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.
Well, I... would like to find a pair for myself and... Mikazuki... Would you be willing to come with me to see if there’s anything suitable for us since you’re more familiar with this?
[Well, just looking is fine too. He doesn’t have to get them right now.]
[He, on the other hand, seems re-energized by the prospect! Life is great when you can just meddle in everyone else's love affairs, offering peanut gallery commentary and helping with cute things like picking out wedding rings.
Also, seeing Ichigo all shy and lovestruck is endearing. Older swords can be wild as hell and hard to understand, but these moments make them seem a little less alien, honestly.]
Ooh, I gotcha. [A grin!] Good thing for you, there's no one else in this whole Citadel with such a good eye for spotting cute things! I can definitely help with that.

He smiles gratefully at hearing that.]
Thank you, Kashuu-dono! Shall we go now?
