Stock Market

"I am home."

Walking in the corridor, Nino and Akira saw everyone warming themselves by the kotatsu table in the living room.

"Welcome home. Finally, you're home, Nino."

Seeing Nino, Itsuki's eyes lit up.

"Why wait for me?" Nino asked as she entered the kotatsu table.

Akira went to the kitchen to drink.

*Grrrr*

The sound of the stomach rumbling was clear.

"Pfft... No need to explain, I already know the reason." Nino chuckled.

"Wu... What's on the menu for dinner tonight?" Itsuki asked, holding her hungry stomach.

"Just order online. I'm too tired to cook." Nino said without feeling guilty.

"I made that suggestion too, but Itsuki said Nino would cook dinner, so we didn't order dinner." Miku said helplessly.

"Itsuki doesn't think straight sometimes." Ichika smiled faintly.

"Then let's order quickly." Itsuki said weakly.

Nino took out her cell phone, asked what food they wanted to eat, then asked Akira who had just sat down.

"What do you want to eat, Akira?"

"It's up to Nino-Nee."

"Your answer sounds like a woman. Alright, your food is the same as mine, Udon. No problem, right?"

"Sure."

After confirming everyone's food, Nino ordered and just waited for the food delivery person to come.

The TV was on, broadcasting a comedy show.

"By the way, where are you two going?"

Finding the TV show boring due to its bland humor, Ichika rested her chin on the back of her hand and asked with a smile.

"Aren't we going to do hatsumode tomorrow? So I bought Akira a yukata." Nino said casually.

Hatsumode describes the Japanese tradition of visiting a shrine or temple for the first time in the new year. Every year, people pray in the hope of having a good year and being blessed with good luck.

"I see. How mean, you left without inviting me~" Ichika had a sullen expression.

"You took a nap, it's not my fault." Nino rolled her eyes at her.

"Midnight is the New Year. How about we stay up late to watch the sunrise on the first day of the new year?" Miku made a suggestion.

"Agree. The sunrise on the first day of the new year looks more beautiful than usual days." Yotsuba raised her hand and agreed with a cheerful voice.

"How about it, you guys agree with Miku's suggestion?" Ichika asked the others.

Nino: "It doesn't matter to me. But I don't think Itsuki will be able to stay up that late."

Itsuki: "Don't look down on me, Nino. Isn't it just not sleeping all night? I will prove I can do it."

Akira: "It doesn't matter to me without sleeping a night for three days."

Hearing that, the quintuplets looked at him in shock. But the shock didn't last long considering his supernatural powers. Then they continued chatting.

Akira didn't participate in their conversation, taking out the laptop from [Storage Magic], he started working.

Seeing him so serious that he didn't even realize they were calling him, the quints woke up and saw what he was doing.

Maybe read a pornographic magazine? However, in the current era, pornographic magazines are safer than films.

Unfortunately, their guess was wrong. They see fluctuating strings of numbers and rising and falling bar charts.

"What is Akira doing?" Yotsuba asked quietly, not wanting her voice to disturb Akira.

"This..." Miku felt like she had seen this before, but she forgot.

"Ah, isn't this the stock market?" Itsuki said surprised after recognizing the display on the laptop screen.

"Um, Akira-chan said he made money by investing in the stock market." Nino remembered that this afternoon her little brother mentioned this.

"Looks like this isn't as difficult as I thought," Said Ichika after observing Akira's process of buying and selling shares easily and casually.

Hearing Ichika's comments, Akira could no longer remain silent, worried that the quintuplets thought it was easy to make money quickly in the stock market. Therefore, he gave them an explanation.

"Stock market investment seems very simple, just buying and selling. But, mastering this is not easy at all! First, time is very important. When to buy and when to sell determines whether you gain or lose, and by how much. Many people cannot grasp this essence even after a lifetime of study."

"Second, strong mental resilience is required. Market fluctuations are constant, up and down. You may not always be able to make money immediately, you may have to bear some losses, even significant losses. So, having a strong mindset is important and needs to be developed. Besides, the market is unpredictable, we have to be able to adapt. For example, unexpected events such as war that occur suddenly can affect price fluctuations in financial markets. Therefore, we must remain sensitive to the market, adapt quickly and follow trends."

"Finally, effective risk management is essential. This is a complex field with a lot to cover."

Akira spoke solemnly.

*👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻*

"Wow, Akira looks like a teacher." Yotsuba clapped her hands.

"Akira-kun sounds like a professional even though I don't understand most of what you're saying." Itsuki exclaimed in admiration.

"Awesome." Miku praised.

"Hearing you say that, stocks look high risk. How much did you earn?" Nino asked curiously, considering that her little brother was able to spend 150 thousand yen without batting an eye.

"Not many. Only 10 million yen in one transaction."

"?!"

Ichika and the others were shocked to hear that number.

Keep in mind, Akira is a middle school student. Knowing that he made 10 million yen easily, more than the salary of a white collar worker.

"That amount is even bigger than what I received when I made my debut as an actress." Ichika smiled wryly, remembering that her first salary was only a few thousand yen.

"And you said it wasn't much? I wonder how much money it would take for you to consider it 'a lot'." Nino shook her head and said curiously.

"In my original world, I own shares in many large companies. If I combined the total assets, it would probably be around 20 billion yen?"

Akira's simple words made the quintuplets feel an even greater shock than before.

"20 billion yen? How many meat buns can be bought?" Itsuki had a headache just thinking about it.

"It turns out that our little brother is crazy rich!" Yotsuba was stunned, her mouth opened wide.

"Akira is so scary." Miku almost fainted hearing about her little brother's wealth.

"No wonder you want to open a harem. You do have the capital to make it happen." Nino narrowed her eyes and quipped.

"Harem?"

Ichika and the others were shocked by the information Nino revealed.

"Hmph! You all don't know there are many of his childhood friends."

"Tell us." Ichika was excited to hear her little brother's gossip, but the glint in her eyes was gray, and looked scary.

"Wouldn't that violate Akira-kun's privacy?" Itsuki glanced at Akira.

"No problem, if Nino-Nee wants to tell it, go ahead." Akira shrugged and didn't really care.

Then, he turned his attention to the laptop and continued his investment.

On the other hand, Nino tells her sister about how much of a playboy their little brother is.
