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.
[ He won’t judge…too much. What he’d seen of Izuminokami tonight was more than enough entertainment already. If the man was ready to go home, then Yagen won’t stop him. ]
At least you’ll probably escape from here without ending up like Mutsunokami and Nagasone.
Whatever happened to that fierce resolve of yours?
[ Not that that matters anymore since Kanesada did run away from one of the spooks in the forest already.
But in some ways that’s actually kind of a smart move. Test of courage this may be, but an uchigatana willing to assess the situation and retreat in the face of overwhelming…spookiness can be an asset too! ]
[ He huffs loudly, giving Yagen a gentle squeeze to make sure he was still on his back just fine before turning back toward the forest. He'll show him crying!!! ]
I'm the innocent party here there's no way there's a list.
[ He may be stupid at times when his hotheadedness took over, but even he wasn't foolish enough to purposely upset Ichigo. Something about the mere idea sent shivers down his spine... ]
When did you scare me? I don't recall getting frightened at all.
Whatever tried to hurt us earlier... I wasn't going to just let it intimidate us.
[ He clicks his tongue and turns his head to the side. The one good thing about having as much hair as he did, it meant it was easier to hide his embarrassed face. ]

[ What is that even supposed to mean— ]

Izuminokami shivers at the thought. It was hard to tell when Yagen was joking sometimes because he was really good at keeping a straight face. ]
I'm.... going to assume it was an illusion.
[ For his sanity. ]

I-I was going to keep you safe! Just because I may... be a bit impulsive from time to time...!

[ How they survived the ordeal that is Katsugeki is a mystery to them all. Yagen pokes at the back of Kanesada’s head for emphasis. ]
Horikawa and I can’t always be deployed to look after you, you know.

I’d be grateful, Izuminokami. I’ll try not to scare you more than necessary.
no subject

Maybe you weren't. After all, you were too busy trying to be cool before anything else.
