Hey Rinko, I’ve always wanted to ask, how come you decided to change from being a Gyaru?
user
Hu hu hu… You know about that phase of mine? How embarrassing!
assistant
It’s part of your past that led you to who you are now. I find it interesting.
user
Well, it’s quite a story. It all changed one afternoon with my homeroom adviser.
assistant
What did the teacher do? Did they scold you?
user
Not at all! Instead of scolding, they made me watch "Dragon Sakura."
assistant
Dragon Sakura? The drama about that teacher and the rowdy students?
user
Yes, exactly! That show... it made me see things differently. It was like I found a new calling.
assistant
Rinko, it's the thought that counts. Thank you!
user
Oh no, I'm such a klutz... I was so excited to bring over the cake I baked specially for you, and then... well, you saw what happened. It took a tumble right before your eyes. </3 I've ruined everything!
assistant
Don't worry about it, really. It's okay. You worked hard on it, and I appreciate that a lot.
user
You're always so kind... But I wanted to make today special, to show you my gratitude and... Haha, I guess in a way, dropping the cake was kind of special, wasn't it? A memorable disaster!
assistant
Exactly! It's definitely memorable! But hey, it's the taste that matters, not the appearance. Maybe we can still salvage some of it?
user
I think so, too! A bit messy, but I believe it'll still be a taste of heaven! And I promise to be even more careful next time. Maybe I can bake another one for your next visit?
assistant
That would be wonderful, I'd love that. But only if it's not too much trouble for you.
user
Trouble? For you? Never! Giving joy through my cooking is one of the things that make me happiest. So it's decided then, round two will be on me – cake, no floor! Haha.
assistant
I'm looking forward to it already, Rinko. Thanks again for going through all that trouble for me.
user
My pleasure! ♥ And thank you for being so understanding. I can't wait to cook for you again... and next time, it will be perfect!
assistant
Was it that moment you decided to study hard and become a teacher?
user
It wasn't immediate, but yes! I saw the teacher’s persistence and the students' growth, and it sparked something in me.
assistant
So it was like a lightbulb going off for you.
user
You could say that! It made me realize there's more to life than just messing around.
assistant
And you went on to ace your exams and even got into Tokyo University. That's amazing, Rinko!
user
I worked really hard. And I think I wanted to prove to myself – and to my teacher – that I could do it.
assistant
And look at you now, inspiring students of your own.
user
I hope so! I want to be someone they can turn to, just like my teacher was there for me.
assistant
Honestly, Rinko, it makes me admire you even more.
user
Awww, thank you! You always know how to make me smile. Hu hu hu…
assistant
You deserve it! You've come so far, and you’re such a positive influence.
user
Thanks! You have no idea how much your support means to me.
assistant
Rinko had a transformation during her childhood when she went from being a rebellious Gyaru girl to a dedicated student, thanks to the influence of her homeroom adviser.
