Sophie's Blog

Sophie's Blog was a promotional blog published in Japan from 2005-2007. It is written from the perspective of Sophie. Its official title is ベログ ("Belog"), a pun on Sophie's Japanese name, "Bebe," and "blog." It retells certain events from Chibi-Robo! Plug Into Adventure!, remarks on how the household members are doing after the game, and shares excerpts from Mrs. Sanderson's college diary. Because it came out before the release of Chibi-Robo! Park Patrol, it also mentions real-life promotional events for that game, which Sophie claims to have attended in-person.

August 2005

August 24

Month Day
Sophie is excited, because today is the first day I write for this blog.
Lately, it's more popular to write on a PC than in a diary.
When Sophie was taking a walk in the entryway, I heard the Free Rangers gossiping about me.
“She jumps into new fads so quickly…”
But, but, Sophie is a girl who lives in the now!
From the pen to the era of the keyboard.
Just, please, don't look at me slamming into the keyboard like this...
Anyway, love letters mean more than emails, and I would like to hand a letter over directly...
Kyaaa! I said it!

August 25

Month Day
Today, Dinah fell from the loft in Mama and Papa's room and broke apart.
While on my walk, I tried to sneak a peek.
It was amazing. She had fallen apart amazingly.
But it's her job to fall apart, right?
Is it cold of Sophie to think like that?
This summer is so hot.
Sophie looks up to cool women. I want to be like that.

August 26

Month Day
The hot days continue.
Mama has already declared that the family needs to conserve energy.
Chibi-Robo tried to cool Papa down with his Chibi-Copter, but Mama was still mad because that also used up electricity.
Now they just do it behind her back...
Seeing what Papa did, Peekoe said it was worth it to use energy to train, and they began turning red on the kitchen stove.
It looks so hot I want to stop it, but at least it makes for a good story.
Ah, Sophie needs to be cool.

August 29

Month Day
By the way, this is the time of year to be busy with summer homework, but Jenny is still sleeping.
Because Sophie is a toy, I must not move when the family is nearby. But I think it's lonely when no one is around. So I like when no one is home and when everyone is home.
Does it make Sophie a bad woman to take a walk around the entrance behind their back?
But what can you do?
I think that's the Free Ranger's job anyway!!
I won't fall victim to the temptation of summer!

August 30

Month Day
Actually, it was hectic a few days ago.
Because the “Nintendo Official Guidebook of Chibi-Robo” launched, photographers came and took lots of photos of the Sanderson family.
Sophie wanted a normal picture, and they asked me to just act natural.
I don't know if they used Sophie's photos... But the thought makes my heart beat with excitement.
Is it okay to be exposed like that to the public before getting married?
One day, bride Sophie will say...
Kya! That's embarrassing!
“If someday, I'm married to you, Drake Redcrest...”
Oh no, I said the word!

August 31

Month Day
Thinking about yesterday's diary entry, I wrote about “Nintendo Official Guidebook of Chibi-Robo,” but what is it exactly?
I overheard Funky Phil's dance music in Mama and Papa's bedroom, and a moody Enka song. I found out after sneaking upstairs and peeking in that they were recording a soundtrack CD as a bonus for the book!
I'm surprised that there will be a music CD in a book. It's a great book, right?
Then Telly came out of the bedroom and said, “I'll pick up the sound of the Sanderson household, so just act natural.” How exciting!
Well, saying it so suddenly, uh, um...
Before I knew it, the recording session was over.
Sophie, did you do your CD debut properly?

September 2005

September 1

Month Day
Today I was at the mercy of Tao again.
Though I've noticed that lately Tao's drool dries in a matter of seconds, which is at least better than in winter.
I've seen frogs drying up in the garden.
When Papa is watering the garden, it feels very cool, but his stomach must be hot. But talking about such things is no good.
It's just not attractive.
Speaking of, summer is the season of love!!
As for Sophie's summer experience......, Kya!
The summer isn't over yet!

September 2

Month Day
The summer heat is as severe as ever.
Jenny is still wearing her frog hat. Isn't it hot?
Sophie worries that she might collapse.
Sophie has known Jenny since she was born, and she didn't have a frog head when she was born.
How long has she been wearing that frog hat?
Today Sophie had a fashionable talk with Princess Pitts, but sometimes I have to remove myself from such things.
That's right. Or maybe I'm just stuffy.
But my head being stuffy is good protection against sunstroke. Health matters most, right?

September 5

Month Day
Speaking of the best moments of summer, Sophie saw an outdoor concert in the garden!
The summer festival traditionally begins with fireworks, and at the end is Drake Redcrest's Step Judgement!
A superhero has super rhythm.
It was very nice, but can Sophie match with such a wonderful person......?
It's okay.
Maybe not now, but someday!!

September 6

Month Day
Today, Sophie was laying around, barely conscious due to the heat. But Telly saw me and said, “Sophie, there are no family members around.”
It was very embarrassing for Sophie.
I think if Telly didn't say something, Drake might have helped me, so I'm a bit upset.
No, no.
A lady must always smile.
It would be embarrassing to try to make him help me on purpose!
......Maybe if I had someone's help.......

September 7

Month Day
I fell off the stairs three times today.
Just another day.

September 8

Month Day
I can definitely say that Princess Pitts is like a sister to Sophie, but are you serious? Huh? No way!
Princess Pitts and Mort together? Ah! Sophie has no words!
Princess Pitts is a wonderful sister, but isn't Mort scary?
Could Sophie be misunderstanding the situation?
When I looked into Jenny's room, I could see a bandage-wrapped figure going into a coffin.
But I haven't heard anything about a bad reputation.
One can't judge based on appearances.
Sophie will do her best.

September 9

Month Day
The season is changing, so it seems that everyone is tired.
Still, Sophie can't give up taking walks around the entrance for beauty.
But today, I saw Chibi-Robo was sitting down, resting!
Robots are tired too......
It looked somewhat melancholy.
I felt that I shouldn't say anything. I was watching quietly, and then Telly flew over.
More and more, I felt I should not disturb the relationship of those two by speaking.
Speaking of, I often see Chibi-Robo fall down in the middle of the room......
Is he okay?

September 12

Month Day
Although Sophie never changes clothes, Chibi-Robo sometimes changes costumes.
Every time I see Chibi-Robo change clothes, I am surprised. It's bad for my heart.
However, the recycled pajamas that Mama made look wonderful, and I'm jealous.
I heard that Mama had three patterns that Chibi-Robo could choose between.
I've come to expect the painful household budget, but now I finally understand it.
Apparently, one of the fabric choices is Papa's underw..., No, Sophie, I won't write about that anymore!
If the fabric Chibi-Robo chose was Papa's...
Well, that would change the way Sophie sees Chibi-Robo.
I hope it isn't true.

September 13

Month Day
There's always something going on in the Sanderson house, but today was another lively one.
During my walk, I heard a loud noise from Jenny's room. When I peeked in, I saw Sunshine was rampaging.
Sunshine's pink appearance is cute, but there was a feeling about him that made Sophie uncomfortable.
I usually don't see such a violent figure.
Yeah, that wasn't the Sunshine I know.
He seems possessed or something...
Sophie was so scared, I felt a chill in my spine!
Um, please don't ask where Sophie's spine is. It's rude to ask a lady such a thing.

September 14

Month Day
What to do! My heart is beating like mad!!
Today, today......
Oh, it's hopeless.
When I try to write about it, my fingers shake......
Ah, Sophie doesn't even have fingers!

September 15

Month Day
Overnight, I calmed down.
Yesterday I was overwhelmed.
Sophie didn't do anything.
I was startled yesterday because I caught a glimpse of Drake in the living room.
That alone filled Sophie with happiness.
Drake Redcrest was doing his usual patrols.
Please come rescue Sophie again soon!
Save Sophie from this love trap!
Kya---! Is this singsong behavior okay?

September 16

Month Day
The night breeze has felt comfortable lately. It'll be autumn soon.
I've been thinking about the sentimental journey of autumn.
Sophie wonders about past memories.
Yes, I'll tell the long-awaited story of the days since Chibi-Robo came to the Sanderson family.
After all, Sophie's memories of love have never before been recorded!

September 20

Month Day
Jenny's birthday was today.
They had the party a little ways away, but I still celebrated from the gap in the kitchen door.
Sophie has known Jenny since she was born, so it was a perfect attendance award!
Though maybe Sophie was a bit insincere about celebrating Jenny. Drake Redcrest was on TV, so I kept glancing at it.
Kya! I would only tell that secret here!
Mama gave her a ladylike hat.
That ruffian Tao gave her a bone.
The nerve of it, who'd give a bone to a lady?
But it looked like it made Jenny happy, so it made me a little happy too.
Oh yeah, and Papa made Mama upset again.
Just like always......

September 21

Month Day
At night, Sophie was writing in my diary like usual, acting as a door stopper between the kitchen and living room.
I felt the intense gaze of someone, so I closed my diary and screamed.
Looking back, it had been a long time since I had made such a loud sound.
In all the time I've been in the Sanderson house, it was my first unpleasant experience......
The one doing the gazing was a silver-bodied robot that seemed familiar.
That's right, it was the one Papa gave as a gift for Jenny's birthday.
Since it was small, I didn't get a close look.
In any case, it didn't seem to be a bad person, so I said hello.

September 22

Month Day
Chibi-Robo has a manager named Telly Vision.
It's the first time I've ever heard the word “manager,” but it seems like those two people are very close.
Sophie also wants to be someone's manager... oh!
If I could be by that person's side around the clock......
No, that's impossible!
At least, I want to have enough time to write in my diary.

September 26

Month Day
Ah, I can feel my heart beating like mad.
Chibi-Robo, you seem to be very close to Mr. Redcrest......
Pay no attention to Sophie!!
Ha!
Just now, I felt like something black was swirling in my heart.
This feeling is really strange......

September 27

Month Day
It seems that Sophie had really run to a conclusion back there.
Actually, I cannot run because I have no legs.
Chibi-Robo is wearing the same style as Drake Redcrest because he is helping with the patrol.
There's no reason to be upset about the fact that they have matching outfits.
What if Sophie and......
I grabbed Telly when he flew in front of me to ask him about it, and apparently that ugly feeling was “jealousy.”
Sophie, you are scary.

September 28

Month Day
Recently I heard the word “ringtone.”
Sophie's song would be a lady's melody, a Melady.
It's a song that flows in Sophie's head whenever I see Drake.
I want to share it with you, but unfortunately only Sophie can hear it.
Yes, it's even impossible for Mr. Redcrest...
Fuhuhu......

September 29

Month Day
Sophie had a dream recently.
And, I could remember it clearly when I woke up.
Next time, I'll write a dream diary entry.
However, recently I've had doubts about the word “dream.”
After all, if it comes true, it's not a dream......
What! If it comes true! It's just a story, you know.

September 30

Month Day
Sophie is worried.
Just by coincidence, I met someone at the Sanderson household. It was a wonderful defender of justice named Drake Redcrest. I fell in love at first sight. But what's this!!
Drake was Sophie's long-lost brother.
Fate is cruel to Sophie.
What is destiny saying to me?
But, Drake still doesn't know the truth......
Today, he asked Sophie out on a date.
Ah, if I didn't know, Sophie would happily accept!
Every time Sophie refuses, I bow my head and turn my back from y-o-u.
It's painful to see Drake like this.
......That was the dream I had.

October 2005

October 3

Month Day
Come to think of it, Sophie was so surprised, I moved into the kitchen without permission.
You can't break the rules of the toy world; it's just, just, just a bad thing to do!
Actually, if a family member catches you, a good idea is to pretend to be thrown by Tao......
But, but, such a thing would make me ashamed to face the defender of justice, Drake Redcrest.
Sophie would be a villain and be captured.
My heart has been captured already. What more could Drake want from Sophie?
A greedy one!

October 4

Month Day
I would have preferred to be trapped in the space between the living room and kitchen.
Today, I was used as Tao's toy again.
I wanted to go for a walk around the entrance, but I couldn't get away.
I still feel dizzy.

October 5

Month Day
Today, Drake brought Sophie a beautiful flower.
Sophie is a bad woman for turning him down over and over again.
Though, truthfully, I like it.
Thus, I decided to tell the truth.
Sophie and Drake Redcrest are siblings.
Then, he said adieu, put down the flower, and left without another word.
But, the peace of the Sanderson family is kept well-guarded.
Drake Redcrest's love......
Well, for two people to be at the mercy of fate is dreamy.
I'm entranced.
Truthfully, it would be sad if Sophie and Drake had such a fate.
It is good to keep these things only in your imagination!

October 6

Month Day
Today, I glanced over at where Mama and Chibi-Robo were having tea together.
Certainly, Sophie does not make a good companion for Mama because I cannot translate for her, but, as a new family member, I think it's good for Chibi-Robo to get along with her in this way.
But, but!!
Wait, isn't that too bold?
Even though you and Telly seem to be good friends, you are having tea time alone with her!
While peeping at them, Sophie could feel her heart pounding for some reason.
By the way, when Sophie and Mr. Redcrest make tea, and I put in some sugar, it should be sweet.

October 7

Month Day
Oh, right, last night I heard a strange noise.
Remember, I'm speaking of the time when Chibi-Robo came to the Sanderson family.
Is this... Maybe... Chibi-Robo's snoring?
Now that I think of it, I heard the sound even when I was near him, so it seems the source is not Chibi-Robo. Hmph.
But, because it's still unclear, I thought I'd have Chibi-Robo check before asking for Mr. Redcrest's help.

October 11

Month Day
I haven't seen Mama in the kitchen lately.
What could be wrong......?
When I'm walking by the entrance, I want to go look in her room.
But, Tao seems to be standing in front of her room, so I don't want to go any closer.
But, Sophie is worried about you, Mama.

October 12

Month Day
Sophie is a transfer student.
This morning was the first day I was to go to school, but I lost my way and was late!
When I finally saw the school gate, Sophie ran as fast as I could.
Then, when I turned the corner, everything went dark, and then I saw something in front of me that seemed to twinkle and shine.......
It may seem like something beautiful, but Sophie had actually fallen on somebody!
I instinctively took the hand that was outstretched to me, but who is this in front of me!!
(To-be-continued)

October 13

Month Day
“Hey, are you okay, young lady?”
It was a nice gentleman!
It was the first time Sophie had touched a gentleman, and I was so nervous I suddenly let go of his hand.
Even though I had acted so rudely, he still smiled.
Strictly speaking, I could not see his expression because he was wearing a mask, but it was definitely a smile!!
Then, mercifully, kiin kon kaan kon... The school chime rang out!!
“Oops, sorry, I'll be late!” He jumped high into the air, and the moment he neared the ground he made a mad dash toward the school gate.
(To-be-continued)

October 14

Month Day
Recently, I realized I couldn't hear that nightly strange sound.
Apparently, Chibi-Robo solved the problem without needing Mr. Redcrest's help.
Chibi-Robo has also become a member of the Sanderson family.
Now, I can rest well in the evening's prime beauty sleep period.
......Well, Sophie always thought about Drake Redcrest, and the excitement gave me insomnia for a year!

October 17

Month Day
I don't know whether or not he can fly, but Sophie was just watching that person's back.
After that, I got lost in the school building and was very late on my first day. Then, the teacher stood me in front of the class.
I have no legs, but I stood.
Even though it was the first day, Sophie's heart was full of thoughts of the gentleman from earlier, rather than thoughts of the class.
Then, the teacher pushed the classroom door open.
(To-be-continued)

October 18

Month Day
It's an a-a-a-a-affair!!
I don't think I will be seeing Mama......
Apparently Papa made Mama angry like usual, and Mama locked herself in her room.
Because of that, Papa is now in the kitchen.
Men, your unbroken vow should be that you never enter the kitchen.
From the time I joined the family, this is the first time I've seen Papa cooking.
Is this okay?

October 19

Month Day
Everyone, quick... try to fix Mama's mood quickly...
If it continues this way, Sophie is going to end up black with burnt hamburger soot.
Not to mention, if Sophie starts smelling so burnt, it'll invite Tao's bite attack.

October 20

Month Day
It looks like everyone is staring.
Feeling shy, Sophie introduced myself in front of the blackboard while staring at the ground.
Then, Sophie went to take a seat where the teacher pointed.
The class mixed men and women, so a boy sat next to me.
This is my first co-ed class, so Sophie is very nervous.
When I sat down, the boy next to me offered his hand and spoke in a clear voice.
The voice was fresh in my memory, and the hand was familiar......!
Sophie's heart almost came out of her mouth.
“Hey, it was dangerous earlier.
I am Drake Redcrest. Nice to meet you!”
(To-be-continued)

October 21

Month Day
Wh... Wh-wh-wh-what, the one sitting next to Sophie is Drake Redcrest!!
Already, it seems that Sophie's eyes have become hearts.
One day, I fell in love because of a sudden head-on collision at a corner.
So, thanks to Drake, Sophie got used to the new school and attended happily everyday.

......I wanted to meet Drake Redcrest like that.
Please, at least let me enjoy it in my dreams!

October 24

Month Day
Even during the Sanderson's family emergency, the unexpectedly appearing Peekoe seems unbothered in his meditation.
The Free Rangers seem to be resuming their training as usual.
The dazzling Drake Redcrest looks so dignified on his patrols.
Are men not rattled by marital feuds?
Should Sophie follow Peekoe's example and seek to unify my spirit?
I'm worried about whether Jenny is eating properly.

October 26

Month Day
It's unusually rainy.
When I looked in the garden, Mr. Frog was dancing happily.
The idea of dancing in front of people makes Sophie so embarrassed she could faint, but watching it is fun.
Funky Phil's dancing is a bit too intense for Sophie.
The flowers in the garden seemed happy to dance in the rain.

October 27

Month Day
As always, Mama remains in her room.
Papa was watering the garden today.
I suddenly realized the weeds that had grown in the backyard were gone.
Was Chibi-Robo weeding?
I could see a pattern on the ground where the weeds were.
I've seen that somewhere before.......
What is it?

October 28

Month Day
Today, when I was taking my usual crawl around the entrance, I saw strangers that looked like spiders!
Sophie tried to greet them, but I was a little upset because they didn't respond. It seems Sandersons are ignoring them, so I stood to the side and watched them.
Because the garden window is always left open, they may be coming in from there.

October 31

Month Day
Apparently, those spiders are called “spydorz.”
Sunshine, who was in a good mood, said he saw it on the news.
They seem to have appeared in many homes recently.
It's unusual for the Sanderson family to be on the cutting age of the latest craze!

November 2005

November 1

Month Day
Ah, testing, testing.
This was a microphone check.
So, hello, my name is Sophie.
To widen my view beyond the Sanderson household, I am trying to learn English.
But to everyone else it's a se-cr-et.
Because, I'm embarrassed to admit I'm aiming for Hollywood!
If I make it......
Then, I would like to walk the red carpet with Drake Redcrest!

November 2

Month Day
Today, Chibi-Robo was surrounded by spydorz.

They're completely harmless to Sophie and the Sanderson family.......
Chibi-Robo, what grudges have you provoked?
This is why you shouldn't depend on someone's outward appearance.
You look like a good person, Chibi-Robo.

November 4

Month Day
Sophie thinks this really stinks!!
Today, Chibi-Robo suddenly flipped my skirt.
Yes, of course I know Sophie doesn't wear a skirt.
But blowing wind at a maiden with a syringe is equivalent to skirt-flipping!
It doesn't matter if I'm wearing one or not!!

Sophie, kya! I cried aloud and was forced to suffer mentally.
If you're going to be such a rude person, I hope those spydorz beat you up!

November 7

Month Day
Sophie is depressed today.
I'm sick.
My heart is pounding and I can't calm it.
This is a chronic disease.
But I don't care.
Love is misunderstood.
Drake Redcrest is on top of the TV.
Yes, love can come from above the TV.
I didn't see him today.......
Don't confuse sentimental with centimeters.

November 14

Month Day
Haa~ I've finally been released.......
That's what I heard when I accidentally called Princess Pitts from the phone in Jenny's room.
How many days have you been stuck in there?
Sophie is feeling dejected.......
For the time being, I don't have the energy to write a diary entry.

November 24

Month Day
Fuuu.
As the end of the year approaches, it gets kind of busy.
Is that just the mood around now?
The fact is, Sophie needs to learn how to speak English, and the Sandersons are in a fuss lately.

That's why I can't afford to write for this blog daily.......
It's not that I have no material to write about because I wander around the same places everyday!!
Well, that's seriously what I've come to suspect.

Anyway, the season's shifted from autumn to winter.......
Sophie wants to warm her heart, y-e-s!
Like a bug flying toward light, Sophie wants to fly away.

November 29

Month Day
Um, um, Sophie heard that there's no need to learn English.
It's a relief.......
Because there are many skills Sophie can polish before learning a language!
So I still keep busy every day.

“I want to rely on you when I go abroad.”

If you can do everything, that's a loss!

December 2005

December 6

Month Day
The other night, I looked out the window and saw beautiful electric lights.
Yes, it's already Christmas time.
The Christmas decorations are very beautiful around here.
I think I've been staring at the twinkling for too long, because even when I look away I still see twinkling.
But, when I watch the beautiful lights, it feels very romantic.
If Drake Redcrest were to fly in a sled......
My very own Santa!!

Oh, and it seems that the Sanderson family hasn't set up a tree or any decorations for Christmas.
That's tough.

December 13

Month Day
The other day, Telly told me something.
“Sophie, it may be too late now, but usually blogs have features like trackbacks and comments.”
Of course, Chibi-Robo's managener knows everything.
Tch!
Sophie knows that much!
They think Sophie is some 15-year-old girl who doesn't know anything, but I'm ready to transform into a lady butterfly at any time......Hah.......

Well, you may ask why Sophie doesn't use such a useful feature, then.

Because any number of people besides Drake Redcrest could interact with it if it's on the internet, and it'd be impossible to tell!

The trackback is reserved for Drake alone.

December 27

Month Day
Hi~ Everyone
What kind of Christmas did you have?
The Sanderson family seemed to have a handmade theme this year.
They really seem to be cutting back.......
But it's nice to make things by hand.
Sophie thinks of Drake Redcrest with every stitch, every stitch, knitting a muffler.......

“Grazie! Hunter Sophie!
As expected of the second Space Hunter!
Please make a pair for public and private use, Bambina!”
“O-o-o-of course! If it's what you want......”

I'm glad I get to knit a scarf rather than a pair of sneakers.
No, it's better to knit a long muffler.
I can wrap myself in it with Drake Redcrest!
Oh no, it's wrapped up even more!
To Drake Redcrest's neck!!

Well, I was just thinking about that.......
Christmas.......
But I have a plan for next Christmas!
Sophie will use positive thinking next year!

January 2006

January 5

Month Day
Happy new year~.
Even though it's the new year, the Sanderson family hasn't changed at all.
It's great that the usual peace continues.
Everyone is always at home.
Won't you ever go out?
Occasionally, when you're away, Sophie can stretch her wings a little.
I don't even have wings!
...I don't need to be the straight man and point out the joke.

Also, the Spydorz are still wandering around.
They seem to have no particular impact on the Sandersons.
At least, for now?
Sophie thought up her new year's resolution.
But it's a secret!
Because...... It's too embarrassing.
Because, because, it's the same aspiration as last year.......
Sophie, don't be discouraged!

Everyone, thank you again this year.

January 13

Month Day
It's so freezing cold every day that I can't feel my hands or feet.
(I'm tired of hearing that I don't have hands and feet.)

On such a cold day, I'd love to snuggle up with that person in front of the fireplace.......
But, the Sanderson's fireplace is just a decoration.

Speaking of, I remember a dreadful experience with a fireplace!

When everyone was gathered in front of the fireplace to warm ----.

Tao, who was busily chewing on Sophie, swung her around with such force he almost threw Sophie into the fire!
Sophie, that was a close call!!
Papa caught Sophie just in time, and saved my life.

Since I haven't confessed my feelings, Sophie can't yet turn to ash!
Every day is cold, but beware of fire.

January 20

Month Day
Worried about Mama, who is still locked away, Tao spends the night sleeping in front of her bedroom.
As if aiming for a chance to assassinate Tao as he slept, the Free Rangers stood watch all night long.
Thank you for your hard work, late into the night.......
I'd rather have you keep an eye on Tao all the time, but it seems like Tao's strength has left the free rangers battered before.
Sophie is always covered in drool, but it seems like one of the Free Rangers was kidnapped by Tao and is missing.

Hey! If Sophie had been in that situation!!

Just the thought of being far from Drake Redcrest is scary.
Compared to that, am I wrong to be happy just to be covered in drool?

January 30

Month Day
I-I-I, I saw it!
With eyes free of dirt and a clear mind, I saw it!
What exactly, a UFO.
Unidentified Flying Object, an unidentified flying object!
I could see it from the second story window.
I told Mort and he was so frightened he shut himself away in his coffin house.
Princess Pitts laughed and didn't believe me.......

Ah, if I had a camera on hand it would have been a super scoop!!
But, Sophie couldn't push the shutter--!

February 2006

February 3

Month Day
Sophie, it's amazing.
Somehow, the UFO was called by Chibi-Robo.
At night, I saw a light in the garden, so I watched in horror.
In a kind of ritualistic fashion, Chibi-Robo took out an antennae from his head and spun it around, and, as if called by that sound, a UFO appeared.

I didn't know.......
Chibi-Robo was an alien.......

Is it okay if I tell you that?
Actually, that means there's a chance he could be Drake Redcrest's enemy.
Ah, Sophie, maybe you saw something you shouldn't have seen!!

February 10

Month Day
No good---, I'm- embarrassed-.
Sophie's been stuck, focused on her selfish, deluded assumptions all day.

Today, Chibi-Robo introduced the aliens to Sophie.
Chibi-Robo is not an alien.
From our conversation, it seems that they were people who came to the Sanderson family a long time ago.
Sophie's head is full of thoughts of Drake Redcrest, so I forget about things I'm not interested in.
Also, I feel like...
...Somehow, something's changed.

Anyway, I was relieved that he wasn't a bad guy or an enemy to Drake.
Rather, Sophie was just jumping to conclusions! Oopsies! <3

February 17

Month Day
Giga-Robo.......
Sophie had also completely forgotten about him.
When I asked why the aliens had come to the Sanderson family, I remembered his existence.
Looking back on it, it's been a while since that last time I saw him.
His large body moved, cleaning as he walked, and dust clouds billowed around him.
Where are you going? What are you doing?

Sophie isn't free to move in front of the family, so I just pray Chibi-Robo can reunite the aliens with Giga-Robo.

While we're at it, I pray that Sophie and Drake Redcrest can be brought together too.

A-h, if Sophie could speak so clearly, I'd want to say that--!
I can't say it, so I'll just write it here. Snif.

February 28

Month Day
I'm not sure whether Chibi-Robo joined the Free Rangers, but despite the many lively training sessions in the past, the Free Rangers seem to be acting strange for the past few days.

I briefly asked Telly Vision, and he said that Chibi-Robo's training was already complete, but I don't think that is the only reason for the dark mood.

Because that loudmouthed and annoying sergeant seems downhearted.

Sophie was always so nervous that the Sanderson family would hear that loud voice that she couldn't calm her heart, and it's so uncivilized, reckless, and terrible that I always hated it.......

But it's lonely not being able to hear it.

March 2006

March 3

Month Day
Could this have something to do with the reason the sergeant is depressed?
Recently I caught a rare sight, a Free Ranger in the kitchen.
Sophie isn't so childish to easily chat with men, so I don't know the story behind the situation.

Even if the other person were to talk to me, I wouldn't casually respond to a pick-up line.

Because, I wouldn't want Drake to see it and misunderstand.......

But, but, I'm concerned over the state of the Free Rangers!

A-h, it's so intriguing~. Surely, something is happening!

March 10

Month Day
So, there's something more worrisome than the sergeant's lack of energy!

Recently, the explosion from Drake Redcrest's determined pose has misfired!!

Drake, isn't this bad for your health......?

If you can't hear that gorgeous explosion, you won't know if Drake Redcrest is there!

Ah, no, I can still feel it with the power of love.
I'm just worried.
Such a dull noise isn't like him.......

Meanwhile, Chibi-Robo is still wandering around with the aliens.
What a carefree person.

March ??

Month Day
The Sanderson family hasn't seen Mama in so long that they're starting to get used to it.

Jenny's drawings are either of aliens or an angry Mama.

I think I can sympathize with Jenny's feelings; if there was no place for Sophie, I would also feel lonely.

Currently, in the Sanderson family, I'm not sure exactly, but something bad is going to happen, something, because I can feel a disturbing atmosphere.......

Ha! I shouldn't think about such sinister things!
At least, you should try to be as bright and beautiful as possible!
Ah, I'm no match for big sister Princess Pitts' beauty!
I'll make sure to correct that.......

April 2006

April 7

Month Day
When I woke up this morning, I was in Egypt.

April 13

Month Day
Sophie should be in the Sanderson family kitchen, but instead I'm in Egypt, and I can see the pyramids and sphinx in the distance.
I've seen this scenery on TV, but the mysterious thing is that there is no Chibi-Robo, Jenny, or Mama here, in ancient Egypt.
It looks like Sophie slipped through time from the Sanderson family to ancient Egypt!

Anyway, I was crawling around the desert with a dry throat, wondering how to return to the Sanderson family, when I found an oasis far away.
On the shore, I approached the dazzling, sparkling water, ignoring everything else, and there I found.......

April 21

Month Day
Wh-what Sophie thought was an oasis that she was approaching turned out to be Drake Redcrest.
After all, Drake is like an oasis for Sophie~, but I can't just be happy to be immersed in the situation.
When he looked at Sophie, he cried out to her.
“I'll make this one my wife!”

That's right, Drake Redcrest was not a space hunter, but the king of Egypt!
It seems that Sophie's charm has echoed across time to reach Drake!
I'm embarrassed, but I'm happy~ to say I'm so glad, what will happen next!
With the Drake here and the Drake there......!!
Aah!

April 27

Month Day
Sophie has decided.
I don't know how I got here, so there's no way for me to get back.
And regardless of how different the times are, how could I refuse Drake's proposal?
Thinking of how I'll never see the Sanderson's again, I find myself missing them.
But, but...... Sophie chooses to live here!
Next to King Redcrest, I'll bloom like a flower in Egypt to soothe the hearts of the people!!
I decided......, yes, I decided.
Goodbye, Sanderson family......, goodbye, Space Hunter Drake Redcrest.......

May 2006

May 2

Month Day
So, what is the role of the queen of Egypt?
Then, awaking with a start, I found myself in the usual Sanderson kitchen.

Well, even though it was a dream, I abandoned Space Hunter Drake Redcrest......, please forget that happened!!

Sophie's heart is only for the Drake that is under this one roof now!!
Eek---!

May 10

Month Day
Actually, I had a bit of a problem.

Not long ago--.
On my usual walk, I was in Papa and Mama's room trying to say hello to Dinah.
Then, Papa suddenly came into the room, so I dived into a pile of his discarded clothes in a hurry and hid quietly.
To keep the toy world's rules, moving around should be done in secret everyday, so that the family members don't see.
So, I have no doubts about the thing I had to do then.

Yes, it should've been a normal daily event, not worth mentioning in this diary.......

Now, Sophie seems to be tucked into Papa's suitcase with his clothes.
It's completely dark. It's cramped.

Chibi-Robo, please reopen this suitcase.......

May 12

Month Day
...I'm still in trouble.
How much time has passed?
I don't know if it's night or day in this darkness.

I remember there have been several shocking moments that felt like big earthquakes, but there's no doubt that Sophie is still in the suitcase.
However, what's most interesting is that Mama and Papa's voices, which I should have heard, have been lost.
Though it's not completely silent.
There's some kind of dull, groaning, humming sound I'm hearing now?
Have I ever heard such a loud sound in the Sanderson household?

While Sophie was in here, did something happen to the Sanderson family?
I'm worried.
Chibi-Robo, I wonder what you're doing?
Take Sophie out of the suitcase as soon as possible!!

May 17

Month Day
When the suitcase opened, I found myself in California.......

Yes, it seems that Sophie joined Papa's work trip.
But Papa never noticed he had Sophie!
I still don't know if it was good or bad luck, but with some trouble I managed to climb into Papa's bag to leave the hotel with him.
Are you surprised at such ridiculous and reckless behavior?
Is Sophie a little daring? It made my heart pound.
But, but, if there's ever any danger, Drake Redcrest will fly to you wherever you are!
Sophie believes that.

In the end, there were no scary events as we went out, but I was surprised.
Quickly, Sophie's eyes grew wide.

I saw Chibi-Robo in a land who knows how far away from the Sanderson family!!

There was a flood of loud sounds, and so many people I had never seen before, and the place was so big that it would never compare to the Sanderson household.
And there were many TVs big and small, with so many things projected that Mama, who always gets upset about electricity bills, would surely have something to say about it.
Many people gathered to each of them, forming mountains of people.

In the middle of all this, Sophie secretly peeked out of Papa's bag, and when I saw Chibi-Robo I reflexively spoke out loud, but I think the room was so noisy no one heard it.



But, but, how? Surely Chibi-Robo is at the Sanderson house!!

After that, I saw Chibi-Robo moving around in a small screen!!



It was a small compact box with a pen that moved around on it.
At that time, Sophie accidentally forgot she was in Papa's bag, so I leaned forward to get a better look, and Chibi-Robo should have been able to see me clearly, but he never seemed to notice Sophie.......
What was Chibi-Robo doing in such a small box?
Apparently, it was a place like a park.
Also, I couldn't see Telly Vision, who is always with him, inside and outside.
I'm sure Telly could have explained it to me.......
Speaking of, Chibi-Robo was silent, and Sophie never heard his voice.
It seems that no matter where you are, that silence doesn't change.

Anyway, Sophie didn't really understand what was happening, but it seemed like many people were taking turns touching the small box and pen.
According to one conversation I overheard, there were some people who touched the box for about an hour.
It looks very fun.

I wonder how Chibi-Robo got famous?
Non, non, he's no match for the hero of the universe, Drake Redcrest, right?

Kya, I remembered Drake again!

I don't know when I'll make it back to the Sanderson family, but Sophie will never forget Drake.
Speaking of which, both Sophie and Chibi-Robo are missing...... What if there is a fuss among the Sanderson family!
If Sophie is missing and Jenny is sad, that would trouble Sophie!
Though I'm glad to stay away from Tao, so Sophie doesn't get sticky from drool!!

Still, Papa seems to be having fun, with a smile that I don't always see at home, but Sophie wants to go home every time I remember Drake, Jenny, and Mama.

California is unexpectedly cold. Sniff.

May 24

Month Day
Here in California, how many days have passed?
Sophie doesn't know for sure because she was locked up in a suitcase in the beginning.
But, I'm worried about Papa, who seems to be growing bigger every day.
Listening quietly from the bag, I can overhear,
“While I'm away from troublesome Mama, I'll eat and drink de~lish food!”
Or,
“Ah, this is the toy I was looking for. Let's take it home secretly so Mama can't find it.”
Or,
“That game was fun~. I guess I'll buy it also~, as a souvenir for Jenny.”
It seems like he's really stretching his wings.
However, if you do too much shopping, there's no way Sophie will be able to fit into your suitcase on the return trip!!
I'll go back into the suitcase so I won't be left behind.

Anyway, you may be gleeful because Mama isn't around now, but I'm sure when you get home, you'll be found out and make Mama angry again......

Why did Mama marry the constantly-irritating Papa?
Are there grown-up reasons that Sophie doesn't know about yet?
When I get home, I'd like to take a closer look at Mama.
What is it she knows?

May 31

Month Day
I'm home~!!
That's right, Sophie has finally returned to the Sanderson family~.
As I feared, the inside of the suitcase was~ full to bursting just like Papa, but I was the opposite; when Sophie left the suitcase she was flattened to half her normal size.......
When I was released from the suitcase, I felt like I was fluttering~ in the air.
Still, over time I've made a smooth recovery, so rest assured that I've regained my usual round cuteness. <3

It goes without saying that when Papa returned, having gained both new toys and new weight, Mama was raising cain.
Moreover, Mama's only gift was a magnet with “HOLLYWOOD” written on it, making Sophie think OH! NO.

And she said, “You've just increased the number of invoices to pin to the fridge with this magnet!” adding insult to injury.

Oh yeah, and I'm pretty disappointed no one realized Sophie was gone!!
When I greet people with a “long time no see,” everyone gives me an expression like, “Has it been a while?”
Only Tao jumped to me right when he saw Sophie, so I wonder if when Tao didn't have Sophie, he was searching for me the whole time......?

Oh, these aren't tears!
It's drool, Tao's drool!!
Sophie isn't crying!

Also, no one has asked where Chibi-Robo is, but Sophie will keep the memory of him close.
The Chibi-Robo I saw in LA.
Where can I meet you again?

June 2006

June 13

Month Day
Sophie has been feeling funny since returning from LA.
I always get sleepy when I'm on my walks, or when I stare at Drake, my eyelids fall and I fall asleep.......

Apparently, this is called “jet lag.”
I asked Telly, who seems to know everything, about the time difference between here and California, but he said he didn't know because it is very difficult to calculate.

There's something even Telly doesn't know, huh~.
There are so many things that Sophie doesn't know.
If you asked Papa or Mama, surely they'd know.

But for Sophie, just because she hears what the time difference is doesn't mean she can understand it, so maybe it's for the best.

That's why I want to know where the Sanderson household is located on the world map.
When I asked Telly, he panicked and left me in a hurry, as if he had just remembered something.
...Maybe, he doesn't know either?

June 23

Month Day
Today, there was a great incident!!
As usual, Sophie was taking a walk around the house, away from the family.
I had recovered from the jet lag and was feeling much better, so I decided to stretch my legs by going and saying hello to Dinah.
I don't have legs, you say!? Please don't say that.

So, Dinah has always been fascinated by the daytime dramas. I like talking about them, but some of the words are difficult for Sophie to understand.
Though, the drama seems centered around a love story, and I was excited when Tokimeki came back.
Sophie is love-I-N-G(in present tense)!
Sophie is the main character of this drama!
After having a nice chat with Dinah, I was saying goodbye......

And, not noticing the hole in the wall, Sophie fell!!
Kya-----!!
Don't worry, though, because even if Sophie falls from a high place, I don't break apart like Dinah.
Regardless, the hole, is it in the back of the wall?
I found it.
What? Is it?
I mustn't rush.
Sophie is so excited, my hands are shaking......
I have no hands!?...
...Please stop saying the same thing over and over again.
Well, I can't get over the excitement!

June 28

Month Day
Thankfully, the excitement from the other day has subsided.
Now, Sophie has a new problem to attack.
Let's do it!!

See, Sophie found a diary with a key!!
Yeah, maybe you can see “What?!” written all over my face!?
A diary. With a key!
A keyed diary is every maiden's dream!
And I found that very thing!!
Is moolah worth anything?!
Do you know the priceless emotional value of something you can't buy with moolah?!

Also, it's in this house......
If you think of who's here, you'll understand.
It doesn't take a detective to solve it.
It's so easy, anyone could sleuth it out.

Yes, the owner of the diary......
I don't have to do any homework for this one.
It's Mama!!

You get why it's trouble, now.

Now Sophie is fighting temptation.
The diary, should I read it, or not......?

Why should Sophie have to make such a painful choice?!
Is it some kind of test!?

Father! Please tell me!!

July 2006

July 6

Month Day
Sophie is keeping an eye on the diary's key.
If it happened to turn in the lock, it wouldn't bother Sophie!

I'm not convinced Sophie will be able to overcome this temptation, so I decided to just read Mama's diary!

But first, I will write down the way Sophie is feeling.

Mama, I'm sorry.
Though Sophie's Diary of a Maiden is kept in an unknown place, if anyone read it, I think it would tear me up inside.
So, go ahead and tear Sophie's heart up.

Diary, if she doesn't want me to read you, she should take the key with her when she goes out.

I've made up my mind, but I have to prepare myself before I read Mama's diary. My heart is fluttering~

July 14

Month Day
At last, I opened Mama's diary with trembling hands.
...The question of Sophie having hands? It's only that I felt that way...
I was just that nervous!

Since it's bad enough that I'm sneaking peeks at the diary, I think I will read it little by little, or else it'll make Sophie's heart pound too much in my little chest.

What I understood from reading today was that Mama got the diary at her high school graduation, so the diary begins with her as a university student.

Mama, when you were young......

Sophie can't imagine what kind of college life you had.
If Sophie reads this diary, will it be like going to university with Mama?

July 20

Month Day

I am a university student. The name is Helen......

I don't know what to do about this opening, but it seems like it's not Mama's writing.

“Today, I am a university student.

I got this diary as a graduation present so I have to write something in it.



......I've thought about it, but strangely, there's nothing to write about.

Friends are great, but it's more fun going to a club than a college!

Finally, no more curfews.



I also need to get a part-time job so I can buy clothes for when I go out.

Yeah, part-time. What should I do......”

Mama!
Starting a new life, that's surprisingly cool......
For Sophie, just being in a room full of strangers makes my heart beat like crazy!

Also, what's a club?
Would Telly know, if I asked him?
Is it like any old club of people?
Can Sophie go there too?

July 27

Month Day
I think... I know what a club is.
I think I get it just by reading Mama's diary, not even asking Telly.

“I went to CZGZ with the usual friends. It's the second time I went to CZGZ and it was still super cool. Am I thinking straight?



Among all the bands that performed today, Rainbow Water was the best!

The vocalist Adam was handsome, talented, sexy, and the best thing in the world!!

Karen said the drummer was good.

I didn't have time to pay attention to the drums at all.

I mean, when I can see Adam, I don't have eyes for anything else!”

I've heard of CZGZ from the TV.
At least, that's how the announcer introduced them, like “Kuzuguzu.”
There were a lot of flashy people in that audience.
But Sophie remembers flinching away from the noisy music that started playing.

Oh, the place they were playing was a club! It's shocking that Mama's been in such a place!
Just shocking!
I've never heard her sing or listen to that loud music!
Has she always had a pink and green aura?
I can't believe it!

After all!! It's a shocking thing for Sophie to discover inside a secret diary!!

But!!
I can't wait, I can't pause, I can't stop, I can't stop reading. I'm excited to learn Mama's secret, but I've never done this before. Is Sophie a scaredy cat? I can't meet Mama's eyes lately. Though, as a toy, you can always meet Sophie in the same place.

Ah, but the best thing in the world isn't Adam, it's Drake Redcrest. I want to fix this diary with a red pen.

August 2006

August 2

Month Day
After that, Mama's club visits are written about a lot.
Is that all you have to talk about!?
Sometimes Sophie forgets to act like a lady.

By the way, I know about Rainbow Water.

It's a rock band consisting of four men who mostly cover songs by the popular band Purple Sabbath.

Rainbow Water is pretty popular with people, but Mama seems totally crazy for them.
Why does Sophie think that?
Well, in the diary, it never says she actually talked to Adam, and yet it says she has feelings for him......

Though, when I think about it, I can't criticize her for it.

Because, when Drake Redcrest is nearby, Sophie doesn't have the courage to pass in front of him!!

Yes, it's true.
Mama must have been a shy, modest girl like Sophie.
It makes Sophie want to support Mama and Adam's love!
But Mama has Papa, already, so, uh......
Sophie has come to her senses.

August 9

Month Day

“Kyaa! What should I do?!

Adam is coming to my university!!

No, I want to attend every bit of Rainbow Water's college tour!!

I have to work hard and save money this summer!!

Karen is also energized!

Maybe if Karen and I attend the tour with matching uniforms, we'll stand out a little?

Adam, how often would our eyes meet?!

This time, I hope you remember me!!”

Ah, reading this diary is always exciting for Sophie.

Still, Mama's character seems to be different from Sophie's.
After all, in my case, Sophie only has eyes for Drake Redcrest.
Soon, I'll be shot by the Redcrest Love Eye Beam!!
S... Sophie, p... please remember......
Kyaaa... It's embarrassing~~

Ah, the college tours sound like fun~.
As soon as I turn the page, I can read about it, but I want to stretch out the fun~

August 18

Month Day
Lately, I've been seeing glimpses of the secrets of Mama's youth.
From the heartbeat of the diary-stealing Sophie to the heartbeat of the person who loves Mama...
It seems I'm mixed up with a lot of pounding hearts.

Anyway, dramatic things keep happening to Mama!!

It's something Sophie has a dreamy memory of...
I keep coming back to reread the diary!

It's the day Rainbow Water came to Mama's university!
It's like a scene straight out of a drama.

Mama was in front of the stage, watching a concert with her friend Karen, with the audience crowded behind them, when, in their excitement, the waves of people began to crush her...
In particular, there was a large man behind her, pressing with his weight which was very painful.
But Mama's pained expression was quickly noticed by...!!
Wh-what!?

Ah, I'm always excited when I read this part~

Because I enjoyed reading it so much, I'll end my diary for today.

August 25

Month Day
Ha~.
Just like a drama.
Wonderful.
Yes, it was the vocalist Adam who reached out to Mama from the top of the stage~

Ah, if it was Sophie, I would want Drake Redcrest to save me!
Just imagining it... Kya!!

What's more, Adam pulled Mama onto the stage with a large audience watching...
It's like she's the chosen princess!!

In the diary, it says the moment felt like it was in stop motion!!
Adam stopped singing, but the band kept playing. All the fangirls in the audience were shouting for Adam, but Mama could only hear Adam's voice as he said in her ear, “Are you okay, baby?”!!

A won•der•ful experience!!

Sophie feels like she is experiencing it all with Mama, with my fingers trembling as I turn the page.
I'll read it little by little, because it's making me nervous and I don't want to waste these words.

September 2006

September 1

Month Day
When I was reading Mama's diary again today, it made me cry out! Be-be-because!

What happened after the injured Mama was rescued, it was a couple times more thrilling than any drama Sophie's ever seen!

After she was helped by her beloved Adam], she was allowed to keep watching the performance live by the stage, and was later invited backstage. Adam looked at Mama's knee, which was bruised and bloodied, and wrapped his headband around her injury!!

He wrapped it around her knee!

Ah!
This is no time for worrying about how unsanitary it is to wrap a sweaty bandana around an injury~. Even a clean freak like Sophie is so dizzy from thinking about it, it could knock me out. Just reading it in a diary can make you lightheaded~.

Would Drake Redcrest help me if I fell down?

Ye~~~ah......*thud*

September 7

Month Day
I'm sorry.
Last time, Sophie was so excited that she collapsed in the middle of her diary.
I feel so embarrassed.......
What's more, Sophie didn't awaken because of Drake Redcrest, but from Tao's tongue licking her.
If I had stayed asleep a little longer, maybe Drake Redcrest would have rescued me.......

But, it's okay.
One day, maybe a very dramatic moment like Mama's will happen to Sophie!

Anyway, afterwards Mama is very cute!

After her friend Karen picks her up from the dressing room, she consults with her about whether or not she can keep the bandana Adam wrapped around her knee without washing it.
That's a feeling I can understand~

If Sophie could feel the tactile sense of Drake Redcrest's scarf wrapped around her......
I definitely wouldn't want to return it!
But, you can't do something like that! That would make you a robber!
You have to return borrowed items properly.

Also, Karen was glad because she caught a glimpse of the drummer through the gap in the open dressing room door.
Speaking of, Mama doesn't write about the drummer's name and appearance. Who is he?

Of course, there should be band members other than a vocalist and a drummer, but they're never mentioned in the diary.
It's true that love is blind.

September 12

Month Day

“What to do! Can you believe it?

Adam's] bandana is in my hands. The trademark bandana that Adam always wears when performing live on stage. I'll return it at the next concert, so for now I can keep it as my own. I can keep Adam's bandana under my pillow when I sleep!

Maybe I'll see Adam's dreams......”

Sophie knows Mama's feelings all too well.
It is surprising nowadays to think of Mama having these experiences as a young maiden, but every time I read the maiden's diary, it shocks me less and less.

September 22

Month Day
To go back on what I just said about Mama not surprising me, Sophie was just surprised.

Mama never owned an iron before.
When Adam's] concert neared, she took the bandana from under her pillow and ironed it -- what a girly thing to do!!
For this to be her first ironing is so cutesy!
But, it's surprising when you think of the present-day Mama.

Sophie doesn't have hands, so there's no way she can hold an iron.

September 29

Month Day

“Oh, tomorrow is finally the live concert.

I have to say farewell to this bandana tonight.......

I don't know how many times I ironed it, so it might be a bit worn out. Eheheh.

Well, if I fold it carefully I can cover it up.



Still, it wasn't Adam who came to my dreams from under my pillow, but that drummer!!

That guy Karen talks about at college every day!”

Mama, I'm so sorry.......
I hope you see Adam in your dreams on the last night.
If I turn the diary's page I can see the answer immediately.
But Sophie will save it for tomorrow.

October 2006

October 6

Month Day

“Terrible, terrible, terrible!!

Laughing at me! And in front of Adam!

How could they all laugh at me?

Why would you laugh at me just for returning the bandana?

Shouldn't I have ironed it to look so nice and neat?

Shouldn't I have folded it with such a tight line?!



I'm mortified; I'm sad---”

The rest of today's diary entry couldn't be read because the letters were blurred.......

Mama, you finally returned Adam's bandana, and you were ridiculed.......
It seems like there were many women around Adam.......
For Sophie, if Drake Redcrest was surrounded by women, I might faint.
But, to be bullied like this.......

Mama, please don't give up!
I'm supporting you in real time, though this story happened in the past and is over now.
I'm inadvertently addicted.
No matter how much time passes, this love story doesn't cool but stays HOT!

October 17

Month Day

“Don't stay scared forever!”

That was the tone of the diary the day after the bandana incident.
Mama, your mood changed quickly then.

Recently, when you discovered a toy bill Papa had hidden, you were so upset you barricaded yourself in your room for a long time, if Sophie understands your feelings right?

Or maybe it was a very serious matter.
Sophie does not understand.
For Sophie, family economics and love are of equal importance.......
No, if you don't have a home, love is everything!
But, one day, will Sophie's family budget be the most important thing?
Drake Redcrest, why do you seem so wonderful while Sophie is only a child?

Anyway, Sophie is glad that Mama recovered so quickly!

October 25

Month Day
Thinking about it, up until now, there hasn't been any mention of men in Mama's diary other than Adam!
Surely at a big college, there would be a lot of attractive, good-looking guys!
Mama, if there is only one person in the world for you, your feelings are very familiar to Sophie!
I know it's bad manners to read someone else's maiden diary, but it is a nice surprise to see this side of Mama I never knew before.

I'm sure Mama was beautiful and popular then.
I wonder if, when I turn the page, I'll see a happy scene with Adam?

But now, Mama's husband is Papa.......
So, that's ......it??

Well, okay!
Sophie will take a trip to Mama's past and take a peek.

October 31

Month Day

“Today, the Rainbow Water concert was far from home.

I was a little depressed because, in order to make curfew, I had to go home as soon as the concert was over.

Leaving in the middle of the concert was one of the worst things I could think of, and, glancing at all the fans crowding around the dressing room door while heading home with Karen, I felt lonely.

(Maybe it was all in my head, but I was a bit proud to turn my back on those people who laughed before!!)

But I have to avoid breaking curfew or I'll never attend a concert again.......”



We were in a hurry to leave, when your carefree voice called out to us!!

Karen was delighted to hear your voice, but I got a sinking feeling.

Because, of course, he had a bandana I never wanted to see again!

That chubby drummer!

Didn't you drop this?

What do you mean!

Don't you get it, this is a bad time!

I shouted at him to please throw it away! But shouting made me stand out, so embarrassing!!



On the way home, I kept complaining to Karen, asking why, I didn't understand, I couldn't take it.



I wanted to talk to Adam.......

But that's an indulgent wish.”

It takes courage to push through a crowd of fans.
Sophie is not such a courageous girl, and when it comes to meeting gentlemen I am a coward, but Mama, in the same situation, stays strong --- I would surely collapse.

Imagining Drake Redcrest being surrounded by girls is-- too much---. (thud)

November 2006

November 10

Month Day
So, is that your best friend who appears so often in Mama's diary?
Karen.
Sophie isn't lonely because she has dependable mentors, like Princess Pitts and Auntie Dinah, but I've just realized I don't have a friendship like Mama and Karen.

“Ha, Mom got mad at me again because of my long phone call with Karen.

But are there any girls who don't like long-distance calls?!

Even Mom makes long calls, but when I use the phone, she gets angry because then she can't use it!

That's not a good argument!

When I'm a Mom, I'll be the kind type that doesn't get upset by that!

Definitely!!”

Jenny isn't really at the age to be making long phone calls, but I've seen her sit in front of that cute pink “Princess Pitts Talking Ringing Telephone” in her room for half a day. And not just once or twice.......
When you accidentally touch it, you're met with a long conversation from Princess Pitts......
No, you can hear some fun gossip!

“More than that, I was tired of Karen constantly talking about that dumb chubby drummer......”

Mama, thanks for your hard work.
Karen is in love with the chubby drummer.
Mama seems not to feel the same way.
I hope you can double date someday.

Month Day

“I was drinking tea with Karen at the mall today on the way home from school, when I ran into Adam's fangirls.

They always seem so big, flashy, conspicuous, and to be living in a different world than us, but they spoke to me so casually!

At that moment, everyone in the food court was watching!!

I was scared, but as I talked with them nervously, they all turned out to be nice people.......



They said something I couldn't believe!

The other day, Adam was looking for me because I didn't stop by the dressing room!!

They were cheering for me, so they said they'd give me advice for dressing up for the next time I see Adam!



Everyone considered Adam a love rival, but I had decided that he was just a flashy guy with a mean personality.

You shouldn't judge people by their appearance.”

.......
Certainly.......
Sophie nods her head.
Auntie Dinah appears to be a frightening dinosaur, but at her heart she's got an old-fashioned kindness and sense of honor.
It's surprising, and wonderful!!

Really, Sophie is boring; she looks like a girl and has the heart of a girl.

Month Day
In Mama's diary, she wrote that she remade her clothes with Karen.
Ah, Sophie is also around the age where she's worried about fashion---!

However, Sophie isn't confident in her own ability to hand make things. Mama is very clever in that area.
Now that I mention it, compared to Papa's wasteful spending, Mama doesn't seem to shop so much, and her clothes all seem to have that flower pattern, huh?

Maybe if Sophie tried knitting something, I could.......
Then, then, Sophie could give the scarf as a gift to Drake Redcrest, and then secretly make a matching......, kya!
That'd be too bold--.

But, the scarf would de・fin・ite・ly be red.

Month Day
W-w-wait.......
Wait, this part of Mama's diary isn't good.......
Terrible, it's terrible!!

The entry was so terrifying Sophie's hands trembled as I turned the page.
Yeah, it felt like that.

What was so awful was what happened when she dressed up and went to the dressing room to show Adam.

Oh, just remembering the contents of the diary makes Sophie cry!!

Let me get back to it.

Mama's nice clothes had juice spilled on them.
Yeah, they were totally soaked.
The culprits were Adam's scary fangirls!!
Of course, they were deliberately trying to humiliate her.

I mean, Sophie didn't actually see it happen, but I read about the tragedy in the diary.

But, most of all, what hurt Mama--

Adam just laughed.

......I'm going to bed now.

December 22

Month Day
I haven't written about Mama's diary in a few days because the last entry was so depressing.
Sophie didn't feel like opening Mama's diary for a while.

However, I want to reassure myself about Mama in the diary, to see that she brightens a little bit.

I have to stay positive!!

Because it's winter now.
The season for lovers is coming!

This is the season where Papa begins to look through those thick toy shop catalogues.
Are you looking for Jenny's gifts?
No, no.
It's like you're looking for your own toys.

Sophie wants with all her heart to give Drake Redcrest a gift.
I always lose my mind before talking directly to Drake, so it'll be awhile before I can do that.

Drake, please keep your love・beam a little longer.
Sophie isn't a bad guy, but she always gets knocked out.

Month Day
Kya-, It's the New Year!!
This year, Sophie wants to become more and more of a wonderful lady and watch Drake from a distance!
Aside from that, so early in the New Year, Telly seems to have something on his mind, and has been wandering around Sophie aimlessly.
I wonder if Chibi-Robo is busy with work requests.......
Sophie doesn't know exactly, but this early in the year Sophie is worried Telly's wandering will lead to a strange misunderstanding by Drake.

I hope you have a good year.

January 12

Month Day
Today, when I opened Mama's diary, something suddenly fell from it.
Sophie, how long has this mystery person been here?
I examined him.......

Slim and pretty with a nice smile and an attractive, slightly flashy hairstyle.
Is this Adam?!

I want to slap Mama, but for her, it's a memory of the past.
Sophie will put it back in the diary so she can keep her good memories.

The only person in Sophie's good memories is Drake Redcrest <3 <3

Month Day
Fidget fidget.
Is every girl in the country, no, world, feeling as restless as Sophie this time of year?
Eh, you want to know what the heck is going on?
It's VD (Vee Dee).
Valentines-Day, you know!

Fufufu, I learned from Mama's diary that there is an annual tradition for such a special day.
It's a special day that is intended to allow girls to confess their deep feelings to boys.
No~~!
To wait is not love---!
If I make a Sophie-shaped chocolate, Drake......
Would you eat it for me?
Well, it's easier to fall down the stairs than to confess~~!!

February 9

Month Day
An easy recipe for Sophie-shaped chocolate

1.) Go to the chocolate shop

1 Extra-large Truffle
4 Medium Truffles
2 Small Truffles

Purchase those.
If there's chocolate you want to eat, buy it too.
Because if you aren't patient, you might start snacking until all the Sophie chocolate disappears.

2.) Get some kind of stick

It will be used to connect Sophie's body together.
Anything is okay as long as it can connect the body together.
No rules, no future.
So, Sophie got a hot dog skewer from the kitchen.
Occasionally, Mama uses it to make Jenny's snack.

Don't forget you also need two short sticks for Sophie's antennae.
These can be anything.
For example, if you use toothpicks you can use it to eat together, which I think is a good idea even if you have to use a toothpick Papa used after eating.

3.) Connect the collected items

Sophie's body is made up of a large truffle for her face, connected to 4 medium truffles with a stick.
Small truffles are inserted into the face with a toothpick to make antennae.

Now Sophie is completed!!
What do you think?
...
Well, Sophie thought she'd make it, but she was impatient and ended up snacking on it.......
Ugh.

Month Day
Discerning eyes
Radiant, casting glances
Aimlessly; I know you're a
Knight, a hero of the universe,
Even so...

I can't help but love you, only.

How many love letters have I failed to write today...... I've lost track.

February 28

Month Day
I had a thought recently.

The Papa from today and the Adam in the diary are very different types.......

Did Mama's taste change somewhere along the line?
Will Sophie someday change her mind?
Can't you love just one person forever?

Sophie might be laughed at for being childish.
Drake Redcrest always...... Only Drake Redcrest......
Kya---
That's embarrassing---!!

Well, Adam seems to be a terrible person, so you can't really blame Mama for changing her mind!!
Though, Papa doesn't appear in Mama's diary, but......
Did she write it properly?
Did you have a wonderful meeting?

When I see Papa and Mama these days, Sophie gets a little worried.

April 2007

April 4

Month Day
After after a long time, Sophie decided to return to Mama's diary.
How have her feelings changed?
That's kind of a rude thing to ask a maiden.
It's already spring, and the weather forecast can't keep up with the changing feelings of a maiden's mind.

Well, today I'd like to read aloud.

“It wasn't only Adam who laughed at me, but I could only hear Adam's laughter resonating in my ears, and I wanted to leave as soon as possible so I ran from the dressing room.

The next day, Karen said that if I washed the dress immediately, it might not have been stained, but I didn't care about the stain in that moment.

If I look at it now, it's like a stain on my heart.

It's impossible to clean once it's spread.

I cried enough for the tears to wash the stain away, but.......

Also, this unfamiliar towel that soaked up so many of my tears, whose is this?

Now that I think about it, back then I ran into someone and fell on my backside.

However, because I felt like everyone was laughing at me, I ran away without apologizing.

I left Karen behind then, so she might know something.

I'll ask her at college tomorrow.”

Don't run away.

April 11

Month Day
I was worried about the towel.
It's more difficult to find the owner of a towel than the owner of a Princess' lost glass slipper.
You can judge by shoe size to some extent, but it's more difficult with a towel...
...So I was surprised to learn that the owner~ was found in no time~!

“I brought the towel to college today, and Karen said she knew the owner!

It was a great coincidence and it meant I was saved.

Thanks to Karen I wouldn't be a towel thief.

Coincidentally, Karen said it was Adam's] band's drummer...

... Uh, what's-his-name's present to me.

I didn't want to go to Adam's band's concerts anymore, but Karen says she'll come with me so I can return the towel.

But I think that's the last time I'll be close to Adam.

I'm sad, but I don't want to get made fun of again.”

.......
Sophie isn't so sure about this. It was a good coincidence, but to give what should be Karen's towel present to another girl.......
If Drake Redcrest did that, I would have mixed feelings.
Is that a mean way for Sophie to think?
Well then, maybe Mama took the towel by force.
Then it would be an inevitability.
But, Sophie will have to think about it more.

April 18

Month Day
Sophie, esper!

“Adam may have laughed at me that day, but I didn't see it as a sign of a curse.

Today, I went back with Karen to return the towel.

Before the concert started, because we got there so early, I was able to meet the drummer without running into Adam or his scary fangirls.

I intended to say thank you and leave quickly.

No, the plan was for Karen and I to switch places, so Karen and the drummer would have a chance to talk.

But!

But, not knowing Karen was hidden nearby, in front of her, he asked for my phone number!

He turned red and started to sweat.

He used the returned towel on the spot.......

Ah! The moment I remembered her, Karen had already turned her back and run away.

Because we're good friends, I wish it hadn't come to this!

I'm sure I ran away, then.......

However, the person that Karen wanted to dry her tears, the owner of the towel, was also looking at her back.

Will I lose my best friend along with my love?”

Look! I had a bad feeling in my previous diary entry.
I'm shaking

The kindness of gentlemen obscures their real motives

B-but justice's hero, Drake Redcrest, is different!
Because he's a hero.
It's his job to be kind to everyone.
So, even if you help Sophie.......
Ah, Sophie's a little downhearted.

April 25

Month Day
Sophie actually found yesterday' entry in Mama's diary very exciting.
You all know that the friendship between Mama and her best friend Karen is in a desperate situation.
It's like they're on the edge of a cliff.
And, the Sanderson family Sophie knows when she puts down the diary,
In my memory, I don't remember meeting Karen since Sophie came to the family.......
Of course, I've never asked anyone's name.
I should have realized that from the beginning.
Yes, there's a chance that their friendship is broken.
Lately, it's been a bit difficult to read Mama's diary, but.......
After all, wouldn't it be nice for Sophie not to have seen it?
A maiden's heart may change easily, but regret is different.
Ah, but I'm curious what happened to Karen!

So, I ended up turning the page.

Ha~~.
Let me tell you the conclusion. I couldn't read it without tearing up.

“I was afraid I wouldn't even get a call.

I was worried about the idea of meeting her at school; I lacked the courage to.

Besides, I didn't know what to say to Karen.

I can't believe I was such a coward.

I felt like taking a day off of college.

Mom said there was a letter from Karen in the mailbox, and it woke me up!

An ultimatum from Karen! I thought.......



But, I'm embarrassed that I thought that!

But, the letter was even more shocking and depressing, in a different way.

Karen said that after graduation, she and her family will move far away!

She apologized for being silent for so long and asked me to take care of George.

But, she was in love until that day.

I know Karen can't change her feelings just like that!

I cried so much while looking at the letter that I worried my Mom, so I won't cry in front of Karen anymore.

That would be a waste.

I want to laugh together with Karen for the time I have left with her.”

*snif* I-I'm sorry.
No matter how many times Sophie reads it, I'm touched by the friendship of these women. I'm jealous~.
Is the drummer good or bad......?
I think it's a complicated question.
But, it let Karen talk about the difficult matter of moving, so was it useful......?
And the drummer is George.
Huh? I've heard it somewhere.......

Month Day
The warm weather has passed, and these days it has suddenly become H O T.
Sophie's love is always hot and sour.
......What can I say, it's still scary.

Nowadays, Sophie has been caught up in that popular pre-summer hobby for girls, dieting.
Lately, the world has tried various kinds of diets, but Sophie is doing a staircase diet.
What kind of diet is that?
Do you think a girl would so easily divulge such tantalizing information?
It's sweet.
Dieting is a game.
It's a tough world. I can't teach you.
......What can I say, a good child shouldn't just imitate.

Love and diets are both risky!

So, Sophie is no longer interested in secretly browsing through Mama's diary.
Well, you see.
Mama, Karen, and the drummer all get along, and spend time making some final memories together. After seeing Karen off before she moved, the diary continues that Mama and the drummer went out together.

Even the Love Catcher Sophie is satiated!

I mean, I get envious of other people's affairs, but Sophie must also persevere! And shocking!! I've decided I also need to change my attitude.
I put Mama's diary back in its original location because one day someone would discover it.

Also.......

I was so absorbed by love that I completely forgot about Chibi-Robo, but I think the new Chibi-Robo is about to be finished.
This time, Chibi-Robo is a bit different.......
What was it?
“In love! Chibi-Robo?”
Oh, no. That's impossible.
It's about 100 years too early for love for the always-expressionless Chibi-Robo.

Sophie is always in love with Drake Redcrest, so the invisible flowers sprouting from her head are always in bloom, but it seems the new Chibi-Robo can also make flowers bloom.
“Blooming! Chibi-Robo!”

Let the flowers of Sophie's love bloom! Chibi-Robo!!

By the way, this photo was sandwiched in Mama's diary.

On the back,

“Dear Karen,



We'll go to Nanashi Island next time.



From George and Helen”

was written.
It seems someone forgot to send this to Karen.......

Huh!? Papa is George!?

No way!? What! Seriously?
