Underlying Rumor

Rumor of the Misery Water

Official Translation: Have you heard? Has anyone told you? The Rumor of the Misery Water! There's a cooler box resting in the basket of an old-fashioned bicycle… Ask the man, "One cup please!" and get ready to drink up… Finish it off and you'll feel amazing! But oh no, that feeling is an illusion… The water you drank is actually cursed! After 24 hours, the misery you washed away with that water will cause a disaster. A hot rumor spreading throughout Sankyo! How horrible!

Trivia

Due to an error, the drinking horn rumor's name was originally displayed in Runes that read "BOSSBATTLE BATTLEBOSS" (BOSSBATTLE BATTLEBOSS). This is presumably the default value for boss names in Magia Record. You can see it here.
