Mnemonic


[z-] Zelda is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop where she is about to go to the bathroom. Suddenly two 先 cavemen come barging in and begin 赞 praising her and her princess beauty. They even give her a secondhand 贝 shellfish as a token of their 赞 praise before leaving. Zelda blushes at being 赞 praised so directly before locking the bathroom door to make sure nobody else comes in.
