After rebirth, I confessed to the losing heroine - Chapter 9- Confused?
Shirogane Miyuki, is a name widely known across the nation, not because of her individual achievement but her father’s success.
However, despite being regarded as a princess born with a golden spoon, Miyuki wasn’t just a spoilt Ojou, who knew nothing more than the topic of partying and spending money on shopping mindlessly.
She was a smart and calculative girl, who had never even once given her parents, the chance to get disappointed. She always tries her best to become the best.
Her father provided her with everything and never considered having another child, unintentionally putting her under pressure to become a reliable leader in the future who could continue their company and name for the years to come.
And Miyuki has constantly proven her worth by doing her best, not only in studies at her current age level but her ethical skills and management studies also been going well since she graduated from middle high.
As an individual, Miyuki actually doesn’t have much of an interest or hobby to talk about…other than watching and playing with cats from time to time. She just couldn’t endure their cuteness and found herself getting attracted by their charm.
Initially, she suspected that she was ill…but her maid told her that Miyuki was just curious about something that wasn’t related to her work.
Miyuki was alright about the fact that there was something, other than her studies which made her mind distracted, however, she never thought there would come a day when other than cats, something could make her fall into such a deep contemplation.
“My lady? Are you okay?” Reaching back to the mansion where Miyuki mostly lives with her maids, she is greeted by the closest person in her life.
Looking at the maid who asked the question, Miyuki discerned that she wasn’t aware of the incident that occurred some hours ago, or this woman would have been all over the place by now.
Well, considering the severity of the matter, Miyuki wasn’t surprised that her father decided to keep the matter a secret.
“I am fine…bring me honey water.” Miyuki didn’t know what came over her, but even after leaving the hospital, she wasn’t able to calm down at all.
The maid immediately nodded and rushed toward the kitchen, meanwhile, Miyuki made her way toward the sofa.
“Good evening, my lady.” Every maid that came across her, greeted her in the same manner, however, there was no response from Miyuki which made them terrified, whether they had done something wrong.
Meanwhile, Miyuki just was reeling back the footage of those ten minutes she spent with Hiroto back in the hospital as she found her head getting muddled once again.
“My lady.” As her personal maid—Shirakawa Kasumi, appeared with honey water, Miyuki couldn’t help asking in an uncertain tone.
“Kasumi…are you dating someone?” The young woman in her early twenties was taken aback by the sudden question, however, she answered honestly.
“Umm, yes. I think I have told you about my childhood friend whom I began dating in high school. Why do you ask, my lady?”
Only Kasumi had the courage to converse with the lady so openly, and listening to two of them talk, made the other maids relieved that their jobs weren’t at risk.
Miyuki raised her brows at that since she didn’t remember hearing anything about it, or maybe she just forgot.
Sipping on the warm water that soothed her throat, she remained silent for a bit, but the maid didn’t leave her side. Kasumi very well knew that her lady had some more queries to satiate so she waited patiently.
And true to her expectation, the silver head soon asked in an uncertain tone, “So…how did he confess?”
Kasumi was thoroughly surprised by her lady’s curiosity treading toward a ‘normal’ direction this time. The topic of romance, that is.
“Well…we were friends for a long time so he came to me with a bouquet and confessed his feelings.”
Another round of silence, which made the older one sure, of how uneasy her lady was about asking things related other than her work and studies.
Kasumi waited patiently before her lady once again asked, “So…did he point out all your good traits and tell you how he admires every aspect of your life in the confession?”
“Hmm?” Tilting her head, she responded, “…I mean, he said he has liked me for a long and would be very lucky to have me as his partner. And…just that. Why do you ask, my lady?”
After that Miyuki didn’t say anything but just walked back to her room…carrying an empty glass in her hand.
As Miyuki thought, there was something seriously wrong with Hiroto.
‘But why my chest is getting so heavy…’ Maybe she should also get assessed by a doctor.

[Hiroto’s POV:]
I have been engaged in sorting out my memories and what course of action I would need to take, in order to keep everything in order.
The Goddess demanded Yuichi’s happiness and to let him unite with all his harem members. Well, being the protagonist it wouldn’t be too tough for him to make every potential love interest fall for him, so I won’t interfere there.
Oh yes, except for Miyuki. I am so gonna thoroughly destroy any route that could lead them to get together. Call it possessiveness or caution, I couldn’t let her be anywhere around Yuichi.
If not for the Goddess then I might have ended up killing Yuichi right away, to break any flag that could endanger Miyuki. But well…
At this time around, the first arc of the first heroine, Hanzo Kaori was supposed to begin in a few days.
The first volume, first arc—From Best Friends to Lovers.
Yeah, as it sounds, the first heroine would fall for the protagonist once he saves her from a psycho rapist. The series of events would begin from day after tomorrow and Yuichi would get severely damaged as well.
However, he’s a trained martial artist with a lot of connection so it was given that he would be able to solve it somehow.
Even so, I didn’t want to take any chances, that was why I would also follow them as a backup and jump in only if Yuichi or Kaori’s life seemed in danger.
‘Now that I think about it…’ I went toward my washroom before looking at my reflection in the mirror.
As it was shown in the game, I was a fairly tall and handsome young man with raven hair and slightly grey eyes. I had a lean physique and well-developed muscles. Thanks to the regular exercising habits of this body, I would be able to fairly adapt to my previous life training module in no time.
‘Now let’s see…’ Taking the unused shaving blade from nearby, I slit the skin of my thumb before red liquid poured out of it.
I held my thumb above my head and let the blood drop on my tongue. Once done, I chanted the Goddess’s name, which she plunged into my consciousness at the time when I was reincarnating.
Soon enough my whole body resonated with a brilliant white light, signifying the completion of the ritual.
*****
While Hiroto was getting accustomed to his life and new body, Yuichi along with Kaori decided to meet the blackmailer today.
Well, of course, Yuichi was following Kaori while keeping his presence secret. He intended to first erase all the evidence from the blackmailer before punching that bastard into a pulp.
…however, Yuichi didn’t know that this would be his worst mistake by underestimating the opponent.
