Well, this is a voice diary, so ... Hehe, here goes! I'll attach a few pictures as I go along, I suppose. I have to be as. thorough. as. possible. I don't want to forget anything important! Ah... I guess I'll start with the basics that every Chrysanthemum knows. The youth (me) is encouraged to experiment with new ideas, try different things, and to form an opinion for ourselves with information we collect. Well, I am going to do that. I am putting my foot through the door and going out on, well... On an adventure! It's going to be so much fun. I can't wait to witness new things, meet new people! Tehe... Oh! I earned my rights to fly today! And... I've already packed my things! I think I am ready... I hope so. I don't want to forget anything.
Uhm... That's about it for today. I'm gonna sleep for a bit, say good bye to Mom, and head out in the morning. Maybe I'll go visit Dad tomorrow, no. Not tomorrow. Soon, though. I miss him. I've never been to where he lives before. Oh well.

Today, Dairy-san, has been... Most... Tiring. I'm s-still a little shaken up from it. I... I started today kissing Mom goodbye, and accepting the luck offered from my sisters... Then launched and headed out. It was quiet for a long time. Kyushu, Shikoku, guess I was heading toward Liberty. Supposed to be a nice place full of nice people who... Have Liberties! I... I don't know. It ... wasn't. I'm getting ahead of myself. In Galileo I noticed that I had forgotten to bring Cardamine! I ... Couldn't find any on Leiden, Padua, Rochester... Fortunately, a Junker pointed me toward a hidden Liberty Rogue Destroyer that had some to spare. I really don't like the Rogues, they're... Cruel, and... Ugh. Just gross. But... A need is a need. I took 16 units for myself, then headed back toward Rochester, eventually into Colorado. I met the Xenos, there.... They... They... Tried to kill me! I ran for my life! I can't fight... I can barely fly as it is, even if I could... My ship isn't up to it... I just... I was so scared. They were really going to kill me if they caught me! ... Fortunately, I managed to flee into Ontario, then California, and then Cortez where I convinced them I would never come back to Liberty. Scary people... I finally jumped from Cortez to Magellan and found... A lot of Lane Hackers! Phate was there... Who wasn't heard of Phate? Tehe... He was kind of cute~. Hehe... Err... Oh yeah! I tried to ... Well, stick with him but he disappeared so... I went on my way, sort of up towards Dad. I don't know... I ended up in Coronado. I'm... Resting here. I think I should find out why that... Guy tried to shoot me.
