After rebirth, I confessed to the losing heroine - Chapter 48- Confessed?
Shirogane Souma was a great and admirable man. For someone who has achieved so many things within fifty years of age and inspires so many youths by his achievements…it was given that Miyuki respects her father a lot.
And being his only child, she always sought perfection in herself. She didn’t want to make a joke out of Shirogane’s name as such she did her best to become the best. And being an obedient child of her parents was one of the qualities she possessed.
However, it might be the first time that Miyuki refused to follow her father’s words.
“I want you to attend that ceremony with Ryuuske-kun.”
“I am sorry, father, but I can’t.”
Yuki’s brows raised in surprise and even Souma seemed momentarily speechless because of the firm rejection from his daughter.
It was truly unexpected for Miyuki to not agree with something that her father said. However, her demeanor and the way she rejected him, signified that she didn’t have any regrets as well.
Apart from being surprised, Souma was curious as well, which urged him to ask, “Can I know the reason? Did that boy say something to you?”
“This can be possible. I heard Ryuu-kun didn’t have dinner with Miyuki and returned home soon after.”
Yuki’s words affirmed that something indeed happened between Miyuki and Ryuuske which made their daughter aversed toward Ryuuske.
However, neither of the two expected her response,
“It’s not that…actually, I have been wanting to tell you both about this for some days now.”
Souma frowned slightly as he asked, “Everything fine, Miyu?”
Since Miyuki’s expression barely changes even in front of her parents, it becomes difficult for them to discern whether she is nervous or just purely indifferent.
However, at the moment, Miyuki was anxious.
“Actually…I have been dating someone for two weeks now.”
“!…” Yuki was taken aback by the statement as she turned her eyes toward her husband, and found him looking back at her.
Souma was quick to recover as he asked, “Who is it?”
Although he understood why Miyuki doesn’t want to join the ceremony with Ryuuske, his priority lies in knowing the person, whom her daughter is dating.
Hearing the question, Miyuki fidgeted nervously—a very rare sight for her parents to witness.
Her gaze fell to the ground and left-hand fingers, tightly wrapped around the sofa edge before she responded,
“It’s Hiroto-kun.”
“Takeda Hiroto-kun?”
Miyuki nodded.
Miyuki was prepared to argue with her parents if they told her to break the relationship based on their past. It was understandable why anyone would suspect Hiroto and Miyuki’s relationship given how Miyuki has dumped Hiroto in the past. However, only Miyuki knows how passionate and sincere Hiroto is in this relationship.
And for the sake of the love he carries for her, Miyuki is prepared to fight anyone in this world so she can continue to be with him.
However, the response her father uttered, left her baffled,
“Tomorrow…bring that brat here.”
As Souma got up from his seat with a huff, Miyuki called in slight elation and a little panic,
“Father?”
Without turning to look at his daughter, Souma said,
“If he wants to date my daughter, then he must have the guts to answer some of my questions.”
Without any further ado, he walked away.
Yuki came closer to her daughter before assuring her, “Don’t worry, dear. If your Father agreed to meet him then he already has accepted your relationship.”
Miyuki’s lips were stretched wide in a blooming smile as she hugged her mother wordlessly.
Seeing her daughter’s reaction, Yuki giggled.
“Fufu~Love surely changes people.”

It was after dinner when Hiroto returned to his room and finished his homework. Although he knew to pass all the exams with flying colors, homework was inevitable.
Miyuki texted him that her father had called her to talk about something. He still doesn’t know about the talk that Miyuki had with her parents, which was making him a little anxious.
‘Is it about that guy?’ Hiroto has investigated Ryuuske and discovered the deep relationship between his’ and the Shirogane family.
Amidst his internal conflict and rising tension, someone knocked on the door.
Hiroto spat the bullet he has been chewing on to ease his stress, before storing it inside a plastic wrap and inviting his father inside.

“Were you studying?” Ryouske walked in with slow strides as he asked his son with his brows elevated.
“Yup…can’t escape this demon.”
Hiroto offered his chair to his father before pulling a stool for himself from beside the table.
“You want to talk about something?” It wasn’t rare for his parents to talk to him, since during dinner, the Takeda family eats less and talks more.
However, the fact that Ryouske came to his room meant that there was something serious.
And as Hiroto anticipated,
“Hiroto….are you involved in some shady business these days?”
Hiroto tilted his head before asking, “No? Why do you ask?”
Ryouske sighed, “Your mother told me that you return home late now and then and sometimes you even leave the house after dinner.”
Hiroto was surprised. He didn’t expect his mother to be so perceptive. He thought his parents wouldn’t know when he left or entered the house…but he was wrong.
“Please tell me everything truthfully son. I assure you, I will help you-”
“It’s nothing like that, Dad. I am not into some underworld business.”
Ryouske was surprised but didn’t suspect his son’s words even for once.
“Then…what is it?”
Hiroto took a deep breath and pondered. In the end, there was no harm in confessing,
“I have been dating someone.”
“You mean like a romantic relationship? Who is that lucky girl who caught my son’s attention?”
It wasn’t that Hiroto was a picky boy in Ryouske’s eyes, rather, after what happened with the Shirogane family, Ryouske believed that his son wouldn’t date anyone any time soon.
Naturally, Ryouske was happy that his son moved on from Shirogane Miyuki and found himself a partner…however, that elation only lasted for some moments until Hiroto didn’t reply to his previous query,
“Shirogane Miyuki.”
Within ten minutes of the man-to-man conversation, Ryouske experienced many emotions and after Hiroto declared who his girlfriend was, the older Takeda could only stare at his son with a blank look.
