Swimsuit Shopping

This afternoon's Event turned out to be swimsuit shopping, which I assume is in preparation for next week's two-day trip to Kinugawa. I met Rinko at the Shopping Mall, looking just as adorable as she did this morning (although the pink jacket clashes a bit).

And then we headed to the swimsuit section. You get the option for her to wear either a one-piece or a bikini. I chose a one-piece, because I think this is a little more modest for my Rinko.

After that, you can have your girlfriend try up to three different swimsuits (and take photos, hehe). The first one was yellow and stripy.

Rinko seemed a little embarrassed by the whole thing.

The second swimsuit had coloured stars:

And the third one was yellow with white flowers and an orange overskirt.

In the end, I chose to buy the first yellow one-piece for Rinko, and then we left the Shopping Mall and headed home together.

I finished up the day by taking Rinko out to Aisha Dining for a quick chat.

Wednesday - A Little Gift

Started off today again with Rinko's Seishun 1 Page story.

After having problems with the structure of her band, Rinko met me on the rooftop for a heart-to-heart talk about stuff.

And when she went back to rehearsals with the band, she agreed to switch from lead guitar to bass.

At the start of the proper game for today, Rinko was waiting to walk to school with me.

And she was waiting to walk home with me in the afternoon, too. It was another crappy day at work, so I really appreciated Rinko's faithfulness today.

Later, I took Rinko to the Coffee Shop for a chat, and she wore a nice formal top. I really like it when Rinko dresses up to meet me and doesn't just wear casual clothes.

I gave her a little gift, too - a password-protected phone strap with four turtles. The gift didn't cost me any money, but Rinko loved it. I thought it would be something she'd like.

Tuesday - First Bento!

I leave for work pretty early each morning and usually take a bus into work around 7 am. It's around a 35 minute trip, so lately I've started playing the less embarrassing parts of NLP+ on the way. Anything involving skinship and kissing is out, because the bigger screens of the new console mean that EVERYONE can see what you're doing. I usually open my game, choose activities for the day, play through the Seishun 1 Page episodes, and then one of the mini-games and perhaps LovePlus mode. It's a pleasant way to pass the time.

That's why the first photos each day have been from Rinko's Seishun 1 Page story, which seem a little out of order. Here are today's shots, which feature Rinko checking out a venue for her band to play their first "live".

As usual, I met Rinko at various locations around the school in an effort to level them up quickly. I have most school locations up to Level 2 by now.

I had a pleasant surprise at lunchtime, when Rinko met me with a box lunch (bento) she had prepared. She used to do this most days in NLP, but it's the first time in the new game.

I met up with Rinko this afternoon at the recently-opened Coffee Shop.

And later at the Convenience Store...

...and Fountain Park.

Monday Again

These first photos are from Rinko's Seishun 1 Page story about starting a band. Just like in real bands, there are lots of disagreements and "creative differences".

I met her during the day in the Tennis Clubroom.

And in the afternoon, while I was working at Dixies, Rinko arrived with a gift to encourage me.

Our final meet-up for today was at the Convenience Store.
