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.
[This annoys him because Tonbokiri is right. What also annoys him more is that no one can get mad at Tonbokiri so he's considering how he can debate this without yelling at him.]
[The expression on the sword's face is pretty clear. (Amusingly.) And, Tonbokiri will admit, he's glad Hasebe didn't enter his default 'shout reprimands' mode at once. Taking the chance, he gestures invitingly further into the Citadel.]
You can leave this in Konnosuke-dono's good hands-- paws, and let us find somewhere more comfortable to wait. Or, if I may be so bold... I have several cotton yukata. Although your uniform suits you well [For... a foreign style?] you may find a change of clothing as refreshing as a change of location.
[He was still debating this. Tonbokiri truly took advantage of this while he should not have, because truth is this means that he has no space to actually argue back. No!!!]
Hmph. [Curses, it's working.] Konnosuke still may require our help. But...I suppose I can try on one of your yukata. If I am to remain well for Aruji.
Konnosuke-dono can call upon us if he needs assistance. Won't you? [He addresses the pipe fox, who is quick to agree. (Please take the hovering, brooding sword away...)
With that settled, Tonbokiri leads the way further inside towards his room.]
I hope you shall find it satisfactory, Heshikiri Hasebe-dono. If you feel to be in even a slightly better condition because of it, I shall count that a success. For you, and for Aruji's sake.
[As for the size... one size fits all. Because almost all are smaller than Tonbokiri.]

[Okay how big are these yukatas.]
