Beach. Everyone has been working so hard lately so why not take a break and enjoy the beach? You can make sand castles, play in the water, and there are even umbrellas for those who'd rather just relax in the shade. There's a nice row of water melons ready to be smashed later in the day and when the sun goes down, that's when the sparklers come out.
Suffering. It's the hottest time of the year and the citadel doesn't have central air conditioning. The few air conditions that were installed have given up on life after being used so much and now, we really have to make do with what we can while the Konnosuke try to fix it. There's a limited number of fans, plenty of ice cream to go around, and the citadel should be built to circulate air, right? ... Right?!
Spooks. In Japan, summer is a time for horror. Gather around the camp fire and hear some spooky ghost stories or maybe head out into the woods just outside the citadel for a good ol' fashioned test of courage. It's all good, harmless fun! Of course, with so many spirits gathered in one place, what's to say a stray or curious outsider spirit won't join the mix...
Rain. Summer is also known for sudden and torrential downpours of rain. The clouds always seem to grown and darken suddenly and the next thing you know, it's raining sheets and the ground is shaking from thunder. Once it starts, it never seems to stop. Maybe you were caught out in the rain or maybe this is day 7 stuck inside.
Other! It's summer and there are tons of things to do. Go to the general store and stock up on ice cream, wake up in the middle of the night uncomfortable with heat, or run around screaming because cicadas are dying and flying at your face.
[What a fantastic idea from his good friend. However, Hasebe's eyebrow twitches only because he should've thought of this and he didn't and now Aruji will suffer. Hopefully, Mitsutada will give some to their illustrious leader very soon. Very soon.]
You've been running around to hand those out, haven't you? I will happily take one, but perhaps the others should collect it from the kitchen themselves.
[ Are you trying to say that dads and the jokes they make aren't cool???
Mitsutada lets out a small sigh of relief. Leave it to Hasebe-san to be able to take charge when he couldn't. (Who is he kidding, Hasebe was always in charge) Once he felt more steady, he stands up a little straighter with a small smile on his face. ]
A friend with fast reflexes?
[ Mitsu, you know darn well that's not what he meant. ]
[Hasebe is no expert, but many people say they aren't cool! Mitsutada! Don't go to the dark side!
(Also true Hasebe is always in charge because he can't stop himself from being nosy as fuck--)
A shake of his head, as he tries to push him up, and his eye twitches at Mitsutada's response.]
My reflexes are only the most impressive so that Aruji would never have to worry about me. [Um, Hasebe, not now.] But that was not what I was implying. You very well know that you just stumbled.
Did I stumble or did the floor move under me? One of life's greatest questions...
[ He knew deep down that Hasebe was right, that he should take a break instead of all the running around he's been doing, but even he had his stubborn sides from time to time. ]
Weren’t you running an errand for Aruji? I would hate to keep you from that.
[ Though he does appreciate Hasebe’s worry over him. He’d promise him he’d walk back on his own but even he knows that’s not a promise he could keep...]

[He's saying this for your own good, man.]

You don't need to worry so much on my behalf. I can handle myself.
[ Can he though? Because the moment he says that, he stumbles a tiny bit backwards. ]
no subject
He clicks his tongue before he reaches out and tries to catch the tachi's back to help him steady himself.]
And how would you explain that?

The rest of the snacks can wait, you need to rest.

[ To what? He doesn't finish his sentence, and instead his hand reaches out to grip onto Hasebe's shoulder. ]

Need to lie down? Anymore and you'll be falling face down instead. [He frowns.] Come on, I'll take you to your room.
