Mnemonic


[y-] Yoshi is in [1] front of the [-ao] barn where he sees a strange 夭 chute attached to the side of the structure. Suddenly a 妖 bewitching 女 woman comes shooting out of the 夭 chute and lands near the pool of mud. Yoshi is so 妖 bewitched by the 女 woman that he gets on his knees and gives her a bunch of spotted eggs. All the other farm animals are similarly 妖 bewitched.
