Diederik

**Diederik** (ディードリック *Dīdorikku*) is a bachelor in Pretty Country: True Love.

He has taken up his father's poor English, which makes it difficult for others to understand him, and sometimes lands Diederik in confusing situations. His younger sister, Christina, is also very concerned about him. Diederik likes dairy products such as butter and cheese.

Despite Diederik's lack of knowledge in English, he is actually hiding his fluency. It first started long ago when Diederik said a word from his sister. He hated it, which made Christina very upset. After that incident, Diederik wished to tell the truth by lying, and now he makes it a habit like his father, who speaks in broken English.

## **History**

At the beginning of 'Diederik's Fluency', when they give a Cork Stopper as an apology for Diederik, he mentions that Taylor actually thinks that the light was what took her friend away. He also explains that the light emerges from a series of disturbances in the love energies from a monster and human. The Player is is a bit in shock since they are human and idol. Diederik elaborates "But I *hasn't* found where it *cause* a person to disappear. Just *a* monster pets." Kari still says that she saw her friend (a person) disappear with her own eyes. Diederik then says "*Is* that really a human?" Kari is shocked by the inference made by Diederik. The Player is an idol in training, and the Cork Stopper nearing the light had love entity within it. The effect of boundary-breaking created a portal-form of energy from such disturbance in the atmosphere. It is to ensure that this 'boundary' limits certain disturbances between those who are different.

The objective of this game is to find and mark all the words hidden inside the box, which consists the name of a marriage candidate or citizen in Loveland. The words may be placed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Often a list of the hidden words is provided, but more challenging puzzles may let the player figure them out.

If the player plays successfully, they will be rewarded with Milk Bread and +2000 HP, while failure results in receiving -2000 HP.

"I'm waiting!"

(*At the date*)

**Diederik:** "I'm glad you show up. Shall we sit here?"

**Player:** *Nod*

(*Time passes...*)

**Diederik:** "Are you interested in sight-seeing? My asking plan is staring into the space, which I think is quite fair."

 Bad spot! | Oh, really? (*After the date*) Let's go home...

**Confession**
When Diederik reaches 4 Hearts (40.000 HP) or more, the player will receive a Phone Call from him, in a procedure similar to date. This time, he will say something important to the player. Be sure to show up at the fountain by 16:00 (cannot be triggered if she shows up late).

"Before that, meet me at the fountain around 16:00."

"I will wait."

(*Confession*)

"What should I do...? I'm not good with this kind of thing, but..."

"We already known each other, but I think the two of us would make a perfect couple."

"Um... please go out with me!"

*To test how the two of us feel toward each other, you are able to like Diederik or better choose someone else. Which response?*

 I like someone else... | That's what you think? Too bad. I thought we were a good couple.
