Kai (DS)

Kai  (アイン Ain) is a character in Harvest Moon DS and Harvest Moon DS: Cute. He is one of the eligible bachelors to court in Cute.

Unlike other bachelors from Mineral Town, Kai will appear in the game regardless of whether players connect their game with Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town or Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town or not. Kai will come to the valley every Summer. He will set up his snack shack on the beach for the duration of the Summer season. Unless married to Kai, he will leave in Fall and return the following Summer.

If you marry Kai in Cute, he will live in the valley all year long. He still sets up his snack shack on the beach each Summer.

Heart Events
Black Heart Event

Walk on to the beach on a sunny day for Kai's first event.

As Kai calls you over from his snack shack, he offers you a free meal as his treat. Kai is happy you're enjoying his food and has a question for you. Kai wants to know if it bothers you that he pats you on the back when he says hello, so tell him that you don't mind and he will be relieved. That's just his own personal way of saying hello to people, but assures you he isn't trying to be flirtatious. Kai suggests that you get back to work and you leave the beach.

Purple Heart Event

Walk to the beach on a sunny day when Kai has a purple heart or higher. The black heart event has been previously watched for this event to trigger.

You walk over to Kai's snack shack but he isn't there. Kai calls out to you from a spot on the beach near the shore. While Kai is taking a break from work for a while, he invites you over to join him under the shade of a large beach umbrella. Kai comments on what a beautiful hot day it is today and asks what your favorite season is.

Tell Kai that Summer is your favorite season which will make him very happy. Kai wonders what else you both have in common. Kai is finished his break now and is going to go back to work so encourages you to do the same.

Note: Kai will also respond positively if Spring or Fall is chosen as a favorite season, but only responds negatively if you choose Winter.

Blue Heart Event

Walk to the beach between 2pm and 5:30pm on any sunny day that isn't Thursday. Kai must have a blue heart or higher and both earlier heart events must have been watched previously.

As you visit Kai at his shack, he offers you some Baked Corn that he made by mistake. Just as you are about to eat it, Murrey sees that you have food and asks if he could have it, as he is very hungry. If you offer Murrey your food, he will be so happy and thankful, then leaves with his meal.

Kai thinks that you are very generous but becomes embarrassed, quickly suggesting that you go back to work now, but hoping that you come back soon.

Yellow Heart Event

Enter the Inner Inn between 6:30pm and 10pm on a sunny day. Kai must have a yellow heart or higher and all earlier heart events must have already been watched.

Enter the Inn to see Kai and Ruby talking. They both welcome you and tell you that they were talking about where the Harvest Goddess lives. Does she live here in the valley, or does she live in a spring that they have in Mineral Town? Kai suggests you go with him to the spring here in town to find out. Agree to go with Kai and you'll arrive at the spring.

Kai thinks that the spring looks beautiful, even if there is no Goddess. In Mineral Town it's said that making a wish at the spring will make it true. You decide to try it, so wish for Kai to like you. After you've both made your wish, Kai will ask you what your wish was. You tell Kai that you wished to become closer with him, which was also Kai's wish! He thinks that your wishes will both come true and offers to walk you home.

Kai takes you back to your farm. He says that he will have good memories of this night and tells you to get some rest before leaving.
