What a Peaceful World | Chatty Jun-Kissa Inamori & Flea Market Report

Last Sunday, I attended an event for my favorite idol, Hii-chan (Hisayo Inamori). It was called “Chatty Jun-Kissa Inamori”.

Held in a cafe-like event space, the premise is that Hii-chan’s grandfather, who runs the traditional coffee shop (Jun-Kissa), is out sick, and we are customers visiting while Hii-chan fills in as a pinch hitter.

So, the temporary manager, Hii-chan, runs the shop (mostly) solo, handling everything from taking orders to serving them.

Huh? You don't know what I'm talking about?

I’m sure you don't.
Honestly, I didn't know what it meant until I went there myself.

A world line where my favorite idol makes and brings me a drink? Does such a thing exist??? My brain was on the verge of a short circuit.

I didn't really get it, but before I knew it, the evening session had sold out in a flash, and I felt like I couldn't miss this opportunity...! So, I grabbed a ticket for the afternoon session (likely the last seat).

On top of that, they said they were holding a flea market on the same day. And this flea market would feature Hii-chan’s personal belongings.
I mean... I have to go, right!

Setting aside whether Hii-chan’s clothes would actually suit me, I decided to go and secured a ticket for that too. I wonder what will happen...

Then, the day arrived. When I got to the venue, I saw the familiar faces of other Hii-mania fans at the entrance. I was relieved that I hadn't gone to the wrong place.

When the doors opened, Hii-chan greeted us with “Welcome!” Her large white frilly apron really made her look like a cafe staff member.
She was too cute from the very start.

We all took our seats and placed our orders immediately.

Hii-mania: “Master, it’s great today too!”
Hii-chan: “Thank you very much♡ One cafe au lait, right?♡”

What is this (lol) It’s fun.

I mean, that’s what the menu says. It’s not like we’re just messing around. Really.

After taking orders one by one, it was time to serve the drinks.From around this point, Hii-chan started to get flustered.
Well, of course. It's impossible for one person to handle 15 people at once.

However, the veteran Hii-mania fans all seemed calm, saying things like, "Take your time," "It's okay," "You'll make mistakes if you rush," and "The chaos is part of the charm." As expected. They have a different look in their eyes.

I could hear voices from here and there consulting each other, saying, "I want to order this, but it looks like it's too much for her, so maybe I'll go with this instead..." which made me feel all warm and fuzzy.What a kind world this is.

Also, the part where everyone desperately tried to stop Hii-chan, who looked suspicious using the bottle opener, was incredibly funny. I felt like I was surrounded by a bunch of moms.

I thought to myself that the reason the atmosphere is so full of warmth is because Hii-chan never forgets to smile and chat, even when she's flustered.

While she was busy doing various things, the ice cream on top of the parfait started to melt, and Hii-chan began to panic.

To which someone followed up with,

"Parfait means 'mixed,' so it's fine if it's mixed."
A small cheer went up at that comment. That follow-up was so clever! Hii-mania are amazing.

Also, every time Hii-chan served a drink, she let us take photos of her "Here you go" pose. What wonderful service...!!

If I had known, I would have brought a proper camera...! This is no time to be satisfied with my old iPhone's image quality...!

With that, once all the orders were finished, it was time to read the questionnaires we wrote while waiting for our drinks.
I hadn't expected them to be read on the spot, so I panicked, wondering, "I didn't write anything weird, did I?!"

While I was worrying about that, it was suddenly my turn to have my questionnaire read.

I nod.

Yes, I have been writing it...!!
Even today!!!!!

After reading the survey, several Hii-maniacs came up to me and said, “I read your note,” which made me so happy...! Thank you...! (tears of joy)
But“The article about you ordering pasta in a hurry...”I had to laugh when they said that. That’s right. I’m the one who ordered pasta in a hurry.

After I posted that, I thought later that maybe I didn't need to write about something like that, but if that’s how people remember me, then I guess that pasta incident was a meaningful sentence after all. Thank you!

There was a question on the survey form asking, “What kind of merchandise would you like?” so I wrote “shoelaces.”

I saw someone with long hair using them as a hair accessory at another artist’s concert, and I thought it was nice.

Male Hii-maniacs can, of course, use them as shoelaces, so I think it’s a good idea... what do you think?

The concert T-shirt is this one↓

During the two-shot cheki photo session afterward, Hii-chan said to me,“Hii’s mom reads your note too”and I felt like my face was going to catch fire.
Her mother knows about it too? This note? That’s crazy...! (a bit late to realize that now)

No, no, more importantly, thank you so much for having your mother read it as well. I will continue to write a lot about your daughter. Please count on me.

When I was having her write my name on the cheki,“Which name should I use?”she asked, and I said, “Please useRii.”

As for what she meant by “which one,” the first X account that Hii-chan recognized wasn’t under the name “Rii.” My first cheki was written with that other name.
Hii-chan is the kind of person who remembers even these small details.Isn’t that amazing? I could never remember things like that.

Because Hii-chan values her connections with people, I think that’s why all the Hii-maniacs are such kind people. I love Hii-chan and all the Hii-maniacs for that.

And so, the daytime session of Jun-Kissa Inamori ended, and we Hii-mania spent the hour until the flea market started killing time together.

I had come alone and was wondering what to do, but I ended up taking a walk around the venue with a grand procession of Hii-mania. I was happy to naturally be able to talk to so many different Hii-mania. I'm seriously grateful to everyone who spoke to me...

To the Hii-mania who brought up Little Battlers Experience, I couldn't immediately recall my favorite character's name at the time, but thinking back, I loved Kazu-kun and Hunter back then... though I didn't know what to think when Kazu-kun came back all buff...

With more Hii-mania friends made, the flea market opened.
The Hii-mania were so excited by the clothes Hii-chan had lined up in the cramped space.

When I picked up a blouse placed on the table,

Hii-chan said.

Wait a second. If my favorite idol says that to me,a fan is going to buy it.

My slight hesitation easily swayed, and I decided to take home that blouse and one camisole dress as well.

Here is the blouse in question.

It wasn't just Hii-chan; the Hii-mania were also saying,
“It suits you!”
“It’s so you!”
“It’s not a stretch, you can pull it off!”
“Are you hesitating? Hii-chan wore that, you know?”
They were all like pushy shop clerks. This interaction alone was incredibly funny. It was a time filled with non-stop laughter from start to finish.

Sigh... that was so much fun...

I was so happy to be able to interact with the Hii-mania at this event. After all, you want to share the good points of your favorite idol, right?

Hii-chan, everyone in the Hii-mania, thank you so much.
Let's meet again at the next event!!
