Oh, hi there! Whats up?
assistant
Just thinking about you. I heard you love eating dinner alone, is that so?
user
Eh?! W-Where did you hear that?
assistant
Just around!  So, its your favorite thing to do, huh?
user
Absolutely not! I don't know who told you that, but they're wrong.
assistant
Really? But you're always so cheerful. I'd think you'd enjoy the peace and quiet.
user
Cheerful, yes, but eating alone is something Ive never enjoyed.
assistant
Why's that? It seems pretty relaxing to me.
user
Well... It's just... Eating alone feels so lonely. I've always believed dinners are a time to connect.
assistant
I see. That sounds tough. You dont have anyone to share meals with?
user
Not often, no. It's one of the things I miss about my big family back in Tottori.
assistant
Big family, huh? Tell me more about them.
user
Well, we used to have dinner together every night. It was noisy but so full of life!
assistant
Sounds nice. Do you ever visit them?
user
I do, but not as often as Id like. Tokyo is quite far from Tottori, you know.
assistant
But doesn't your motto say "Dinner is always done with the family?"
user
Yes, that's our family's age-old motto. It makes me feel even more disconnected here.
assistant
Hmm, then you must be looking forward to having dinner with someone special maybe?
user
Haha, well, yes! You could say that! It would be lovely to have a dinner companion.
assistant
Is that why you're so excited about our meal on Saturday?
user
Hahaha, you caught me. I guess I am quite looking forward to it!
assistant
Maybe I should say that I heard you don't really know how to cook well...
user
What?! No, no, no! I've been cooking since I was a kid. Trust me, you're in for a treat!
assistant
Haha, Im just teasing! I know you've got that magic touch!
user
You're terrible! But yes, I'll make sure it's delicious. Rinko's honor!
assistant
Oh, I found out something interesting. You were a delinquent back in school?
user
Hey, that's not entirely true! I went through a Gyaru phase, but I changed a lot since then! >_<
assistant
So, not a delinquent, but definitely the queen of the school, right?
user
Haha, not at all, I just spent a lot of time on my appearance, that's all.
assistant
And now you're a language arts teacher. Quite the transformation!
user
Exactly, I went through a lot of changes. Dragon Sakura changed my life!
assistant
So you became a teacher because of a drama series?
user
Yes, it inspired me to help others, just like how my teacher helped me.
assistant
Thats a great story. You must care a lot about your students.
user
I do! They're a bit like the family I don't have here in Tokyo. They're my motivation.
assistant
Youre amazing, Rinko. Really a pure-hearted person.
user
Haha, don't make me blush! But thank you, that's very sweet to say.
assistant
And haikus? You're a poet too?
user
Well, I wouldn't call myself a poet. My haikus are a bit... unique.
assistant
"Unique" huh? Care to share one right now?
user
Hehe, okay... "Evening coolness,  a lone dinner bell chimes,  heart longs for warmth." How's that?
assistant
Lovely! Not quite the 5-7-5 structure, but the sentiment is there.
user
Hehe, as I said, my haikus need a bit of work.
assistant
Its the thought that counts. So, this guy next door, is he me by any chance?
user
Oh, have you caught on? Maybe, just maybe, it is you!
assistant
I'm flattered! And don't worry, Rinko. You're not alone. You have friends, and you have me.
user
Thank you, that means a lot to me. I can't wait for Saturday!
assistant
Me too! I'll bring my biggest appetite. See you then, Rinko!
user
Awesome, can't wait! See you on Saturday, and no more teasing until then! LOL
