Request

Mnemonic

Look at the ground! You spilled some water drops, so I request that you wipe them up. I'd do it myself, but you're the one who spilled them, so I'm requesting that you do it. Pretty reasonable request, right?

Hints

It's a simple request, really. Just wipe up those water drops off the ground.

Mnemonic

Oh, one more thing. I request that you wipe up the water with this cucumber (きゅう).

Hints

"But cucumbers are already mostly water, this isn't going to absorb anything!" you cry. Well, too bad. That's my request, so you better do it. Figure out how to make the cucumber work.
