Since the next holiday is scheduled on the same day as the Ganesha Cup Boat Races, it's likely that Ivan Lute won't show up to give his goods away, but that doesn't mean Raguna can't save up money for the extension to his lab! Either that, or he could use the money to fill Selphy's coffers by buying up the books she isn't using.
Melody, happy from receiving the red and green grass, now wants some white and black grass. Must be Christmas time at Melody's place or something...
Speaking of Selphy and money, Lara tells Raguna that she lent Selphy some money (presumably to help her with the book that she was writing) a while ago, but still hasn't received it, so she sends Raguna to collect. Raguna agrees to help out, but a slip of the A button—erm, tongue, makes that come out as "She's got the money". Lara sees through his lie, and then decides to ask Selphy herself for the money.
Going down into the Lava Ruins isn't quite as perilous with Raguna's new girly headgear on. The scorpions that hang around the area where he normally mines for silver hardly do any damage to him. He decides to give one to Rosetta, who likes it so much that she puts it on right in front of him. Aww... Uzuki does the same thing with one of his spare pendants, but it's harder to see the changes on her, since the pendant is so thin.
After a few days of mining and selling things for gold, Raguna is able to upgrade all of his tools to silver, even the under-utilized hoe and sickle. He celebrates by getting some food at the tavern. When he bumps into Ganesha, she makes a head-scratching request for him. "If you have any minerals you don't need, bring them to me. Oh, and some Demon Blood would be nice, too."
At this point, Raguna realizes that he can make a pretty penny selling the goods he's made through cooking. His Dumplings command a good price on the market...about 2, 000 gold per dish. He's set to make over 15K gold thanks to the crops he's grown...the most he's made in a single day. This gives him enough money to spring for the lab upgrade from Kross, as well as get some extra books on the side. He looks into expanding his crafting abilities by purchasing manuals on rings (for the arms) and brooches (for the torso). With everyone hyped up for the Ganesha Boat Cup, there isn't much else for Raguna to do for the next two days except mine for silver and collect materials for his craft work. After the days are done, he walks away with a Wing Ring (which boosts wind-elemental attack) and a Ruby Brooch (which boosts fire defense).
The next big upgrade for Raguna's house is likely going to be a second bedroom, but that will cost him 75, 000 gold and 900 lumber to put together. That's...going to take a while.
