• Note: An additional requirement for this event is that your stamina must be at 50% or less when you go to the trigger location. Make sure to do some work before attempting to see this event.

Visit Mineral Beach on a Tuesday or Friday between 1PM and 5PM. You see Kai on the beach, but as you approach him, your character faints! Kai calls for help and brings you to the Clinic.

Doctor will say that you've fainted from heat exhaustion! Kai asks you to take it easy with your farm work, as it's easy to get over exhausted in the hot weather. If you tell him that he might be right, Kai is pleased and will give you a good luck charm.

Yellow Heart Event

Requirements: Watched all of the previous events, Kai is at a yellow heart.

You can see this last event by going to Mineral Beach on a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Saturday between 9AM and 11AM. Kai will be standing at the dock, in deep thought. Kai's upset at the thought that nobody in town likes him much, because of his personality. Kai can't help the way that he is, and asks your character if he should change.

If you convice Kai to stop thinking about it, and that he's fine, it will make him feel better. Kai believes it's best to just be honest with himself.

Rival Heart Events

• NOTE: If you raise your heart level up too much with any of the bachelors, you will NOT be able to see events between the rival couples. If you have a bigger heart with a bachelor then the event you are trying to watch, you will not be able to see the event. Example: You try to see the green heart event between Rick and Karen, but you have Rick at a red heart. Rick likes you more then Karen, and you will not be able to see the event.

Black Rival Heart Event

It must be summertime, on a sunny day to see the first event. It will take place on Mineral Beach in between 3PM and 4PM. Popuri has just finished eating some food that Kai made, and questions him about his cooking. Kai's cooking is certainly unique! Popuri wonders if her Mom would feel better eating some of Kai's cooking. Kai says he will be more then happy to make Lillia some food, if it makes her feel better!

Blue Rival Heart Event

It must be summertime, and it must also be sunny outside. Go to Mineral Beach between 9AM and 7PM to see Kai and Popuri talking. Popuri has come to thank Kai for the food that he made for her mother. Rick interupts, however, and is very upset that Kai is talking to his sister. Rick demands that Popuri comes home, and after a few exchange of words between Rick and Kai, Popuri agrees to go home.

Green Rival Heart Event

You must wait until summertime in Year 2 or later. Make sure it's sunny, then walk down to Mineral Beach on a Sunday in between 2PM and 4PM. Kai and Popuri are talking about their families, and Popuri still doesn't understand why Rick doesn't like her seeing Kai! Kai defends her family however, at least they're nice, unlike his own family. Popuri is jealous that Kai has been able to travel, and says she wishes to do so in the future.

Orange Rival Heart Event

It must be Year 4 or later to see the last rival event. Enter the Poultry Farm between 11:30AM to 4PM on any day except for Sunday. Kai and Popuri will announce that they are leaving Mineral Town together! Rick disagrees (naturally), and starts to blame Kai for planting this idea in his sister's head. Lillia diffuses the argument, and gives Popuri her permission. Lillia's only request is that Kai keeps Popuri happy forever. Kai and Popuri will get married 7 days after this event.

• NOTE: After Kai and Popuri's wedding, the two will leave at the end of Summer together. Both Kai and Popuri will then only be available during the summer season.

Other Events

Customers For Kai

The event starts when your character walks in the Kai's resturaunt at 5-7 PM. Kai greets you and mentions that he doesn't have any customers, as usual. Not that he cares. Suddenly Popuri calls and walks into the resturaunt, excited, telling Kai that she brought customers for him. He's excited as he sees the first few customers come in (Carter, Harris, and Barley). Popuri then states that there's more outside as Thomas and Gourmet come in. Kai's happy that he has customers but is worried that it's going to be too difficult to treat them all with ease. He asks the player to help and you agree. The scene rolls on showing you, Kai, and Popuri scrambling around the resturaunt trying to serve as many customers as possible.

First scene shows Thomas, Carter, Harris and Barley. The next roll shows Rick, Lillia, and Zack at the table in the front left corner. Next scene show Elli, Ellen, and the Doctor in the table in the front left corner and Stu standing by the register. After them in Karen, Sasha and Jeff at the same table as the last two families and Won at the table next to them. Next is Ann, Doug and Cliff at the front left table and Van at the table next to them. Following them is Mary, Anna, and Basil at the table that all the other large groups were at and Luu at the table next to them. Next slide shows Manna and Duke at the front left table and May accompanied by Gotz at the front right table. After them, Gray and Saibara are at the front left table and Kappa (much to your character's confusion) is at the table to the right. The final slide shows the Harvest Sprites scattered around the resturaunt with Timid sleeping on the floor.  Gourmet is at the back table throughout the entire scene constantly eating with the "G-o-o-d" bubble over his head. Regardless of whether you unlocked them or not, Van and Luu will still appear there. (Pretty much every character except for the Harvest Goddess was present)

After all those customers are gone, your character, Kai, and Popuri are alone in his resturaunt once more. Kai is clearly tired after working so hard after serving all of those customers. He tells Popuri that he's grateful for the customers, but she brought too many! Popuri apologizes for overdoing it and Kai admits that he might be glad that he actually has such few cutsomers. He thanks your character and you go home.

• NOTE: Triggering this event will cause the day to end!
