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.
Except I'm pretty sure I put you on horse duty this morning. Unless my memory fails me. Do you think my memory is failing me, Kane-chan? Am I an old woman?

Ah well... you see. I was going to get to it and all, but...
[ But he didn't want to... ]

[But what, Kane-chan?
the only reason why she hasn't literally kicked your ass right there is because it's too hot to do so.]

[ Lying through his teeth... ]

[Do tell, Kane-chan, she is eager to know.]

[ The way he says that so matter of factly.... ]

[You just did not.... but of course you did.]
You have thirty seconds to get your butt down to the stables and fucking do the chores you are assigned to or I am dragging you there myself.

[ Oh no... that look in her eyes. He actually feels his body trembling a little... S-slowly he starts to get up. ]
B-But I have business to attend to so I can't possibly stick around any longer...!
[ And Izumi sprints out of her room faster that Mikazuki can swing a blade. ]

If I catch you slacking off you're on field duty for two months, Kane-chan!
