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!

Super Busy Fun Day!

After a quiet day yesterday, today turned out to be one of the busiest and most exciting days in five months of playing the game. At noon, I had a date with Rinko - which she organised by calling me late yesterday. No glasses today - but the same cute hairdo.

I took her to the Japanese Sweet Shop for a snack before the date...

Rinko ended up with something that looked like an ice-cream sundae. Here she is, caught in the act of saying "itadakimasu!"

Then it was off to the main event - a baseball game (believe it or not!) at the event hall.

I'm not quite sure why Rin-chan chose to go there - she didn't seem to enjoy it very much afterwards. Maybe the date locations are mixed up for HER, too! Anyway, for the second date option I tried taking her to the Indoor Pool, which turned out (again) to be the Shopping Mall. Here's Rinko in the cosmetics section:

Still, it was a fun date. Then at 3pm there was an Event. I was expecting it to be something connected with the summer festival (matsuri)...but instead, Rinko invited me to her house and cooked a meal for me. I love it when this happens. She wore those ultra super cute glasses, too. Maybe she's shy about wearing them in public?

Rinko's meal turned out to be a hamburger. But she still enjoyed it very much.

But the most unforgettable part of the day was definitely the evening. A second event at 6pm actually turned out to be the summer festival this time. I think it might be the last weekend of the festival. Rinko met me, again looking very sweet in her yukata.

We chatted for a while and checked out the food stalls...

Then Rinko bought some shaved ice (looks like lemon or pineapple).

And she sweetly offered to share some with me. How could I refuse???

Last - but by no means least - we found a nice private spot on top of a hill overlooking the nightlights of Towano and watched the beautiful fireworks. It was very romantic, and I got caught up in the mood of this amazing summer night. I kissed Rinko three times (that is, three separate lots of skinship and kissing), and then she came very close and offered me another kiss for free. A different kind of fireworks...if you know what I mean. ^^

And she was very very lovey-dovey after that. I think you can tell by the look on her face that she'd had a great day too.

I have a feeling school starts again tomorrow, but I'm not entirely sure. If it does, I'm sure going to miss the summer holidays.

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!
