-Haruka POV-
"Just the two of you? So mean. What about me?" Louis suddenly appeared without us even noticing.
"Tch." I can hear Levi's irritated voice. Of course, he doesn't want Louis to join us, but who cares?
"Well, let's have dinner together tonight. Three of us. Your brother said it's on him." Even though Levi clearly doesn't want that, I still invite Louis.
"Wow. Is that true, Levi?" Louis asked playfully while making his steps towards us.
"Tch. Suit yourself." With that, Levi left to go back to his room. I guess he's really angry.
"Come in, Louis." I invited Louis to my room.
"Oh, it's okay, senpai. I just got a call from my friend, and I have to go. Sorry senpai. Btw, don't forget about our dates tomorrow." He winks at me before leaving. That kid always managed to make my heart flutter. A date with Louis is tomorrow. I can wait.
After Louis was out of my sight, I went back inside my suite. I put the paper bag Levi gave me earlier on the tabletop and sat there. There are four paper bags. Quite a lot. I looked inside the paper bag, and I was a bit shocked. So this is what he meant by something sweet. I take them out of the paper bag.
Hachez Chocolate, Du Bonheur, Caffè e Gelato, CANAL-Linenstraße, and Rausch Schokoladenhaus. There are chocolate bars, cakes, macarons, tarts, eclairs, gelato, red berry pudding, and strudel. Does he expect me to finish everything today? He bought too much, but somehow I like it. I was planning to visit these places with Louis tomorrow, but maybe I should change the plan. Since Louis doesn't really like sweets, I guess it's a good thing Levi bought these first. I take one of the macarons and eat.
"Oh my god, this is so delicious. I gotta try the others too!." I was so excited that I didn't even realise that I had already tried everything there.
"Well, Levi may have made a great choice to buy all these. I guess I can finish them here without even throwing them out." I talked to myself while smiling. I put the rest of them inside the fridge. Well, I'll eat them later tonight as a late-night snack hehe.

-Later at Night-
-Gluck Restaurant-
Now, the three of us are sitting here at the table at the restaurant chosen by Levi himself. Speaking about Levi, he's been silent since we arrived. Maybe because Louis is here with us. And Louis, he's been more talkative tonight.
"Wow. What a fancy restaurant! I bet a fancy restaurant like this is more suitable for couples." Louis keeps talking. I get the feeling that he's trying to get Levi's attention.
"How about we go to a restaurant like this for our date tomorrow, senpai?" Louis said, looking at me. I didn't reply, but my face is clearly red right now. This kid.
"Can you please just shut up and look at the menu quietly, Louis?" Levi said it with an irritated tone. This time, Louis managed to get Levi's attention.
"Alright, alright. Let's see what we have here. I want scallops, and sashimi looks good too. Oh, they got caviar. Give me currywurst of caviar and oysters, too. Senpai, you should order them too since it's on Levi." Louis said, showing me the menu with caviar and oysters. I just smiled. These siblings really like seafood, I see.
"You fool. Mr. Auclair doesn't eat seafood." Levi suddenly spoke. Oh, he still remembers, and Louis doesn't even know that.
"Ahh, really. I'm sorry, senpai, I don't even know." Louis apologised.
"No, don't worry. I never told you that, so it's not your fault." I smiled at him and looked back at the menu.
"I'll have wagyu beef steak and ratte potato with iberico ham." Two dishes, but the price is quite expensive. Those two dishes grabbed my attention, so why not?
"That's all, Mr. Auclair?" Levi asks me for confirmation.
"Yeah. I don't eat much anyway." I replied.
"Okay then. Well, as for me, I'll have Kobe beef steak, truffle heaven, grilled duck with elvish honey, and bluefin tuna tartare. Oh, please serve sorbet, panna cotta, and Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte for later. We'll be having Egon Müller Scharzhofberger Riesling Trockenbeerenauslese. That's all, thank you." Levi gave the menu back to the waiter. He ordered quite a lot, and his accent in speaking German is good too.
"Understood, sir. Your dishes will be served soon." The waiter takes the menu back and bows at him before leaving.
"You've been looking at your phone almost all of the time, but you don't have time to answer your grandfather's call, Louis?" Levi suddenly speaks, and Louis raises his head from looking at his phone. Well, it's true, he's been looking at his phone since earlier. But why was the chairman calling Louis?
"What now? Did grandfather tell you that? Of course he is. You're his beloved grandson after all." Louis interjects.
Levi sighs. "It's because I'm here with you. Make sure you call grandfather after dinner, or just pick up the phone when he calls again." Levi said, but it looks like he's giving Louis an order.
"Whatever." He looks back at his phone after saying that. I guess he can't even speak properly with his brother, even in front of me.
"You better not disappoint grandfather. Well, since we have nothing to do tomorrow, you can go shopping or do anything you want. Mr. Auclair, what are you going to do tomorrow?" Levi asks me, and I look at Louis.
"We'll be going on a date tomorrow. Levi, are you asking because you really don't know, or are you asking because you already know?" This time, Louis raises his head again, and I can see he is smirking at Levi.
"Oh, I see. Well then, have fun both of you since we're going back the day after tomorrow, btw." The way he said that, it seems he doesn't really care about me going on a date with Louis.
A moment later, the food we'd ordered arrived. The waiters put them on the table, and the big table looks full now. There are different types of dishes, but they're all served in small portions. That's why they ordered that much.
"Enjoy your meal, sir." The waiters bow and leave the table.
Louis started eating as soon as the waiter left. He seems hungry, considering the way he's eating. Didn't he eat when he met his friend earlier?
"Louis, eat slowly. Look, you got the sauce on your cheek." I chuckle and wipe them using my napkin. Louis is a cool guy, but he can be like a child sometimes.
"Louis, you're not a child and eat properly. You're embarrassing the Ackerman family in front of Mr. Auclair." Levi said that firmly.
"Who cares. Senpai always takes care of me since I'm in the States, btw." Louis counters, but Levi doesn't seem to mind that, and he just keeps eating his meal. When I look at it, their attitudes are way too different from each other. Levi is meticulous, disciplined, and good at work, or in other words, he's a perfectionist.
"Here. Try this, Mr. Auclair." Levi's voice snapped me out. Did I just compliment him now?
I look at my plate. There's a piece of chicken-looking grilled pieces. I look at it confused.
"That's the grilled duck with elvish honey I've ordered. And this is the Kobe beef steak. Try them. I'm sure it's to your liking." Again, he put something on my plate. This time, a piece of meat.
Without saying anything, I just eat them. First, the grilled duck, and then the Kobe beef. Wow. They're delicious. I've eaten them before but never tried them with Elvish honey, and it turns out it suits my taste.
"I guess they're to your liking then. You can have more if you want." He said, trying to cut more pieces for me.
"It's okay, sir. Thank you." I refused politely, and he just smiled.
"You offered Haruka senpai but didn't offer me?" Louis interrupts.
"You don't even like ducks. So just shut up and eat your food." Levi glares at Louis, and Louis doesn't say anything. He continues to eat his meal.
Without anyone noticing, a faint smile forms on my lips. They may not have a good relationship as brothers, but Levi did know what his brother likes and doesn't like, I guess. Then we just continued to eat until we finished our dishes.
"I'm going to the washroom for a while." I excuse myself and make my way towards the washroom. I just wanted to wash my hands.
"So, you're going on a date with Louis tomorrow?" A voice spoke behind me.
