After rebirth, I confessed to the losing heroine

The Shirogane family was already under the radar of an infamous mafia gang—Garris Claw, that had signed a contract with another prominent businessman in Japan.

The said businessman wanted to destroy the Shirogane family, both socially and then physically. That was why, more than thirty goons were sent that day to slaughter all the guards around the little miss of the Shirogane family. And after that, the boxer gang was responsible to ra*e her, and publishing her pictures online, to initiate the destruction of the Shirogane family.

Since the younger brother of the gang leader had his eyes on Miyuki, he also took part in this small side quest…and ended up dying.

That was the catalyst that changed all the plans, the Garris Claw decided that they would go for a direct confrontation without any roundabouts. Their contractor also didn’t have any problem with that so it was decided.

However, the gang leader waited for some days, since his primary and secondary targets, were about to gather in one place. Talk about luck.

Thanks to the fact that all the maids of the Shirogane family had been bought a whole month earlier, this kind of information was served on the platter.

As such, they all decided to attack the Shirogane family when the head of the house and also, the bastard who murdered the gang leader’s brother, would be there.

And they nearly succeeded as well. However, they could have never expected not one but two time travelers to travel back in time and turn the tides, against them.

[Outskirt of Tokyo]

[7.34 PM, Abandoned Church]

The amount of people gathered around the cathedral easily exceeded three digits. The mission was to execute one of the most influential men in the nation.

Shirogane families have a private army of around fifty specially trained men. However, thanks to the spies they have planted in the house, the location of those guards has already been secured, and at the darkest hour of the night, they all would be terminated.

This operation was big and such, and the support required by the contractor was also huge.

The chattering continued amongst various groups, since their work begins tomorrow and this whole night, they took the chance to just eat and enjoy.

If there was something common among these men, then it would be guns and experience. They have been working with the gang for at the very least, two years and have gathered from several locations in Japan, to make this operation, successful.

“Have you met the boss yet? I hear he only allows women and food inside his cabin these days.”

One of the groups was sharing a campfire and stories as they sat around it. They all had their rifles and necessary equipment; which surely were all illegal.

“Aiya~The boss is being dramatic these days. My lil brother, my lil brother kind of sob story.” The largest amongst the group, casually passed the remark about the man they have been working under for ages now.

“Kinda feeling bad. Boss was an orphan, and that brat was his only remaining family.” The oldest one in the group, lit up his cigar as he notified those unawares, about the Boss’ background.

*DHAK*

“Hmm?” Suddenly the old man found something crashing against the ground and craving inside the ashes. He leaned to pick the thing up…only to realize,

“GRENADE!”

**BOOOOOOOOOM**

It was too late, as the grenade erupted and threw the dead bodies of the six; meters away.

Everyone rose to their feet with their guns in hand as they searched the location for the intruder.

“WHO IS THE-*SHUUUK*” The one who shouted, was the one who received a hold in the middle of his forehead.

*DHAK*

As the man fell to the ground, everyone turned their firearms in the direction where the bullet came from.

However,

**BOOOOOMM**

A series of thunderous explosions echoed through the air, claiming the lives of numerous men in a tragic dance of fiery chaos. The devastation unfolded with relentless force, leaving behind a haunting scene of shattered lives and smoldering remnants.

“TAKE COVER!”

“HERE!! HERE!!”

“SHOW YOURSELF COWARD!!”

All the goons either began to run, hide, or shout while shooting at random spots, in panic. However, all they ended up shooting was their fellow gang member in the process

“KHAK!! YOU IDIOT!”

“Stop shooting! He is between u-” The one who tried calming the crowd was also shot just in the middle of his head before dropping dead on the ground. And it was not just him, anyone who tried to stop the chaos, or attempted to leave the church had the same conclusion.

A hunter was lurking in the shadows.

[Miyuki’s POV:]

How long has it been? I don’t know.

Whether Takeda-kun returns? I am not sure.

Would I would remain alive to see the next day? I hoped.

After Takeda-kun left my side, somehow I was no longer shivering and fearing to remain alone. Although I didn’t dare to get out of my room yet, I was not cowering in a corner any longer.

His arrival felt almost magical. Like when I was trying to reach out to someone…anyone, he appeared right before my eyes.

And I could be hallucinating about anything but him.

I remember his touch, his caution, and his care. The way he embraced me, I remember it all. His heat still lingered on my body. His scent still permeated around me, like a blanket of protection.

I indeed fell asleep upon being enshrouded by his warmth, but his absence tore me from that peaceful slumber.

It almost felt like…I needed him.

‘…what happened to me…’ The person whom I only considered as an acquaintance some days ago, I actually now need his presence.

Truth be told, I wasn’t ashamed to admit that…but it also made me wonder,

‘Why was he here…and why didn’t he ask me anything?’ If I started to think then more than one question would pop up.

Like how come he was able to keep his calm when those goons attacked? And also, when did he get that knife to stab Kasumi, and…why did he look at me with those eyes when we were about to die?

There were a lot of ‘Why’s’ and to answer all of them,

*Tap* *Tap*

I instantly rose to my feet and raced my way toward the window.

There he was. Offering me that gentle smile, which melted all my worries and ushered me to open the window and pull him to my embrace, once again.
