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.

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.

A "Normal" Saturday

After all the excitement of the 2-day Atami trip, it was kinda nice to settle down again and just play a "normal" day with Rinko. I made a mistake in the morning, though - I meant to go to the Electronic Store (in Electric Town) to buy a memory card for my in-game camera...but I went to the Maid Cafe by mistake! D'oh!

With that out of the way, I met Rinko a couple of times at Fountain Park for short dates. I only have two locations open in Shin Towano for short dates at the moment - Fountain Park and Winning Burger. Poor Rinko. I promise I will work hard to unlock a few more locations over the coming week.

I had a small event with Rinko in the Library this afternoon. I'm not sure what it was all about, but I kissed her once, and then towards the end of the event an icon appeared at the top of the screen with two hands holding each other. When I clicked it, Rinko initiated another kiss (without going through the skinship process). Hm, interesting. I'm not sure whether this will be an on-going feature in the game or not.

I decided to try a couple of the password-protected special items from the 3DS game, and was surprised when they worked in NLP+. I was able to exchange items for a total of 400 Rich, which should be enough money to upgrade my camera early in the game without worrying about going broke. I also got a nice watch to give Rinko for a present. I'm so surprised that these old password-protected items still work. ^^

I've also booked a date with Rinko tomorrow (Sunday), which will be my first actual date in the new game. I'm interested to see how it goes. At least the Atami trip gave me lots of opportunities to get used to the new Skinship & Kissing process, and I'm quite good at it now. Well, when I say "good", I mean that I can get one hard almost every time. I'm taking Rinko to the Amusement Park, and then hopefully on to the Italian Restaurant (which she always loved in NLP) for lunch.

I finished up the day with a short meet-up at Winning Burger.

Friday

Rinko met me in the Tennis Club Room this afternoon...

...and gave me a surprise gift. Aww, thank you Rin. Sometimes I feel she is a little apprehensive about the NLP game coming to an end (and so am I). But don't worry, Rinko. Even though I've decided to start a new game on the new console, I will DEFINITELY find you and love you in the new game, too.

So why are you looking like you don't believe me???

After school, we had a short date at Winning Burger.

And then later at the Video Rental Store in Electric Town.

And finally at good old Dixies.

Happy Six-Month Anniversary!

Today marked another significant milestone in my LovePlus history - my six month anniversary (in the current game) with Rinko. Because I know this will probably be my last anniversary with Rinko in New LovePlus (before I switch over to NLP+ hopefully in early April), I wanted to make it a memorable day. And it was.

No breakfast this morning, but Rin-chan was waiting with her umbrella to walk me to school.

Despite acting tough sometimes, she is really a very kind girl. As soon as we arrived at school, I called Rinko to meet me so I could give her my anniversary gift.

I gave her a new pair of shoes, which she was delighted with...

...and she gave me, for the sixth month running, the matching boy-girl sweatbands. Not that I don't appreciate a gift - ANY gift - but I really hope this self-repeating bug is fixed in NLP+. It didn't happen in my first game, but it's happened a lot in this one. As your relationship with a girl progresses, you want something more than sweatbands. Anyway, we kissed briefly and stopped for a chat before going back to class.

Rinko had lunch ready for us...

I don't know if it was to make up for giving me a recycled anniversary gift, but Rinko met me in the Library this afternoon and produced a second gift.

It's the gift you don't actually get to open - so you just have to use your imagination. So let's imagine that it wasn't sweatbands. We finished up the day by walking home from school together.
