not that he knows or admits to it. Yet. They've got time. If Yuffie needed to call someone mom, it's her.
Nina, Schrödinger's daughteru, takes Zeroeth place. Not sure if she'll ever be canon.
Yuffie, main daughteru, takes first space and oldest daughteru, also the only daughteru with a living mother figure, if you really really squint at Jinx when she's not looking. Completely canon.
Eri, the baby, takes second space as while she isn't canon yet, that yet is weaker than most. Will probably cause Yuffie issues and fears about being replaced. Someone should get on that when it happens in the possible future. Those kind fears are probably worse for adopted childrenru.
And finally David, whose just shy of being a reserve daughteru. Al has already planted the seed of a better life outside Night City and he hasn't met Mars girl yet so that leaves visiting other dystopian cities or following his mystical teacher cum father-figure when he finally ups and leaves this reality. My hope is that it takes place after Al leaves MHA on his own and tries to wander his way back behind the Source Wall. We didn't see Eri because he's not going to bring a 4-6 year old with him while he guns down scavs and assassinates impossible targets. Hopefully she's with a trusted babysitter in another city while he commutes to Night City. David while the oldest chronologically, stands as the middle child ontologically and hierarchically. I'm sure he'd say he's the oldest once the three are together but good luck prying that from Yuffie's sticky wizard-ninja hands with your Professional Cyberpunk Cleaner skills.
Quick reminder, while Alchemist has access to at least three forms of resurrection, killing your siblings because they're being annoying is still not allowed, no matter what Kary says.

I'm sorry, but I had to copy and paste that last post in MS Word so I could spellcheck it. Because your lack of spellchecking is very annoying.

I definitely see what you mean. I don't know everything you consider to be an issue but I know some of that came typing this out on my phone while cooking. Some of it is intentional to go with the "daughteru" bit I've got going on. And the last bits are probably from a lack of clean up after changing my mind on something.

Adding the 'u' to the otherwise perfectly good 'daughter' was a big part of it. Made me feel like punching my monitor.
So I fixed it on my end.

Ah, see that was completely intentional and had nothing to do with spellchecker. It's the daughter, and explicitly platonic, version of waifu. Al keeps adopting anime daughters so I'm addressing them as anime daughters.

Thank you! I've fixed it across all of the associated links.
I noticed it last night and fixed it in the header but I was a bit preoccupied fixing a few other things at the same time to dig around and find the 'Edit Thread' tool.

"...In a cup." Alec answered after a moment of thought. "Just make it the same as your own."
He didn't know what kind the chimera was making and, truth be told, his knowledge of tea was vanishingly thin. He knew that there were people that claimed to be able to determine someone's personality and general history from how they took their tea... But if it was an actual skill, it wasn't one that Alec had.
He watched attentively as Nedzu busied himself with a little box of tea leaves and a kettle that sat on an electric base. Nedzu didn't add any sugar or honey but he did indulge with a heavy amount of milk.
The small creature hummed happily as he brought a cup on a saucer over to where Alec sat and offered it to him. Alec held the gently steaming cup under his nose.
Floral. Citrusy. Kind of peppery. It smelled great, really.
Alec took a sip.
And it was disgustingly bitter, as he'd expected.
"You know, most humans simply cannot stand how I take my tea." Nedzu admitted after he'd crawled up and into his chair. "At this point, I've taken to thinking it may be a difference in taste buds."
"Probably." Alec admitted as he took another sip. The milk in it did help to temper the flavor to something reasonably palatable. "I know most people prefer to only have a little tea with their sugar."
Once upon a time, multiple life-times ago, Alec had been married. He remembered his wife then had loved bubble tea. Full of different jellies and beans. It hadn't been bad, the times he'd shared it with her.
Sweet, though. Even the 'Light' option had been incredibly sweet.
"A terrible habit." Nedzu remarked, sipping at his own cup. Well, for the small creature those sips were more like large gulps. "There are so many flavors to be enjoyed that are too subtle to taste under such circumstances."
"I suppose so." Alec didn't exactly agree. He also didn't disagree. He lacked any such comprehensive knowledge. "But are you able to taste them?"
"Absolutely!" And that didn't help narrow down Nedzu's species at all. "That's a very good question, actually. Your telling Yagi that I may in fact be a weasel was quite inspired."
"Hmm..." Alec hummed, buying himself a moment as his bilocation duplicate crept invisibly through the home of the director of the Hero Public Safety Commission. Nedzu had been so kind as to offer him an alibi, after all. "It doesn't quite match the body shape but it does fit the face and tail."
"So it does." Nedzu didn't smile but he seemed to sit up a bit straighter. "Still, not quite right. Would you care to try again?"
"No, I'm good." Alec could live with a bit of mystery. Dedicating hours upon hours to figuring out something that didn't have any impact on him... Well, he lacked the paranoia to do that too much these days. "What did you want to talk to me about?"
"...I understand you've been picking up part-time work around Tokyo." Nedzu stated, pulling his computer closer to himself. "Your employers often had rather good things to say about your work, too."
"I do have a reasonable amount of skill involving repair work. Things have changed throughout the years but a leaky pipe is a leaky pipe." Honestly, Alec hadn't even needed to use Repair or Mending as much as he'd expected. A lot of times, the work he'd found just involved getting dirty or working hard. "Some basic know-how and a willingness to figure things out on the spot is surprisingly valuable."
If Nedzu had been expecting Alec to be disturbed that the chimera was keeping tabs on him, he was going to be disappointed. Alec had worked under Batman, Nedzu's paranoia didn't compare at all.
Alec sipped his tea as he stared into Nedzu's beady little eyes. Meanwhile, Alec was also unplugging every appliance in the Director's home and going through her mail. He didn't find anything incriminating but he also really wasn't expecting to. Naoko Yui was a politician, not some rank amateur.
Ideally, he would actually be tracking down a black market broker known as Giran but Alec ran into more than a few roadblocks on that quest. He didn't remember the man's actual name, so Scrying didn't work well. The underworld itself was in something of a silent panic, too. It seemed someone had taken out the Yakuza and now every criminal element with more than three brain cells was running quiet.
"You might be surprised at how difficult that lesson is to instill in our students." Nedzu muttered, likely intentionally loud enough to be heard. "Alec, tell me. What would you think if I offered you a job?"
"I think I'm not qualified." Alec fired off without a second of hesitation. "One of your school's major points of pride is that you're fully staffed by licensed heroes."
"Very true!" Nedzu didn't quite chirp but his voice had definitely risen in pitch. "And if I told you that I might be interested in employing a secretary?"
"Well, first off, I am definitely not pretty enough for the position." Alec sent the rat half a grin, keeping his mouth shut. "Second... I'd suggest someone that would clash with your reputation. Someone sweet, kind and only terrifying if properly roused. Perhaps Midoriya Inko?"
Alec would hate to lose her as a babysitter for Eri but he was still happy enough to try and send the woman a little good luck.
"Who also does not have a hero license." Nedzu observed, taking another long sip of his terrible tea.
"You opened that door." Alec countered, drinking his own disgustingly bitter beverage.
"So I did." Nedzu agreed quietly. "Well, if you're not interested in such a position, may I ask how you plan to procure a more stable means of funding yourself?"
"I've got a few ideas." Alec admitted before he set his cup down on the desk in front of himself and reached into his jacket to extract a few folded sheets of paper. They were gently unfolded and then placed across from the chimera.
The top page, in large print, said 'Prestidigitation'.
"One option, I could sell powers." Which was slightly disingenuous. Spells were a bit more than just 'Powers'. They could open the door to entire fields of research, potentially change the balance of power entirely.
"I... See..." Nedzu crawled across his desk and shuffled the top page to the side so he could get at the actual contents. "And your other idea?"
"Well, I know a method of making Metallic Hydrogen. Once I get one metastable sample, I could manufacture more." Nedzu looked up in confusion at Alec's admission. "Supposedly has the properties of a room-temperature superconductor. I checked the prices of gold and platinum but someone bottomed out the value on those."
"You... Have access to such precious metals?" Nedzu couldn't seem to decide if he wanted to read what was in front of him or press Alec about how he had such valuable materials.
"I -am- a dragon." Alec countered, finally grinning and showing off a mouthful of sharp teeth. "And I know a thing or two about treasure."
Like what he'd just found under the Madame Director's bottom drawer of her wardrobe. Today was looking to be a very, very good day.
At least, for him.

Ah... an excellent example of one exchange, two conversations. Alec's not doing himself any favors declaring TO NEDZU'S FACE his intentions of replicating All For One's initial powerbase. Not to mention utilizing the Rat as a scapegoat.

I wonder if maybe Nezu is a little more desperate to get a handle on what he is than he admits, even to himself. I imagine he feels a lot less grounded and a lot more adrift than he realizes, and he wants, even needs, to figure out more about his origins.
Alchemist could most likely help with that, given his vast access to almost every divination spell out there via Wish.

I had to go back and re-read the chapter, because this line so late in it shifted my view of the entire scene. For some reason, I had in my head that he was in a human-ish form during the meeting, but this line makes me think he was in his Void Dragon form. And then I re-read it again, just because after the first re-read, the idea of him being in his miniature Void Dragon form tickled my funny bone in such a way I had to read the conversation with that image in mind, with Nezu having the meeting with a Dragon the same exact size as him.

I thought AFO couldn't mint powers? To sellpowers to someone he first had to steal that power from someone else.
Alex would have a smaller catalog* of smaller powers he could sell over and over again, with several people having the same power. Which is something the gov't would be interested in, on account of being able to have a standardized doctrine for use of those power they could integrate broadly.
The teachable spells he knows, but inherent attribute bonuses, and the benefits of various spells (cast at a very high caster level of level) that are then Locked to have permanent duration.
Indeed, he can only steal other people's quirks, and redistribute them - and once he's given away a quirk, the only way he can give it away again is to steal it back first.
Esuna, Cure, and Prestidigitation are individually and all by themselves capable of being sufficient for a top-tier hero power, and as has been shown before, Esuna can be a combat spell if your opponent is fueled by drugs. And he can give them out over and over. Fear the army of White Mages.
Also pretty sure that every support hero and equipment company would sell their firstborn child to get their hands on Mending. Sure, it's not fast like Repair, but it's functionally free where the only cost is time.
Al: You know. I think, really, I should have seen this coming.
Melissa Shield: My dad offered you a Shield if you taught him that trick.
Al: I kind of figured I was getting something a little more... Some-thing-. Not some-one-.
Melissa: That sounds like a you problem. Now, how does the whole magic thing work? I guess it's not a Quirk given that you've sold the same few over and over.
Al: Well, technically you could do that too. There's this doctor, runs the Jaku hospital? He can manufacture artificial Quirks and implant them in people.
Melissa: Wait, waht?
Al: But you are correct. Everything I offer functions off of the power of the soul. Any sufficiently complex creature can learn to use them. Up to and including trees.
Melissa: Hold on-
Al: So we're going to start you off on one of my favorites. Not only does it come in very useful, it will slowly expand your own pool of magic.
Melissa: About that thing-
Al: Here, this is a book of 'Cure'. Learn it. Learn to love it. That thing is literally made for saving lives.
Melissa: That doctor-
Al: Now, I need to go have a talk with your father. And All Might. And maybe Inko...
