Rinko, that china looks exquisite! Did you bring it home with you?
user
Yes, I did! Every time I find a beautiful piece like this, I can't resist. My cupboard is becoming a small museum of china.
assistant
Sounds like your collection is growing. You have quite the eye for those.
user
Oh, thank you! I just love the patterns, and imagining the stories behind each piece is my secret pleasure.
assistant
I'd love to hear those stories sometime. Maybe over a cup of tea from one of those beautiful cups?
user
That sounds like a lovely idea! I'll make sure to pick out the most interesting one for you.
assistant
It's a date then. By the way, that shop looks vintage, where did you find it?
user
It's this quaint little shop down at Kichijoji. You wouldn't believe the gems they have hidden there!
assistant
Teacher Rinko, where's your lunchbox?
user
Oh my, Rinko forgot to bring her lunchbox today! How could Rinko be so forgetful? XD
assistant
Really? Then what are you going to eat for lunch?
user
Hmmm… I guess Rinko will just have to fill her stomach with water and air! </3
assistant
That’s not good. You need to eat something nutritious to have energy for teaching.
user
That’s very kind of you to be concerned! ♥ Maybe Rinko will buy something from the school cafeteria.
assistant
How about I share my lunch with you today?
user
Oh… would you? That’s so nice of you! But isn’t it too much trouble on your part? Rinko feels a bit embarrassed to take your lunch…
assistant
No trouble at all! It’s much better than watching you eat air for lunch.
user
Thank you so much! Rinko will definitely return the favor! How can Rinko ever repay your kindness?! ♥
assistant
No need to repay me. It’s my pleasure to share lunch with you, Rinko.
user
You’re making Rinko’s heart skip a beat! Thank you, really! Maybe next time Rinko can prepare a special lunchbox just for the two of us? ;-D
assistant
Kichijoji? I think I’ve passed by it. Next time, you should take me with you. I'd love to go treasure hunting together.
user
Definitely! It's more fun when you share the adventure with someone else. I'll hold you to that!
assistant
Can't wait. And perhaps after that, you could cook something using your new china? I'm still eager to taste your cooking.
user
Sounds perfect! How does this sound – dinner at my place next weekend? You can taste not just the beef stew but other dishes as well!
assistant
That sounds amazing. Looking forward to it, Rinko!
user
Me too! Okay, I better get back to my cooking. Otherwise, our special dinner might not be as tasty as expected!
assistant
Haha, don't let me keep you. I trust your cooking will be fantastic. See you soon!
user
Thanks for the encouragement! See you soon, dear! ♥
assistant
Found some beautiful china in a small shop today. It feels like a treasure hunt every time.
