After seeing Hiratsuka Shizuka off, Asakura couldn't help but start to worry.

After all, the Association Clubroom was in the school, and he currently had no means to move the Clubroom elsewhere. It was foreseeable that Gokou Ruri would come to this school many times, and it would be troublesome if she ran into Hiratsuka Shizuka then.

Although she seemed carefree and unreliable, in reality, the other party was a truly good teacher who could even notice and care for someone like Hachiman Hikigaya, who was a class background character.

Gokou Ruri's meager skills probably wouldn't be able to hide from her. She should be able to easily see that the girl was not a Soubu High School student at all.

If she remembered today's incident then, Asakura feared he would be in a lot of trouble again.

"If only the System could give me a memory manipulation Magic or a magical tool…" Asakura helplessly wished for a deus ex machina.

The System ignored him, continuing to play dead.

Asakura sighed and began to consider getting a Soubu High School uniform for Gokou Ruri.

Although the girl was only in middle school and a bit scrawny, fortunately, she wasn't particularly short. Putting on a Soubu High School uniform should be able to fool most people.

So, the question was: How could he get a girl's school uniform?

Ask a girl in his class to borrow one?

Asakura mentally reviewed the girls in his class, then sadly realized he wasn't familiar with any of them.

Having lived two lives, he hadn't paid attention to the girls around him like innocent young boys of the same generation controlled by hormones. He usually had no awareness of building good relationships with others.

If he were to choose a girl who seemed easier to talk to, there was that blue-haired girl named Yanami Anna, or was it Apricot Nut? And that more cheerful and outgoing sports-type girl named Salt-Roasted Peanut, or was it Lemon Yakishio? And Yuigahama Mochi… Wait a minute, do we have so many people with delicious-sounding names in our class? (Note)

No, if he thought about it carefully, even the nicest girl generally wouldn't give her clothes to a male classmate, right?

"At times like this, I just feel like my moral baggage is still too strong…"

Asakura sighed helplessly.

As if to echo his words, hissing sounds came from all over the shadows in the school courtyard. The originally normal-looking courtyard was now filled with many Snakes.

This was also the application of one of the two Magic that Asakura mastered, the Snake.

If commanding native Snakes still required a tiny bit of Magic, then his manipulation of Snakes created with Magic could be done effortlessly, without expending any Magic at all.

If his moral compass were a bit weaker, getting a school uniform by commanding these pervasive Snakes would be a matter of minutes.

He snapped his fingers lightly, and the Snakes all burrowed back into the shadows. An ordinary person would find it difficult to detect their presence without careful observation.

"The scale still isn't as grand as when Gokou was around..."

Although Asakura didn't lie when talking to the girl, he also left many things unsaid.

For example, if he wasn't mistaken, the girl's Magic could not only control cats, but even the pack of stray dogs that tried to attack her at that time, and the sky-darkening crows, were all summoned by her.

After his analysis, the entire incident should have been like this: Gokou's Magic went out of control, turning her into a cat → After turning into a cat, she was accidentally bitten by a dog, leading the girl to develop a subconscious thought of 'stray dogs want to attack me' → Nearby stray dogs were affected by the power of the Magic, responding to the girl's subconscious and running to attack her → Gokou the cat sought help from other cats, so the cats were also affected by the Magic and began to guard her → She saw crows eyeing the stray cats on the road, which led to the thought of 'crows are also enemies', ultimately resulting in the riot of a large group of stray animals in Chiba...

In fact, even now, Asakura could still occasionally hear police sirens wailing outside the school, indicating that the aftermath of the previous disturbance had not yet completely subsided.

Looking at it this way, the power of the Magic when the girl's Magic went out of control was quite astonishing, at least the covered area was so vast that Asakura could hardly imagine it.

"I don't feel like cooking anymore..."

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed Asakura became, and he sighed again.

Having lived alone for two lifetimes, he naturally knew how to manage his life better than ordinary boys his age. While not particularly skilled at cooking, he could indeed cook a good meal.

Lunch was either in the school cafeteria or he'd buy some bread or something to eat, which was also a way of adapting to local customs.

Too lazy to go home and cook again, he chose a family restaurant called Wagnaria on his way home from school, planning to just grab something to eat at this family restaurant, which seemed like a twin sister of Saizeriya based on its name.

Picking up the menu, Asakura scanned it quickly, choosing what he wanted to eat.

The steak was cheap, probably synthetic. The hamburger patty looked good, but it could be dry if the chef's skills weren't up to par. Pasta was the safest bet; no matter how it's made, it always tastes like tomato meat sauce, so you can't go wrong.

There was also the classic burger and fries combo. Before Asakura's transmigration, many people said these were junk food, but there was actually a lot to it.

A burger usually consists of bread, a patty, vegetables, and some ketchup or mayonnaise. Looked at separately, they are completely unrelated to junk food, and in reality, that's true. 'Junk food' refers more to fries. As a fried food, they produce harmful substances like acrylamide, and are also high in oil and salt. Burgers are often considered junk food because they take the blame for fries...

"I'll have a burger combo."

But one couldn't resist how delicious fries were, and eating them occasionally wasn't a terrible problem.

"Alright. Please wait a moment, customer."

For some reason, the squinty-eyed waitress, who was carrying a katana, smiled and took down Asakura's order before leaving.

Watching the customers in the restaurant hastily making way for her, fearing they might be poked by her katana's scabbard, Asakura felt a familiar complaint stuck in his throat, unsure whether to voice it.

Just as Asakura slumped on the sofa seat, intending to relax, he suddenly heard youthful voices from nearby.

"This won't do, Sousuke!"

Note: Before the male lead's transmigration, he had seen short videos of "Oregairu," the '5 minutes to watch XXX' kind, so while he didn't remember the specific content, he at least recognized the characters. However, because his transmigration was earlier, he had not seen "Too Many Losing Heroines."
