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.
[ Sengo can only turn slightly pale, as he raises one trembling finger toward the door. ]
…That.
[ Should Satori turn, she’ll meet a pair of blinking eyes staring back at her from behind the door—no, they’re on the door, actually. And it isn’t long before a set of eyes blink open upon each panel, revealing a veritable infestation of Mokumokuren.
Although honestly the fair Saniwa herself doesn’t look too out of place among them. ]
Not scared. It takes more than that to scare her. But no, she's not happy.]
How did they even get in?
[Before Sengo can answer, though, she suddenly raises her hand.]
You know what? I don't fucking care. If they wanna watch me pee, more power to them.
[And she steps into the bathroom and slams the door behind herself.
When she comes out five minutes later, though, she fishes a paper ofuda from her pocket and focuses some spiritual power in it... and then slaps it on top of the door.]
Tell me if they're still here tomorrow morning. I'm going back to bed. And don't fucking get undressed!
[ Well, he’d be the last person in the Citadel to worry about modesty or any of that junk. But still, he can’t help but remain stunned into silence as Satori takes swift and decisive action in going for a pee. That takes a professional. ]
Ha…
[ He can’t even muster his usual snigger. ]
Since you don’t want me to undress, I’ll just have to congratulate you the [ boring ] normal way: well done, Master. Huhu…I feel strangely invigorated watching all of that. They seem to feel the same way.
[ At his prompting, the multitude of tsukumogami eyes demurely avert their gazes. ]
Most of them snuck in before we realized what was going on.
[ Although he maybe looks a little too relaxed about all this. Then again, better a bunch of goofy youkai than an invasion from the Historical Revisionists.
He lets out another one of his trademark chuckles. ]
The others have been trying to yank the bedsheets off the tantou for the past hour or so already.
.... We have a youkai infestation and no one thought it might be a good idea to wake me up? Where's Manba? I'm going to kill him! Blanket! Get your ass over here!
[ Well, he tried. He really did. He’d faithfully stood guard and tried to keep their Saniwa busy as instructed, but the other swords have truly underestimated her ability to bulldoze through even his ironclad beefiness.
But to this failure to Nikkari’s charge he can but cross his arms over his head in a pose of perfect nonchalance as he chuckles and follows her to the great hall. ]
So now we’re waking up the entire Citadel? [ Master is truly quite energetic…! ] I’m sure even Kunihiro won’t be pleased, if he somehow escapes his blanket in time.
I want all of these youkai out and I want them out now!
[And how any of you expected to keep this from her all freaking night is what she wants to know because with the racket y'all are making how would she not know!]

Oooooooh? And why, pray tell, am I not going to like it? And what am I not going to like?

If you don't scram by tomorrow morning, I'm exorcising you. Am I being clear?
[And then she yawns widely. It's still the middle of the night.]
Now all of you go back to bed. If I hear another tantou shrieking I'm grounding all of you.

Good night, Master. May your bed not bite.
[ …Literally. She can’t let her guard down around inanimate objects anymore. ]

And marches back up to him.]
What did you just say? What the fuck did you guys do? You mean those are not the only ones that got in?
