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.
[F-Fun?? Well, you could call it that... Like last night, when they tried... No! He must banish such thoughts from his mind. He is on duty. Think pure thoughts. Innocent and pure thoughts. But, what did he do to deserve a master and husband who apparently both liked teasing him so, and discussing such very intimate details of his life!!]
[He briefly wonders this is appropriate then he just... doesn’t care anymore. He’s too mentally exhausted for now and just doesn’t have the energy to care anymore, for now anyway. He sighs.]
Sure. Just drop off the ice cream with Mitsu before it melts. I'll ask the big guys to inflate the pools and fill them and plug in the rest of the fans. Go on, shoo!

Just make sure you separate your laundry, that's all. Just in case.

... yes-yes, of course. [Can he please go home and find a place to hide now? His heart can’t take it anymore... He needs a hug and to be cuddled...]

Come on, there's no need to be embarrassed, Ichi. We're all adults here. I know what sex is and how it happens between people, okay?
no subject
.... okay.
[And they are back at the citadel.]
May I take the rest of the day off, Aruji-sama?

[He gives her a bow then leaves with the ice cream. Maybe he’ll hang out with Mitsutada for the rest of the day since they’re besties now.]
