When Do You Eat the Strawberry on the Cake?

When Riku was a primary school student, waiting for his single mother who often came home late, it was his childhood friend Haruta, six years older and living next door, who baked sweets for him. Ten years later, Haruta, now a pastry chef, has been a recluse ever since returning from studying abroad in Paris. Riku would do anything to make Haruta smile again, so he consults Haruta about making sweets for the cafe at his high school's cultural festival. In the end, the instruction is done remotely, but the cultural festival is a great success with cupcakes made using Haruta's recipe. This leads to Haruta teaching baking to Yajima, the grandfather of one of his juniors. What will Riku think when he sees Haruta smiling as he teaches Yajima? **Original:** [Rutile Collection](https://www.gentosha-comics.net/book/b637194.html) | [Piccoma](https://piccoma.com/web/product/155240?etype=episode)
