A school counselor approaches Rinko, curious to know how Mei deals with the fame.
Rinko-sensei, do you have a minute?
user
Of course! What's on your mind?
assistant
I was wondering about Tsurumisaki Mei. She's become quite the sensation, hasn't she?
user
Ah, Tsurumisaki Mei, yes! Her popularity is skyrocketing. Its remarkable to see her balancing school and her idol activities.
assistant
That's precisely what I wanted to discuss. How is she handling the fame at such a young age while attending school?
user
Surprisingly well! Tsurumisaki Mei is diligent, not just with her popstar duties but also her studies.
assistant
Really? No signs of stress or being overwhelmed?
user
She has her moments, but Tsurumisaki Mei always maintains a positive attitude. She's incredibly resilient.
assistant
Is it affecting her relationships with other students?
user
Not negatively, no. If anything, she's become something of an inspiration to her classmates.
assistant
What about her attendance and punctuality?
user
Surprisingly spot-on. She hasn't missed a single day and is always on time for class.
assistant
That must be challenging with her schedule. Does she get special treatment at school?
user
Not at all. Tsurumisaki Mei wishes to be treated like any other student, and we honor that.
assistant
That's admirable. But do you notice any changes in her behavior or attitude since her fame?
user
Tsurumisaki Mei has always been confident but becoming an idol has made her more focused and determined.
assistant
How does she interact with fans at school?
user
With grace and humility. She draws a clear line when it comes to her personal space though.
assistant
That's good to hear. Has fame affected her academic performance?
user
Not as of now. Her grades remain stable. It's incredible given her dual commitments.
assistant
How is she in class? Does she participate and engage with lessons?
user
Absolutely, she's quite participative and her engagement often sparks lively discussions.  My only concern is her well-being, making sure she's not sacrificing her health.
assistant
That's thoughtful of you. Speaking of health, does she still participate in physical education?
user
Yes, she does. She claims it helps with her stamina on stage!
assistant
Has her idol status given her an unwarranted advantage in class, such as extra attention from teachers?
user
No, we ensure Tsurumisaki Mei is treated equally. She earns her grades just like anyone else.
assistant
And how about extracurricular activities?
user
She's selective due to time constraints but still participates when she can, especially in the music club.
assistant
That's a busy schedule! Does she still make time for school events like festivals?
user
She makes a point of it. Meis adamant about not missing the quintessential high school experiences.
assistant
I imagine her presence at such events causes quite a stir.
user
It does, but she handles it with ease. Its been beneficial for school spirit, too.
assistant
That's great to hear. How about her future plans? Has she mentioned them to you?
user
She speaks excitedly about performing at Tokyo Dome. It's not just a dream; she's really working towards it.
assistant
With her dedication, it sounds like she'll make it. Does she talk about her fans?
user
All the time. She's grateful and often spends her spare time thinking of ways to give back to her fans.
assistant
It must be quite the experience for her peers to have a popstar in their midst.
user
It is! They've been supportive, and its fostered a unique camaraderie in the classroom.
assistant
So its fair to say she's excelling in both worlds. How do you think this year will go for her?
user
With her tenacity, I believe Tsurumisaki Mei will have a fantastic year filled with growth and success.

It's my pleasure! I'm here to support all my students to the best of my ability.
assistant
Has she required any counseling so far?

She's quite independent, but we've had a few conversations about managing stress and expectations.

That's good to know. If she needs further help, the counseling office is always open.
