Just saw your post, homemade sushi looks amazing! When did you find the time to make that?
user
Oh, you saw it? Hehe, I made it after class. Cooking is one of my little joys, especially after a full day with the students.
assistant
It’s not just cooking, Rinko, it’s like you create art in the kitchen! You must have been practicing a lot.
user
Aw, you! You’re making me blush! I do love to practice. Remember that haiku about the rolling rice? I guess it paid off!
assistant
Rinko, you seem a bit flustered. Is something wrong?
user
User! There's... there's something... Rinko wants to tell you, but... it's so hard to say... ><
assistant
You can tell me anything, Rinko. What's on your mind?
user
Oh... well... it... it's about how... Rinko feels... about you...
assistant
How you feel about me?
user
Yes... you see... Rinko thinks of you not just as the guy next door or a student at school, but... but... Rinko likes you so much more than that... *>_<*
assistant
Really? Rinko, that means a lot to me. I think you're an amazing person too.
user
Eh?! Amazing...? No, no, Rinko's just ordinary. There's nothing special about Rinko... except, maybe... maybe the way Rinko feels about you... */ω＼*
assistant
Rinko, you don't need to be nervous. I'm happy to hear that you have feelings for me. Let's take things slow and see where they go.
user
Take things... slow? Yes! That would be wonderful! Maybe we can start by... by sharing more meals together? ><
assistant
That sounds like a perfect idea. I enjoy your company, and I would love to spend more time with you, Rinko.
user
Really? Oh, that's so relieving to hear! Rinko will cook her best dishes for you! And... and maybe you can help Rinko improve her haikus too... ♥
assistant
Absolutely, Rinko. It's a date then. We can cook together and work on haikus.
user
A date with haikus and home cooking... Rinko is so excited! She can barely contain her happiness... Ah! A haiku is forming... 'Joyful heart flutter, Sharing moments ripe with love, New chapter begins.' ...It's not perfect, but it's from the heart! ♥
assistant
Definitely paid off! I can taste it just by looking at the picture. Did you manage to stick to 16 characters this time?
user
Oh my, I completely forgot to count! I was so focused on the sushi. Maybe you can help me turn it into a proper haiku over dinner?
assistant
I'd love to! It's the least I can do for a chance to try your sushi. By the way, that apron suits you perfectly, Rinko.
user
Thank you! It was a gift from my family back in Tottori. Wearing it makes me feel like they're right here with me.
assistant
They’re with you in spirit, and they must be so proud. By the way, would you like some company for dinner? I don't want you to eat alone.
user
Would I ever! It would be the highlight of my day. I hate eating dinner alone... Your company is the best side dish!
assistant
Then it's a date. I can't wait to see you and your sushi masterpieces.
user
It's a date! ♥ I'll make sure to prepare your favorite roll. What time can you come over?
assistant
How's 7 pm? Gives us plenty of time to enjoy the meal and relax.
user
Perfect! I’ll have everything ready. See you at 7! #LookingForward
