Upourning home, Yuuji took a quick bath, did his assigs, and checked the status of London Gold for his iments in his ptop.

  …This mucrease. Seems like I uimated the proficy I got from the Chat Group.

  While he khat gold rates fluctuate greatly on a daily basis, he still didn’t expect it to ge this much. This must be why his instincts told him to start with London Gold yesterday.

  An increase of 10… Meaning if I sell it now, I get a 1000 return.

  With the 100 dolrs his mave him and the 100 times leverage he used to buy 10,000 worth of gold, an increase in 10 would mean a profit return of 1000.

  (AN: Leverages, as expined in previous chapters, are used to “leverage” or increase the buying power of ior, allowing them to buy moods and thus, increasing the profit margin. In turn, it also increases the losses the ior would suffer in case the value of the stock old they i in decreases.

  I’m still learning about these iment types as well, so if you’re knowledgeable, please don’t hesitate to crify the info in the ents. Would love to learn more about them.

  Keep in mind that most of the numbers here are purposefully exaggerated and the info are simplified for story purposes. But, I still try to make it realistic as much as possible.)

  Yuuji deliberated for a moment. A profit return of 1000 was already beyond his expectations. In just a day, he had surpassed the goal his mother set for him by far.

  If he held on, perhaps he could gain even more profit tomorrow. But somehow, he didn’t feel fortable with it.

  …Mm, I should trust my feeling and sell it for now.

  In the end, he pressed the sell button on all the tracts he bought for 10,000 and received the 1000 in profits to his at.

  Yuuji let out a sigh of relief. It was as if a weight has been lifted from his shoulders.

  Looking at his at, he couldn’t help but feel a bit proud aed. This was the first time he had this much money in his at, and it was the money he made himself! 1000, which is equivalent to around 100,000 yen, was something a normal first-year highschool student like him wouldn’t be able to dream off!

  Soon, the excitement and pride quickly turned into determination. His profi Iment had been proven. His dream to give his family a vish life without worry was no longer just a dream.

  He could turn it into a reality. And with this seed money and his iment proficy, he could gain even more.

  Alright. Let’s use this moo do some active trading!

  (AN: Active trading, or day trade, is buying and selling stocks on short-term price ges to profit from those slight prients.)

  Since he felt unfortable putting them bato London Gold, for now, Yuuji decided to use the stock market software on his ptop to buy a few stocks from various panies and then sell it a little while after when the price rose.

  He wao test the limit of the proficy he received from the chat group, so instead of “scalping”, where he would be opening and closing trades rapidly to profit from the minute ges in price while using a rge amount of leverage to amplify his profit, he will be trying “swinging” instead.

  He will pce a few positions with all of his earnings and maximum leverage on various stocks that he “predicted” would increase in price by the few days and see how much he could earn by trusting his instincts and his [Iment Proficy].

  And since he’s not a US trader, the Pattern-Day-Rule, which would mark his at the moment he pced his fourth day trade in a five-day windorevent him from pg any day trades for 90 days unless he had 25,000 or more in his at, will not be applicable to him.

  He could also keep trading outside of the Asian session, since he could simply trade in the European or the North Ameri sessions, allowing him to trade at any time of the day. So whenever he felt would be the right time to buy or sell his stocks, he could do it immediately.

  Alright. Now, I’ll simply wait ahe profit wheime is right.

  His lips curled into a small smile. He uands now the feeling of happiness aement that es with making money for his family. After all, even though he knew full well that the amazing women in his family were fully capable of taking care of themselves, having the financial capability to pamper the women he loves was something any man would be happy for.

  He truly looked forward to the future when he could pamper them freely and have a carefree life without having to worry about money.

  Yuuji stretched his body and closed his ptop to go for dinner.

  Unfortunately, Aika was still busy with her cafe, so Yuuji, Mira, and his sister ate their dinner with only the four of them.

  During dinner, his mother told everyohat a daughter of her friend will be ing to visit.

  “She will be attending yh school too and she’s still not that fluent in Japanese, so please take care of her, okay~? She will also be visiting us this Sunday, so we will be weling her~”

  “From Germany~? That’s amazing~! I’ve never known anyone from there~!”

  “Her name doesn’t sound German…”

  Nina looked at Mira fusedly. Rather than German, Viktoriya Ivanova Serebryakov sounded like a name from a different try.

  “That’s because their aors weren’t inally from there. But after their war merits in world war ohey’ve bee a true citizen of that try. The only reason why their ill sound like that was due to their desire to honor their aors.”

  “I see…”

  Nodding in uanding, Nina tio eat.

  “Could she at least speak english, mom? Otherwise, it might be difficult for us to verse…”

  Yuuji asked. If she could only speak in German, then she might only be able to talk to Mira. It would be really difficult to help her in school as well if she couldn’t speak in english at the very least.

  “Of course. She could also write and read Japanese a fair amount, and is also fairly fluent in English, so you don’t have to worry~”

  “I uand.”

  After that versation, they all returo their dinner while Yuna begaioning their mother about the fn student until they finished.

  Returning from his dinner, Yuuji checked his smartphone and saw several message notifications. Most were notifications from random versations in the chat group, but there was ohat piqued his i.

  Lelouch Lamperouge: “I would like your advise on managing my iments in these Sakuradite panies.”

  The message was sent to him while he was having dinner with his mother and sisters. It has been quite a while, given Yuuji was also chatting with them while he ate his dinner. It went on for almost an hour and a half before they fiheir dinner.

  Tsubakihara Yuuji: “Sure. I’ll do my best to help.”

  The time in Lelouch’s world run slower than his world, so while waiting for a reply, Yuuji decided to open his ptop and try to find some materials to help him learn Germany.

  It was easy enough for him to find japanese learning materials for learning Germao the strong bond the two tries have with each other. Japan hadn’t only adopted many cultures from the German, it has also adopted many of its s ever sihe intense cultural exge that took pce from the middle of the 19th tury to the early 20th tury. Japan also viewed them as “role models” due to their speed and effi modernization.

  e to think of it, Suzuki siders German culture cool, didn’t he?

  Yuuji recalled the egghead with three-holes of an NPC Suzuki created in Yggdrasil that had quite the resembh the German’s old military uniforms. It was the embodiment of Suzuki’s obsession with the German culture.

  And he also remembered how embarrassed he would be when he found out the embodiment of his dark history would e alive.

  I really hope he fot about it and leave it be.

  Since Suzuki now knows about his future, it wouldn’t be strange if he ged some of the NPC’s settings or strengthen his home while it is still a game.

  But, Yuuji sincerely hope he fot to ge Pandora’s Actor’s settings and leave it be. Else, it would be a pity to lose a teasing material for his friend.

  Yuuji bought several e-books for learning Germany and began reading them. His learning process was accelerated immensely due to his [Divine Physique], and he absorbed everything like a sponge.

  In just a few minutes, he could already read, write, and speak several phrases aences with almost native-level pronunciation and fluenbsp;

  But just as he was about to tinue, a message notification caught his attention and he quickly went to read it.

  Lelouch Lamperouge: “I would like your opiniarding the ma of the iments I’ve received from the Group Chat.”

  Lelouch Lamperouge: “If possible, I want to amass my wealth now to help me with my pns.”

  Tsubakihara Yuuji: “I see. If you’re fih me, then please ask away. I would be happy to help.

  Lelouch Lamperouge: “Thank you. I have a few questiarding the current status of my iments.”

  Thus, with Lelouch barraging him with questions, Yuuji couldn’t return to his german nguage studies until midnight es.

  --------------------------------X--------------------------------

  M came to Yuuji earlier than he would’ve liked.

  It was fun talking with Lelouch. He was very intelligent just like how his anime perceived him to be. He was capable of uanding the reasons and meanings behind Yuuji’s words very quickly without him having to say it explicity.

  If only he could’ve hold back a little and remember that time much quicker in Yuuji’s world, he would’ve felt much better about the versation.

  However, despite having slept only a few hours before he o wake up and make his sisters’ and his lunch with his mother, Yuuji erfectly fine. In fact, he was feeling energized. It was as if he had awakened from an amazing night of sleep.

  He stretched his whole body and did a few hundred push ups, sit ups, and squats for an awhile without breaking a sweat befoing for a m bath to freshen up.

  There was still some time before he had to make his and his sisters’ lunch boxes with his mother, so Yuuji opened his ptop and checked the price of london gold.

  As he expected, the price fell by 6 and it was still on a deing trend. If he bought it again with all of his money, he would’ve had to waited quite a while before it would increase again for him to profit.

  Oher hand, the stocks he ied in were steadily growing. But it wasn’t the time to sell yet. Once he the time es, he will sell all those stocks a ready to i ba London gold when the price fell to its lowest.

  Yuuji closed his ptop and opened his smartphone, replying to group messages and direct messages he received befoing down for another long-awaited session of cooking with his beautiful, sexy mother.

  --------------------------------X--------------------------------

  Arriving in school, Yuuji went to his sisters’ css first befoing to his. But the moment they arrived near Yuna and Nina’s css, Yuuji noticed a familiar figure standing in front of the css and another oanding beside her.

  They seemed to also notice their arrival as the familiar figure waved their hand towards him.

  “Ah! Yuuji-kun~ Yuna-~ Nina-~ Good m~!”

  “Eh? G-Good m… Morishima-senpai? Tsukahara-senpai as well!? Is there something you need?”

  Yuna asked in surprise. Even though she and her sister gott along well with the two, seeing them so early in the m in front of their css was something that had never happened before.

  But right after Yuna asked her question, Haruka began to pout and g her best friend who began to step forward towards Yuna, Nina, and Yuuji.

  “I’m sorry for b you this early in the m. I wasn’t sure if we could have the opportunity to meet you ter, so we came now.”

  “Ah, it is fisukahara-senpai. Is there something you need from us?”

  Hibiki’s face softened with a smile.

  While she wasn’t on the level of Haruka in terms of beauty, the jet-bck haired senior with brown eyes was a beauty in her ht. At least in Yuuji’s eyes, her beautiful sharp eyes, mature disposition, and the shapely figure that seemed to have been sculpted to perfe by her efforts in the swimming club were beautiful and awe-inspiring.

  It made him wonder why was he so blessed with so maiful woman around him.

  “No, I’m just here to say thank you for not lending your school swimsuits to Haruka. Aside of the swimming club is forbidden to ehe swimming pool during club activities. If she came in a swimsuit, she would’ve caused a mess in the swimming club and disturb our activities.”

  “Geez~ I told you I’m just going to swim a little and watch the girls shed their youthful sweat!”

  “I’ve told you, no matter the reason, you ’t just ehe swimming pool willy-nilly during club hours…”

  Hibiki shook her head tiredly a out a heavy sigh.

  “Well, as you two know, this is just how she is. I will apologize on her behalf, and thank you for preventing her from doing something stupid yet again. I truly appreciate it.”

  “Ah, it was nothing, Tsukahara-senpai! We are happy to be of help to you.”

  “Yes. We simply did what should be done.”

  Hibiki smiled softly and shifted his gaze towards Yuuji, her eyes immediately log into his.

  With his neearance, anyone who id their gaze on him would’ve s his entire figure immediately. It wasn’t surprising, sidering his figure that has been enhanced be [Divine Physique] innacle and the true embodiment of mase beauty. It wasn’t something anyone could easily ignore.

  Yet, Hibiki seemed to focus more on what he truly was, not just his appeara caught him by surprise at first, but a sense of admiration and respect filled his heart. She was not oo judge others’ by their appearance, but rather who they truly are in the inside.

  Perhaps, this was why she could get along very well with Haruka, and why Ai truly respect her as her captain and senior.

  She stared right into Yuuji’s eyes for a moment, and he gazed baperturbed, until a smile bloomed on her face.

  "I see now why Haruka ’t stop talking about you."

  “Hm?”

  Yuuji tilted his head fusedly.

  "Right~? Ufufufu~ He doesn't freeze up or bee nervous arou's refreshing~!"

  Ahhh so that's what she meant.

  Yuuji thought in his mind.

  Well, he has been living his life with his mother, sisters, and aunt since he was young, all of whom were supreme beauties. It wasn’t a surprise for him to get an immunity to beauties to a certaient.

  He won’t freeze up or act like a deer in headlights whenever he meets a beauty anymore. If he did, he would very well be just be a frozen statue in his own home.

  Yuuji smiled softly and g his sisters.

  "My sisters are beauties as well, after all. I am used to beauties to a certaient just by living uhe same roof with them."

  Hibiki and Haruka’s eyes widened, surprised by his boldness with his words. Very few men, especially boys his age, could be so bold as to pliment women for their beauty genuinely, without any ulterior motives. Moreso their siblings and in front of other people.

  But he was able to pliment his sisters in front of her and Haruka.

  Hibiki’s lips curled into a small smile and her eyes narrowed at him.

  “Oh my, it seems yifted with a silver tongue as well.”

  “I was simply telling the truth.”

  Yuna and Nina were now already blushing readly from their beloved brother’s pliment. And in front of their friends, cssmates, and their seniors as well! So fidently!

  Of course they’ll be super embarrassed!

  “Then we will return now. I’m sorry for holding you back.”

  “There’s no need for that, Tsukahara-senpai. It is our pleasure.”

  Hibiki nodded and ed her arm around Haruka’s t her away.

  “Ah! Hibiki-, there’s o do that! See you ter, Yuna-, Nina-, Yuuji-kun~!”

  Haruka waved her arms widely as she yelled her goodbyes.

  “Y-Yes! See you ter, Morishima-senpai.”

  “Good bye.”

  Yuuji waved his hand bad watched their reg batil they were no longer in sight.

  “Well then, I’ll go to my css too, okay?”

  “U-Uhn. Thank you, Yuu-kun.”

  “Mm. See you ter.”

  “See you ter, Yuna, Nina.”

  --------------------------------X--------------------------------

  M css went by as normal.

  Despite having mastered the entire year’s worth of curriculum by reading ahead during his css, Yuuji still listeo his teachers quietly and made notes in his notebook. While he may not , his sisters or perhaps his friends might , so he tried making it as ly and as easily uandable as possible.

  The school bell for lunch finally rang and the teacher quickly told the students to read ahead to prepare for the lesson before exiting the css.

  “Phew~ It’s finally lunch~ Are you going to eat lunch with your sisters again today, Yuuji? If you are, you please introduce me to them~?”

  Shu said with a joking tone as he turned around on his seat and looked at Yuuji with his usual grin.

  “In your dreams. I’m ing lunch with them today. They said they’ll be eating lunch with Morishima-senpai and Tsukahara-senpai.”

  “Oooh~? Really now~? Now that’s some spiews~ I’m sure the entire male popution in this school would love to see such a gathering of beauties.”

  “...If you dare do anything, I swear you’d rather stay home than show your face before me again.”

  “I’m just joking~ Don’t o be that scary, you sis~ I ain’t going to bbber any info about my best friends’ sister~ I have morals too, you know~?”

  “...First time I’ve heard of it. Hah… If you want to have lunch together, the’s go. Raku, you ing?”

  “Ah, sure! I was just thinking of going to the cafeteria.”

  “Alright. The’s-”

  “Y-Yuuji!!!”

  Surprised, Yuuji, Shu, and Raku immediately turned around towards the source of the voice calling him out with a loud voibsp;

  “Yotsuba?”

  Charging towards his table, Yotsuba sms her hands down on his table and lowered her head towards him, staring at him with eyes wide open and cheeks blushing red.

  “W-What’s wrong…?”

  Yuuji asked warrily, taken aback by her sudden aggressiveness. She looked anxious and nervous, but also determined. He truly didn’t know what caused her to suddenly be like this.

  “C- I talked to you for a moment.”

  “...Sure.”

  --------------------------------X--------------------------------

  Yotsuba lead Yuuji to a quite pce so they could speak alone uninterrupted.

  Most of the students were in the cafeteria for lunch, so anywhere else was quite desote. After searg for a while, they finally settled in the open space behind the school building, not too terribly far away from the cafeteria, where the school garden was.

  The ground was covered in grass and trees and several flower bushes were po make it seem like a true garden. There were also a little garden that ecially taken care of by the florist club, as well as a little pen with various animals such as rabbits that are taken care of by another club as well.

  Closer to the school building, he entra the dire of the cafeteria, there were several benches where students would usually sit on for lunch. In fact, there were several already several female students with their bento at hand, sitting on the benches aing ready to eat before their gaze met with Yuuji.

  Yuuji slightly lowered his head, reizing their presence, and tinued following Yotsuba. Soon after, he could hear gasps and shrieks, followed by giggles as well as the sound of a smartphone camera capturing an image.

  Ah… I should’ve got used to it, but it still feels straer all.

  It was very fttering, without a doubt, but he still felt a bit awkward. Though, there’s nothing else he could do except f his best to get use to it. After all, there was just no way to hide his appearance. Even if he wore a mask, his figure would still attract attention, given he has a figure eveer than any male top models in the world. His uniform and bzer was simply not enough to hide the rippling, well-defined muscles underh them and his height.

  His figure alone could give away his identity, given no other male in this entire school, evehletes, had a body rivaling his perfe.

  After walking a bit farther away from where the entrao the cafeteria was, Yotsuba finally stopped and suddenly turowards Yuuji before bowing down in a 90-degree angle.

  “Yuuji! I have a request! Will you teach me and my sisters for the uping exams?”

  “Eh?! W-Wait, Yotsuba, calm down! Stop bowing down like that! you expin to me the situation first…? Even if you request that of me so suddenly, I still ’t uand the situation…”

  Slowly rising from her bow, Yotsuba begin scratg her redly blushing cheek and avert her eyes away in embarrassment.

  “Actually… Uhm, you know that I’m a quintuplet, right? Just like me, my sisters aren’t that well-versed in studying, so our father has been trying to find us a tutor to help us.”

  She begin, fidgeting her legs and hands nervously after finally admitting that she was helpless in terms of studying to her friend and subject of her i and attra.

  “He already had one pnned, but I asked him to wait because I know someone who’s v-very smart and who I get along with as well… So…”

  Listening to her words, Yuuji finally uood her situation.

  “I see. And I’m guessing this person is me?”

  “Uhn… Your notes are very easy to uand. I mean, even I could uand it after reading it o’s a miracle! A-And rather than a stranger, I-I’d like if you were the oo teach m-, I mean, us! W-What do you think?”

  Yotsuba gnced shyly upwards, trying to gauge Yuuji’s rea by his expression as he fell into a thought.

  “...I never really meet your sisters. If it is just you, then I would be happy to. But your sisters and I might not get along well, and it will be very difficult for them to learn anything if they don’t have the iion of listening to me…”

  “That’s impossible! I’m sure they’ll get along with you very well! A-After all, y-you’re kind, a-a-and uanding, a-a-and…”

  Smiling softly at her adorableness, Yuuji sighed softly and answered.

  “I will think abou tit.”

  “R-Really?! Thank you so much!!! My father will be paying you, so you don’t have to worry!”

  A brilliant smile immediately appeared on her face. Her eyes sparkling with happiness aement. She ’t believe she mao have him as their tutor!!!

  “Ah, I don’t mind teag you even if it is for free, but… I’m still sidering it. I have things I o do after school, so it might be difficult for me to spend too much time on teag you and your sisters every day after school.”

  Yuuji said apologetically. But, this was still something he o deliberate carefully.

  With his newfound skills, there are a lot of things Yuuji wao do.

  For now, he wao focus on trading stocks and building up his iments so that he could spoil his family iure.

  Then, he’s also pnning on making an analytical tool for stock trading and iments to make her mother’s work easier in the near future. With his Iment and Programming Proficy, he was fident he could create the world’s most accurate analytical tool.

  Then, he also wao rip off successful applications and games that he knew from his past life’s memories and recreate it in this world.

  Not to mention, he might be asked to help her aunt with her cafe. He had done so multiple times in the past, so his days might be packed.

  He didn’t want to make a promise that he might not be able to fulfill, so he o think about this carefully.

  “I-I see…”

  Seeinig the shining sunflower suddenly wilt down into a frown, Yuuji sighed inwardly a out a small smile.

  “But if it is just during exam periods and a few hours after school, I might be able to do so on occasion.”

  “R-Really?! Are you sure?!?!”

  “Uhn. And, if there are times that I’m busy, I’ll leave my notebooks to you and you share it with your sisters.”

  “Thank you!!!! I’ll tell this to my sisters!!!”

  “Sure. Oh, but I’m not acquainted with your sisters yet. Will that be okay?”

  “Hm? Oh, then would you like to meet them now?”

  “Hm…Would I be disturbing their lunch?”

  “I’m sure it will be fine~!”

  “...Okay. Let’s go now. That way, they will have time to deliberate whether or not they would like me to teach them after meeting me in person.”

  “Great~! Let’s go!”

  “Ah, please go ahead first. I will bring my lunch over and find you in the cafeteria.”

  “Okay~”
