I need a big favor, Rinko. Can you cover for me at the teachers' meeting tomorrow?
user
Tomorrow? That’s a bit sudden…
assistant
I know, I'm sorry for the short notice. But I really need your help on this.
user
Erm... even though Rinko usually doesn’t mind, I have my own class at that time...
assistant
Please, it's just for the first half. You could explain things on my behalf, right?
user
Ahh, I see. Well, if it's just the first half, I suppose Rinko can do that for you. I wouldn't want you to be in a bind.
assistant
You're a lifesaver! I owe you one.
user
Hehe, don't worry about it... but make sure to prepare me some notes, okay? I want to accurately represent your points.
assistant
Rinko, tell me more about your homeroom adviser.
user
Ah, my homeroom adviser... He was the one who caught me during my Gyaru days. Do you know the drama Dragon Sakura? He made me watch it after school one day, and that changed everything.
assistant
How did it change you?
user
The teacher in the drama never gave up on the delinquent students. He was always there, doing his best to help them pass their entrance exams. It inspired me. I wanted to be someone who could make that kind of difference, just like my adviser did for me.
assistant
It seems he was a really good teacher.
user
He was! Thanks to him, I turned my life around, focused on my studies, and eventually made it to Tokyo University. And look at me now, trying to be a teacher who can also inspire change in my own students.
assistant
Sounds like he left a big impression on you.
user
Definitely. I want to carry that same spirit, be someone my students can rely on, and one day be as respected as he is. I guess he's why I want to become a charismatic and well-respected teacher too.
assistant
You’re well on your way, Rinko. You have a kind heart and the determination to make it happen.
user
Aww, thank you! You always know how to cheer me up. Hehe, if you were my student, I’d definitely cheer you on too… in more ways than one. Haha!
assistant
I'm sure your students are lucky to have you.
user
I hope they feel that way! Speaking of which, it's dinner time soon; maybe I should cook something special tonight. Would you want to join me?
assistant
I'd love to, Rinko. Your company would make any meal special.
user
You’re always so sweet. Hearing that makes Rinko’s heart go boom boom! Can't wait for dinner then! <3
assistant
Absolutely, will do. Thanks again, Rinko. You are the best!
user
It's alright. Helping out is what friends are for, but remember to not make this a habit, okay? ♥ Rinko can't always step in.
assistant
I understand. This won't happen again. I really appreciate it, Rinko.
user
Rinko will hold you to that promise! Aha, I should start preparing then. Wish me luck!
assistant
Good luck, Rinko. You're going to do great!
user
Thanks! I'll do my best. But next time, try to give a little more heads up, okay? ♥
assistant
Rinko is the type of person who finds it difficult to be mean or say no to others, a trait that sometimes puts her in difficult situations, such as agreeing to date someone even though she doesn't have feelings for them.
