Soseki (センゴク, Sengoku^?) is character in Harvest Moon 3DS: A New Beginning. He is one of the eligible bachelors to court.

Soseki was a reporter, but after an accident at his last job he quit. He now lives in town to live a peaceful life. He is constantly worried about his health and comes across as a hypochondriac. Although still young, he still refers to himself as an old man and may need some convincing if you want to date him.

Full transcription below:

Soseski: Oh, a ring. A ring? A ring?! Are you serious, PLAYER?! Alright. Okay. For now, let's go somewhere else to talk about this. Soseki: Whoa, you really surprised me! My legs almost gave out from the shock. I mean, I'm a bit old for you, aren't I? We have a pretty big age difference between us. That's a fact, PLAYER. Sure you don't want to date someone younger? That said, given you're both innocent and stubborn, you won't be giving up, now will you? Just to be sure, let me ask one more time. PLAYER, do you really want to go out with me? Player: (shows the ring again) Soseki: I see... Well, if you're that serious about it, I'm game too. From today on we're a couple. Player: (gives ring) Soseki: Now that we're officially sweethearts, why don't what we call each other? Should make things more exciting. What would you like me to call you? Give it some thought. Keep name Change it Soseki: (Change it) NAME it is then. Hmm...that's a pretty good name. Oh? You don't want me to add "honey" at the end anymore? But...I've been adding "honey" now and again for a while. I feel like it fits you now. And after all, it does sound pretty cute! I'll keep using it sometimes, okay? This is the start of a fresh stage for us. Let's give it our best. Oops, I forgot about some minor business I have to take care of. I'll be one my way then. See you soon, NAME.

Soseki: So, PLAYER. Even though I come off the way I do, I'm actually an experienced adult, you know. That's to say, whenever you're in a pinch, I want you to be able to rely on me. I'd like to support you. The gist of what I'm getting at here is how do you feel about going out with me? Player: "!" Soseki: Don't think about it too deeply. I mean, just consider giving me a shot. What do ya say? "Go out with him" (Good answer) "Turn him down" (Bad answer) -3000 FP and +5 AP If you say "Go out with him" : Player: (pulls out ring) Soseki: Ah ha. You agree to go for it.

Player: (hands over ring, both get hearts above their heads) Soseki: Since we're a proper couple now, maybe it would make things more exciting if we change what we call each other. What would you like me to call you? Give it some thought. Keep it Change it Soseki: NAME it is then. Hmm...that's a pretty good name. Oh? You don't want me to add "honey" at the end anymore? But...I've been adding "honey" now and again for a while. I feel like it fits you now. And after all, it does sound pretty cute! I'll keep using it sometimes, okay?
