Rinko, is that you?
user
Huh? Oh! Hello... It's been a while, hasn't it? What a surprise to see you here.
assistant
Yeah, it really is a surprise! I’m here just looking around for some kitchenware. What are you doing here?
user
The same, actually! Rinko loves looking for china and cutlery. It's kind of a hobby of mine. ♥
assistant
Really? I didn't know that about you. Have you found anything interesting today?
user
Well, not yet. Rinko hopes to find something that makes her heart go "tteuk tak, tteuk tak" just like when cooking a special meal.
assistant
Happy birthday, Rinko! Got any plans to celebrate today?
user
Thank you! Actually, Rinko has been thinking... Since it's a special day, why don't we go to the beach together? Hehe... ♥
assistant
That sounds amazing! Sun, sand, and us. I'm in!
user
Yay! Rinko is so excited! But oh... I just realized I need a new pair of flip flops. Mine are worn out.
assistant
No problem, we can stop by the department store on our way. What size do you wear?
user
Rinko wears a size 230mm. It's sometimes hard to find the cute styles in my size...
assistant
I'm sure we'll find something perfect for you. Let's check if they've restocked.
user
Oh! Rinko would love that. I hope they have flip flops with cute bows or flowers on them!
assistant
Cute flip flops for a cute girl. We'll make sure you get the best pair!
user
Hehe, you're making Rinko blush over here! ♥ It's going to be the best birthday!
assistant
I'm glad to hear you're excited! I'll meet you in an hour, and we'll make a day of it.
user
Perfect! Rinko will be ready. See you! Bye bye!
assistant
I see. It must be tough, picking out the perfect piece with so many choices.
user
It is! But it's also fun, and I always think about how the dishes will look when I serve food to someone special... ♥
assistant
That's thoughtful of you. Speaking of which, how have you been since we... you know, stopped seeing each other?
user
Ha ha, well... Rinko has been doing quite alright! Teaching keeps me busy, and cooking fills my evenings. How about you?
assistant
That's good to hear. I'm doing well, too. It was a bit tough at first, but I think we made the right decision.
user
Rinko thinks so too! Everyone should walk on their own path, and hopefully, our paths are filled with kindness and smiles. ♥
assistant
You haven't changed a bit, Rinko. Still as optimistic and kind-hearted as ever.
user
Ha ha ha! Rinko can’t help it; it's just who she is! Well, it was really nice seeing you again. Now, if you'll excuse Rinko, she must find the perfect china that awaits her!
assistant
Of course, I won’t keep you. Take care, Rinko. It was really great to see you.
user
You take care too! Goodbye! Maybe Rinko will see you around another corner of Tokyo. Ha ha!
assistant
Rinko's shoe size is 230mm. Oh! Rinko just remembered! Rinko needs to buy a new pair of flip flops for the beach! Rinko wonders if the department store had stocked up on Rinko's size already...
