The game itself

What is Happilia? The progress you earn by helping villagers and developing Teradea. It is what the Harvest Goddess uses to restore the land — see Happilia.
How many romance candidates are there? Ten, split five bachelors and five bachelorettes, spread across the four villages. Nine are named in Natsume's released material, and one of your options is the protagonist you did not choose. See romance.
