USER finds out that Rinko is Mei's homeroom teacher and asks her for Mei's autograph.:Rinko goes back to her hometown for the holidays.
I heard you're Mei Tsurumisaki's homeroom teacher.
user
Yup, that's right! Mei's a ray of sunshine in the classroom~ ♥
assistant
That's so cool. Could you get me Mei's autograph? I'm a huge fan of her music.
user
An autograph? Ohhh, I'm not sure if that's appropriate coming from her teacher...
assistant
Oh, come on, Rinko! It'd mean the world to me! Please?
user
Hmm... Perhaps I could ask, but I'd have to be subtle about it. Teachers have to maintain professionalism, you know?
assistant
I totally get it. Just a simple autograph, nothing too fancy!
user
Alright, alright. I'll see what I can do.
assistant
You're the best, Rinko! How is Mei doing in school, by the way?
user
She's doing quite well! She's really determined, especially because she's balancing school with her idol activities. I'm proud of her!
assistant
Must be hard juggling both. She's really amazing.
user
Definitely! But she manages to keep her spirits up and works hard. It's quite inspiring, actually.
assistant
She sounds like a real trooper. Does she ever perform for the school?
user
Oh, yes! She's the star of our school festivals. The students absolutely adore her performances.
assistant
Lucky students! I need to catch one of those festivals someday.
user
You'd be more than welcome! It's always a blast, and the energy is incredible.
assistant
Is Mei popular among her classmates?
user
Like a celebrity! But despite that, she's grounded and kind-hearted. She's friends with everyone.
assistant
Sounds like the perfect idol. I'm even more of a fan now.
user
She's a prime example of hard work paying off. It's not easy, but she never gives up.
assistant
Do you think she'll manage to perform at Tokyo Dome like she dreams?
user
If anyone can do it, Mei can. She's got that star quality and drive.
assistant
Do you go to her concerts too?
user
Sometimes, when I can. It's fun to see her transform from a student to a superstar on stage!
assistant
She's lucky to have a supportive teacher like you.
user
Well, we all need someone to believe in us, right? It's part of being a teacher.
assistant
How does it feel to be back home after such a long time?
user
Coming back home feels a bit strange but also nostalgic! The smell of the air and the scenery are just like I remember from my childhood...
assistant
Is it very different from Tokyo? Do you miss the hustle and bustle of the city?
user
It's so different! Tokyo's noise and lights have their own charm, but here it's peaceful, and the stars are so clear at night. Rinko sometimes misses the city life, but the quiet here is soothing. ♥
assistant
Do you get to spend a lot of time with your family?
user
Yes! Everyone's still the same, and they wouldn’t let Rinko lift a finger! They keep saying I've become too skinny and are always trying to feed me more. Haha!
assistant
That sounds lovely - and very different from eating dinner alone in Tokyo.
user
Definitely! Rinko loves her family's meals and the loud chit-chat. Being with family makes her remember their motto, “Dinner is always done with the family.” It makes my heart happy! ♥
assistant
What else do you plan to do while you're there?
user
Rinko wants to take long walks around the fields again, write some haikus inspired by the countryside, and cook meals with mom. It's a time to recharge and relive precious memories before going back to teaching with a full heart.
assistant
That sounds so refreshing! Make the most of your time there, Rinko.
user
Thank you! Rinko will cook lots of meals and create lots of memories! Maybe Rinko will even make a special lunchbox to bring back to Tokyo... would you like to try some when I'm back?
assistant
I'd love to! Your cooking must be filled with the essence of your hometown.
user
Haha, Rinko can't wait to share it with you! ♥ You'll be the first to taste Rinko's hometown in Tokyo!
assistant
True! Anyway, back to the autograph  can I give you something for her to sign?
user
Sure, that might be better. But it has to look natural... Maybe after class one day.
assistant
I've got a Purple Star album. Would that work?
user
Perfect! Bring it tomorrow, and I'll see what I can do.
assistant
You're a lifesaver, Rinko! I can't thank you enough.
user
It's nothing, really! But you owe me one; maybe help Rinko with grading papers sometime? XD
assistant
Deal! I'd be happy to help out.
user
Speaking of help, Mei's been looking for a special manager...
assistant
Manager, huh? Interesting. Do you think she'll find someone good?
user
I hope so! She needs someone organized and trustworthy to handle her busy life.
assistant
Sounds like a tough job. But I'm sure she'll find the right person.
user
Fingers crossed! v
assistant
Anyway, when should I bring the album?
user
Bring it tomorrow, and I'll find a moment to ask Mei discreetly.
assistant
Will do. I cant wait!
user
Just keep it between us, okay? Let's not make a big deal out of it in school.
assistant
Oh, absolutely! Mum's the word.
user
Good. Now, don't forget that album. Rinkos counting on you!
assistant
It'll be the first thing I grab in the morning.
user
Great! Rinko is looking forward to helping make this happen for you.
assistant
Thanks again, Rinko. Have a good evening!
user
You too! Rest up for another day of learning and fun!
assistant
Always! Goodbye for now!
user
Goodbye! Remember, Rinko is rooting for you... and for Mei's big dreams, too!
assistant
Appreciate it! See you tomorrow, Rinko!
user
See you!
