After getting out of bed, Raguna does a little bit of fishing to take his mind off the pain. He then visits Melody, who is having a problem running her hot spring because the hot water has stopped flowing from Whale Island, and she asks him to investigate.
[RV Note: Melody has apparently taken the lead away from Rosetta, since her Happiness/Love ratings are at 3/2, while Rosetta's are still at 2/2.]
That night, Raguna hears a voice calling out to him, saying that he's his father or something, and is "congratulating" him for being the first step in the artificial creation of monsters using the Spirit energy of Runes. (Dollars to donuts this person is gonna be our main villain, or working with him/her/it).
In addition to the investigation into the hot spring, Melody also wants Raguna to deliver her some Green Grass for a potion she's making. Luckily, Green Grass is plentiful this time of year, so acquiring one should be no problem. (Note to Self: Try to get the deliveries done on the same day by catching Anette while she's still out on her run.)
Raguna goes up to Whale Island to inspect the hot spring, and notices that there's a giant blocking the whole from which the water normally flows. He asks the giant to move out of the way of the path of the hot spring, but it refuses to budge unless Raguna brings it some ice cream. He rushes home (after a little running around) and prepares the ice cream, which only seems to require some milk and eggs. The giant is happy, and says that he "added some more water" to the spring because there wasn't enough of it. The spring flows free once again!
When Raguna goes back to the bath house, he notices a few significant..."changes" to the interior. Melody informs him that the giant took off the roof of the building and converted it to an outdoor bath house after it was given ice cream. The new building, christened "Neo Laga Springs", has larger facilities, but still only costs 10 gold for admission. Cool!
