Max (マックス・レムナンド・ヴィヴィアージュ, Makkusu Remunando Viviāju) is the son of Herman, the richest man in town. He is well-rounded, vain and somewhat spoiled. He is also quite strange at times, but he is very willing to help you win his sister's heart. He doesn't like the rumor spreading around that he's a coward, and will ask you to bring him back a war trophy so he can brag about killing a monster. Max is the rival for Julia, he will marry her on Winter 11, year 4 if you haven't already.
Max is at the Monster Taming Tournament (Summer 7) from 6:00AM ~ 9:00PM. If he marries Julia, he will be on the 2F of De Sainte-Coquille Manor until the next generation starts.[1]

Max
Hello, <Player>! I can tell Rosalind is thinking about you a lot these days.
Max
You two really seem to be spending quite a lot of time together.
Kyle
Yeah. Rosalind is really special to me.
Max
Hmm. You certainly have been a good influence her. I've never seen her this cheerful and outgoing.
Max
Thanks, <Player>. I really appreciate it. I hope you'll continue to look after Rosalind.
Kyle
I will.
Max
Oh, another thing... It's probably none of my business, but... My sister has always hoped for a true fairytale romance. I still remember her favorite story growing up. At the end of it, a red-haired knight on a white horse presents the princess with a <Item> and sweeps her off her feet. That story... Being swept off her feet by a man with a bouquet of roses... Well, I know that's something Rosalind has always hoped that the man who would be her husband would do for her. In other words, a <100-ROSE BOUQUET> has a special meaning for Rosalind. So... If you're really serious about Rosalind, and are willing to do whatever it takes to make her happy... You need to bring her a bouquet of 100 roses.
Kyle
Really? But where am I going to find that many roses?
Max
Hmm. <Player>, have you ever grown tomatoes on your farm?
Kyle
Uh...tomatoes?
Max
That's right, tomatoes. I love them. There's nothing better than a ripe TOMATO, fresh from the vine. I want you to bring me nine of them.
Kyle
What! Nine TOMATOES?!
Max
That's right. Then we'll do a swap. See, here's the deal. The flower that looks the most like the one from the illustration in the fairytale is a variety called the "Geschule." So you'll want a bouquet of those. However, a single "Geschule" flower goes for 68000G at the market.
Kyle
What?! Flowers can be that expensive?
Max
They can indeed. However, I can get them without much trouble.
Max
But if I just give it to you for free, it won't mean anything when you give it to Rosalind. A gift that costs you no money, thought, or effort has no value, no matter how perfect it is otherwise. So you have to give me a fair price for the bouquet. What you want most is my sister's hand in marriage, so the bouquet is worth a lot to you. But what I want most in the world right now is nine fresh, juicy TOMATOES. So that will be a fair price for the bouquet.
Kyle
I understand what you're saying, Max. Nine TOMATOES sounds like a very fair price!
Max
Hmmm.
Max
Glad to hear it!
Max
When you want that <100-ROSE BOUQUET>, you know where to find me. Just bring me 9 TOMATOES in exchange.
