After rebirth, I confessed to the losing heroine - Chapter 72- Game~2

Miyuki is a little fangirl of Hiroto in her heart.

His different sides always make her heart race and the desire to capture his pictures as much as she could just never fades away.

That’s why when Yuichi proposed the baseball game, the image of Hiroto wearing the body-fit baseball attire, running on the field, getting all sweaty….all those images made her nearly nosebleed.

That’s why she was here, sitting in the stands and watching her boyfriend from afar.

Those clothes looked really good on him. His athletic build made any clothes special and her heart, restless.

She stared at him for a good while, before Hiroto finally glanced at her, and in embarrassment, she could only wave back at him.

Gosh, he looks so good.

Because of her excitement, she nearly missed hearing the conversation of the girls who were sitting on her left.

“Isn’t Yuichi-senpai and Hiroto-senpai, new to this team?”

“They are giving trials today….haah, look at those biceps. I wonder if Yuichi-senpai can choke me in his arms.”

“Look look, Hiroto-senpai’s abs are peeking when he stretches~I wanna touch them~”

Miyuki frowned and wanted nothing more than to pluck those eyes that were looking at her Hiro so vulgarly.

‘They need to disappear….’ Miyuki doesn’t remember their names, but she learned their faces and that was enough to have them never appear before her or Hiroto again.

Focusing back on the game, Miyuki felt her heart nearly leaping out of her chest as she saw Hiroto taking the ball and getting ready to pitch.

She didn’t think twice and took out her secondary phone which had a good camera and massive storage. This phone was solely dedicated to capturing and collecting Hiro-kun’s pictures.

She clicked on the camera app and turned it into the video recording mode.

Focusing on the field, she kept the camera solely focused on Hiroto and no one else.

The way he shifted his cap and rolled his right sleeve until his jersey didn’t appear to be sleeveless, nearly made her faint. How hot~ah.

Hiroto’s narrowed eyes were like a hawk’s who was looking at his prey and was getting ready to attack.

But without realizing he was attacking Miyuki’s heart with his every action.

Regardless of her untamed emotions she kept the camera steady and watched the game carefully.

Since she knew that Hiroto never had played baseball much before, she hoped that Hiroto’s team would lose today and Miyuki could console him afterward.

It was evil, but she didn’t care.

….however, Miyuki’s expectations were betrayed.

The ball was thrown and the hitter remained standing before the umpire called out,
“Strike One!”

*Shlick*

“Strike Two!”

The action was replayed.

*Woosh*

The third time, the batter indeed swung his bat but because of the high speed of the ball and the slight curve it got, the batter could only hit the open air before the ball was collected in the glove.

“Strike Three! Batter out!”

“””…..”””

Deafening silence ensued on the ground as the opponent team’s captain stood in a daze at the home plate with the bat fell to the ground.

Everyone on the field was standing in shock and al was the coach who had grabbed his head with both hands.

Amidst the silence, someone clapped from the stands, which brought everyone out of the daze.

Hiroto smiled merrily at his girlfriend who clapped fo him after putting down the camera.

He bowed to her before walking back to the position where he was fielding earlier.

In the end, Rei called Hiroto to pitch again and the opponent team’s total score was limited to four.

[Innings break]

Hiroto naturally jogged towards Miyuki and took off his cap while he was on the way.

The summer of June was quite irritating and dampening. Although he pitched only to four batters and didn’t move much during fielding, Hiroto’s back was drenched and his forehead was also covered with sweat.

“Hey, everything good? You aren’t feeling dizzy right?” Upon reaching near her, Hiroto asked while closely inspecting her complexion.

Miyuki is brought up in a very sheltered setup and barely has participated in fieldwork. Although she exercises regularly, the summer heat must be too harsh for her.

Miyuki was in a half daze after he stood near her.

His fragrance…the domineering scent of his sweat mixed with his deodorant just made her feel dizzy and she lost all her control over her emotions.

The small sight of his collarbone was enough to make her feel thirsty as she nodded without even properly hearing him.

“Here…some water.” Hiroto took the water before he asked again,

“You really are fine right?”

Miyuki this time nodded vigorously or he might ask her to return home.

*-*-*-*

[Meanwhile with Yuichi]

“You played really well, Yu-kun!” Kaori chimed in a bright voice as Yuichi stopped before her and took several big gulps of water.

Parting his lips from the bottle he missed the fascinated look Kaori was giving when his adam’s apple bobbed and the water droplet trickled down his chin.

“Haaah…well, it’s all thanks to Hiro that the opposing team wasn’t able to score much. I am pretty sure the Coach wouldn’t let Hiro go now.”

Kaori was thankfully broken out of her daze as Yuichi returned the bottle to her before she hurriedly said, “You would get selected as well! Yu-kun was really brilliant on the field just now.”

Yuichi smiled helplessly at the enthusiastic girl who couldn’t stop praising him for no reason.

“Hey, Yuichi-kun. Can you help me get in touch with Hiroto-kun?” Suddenly, a brown-haired girl who was wearing a similar cheerleading uniform walked towards the duo and asked with a seductive smile.

The way her skirt was at least four inches shorter than others, and how she even licked her lips while gazing at Hiroto, Yuichi discerned her intention.

Kaori frowned and was about to tell her that Hiroto was already taken when suddenly Yuichi turned to make himself stand just beside the brown head so their line of sight could be the same.

Pointing toward Miyuki, who was shyly conversing with Hiroto, Yuichi asked, “Can you see that girl?”

The brunette was baffled but she hummed in response.

Yuichi’s lips formed into a happy smile before he informed her, “If you dare approach Hiro, that girl will inflict so much pain that you’ll be praying just to survive.”

The brown haired stopped chewing the gum she had and with a pale face glanced at Yuichi.

Yuichi, with a smile still plastered on his face, nodded slowly as in to reassure her that what he said is true.

“….you really are cruel, Yu-kun. But well, what you did is for the best.” Once the girl dashed away, Kaori spoke with a dry smile.

“Forget about that. You just need to focus on me in the next inning and cheer for me, okay?” Kaori was surprised to hear such a determined tone. She nodded nevertheless.

Little did she know, that she has caused such a rivalry between her boyfriend and a guy whose first name she doesn’t even know …
