Leisure

Mnemonic

The leader who usually hits you with a stick in winter finds it in his heart to give you some leisure time.

Hints

You fall to your knees, "Oh thank you for not hitting me with your stick and letting me relax!" You haven't had a moment of leisure in ages!

Mnemonic

You're just about to start your leisure time when a group of youths (ゆう) appears with their own sticks. You look back for the leader, and he's wearing a bathrobe, sunglasses, and is drinking some hot cocoa. Wait... this is leisure time for... HIM?! OH NO!

Hints

As the leader leisurely watches, the youths smack you with their sticks. What a cruel world! "Enjoy your leisure time," the leader yells over, "the youths hit much softer than I do. Have fun!"
