Chapter 1793: Birthday Party 2
With that song, the party became very merrier, and Sumire looked at Haru with amazement since this guy was a very amazing singer, right?
"Let's take the cake. I feel like this cafe is very delicious," Leo suddenly said.
Everyone, who heard Leo's words, also nodded. After all, the moment Haru took out the cake, they were quite dumbfounded at how delicious it seemed.
The cake that Haru baked for Tatsuya's birthday party was an Opera Cake.
Opera Cake is a French cake. It is made with layers of almond sponge cake soaked in coffee syrup, layered with ganache and coffee French buttercream, and covered in a chocolate glaze.
The cake was so beautiful that it could be compared to the dark night in the sky.
"Haru, did you really bake this cake yourself?" Erika asked. Even though her feeling toward Haru was pretty complex when he brought his girlfriend, she was still curious whether he was the one who baked it.
"Un." Haru nodded and said, "Don't worry, it is very delicious."
"Then Miyuki." Tatsuya looked at Miyuki.
"Yes." Miyuki nodded and started to slice the cake for everyone. The moment they got their cakes, they thanked Tatsuya, Miyuki, and Haru first before they quickly ate the cake.
*Boom!*
The moment they put the cake on their mouths, they felt like a chocolate meteor bombarded them. It felt like they had returned to prehistoric times where the dinosaurs became extinct because of the meteor. They had never tasted such a delicious cake in their entire life before, and it was so delicious that it almost made them extinct.
"Haru, did you really make this cake?" Leo asked.
"Un." Haru nodded.
"Marry me," Leo said.
"...."
Haru shuddered when he heard Leo's confession and quickly backed down to Sumire's side, hiding behind her, along with creating a wall from Mizuki, Erika, Shizuku, and Honoka. "I refuse!" But the girls' response made him speechless since they only gave the nod at Leo's confession.
However, the girls didn't seem surprised by Leo's confession and thought that it was normal that this guy wanted to marry someone who could bake such a delicious cake.
Tatsuya somehow couldn't help but chuckle at this interaction.
Miyuki looked at Tatsuya, who chuckled, and a smile couldn't help but form on her face. She looked at Haru, and somehow she understood why her aunt was attracted to him, but at the same time, she was really wondering whether her aunt knew about Sumire's matter?
While eating the cake, the girls couldn't help but gather around Sumire since they were really curious about her.
"Um, Muroto-san, can I ask you a question?" Honoka asked.
"Yes." Sumire nodded.
"Um, how did you meet Haru?" Honoka was wondering how both Haru and Sumire met each other. Not only her, but every girl in this place was also curious about Haru's romantic life.
"Well, we met by chance when he visited my clinic before, then we started to interact with each other, and then we dated," Sumire said.
"Clinic? Are you a doctor?" Shizuku asked.
"Yes, I'm a doctor." Sumire nodded and didn't hide the truth.
Everyone talked together with Sumire since they were curious and they had to admit that Sumire was interesting to talk about, especially when she had a lot of interesting knowledge, but there was one question that they wanted to ask, and that was the age difference between Haru and Sumire, but they knew that it was very impolite to talk about the matter of age to a woman, so they didn't say anything.
But Leo was quite tactless and whispered to Haru to ask about Sumire's age. "Haru, how old is your girlfriend?"
"........" Haru and Tatsuya.
"Does it matter? What matters the most is that I love her," Haru said without hesitation.
Tatsuya nodded and also supported Haru, especially when he knew that Haru had already a girlfriend and didn't chase after his little sister.
"......." Leo somehow understood why Haru had a girlfriend, and somehow he didn't now.
While Haru, Tatsuya, and Leo were talking to each other, Erika couldn't help but become quite mischievous and asked a quite perverted question, "Um, Muroto-san, since you're a doctor, then have you played a doctor play with him?"
"........"
"Yes." Sumire nodded calmly.
"......"
Everyone was startled when they heard Erika's question, but they were even more dumbfounded when they heard Sumire's answer.
"Well, your name is Erika, right?" Sumire looked at Erika and said, "If you like Haru, then you can go for him."
"Eh?" Not only Erika, but everyone was dumbfounded.
"I've never tied him up, and I'm satisfied with our relationship, and as long as you can accept that he might go after another girl, then you can go since he's a good partner," Sumire said, without hesitation, after all, she could see that those girls here had some affection toward Haru.
"Wh - What are you talking about, Muroto-san?!" Erika's face was burning at that moment and felt that she was an open book in front of Sumire, but it was just her heart was beating very fast at this moment since she had never thought that she would expect that Sumire would just agree like that.
"...." Miyuki.
"Cough! Cough! Right, Tatsuya, I have the last gift for you, and you should be thankful to your sister that she has requested me to do this performance," Haru suddenly said.
"Performance?" Tatsuya was confused, but then he was dumbfounded when he saw Haru take off his glasses. Not only Tatsuya, but Leo was also dumbfounded since both of them had never expected that Haru would be Kasugano Haruka, and the glasses that Haru wore were a disguise.
Haru then walked toward the piano in the cafe and said, "Can I borrow it for a while?"
"Ah, ye - yes!" The owner of the cafe was also dumbfounded when Haru suddenly appeared in his cafe!
Haru's identity was very famous since he was the most popular singer in the world at that moment, so no one would expect that he would come to do a performance in this small cafe.
Sumire looked at Miyuki who was Haru's niece and couldn't help but feel a bit amused for some reason. She took out her phone so Maya could also watch Haru's performance too.
Haru sat down on the piano then said, "I have made this song recently based on what Miyuki wants to tell you so enjoy it." He didn't play immediately but brewed his emotions to play this song.
No one also said a word since they wanted to hear what kind of song that Haru would sing.
"Is There Still Anything That Love Can Do?"
Haru started to play the soothing piano melody and instantly caught everyone's attention easily. His voice had such magic and it could make everyone attracted to him immediately.
"Born with nothing in my hands
I stumble upon this place
Falling through a crack in time
I was writhing in pain."
Tatsuya raised his eyebrow and somehow those lyrics hit his heart very hard, recalling how his life was.
Miyuki somehow couldn't stop her tears, she didn't expect Haru to describe her brother's experience very well and the lyrics, and she couldn't help but remember her brother's life which made her sad.
But...
"Courage and the strength of hope
The magical bond we share
We grow up only to forget
How do we ever use them here?"
The more they listened the more they could feel that their emotions were played by Haru, they could feel that it was like he was played by him, but they didn't hate it since this song was so beautiful, especially... this part.
"I need to know if there's still anything that love can do
I need to know if there's still anything that I can do."
Miyuki and Tatsuya looked at each other and couldn't help but snuggle at each other.
"You are the one who found my courage and I knew
I want to pay it back and spend it all on you
You gave me the love we share, it's all because of you
You are the reason, let me share this love with you."
Miyuki and Tatsuya somehow recalled how their lives together, how they supported each other until now, and how they felt that it was hard and how wonderful it was when they were together. It was because they were together that they could stand until now.
As for the girls, they couldn't take their eyes away from him at that moment.
As for Leo and the owner, even though they were men, they understood why a lot of girls were in love with him.
As for Sumire and Maya, they thought that they were going to ask him to sing this song tonight since it was so wonderful.
"I need to know if there's still anything that love can do?
I need to know if there's still anything that I can do?"
Haru ended the song and he hoped that it was enough to compensate Tatsuya for the ability that he had stolen before, though, at the same time, since he was his nephew, he might return his ability after he learned it well later.
