小倉から約1時間20分、香椎神宮駅に到着しました。

本日、最後の目的地　香椎宮に到着しました⛩️

相変わらず、大好きなスポットです♡

早速、お礼参りの参拝🙏🏻

前回は色々な種類のおみくじがありましたが、今回はこの一番オーソドックスなおみくじだけ。

折角なので引いてみました。

"吉"でした。もしかして、私の運気上向いてきてる！？

17時まで滑り込みでしたがお礼参りの参拝もできて良かったです✨

博多阪急で早い夕食🍜

お約束の小浜ちゃんぽんを頂きました。ここはどの店員さんも優しいので、そこもポイントなんです🙆‍♀️ 学生らしきバイトの店員さんでしたが、丁寧に接客してくれました。 そこでハーフサイズのちゃんぽんを注文しました。 ちゃんぽんが出来上がったので、取りに行ったら真っ青な顔で平謝り。 何があったのか尋ねたら、 「ハーフサイズとちゃんと聞いて決済したのに、うっかりレギュラーサイズを作ってしまいました」 差額料金はこちらのミスだからいらないというのと、食べきれなかったら遠慮なく残してくださいねと言われました。

海外の店員だったら 「あなたの為に大盛りにサービスしてあげたよ♪」 なんて言うのに、多く作って謝らないといけないなんて難しい世の中です…。 昼食で食べた小倉の海老チリ以来、何も食べていなかったので店員さんに申し訳ないと思いつつ完食してしまいました苦笑

eteで好みのジュエリーが減ってしまいがっかりしていたので、同じ博多阪急にあるヴァンドーム青山へ。

1月に購入したダイヤモンドのネックレス、シリーズでリングとブレスレットを発売になったので、早速見せて貰いました💎

熊本県の象徴・くまモンがいる熊本市にやって来ました。 久しぶりと思って調べてみたら、去年のＧＷ以来でした。 今日は諸々の所用でやってきましたが用件もスムーズに終了、鶴屋百貨店の地下のフードコートでハンバーグlunchをいただきました。 この物価高のご時世に1,000円でお釣りが出

特にハーフエタニティのようなリング(中央)、キラキラ感が凄いけれど、お値段も負けじと凄い…。

左のリングは以前、amebaブログで買った人のを読んで気になっていて、こちらも気になって着用させてもらいました。

旅行も行きたいけれど、これも欲しい！笑 品番を控えてもらってから、博多を後にしました。 また月曜日から頑張って働かないと💪

これを投稿しながら旅するルルルン、購入するのを忘れていたことに気付きました😭💦 そして、今回も神社参拝後の頭痛がツライです…😢

So I've just started reading this book and two chapters in, I'm already glued to the story.

It's about a fictional convenience store called "Tenderness" (as you see on the cover above), which is like a blend of Japanese convenience stores LAWSON and Family Mart.

It feels like a relaxing slice of life jdrama which introduces you to the various characters working and visiting the store, and the life happenings and the shenanigans they get caught up in.

While the store is fictional, the location is real, it's at Mojiko Retro in Kitakyushu of Kyushu, which is near Fukuoka. As the book title says, the store is by the sea, which is Sea of Japan, facing Busan (Korea).

Not sure if the characters are the same for every chapter or show different ones each chapter, but so far there are three characters I find interesting. Shiba, Tsugi and Mitsuri.

Shiba is the store manager who is described to be very good looking and charming that it draws wild crowd of screaming women craving for his attention, which is hilarious like an anime.

Tsugi is the mysterious resident's "handyman" who looks shady with his messy hair and beard, driving around his mini van with junks on it, who solves everyone's problems when the situation calls for it.

Mitsuri is the married woman who works part time at the store and finds Shiba and Tsugi intriguing (not in a romantic way), wondering why one is so charming and why one is so mysterious.

If they were to make a live adaptation jdrama, I imagine it would be like Call Me Chihiro. And Kasumi Arimura easily comes for the role of Mitsuri, with Tomoya Nakamura as Shiba and Go Ayano as Tsugi.

Interestingly, Kasumi Arimura and Tomoya Nakamura acted together in Ishiko and Haneo, where they have a sibling like chemistry, with their endless bantering and her poking her nose into everything.

Tomoya Nakamura also acted as a convenience store chain director in A Warmed Up Love.

Go Ayano's role in Tokyo Swindlers also convinced me he's perfect as Tsugi, whom, Mitsuri described as not bad looking if it wasn't for his messy hair and beard, and gloomy looking outlook.

EDITED

Read another chapter which revolves around four students, whose characters and personalities reminds me of Great Teacher Onizuka Remake.

Mizuki, the leader of the girls group in school who is an overachiever and expect others to be like her (both students and teachers) or follow her at least. She reminds me of Haruna Kawaguchi's character.

Azusa, Mizuki's close friend. She's not as "smart" and "bold" as Mizuki and seen by other girls as Mizuki's shadows, following everything she says even when she has a heart of her own to follow. She reminds me of Yua Shinkawa's character.

Kanako, the one who always snitch on other girls to get in a better position with Mizuki, and probably see Azusa as a threat, wanting to get rid of her so she could take her place. She reminds me of Honda Tsubasa's character.

Nyatu, the outcast who is the unpopular girl in class with her own family problems that becomes the target of Mizuki and her gang. Azusa wants to befriend her but don't dare out of fear of Mizuki. She reminds me of Mariya Nishiuchi's character.

So far the book feels like a number of jdramas that I have watched, bundled into one and I love it!

I am probably going to write an analysis on Ryo at some point as well. Specifically on his canonicity, why there are different Ryos, and all of that. And I mean, I do very much still love the Wonderswan kid best, but I also find Tamers!Ryo (despite him being Tamers' Hikari) kinda fascinating. Especially in how the fandom kinda tends to ignore two central things about him: a) he is 14 years old (while everyone else is 10), and b) that he is from Kitakyushu, not from Tokyo. He is living about 1000km away from everyone else. His father picked him up via car when Ryo returned to the real world. They would have been traveling 10-12 hours. Even with a Shinkansen it would have been like 5 or so hours.
