After rebirth, I confessed to the losing heroine

Around six thirty in the evening, Hiroto arrived near the Shirogane mansion, where he promised to meet with his girlfriend and go to the summer festival together.

Hiroto wore a yukata which is olive green in shade without any pattern or design. A raven dark obi belt tied around his waist complimented the overall attire. His hair is neatly combed unlike usual when he ties it. Overall, the person looked great and extruded a very mature charm.

Those who crossed paths with Hiroto had to take a moment to admire the young man with such an indifferent charm. Hiroto was not someone who could be compared to his previous self. Now, he looked more like an unattainable handsome young man.

Those who had the intention to ask him out or at least get his number simply warded off upon seeing those cold eyes he possessed.

The young hearts of the maidens thumped rapidly under his stern gaze as they giggled and chatted in whispers while passing by.

Amidst the chaos he was creating unintentionally around, Hiroto stood near the streetlight while gazing at his mobile screen.

He has received a message from Yuichi that he was also heading to the festival; alone.

Canonically, Yuichi went to the festival alone, but today when Hiroto suggested that he should go there, Yuichi said that he would ask Hanabi to accompany him as well since she was in town. However, Hiroto instantly shot down that idea, given how severe a misunderstanding might brew if Kaori sees Yuichi with some other girl.

“Sorry to make you wait.”

His focus was torn from his mobile screen as Hiroto turned his eyes toward the source of the voice and the reason why everyone on the street had taken a pause.

Adorned in a silver kimono cascading to her ankles, the girl who captivated his every thought and dream stood before him. Delicate streaks of sakura hues graced the sleeves, casting a charming and revitalizing aura. Her platinum silver hair was elegantly braided and gathered into a bun, with wisps of curls cascading gracefully down her finely sculpted neck. A subtle touch of makeup accentuated her features, and a hint of pink adorned her lips—a flawless fusion of grace and allure.

Under the street light, she found herself falling in a daze while facing Hiroto and the same could be said for the latter.

Seeing two flustered youths made the passerby smile in awe and sigh in admiration.

Seriously, these two complimented each other quite well.

“Umm…I want to say many things that how gorgeous you look…but I just can’t find the right words….” While rubbing the back of his head, Hiroto spoke in a rare flustered tone with his face faintly red.

Miyuki had the same reaction seeing her boyfriend in a yukata for the first time as she nodded furiously and uttered, “…same.”

Hiroto knew that if he didn’t do anything then they might just stay here until midnight; enjoying each other’s looks and making some small talk. Although he would have loved that, they needed to head toward the festival.

“Then…shall we go?” Extending his hand in her direction, Hiroto asked in a hesitant voice.

Gosh, he was experiencing something like this for the first time! His heart was pounding so fiercely!

Miyuki had a similar reaction but she felt a lot more nervous than him…to the point she just wanted to crouch at the corner of the street and cover her burning face. He looks so damn attractive!

Inching closer to him, she held his hand before Hiroto slowly began to walk in the direction where the festival was organized.

Her heart was drumming in her ears. Her body felt hot and her senses worked overtime to experience this sensation and carve a deep memory out of it.

Glancing at his side profile, she felt her heart melting at the sight.

‘….why is he so charming? I am falling in love with him all over again…Guh! I want to make him mine! But hey, Hiro-kun is already mine, right? Right! Haah~his hand is so big and manly…I wanna lick it…not only his hand but every inch of his body is just so tempting…Will he think of me as a weirdo if I say that? Ugh! Why is that thot leering at my lover?! Annoying! Annoying!’

Hiroto raised his brows upon feeling the sudden tension from his left. The hold on her hand suddenly got a lot more intimate as Miyuki interlaced her fingers with his and drew closer to him.

He wasn’t sure what happened just now, but he would never complain about getting closer to his Hime.

“Until when can you stay out?” Hiroto asked since the fireworks only start around ten on the clock.

“Hmm~Mom never told me if I had a curfew and since I am out here with you, she won’t mind if I return after the fireworks. We are going to watch it together, right?”

The expectant eyes of the girl made him smile as he nodded without thinking much, “Sure we will.”

The distance from the Shirogane mansion to the open field where the festival site was located wasn’t too far, that’s why within ten minutes Hiroto and Miyuki were met by a lot of people; roaming around and enjoying the peaceful evening with their loved ones.

Since it was the weekend and the last day of the summer festival, the number of people was naturally higher than average. However, it wasn’t too crowded to get lost easily.

“You have your phone right?” Hiroto asked, just in case they got separated. Well, even if Miyuki loses her phone, Hiroto can find her—thanks to the microchip he planted under her obi belt; secretly.

“Yes. Safe and secured.” She held her pouch tightly in the other hand.

Hiroto nodded at that before leading her inside.

The first shop where they stopped was a gun shooting stall which offered a soft toy if the player shoots the three balloons tied at different heights.

“You want one?” Hiroto asked as he took a hold of a gallery rifle and positioned the barrel toward target.

Although Miyuki didn’t like soft toys much, seeing the focused side of Hiroto was worth than this whole shop. She readily nodded.

Hiroto paid hundred yen before the shopkeeper handed three pins which would go inside the gun at once.

Hiroto took ten seconds to observe the others and another five seconds to assess his own rifle.

“Nee~Nii-chan~If ya hesitate this much, Ojou-chan might not get impressed ya’know~” The shopkeeper felt a weird vibe coming out of Hiroto, which urged him to hasten the customer.

However, Hiroto smirked at that and took his time before positioning the rear against his shoulder and focused his aim.

All of a sudden, everyone around him turned silent and stopped in their track to look at the hunter currently taking the aim and preparing for the perfect shot.

Involuntarily everyone intook a gulp as they found Hiroto pressing his fingers against the trigger.

The sight of Hiroto narrowing his eyes and looking excessively focused on the target made Miyuki nearly squeal in delight. She took several of his pictures in this pose and if someone would have looked closely, one might have witnessed hearts in her eyes.

The shopkeeper held his breath and didn’t bother wiping the sweat as he watched the creepy customer intently.

Amidst the defeanining silence, three consecutive sound of *Bang* resonated across, followed by the popping sound of the balloons.

Hiroto smirked before twirling the rifle on his palm like a drum stick and placing it on the counter—bringing the shopkeeper back to life.

“So Miyuki, what do you want?” Hiroto asked casually while glancing around the varieties of soft toys. However, Miyuki’s reaction took him off guard,

“I want you, Hiro-kun!”

“Ah!”
