Rick (FoMT)

Rick is an eligible bachelor in Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town.

Rick is a kind-hearted young man who runs the Poultry Farm with his family. As the head of the household, he has to worry about his ailing mother and his younger and naive sister, Popuri. He has a certain resentment towards his father, Rod, who left long ago to search for a cure to his mother's illness. He takes issue with the fact that Popuri spends her summers with Kai, possibly because he seems to be romantically interested in his sister.

Rick tries his best to protect his sister, care for his mother, and maintain his relationship with his long time friend, Karen. He also works hard to help run the Poultry Farm. His temper can be short, but deep down, Rick means well.

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 than Karen, and you will not be able to see the event.

You must exit the Spring Mine on a sunny day. It can be Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or Saturday between 11am and 6pm.

Karen will ask Rick about his Father. Rick instantly becomes upset, because he hasn't heard from his Dad, and he doesn't understand why he could just run off like he did! Karen defends his Dad, explaining that he only left to find a cure for Lillia.

Karen says that they can take care of things when he's gone, and Rick agrees.

Blue Rival Heart Event

Rick gets embarrassed when Lillia asks if he's going to propose to Karen soon. Their feelings have always been apparent, so why hide it?

Karen and Rick will get married 7 days after this event.

Your wife/you will give birth in 60 days, and you will have a baby. For the first 60 days, they will be sleeping in the bed and you cannot interact with them, but after those 60 days, your baby will grow into a toddler, and you can talk and give gifts to them.

In Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town, your child can only be male.

Other Events
Taking Care of Lillia

Lillia will tell you that the store isn't open for business today, as she's feeling a little bit under the weather. Popuri and Rick are nowhere to be found, until Rick returns to the house with medicine with Popuri following shortly after, also bringing back medicine! Lillia is happy that her children both care so much about her.

After the event is over, the Poultry Farm will be locked until the following day.

Rick and Kai's Argument



During the Summer season, walk onto Mineral Beach between 1pm and 5pm.

Rick finds Kai at the beach and starts to yell at Kai about his sister, Popuri. Rick doesn't want Kai hanging around his sister, but Kai tells Rick that Popuri should have the right to do whatever she wants. In fact, Kai feels bad that Popuri has Rick for a brother!

Rick angrily storms off, unable to believe that Kai could say such a mean thing to him.

Customers For Kai

The event starts when your character walks into Kai's restaurant between 5-7pm. Triggering the event will cause the day to end.

Kai greets you and says that he doesn't have any customers, as usual. Popuri suddenly calls and walks into the restaurant, excited, telling Kai that she brought customers for him. He's excited as he sees the first few customers come in. Popuri then says that there's more customers outside. Kai's happy that he has customers, but is worried that it's going to be too difficult to cook for them all. He asks the player to help and you agree. The scene shows you, Kai, and Popuri scrambling around the restaurant trying to serve everybody.

After all the customers have been served, your character, Kai, and Popuri are alone in his restaurant. Kai is tired after working so hard. 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 has so few customers. He thanks your character and you go home.

Rick's Worries

This event can only be seen after Karen and Rick get married. Visit the Poultry Farm between 4:30pm and 7pm in any season that's not summer.

At the Poultry Farm, you'll see Rick and Karen talking. Rick is feeling anxious about the store. Because Popuri has gotten married and moved away, she's not here anymore to help with the farm. Rick doesn't know when his father is going to return either! Karen tries to comfort her husband and assures him that she can help with the farm in Popuri's place.

Rick feels slightly relieved after hearing this.
