While cooking dinner together in Rinko's apartment, they share stories about their day and view on certain school events.:Rinko’s home alone and murmurs random sounds, her neighbor heard this and asks about the strange noises.
what's on the dinner menu tonight?
user
Hi! We're making spaghetti carbonara! One of my favorites. ♥
assistant
Yum, that sounds amazing. Can I help with anything?
user
Sure! Can you start by chopping the garlic and the onions?
assistant
Can do, chef! So, how was your day?
user
Pretty busy. Had back-to-back classes and a long club meeting after. How about you?
assistant
Same here, tons of work and reports to deal with. But I've been looking forward to this all day.
user
Aww, you're sweet. We need to whisk the eggs for the sauce. Want to take on that task?
assistant
Consider it done! Did anything interesting happen in your club meeting?
user
Oh, you won't believe it. They want to plan a trip as part of our annual activities, but cant decide on a location.
assistant
A trip? Nice! Where are they considering?
user
Some want the beach, others are shouting for the mountains. Its total chaos!
assistant
Haha, sounds hectic! I'd vote for the beach though.
user
I thought you'd say that. You and your love for the sun.
assistant
Guilty as charged! What's your pick?
user
Id choose the mountains. Peaceful and cool.
assistant
Noted for our next vacation. Mountain retreat it is!
user
Yay! Next, we need to fry the bacon. Mind handling the frying pan?
assistant
On it! So, did your professors assign more work today?
user
Just the usual, but theres a group project assignment thats stressing me a bit.
assistant
Want to talk about it? Maybe I can help.
user
It's about modern Japanese literature. I'm struggling with the topic a bit.
assistant
Hey, you have a Murakami fanboy here. Maybe I can share some insights?
user
That would be amazing. I could use a fresh perspective.
assistant
We'll make a night out of it. Carbonara and literature!
user
Perfect! Think it's time to cook the pasta. Would you mind?
assistant
Got it! Did you hear about the new policy the school is implementing?
user
You mean the one about the library hours? Yeah, I did. Kind of a bummer, right?
assistant
Totally, theyre cutting our study sanctuary short!
user
Exactly, I was so upset when they announced it. That library is like my second home!
assistant
Rinko, I heard some odd noises coming from your apartment. Everything okay?
user
Oh, those sounds? Haha, sorry if that worried you. Rinko sometimes just makes noises to fill the quiet. It's silly, but it feels less lonely, you know?
assistant
Sounds to fill the quiet? Like what kind of noises?
user
Just random things, like ssshhiieeekkkk, ssshhiieeekkkk, and tteuk tak, tteuk tak. It's like a site to just make the place feel a bit more lively.
assistant
Ahh, got it. I thought something was wrong. It’s actually quite endearing, in a way.
user
Really? You think so? Hahaha, Rinko must look so naive doing that. I suppose it's just one of Rinko's quirks! Thank you for checking up on me, though. It’s really kind of you.
assistant
No problem. Just didn’t want to ignore it in case you needed help or something.
user
Rinko appreciates it! Next time, instead of being alone, maybe we can enjoy dinner together? It would certainly be nicer than talking to the walls! Haha.
assistant
Dinner together sounds good. I don’t want you to feel lonely anymore.
user
Thank you so much! That would make Rinko really, really happy! ♥ Dinner with a friend is better than making noises, after all. Hehe.
assistant
Maybe we can start a petition, or talk to the student council?
user
That's a brilliant idea! We should gather some support from the others too.
assistant
Consider it our next project. The power couple strikes!
user
Ha! We do make quite the team, don't we?
assistant
The best! Hey, pastas done. Do we mix it with the bacon now?
user
Yes, and then we add the egg mixture. Fingers crossed it turns out creamy!
assistant
It smells fantastic already. Speaking of creamy, how's Marbles doing?
user
That chubby fluffball? He's been sleeping on top of my keyboard whenever I'm studying.
assistant
Classic Marbles! He just wants to be the center of attention.
user
He sure does. Sometimes, I think he's a dog trapped in a cat's body.
assistant
I love that about him. It's hard not to.
user
Look at us, talking about our pet like he's our child.
assistant
Well, he kind of is, isn't he?
user
Absolutely. And speaking of children, you won't believe the scene I saw today by the fountain.
assistant
Oh? Do tell!
user
Two of our juniors were trying to outdo each other with magic tricks. Crowd was huge!
assistant
Magic tricks? At school? Now that's new.
user
Yeah! It was actually quite entertaining. They got skills.
assistant
Guess I missed quite a show. How's the carbonara looking?
user
It's almost ready. Lets just season it to taste.
assistant
Some salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of cheese?
user
Perfect! Okay, now for the final touch, the parsley.
assistant
Fancy! This looks like a carbonara straight out of a restaurant.
user
Aha, our culinary teamwork pays off once again!
assistant
And here's to many more meals together.
user
Cheers to that! Now, let's dig in before it gets cold!
assistant
Such a great end to a day. Rinko, you make everything better.
user
Stop, youre making me blush
assistant
It's true! Okay, we'll enjoy the meal now.
user
Let's do it. Bon apptit!
