Mnemonic

You descend to the bottom and there it is, the Winter Cow. You walk up to the cow, and it swings its head back to see you. Instead of a cow's face, it's こういち's face.

Hints

"Hello, thank you for descending all the way down here to see me," says the Winter Cow with こういち's face. "You thought you could use the Winter Cow to stop me, but as you can see, I got here first."
