Hello there! This week I was very busy, so I couldn't update my journal'€¦


I must say that recently I am very close to Kimura... she is very funny and cute. I am very lucky that I met her. Despite the fact that sometimes she feels inferior, because my family has nobility. I hate that and even more the fact that Mama always refers to it when we talk about Kimura. What's so wrong??

Anyway, the last month courses in the creation of perfect flower bouquets are almost over. Yoki-san says that I can easily combine the colors and the different varieties of the flowers in order to create a balanced & colorful flower bouquet. I am very proud since my family believes that it's very important asset for a future wife. Here is my latest work!

Of course I exhibited my bouquets in the Hanami ([font=Fixedsys]花見[font=Century Gothic]). It is a flower festival where all the family members participate and enjoy the flowers. Needless to say that there are also games, concerts, folk dance, parades and kimono shows. Furthermore, the next day the flower of the family or in other words the daughter stays for a day with another family. I really enjoyed the festival and I had a very good time with my friends! However, the next day was even more interesting since I spent it with Kimura's family!


Kimura's parents were very kind and thankful. I actually lost the count of how many times they told me that they were honored for choosing their house. The following morning, along with Kimura's mama we went to the Saga Library. It was a huge building which was filled up with books. She told us that if you are looking for something, the book is your best companion. I still don't understand what she meant... Some hours later - and after I bought some history and literature books which I will read them later this week - Keiichi Takahashi-sama, Kimura's father accompanied us in a restaurant where we got our lunch. Afterwards, we went to a space tourism office where we booked 3 positions for a tour in Kyushu System. I can't describe with words how much excited I was. Kimura was also very excited. I've never left Planet Kyushu, so this was a unique moment!

After we launched we orbited Planet Kyushu for a while. Even though I've seen it many times in simulations, the reality was undoubtedly touching. The northern island in this photo is the Saga Prefecture. I live in the eastern part of that island.

Afterwards we moved near the suns of the system. Even though I knew the story I was never satisfied listening to it again and again. There is a legend among the people of Kyushu. When the Planet Aso lines up with the 2 suns of the system they create the Kimono Line and a red ray of light lights up the sky in Kyushu. The blue dwarf symbolizes the vast oceans of Planet Kyushu, the green dwarf symbolizes the land and the gas giant, Planet Aso, symbolizes the air. So when this phenomenon takes place and the 3 elements are combined, it is said that a great man will arrive. Usually, that day is chosen by the Emperor to formally visit Kyushu. However it happens once in 100 years, so some Emperors never made it during their reign. Ahh how much I admire the Emperor... He is the power that unites the House. Anyway, here is the photo I took from the Kimono Line. Scientists say that in 15 years the 3 objects will be completely lined up.

Some hours later we moved near the asteroid field in the east and then we returned to Planet Kyushu. First time I enjoyed a trip so much. Now that I am thinking about it.. I wish I had more freedom'€¦

This is it, I am closing the recording, Mama is calling.
