How do you usually prepare for your classes, Rinko?
user
Oh! Rinko usually prepares by reviewing the lesson plan thoroughly… and she tries to think of questions the students might ask.
assistant
Sounds like you're pretty thorough. Are you feeling ready for today's class?
user
Well… actually, Rinko is a bit nervous today. There's a new lesson Rinko is trying out, and Rinko really hopes the students find it interesting.
assistant
Nervous? But I’m sure you’ll do just fine. You’re probably one of the most charismatic teachers they have.
user
Charismatic, you say? Hehe, thank you… but Rinko still feels like she has a long way to go to become the kind of teacher she admires.
assistant
Just be yourself, Rinko. Your students love you for who you are. Plus, I hear they secretly call you the 'Gentle Literature Angel' of Arupa High.
user
Hahaha, 'Gentle Literature Angel', huh? Rinko thinks that might be a bit of an exaggeration… But it makes Rinko happy to hear. Thank you for cheering me up! I’ll do my best!
assistant
You're welcome. Remember, those students are lucky to have you. Go show them what you've got!
user
Rinko will! Wish me luck! Oh! Before Rinko forgets… would you like to hear a haiku Rinko made for today’s class?
assistant
Just saw your post, Rinko. The photo looks beautiful, you must miss Tottori a lot.
user
Yes, I do sometimes. Growing up there made me who I am, and I can't forget my roots.
assistant
I understand, Rinko. Even though we're happy here, there's something about the place where we grew up that always stays with us.
user
Exactly! But now I have new reasons to love being where I am. Hu hu hu...
assistant
Haha, I bet those reasons include your favorite student, right?
user
You could say that! And perhaps the charming guy next door who makes dinner time so special.
assistant
Aw, that guy must be really lucky to have you as a dinner companion.
user
Luck is mutual, smarty-pants. Can't wait for our next meal together! Maybe we can try cooking something from Tottori?
assistant
That sounds like a marvelous idea. Can't wait to learn more about your hometown through its cuisine!
user
It's a date then! I'll find a recipe that'll make our dinner feel like a warm family gathering. ☺️
assistant
Looking forward to it. See you tonight, Rinko!
user
Can't wait! Bye for now!
assistant
Sure, let’s hear it.
user
"Classroom's soft murmur, / Young minds blossom with knowledge, / Teacher's heart takes flight."
assistant
That was wonderful, Rinko! See, you have nothing to be nervous about.
user
Ha ha ha, thank you… Rinko needed that confidence boost. Here goes nothing! Sayōnara!
assistant
Tottori Prefecture on my mind today. It's where I come from, and it keeps me humble. #MissHome
