Basically no time at all, since a warp to/from town appeared in the fields after beating Skelefang.  Sure is convenient that Link's the only one it exists for.

Just like to point out that Raven has a cameo in Rune Factory 4, and mentions she's looking for rare ores. When the main character asks who she's getting them for she says "like my Dad, I guess."

Omurice at Last Music: Summer  Welcome back to Rune Factory 3. Let's jump right into Bad Idea Hour.    W-What did you see?! A golden wooly! (There's still time. Just go home, me.) Link! Let's go catch it! ... (Oh...what should I do?) Just talk to me when you're ready!Like a moth to flame, we're going to charge right into...well, let's be real, this probably isn't danger. Unless she decides to dye our wool rainbow and then shear it off.   Well that didn't work very well.    Neither did any of these(they all get the same response as the first).   It was inevitable. What? What? What? Frame timing!   W-What...? What...was that? Daria, actually I'm- Bah?! ... Mr. Wooly...What are you...? Actually...I'm...half-monster and half-human. B-But...Link... ...  What? So amazing! That's amazing! So artistic! Uh, umm... Let's get a full-scale print! Are paints okay? No! I'm not a human! I'm half-monster! Aren't you scared?! Why? ... Hmmm, the colors aren't quite right. If you were rainbow colors... Daria's much scarier... Link. Yes?! It seems like you're worried about not being human, but who cares? I mean, I'm an elf. Huh...? An elf?I was about to do a huge eye-roll, but this seems to be the first time the game actually tells us this explicitly? Not that it's hard to figure out anyway, but Link wouldn't know what his nose did if someone didn't tell him. Yep. An elf. We're a long-living race that lives in the northern forests. I-Is that right...? Yep. So you don't need to worry about it so much. Nothing's changed. Anyway, let's get that full-scale print. Please don't. But...I'm so relieved. Link...You can come stay with me anytime you feel alone. Daria... You're my precious assistant. Come by anytime. Thank you. The reward is warm fuzzies.   This update brought to you by Hallmark.   Umm...You won't get mad? I won't, what is it? Well, I met a wooly near the forest yesterday. What?! And then...It kinda looked hungry. So I gave the wooly Shara's snack. Oh, I see. I'm sure Shara would get angry with me if she found out. I don't think Shara would get mad if she heard your side of the story. What should I do...? Hmmm, I'll go bring you the same thing that you gave the wooly. Really?! Yes. Leave it to me. Yay! So what do I need to bring? Um, a Yam Dessert please! Okay, a Yam Dessert. Just wait right here. Okay! Yam desserts: more challenging to make than butter rolls, and equally as challenging as pizza. Apparently.   I made this as a thank you. Drink up! I was just thirsty. Thanks. Don't mention it. You're welcome, too!  ...do we need to have a talk with Shara about not letting the small child drink pure ketchup?  After waiting for-loving-ever to get the same size of egg and milk, I get impatient and beat up Buffamoo until one drops a small milk. Remember kids, always solve your problems with violence.  This lets me finally make the omelet for Marjorie's request, from however many updates ago. But since I've already used up my mailbox request for the day, it'll have to wait until tomorrow.   In the meantime let's talk to random NPCs and get another vague RF1 reference.   Checking in on Yue reveals...    I guess I'm using axes now. THE NEXT DAY...     No! I shouldn't even think it. That would be a mere pipe dream!On the way there, Sherman confirms he'd be a much easier potluck dinner guest.     I...think that means you like me a lot? I hope?  I'm willing to pay the "was mean to Pia" toll.  What...?! Well...umm...Sakuya's like family, but you're important, too, so...  Worth it.  Here's the list of what Marjorie wanted from however many updates ago, in case you forgot.    Well, Now to start cooking. Marjorie's cooking. I can't wait. Well, you just wait there a second.  Sorry. We don't have enough chairs, we'll need to stand today. I don't mind. You can't sit down while other people are eating standing up. I see. You're right! You're the best witch! It's not really a witch thing... By the way.....This dish kind of looks like Omelet Rice... I think it does, too. Then maybe it IS Omelet Rice? It is what I meant to make. Um...Grandma? Ho ho. I know, I know. You don't like tomatoes. Don't worry. There aren't any in there. I see. Whew.Marjorie's great(yes, there are definitely no tomatoes in this dish with ketchup on it ) and I wish her few events weren't so tied in with Marian's. Although this one is probably one of the most tolerable Marian-containing events.  You supplied the food right? Yeah, that's right. Well then, I look forward to next time. Okay.  Our reward is a Karina.  Or just tomato seeds.    I'll have to look into that. I'm skeptical, though.Operation: Convince Rusk To Eat A Vegetable is probably my favorite daily dialogue running gag.  While grinding Forging skill, I notice this interesting weapon. Whether or not it can build a bridge in seconds is unconfirmed.  I don't remember to show off the full portraits often, so have Wooly Link being short enough to fit all but a bit of his toes on screen.    Of course, we all have strong opinions. But they are just that. Opinions. So the settlement comes first, then? Always.Also there's only three of you, and not many things going on to argue about. That might help a little.   Even if Ondorus is a killjoy.  With little else to do today, I decide to slaughter harmless monsters for the racist mayor. That'll promote unity, right?   Wells, they're Chipsqueeks. You could take care of them just by waving a pointy stick in their general direction.  Link, of course, prefers massive overkill.  I'll admit I mostly did this to get used to axe swing timing again.   And to see Wells call wild animals "uppity".  At least I got a pink melon seed out of it?

Bullying Pia, the very nerve. But yeah, it's like the writers looked back at the old RF games and were, like, 'hey you know what our problem is? people only want to interact with the cool characters, even if you can't plow their fields' and then they paired Marjorie with the worst character in the game. ...But Shino exists, so that theory's shot anyway.

Love & Colds In the Air Music: Summer   I'm going to be up front with you. I took these screenshots back at the end of August. It's probably for the best I was stalling on advancing the plot, since I don't remember why I took most of the not-quest screenshots. Like these ones of Link harvesting a ton of pumpkins. It's usually not too hard for me to piece together what was going on, but it's not as coherent as it'd otherwise be. Thankfully I'm almost at the end of that backlog.  tl;dr: Hey guys, I remembered magic seeds exist. I might even show them off at one point!  Uhh. >Everything but winter  A shame. I thought you knew me better than that, comrade.>Winter You...remembered?! I'm touched.Yes. Remembering is definitely what that was. (Her birthday's Winter 17, so I assume that's why it's her favorite season.)  Since Link is a man of integrity, I decided to have him use his Love Potion on everyone. Normally using it consumes the potion, but I don't care about that thanks to save fuckery.   Spoilers: 90% of these are actually fairly uninteresting variations on generic anime swooning(for the ladies)/"you're a good friend, keep it up!"(for the gentlemen). Since I don't want an entire update of Love Potion shenanigans, I'll keep it to the more interesting reactions.   The potion bumps its victim up an affection level. This is pretty much useless, since you can see how close villagers get to max affection just from talking to them daily for two seasons.   poo poo, I think he's on to us.  Link...The effects of this drink are worth researching, but it's potent. So be careful.  What?!  I guess I should give Sakuya a present.   Just don't tell Pia it's not squid.  Thanks! I really like these. I'll be sure to have it with my birthday dinner!  Hmm...I guess that'd be cool if I were on a long hike or something. Maybe.Corn: For when your society hasn't invented trail mix yet.   Love potion time.  Have I ever told you how handsome you are, Link? All that farming has really made you fit. You're practically chiseled out of stone! You can come by and say hi any time!Hazel's just a tiny bit thirsty.   What?! What a waste of such a big field!I think if he saw how little of the field I actually use, he'd go berserk.   Incidentally, the love potion is one of the few things that makes him chill the gently caress out for a minute.   What?! I'm kidding. It's really fun to mess with you.   *glance* ?!Carlos is the only guy who reacts to the love potion with hearts and blushing. Make of that what you will. (  )  Oh...Y-You knew? I am a doctor. Of course I know about medicine. Now, give it here then. Thank you.Well, that and Marjorie was the one who gave us this love potion in the first place. That might help a little.    What?! Umm, well. I was thinking about a certain disease. ?Well, she certainly doesn't need the love potion's help! (Also her response to it is boring)   Incidentally, you can give items to NPCs. Including the love potion. There's no effect or interesting dialogue. But hey, if you really want to waste items, you can!  Normally I wouldn't show me repeating a simple quest, except...  There's actual good stuff this time!  Including this belt, which will be a pretty solid accessory once I upgrade it.  There's also this spell that I might remember to use once.  Time for a real quest.    Well then, let's go. Where to? Didn't you read the letter?! To talk of course! N-No, not that...I meant, where are we going to go? Oh...Tee-hee, sorry I jumped on you like that. That's okay. Well, let's go to your house then. I want to talk to you about something. Just the two of us...? Oh... ... L-Let's just go already! You're embarrassing me! Y-Yeah, okay.Apparently our quest is taking us to the Generic Anime Romance dimension, where everyone is forever doomed to act like awkward preteens at the very idea of spending time near their crush. Even if they're actually adults.   ... What is it?Music: Love   Warning: Incoming monologue. My dream is to make the Sharance flowers blossom. My grandpa has spent the last 50 years trying to get the Sharance flowers to blossom. I guess having watched him, I started to want the same thing as well. I've been trying. Watering every day, pruning the branches, making special plant food. At one point, I actually.lived here too. Oh, is that right?! I thought it would help me understand.the plants. I tried everything,.but like Grandpa, I couldn't get anything to work. I almost gave up. ... I just left the tree alone for a while. Then somebody came to town. He had lost his memories, and didn't know what he was going to do. Is that...? That's why I brought him here. Perhaps this person could affect the tree... If he hadn't come, I might have given up on my dream already. But now I have hope. Shara... But you made this tree bigger, Link. I was surprised. Shara... And I promised myself...I'm never going to let myself think that way again! I'm going to keep trying with all my might! I'm going to make the Sharance flowers bloom! Shara! That's been my dream! I can't just give it up! Link, will you help me?The player's not given an option here, presumably because any right-minded person would be mashing "NO" at this point. Sure, it's obvious what's going to happen during the plot anyway, but who says we have to do it for Shara's boring sake? Also it's time for Link to monologue back a bit.  Of course. You gave me those flower seeds way back. You told me to make them grow strong. You were forceful... But I was happy. You gave me a reason to be here. I owe you so much. Link... I'll do anything for you! Anything at all! Tee-hee...Thank you very much... So I guess something changed after I came. Well, I don't know. Link, maybe you did something without telling us? No way! Are you sure...? H-Honest!  I wonder what caused it then. Hmmm... Since you came, the crops have been better. Would better crops mean a bigger tree? That would be... When my grandpa grew crops, the tree was the same size. It must be love!What? You must have lots of love for your crops! ... A love for veggies! That's what made the tree so big!Easy experiment: Have Rusk live in the tree and see if it shrinks. Um...Shara...? Yes! That's brilliant! Oh, I'm not so... Well, if that's the case...  Ha ha...Tee-hee. I hope you grow even better crops from now on. Okay. I'll be going now. See you later.  And... I don't think it's the veggies. Horray, I can now make a bunch of crops grow slightly faster.   On a completely different note, let's try out this sword magic seed Link got at the start of the game and never used.   It's a ruthless killer.   I have no idea how its damage scales, but I'm assuming it's based off Link's stats and/or level.  Your plant friends are more than happy to follow you across multiple screens, including going into buildings.  To get rid of a magic plant, just pick it up and put it in your pocket like any other item. Once you do that it turns into a Tired (whatever) Seed, and can't be used again until the next day.  I use all that Formula C after I get back home, and am reminded that each one's only good for a single crop. God I got spoiled by QOL improvements in RF4. In the morning...  This is definitely how corn flakes are made, right? In a frying pan?  Let's see what bullshit Karina's getting up to today.    I want to catch a cold. Right now. Huh? Could you give me a cold? Well...I'm not sure how I could do that. I need to catch one. There has to be a way. (I've never seen Karina so serious...) Okay. Let's think... Yeah. If we put our heads together, I'm sure you can think of something. How are we going to give me a cold? Hmmm...I guess we should talk to Marjorie about that. Marjorie...? (Well, as long as it's not Marian.) What's the matter? It's nothing. Never mind.  Yes, but why are you friends with her in the first place?    Hmmm...I'm sorry, I can't help you. You can't? I can't go out of my way to make someone sick. That would go against my Hippocratic Oath. No ethical, responsible doctor would do something like that!Talk to Marian then. Got it.   I see...That sounds like a fun experiment! This already sounds like a bad idea. I know! We need the opposite of cold medicine! So we'll just make cold medicine, but, you know, do the opposite! That doesn't sound very scientific... Good idea, Marian! (What was I thinking? She's actually the perfect person to get me sick!) ?! Okay! I'll need some ingredients. No problem. (As long as Link is here.) Okay. So for the opposite of cold medicine, I'll need...Yellow Grass, Purple Grass, Grape, and Rice. That sounds about right, right? Sure, why not! Oh, and I just need one of each. So...I'm guessing the one who is going to gather all these ingredients is going to be...? Thanks, Link. I guess I didn't need to ask... I'll make you a super-duper, double extra-strength cold potion! Hey, she just needs a normal cold. I don't think she needs an extra-strength potion. Yeah! It'll be the strongest cold potion ever! One mouthful and she'll be knocking on heaven's door! She's not listening at all...  Uh, no thanks...The grasses I need are in-season, so no need to buy them. Although they're cheap enough that it wouldn't really matter if I got lazy.  Rice: Check.    Purple grass: Check, after making sure I picked the right one out of the three grasses that are some shade of purple.  Yellow grass: Check.    I'm starting to have second thoughts about this.   Grapes and dead goblins: Check.   Now we just need to find a good place to prepare it. A place to prepare it? Yeah! I can't make it here. This is where we make medicine, so I need to make it in some place that's the opposite of here! And where is that? (I hope it's not far.) Hm. So we'll need to do things opposite...Do you know how medicine is usually made?You go to the Pharmacy crafting station, find the apppropriate recipe, and go. Easy! What?! Umm... It's made by boiling stuff like grass and roots! I'm pretty sure it's a little more complicated than that...Yeah, you need your skill level high enough that you won't fail a bunch while crafting. You also need some medicine breads(or an FAQ) to find out the recipe. Not being Marian also helps. But we've gotta do the opposite today! So do you know what we're going to do? D) All of the above? Nope! We're going to freeze the crushed mixture with snow! Oh, I see. (Link wasn't even close.) ... Well, let's get to Vale:Entrance! But...that's so far... (I guess it's worth it if I can get a cold.)  Link: Master of good life choices. Music: Vale River    Marian mixes stuff with her syringe revolver for a minute...   More mixing...   Hey! Don't go to sleep in the snow! I hear a voice, but it's so distant...Sleep...calling me... Karina?!...you two know it's, like, three steps back to a non-winter zone, right?    We're cold! Then why are you waiting there? Because you told us to! Really? Oops. Well, whatever. It's not so cold. Are you kidding?  Here lies Karina, died of being too lazy to move out of the cold. Music: Home   No, you're not missing anything. The game warps from Vale River to Karina's room.  Hmph. She didn't need to! Falling asleep outside in the snow like that...That would give anyone a cold! Of all the stupid... Stop yelling... You're young! A little cold isn't going to kill you! Yeah...But that doesn't mean you have to yell at me. Whatever happened to that hardworking little girl I used to know? I... (It's not your fault, Mom...) ... ...? Hey, Mom. What...? I'm hungry. *sigh* Fine. I'll go make you something.  Well...I heard it was a big epidemic in the city. Huh? Everyone there had it. ... And, well, I didn't want to miss out on such a big trend. I see... *cough cough*! Link? (Are you...?) Ugh. I don't feel so hot... I see...Looks like I've already started the trend here. See? I told you it was cool to have this cold. ... Hey, by the way, I need to repay you...I'll put some medicine in there for you too. (Feel better.) ...Thanks. Well, bye then. (Ah, I'm tired...) And yes, this actually does give Link the Cold status effect(which you normally get from not sleeping several days in a row & slowly eats away at your RP).   Our prize is cold medicine and a bunch of leek seeds(which are a winter crop).   [citation needed] Vegetables are amazing...Maybe I should try harder to like them. And now for a small amount of Carlos time.   Carlos, that's over and done with. To be honest, it's a little complicated for me...because I can tell from the way she acts. You don't need to hide it from me any more. You're close to Carmen, aren't you? Huh? You're a good guy. But, I don't know if you're worthy of my sister. That's why I'm giving you this test. Carlos, I... Please, let me finish. Just humor me. Catch 2 Lover Snapper. It might sound crazy,. but I want to know what kind of man you are. You'll do it, won't you, bro'? I'm serious here. (Carlos...) Okay. It's a bro's promise then. I'll be waiting. ...and he's going to be waiting a long time, because although I have one Lover Snapper in my fridge, catching a second will take who-knows-how-long. Thankfully they spawn in any season, but they're still a rare fish.  I'll be back. Next time: I actually start advancing the plot again.

Hit By A Plot Truck  Summer's almost done, which you can tell because everyone in town is talking about the upcoming crop festival. This one will be harder since typhoons hate you and your attempts at leveling crops, but it's still not too bad.  But for today, I have bigger things in mind. Music: Vale River   I think I might be able to cross the river with a magic seed...now, where to find one?Link immediately hints at this dungeon's gimmick(and reminds you that magic seeds exist if you're like me and never use them).  The first couple screens go just fine with the help of my superaxe...  But I can only get as far as the crop patch before I have no way of crossing the river.   Access to the next tier of ore is appreciated anyway.  The way forward is tucked away in the flower shop for a mere 3200g.  Sadly, Link's not getting any banana magic today.   Like the sword magic seed, the lilypad has its own HP bar and will be targeted by nearby enemies. Remember that, it's going to be important. You can step on the lilypad to skate over the ground, but more importantly...   ...these ramps will let you go into and out of the water.  You can't get very far upriver before you're forced to go on land again, though.   Penguins are exactly as deadly as their name suggests.    This is also the point where you're stopped from just rushing to the end like you could in every other dungeon - it's not quite as inexplicable-yet-elegant as the room barriers in RF4, but it does the job.  That should do it!   Thankfully you can make a few shortcuts along the way, so you're not stuck doing the entire convoluted path when you return. And this case is mandatory, because...  Mysterious dungeon ice cream!  And also you need to kill the monsters on both sides of the river to proceed.  Even with rushing as much as I can, there's only so far Link can go in one day.  Thank god getting home is literally just a few uses of the Escape spell. Music: Festival Of course, now I have a festival to win!   That's a strange thing to think about. I mean green peppers are so good, but so many people don't like them! Tee-hee. You're such a nice girl, Monica.Hot take: Green peppers are okay, but red peppers are better.     Ah! It talked?!Hot take: Don't create talking vegetables.   ...In a cute bit of continuity, Gaius has decided to grow this season's vegetable in a higher tier of ore.   Brief refresher of the rules: Your flower/vegetable is judged by its level, how long it takes to grow, and whether it's in season. I've brought a small variety of summer vegetables because I'm honestly not sure which is the best.   This is quite seasonal. It fits the contest. This is well-grown. Your effort shows. Hmm, not bad! I can taste the love. Wonderful!   Karina, of all people?   We lost by 10 points. That's some bullshit. Reload.   Let's try a pumpkin instead. This is quite seasonal. It fits the contest. This must have taken a lot of effort. It's a tricky crop. I appreciate that. Hmm, not bad! I can taste the love. Wonderful!Wells' growth time phrase went from the generic one to the good one, so I think we've got this.   Nobody even came close to my score this time, so I'm inclined to believe that the cucumber round was just unlucky RNG bullshit.  And we get the traditional reward of a huge stack of cooking bread. Music: Vale River  Alright, back to the dungeon. We have a boss to beat!    If I defeat all the monsters in that cave, I might be able to move on.That's the dead-end cave I ended at last night. Guess I should go back in th-   -ere and beat up some flying skulls.  This room is actually really annoying, between all the stuff phasing in and out of visibility(and attack-ability) and the blue skulls hurling rocks and icicles at you.  These guys in particular take forever when you can only get in a hit or two before they phase out again.  Finally.  There's a second set of fields if you're a crazy person who wants to fight through an entire dungeon to water some crops. I think I'll pass.  And just past them is the entry to the boss room. About time!  Fun fact: You can murder the save point if you're not careful with your aim. (It comes back when you re-enter the room) And you'll probably want to save, because the boss is pretty hard if you don't know what you're doing(and don't have strong weapons dropped in your lap by the RNG).  Meet boss four. It's a wall. Of death. Named Death Wall.    The people of Norad are not very creative with names. I finally found you! I'll send you to the Forest of Beginnings! Here I come! Music: Death Wall  The first of this fight is that Death Wall slowly advances, leaving you with less and less of the screen to work with. The attack he's preparing here is a rapidfire line of icicles. He can also use a spiral of four icicles, icy rocks raining from above, icicles randomly(and rapidly) appearing from the ground, icicles that form a circle around you while launching at you one by one, and icicles rapidly fired all over the screen. I get the impression there may be an elemental theme going on here. None of these actually hurt that much on their own, but that's small comfort. Because...  After a couple hits the head detaches from the wall and starts attacking on its own.   Many of its attacks are still variations on throwing ice at you, but now they hurt a lot more.  Secret strategy: Keep your lilypad out, because he'll waste a lot of time attacking it.  But not all of his time. He can also turn into a sword for some reason.  And a drill. Once he turns red, he gets insanely fast and hard-hitting, to the point where it's hard to get a few hits in without getting instagibbed.  I only brought 5 healing potions into this fight, which was really, really poor planning.   But in the end, Death Wall died as he lived: Pointlessly attacking a lilypad.   Now I've sent all the monsters back to the Forest of Beginnings. Then...I bet there's going to be another orb. Godspeed, lilypad. You did good work.  We got a sentient piece of ice to use in crafting. Neat. Music: Mystery        That's it. That's the entire memory.   GEE WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS PLOT POINT COMING. But why would the flowers be part of my memory...?Time to go home, I guess.    I love that the timing for all these has people standing around in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. Were you looking at the tree? ... Um....Do you know something about the Sharance flowers? About the flowers? What? How can we get the Sharance flowers to bloom? How to get the Sharance flowers to bloom? Hmph. All I can say is that it hasn't happened for 50 years. But... You know. I think the flowers won't bloom because of those univir. !! Why is that? You know that the univir used to live here? Yes, I've heard. Ever since they left town, the Sharance Tree began to lose its brilliance. And then finally, it stopped blooming. I know they must've done something to the Tree because they were kicked out. But you don't have any evidence of that! Hmph. The fact is the Tree stopped blooming flowers. That's evidence enough.  Guys I'm really getting the impression that the fantasy racism might be a big plot point here. Maybe. Possibly. Potentially.  Thankfully Ondorus is up late(by Rune Factory standards).    The Sharance flowers? Why do you ask? I want them to blossom. ?! ...That might be difficult. !! Those flowers are special..They won't blossom normally. Especially in these circumstances... What does that mean? The tree will need the "bond beyond the races" to blossom its flowers. Basically, we must get along with the humans in order for its flowers to blossom. ... But the humans hate us, and we...Kuruna the way she is...I want the flowers to blossom, too, but...It's too difficult to make amends between humans and monsters.I think I'm figuring out a theme here. It's real subtle though, so I don't blame you if you haven't noticed it yet. I'll do it! You will? Unfortunately, you're a monster. You won't be able to do it... No...only I can do it. Why? ... (If I reveal myself now, I might worsen the situation...) Link? (But...This is all I can do! I know Ondorus will understand!)  I'm shocked... I'm sorry for hiding this from everyone. But I'm sure that they would listen to me because I am half monster and half human.  Note that Link changes back to wooly form. But what do you intend on doing if they do listen? We will hold a festival. A festival? Yes, a festival. One where both townspeople and monsters can come together and enjoy. That's the kind of festival I want to have. A festival bringing together monsters and humans. How about calling it a "Unity Festival"...that sounds like fun. Ondorus... Link, I'll do what I can to help. Thank you very much! I will speak with Kuruna. Your job will be to convince the humans.  Talk to the hyper-racist about reuniting the races. This can't possibly go wrong.  Wells, I know it's late, but can I axe you a question?   Yes. Then let's go to your house. I'm sure you'll feel more at ease. Yes. Thank you.  ...I want to hold a "Unity Festival". What are you talking about?! There's no way we can do that! But you said that you used to live together! *sigh* ...That was a long time ago. Why are you even bringing it up? I found out how to get the "Sharance flowers" to bloom. Is that right?! Yes... How?! A univir told me how... WHAT?! You went to see them?! Yes. According to him, "Sharance flowers" need the "bond beyond the races". The tree uses the "bond beyond the races" as nourishment for its flowers. How absurd!!I'd say he has a point, but this is a universe where a pancake-loving dragon has to die every so often to provide runes to the land & a man with a fantastic hat was prepared to eat a tank. Nothing is absurd here. When the tree grew before, it was when I made contact with the settlement. ...That can't be. I don't know how you managed to meet them. It's nourished by the "bond beyond the races"? Hmph! How absurd!! You have no evidence that he was telling the truth. I believe that I can be that proof... What do you mean? I'm actually half human and half monster. !! The tree grew because I linked the town's people and those in the settlement. What are you talking about...?  I've said this before, but it's really really fortunate that Link is half-Wooly and not half-troll or flying ice skull or something. I was able to link the town as a monster, and the settlement as a human... But I'm not enough to get the flowers to bloom!  I'm sorry I hid it from you... ... The "Unity Festival". I'd like to give you the permission, but I can't right now. I don't think that holding the "Unity Festival" as you hide your secret is wise. I'd like to hold the "Unity Festival" after you've revealed your secret. And if everyone's okay with it...I'll allow the "Unity Festival". Wells! Thank you very much!Fun fact: According to the text dump, Wells will flat-out not let you proceed if you haven't revealed your secret to any of the bachelorettes yet. This is presumably to put some brakes on a "rush the dungeons, ignore the townspeople" playthrough. Other fun fact: The bachelorettes have alternate dialogue for the Wooly reveal scenes in their quests if you've already gone through the upcoming bit. The reason should be obvious, but it's a nice touch anyway. Music: Love   Everyone in town is here, including Blue Butterfly and Random Bird. They're just...mostly offscreen. Trust me. I wanted to discuss something with all of you. I want to hold a Unity Festival to repair ties between the town and the desert settlement. What?! A what? Are you serious? What do you mean? Why would you do that? I want the Sharance Tree to blossom with flowers. We need the bond beyond the races for that..I want you all to help. If we live so close to each other, why not be friends? You think the univir will listen to us? I'll handle that. More customers would be nice! But can we really ask you to do everything? It's something only I can do. You have a plan? Well, not quite... You see, I'm......I'm both human and monster! The exclaimation bubble's getting some real work done today.  Oh... Really...? Weird...(But kinda cute.) So cute. 🎵  Even the game low-key acknowledges that this would go a lot differently if Link's monster form wasn't cute. You're not mad that I kept this secret? I mean, you're just a wooly... It's pretty funny. Too cute! I could do experiments on you. I agree! Woolies are not cute! Ha ha... So how are you going to convince them? They don't like humans, but they welcome monsters. They may listen to me, since I'm a bit of both. What if they insist that they love humans? Then what? I'll keep trying no matter how long it takes! Ha ha! Sounds like Link! Yes, he's a man who finishes what he sets out to do. Well, I don't see why not then! Everyone...Thank you for everything.  Yes, thank you very much. Don't thank me. This is everyone's choice. Yes.  Oh right, you're here. So that wooly was you, Link? I'm sorry I didn't say anything... It's okay. You must have been lonely with your secret. Let me know if I can help! I'm...I'm always on your side, Link! Thank you. Whew.  I think running back to the Univir settlement can wait until tomorrow.

Green Bell Peppers are more bitter than Red or Yellow Bell Peppers, but I think at this point it's in everything as that food kids think is icky because it's in everything already. It's the equivalent to inedible Christmas Fruitcakes in American media, a thing that doesn't really represent reality so much as it represents a narrative shorthand.

That raises a question, is Rusk still a kid? Does he have any excuses for not eating his vegetables? I'm pretty amused how Shara seems secretly upset Link never revealed his secret to her beforehand.

Changing Hearts With Pretty Flowers  It's a new day, and the response to Link's revelation is a shoulder shrug.   So much so that most people aren't even talking about it.   Give me lots of colored grass, okay? Ha ha...okay... And jam, too... Yes... And Wood and Rock and Flavored Radish and Miso Eggplant and Dried Sardines-- Stop! Stop!In short, nothing's changed. Except the fact that I can get normal conversations out of people while in woolyform now, but I'm not going to do that because  . Fall's right around the corner, so I stock up on seeds. Including our surprisingly beautiful friend the potato. Music: Monster Village   Talking to Ondorus suggests the settlement side of the negotiations might not go as smoothly as the Sharance side.    He dared to suggest that we reconcile with the vile Hornless! He claimed that it would cause Sharance flowers to bloom! Can you believe he even SUGGESTED such lunacy?! But...what if he's right? Don't you want the Sharance flowers to bloom? It would-- The Hornless deserve NOTHING but scorn! I will NEVER reconcile with the Hornless! EVER! KURUNA ANGRY! Good proofreading. (I'll go ask Ondorus for some advice.)  It's not like it's over yet! I was able to convince everyone in town. So we only have to convince Kuruna! I'll go talk to her! ?! Will you be okay? Yes! We have to at least try! I see...Good luck.  I'm somehow anticipating considerably more resistance than Wells put up. A festival to bring the humans and the settlement together.Music: Silence  ...I thought you were my comrade-in-arms! Why would you foist such poison on the settlement?! Well, why do you hate the humans so much? They expelled us. That's all I need to know. Let ME turn the question around. Why do YOU insist on defending the Hornless?! Because...I'm half-human.Music: Sadness I refuse to believe it! Prove it!  For the record, this reveal is 100% plot-gated instead of possibly being request-gated like the other bachelorettes. In fact, many of Kuruna's requests can't be done until we resolve this bit of plot! The humans have accepted the fact that I'm half-monster. They want to reconcile with the settlement. If they can reconcile, why can't you? Do not sully OUR settlement with YOUR alien presence any longer! But, Kuruna-- Out! ...I'll leave. But I'll be back. We're not actually forced out or anything. We can hang around shooting the poo poo as long as we want.  But this is all Kuruna will have to say if we talk to her again.   If only there was something to move Kuruna... Zaid has no ideas, Ondorus is out of ideas, and Kuruna is too busy being fanatically racist to hear us out. I guess we have no options left but moping in our house.    I didn't skip a line. That's actually how it goes. How did your talk with the univir go? ...Not well. Once they knew I was half human, it was all over. I see... I'm not giving up! There must be a way! Um...How about flowers? Flowers are like a mirror that shows how you feel. I'm sure that they'll understand. Flowers...alright! I'll grow flowers! I'll change Kuruna's mind with pretty flowers!That's somehow even stupider than the whole "the Sharance tree needs the bond between the races to make its flowers bloom" thing. Okay! I'm sure you can grow some, Link. Very pretty flowers. You should get started. I'll get you flower seeds, so come pick them up from me later. Thank you very much! Oh, and make some room in your backpack. You need to be able to accept the seeds from me.Operation: Pretty Flowers it is, I guess.   I'm sure glad this is a whole separate step.     Hey, that's not just one seed!  This many...? Thank you. You know, I was thinking...Since you are going to be growing flowers, why not use them to make a "Bouquet". Whoa! That's a good idea!Link is very easily impressed. I guess he was originally planning on just handing Kuruna clumps of flowers? We would have you grow many colorful flowers, then my grandfather can gather them together. Oh, I see! It'd be nice to have a Ribbon to bundle them together or Brooch to accent them. We don't have either of those at home...Translation: Both the Ribbon and Brooch are mandatory. Someone who might have a Ribbon, or someone who might make a Brooch...Okay! I'll do something about it! I'm sorry I couldn't be more help... Oh, don't be ridiculous! I'm just so grateful. Tee-hee, thank you very much. Once you have everything together, please come see me again.We're conveniently near the blacksmith's, and that's a pretty obvious stop for the Brooch, so let's get to it.   I see. So you're looking for a Brooch for that Bouquet. Okay. I'll make it. Really?! Or I'd like to, but I don't have the materials I need. I can get that! Really? That'd be a big help. The materials are--3 Silver. 2 Platinum. 1 Emerald. Just hand me the materials. I can get started once I have all of the materials. I love it when I can avoid fetch quests by having stuff in storage.   Taking the long way back, I run into the person we need for the Ribbon. Uh, no, that's okay! Thanks for thinking of me, though! I need to make a Bouquet for the univir, so I'm looking for a Ribbon! I figured that you might have one from one of your outfits. I'll even pay for it! Oh, no need! I'll give one to you! Wow, really?! Yeah, just gimme a sec! Here you go! That'll melt the heart of any univir! I'll let you know if it works! Hopefully Kuruna likes blue.  Well, I'll get started on it today. I should be done by tomorrow. Come by tomorrow to get it. Thank you. The real hassle will be waiting for all these seeds to grow. The Moondrop takes the longest at seven days. If I was thinking ahead I could have grew these earlier and saved them, but hey, we need a breather anyway. So let's show off an important mechanic the game silently introduces once you have high enough affection with a bachelorette:  Dates! Hit L or R during a conversation to bring up the invite menu, and if they have at least 7 hearts, you can invite them on a date. Music: Love   Surprise surprise, the true purpose of each of the side areas attached to each dungeon is a date spot. Yeah. But it wouldn't be so cool if it did that literally. Heh. Yeah, then we wouldn't be able to chat here! That would be pretty funny, wouldn't it? Hey, don't steal my material! Anyway, it's so relaxing here. Why don't we take a break? We trekked this far, so it wouldn't be a waste if we just went home. Sounds good to me! Each date has question time in the middle of it. The right answer is usually obvious, but here...uh...yeah, sure, top option.   Uh...that was confusing. I didn't know you felt that way about me! I'm devastated to hear that! Anyway, why do you ask? Just curious! You mean, when I feel unsatisfied? Well, when do you think you're happy? Hmm...when someone insults me, or when they ignore me! I'm especially happy when YOU insult me! Me, too! What? I just have fun when I'm with you. Ah. Anyway, it's nice to get together with you. Oh, always! After all, I hate you with every fiber of my being! So does that mean...? I'm just crestfallen whenever I'm with you! The feeling's mutual! Heh! I hate you too! Forever and ever! Why do you speak in opposites, Sofia? Well... To make lies into the truth. What? I want to be honest. That's what I decided I wanted. But why? ...   You don't actually have to escort them home, but we need to be back in town anyway.  Because this date actually unlocked the next Sofia quest! She's the only one it's mandatory to go on a date with to complete her quest line, iirc. I'll try to show off once date for each bachelorette before we get to the marriage vote stuff(which is finally approaching! Slowly! Finishing this Unity Festival stuff is required to get married.).   I want you to help spread a rumor! A rumor? What about? Evelyn's clothes! Nobody believes me, no matter how many times I say they're elegant! Sofia, you're actually pretty honest, aren't you? So I had a thought. If people misunderstand me because of my habit, then I can use you as the messenger! Well, I'm not sure if this'll work or not-- Excellent! Great minds think alike! Let's hit the road, my publicist! Oh, and we only need to talk to girls! Evelyn usually only makes women's clothing. Uh, okay.  These split-second reaction bubbles will be the death of me. So will the typos.   Hmmm, well...(I guess I'll ditch work.) You can't skip work. I know.Yeah, no skipping work until I've gotten my daily shipment money.    Yes, they may seem strange to the people here. But this is from my home country. I don't plan on wearing anything other than this. Even if Evelyn made something for me. A brilliant read...  It's too late for fashion for you. W-What?! I'm a big girl!  My. Is it like her other clothing? It's even more plain than ever. Is that right? I hope it sells. I see she's not planning on buying it...You know, weren't we supposed to be acting as the messenger? That sure went out the window immediately.   Oh no. Of course I love them! Then roll up your sleeves-- ... I could do that, or I could see the responses from all the other ladies anyway.   ... She knows what you're going to say.  Ah, those strange ones, huh? I don't think I could wear them. But you already wear pretty normal clothes. What?!thatsracist.gif   OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY! We have some barbeque clothes! Will that really tempt her? Food in the shape of clothes?! That's kinda wack, even for me! To be more accurate, they're clothes shaped like food.I mean, this is Evelyn we're talking about. They're probably also made of food.   But I'm sure it wouldn't look good on me... Then you should come to my home. Evelyn is never picky about anyone wearing her clothes. In the good sense. I-I see... Hi there, Sofia! Ordering a statue?! I really want one. Anyway, Evelyn's made a new outfit. Really?! Then I'll put it on one of my pieces! You think they're only for humans to wear? I don't know...That's everyone. Time to treck back to the mansion.   What's the problem? Nobody gets it. What do you mean? Evelyn's clothes are the problem. But here's the deal.  Could you elaborate? When I was a kid, she made me a necklace from garbage and clothing from rags once. But since I was young and didn't know any better, I told her I didn't want them.  In a normal world this would be where Evelyn learned that normal people don't want clothes made of random trash and food, but this is Rune Factory, so nobody is allowed to directly tell her her quirk is a problem. (For a more malevolent version, see Marian.) I'm sorry... I wanted to tell her I didn't mean it, that I was lying. That's how I started. If I did that, I was hoping I could somehow take back those words. "To make your lies into the truth." That's what you meant by it. I realized something though. She's always making clothes with someone in mind. She's just a bit off base... ...I think everybody understands.  And I think they like Evelyn. And they know you like her too, Sofia. What...?! I didn't say that. It's not necessary! Yes. I'll come again. ...No.  Our reward for continuing one of the town's many charades is high-tier gems. I'll take it.   Today on "reasons why I'm both glad and disappointed your armor doesn't show on the character model", Link crafts the world's gaudiest boots.  And then he goes to bed while the plot flowers grow and the plot brooch gets forged.

Link can just say he needed a replacement for his Iron Boots. Gold is very heavy, and doesn't rust or tarnish underwater. Of course, it's also non-ferrous, so no Twilight Princess magnetism shenanigans with Gold Boots.

It's Fall Or Something Music: Monster Village   In the settlement we've definitely been kicked out of, it turns today is Ondorus' birthday! He's been (trying to be) helpful, so I guess he deserves a present. What are you getting him? Oh! I'm getting him my special tropical juice! It's a great pick-me-up! Incidentally, Ondorus is going to give me the "if only we had something to move Kuruna..." bit every day I talk to him until I finish that bouquet. Peachy.  Then again, Kuruna won't even accept one of her loved gifts. This IS serious!  But not so serious I can't take a minute to make birthday juice for Ondorus.   Happy birthday, drink your juice.  There's fuckall I can do to advance the plot right now, so let's see what Pia's up to.   Might as well talk to the fam first.  A pillow. That's a pillow?! Well, good night. What?!  What?!Now that Link's in the proper mental state, let's talk to Pia.   But I didn't ask you here to talk! I asked you here to HUG! Hug?! Turn into a Wooly! Now! You're so much softer than a fish! You don't have any Wooly scales! Yeah, scales don't really go well with fur... That's too bad. Scales are CUTE! Sorry I can't help you out there. Oh, well! Let's get to HUGGIN'! Rated E for Everyone. That was good! It's freezing! What is this?!  Oops! I forgot to heat the bath! What's going on?!  Gah! That stung, Pia! You're usually not so careless with the bathwater! I got distracted talking with Link! Is that so? Oh, and we're out of bathwater additives. Hey, Link! Could you get something for me? Uh, sure. Get me a Charm Blue! I'll be waiting! Okay. I'll be right back.  Hey, Pia. What? I've been wondering. Do you like Link? Yep! And I like you, too, Sakuya! Oh, I don't mean like that! Lemme get into details here...   Pia's going to be waiting a while for that Charm Blue, since the flower shop only carries the seeds. What awkward timing.  Fall starts tomorrow, but I plant it in the fall dungeon just to get this done a day sooner.     Let's go on a date with Daria instead. To the surprise of no one, her favorite date spot is the rainbow in Oddward Valley. Music: Love  Ha ha...You sure like rainbows. This is so great! I'm so happy! Thanks for bringing me! I'm glad you're happy. Hey, let's rest here. Okay? Sure thing. As if there was any other choice here. No! You need to have more respect for rainbows! Respect?! Yeah! Just take a deep breath...Calm yourself... Rainbow! By the way, can I change the subject? S-Sure. As opposed to flying on the ground? Don't you ever wish you could fly? It's so unfair. Ha ha! Now I just need wings! I thought so. Well, do something about it. Oh, let's be serious here. Yeah, sure, farming. And crafting, and cooking, and pharmacy-ing, and forging, and mining, and fighting, and You're so wrapped up in farming. Makes me jealous. Of farming. O-Of farming? Why can't you be wrapped up in me? Ummm...?Rated M for Mature. A-As my assistant! As my assistant! Ah... And that's the end of that date.  Since I need to fish more anyway, now's as good of a time as any to show off Carlos' Resort.  So there's two main reasons you'd go here. One is that fish respawn a lot quicker than in normal fishing spots & have less room to wander in. The other is that you can request specific fish to catch...   ...from a short list, with an additional fee. Unfortunately, the fish I really want(a lover snapper to keep going down Carmen's quest line) isn't an option, so I don't stock anything specific.    This is all-you-can fish once you enter, so if you were really trying to minmax things, you'd want to enter as soon as it opened.   I don't catch anything too notable.  But I do get plenty of fodder for grinding Cooking skill. I'm at the point where I'm gaining skill slower than I'm getting cooking bread, but fishing helps since basically everything can be fried or made into sashimi. Music: Fall  Onward to fall! Incidentally, Link's birthday is on the 16th. The game automatically uses whatever birthday you set in the DS & translates it to the appropriate season.  Among all the other stuff I'm planting, I dig out these gold potato seeds from the flea market. Shiny produce will be mine.   Planting happens.  Raven quests happen.    Trolling Rusk happens.   You helped me rediscover a part of myself. You're welcome! ...Wait, I didn't hear any opposite-speak. Has she opened up to me?  On the way to Raven, I remember to pick up the plot brooch. Which is a dolphin for reasons known only to Gaius.  Or maybe just because it's cool. Ha ha, it was my pleasure. Link, I'm praying for you. Thank you!   It is every citizen's duty to help out Dwarf Dad. Don't let her notice. So sneak up behind her? Are you a ninja?Maybe Ninja Dwarf Dad needs different advice. >Give her a present Like a longsword and a pile of iron? Why would you come up with that...? Probably because I'm clueless. But why iron? Who doesn't like iron?Sadly there's no option to suggest Ironleaf to him instead. (He's into Evelyn, in case you forgot)   Yes. But what was so important? ...Come to Vale:Entrance with me. I'll tell you everything there. What? ...Please. ...Yeah, okay.Music: Vale River     Should be done soon. See, now you can walk--  Ah...! (And when Raven's here...And what is this feeling...?) No!  Horray, we finally got the world's least surprising revelation over with! Raven? Phoenix Raven gets a new portrait, but only the one expression. Because bird and all.  ...I'm fine. Link is slightly slow on the uptake. Huh...? What's the matter? Link... You're... Raven is somehow even slower on the uptake. How do you not notice you shifted from human to giant bird?! What...?! Why...?! So it really is you, Raven? ...!  This scene would probably make more sense if I hadn't just done the "Link reveals he's half-monster, nobody in the village cares" thing. That figure...Is Raven...?Get with the program already! And that light. That feeling... Anyway, I need to go after Raven!  ...This is scary, isn't it? What? It's fine. I wonder why I couldn't tell you... Tell me what? That light...I knew it was my fault, but I couldn't say it... ... Because I didn't want you to see me like this. I didn't want you to hate me...  ...  Incidentally, this is where Link would have started the "I'm half monster" reveal if I hadn't done the reveal in the main plot yet.    You're leaving me, too? No, Raven. Huh...? Because coming from beyond it was some smell that I seem to remember. I sensed it from you, too. And a memory of that same smell... What do you mean...? I'm sure, not everyone disappeared. They just returned. Returned to where they wanted to go home to. Isn't that right...? ...! But...! ...Okay...  How convenient that we couldn't understand that Wooly until after we resolved all this baggage. Huh...?  ...Yes... Hey, Raven. Could you show me again? Your other form? Huh...? I want to get a good look at what you look like transformed.Getting a little weird, Link. ...  I knew it. Huh...? By the way, I hadn't thanked you for saving me when I fell off the cliff. Thanks... Oh, umm... Actually, I thought you looked really beautiful. And I'm thinking that now, too. ...!  Link, please, the technical term is tsundere and  ...    Okay, bye then. Oh...This is for you... What? Thanks to you, I'm not alone anymore... ...  ... Our prize is a thing that increases skill xp gain. I think I have one already, but it's the thought that counts.   I'm right here, so might as well get a Raven date out of the way. Music: Love    Maybe to the end of the world. Then we'd be looking at the same scene as the end of the world. Oh...Yes..Maybe you're right. Hey, how about we take a little rest here? OK. Hey, Link. What? Engaging troll engines. ... Or I thought I'd ask, but there's no way... Raven...? ...Stop breathing... W-Wait, that far? OK, let's magically make that not happen and go with Yes instead. I...see... What's the matter? With who? What? Never mind... Really...? But why do you ask? ...I was just curious... I'll be showing all of these because the 'wrong' answers are both pretty great. Sofia? Or Karina? It was just a joke... Pia? The forest elf? Wait...Marian? Now that I think about it, this town is full of strange people.  Yaaay... Huh...? ... ...Forget it.  ... Um, Raven...? But...that's your type. Well...maybe. ...Hey, Link. Answer me honestly. What? Alright, enough messing around. ...! I see... What about you? ... I like you... Huh? Well, let's go soon.Date end.   In more alarming news, Marian is falling for us. W-What...? Yeah, you might be right....is she calling Link ugly? >All you need? All you need is love...? I'm sorry.>A tennis score? Fifteen serving love!OK, let's get out of here before she gets any funny ideas.  She'll never find us on this island in the middle of the lake!  ...that has nothing on it except this mysterious gate we can't open. Curious.  There was also a mysterious inaccessable island back in the forest. Thanks to the power of lilypad, Link can go there now!  This is a Very Bad Idea. We are 500% not meant to be here yet.  Presenting Crystal Mammoth.   It can one shot us. We're really, really not supposed to be here yet.  Luckily, the penalty for dying is basically a rounding error in Link's wallet. And our lilypad automagically warps into the clinic with us.  I think Link's earned his rest.
