	First Meeting	Hi, I'm the village mailman. Name's Harris. Nice to meet you.
	Everyday	Let's both do our best.
	Everyday	Hello. Nice weather, isn't it?
	Everyday	Well, there's no mail on Sundays.
	Everyday	I like talking with everybody everyday.
	Everyday	Moving around is good for the body and soul.
	Everyday	You should check the mailbox everyday. There are leaflets from the shops as well as letters.
	Everyday	The Crafts Shop doesn't have much selection because they only sell the things they like.
	Everyday	Time seems to pass so quickly when you're trying to make contact by mail. You need to budget your time.
	Everyday	I like writing letters. You can picture the face of the person you're writing to.
	Everyday	Letters are good. When you find a letter in the mailbox, doesn't it make you happy?
	Everyday	You can't see the connections between people. But you can with letters...It's exciting.
	Everyday	I help make the connections between people. I like my job very much.
	Everyday	When someone's been waiting for a letter, they look so happy when I hand it to them. I get to share their happiness, which makes me happy too.
	Everyday	Sometimes I have to deliver serious letters...and sad letters.
	Everyday	But that's why I feel so good about delivering happy letters.
	Everyday	I like to rest on holidays. Read a book...that kind of thing.
	Everyday	I like to move around, but I'm no good at hard sports.
	Everyday	I like writing letters, but sometimes it can be so hard.
	Everyday	I tried to write a letter the other day, but ended up just wasting paper.
	Everyday	It's difficult to convey all of your feelings in conversation. But with letters it's even harder.
	Everyday	Letters last forever, so I'm more careful than when just talking.
	Everyday	I hope people will continue to write letters in the future, even if more convenient means are developed.
	Everyday	I feel lonely somehow on days when the library is closed.
	Everyday	Hi. Got the day off, so I plan to take it easy and read a book.
	Everyday	It's no good reading in a dark place. Bad for the eyes.
	In Library	H-h-hello. So, <Player's Name>, you've come to borrow a book too? Good, good.
	Everyday	I like history books. I'm fascinated with what people did in the past.
	New Year	The year's almost over. Best wishes for the new year.
	Festival Tomorrow	I heard the Festival's taking place tomorrow.
	Summer	Whew it's hot in the Summer. I'm not good in the heat.
	Fall	Fall is a good time for reading, eh?
	Winter	It's cold everyday, isn't it...?
	Winter	I'm busy in the winter. Maybe because people don't go out much.
	Spring	It's a nice season. I can enjoy the scenery while delivering the mail.
	Rainy Day	I take care when delivering mail on rainy days.
	Everyday	Take care of yourself.
	Rainy Day	Be careful. The road is slippery.
	Everyday	I took yesterday off. It would have been no good at all to have the letters blown away.

	Everyday	Oh, hi.
	Everyday	Oh, uhmmm.....hi.
	???	I'm sorry, but I don't know how to use it.

	Recipe Received	Got the ”Garlic Potato Beef” recipe!
	Everyday	Try your best.
	Show Dog	Oh, nice dog. I had a dog, too, a long time ago.
	Everyday	Ms. Maria isn't good with dogs.
	Show Child	Oh, how cute. Takes after the mother..or maybe you, <Player's Name>?
	Give Letter	Ohhh, that's my letter! I dropped it, and I was worrying what to do.
	Everyday	I can't send the letter...I keep rewriting it...I don't know how many times now.
	Everyday	......Haaaa.
	Everyday	I'm interested in Ms. Maria... But I don't know how to tell her......
	Everyday	At first I was happy just to see her. But now that I can talk with her and she smiles at me... I'm greedy. I want to talk with her more and more...
	Everyday	Can Ms. Maria be that insensible...? Or am I just anxious...
	Everyday	I've given it a lot of thought, and I think maybe the best thing is to tell her my true feelings... That's what I'm thinking.
	Everyday	Ms. Maria seems to like writing letters very much...I handle a lot of here letters. Sometimes I feel happy about it, but other times I feel sad.

	Sammy	If you drink this ”Lively Tea” everyday, you will become very healthy! And it has cosmetic effects, too. Why don't you try it? 5000G for one month!
	Maria	No, I..., I...
	Sammy	It's also good for dieting! And I'll add in this high-grade soap! Come on now.
	Maria	...B, but, I can't buy such expensive things.

	Harris	What?! Maria is already beautiful! She doesn't need that junk! Get out of here!
	Sammy	Poooh. I thought she was a easy dupe...
	Maria	Th..th..thank you very much... I have a hard time saying no...I should change, but... ...
