Watching the school gate area becoming increasingly noisy, Hachiman furrowed his brow slightly.
In his line of sight, even the disciplinary committee members were drawn to the scene.
Although Sobu High didn't have a clear policy against student relationships, if it led to widespread disturbance, it was inevitable that the disciplinary committee would have something to say about it.
Looking at the two girls in front of him, Hachiman didn't reject either of them but accepted both of their bento boxes.
"Yui, Kotonoha, thank you."
"I'll make sure to enjoy both of your bentos."
"Hachiman-kun, be careful not to overeat."
"Yeah, Hikki, you don't have to eat mine if you're too full."
Hearing Hachiman's intention to eat both, the two girls quickly intervened.
They hoped that Hachiman would have a good meal at lunchtime and not feel overstuffed.
He walked away, leaving Yui and Kotonoha looking at each other.
"Kotonoha-san, do you also want to make lunch for Hikki?" Yui, who had a relatively outgoing personality, spoke first.
"Yes, Yui-san, is that what you want too?" Kotonoha nodded.
"Yeah, I want Hikki to have a good meal at lunch." Biting her lip, Yui expressed her thoughts.
"I see."
Upon hearing Yui's suggestion, Kotonoha fell silent for a moment, then a gentle smile appeared on her face.
"How about we take turns, one day each?"
Since both of them were doing this for Hachiman's sake, the kind-hearted girls didn't want to monopolize the opportunity to make him lunch.
"Ah, that...sounds good," Yui responded, a bit surprised by Kotonoha's proposal.
"Then let's start with you, Yui-san, tomorrow."
"Or maybe you can go first, Kotonoha-san," Yui politely insisted.
"Alright, I'll start tomorrow."
"Eh?!"
To her surprise, Kotonoha readily agreed without further debate. Now that the order had been decided, Yui couldn't back out.
"Okay, it's settled then. Kotonoha-san, I'm heading to the classroom." With the order determined, Yui waved to Kotonoha and entered the school building.
"Yes, goodbye, Yui-san." The girl smiled and also made her way into the school.
As for the arrangement between them, Hachiman remained unaware.
Upon reaching his classroom and taking his seat, Zaimokuza rushed over.
"Hachiman, you traitor! You've joined the ranks of the normies!" Standing in front of Hachiman, Zaimokuza looked genuinely distressed.
"Having girls give you bentos, that's the ultimate betrayal to us lone wolves."
"You see, us lone wolves are noble. We usually walk alone through the pitch-black night."
As he spoke, Zaimokuza's tone unintentionally took on a "chuunibyou" or middle school syndrome style.
Hearing his words, Hachiman rolled his eyes.
If you're a single dog, just admit it. Why make it sound nice and call yourself a lone wolf?
Besides, even if it's a wolf, I'm the wolf king.
You see, in a wolf pack, only the wolf king has the mating rights.
"Today at lunch, you have to buy me a yakisoba bread." Seeing Hachiman staying silent, Zaimokuza thought he was being coy and confidently made his request.
"Hey, hey, what are you blabbering about?"
Hachiman couldn't help but retort when he heard this guy wanted him to buy bread.
"This is obviously a punishment for you, just a yakisoba bread, you're not that stingy, right?" Zaimokuza said with a sense of entitlement.
"I'm not that stingy, but..."
Seeing him so smug, Hachiman smirked and took out the bentos that Yui and Kotonoha had given him from his bag.
"It seems like I can't go to the convenience store with you at lunch today either."
"Pffft~"
Seeing the two female bento boxes in Hachiman's hands, Zaimokuza clutched his chest and retreated against the wall.
"Last time, it was just one bento, but today you've received bentos from two girls. It's too much, Hachiman. You've truly become a normie," Zaimokuza's tone sounded somewhat choked up.
Because of Zaimokuza's loud voice, the classroom instantly erupted.
"What? It hasn't even been a month since school started, and he already has two girls giving him bentos?"
"Jealousy is making me undergo mitosis. Jealousy is causing me to undergo fission."
"Normies,Fuck!"
"Uwaaa...I'm not crying; it's just that there's sand in my eyes."
And it wasn't just the boys; the girls were also discussing it.
"Haven't we just started school, and two girls are already giving Hikigaya-kun bentos? He's surprisingly popular; I didn't notice that."
"Yeah, his eyes are so creepy."
"Well, well, don't say that. Apart from his eyes, he's quite handsome. For instance, he probably has abs."
"Wow, you're such a fangirl. Why are you sticking out your tongue? Are you trying to lick something?"
"Tsk, I just want to lick, what's it to you?"
"..."
The once-quiet classroom had become noisy, and Hachiman felt a bit helpless.
This wasn't what he intended.
Blame it on Zaimokuza, yes, it was all his fault.
Just then, the bell signaling the start of class rang.
Entering the classroom was a figure dressed in a white lab coat, with long flowing hair.
It was none other than Shizuka, the teacher who coexisted with heroic spirit and beauty.
In high heels, she walked up to the platform, and upon seeing the noisy classroom, she raised an eyebrow and slammed her teaching materials onto the desk.
*Bang!*
A loud noise echoed, and the entire classroom fell silent.
Seeing Shizuka at the platform, the students who were previously gathered in small groups quickly returned to their seats.
"I know you all are in your teenage years and full of energy, but is it really necessary to be this energetic so early in the morning?" Shizuka clearly had built up authority, and upon hearing her words, not a single student in the class dared to speak up.
Even the few troublemakers in the back remained silent, obedient as quails.
Legend had it that at the beginning of the school year, there were indeed a few troublemakers who defied authority.
However, after receiving a kind and amiable lecture from Shizuka, which included breaking a desk with a single punch, they immediately behaved like well-behaved little quails.
From then on, there wasn't a single unruly student in the class.

A/N:
I decided to triple-update because I'm in a good mood, so provide me with a stone as compensation.
-Undergoing mitosis" and "undergoing fission" are both biological processes where one cell divides into two. In this context, the person is using these terms metaphorically to convey that their jealousy is causing emotional or internal conflict, making them feel torn or divided. It's a creative way of expressing the impact of jealousy on their emotional state.
