After rebirth, I confessed to the losing heroine - Chapter 70- Wanna see
Hiroto and Miyuki reached the school while talking, in no time.
The students didn’t seem rushed since there were more than fifteen minutes left for the homeroom.
Hiroto felt the distance to be shortened today, having his Hime beside him. However, taking a detour wasn’t an option so they entered the building.
Yuichi and the other two have disappeared somewhere, but since Hiroto didn’t receive any calls from Yuichi, he didn’t bother about them.
Entering the main building, Hiroto and Miyuki halted before the shoe lockers.
“Hey, hey…isn’t she the Shirogane Miyuki?”
“Yeah…but who is she with?”
“Someone from her class…”
“Woah, the venomous queen can be on good terms with someone?”
“Shh… they are gonna hear us.”
Hiroto was on the verge of approaching that guy who regarded Miyuki in such an insulting manner. However, Miyuki held his hand and shook her head indifferently.
“It doesn’t affect me. I have gotten accustomed to it.” Miyuki has always been cold and unresponsive to others. Her aura didn’t allow others to approach her, that’s why she gets strange names from different groups.
Even during P.E. and other activities where students need to group up, Miyuki often makes some excuse to go to the infirmary. She doesn’t like to associate with people because of their twisted nature.
“Yeah, but don’t expect me to tolerate such insults. If someone badmouths you, then they are better off having no tongue to speak.”
Now that’s what Miyuki likes. Straightforward and true to his desires.
Seeing Hiroto getting mad over her made Miyuki smile in delight—baffling those people, who were whispering about her previously.
This might be the first time for many to see her smiling.
“…h-hey…she can smile…”
“I can see that….isn’t she beautiful….”
“I think I am falling in lo-*BAM*” Everyone instantly closed their mouths hearing the loud bam, which arrived from near the shoe locker.
The punch he landed on his locker had enough strength to make a dent in the metal cabinet.
With his fist still connected to it, Hiroto directed a wide smile…but, his eyes weren’t smiling at all.
Everyone immediately scrambled away, without sharing a word.
Too scary.
This time Miyuki giggled aloud and clung to his arm, “Seriously Hiro-kun~You are so easy to provoke.”
Hiroto sighed. This wasn’t him generally, but when it comes to Miyuki, he just can’t seem to control himself.
“Now, let me see your hand…” Miyuki stepped forward to see his hand—but soon her eyes went toward the numerous letters that began to drop out of his locker once it was opened.
“Ah…it must be-” Hiroto wasn’t able to take a single of them, as in lightning speed, Miyuki snatched all those letters and tore them mercilessly. The murderous demeanor that surrounded her, scared the passerby.
Looking at her narrowed eyes and fuming temperament, Hiroto inwardly chuckled.
‘Now, who is the one to get easily provoked?’

[Lunch Period]
Miyuki and Hiroto, as usual, went to the rooftop to enjoy their peaceful lunch break.
Miyuki brought two bentos, as always, and inside them, there were various nutritional dishes in accordance with Hiroto’s preference.
“When is your cousin arriving?” While munching on the rice cake, Hiroto asked in a casual tone.
Miyuki stiffened at that, seemingly still a little anxious before she replied, “By Thursday…maybe.”
“Hmm~well, there is still time for the engagement ceremony. Is she going to stay until then?” The engagement ceremony was next week and that cousin of hers might arrive the day after tomorrow.
“Possibly…but don’t worry; I won’t let her in my room.” If Nene finds out, how easily Hiroto climbs into Miyuki’s room, then it would become a hassle to explain things to her and prevent her from telling it to Miyuki’s father.
“Hmm~you don’t have to worry about her. I will handle everything.” Hiroto reassuringly held her hand and extended his lips in a soft smile.
Miyuki feels a lot relieved when he says that. It feels that any and every problem can be taken care of until he is with her.
The growing silence between them was quite comfortable as they wordlessly looked at each other. For them, words weren’t required to communicate. They could comfort each other by their presence alone.
*CLANK*
However, much to their irritation, someone barged into their personal space and disturbed the tranquility.
Both of them directed their condensed gazes at the person who just appeared—making the said intruder taken aback.
Regardless, Yuichi didn’t stop in his tracks and approached the duo, “Hiro, I need your help.”
Before Hiroto could have reacted to that, Miyuki asked, “You really don’t know how to respect someone’s privacy, right?”
“But…aren’t you guys in the open?” Yuichi tilted his head.
Hiroto wanted to facepalm hearing such a clueless response before he asked him, “What do you need this time?”
Yuichi broke out of his daze as he hurriedly said, “Actually, some time ago…”
The story goes like: When Kaori and Yuichi went to the cafe to eat lunch, someone from the class next door asked Kaori to come to the baseball pitch to cheer them up. And Kaori readily agreed since along with her there are several girls in the cheerleading club. So it was natural for her.
Although Yuichi didn’t say anything to Kaori, he felt troubled about her cheering for someone else. As such, he also said something like, ‘Since there is a trial today, I might as well try my luck.’
That brings him here,
“Please join with me. I don’t know much about baseball.” With his head bowed, Yuichi requested a blank faced Hiroto.
He knew this event was about to come, but it was a little too early…. then again, Yuichi and Kaori got together early as well, compared to canon.
“What have you taken me for? Some sort of jack of all trades?” Hiroto couldn’t discern why Yuichi would even assume that a home-going club member like Hiroto would be good at sports.
“….but you do know how to play right?” Yuichi asked with his brows raised and certainty leaking through his voice.
Hiroto was about to reject this stupid request when suddenly Miyuki muttered under her breath,
“…Hiro-kun playing baseball…”
Hiroto turned his gaze to her and found Miyuki in a daze.
Nudging her slightly, he asked, “You wanna see me play?”
Her face turned slightly red as she nodded nervously.
“Yes…I want to”
“Then it’s decided.” Turning his attention toward Yuichi, Hiroto said, “I will accompany you. Let’s go there together.”
Yuichi exhaled in relief before he thanked not only Hiroto but Miyuki as well and walked away.
Today, Hiroto is going to give his Hime, a good show.

A/N:- It doesn’t feel boring right? I mean, some slice of life and all? Drop a comment.
Hahaha!! It’s adorable how devoted they are to each other. 🥰 Though, seriously, Yuichi needs to learn to do things on his own instead of depending on him. ALL. THE. TIME. He’s lucky that Miyuki wanted to see Hiroto play baseball. 🙄
