Yes, and I kinda got lazy and didn't go to the Ranch at 2..... what happens if you defeat "them"?
Ahh well, time to go back to the Pirate's Fortress.
If you want to make it easier on yourself, go to the Road to Ikana and use the Lens of Truth around a group of rocks. When you give Shiro a Red or Blue Potion, he will give you the Stone Mask, which will make you invisible.
If you defeat "them", you'll get a botle of Romani Milk and you can help Cremia at the evening of the second day.
