Aurelia: How long are you going to keep this up... What a waste of this delicious-looking bread.
Charles: Hmm, that bread...? No, it can't be...
Aurelia: ...What about this bread?
Charles: It's...It used to be really popular in the city. Why is it here in this town...?
Aurelia: Now that you mention it. they do look like they'd be a hit with city folk. Ronald is sure considerate.

When: Fall 5th to 9th, Year 2Weather: Any
Where: Ronald's shop
Requirements: Ronald's FP is at least 55, you've sold at least 68 crops.
Ronald: Hey, DroidHarvest. Welcome. Today's...
Charles: This is the grocery store that sells the bread in town, isn't it?
Ronald: Yes... We have bread, what's it to you?
Charles: I just love bread. I've eaten an assortment of bread both beautiful and not so beautiful. But among them, there was this bread that was on another level. I ate that bread every day.
That bread supported me. Just one bit would relax me, and let me forget all my worries. But one day, the person who baked that bread disappeared...
Ronald:...So?
Charles:...The bread you made was very similar to the one I would eat. You should sell your bread to a larger population. It should be experienced by many people as possible.
Charles: It shouldn't be wasted in a boring place like this!
Ronald. That's where you're wrong. What's important to me is that I bring satisfaction to the people of this town.
Doing something that you love for the people you love. That's the best way to live. That's why I don't want Leaf Valley to disappear. I don't plan on leaving.
Charles: Then...If the Funland construction is canceled you'll continue baking bread here?
Ronald: As long as I have this store. I'll bake for anyone of my customers.
Charles: The success of my company, or the beautiful memory that sustained my spirit...Which make me happier?
...Oh, if my boss heard me say that. I'm not sure what kind of trouble I would be in. Well, I'll get going then.
Ronald: I started a grocery store here because I wanted to feel the happiness that my cooking brought people.
Food in the city is treated just like fuel or expensive brand items. That's why I don't like the city. But...Location isn't the issue. If I cooked something that truly touched people's hearts... Then they might change.
DroidHarvest, I think I'll give this whole city thing a try.
*Jengjengjengjeng
Ronald: Of course, this doesn't mean I'm quitting this store. If the bread becomes a hit, and it brings people to Leaf Valley...
Then the Funland construction might get canceled and that fellow who just left can eat all the bread he wats. Good idea, huh?
Besides, if a lot of people start coming to this town to buy bread, that means I've touched their hearts.
So, I was wondering If I could ask you, a man with a working farm, for a favor. I want you to grow these "Prized Breadfruit Seeds" for me.
Without it, the bread won't have that shape and texture...Oh, sorry, just some shop talk. Anyway, I'm counting on you.
After this scene, you should plant the prized breadfruit seeds on your farm, or Goddess Spring.

*The Conversation
Ronald: Oh, DroidHarvest, thanks! Well, I'll get started then...
...Or so I thought. Sorry, DroidHarvest. I can't make my new bread I had in mind with this. These grains should turn out better than this. I can't make the good dough without it.
Here are some new seeds. This is all I have left now. Please take good care of them.
*Outside Grocery Store
Nick: DroidHarvest, I just heard everything. Don't worry about it. Don't feel down!
