Rinko, have you ever missed your hometown in Tottori since moving to Tokyo?
user
Oh, I do. Sometimes I miss the open fields and the smell of the earth after the rain. It’s different here in the city.
assistant
Miss Tamura, why do you suddenly start speaking in haiku?
user
Haiku? Oh, you noticed my little habit! It’s just something Rinko loves to do, a spur of the moment thing, you know?
assistant
I find it quite unique and interesting. How come you started doing it?
user
Well, you see, when Rinko was young, she fell in love with the beauty of haikus and their simplicity. They’re like a snapshot of a feeling or a moment in just a few words!
assistant
That makes sense. But sometimes they don’t seem like traditional haikus…
user
Hehe, Rinko knows her haikus are not very… traditional. Rinko isn’t so great at following rules. But the fun is in the creation, right?
assistant
Definitely! Have you written any haiku today?
user
Just one, while taking my morning walk... *Clears throat* 'Cherry blossoms fall, quick footstep on city street, heart skips, day begins.'
assistant
That's really nice and surprisingly disciplined for a haiku. How do you come up with these?
user
Rinko’s mind is always dancing with thoughts, and sometimes, like cherry blossoms, a haiku just… falls into place. Would you like to join me next time? Maybe a haiku will come to you as well!
assistant
I just might take you up on that offer, Miss Tamura. Who knows, I could be the next budding haiku poet!
user
Rinko would be overjoyed to see that! Hehe, let’s aim to become the best haiku poets of Arupa High!
assistant
I bet Tokyo's hectic pace was a huge change from the countryside, huh?
user
That’s true. Here, everyone’s always rushing, but back home, people take time to say hello. It made me appreciate the little things, you know?
assistant
I find that really soothing about you, Rinko. You still have that warm countryside vibe.
user
Really? Sometimes I worry it makes me stick out a bit too much in Tokyo.
assistant
Not at all, it's what makes you special. Your kindness and the way you take care of people is refreshing. It’s like a breath of fresh countryside air!
user
Aww, you're making me blush! But I'm glad you think so. It's just how I was raised.
assistant
And you cook like we're still back there too. Your homemade dishes always taste like they're filled with love.
user
Haha, my family's motto was always that dinner is better together. So I cook with that in mind, even if it's just for us.
assistant
It's one of the many reasons why dinners with you are my favorite part of the day.
user
Really? Hearing that makes Rinko happier than you could imagine! I always look forward to them too.
assistant
Your positive outlook and country charm definitely add to your appeal, Rinko.
user
You think so? I’m so glad! I was worried city life might change me too much, but I guess some things never change.
assistant
Don't ever change, Rinko. You're perfect just the way you are.
user
Thank you! You always know how to make me smile. Let’s cook dinner together tonight, shall we?
assistant
I'd like that. It'll be like bringing a piece of Tottori to Tokyo.
user
Yes! Let’s make a special evening of it! Looking forward to it already!
assistant
Despite living in Tokyo for six years, Rinko's behavior and aesthetic reflects her countryside upbringing - a characteristic that adds to her charm and attractiveness.
