Chikage's birthday 2021

A treasure made together

[Cafe]

Chi: It took some courage to enter this cafe because of how fancy it looked, but it's a lovely place.

Tak: It's my first time here too, my heart was pounding a bit.

Tak: But I wanted to celebrate your birthday at a cafe with tasty cakes, Gun-chan!

Chi: Thank you. We could've just spent some time together on my birthday, though.

Tak: Here, take a look! So many tasty-looking cake pictures! Which should I get?

Chi: You're right, they all look great.

Tak: (Ah! The text on the margin says "customers get a free chocolate plate with a message on their birthday"!)

Chi: So many varieties to pick from that it's hard to decide. Takashima-san, which one are you going to get?

Tak: (Looks like Gun-chan hasn't noticed the birthday freebie.)

Tak: (That's it! I'll pretend to go to the toilet and secretly order a chocolate plate!)

Cafe waitress: Thank you for waiting. Here's your cake set.

Chi: Thank you very much... Wait, is this...

Tak: Ehehe, a message from me. I had them put it in in secret!

Chi: Takashima-san...

Chi: "Happy birthday" "Be my friend forever" "Now and always" "I love you!"

Tak: I had so much to say, I filled the whole plate with letters.

Chi: Thank you so much for such a wonderful celebration. It'd be such a waste to eat it that I can't.

Tak: How about we take a photo together with this plate to commemorate the moment?

Chi: Oh, that's good.

Tak: I'll take a selfie, so come closer! Here, hug!

Tak: Okay, I'm taking it! 3, 2, 1... Gun-chan, happy birthday!

Chi: Heehee, what a wonderful picture. One more treasure into my collection.
