"Konnichiwa, ducklings~~ ♥!" Shunsui greeted the class in the classroom that afternoon not sitting in the usual circle this time, but standing. "Now, don't get too comfortable right away, we'll not be staying in the classroom today, but instead, taking a little trip to highlight this week's word, which, hopefully, weather permitting, should tie in very nicely with last week's word ♥. Allow me to explain..."

With that, he gestured to the board where he had the word, the kanji, and the definition written on it:

shinrinyoku
森林浴
(forest bathing)


"The act of shinrinyoku, or forest bathing, is that of taking a walk through the forest for the restorative and theraputic benefits that one such act can produce, mostly, of course, through the komorebi ♥." Here, he threw the students a little knowing wink. See? How could anyone argue it was barely a class, when he was connecting lessons and everything? "After all, science has actually proven that walking through nature has benefits to your health and happiness, but why let all the scientists have the fun, when we can just go out and experience shinrinyoku ourselfs, neh ♥?

"And it's a lovely day for it, too," he added unless the weather forecast is a LIE, "but still a bit chill, so if you need to run get an extra jacket before we forest bath, please do so, there's no rush." It was literally the whole assignmen for the day, after all. "And then we're off to the woods ♥."
