Mnemonic

You get a note in the mail from winter! This is it, you're going to be rescued! You open the note and it says, "I have rescued you with this cucumber (きゅう)." A cucumber falls out of the note.

Hints

This cucumber is supposed to be cool and refreshing enough to rescue you from the heat. I guess it was too much to expect winter to come early just for you. At least cucumbers are yummy.
