Chapter 7: Eating Bentos from Two Beautiful Girls
’Ichika?’Ichika Ayazaki, one of the heroines of HHHS, was staring at Zayden as soon as he got out of the car, with her heterochromatic eyes: the left one light brown and the right one wine red.
Ichika is an unparalleled beauty with a strong yandere trait. She has long, charming orange hair and a well-proportioned face. She is tall compared to her peers, standing at 1.68 m. With long, elegant legs, her breasts were modest compared to Erika’s, but by no means small.
Now, why was such a heroine staring at Zayden so intensely as soon as he arrived in front of the school?
Although she was the president of the Disciplinary Committee, he didn’t think he was breaking any school rules at that moment. So, what was her deal, really?
By the way, her affection index toward him was quite low, 7.here was a chance it would’ve increased, even if just by 1 point.
Even so, this was a better outcome for him.
See, he didn’t care one bit if, in some routes, Catherine would become Subaru’s girlfriend. And seeing that she was showing so much interest in him, he wasn’t foolish enough to reject her advances.
Besides, he wanted to make his stance clear that he had no intention of being monogamous.
If something was going to happen between them, it had to be transparent. He didn’t like those who did things behind others’ backs. If someone was afraid they couldn’t convince them to accept a polygamous relationship, they shouldn’t even try in the first place.
Erika, although upset that Zayden didn’t accept only her bento, still pulled her desk next to his and sat very close to him, picking up her bento.
She wanted to make it clear that, although she wasn’t the only one whose bento he accepted, at least she was the one sitting next to him while they ate.
Meanwhile, Catherine, seeing Erika’s smug expression, made a strange sound like a cute squirrel, grabbed her own bento, and dragged her desk to sit across from Zayden.
"Is it okay if I eat with you, right?" she asked, already pulling up a chair and sitting down.
"Make yourself at home," Zayden replied.
The first bento he opened was Erika’s.
It was well-crafted and balanced. With salad, sausages cut into octopus shapes, beef and potato stew, perfectly rolled and sliced omelet, and in the rice, there was a pink heart design.
Out of the corner of her eye, Erika glanced in his direction to see his reaction. She seemed a bit nervous at that moment.
"It looks really good," he said, clasping his hands together: "Thanks for the food."
When she saw him smile and pick up his chopsticks to try it, she visibly relaxed.
For most people there, although Zayden had changed and become an ’ikemen (very handsome man),’ it was hard to forget that before this, he was an infamous delinquent that everyone feared.
Seeing him now turn the page, and on top of that, having two of the most beautiful girls in the first year competing for him, made some start to wonder if they had accidentally entered a parallel world and this wasn’t the Zayden they knew.
After all, not long ago, he had been suspended after beating up five seniors and sending them to the hospital.
So, how could someone so violent turn the page so easily?
At some point, Yamagi also joined them.
After finishing eating Erika’s bento, Zayden said: "It was delicious, Erika, thank you."
"Fufu, you don’t need to thank me for that, really." Even though she said that, she couldn’t help but give a big smile, happy with his words.
"Now it’s my turn!" Catherine said, with her cute pronunciation that carried a double meaning.
"Okay." Zayden agreed easily and opened the bento.
They were sandwiches made with sliced bread.
The filling included ham, fried egg, cheese, lettuce, and tomato.
It wasn’t something he usually ate, but that didn’t mean he disliked it. And the choice of salad to accompany it was something he gave a seal of approval.
Picking up one of the triangular sandwiches, he took a bite from one of the corners.
It was easy to bite and chew. The taste wasn’t amazing, but it wasn’t bad either.
Seeing Catherine’s expectant look, he finished chewing and praised: "It turned out really good."
"Hehehe~ Happy to hear that~" She sang cheerfully and started eating the sandwiches from her own bento.
Looking at the sandwiches, Erika felt an urge to comment something but held back and started eating her own bento.
From beginning to end, Yamagi, who had joined them, ate in silence.

At home, after a good bath, Zayden picked up his smartphone and saw there was an unread message on LINE.
It was Tsukasa inviting him to go out on Saturday.
Tsukasa: [Got any plans for this Saturday? Here’s the thing, this Saturday, there’s a charity auction. I have an extra ticket and was wondering if you’d like to go with me?]
Tsukasa: [Sticker of a pink cat putting a paw on its cheek, raising it with sparkling eyes]
───────────
[Hidden Mission: Spend Money on a Girl]
[Time-Limited Task – 7 days: Spend 100 million yen on a single girl]
[Reward: 2x [Attribute Potion: Increases 1 to 3 attributes randomly when consumed]
───────────
Blinking his eyes, he thought about Tsukasa’s message. It was too much of a coincidence.
It was as if she was telling him to go to the auction and spend a fortune on her. Otherwise, how else would he spend that much money on a single girl? Buying a luxury apartment? A mansion?
Seeing no reason to refuse, he agreed to her invitation.
Tsukasa: [Then, see you on Saturday~~♪]
Tsukasa: [Sticker of a seductive girl blowing kisses in the shape of hearts]
After that, he got ready and went out.
It wasn’t like he had a specific place to go; he just felt like going out and walking a bit.
