The clear blue sky seems far higher and wider. The sun is so bright. The heat is unbearable and the wind has gone away. Noise from the cicadas just makes the situation worse. Summer is in the air.

Summer. Just the sound of this word brings displeasure. All living creatures hate this hot and muggy season. The trees, the flowers, the animals, the human, even the Org hate summer. Since summer arrived, the Org have stopped appearing. They must have hidden somewhere cool to avoid the heat. That could be the only thing that is good about summertime.

Gaorangers are having their hard time, too. Tetomu hid herself into the sacred pond. Sae got sick from the heat and hasn't fully recovered yet. Kai refuses to get out of the bathroom. What a weird way to hide the heat! Sotaro buys lots of ice cube and put around his bed. He thought it might turn his room into a big refrigerator, but of course that could never work. Both Shirogane and Kakeru are suffering from severe headaches.

The only one that immunes to such weather is Gaku. He tends to be more active and cheerful than usual. He talks, he smiles, he laughs. He sometimes sings when he's doing chores and taking care of others. He even let others call each other by their own name, not by their color, which surprises everyone. It seems to everyone that Gaku has gone berserk due to the heat. But who cares? He's happy, and that's enough, at least for Kakeru and Shirogane.

"He's cute." Shirogane compliments.

"Ah… so cute." Kakeru agrees.

Both of them have gotten accustomed to sharing Gaku. They know that if one of them alone approaches him, they will just end up with nothing and if they fight over him, they both will lose him. So they decided to join hands to have higher chance making Gaku theirs. They know that Gaku cares for them, but that thickheaded guy will never consider them as someone more than just friends. But it turns out that they are also thickheaded for not realizing Gaku's feelings for them.

"What are you two saying?" Gaku puts his face close to the other two men and smiles at them.

"Oh, hi… Gaku." Shirogane looks away, trying to hide the fact he's blushing.

"You… you… scare me! What's up?"

"Sorry." Gaku smiles. "I'm just checking on you to see whether you are ok or whether you need something else. Here's your ice patches."

"Thanks." Shirogane still tries to hide his face.

"You like summer?" Kakeru asks.

"Uh, I like the beautiful rays of sunlight. Summer is the only time you can see such beautiful yellow rays. I like the songs of the cidadas. And summer is time of festivals. I love festivals. Moreover, summer is somehow like me. Cheerful and lovable. Don't you think so?"

Both Shirogane and Kakeru look at Gaku for a while, long enough to make him blush, and nod. "Ah, you're right."

"Ok, now I have to check on others. I'm glad that the Org don't appear. What a peaceful time."

"Only you think it is peaceful." Kakeru sighs.

"Ah, talking about summer festivals, which is your favorite?" Shirogane wonders.

"Uh, let me see. Hanabi Taikai! So bright and colorful. And lots of traditional games like kingyo-sukui, or goldfish-catching,… other than the main firework part. And yakisoba, and okonomiyaki, and takoyaki, and kakigori, and stuff animals as winning prizes, and yukata, and… and…" Gaku tries his best remembering everything he likes about the Firework festival.

The other men laugh. "You're just like a kid, Ga-chan, talking like that…"

"Stop teasing me, Shiro-kun, Kake-kun!" Gaku blushes.

"Sorry. But you know, you look kind of cute that way."

Gaku turns away, all his face gets red. "Th… thanks. I've… gotta go now, gotta check on others. Lunch will be ready soon."

"Thanks, Ga-chan." Shirogane replies.

"Ga-chan, let's go to the Hanabi Taikai together, I mean with everyone." Kakeru suggests.

"Uh, let's asks the others." Gaku turns round and smiles.
