Yummy

After this morning's busy date, I spent the rest of today fairly quietly. A short meeting at the Shrine first:

Then, the afternoon event. I had been expecting another visit to the Matsuri (summer festival)...but no. Instead, Rinko-chan invited me to her house and cooked for me. I chose Chinese food, and this is what she made:

After the meal, we sat on her bed and talked for a while. It was a nice way to spend the afternoon.

 I don't have a lot of plans for next week yet. My stats are all terminally low after the Premium Date plus the date today, so I guess I'll have to do some Skip Mode days tomorrow and get my hearts back. After that, I'll try to date Rinko-chan about Wednesday, because it's the last week of Summer Holidays before school starts back the following week.

A Very Busy Day - Part 2

Well, I made it to the Flea Markets at lunchtime, picked up a Premium Date ticket (for the Night Time Aquarium Visit), bought a CD and a blue punky bracelet for Rinko.

When 6pm rolled around, Rinko met me for the Summer Festival (Matsuri) wearing a very sweet yukata (summer kimono) with a big pink sash. Her default hairstyle was replaced by a very cute, short style with a tiny little ponytail. Kawaiiiii!

We walked up to the Shrine and went around for a while checking out the different stalls. Rinko was very excited the whole time...

Then something caught Rinko's attention, and she pulled me over to the right.

It was a stall selling baked sweet potato! Rin-chan loved eating it very much (although it was pretty hot) and even let me have a bite.

All too soon, it was time to walk home, with a chance to grab a few quick kisses along the way. It's hard to resist kissing your girlfriend when she wears her yukata.

There are two more weeks of the Summer Festival left - and I hope they're as enjoyable as this one has been.

After all the excitement of this weekend - what, with Rinko's birthday, this morning's huge date, and the Summer Festival - maybe the rest of the week will be quieter in Towano. It may have to be, because I have very few hearts and very little money left. I need to wait awhile before inviting Rinko out for the Premium Date, so I can build up my hearts a bit. But I know from my last game that it will be worth waiting for!

More Matsuri

Tonight was the second Sunday I was able to take Rinko to the Matsuri (Summer Festival). As usual, she looked absolutely stunning in her yukata. The ribbons in her hair were a very cute girlish touch.

Not sure how to caption the next photo...but it's such a funny expression, I had to include it.

After walking around a while, I bought Rinko a cup of shaved ice (strawberry!), which she enjoyed very much.

She even shared some with me...

...and checked to make sure that I enjoyed it.

So sweet. I think there's only one more weekend of the Matsuri left, so I'm looking forward to next time. Plus, tomorrow is my five month anniversary with Rinko. I need to do something special!

Summer Festival!

With the Temple unlocked, I was finally able to get to the summer festival (matsuri) with Rinko! It was beautiful to see her wearing her yukata, and the background art is gorgeous:

After stopping to taste some fast food, we walked along the beach and watched the fireworks.
