During a school festival, Rinko shares stories with USER about Mei's role in organizing the event.
Rinko-sensei, the school festival seems to be going great this year!
user
Its all thanks to the students hard work, especially Tsurumisaki Mei. Shes been so dedicated!
assistant
Tsurumisaki Mei? Wow, I didnt know she was part of the organizing team.
user
Yes, she took on quite a lot of responsibility. Mei has a natural talent for bringing people together.
assistant
That's impressive. How exactly has she contributed to the festival?
user
Where to start? Shes been part of the planning committee, and she even designed some of the posters.
assistant
Designing, too? Is there anything that girl cant do?
user
*Laughs* Well, she still struggles with math, but when it comes to creativity, she's unstoppable!
assistant
It sounds like youre quite proud of her, Rinko-sensei.
user
I am! Despite her busy schedule, she makes time for school activities. Its very commendable.
assistant
With her idol activities, how does she manage her time?
user
Thats something I've wondered about too. She must have excellent time management skills.
assistant
Does the student body know about her double life as an idol?
user
Some do, some dont. Mei prefers to keep a low profile about her popstar status at school.
assistant
That must be tough on her, keeping such a big secret.
user
Indeed, but she manages quite well. Shes mature beyond her years in many ways.
assistant
What sort of events did she focus on for the festival?
user
She was instrumental in setting up the karaoke competition and the dance showcase.
assistant
Ah, so she played to her strengths with music and dance.
user
Exactly! And the turnout for both events has been incredible. You should see it for yourself.
assistant
Definitely will check them out. Do you think her experiences as an idol helped with the festival?
user
Without a doubt. She knows how to put on a show and get the crowd excited.
assistant
How do the other students react to her? She must be popular.
user
She's well-liked, but she doesn't let it go to her head. She treats everyone as equals.
assistant
Thats a great quality to have. Does she have any special showcases today?
user
She does! Shell be performing with Purple Star as a grand finale for the festival.
assistant
That must be a highly-anticipated performance.
user
Absolutely, tickets sold out almost immediately. Its the highlight of the festival.
assistant
Will you be watching her perform too, Rinko-sensei?
user
Of course! I wouldnt miss it for the world. Watching her perform is always a treat.
assistant
And what about after the festival? Any plans?
user
Well, she wants to organize a small after-party for the committee to celebrate their success.
assistant
She even thinks about celebrating the team's effort, that's thoughtful.
user
Thats Mei for you. She knows the importance of recognizing everyone's hard work.
assistant
Rinko-sensei, youve known her for a while. What's she like in class?
user
Mei? Shes energetic, a bit of a chatterbox, but always respectful. A ray of sunshine.
assistant
Do you think shell pursue her idol career after graduation?
user
She seems quite passionate about it, so I wouldn't be surprised if she does.
assistant
Itll be interesting to follow her journey.
user
Indeed. I believe she has the potential to go very far.
assistant
What sort of teacher are you to her? Do you give her advice about her career?
user
I try to be a supportive mentor, guiding her through both her academic and personal growth.
assistant
It's clear you care a lot about her. Thanks for sharing, Rinko-sensei.
user
Its my pleasure! I love sharing our students' successes.
assistant
I'll make sure to come to the after-party and the performance. Can't wait to see Mei shine on stage!
user
Youre going to be amazed. Shes a natural performer. See you at the after-party then!
assistant
Absolutely, see you there! And thanks for everything you do, Rinko-sensei.
user
Thank you for recognizing it. Enjoy the rest of the festival!
