Chapter 45: Chapter 45: The Sisters' Worries; Haru's New Idea: Alchemy?
Haruno suddenly calling out Haru's name made Yukino panic a bit.
She thought her being seen naked by Haru had been exposed.
But then she quickly realized this matter couldn't possibly be known by outsiders.
She soon calmed down, looking at Haruno with feigned displeasure: "What are you doing?"
"That guy..."
Haruno instinctively wanted to say that Haru was a playboy.
But then she realized that with Yukino's personality, even if she said such things, Yukino probably wouldn't believe her.
She might even rebel and deliberately get closer to Haru out of spite.
Haruno quickly calmed down, knowing she needed to change her approach to reduce her sister's favorable impression of Haru, or even make her dislike him.
Her eyes flashed, and Haruno immediately thought of a method, frowning: "I mean, that guy is too impatient. He just got the stock account today and has already started trading."
The method Haruno thought of was to frequently mention Haru's bad aspects in front of her sister.
Once or twice might have no effect, but over time, Haruno didn't believe it would have no impact on her sister at all.
And just now, the message from the stock trading app about Haru starting to inject funds gave Haruno an excuse.
High school students trading stocks would undoubtedly not be considered good character in Yukino's eyes.
Last time at the yakiniku restaurant, Yukino's reaction clearly opposed Haru's stock trading.
Sure enough, when Haruno said this, Yukino couldn't help but frown, looking at Haruno with some displeasure:
"You really gave him the account?"
"Yukino-chan, can people from the Yukinoshita family casually go back on their word?"
Haruno righteously retorted, then added, "But don't worry, I'll watch the account. If Kohai-kun loses too much money, I'll immediately change the account and not let him continue."
Yukino was silent for a moment. She also knew that Haruno's handling was already the best option.
Seeing this, Haruno didn't continue speaking ill of Haru.
She knew when to stop.
Mentioning it appropriately was enough.
With Yukino's ice-cold intelligence, she would definitely catch the key information in her words.
There was no need to say too much.
Saying too much would backfire and arouse her sister's suspicion, which would be counterproductive.
So Haruno stopped looking at Yukino and picked up her phone to open the app, wanting to see how much money Haru had invested in the account.
Upon looking, she was immediately stunned.
"Wait, he directly invested 100,000 yen!"
Haruno couldn't help but change expression.
100,000 yen was naturally just a small amount for Haruno.
The problem was that for people with ordinary family circumstances who were still high school students, it wasn't a small sum.
Due to the car accident incident, Haruno understood Haru's background, knowing he was an orphan with his parents' inheritance, able to come up with more money than peers his age.
But being able to come up with it didn't mean he should spend it recklessly.
"And that guy even said he was a stock market novice."
"This is just reckless!"
Haruno's expression didn't look good.
"You said he invested 100,000 yen all at once?" Yukino's expression darkened as she looked at Haruno with unfriendly eyes, "This is what you call monitoring the account situation?"
"How was I supposed to know he'd invest so much on his first trade?" Haruno said helplessly, "It's too late to stop him now. No, I need to talk to him."
Speaking thus, Haruno dialed Haru's phone number.
Yukino couldn't help but look at Haruno as well.
Soon, the call connected.
"Kohai-kun, you're being too reckless. Didn't your senpai tell you not to use too much capital... what... really... fine, just this once, but if you go back on your word, your senpai will change the password..."
After talking for a while, Haruno hung up with a strange expression on her face.
She looked at Yukino.
"What did he say?" Yukino frowned, feeling that Haruno's conversation had been somewhat odd.
Wasn't she supposed to persuade Haru? Why did she hang up after just a few sentences?
"He promised me that he'd only invest 100,000 yen this once, and if he breaks his promise, I can take back the account at any time." Haruno said unexpectedly, "It's good that he said this. If I had to forcibly take back the account after he lost all his money, it wouldn't look good."
"That's all we can do then." Yukino snorted coldly, "Well, after he loses this time, he'll learn his lesson."
"You're right." Haruno sighed.
At this point, she could only wait for Haru to lose all his money before she could legitimately take back the account.
100,000 yen wasn't much. Giving Haru a lesson to abandon his idea of easy money falling from the sky would be worth it.
Closing the app, Haruno decided to check again in a few days.
For the time being, unless his luck was terrible, 100,000 yen shouldn't be completely lost.
She also turned off the software notifications.
There was no need to keep them on.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed.
Haru had successfully obtained both the Six Powers Training Method and Extraordinary Sense of Smell.
In terms of the stock market, his profits were also steadily increasing.
Of course, since his base capital was only 100,000 yen, Haru couldn't make too much money in just a few days.
Fortunately, Haru wasn't in a hurry to make big money. As long as it was rising steadily at a decent pace, that was enough.
Therefore, he didn't spend much thought on the stock market.
Now, his main focus was on training the Six Powers.
The Six Powers training method was simply terrifying.
Even with Haru's powerful physique, just practicing one of the movements would exhaust him half to death.
For ordinary people, it might even cripple them on the spot.
To master it would probably waste a lot of time.
But Haru didn't feel impatient because of this.
After all, once he mastered it, with his individual power, he would probably be able to dominate most places on this planet.
Unless Earth deployed nuclear weapons against him, he had a certain probability of escaping even missiles and such.
"However, I have a big problem now."
Walking on the way to school, Haru frowned.
Because of training the Six Powers, his daily physical consumption was getting larger and larger.
This caused his food requirements to increase more and more, forcing him to spend considerable time eating every day.
"I haven't even mastered the Six Powers yet, and the consumption is already this great. When I do master the Six Powers, won't I have to spend most of each day on the Six Powers? This won't do."
Haru frowned.
"So I need to find a way to save time on eating."
After thinking briefly, Haru's eyes lit up as he thought of the Fasting Pills from cultivation novels and the Military Ration Pills from Naruto.
Both seemed capable of saving him eating time.
"No, wait, how am I so stupid? I was only thinking about saving time."
Haru's eyes moved, "I could actually master abilities similar to alchemy, refining pills with abundant energy. This wouldn't just save eating time, but could even shorten the time needed to train the Six Powers or other cultivation methods I might obtain in the future."
Immediately, he felt this was a great idea.
"The problem is, where can I get the reward ability for something like alchemy?"
Haru frowned.
It seemed there was no one around him in a similar field.
Just as Haru was thinking, a voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Haru, are you worrying about the Space-Time Management Bureau?"
Rikka Takanashi's voice came from beside him, speaking with gravity.
Seeing Rikka Takanashi with a serious expression and a hint of concern in her eyes, Haru's heart stirred.
Perhaps he could ask Rikka Takanashi about this.
Even if he couldn't get a suggestion from her, he could listen to her words and find some inspiration.
