Multiverse: You Said Chuunibyou, But You're Playing for Real?

Haru suddenly felt a bit panicked.

He wasn't an idiot.

How could he not realize what it meant for a girl to agree to a request to live together?

Although Haru's reason was to learn extraordinary skills, to a girl who didn't believe in the extraordinary, such a reason was obviously not much different from nonsense.

Under such circumstances, Megumi Kato had still agreed.

This made Haru's heart inevitably start to flutter.

Did Megumi Kato have feelings for him?

If it was true, wouldn't he immediately be able to escape single life and become an enviable lovey-dovey couple?

Just thinking about escaping single life made Haru's mood excited.

That would be being together with Saint Megumi.

What man could refuse that?

At least Haru wouldn't deceive himself - he couldn't refuse.

Having been around a beautiful girl like Megumi Kato all this time, it was impossible for Haru not to have thoughts.

He wanted to ask Megumi Kato about her feelings.

But then he remembered that he had just promised Megumi Kato that living with her wasn't with strange intentions.

Asking now would somewhat violate that promise.

No matter what, promises made to others should be kept, especially since she trusted him enough to agree to such an outrageous request.

Making up his mind, Haru temporarily suppressed his restless heart.

However, the feelings that had already emerged were buried in his mind.

"I'll ask when the cohabitation task is completed."

Haru took a deep breath and secretly made up his mind.

He had a premonition that perhaps the opportunity to escape single life was about to come.

But he needed to be patient.

Haru had been an adult before transmigrating and knew very well that haste makes waste.

Since Megumi Kato was willing to live with him, being patient would make many things fall into place naturally.

Thinking of this, Haru took a deep breath, then looked at Megumi Kato with a confident expression: "Megumi-chan, I will definitely keep my word."

Megumi Kato shyly avoided eye contact, then suddenly said:

"But... if we're living together for three days, there probably isn't time now, Haru-kun."

Haru's heart sank.

Was Megumi Kato planning to back out?

That wouldn't do.

If it had been just about getting the skill before, even if Megumi Kato didn't agree, Haru wouldn't have cared much since he could find other ways to get it from other people.

But now that he realized this was his chance to escape single life, Haru didn't want to miss it.

So he immediately stared intently at Megumi Kato, saying: "Megumi-chan, you can't go back on what you promised!"

Seeing Haru's nervous appearance, Megumi Kato's clear eyes flashed with a hint of cunning as she said: "Haru-kun, you've become slow-witted."

"What I mean is, we're students, right? We only have two weekend days off each week. Where would we get three days to live together?"

"And during school days, my parents would never allow me to live outside for three days."

"This isn't me backing out."

Megumi Kato smiled at Haru. At this moment, her previous nervousness and shyness seemed to have completely disappeared, as if she had returned to being the same Megumi Kato as before.

Her beautiful eyes were full of amusement as she added in a teasing tone: "Of course, if Haru-kun can think of a good solution, I can still keep my promise."

Looking at Megumi Kato's expression of wanting to see him in a difficult position, Haru was speechless.

You think this can stump me?

Saint Megumi, you're really underestimating me.

"There's a short holiday after midterm exams." Haru snorted, "Megumi-chan can tell your family you're going on vacation with classmates to get permission, and since I live alone at home, Megumi-chan can stay at my place, so everything's not a problem."

After saying this, Haru couldn't help but quietly observe Megumi Kato's expression.

He saw Megumi Kato looking at him with amusement in her eyes, as if she could see through all his thoughts completely.

This made Haru a bit panicked.

After all, this was Saint Megumi.

Haru had no confidence in hiding anything from Saint Megumi's perception.

In terms of reading people's minds, eight Yukino Yukinoshitas combined wouldn't be enough to match one glance from Saint Megumi.

In this aspect, probably only that monster Haruno could compete with her, and it was uncertain who would win.

Haru somewhat suspected that his little thoughts had really been seen through by Megumi Kato.

If Megumi Kato backed out at this point, that would be quite the spectacle.

Please don't, Saint Megumi!

Thinking of this, Haru's gaze became somewhat evasive, afraid of letting Megumi Kato see his guilt.

Megumi Kato's eyes flashed with amusement, then she withdrew that mind-reading gaze and said softly:

"This solution barely passes."

Speaking thus, she picked up her coffee and naturally began drinking.

Haru finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

At this point, he also reacted.

"Was Megumi just pretending to back out to deliberately tease me?"

Haru recalled Megumi Kato's expression just now and immediately looked at her with some resentment.

He had been nervous for nothing.

Good grief, Saint Megumi, this scheming talent really isn't any weaker than your presence concealment.

Even Haruno isn't as scheming as you.

Despite being teased by Megumi Kato once, the Presence Concealment task had been obtained, and after midterm exams, he would get the opportunity to live with Megumi Kato for three days.

Today's harvest could be said to be perfect.

Haru returned home in an excited mood.

Even until evening, he was still thinking about the cohabitation.

Since Megumi Kato wasn't around anymore, Haru had no reservations, and his thoughts completely took flight.

"Living together for three days, if I can seize the opportunity, becoming a couple shouldn't be a problem, and maybe even—"

Haru began to fantasize, even starting to think about some unhealthy things.

For instance, the legendary home run wasn't impossible to achieve.

Since he started training his punches, Haru had thought about such things quite often.

But because there was no way to resolve it and he could only rely on himself, it had caused him considerable suffering.

But now, realizing that the opportunity was about to come, his mood was uncontrollably excited.

"Calm down, I can't think about this anymore."

Just thinking about a home run made Haru feel like he'd been injected with adrenaline, his whole body heating up.

He hurriedly went to take a cold shower.

"I need to redirect my thoughts."

Haru didn't want to keep troubling his "five sisters." He quickly went to the living room.

First, he completed the Six Powers task.

Then he opened the express delivery that had arrived home not long ago.

Inside the delivery were exactly the professional stock market books he had ordered online.

A full twenty books, enough to calm him down.

With Haru's current photographic memory and super thinking abilities, he could flip through twenty books at lightning speed, reading ten lines at a glance, and completely digest them in less than an hour.

At the same time—

[Ding, reward obtained: Stock Market Genius]

Instantly, Haru felt as if something had changed in his thinking.

The stock market knowledge he had just absorbed seemed to have improved in understanding by countless levels in an instant.

Problems that had puzzled him while reading suddenly became clear.

Important content he had overlooked, he instantly realized the significance of those parts.

All the knowledge from the twenty books was thoroughly absorbed and digested, even leading to innovations, with insights constantly popping up in his mind.

But theory was theory.

Stock trading ultimately had to be put into practice.

Countless people around the world traded stocks, and those who mastered theory weren't necessarily stronger in stock trading ability than those without theory.

However, Haru wasn't worried about only having theory.

After all, the most powerful aspect of his talent was in practical stock trading.

Having gained a new ability, Haru didn't delay and immediately turned on his computer, preparing to test his new capability.

"For starting capital, I'll use 100,000 yen."

Haru didn't hesitate and directly used his savings.

100,000 yen was a considerable amount of pocket money that ordinary high school students would find difficult to come up with.

But Haru had inherited his parents' estate, with all the money under his own control.

Taking out 100,000 yen wasn't a problem.

"Back then, Chen Daozi could win 37 million from 20 yuan. I, Haru, earning 100 million yen from 100,000 yen shouldn't be a big problem."

Haru's eyes gleamed.

With the Stock Market Genius talent, earning even 1 billion or 10 billion yen wouldn't be a big problem.

But his initial goal was temporarily just 100 million yen.

Converted to RMB, that was about several million.

This amount of money was sufficient for him for now.

More would be unnecessary, since stock trading also took time.

Even with Haru's Stock Market Genius talent, he would need to constantly analyze various data, check news for useful information, and constantly monitor stock market changes to make money.

To actually earn hundreds of billions in scale, he would probably need to skip school for most of half a year and watch the stock market all day.

Haru's stock trading was only to provide resources for his cultivation. He never intended to really focus his mind on stock trading.

After making up his mind, Haru no longer hesitated and directly began examining the stock market, looking for stocks with potential.

In Yukino Yukinoshita's apartment, Haruno Yukinoshita, wearing green sleepwear, lay face down on the sofa with her tempting beautiful body, playing with her phone contentedly, her smooth white feet gently swaying.

"Don't you have too much free time? Does mother really allow you to wander around everywhere like this?"

On the nearby sofa, Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her arms over her chest, her cold eyes full of disdain as she looked at this woman.

Despite being a university student and the family heir, she spent all day monitoring her.

Now she had even moved into her apartment.

This really annoyed Yukino Yukinoshita.

The main reason she had moved out of the family was to avoid her mother and this woman in front of her.

Yet this woman had been appearing far too frequently these past few days.

"I've been rather free lately, so I came to see how you're living in the apartment."

Haruno glanced at her cute sister, completely unconcerned by the obvious disdain, even smiling with enjoyment, "Don't forget, I promised mother that I would keep an eye on your every move to prevent you from doing anything that would shame the family."

In Haruno's view, saying such things would definitely make Yukino Yukinoshita furious and sulk back to her bedroom as usual.

After all, that's how it had always been before.

But this time, something unexpected happened.

After hearing her words, Yukino Yukinoshita remembered what had happened in the Service Club that day.

Suddenly, her perfect and flawless delicate face froze for a moment.

Her slender body tensed up motionlessly.

Her usually sharp tongue was now tightly pressed together.

Her cold eyes now flashed with undeniable panic and shyness.

Seeing her casual remark suddenly make her sister react this way, Haruno's expression changed slightly.

She had been hovering around Yukino these past few days precisely because she was worried about a certain event happening.

But seeing Yukino like this now, her heart immediately sank.

This was bad.

Had her family's precious cabbage really been stolen by that guy?

Just then, her phone dinged.

Haruno instinctively looked over and saw it was a notification from the stock trading app.

Her beautiful eyes immediately widened as she gritted her teeth and shouted:

"Haru!"
