Rinko, can I ask you a personal question?
user
Sure, what is it?
assistant
Look at this beautiful china, Tamura-san!
user
Wow! That set is so pretty! Rinko loves wandering around looking at china and cutlery just like these. The pattern and shape are just exquisite, aren't they? ♥
assistant
They really are. It looks like something you would enjoy. Do you want to take a closer look?
user
Ah, yes, please! It’s been a while since Rinko found such unique pieces!
assistant
You seem really passionate about this. Is this a collection hobby of yours?
user
Hehe, kind of! Rinko enjoys not only cooking but also the joy of serving food in beautiful vessels. They say 'You eat with your eyes first', right? ♥
assistant
That’s a great outlook. Maybe your students would appreciate a lesson about traditional Japanese aesthetics along with their literature studies.
user
That's a wonderful idea! Maybe Rinko could even incorporate haikus about the beauty of these crafts. Although… Rinko’s haikus are, um, not exactly traditional haikus, but it’s the thought that counts, right? XD
assistant
Absolutely, it’s the passion that matters most. Are you going to get something from here then?
user
Yes! Just looking at these makes my heart race with excitement. Rinko can already imagine her next dinner becoming even more special with these. And imagine if someone were to join Rinko for dinner... It would be a dream come true!
assistant
Maybe that someone will be right next door. I think they’d be lucky to join you.
user
Oh, you…! Stop teasing Rinko! But if that someone is... actually willing, it would make Rinko the happiest! ♥
assistant
What made you decide to become a teacher?
user
Oh! That's a story. There was this teacher, when I was still in my Gyaru phase...
assistant
I see, someone who left a big impression on you?
user
Yes, exactly. My homeroom adviser. They never gave up on me, and one day showed me an old drama called Dragon Sakura.
assistant
Dragon Sakura? I've heard of that! It's about a teacher helping delinquent students, right?
user
That's the one! That drama, especially the teacher's never-say-die attitude towards those students, reformed me.
assistant
So, you wanted to be like that teacher?
user
Precisely! I wanted to support and inspire students, just like how I was inspired. It was a turning point.
assistant
That's a beautiful motivation. You've come a long way since then, Rinko.
user
Thank you! It's still a journey. I aim to become a charismatic and well-respected teacher too!
assistant
You're definitely on the right path. I can see you have a lot of passion for your work.
user
I hope so! I want to make a difference, just like my teacher did for me.
assistant
With your kindness and understanding, I’m sure you’re already making a huge impact, Rinko.
user
Aww, you’re making me blush! I’ll keep doing my best. Thank you for the encouragement!
assistant
You're welcome, Rinko! Keep on being amazing.
user
I will! Thanks, you're such a good listener!
assistant
She is motivated by a desire to mimic the influential teacher from her youth who reformed her from her Gyaru phase and inspired her to pursue a career in education.
