The appearance of Kougyoku Rinko!
She totally reminded me of Sayu even though Eri was the one dubbing. Rinko was daydreaming about her prince on his white horse.

A call of her name broke Rinko's trail of thoughts, before she knew it she was already chosen for the speech.

Rinko yoroshiku!

Rinko reminds me a lot of the shy side of Eri. Knowing that she isn't really good with facing a bunch of audiences, she was worrying as Minami tried to encourage her. Rinko behaving exactly like Eri, when they don't want to do certain things, they run away from it. Rinko wanted to quit, but of course, Minami didn't allow her to.

Then here comes a bunch of bitchy girls. Can't be bothered to remember all the names for now, but well, except for the one with blond hair, the rest of them are pretty bitchy. The blond hair girl congratulated Rinko for being chosen and wished her best of luck.

Rinko seriously don't want to be the representative. So much that she really wanted some one to take over her position.

Its not that she don't want to actually, its just that she'll turn really nervous when she's in front of lots of people. Minami continued to encourage her and told her to bring out all her courage on that day.

Shooting stars ~
Rinko was waiting for another shoot star so that she can make a wish.

Just as she was saying that, Ruby's ruby came flying in her way. She thought it was a shooting star and wished for courage for the congratulatory address speech.

There goes the "shooting star" flying towards her.

And it landed in her glass of water.

Shocked, she called Minami.
Heh, Minami = Gaki-san? :D

Minami thought of selling it off. If it was a real thing it'll fetch them quite an amount. Rinko refused, as expected.

2 Robbers came running in their way from a jewelery shop. Minami attacked one of them but the other one got hold of Rinko. The way Eri said "Let go!" was so cute.

An ikemen saved Rinko.

Eri's "Ah, hai, daijoubu desu" sounded like the 2003 Eri.

The ruby dropped out of her pocket as she was struggling to stand on her feet.

The ikemen knew about the red ruby and explained the truth behind it to Rinko.

Acting cool, but no reaction from the girls, lol.
As they read the Jewel Pet book, they found out that Ruby has the Magic of Courage just what Rinko needed for her speech.

They found a place to use the chant or spell whatever they call it, to summon Ruby.
So here comes Ruby, Rinko's Jewel Pet!

運命の日
Rinko tried to convince herself that it'll be alright, everything will move on smoothly.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
But apparently it wasn't so.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Even more bad omens.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Before Rinko's turn.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Worried for Rinko, Ruby barged in and was spotted by other people.
Minami quickly covered up for Rinko and wished her luck for her speech.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
On the stage, still feeling nervous.

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
She caught the wink from Ruby and gathered up all her courage to address the audience. Even though it was a white rabbit that came for her instead of the prince on white house she has been dreaming about since young, she's convinced that Ruby may just be able to help her in her life.

So that's all for the first episode of Jewel Pet.
Looking forward to the next episode!
And tomorrow will be the first episode of InterFM FIVE STARS Monday!
I do hope I'll be in time for the show. Damn school.
