Rick

1. Guide Home »
2. Getting Married

Rick helps his mom Lillia and sister Popuri manage the local poultry farm. He's a resourceful and helpful young man. Rick takes his big-brother role a little too seriously and tends to be overprotective of his little sister. Ever since his dad left town in search of a flower that would improve Lillia's health, Rick has done the best he can to care for his family.

Birthday: Autumn 27 (primary) or Autumn 23 (alternative)

Bonus LP: Earn +2500 when your chickens have an average of 150 (6 hearts), 180, 210, 230, and 250 points (10 hearts) of affection.

Rival: Karen

Schedule: On most days of the week, Rick will start his morning by heading to the bench outside of Jeff's general store, where he'll hang out with Karen until 9:00 am. He'll then walk back to the poultry farm, arriving around 10:00 am, and stay there until around 7:00 pm. At that time he'll be at the inn at 8:20 pm, and then return back to the poultry farm at 10:00 pm. On Tuesdays he'll go to Rose Plaza instead of Karen's sweet, sweet bench, and then from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm he'll be visiting Saibara at his shop.

On rainy or snowy days he stays at the poultry farm all day, but still manages to spend the evening at the inn.

If you marry Rick, he begins his day inside of the farm house, but then goes through his normal schedule (even going to the inn in the evenings) and returns to your home around 10:00 pm.

Rick is upstairs by the table. Did you come upstairs to help with cleaning the room? You notice a wristwatch on the table next to Rick. He explains that his dad gave it to him. When his mom became sick, his dad left in search for a flower that can cure Lillia's sickness, but he hasn't returned yet. Rick wonders where his dad is now and why he hasn't contacted them. His mom is quite lonely. Ah, Rick is sorry. When he looks at the watch he starts to think about his dad. He must sound boring.

It looks like Rick is really busy with something. He scolds you for sneaking up on him, though he is still glad that you came for a visit. Unfortunately, at the moment he is busy with the shop. Rick has finished with checking inventory, and now that remains is taking care of the chickens. Currently he is stuck minding the store and can't find Popuri to take care of that task for him. You volunteer help him tend to the birds. At first he is hesitant, but realizes that there are times where he must rely on his sweetheart.

Outside in the chicken pen, one of the birds becomes a little rambunctious. Rick demands the chicken to behave, without much success, but your gentler handling of the situation calms the bird down. Rick is impressed with how you handled the rowdy chicken. After all, you are a rancher and is accustomed to taking care of animals. Rick becomes a bit discouraged, as he hasn't found a good balance between being a shopkeeper and taking proper care of their poultry.

Rick finished his farmwork and has stopped by to see if you would like to go out somewhere together. You both head out to Mother's Lake for a lunch picnic. The fresh air feels so nice! He admits that while he enjoys caring for animals, he also has a responsibility to take care of the poultry store. It's nice to get out and take a break. Rick thanks you again for helping him with the store the other day, and for being so nice to Popuri and Lillia.

Rick confides in you that he worries whether his dad will ever come home. Since Lillia's in poor health and Popuri is so young, Rick though his role was to work hard at the shop to support his mom and sister. He felt overwhelmed and that he didn't have much of a choice in the matter, and doesn't get a chance to relax at all. But then you came along, helping him with the shop and becoming friends with his family. Rick is glad that he doesn't feel so alone anymore!

Back at your farm, Rick thanks you for going out with him today. He had a good time and would like to go out together again another day.
