Madness!

In the end, Haru and his girls agree to have a sleepover. Haru then picks extra mattresses for their bedding. His bed is too small to accommodate the three of them.

Let's backtrack a bit. The mattresses are for guests. There is one guest room in their residence.

Concerning their residence, calling it an apartment is actually a miss. In truth, their home is a customized condominium.

Although it looks like they are no different from one another, there is a subtle difference between an apartment and a condo.

First is the basics. Apartments are part of buildings containing multiple rental units, sometimes organized as a community, and the buildings are often managed by a professional company. On the other hand, condos are also part of buildings with multiple units. However, but each 'unit' is typically owned by a different individual.

Apartments in a rental building are usually designed in the same way with similar layouts, amenities, and decorations. Meanwhile, condos carry the owner's personal taste and touch. Most condos are well-cared after, sometimes showcasing exquisite designs, modern appliances, and high-end finishes.

Apartments are managed by professional companies, meaning that there is usually 24h maintenance available for whenever something goes wrong in the home. However, living in a condo means that you would depend on the owner's availability and willingness to help out if any maintenance is needed. For condos, you might even have to pay the maintenance costs yourself, but it really depends on the owner. Keep in mind that although the landlord agrees to cover the maintenance costs, he/she could take longer to make repairs.

There is also the possibility of buying a condo if the owner is selling. That is never the case with apartments since they are owned and managed as an entire building or community.

From his predecessor's memory, Haru is aware that Mr. Kasugano bought two condos to have a free reign of their living space. The Kasugano household is actually two 3LDK condominiums modified and merged into one. Hence, there can be six bedrooms in total.

Now, back to Haru and his girls, they are already in the mattresses, which are set side by side. Haru is in the middle, Sora at his left; Suzuka at his right.

The girls are already sleeping, using Haru's shoulders as pillows despite there are actual pillows for them. They also hug Haru's arms, turning them to their hugging pillows.

Admittedly, Haru doesn't mind that. In fact, he enjoyed the soft and warm sensation of his girls' bodies. Although they have slender figures, their feminine bodies are still captivating.

In the beginning, the whole sleepover turned out to be an awkward ordeal. Suzuka was the cause due to her high tension.

Thankfully, that awkwardness didn't linger too long because of Haru and Sora taking their situation in a carefree manner.

As an extra note, Haru has given his girls a peck on their forehead. As you might have suspected, the girls' skins turned red, and they became bashful.

The time is 11.57 PM. Soon, the date will change, entering the new day.

Haru is still fully awake as he sees the ceiling contemplatively. Many things occurred in a short one day. Well, maybe it is only one day by this world standard. However, Haru has lived his second life for a week. The extra six days were in the world of Innovate Clear.

Speaking of Innovate Clear, Haru is going to visit that so-called ideal world once again.

There are two ways to enter the ideal world of Innovate Clear. The first one is how he went there with his physical body this morning. The second one is sending his intent to that place. Entering that place through the second way means the manifestation of his mind will be the one that appears in that place.

Haru plans to use the second means to enter that place.

'It will be a long time until I meet them again,' thought Haru with slight hesitation. He was looking at his sisters' sleeping face alternately.

Haru plans to go through an intensive training montage in that world. Although this alternate world has no supernatural elements, he wants to learn and master his abilities, with his magic as the main priority. Moreover, he plans to cheat to grind his Lottery.

Haru keeps watching his girls' sleeping face. It will be a long time until he sees them again. Therefore, he wants to get his fill until he returns from Paradise.

'My girls, huh?' thought Haru as he wryly smiled.

Haru has since long noticed how he treats Sora and Suzuka in a possessive manner. He can't deny that he's madly in love with them.

As an aside, Haru also notices that he is a demiromantic.

A demiromantic is a type of grey-romantic who only experiences romantic attraction after developing an emotional connection beforehand. A demiromantic is unable to feel the primary romantic interest but still can feel the secondary one.

Although Haru never properly developed an attraction to Sora and Suzuka, his predecessor's feelings allow him to have deep feelings for them. Without the assimilation, he would have been indifferent to Sora and Suzuka after he awakened to this life.

Haru dismisses other irrelevant thoughts from his mind and starts collecting his courage and resolve. He will be separated from Sora and Suzuka for years. At the very least, in his perspective.

Since the maximum ratio of the time difference between this world and that world is 1 second to around 30 years, their separation will be for three decades. That is a long time, half of an ordinary human life expectancy.

Haru is uncertain whether he can endure it or not. However, he convinces himself that he can do it. After all, he has a plan to help him stay sane as he trains in seclusion.

Why does Haru go to such an extent? Haru Sakurai's personality that urges him to finish something when he has the opportunity to do so is the cause. He is the type of person who will complete his task as soon as possible, so he can have more free time to spend leisurely.

Haru wants to focus on mastering his current power first before he can focus his attention on his new life with his sisters.

'Alright. I'm ready. No turning back! Let's do this! Wait! I almost forget that!'

Haru grabs his laptop with his telekinetic power and brings it to him. He stores it in his Item Box after it enters the range of his Item Box.

For your information, Haru doesn't need to touch something to store it in the Item Box. As long as the item is within five meters radius, he can put it in his Item Box with a thought.

After that, Haru sends his intent to the world of Innovate Clear. The next moment, he finds himself standing on a green field under the enormous Green Tree of Innovate Clear.

"Firstly, I need to reprogram my mind with self-hypnosis. Without it, I won't be able to endure this madness."

Thankfully, Haru's brand of magic is convenient. As long as he has the aptitude for it, he only needs to imagine the result. It is pretty similar to the demonic power of devils from DxD, or the brand of the magic of the protagonist in 'Eight Son? Are You Kidding Me?!', or the Wishcraft of Einzbern Family in Fate series of Type-moon franchise.

In other words, Haru doesn't need to understand the mechanism of a phenomenon to recreate it.

Since Haru has unlocked Advanced Affinity, the mental interference type of magic is included in his repertory.

"For the self-hypnosis, let's make it functions like 'Gamer's Mind' from that Korean Manga and Momonga's inability to feel emotions due to his undead status and a skeleton body. After all, emotions are the root of human irrationality."

Haru seals his own emotions with his magic. He then experiences an utter calmness that reminds him of his time in that abyss before he awakens to his current life.

With his mind wired for rational and logical thinking, Haru stars his training montage. He starts with experimenting with his Basic Affinity to find his and its limits.

Haru will soon discover that with an efficient mind, knowledge of chemistry, and the Basic Affinity ability, he can become a ridiculously overpowered character without problems. Spamming nukes and creating a perpetual motion machine will be a small matter.
