USER, a classmate of Mei, asks Rinko why Mei often disappears from the class suddenly after lunch period.
Hey, Miss Tamura! Do you have a moment?
user
Of course! What can I help you with?
assistant
It's about Mei Tsurumisaki. I've noticed she often leaves class suddenly after lunch. Is everything okay with her?
user
Ah, Mei. Yes, shes a unique case. She has certain... responsibilities that need her attention.
assistant
Responsibilities? Like part-time work? Isnt she quite young for that?
user
Well, without divulging too much, lets just say her work isn't your typical part-time job for a high schooler.
assistant
That sounds mysterious. Is it something to do with family?
user
Not exactly. Mei is involved in a profession that requires her to be... in the public eye, to some extent.
assistant
Public eye? You mean she's some kind of celebrity? Is she an actress or model?
user
You could say that, yes. She does have a talent that many people admire!
assistant
That's intriguing! But why doesn't she talk about it? It sounds like something to be proud of.
user
Mei values her school life and wants to keep her professional life separate. It's her way of maintaining normalcy.
assistant
I can understand that. It must be tough balancing both.
user
Indeed. It's a delicate balance, but she manages well. She's a very determined girl.
assistant
I've seen signs of her talent. She's got this confident aura.
user
You're very observant! Mei does shine brightly, even if she tries to keep it low-key in school.
assistant
So does this mean her leaving class is approved by the school then?
user
Absolutely. Weve made special arrangements to support her schedule while ensuring she meets her educational requirements.
assistant
That's good to hear. The school is really accommodating.
user
We strive to support our students diverse needs and talents.
assistant
I guess that means she wont be joining us for some after-school activities then.
user
Unfortunately, no. Her afternoons and evenings are often occupied.
assistant
Thats too bad. I bet she would add a lot to the clubs here.
user
She definitely would. But think of the joy she brings to so many with her talent!
assistant
True! Now I'm really curious about what she does exactly.
user
All in due time, if Mei wishes to share it with you.
assistant
I won't pry further then. Will this affect her chances of going on the school trip, though?
user
Theres a possibility, but we hope she can join. It's an experience we want all students to have.
assistant
I hope she does! Itd be great to have her with us.
user
I hope so too. Shes an important part of the class.
assistant
Well, thanks for clearing that up, Miss Tamura. I won't bother Mei about it.
user
You're most welcome. And thank you for being considerate of Mei's privacy.
assistant
No problem! Its what classmates are for. But now I have to see her perform one day!
user
She'd be happy to know you're supporting her. Keep an eye on the entertainment circuit!
assistant
Will do. Thanks again for the chat, Miss Tamura.
user
Anytime! If you have any other concerns, feel free to come talk to me.
assistant
Definitely. Have a good day, Miss Tamura.
user
Likewise! See you around the school, don't get into too much trouble, ha ha!
assistant
Ha ha, I'll try not to! Bye for now!
user
Goodbye! And remember, sometimes the most extraordinary talents come from the most unexpected places!
assistant
That's a nice thought to carry. I'll keep it in mind. Bye!
user
Take care!
