Universal Affinity was a remarkable skill, granting its user the power to manipulate various energies. It went beyond just that, as those who possessed this skill could easily adapt to any form of energy, whether it be chakra, mana, Chi, nen, or any other type. This skill offered unparalleled versatility, allowing its user to harness and wield different energies with ease and proficiency.

For me, this skill also translated into my "EP" bar, a unique element in place of the traditional MP or other game-like energy bars.

Through Universal Affinity, I gained a new subskill that joined my repertoire:

*Ding*

[You have learned, 『Magic Perception』]

With this new ability, I could sense light, smell, and sound through energy, which was fascinating. The system granted skills either by learning from others or mastering them via repetition.

"How convenient,"

Now equipped with a 360° point of view and the ability to see everything within a 30-meter radius, I observed as Ruby dozed off in front of the TV. Aqua, with a nostalgic expression, kindly covered Ruby with a blanket.

"The way she talks about Ai is really similar to you, Sarina-chan..." Aqua unconsciously remarked.

Ruby, startled by his words, rubbed her eyes and asked in a sleepy voice, "Fwah... What? Did you call me?"

"Oh, my bad, did I wake you up?" Aqua responded.

"No, I didn't call for you either. If you're going to sleep, go to your bed," He continued.

"Nhh..." Ruby hummed, still a bit drowsy.

Ruby got up and walked out of the room. As she reached the hallway, she murmured something to herself.

"Hmm... Well, of course, he didn't call for me. There's no way that's possible. Since Sarina was my previous name."

Meanwhile, using her Magic Perception, Ame sensed the surroundings and witnessed something intriguing.

Do Aqua and Ruby know each other from their previous life? What are the chances?

Well, I am sure they'll figure it out.

Go back to sleep, I shall!

We... Are in trouble.

Ai's salary for the month had turned out to be a meager 200,000¥, leaving her in a state of distress.

Strawberry production, the company she worked for, lacked the scale to handle production and entertainment on its own. So they had to take a huge cut from the profits.

With a flat and lifeless face, Mom expressed, "I realized that the world is all about money," a sentiment that Miyako greeted with a deadpan response.

Ai, as the mother of the triplets, had aspirations for her children to attend good schools and lead happy lives, knowing that it would require financial resources to achieve those goals. This financial strain had been weighing on her lately.

With a resigned tone, she said to us, her children, "Haa... Off I go to my lessons, be good kids,"

In her absence, Ruby was the first to react, asking, "Wait, isn't an idol's salary like one million yen per month?" Her question came across as somewhat naive.

Aqua responded, "Of course not."

"It's not!?"

"There's only a handful of idols who make one million yen a month," Aqua clarified.
