"Trout goes on a quest for knowledge with you to uncover the mysteries of June." As you walk down the familiar forested road where you first, quite literally, ran into Trout, you notice an uncharacteristic opening in the dense forest canopy. You walk over to it and stand in the sunshine, admiring the sky above. For a moment you notice a faint glimmer of a rainbow, just before – Trout: Oh, it’s you! World-hopper, I’ve been looking for you. Do you have a moment?
Trout: You’ve noticed all of the sunshine we’ve been getting lately, haven’t you? It-it’s so wonderful, that’s how you know that summer is just around the corner! The light seems to be able to creep through even the darkness of the forest. Sometimes it even reaches my turnips! But um… This might sound weird, but I think I’ve seen rainbows in the sky over my fields every day since the weather started to change. I’ve been wondering about it a whole lot lately. It’s too much of a coincidence that this is all happening at the same time, right?
Trout looks down at the ground nervously before continuing. Trout: B-but I was just thinking, what if maybe it isn't a coincidence... maybe it's some kind of magical occurrence from the changing seasons? ...It could be, right? Trout looks up at you anxiously, hoping for your approval.
Trout: W-well… I don’t know. But maybe a more experienced farmer like Bearnard would know? Farmers know a lot about seasonal changes! I’d go ask him myself, but I’ve never been outside of the forest. I don’t know the way to Louise Hill…
Trout: Oh, thank you world-hopper! I’ll be waiting here anxiously for any news, like always!

"You visit Bearnard at Trout's request, only to find him in a bit of a snaily predicament." As you make your way to Bearnard's farm, you notice that his fields seem to be filled with lots of colorful snails... You can see an exasperated Bearnard yelling and waving a rake at them from his front porch.
Bearnard: Okay, okay. I’ll tell you what I know, just help me get rid of some of these snails first. Bearnard wants you to acquire 1 Snail Friends and 1 of each type of Conecake item, then alchemize them so that the snail won't return to his field.
Tip: You can receive Snail Friends through Random Item Alchemy. You return to find Bearnard covered in snails, trying but failing to peel them off of his crops and contain them in a bucket. To help Bearnard, you'll need to acquire 1 Snail Friends and 1 of each type of Conecake item, then alchemize them so that the snail won't return to his fields.
Bearnard sits down on his porch in defeat, a snail trailing its way over his forehead. You show him the rainbow-colored snails that you alchemized. Bearnard: Well that was useless, but I guess you tried your best... These blasted snails, they show up every year to eat my turnips. It always happens around this time of a year, without warning or explanation. So what was it that you wanted to know? Something about seasons?
Bearnard: I don't know anything about magical seasonal events, or anything like that. I'm just a simple farmer, I know the weather and what's good for my turnips. The only thing I can think of is that every June, just as the weather is starting to turn to summer, rainbows start popping up here and there. Don't ask me why, 'cause I don't know the answer. I wouldn't be surprised if magic had to do with it though... Maybe all of these snails showing up has to do with it too. You'd be better off asking around town to see if anyone knows more about the magic going-ons of the world. They might be able to give you a better answer.
As you make your way down the familiar cobbled road into town, you notice that Fantasia and Lilia are sitting in the grass not too far from you, looking up at a large rainbow stretching across the cloudless sky. You don't want to bother them, as they look so content together - but Fantasia hears you approaching and beckons you over. Lilia: Hello again world-hopper! Are you out to admire the June rainbows? We couldn't help ourselves, they seem to get bigger and brighter every year!
Fantasia shrugs and looks over to Lilia. Lilia: The rainbows? Well, I think I recall reading about it once in my studies... Something about the flow of magic in the world shifting during particular months of the year.

"Trout goes on a quest for knowledge with you to uncover the mysteries of June." Trout: World-hopper, you're back! How did it go, did you find out anything from Bearnard?
Trout swells up with pride at the news, clasping his tiny hands together. Trout: Oh, I almost can't believe it! My farmer's intuition was right for once!
Trout: Yes, you're right. Maybe... We could ask Irin next? I hate to bother them, but they're probably the oldest living being in the forest - if anyone knows anything about the magical history of the world, it'd be them!

"You find Irin meditating in the forest, the mystery expands..." You and Trout slowly make your way over to Irin's glade, stopping occasionally to take in the unusual sparkle of life in the forest. You find Irin with their eyes closed, sitting as still as a tree, taking in the warm sunlight. Even the sprites seem at peace, resting quietly on Irin's limbs. In the light, their wings seem to refract tiny rainbows.
Irin: These days have grown so beautiful, haven't they? It must be June already... Do you need anything, world-hopper? Or have you come by to enjoy this moment with us?
Irin: The... origin? I don't know the origin of the magic that courses through this world. Only a deity would be able to tell you something grand like that. Irin chuckles at the thought, as the sprites surrounding them chitter in agreement. Of course, what I do know is that the magic of this world is pulled in many different directions. Powers beyond our knowing wax and wane, some surging to life at specific times of year. I often feel the magical flow of the earth's energy changing deep in my roots.
Irin: Well, if you believe in such things. There are many legends that exist, which might provide you with the answers that you're looking for. There is one in particular about the month of rainbows, but... Trout looks at Irin with wide eyes, hopeful as ever.
Irin: But I don't quite recall it, unfortunately. When you've lived for as long as I have, sometimes the stories get a bit mixed up... I believe that the legend has something to do with the power of "the sparkling one" surging in the month of June. This magical energy is supposed to be responsible for the abundance of rainbows. There's also some tale about magical rainbows appearing over water, whose reflections hold great discoveries for those lucky enough to find them... Or am I thinking of a different story? Honestly, I'm not certain. As much as I dislike consulting the witches for help, I'm sure their knowledge of magical legend and lore is far deeper than my own. Maybe they can give you more information. Trout looks over at you eagerly, his eyes still wide with intrigue.
As you thank Irin and leave the glade, Trout tugs at your sleeve. Trout: D-do you think... the legend that Irin mentioned might be true?
Trout eagerly grabs your hand and toddles forward toward the witches' part of the forest, his fear of the witches seemingly overcome by his momentary excitement.

"Barclay peruses his collection of magical texts for Trout." As you and Trout trudge through the forest, you come upon Barclay sitting in his meadow with a book. The meadow's grass and flowers have grown so high that Trout is barely visible at your side and Barclay fails to notice him accompanying you. Barclay: Oh, hi there world-hopper. What brings you here?
Barclay: Hm... i believe that's a very old legend, I'd have to consult one of my magical history books. It's probably around the house... somewhere. Barclay rushes inside to rummage around for the book, finally emerging with a very dusty, old book in his hands. He sets down the book, entitled "Historical Anthology of Magical Legends", which seems to be locked with an unusual contraption. This is it! Now, I know it doesn't look like it, but it's been ages since I've opened this book. So I might have, uh... forgotten the spell to open it. I know I wrote it down somewhere though! It's probably on the back of one of my magical recipes laying around. Would you help me look for it?
Tip: Barclay wants any pet recipe scroll or Leatherbound Journal. Recipe scrolls can be purchased from Officiator's Record Office. Barclay: Ah yes, that's the one! The spell is written on the back right here. Barclay flips over the scroll and recites the spell, promptly unlocking the mechanism binding the old book. Barclay: Alright, let's see here... Barclay opens the book to its index page, scrolling through it with his finger. Barclay: T... Hm, not quite... T-U- Ah, here it is! Page 1207. It says here that "the sparkling one" is a reference to an ancient magical entity who rises to prominence in the month of June, clearing the skies of clouds and casting rainbows across the land. Legends tell of magical occurrences during this month, where some lucky individuals may catch a glimpse of a rainbow shimmering across the surface of a body of water. If one should choose to peer at the mirror image within, it is said that you will see a reflection of the beauty of your inner self. Barclay closes the book, looking contemplative. Barclay: I wonder what I'd see in my reflection... Trout: Would you really look? I'd be afraid... what if I didn't see anything because there's nothing beautiful inside me? Barclay laughs light-heartedly and pats Trout on the shoulder. Barclay: You worry too much, Trout. I'm sure that's not true. It's just an old tale anyway, it might not be real. Trout wrings his hands anxiously but nods, accepting that Barclay is probably right. You and Trout thank Barclay for his assistance with discovering the legend behind the rainbows, and finally begin your journey back to Trout's tiny farm on the edge of the forest.

"Trout goes on a quest for knowledge with you to uncover the mysteries of June." On your way back, Trout falls behind a bit. No sooner than you notice that Trout is no longer by your side, you hear a light thud on the ground behind you. When you turn to look, you see Trout laying face down in the mud on the side of the path. As he quickly tries to pick himself up, you notice him stop to stare at a tiny mud puddle that he almost fell into. You give him a moment to compose himself, catching what you think is a glimpse of his wide eyes tearing up a bit after having seen his reflection in the puddle. He wobbles over to you without saying a word.

History
"While going for a stroll on a warm June day, you come across a glittering lake on the side of the road. As you slow down to admire the sight, you realize that the glittering of the water isn't just the reflection of the sun... the surface of the lake itself is shimmering with faint rainbow hues. The colors almost seem to dance across the placid water, dazzling and brilliant. You can feel your spirits lift at the sight!" - 2020
