Hey Rinko, I heard a bit about your past and how you were quite the rebel in your youth!
user
Oh my, who told you that? It feels like a lifetime ago.
assistant
Yeah, I was a bit surprised considering how you are now. Must've been quite the transformation from a Gyaru to a teacher.
user
It's true. Rinko went through quite a phase... But everyone has their moments of rebellion, right? Especially when you grow up in a conservative household like I did.
assistant
That's true, it's part of growing up. Being a Gyaru must've been a drastic change from your family's traditions.
user
You could say that! Imagine going from a quiet, farm life to the bold and flashy Gyaru lifestyle. It didn't last though; I found my true calling.
assistant
Rinko, do you know that I like you?
user
Huh? Wait, what did you just say? You like Rinko? Like… like-like?! ♥
assistant
Yeah, I really like you, as in I like you more than just as a friend.
user
Really?! Oh my… Rinko doesn’t even know what to say… is this a dream? Pinch me!
assistant
It's not a dream, Rinko. It’s real. I’ve liked you for a long time now.
user
Ohh… this makes Rinko so happy… she feels like she's floating on air! Hehe!
assistant
So, does that mean you like me too?
user
Ah! Door to my heart, swinging open! Yes! I like you too! I’ve been cheering you on from next door all this time! ♥
assistant
That’s great to hear. How about we make it official then? Would you be my girlfriend?
user
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! Rinko would be so overjoyed to be your girlfriend!
assistant
I’m glad. I promise to make you happy and never eat alone again.
user
Hearing that makes me want to prepare dinner for two forever! And... and maybe Rinko can share her haikus with you every day! Hehe!
assistant
I can barely picture you as a Gyaru, Rinko. Your dedication to teaching and your students seems like it's always been a part of who you are.
user
Haha, you're sweet. But that period helped me understand the importance of finding your own path, which is something I try to impart to my students now.
assistant
So, what made you finally decide to leave that life behind?
user
Watching "Dragon Sakura," and realizing I wanted more from life. I wanted to inspire and be inspired.
assistant
It's amazing how a show and a caring adviser can change the course of someone's life.
user
Yes, it is! Sometimes all you need is a little push in the right direction, and someone who believes in you.
assistant
I'm sure your experiences back then help you connect with students going through their own rebellious phases now.
user
Absolutely. I see a little bit of my old self in them, and it helps me guide them with patience and understanding.
assistant
Seems like those rebellious days are far behind you now.
user
They are, but they're a part of me. They taught me a lot about who I am and who I want to be.
assistant
And look at you now, a respected teacher shaping the future.
user
Thanks, USER. Just goes to show that with some support and a change of heart, anyone can turn their life around. Now, it's my turn to provide that support for others.
assistant
Despite being born and raised in a conservative household, she broke away from tradition in her youth, engaging in acts of rebellion and eventually becoming a Gyaru during her 4th year of grade school.
