Introduction
Upon reaching Romance Level 3 with Nai'o, he will visit the Player at their home.
Upon talking to Nai'o
- Nai'o
- You're here! Good, I was worried I'd miss you.
- Player
- Where else would I be?
- Nai'o
- In town, or running around Bahari, or maybe you came to the farm when I left and we would have missed each other.
- Player
- Miss me that much?
- Nai'o
- ...Yeah, I did.
- Nai'o
- Feels like it's been a while since we got to talk, just the two of us together.
- The farm's been swamped lately. Seems like as soon as I get one thing under control, something else breaks.
- And the rest of the farm's even busier. If I finish my stuff, maybe I can help them faster.
- Player
- You work too hard.
- Nai'o
- Me? No way, my family works way harder than I do. Speaking of, I've got to finish chores.
- Sorry I couldn't stay longer... but just seeing you makes me feel like I can take on the world.
- Player
- Can I help?
- Nai'o
- I couldn't possibly ask you to help. These are my problems, so I've got to fix them myself.
- Still, it means a lot you'd ask...
- A-anyways, I'd better get going. Sorry I couldn't stay longer.
- Nai'o
- Oh, man, I almost forgot! Ma made you some food. Okay, bye, (Player)!

Upon talking to Delaila
- Delaila
- There you are! Have you eaten yet?
- Oh, here. Even if you have, it's always nice to have leftovers in the fridge!
- I wish I could stay and chat more, but these ormuu won't feed themselves.
- Player
- Can I help out?
- You don't have to do something like that!
- Though, I suppose, if I finished work up early I could have some time to myself before dinner...
- Player
- I insist.
- Player
- I've got the extra time.
- Player
- You deserve to treat yourself!
- Delaila
- Well... alright, I s'pose one day couldn't hurt... Maybe I can finish reading that novel.
- Feed's over in the giant pile of hay near the ormuus. All you need to do is measure out the right amount and distribute it.
- If you run into any trouble, you just let me know!

Upon talking to Delaila after feeding the Ormuus
- Delaila
- Done already? You're a real blessing, (Player). Here I was, expecting to work until midnight again.
- Well, don't let it be said the Daiyas don't pay back every kindness. You ever need help, you just come to me, dearie.
- I've always got time for you.
Upon talking to Auni
- Auni
- Aw man... This sucks.
- Oh, hiya, (Player)! Maybe you can help me out...
- Player
- What's wrong?
- Auni
- Well, see, I was play- /i/testing out some new smoke bombs for the Bug Scouts, but I broke them.
- I guess my arm's just too strong. And I was gonna make some new ones, but I ran out of sweet leaf!
- And no, before you, it WASN'T cuz I ate it all! Mom keeps most of it locked in the highest cupboard...
- Do you think you could get me some sweet leaf? I promise, I'll send you HALF of anything I catch!
- Player
- You can keep the bugs!
- Auni
- Really? Wow, yo'ure seriously the COOLEST! Thanks, (Player)!!
- Player
- Deal
- Auni
- Yes! Thanks, (Player)!

Upon bringing Sweet Leaves to Auni
- Player
- Sweet leaf delivery!
- Auni
- Yes!! I'm gonna catch so many cool things tonight! Just, um, don't tell my mom, okaly?
- She hates when I bring new bugs into the house. But I'll keep them OUTSIDE the house this time!
Upon talking to Badruu
- Badruu
- Now where'd I put my darn watering can? I had it right here a minute ago...
- Oh, (Player)! You haven't seen it, have you?
- Player
- Is it in your hand?
- Badruu
- I already checked. Twice! But lemme look agains for good measure...
- Nope!
- Player
- You can borrow one of mine!
- Badruu
- A farmer can't just use someone else's tools! The weight will feel all wrong! I might spray water everywhere!
- Player
- Nope.
- Badruu
- Darn... and here I was hoping you were psychic!
- Badruu
- Welp, that decides it.
- I'll have to use my hat!
- Player
- I can find your watering can.
- Badruu
- Oh boy, you CAN?
- Well, water you waiting for? We have thirsty tomatoes at stake!
- No, but seriously, I'd really appreciate the help. And so would my hat!

Upon bringing Badruu his watering can
- Badruu
- You found it! I'd recognize my lucky can anywhere!
- It's also my only can. That's what makes it so lucky.
- Player
- Looks like chapaas stole it.
- Badruu
- Can't say I'm surprised. Those little critters have been getting bolder lately.
- Anyways, I'd better get back to it before the veggies revolt from poor treatment!
- Last time it happened, they were almost unBEETable.
Completion
Upon talking to Nai'o at home
- Nai'o
- Hey...
- Player
- Hey!
- Player
- *Hey.*
- Player
- H-Hey...
- Nai'o
- Hey.
- Sorry, I just... sometimes I see you and forget what to say.
- My family's been talking about you. They all said you helped them out.
- Player
- They work too hard!
- Nai'o
- You work hard too, (Player). Harder than anyone else I know, and you still have time to help.
- Player
- It was nothing, really.
- Nai'o
- No...it was everything. You're always so busy, but you still found time to help out.
- Player
- Anything to help out!
- Nai'o
- You're amazing. And you're dating me??
- Nai'o
- I just... I wanted to come thank you myself. They matter a lot to me, and so do you, so...
- Man, come on, Nai'o! Look, you know words aren't really my strong suit, so I thought...
- Well. When my parents met, I mean, not that you and I are my parents, or anything, it's just-
- I wrote you a song!
- Player
- A song? For... me?
- Nai'o
- Of course it's for you.
- Player
- I can't wait to hear it!
- Nai'o
- You meant it? Okay... okay. I can do this!
- Player
- I *REALLY* can't wait to hear it!
- Nai'o
- You meant it? Okay... okay. I can do this!
- Nai'o
- It's the first time I've written a song, so I'm kinda nervous...
- "Your eyes are the color of my favorite flower."
- "Your voice flows in the wind like waves upon sea."
- "Your smile can keep me up for hours."
- "All I want to know is, will you be with me?"
- So what do you think?
- Player
- I LOVED it!
- Nai'o
- Really? I kinda struggled with it. The thing is, there's just... so much I like about you.
- And it's hard to put that lal in a copule lines. I'd have to write a whole... a whole opera or something, and it wouldn't be enough.
- Player
- That was definitely a song.
- Nai'o
- I donno if you could tell, but I kinda struggled with it. There's just... so much I like about you.
- And it's hard to put that lal in a copule lines. I'd have to write a whole... a whole opera or something, and it wouldn't be enough.
- Player
- I don't know what to say.
- Nai'o
- You don't have to say anything. Well, there's one thing you could...
- Nai'o
- I also... made this, for you. It's my pin.
- I want this thing between us to last. Forever, if it can.
- So... will you accept it? Please say yes.
- Player
- Yes!
- Nai'o
- That's okay, I figu- wait. Yes?
- You said yes? To me?
- Player
- Of course I did!
- Nai'o
- That's... I mean.
- Player
- Should I say it again?
- Nai'o
- I mean, if you want to. I just...
- Nai'o
- You said yes!
- Okay, okay, uh. Here, this pin is for you. And, (Player)?
- I promise I'll be everything you need and more.
After-Quest
Upon the quest's completion, a letter in the mail from Auni will arrive
Dear (Player), I know you said I could keep the bugs, but I figured I should still thank you for helping me out! Here's some jam I saved from my stash. I promise, I didn't even sneak it from the cupboards. Thanks again, (Player)! You're the best!!
Auni
Attachment: 3 Jelly
Notes
- There may be a possible inconsistency in the quest where Auni states to have made smoke bombs but the quest objective states making bug traps.
- Auni's after-quest letter may differ depending on whether the Player chose to take some of the bugs or let him keep the bugs.
- The Romance option never appears again after the first conversation with Nai'o after coming back home.
