Player's birthday: I hear today's your birthday. Happy birthday, player. Have a nice day.
Friendship Lines[]
1:I'm not good at talking to people. You can talk to me, but I can't promise I'll say anything back.
2:I like collecting seeds. So if you have some rare seeds, please show me. I'd be happy to see them.
3:Sometimes I study plants so hard that I forget all about sleep and food... Plants are sneaky that way. They can take over your life if you're not careful.
4:Before I came here, I was staying at my uncle's house. A lot of people say he's got a scary-looking face, because he does, but he's actually a really nice guy who likes plants and kids.
5:I guess sometimes I can come across as rude, or too blunt, so I end up hurting people's feelings without knowing it. So if anything I ever say offends you, please don't hesitate to tell me. I'd rather argue about it and make up afterwards than never talk about it at all... I think...our relationship is strong enough for that.
6:When I was in college, I took on all the coursework I could, because I wanted to get into research as soon as possible. Thanks to that, I got my Ph.D. early. Now I can do all the research I want. If I'd taken even one night off in all that time, I wouldn't be in this town right now.
7:I think you're one of the few people I can call...um, my friend. So tell me more about yourself... Starting now, I want to understand you as much as you understand me. And someday, I want to be...your b-best friend...!
General[]
If you are dating someone: What's up? You look so happy. Oh, you're seeing someone? Nice! That's great news. Best wishes.
Eating: *cough* *cough* D-don't...talk to... me all of a... sudden while I'm...eating!
Gift Reactions[]

Neutral: This is a present for me? I see. I'll accept it. Thanks.
Disliked:
Hated:
About the town[]
I come across a lot of tourists on my nature walks these days. They always ask me how to get to town. I guess rumors about the town's growth are getting around, if people keep coming here to see for themselves.

Locations[]
Forest Road Area[]
Where there're plants, there're insects, and vice versa. Maybe if I chase enough bugs around, I'll find a secret flower garden or something. Worth a try, right?
The mountain is covered with all kinds of interesting plants. Moving here was totally worth it.
Riverside Pasture[]
This is a big river. Which means it's full of fish, all slimy and wriggly... Ugh. I shudder every time I think about 'em.
Each farmer likes to grow different crops in different ways. So it's easy to tell who's using which field. Hm? Do I know who's using this one? ...Well, I'm not totally sure. But looking at what's being grown and how it's tended will give you clues as to who's farming the land.
Piedmont[]
The plants around here are odd enough to be worth studying. Ah, time always flies when I'm foraging here...
Mountain Hill[]
I see. It's easy to grow tea leaves, fruit trees and spices here, huh? This field looks perfect for those crops.
...This farm really reflects its caretaker's personality well... ...Hm? Oh, it's you, player. No, I was just observing the farm over there. Don't mind me...
Your Farm[]
You know, the more I look at your farm, the more I see how it reflects your character. Are all farms like that?
Restaurant[]
I don't usually spend a lot of time in big crowds and busy places, but I kind of like the bustle in this restaurant.
Anytime I live near a restaurant, I tend to go there a lot. If the food's good, I can't stay away.
Festivals[]
Spring[]
Harvest Festival[]
If you won: Congrats, [Player]. Looking at what you presented today, you certainly have a knack for raising some fine plants. I like that.
If you lost: It's too bad you didn't win. You've grown a lot, but the results are what they are. But I think you've hardly begun to tap your real potential. There's no reason to get downhearted.
Vegetables category: When I was little, there were definitely some vegetables I hated. Nowadays, though, I can eat pretty much all of them just fine. They were plucked from their source of life in order to provide food for us. It'd be a shame not to enjoy what they have to offer.
Fruits category: The other day, my uncle sent me a care package with some fruit he grew himself. They were, like always, really excellent. I'm sure I'd have a chance to win a blue ribbon at this festival if I used them as my entry, but it wouldn't be right, since I didn't raise them. I'd really like to let everyone know just how excellent the fruit my uncle raises is, but I guess it's better to simply enjoy them at home.
Flowers category: With a different quality of seed and a little more attention, you can get a much more beautiful plant than you might expect. I like to think I know a fair bit about plants, but even with all of my knowledge, I doubt I'd be able to raise a flower that looked like that one. I guess I could say you farmers are the “professionals” when it comes to growing things. I learned a lot today. I'm glad I had the chance to come out and take part.
Other category: I still remember how enthralled I was when I first saw a cotton plant with my own eyes. They're still a plant I don't see that often, so whenever I get the chance, I always find myself staring at them much too intently.
Flower Fair[]
A Flower Fair present? Right, I heard about the Flower Fair. Thank you. I'll accept it.
Summer[]
Fishing Tournament[]
If you won: ... Oh! Er...sorry. When I thought of how your hands were the ones to catch a big enough fish to win, I couldn't help but stare at them. It's...something personal. D-don't worry about it. Congratulations on your win.
If you lost: I'm just an observer in this arena, so I can't really say how important it is to know if you have raw talent. But I guess knowing you have what it takes to win a contest can be important for those who decide to enter.
O-oh. Player. Hello. Hrm? I look pained? No, I'm not in any pain... It's just...the thought of all those slimy fish that the contestants must have been holding mere minutes ago...BRRR!
Everyone has certain events they aren't exactly wild for. To me, that's the Fishing Tournament. I'm glad that participation isn't mandatory, or I'd have to hide in the woods.
Fireworks Show[]
If you donated 0G-1,000G: When you're watching fireworks, you really do kinda lose track of time. This year, the show felt like it went by so quickly. Even so, the fireworks were still beautiful.
If you donated 10,000G: The fireworks were really pretty. They looked to me like giant flowers of light unfolding in the sky. If I ever found a flower that large and beautiful, I'm sure I'd become obsessed with studying it for days on end. It has to have been a good show, to make me think about all that.
If you donated 100,000G: ... Oh, er...sorry. I was so caught up in the fireworks that I didn't realize you were trying to get my attention. I think, for the rest of the summer, I won't be able to stop myself from imagining those fireworks when I look up into the night sky.
Given how much time I spend studying plants, I'm all too accustomed to staring down for long periods of time. However, I'm not so used to staring up. Now my neck is kinda sore. I didn't even have a chance to bask in my enjoyment. As soon as it ended and I tilted my head down, reality came barging back in.
I hear that, in Sakura Country, they express gratitude to fireworks makers by yelling “Tama-ya” or “mari-yah” when setting them off. Apparently, it's tied to the famous fireworks-making sisters Tama and Mari, from back when fireworks were first being made. Of course, that's just a rumor I heard. There's no telling how much of it is true.
Cluck-Cluck Festival[]
If you won: Congrats, [Player]. I can't say I know much about animals, but yours certainly did look impressive today.
If you lost: It's too bad you didn't win. You've grown a lot, but the results are what they are. But I think you've hardly begun to tap your real potential. There's no reason to get downhearted.
Is there any animal you aren't fond of, [Player]? I'm not very good with birds. It took some courage on my part to come to this contest today...
Fall[]
Concert[]
I wonder what it feels like to play music. I have no talent for music, so I couldn't say, myself. Based on my observations of the performers, it must feel pretty good.
I hear a lot of people saying they’d like to learn an instrument now. If they all follow through on that, next year we may have close to a full orchestra's worth of people playing.
Pet Promenade[]
If you won: Congrats, [Player]. I can’t say I know much about keeping pets, but yours certainly did look impressive today.
If you lost: It’s too bad you didn’t win. You’ve grown a lot, but the results are what they are. But I think you’ve hardly begun to tap your real potential. There’s no reason to get downhearted.
Taking care of pets seems a lot harder than taking care of plants, since they can move around and get into trouble. I’m really glad that plants stay put. I’ve never had that much physical strength. I doubt I could keep up with a dog or a cat that could run away from me.
I’m...not really accustomed to dealing with animals at all and, to be blunt, I’d have no idea what to do with one. A cat came up to me earlier. I pet it, closely observing its behavior. Then its owner came up and told me I had a really funny expression. How weird did my face look? And for how long? For them to mention it, I must have looked pretty weird. I guess there must be something odd about the way I interact with animals.
Fall Fashion Fiesta[]
If you won:
If you lost: Well done today. It’s too bad you didn’t win, but we all have days like these.
If she won: Are you certain it’s okay that I won? I mean, I’m happy that I won. It’s just that I was so nervous, I don’t even remember how it all happened.
Everyone chose top-rate outfits for today. These people don’t mess around! After seeing all that, I have to admit I feel kinda embarrassed to be wearing the plain outfit I have.
The judge told me that he grades outfits on coordination, color, balance and taste. That makes sense. I can see all of those being important points in a fashion contest. But personally, I wear the clothing that feels best on me. That won’t change, even if I decided to enter the contest myself someday. I’m the one who has to wear the clothing, so I feel no obligation to wear something just based on the opinions of others.
