After rebirth, I confessed to the losing heroine

[Next Day]

[Hiroto’s POV:]

Last night, I had a very complicated conversation with Dad, about my relationship and stuff.

The fact that I am dating my ex-fiancé didn’t sit with him. He was anxious whether I was trying to fool Miyuki or maybe this was an attempt to take revenge.

I don’t blame him for having such a mentality, that’s why I clearly told him my intentions toward Miyuki. And even told him that I would bring her home one of these days.

“Okay…let’s see.” I was currently standing in front of the mirror and arranging my hair in a neat and good-boy style.

I was wearing a white shirt and black lowers for my attire, even though I initially thought of wearing formal. However, Miyuki told me not to. She even told me what color I should wear today.

The reason why I was getting prepared around lunchtime was because, today, I was going to meet my lover’s parents.

Shirogane Souma has summoned me and would probably interrogate me based on the relationship I have formed with his daughter. Although it has been some weeks since we started dating, I should have been tactful and met him already. But well, it’s never too late.

I was told to arrive there by two o’clock and currently, the hour needle was still glued on one.

‘…what is this? Am I getting nervous?’ I couldn’t help chuckling inwardly as I realized how my anxiety pushed me to do everything in a rush and get ready an hour earlier than the meeting time.

I have met various fathers of numerous girls in the past life due to my mission, however, this time I was not going to use a facade and wouldn’t be lying to the elders. The person I would be answering to is someone important to my Hime. And for a smooth sailing life where Miyuki doesn’t need to choose between me and her family, I need to ensure that everything goes fine today.

“Don’t you need to prepare some gifts?”

I glanced at my mother who was standing near the door with a troubled expression.

It was no surprise that Dad told her about my relationship with Miyuki and, that I was going to meet her family today.

“I am still a student and not like I am going to ask her hand in marriage. On the contrary, it may show that I am trying to act mature.”

Hearing my words, my mother sighed, “When did you grow up this much…correcting my mistakes now.”

I could sense how conflicted she was inwardly, that’s why after fixing my hair, I went to her side and held her hand gently.

Placing her palm on my cheek I leaned my face into her touch and asked her, “Are you troubled because of our differences?”

The status of the Shirogane family and ours couldn’t come in comparison anymore. It was given that my parents would be worried about the treatment I would receive from Miyuki’s family.

“I can face anything in this world…but seeing my child sad will break me apart.”

The tender voice and those sincere eyes were something I could expect only from a mother. Her own happiness doesn’t matter as long as I am happy….*sigh*.

“I know you must have doubts but trust me, Mom, until I have Miyuki on my side I am sure I will be able to win her parents’ trust and get accepted by them.”

Mom took a deep breath as she caressed my cheek and nodded, “I wish you the best of luck. ”

Luck eh…maybe I need that today—with such thoughts I left my house.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Around fifteen minutes past one, I reached the mansion.

I was thinking of telling Miyuki that I reached early and whether I should wait outside. However, before I could have called her, Yuichi’s number began flashing on the screen.

I first thought about disconnecting the call, but since I needed to stall for time, I picked it up,

[Yo~Already at the death door?]

Hearing his voice annoyed me a little. He knew I was coming here today, and knew that I would arrive early…yet this bastard is asking the obvious.

“State the purpose of your call or I shall block your contact.”

[Haha! What’s that automated voice? Don’t tell me, the ever-unwavering Hiro is nervous~]

….alright, it was the worst decision picking his call just before the meeting.

[Oi! Don’t cut the call. I need to tell you something!]

Just as I was about to detach the phone from my ear and tap on the red icon, I heard his desperate call.

“If it’s something stupid again-”

[No, it’s that. I…uh, when will you get time today? I need to discuss something with you in person.]

I raised my brows at that. From what I remember Yuichi should be focusing on Kaori at this point in time. Then why is he seeking my help?

“Is this about Kaori?” I asked what seemed to be most probable.

[Uh…yeah, something like that. Then, when can I meet you?]

I felt that there was something suspicious about his behavior. This vague way of talking…did he fight with Karoi?

I had a bad feeling about this.

“I will meet you at 6. Text me the location.”

[Got it. Now, enjoy your time with your in-laws.]

With a huff, I disconnected the call.

Placing the phone inside my pocket I turned my eyes toward the mansion.

‘…just like any other mission, this will be a success as well. ‘

With such thoughts(hopes) I marched forward.

[Yuichi’s POV:]

“What did he say?”

Hearing my ex-rival’s voice I answered him, “At six. I am calling him near the old shrine.”

“Hehe~can’t wait.” Seeing his grin, I sighed.

This guy has been with me back in the underworld. He always competed against me, only to lose every time.

The reason I called him here today, owing him a favor, was because I was unsure of what might happen today.

Ryuuske, or whoever that guy is, might pull some random trick and somehow harm Hiroto. That’s why I need someone to protect Hiroto while I deal with those goons.

‘Haah…it’s just thirty men…why am I getting a bad feeling about this…’
