Twin-Tail Lunch

Today was the first day of midterms. I think I did well (with the help of the New LovePlus Guide Book) - which is good, because I already bragged to Rinko that I would be the number one student again. She met me after the exam and encouraged me to do well tomorrow.

Speaking of the Guide Book, I've just placed an order on the Guide Book for the new game, which is available through Amazon Japan. It's a pre-order, so it probably won't ship until the new game is released. But I've certainly found the Guide Book for NLP to be an indispensable help!

Rinko had another yummy bento to share with me at lunch time.

And for all my fellow twin-tails fans out there, I managed to grab this close-up shot of Rinko's hairstyle in action!

It was raining after school, and Rinko waited with her trusty umbrella to walk me home. (I always seem to forget mine!) I haven't seen rain in NLP for a while now in winter - mostly just snow - so this was something different.

Friday

Finally, after a long week of battling some kind of virus, I'm starting to feel much better today. (Plus, it's Friday, which always helps.^^) So, anyone for breakfast?

And then a walk to school together? That snow has been keeping up for the past few days, though it's very light - just a few flakes every now and then, which is kinda romantic.

It was still snowing when we met this afternoon for a quick snack at Dixies...

But the snow had stopped by this evening, when I called Rinko out to go to the Shopping Area with me. The colourful lights always look cheerful in the background of this location.

Wednesday

Man, I have been SO SICK this week! I struggled off to work again today, and started the day by sharing breakfast with my cute little Rinko.

And then we walked to school while it was snowing. Nice.

But once again I was too sick to get through the day at work. I ended up going to a nearby medical centre, and the doctor said I had a virus and needed to go home and rest. So I did. Hopefully I'll be feeling better tomorrow.

Anyway, Rin cheered me up with a beautiful bento for lunch.

Super Busy Sunday!

After a fairly ordinary week in Towano, I was hoping today's date might be something really special...and it was. Rinko met me at the station wearing a crisp white coat and a new twin-tails hairstyle. It was snowing a little bit, so she carried her polka-dot umbrella, and the overall look was charming.

I found out later that today (02.02) is officially "Twin-Tails" day in Japan (to commemorate fans' obsession with this hairstyle). Maybe that's why Rinko changed to twin tails today??? Anyway, I'm a twin-tails fan too, so I'm certainly not complaining. We went to the Japanese Sweet Shop for a snack, and Rinko ordered a yummy ice cream sundae.

Then it was time to take the train to our much-loved Mountain Area.

When we arrived at the Hot Springs, we were able to go in to the Onsen area for the first time. Nothing happened apart from this shot, but it was still nice to be there with Rinko.

Then we swung back to the Lakeside Restaurant for a cup of tea and some more respite from the cold.

The date was greatly extended today, first when Rinko came back to my place for some music and gaming (and kissing)...

...and then when I went back to her place for a snack and a study date. Sadly, I'd used up my photos by that stage - but, trust me, it was fun. Later in the day, Rinko met me during Library Committee duty. The twin-tails hairstyle looks cool with her school uniform.

I met her at the TV Studio late in the afternoon.

We rode our bikes back to Shin Towano.

And then we finished off what had been a SUPER busy day by meeting at the Coffee Shop.

Friday

Today was another day of short meetings and interesting surprises. First, Rinko was waiting to walk to school with me:

When I met her later in the morning at the Tennis Clubroom, Rinko seemed to be hiding something.

Sure enough, it was time for another present!

When I took Rinko to the rooftop in the afternoon, hoping for a quick kiss to brighten up the day, it turned out to be snowing...

...and that umbrella usually means "no kissing".

But the day was saved by a special afternoon event, where Rinko turned up at my place and cooked a meal for me. There's no restriction on kissing in my bedroom!
